When I was Dead is a American hardcore punk band formed in Lodi, New Jersey in 2005. Its members included Danny Frankenstein (Dan Canzoneiri) - bass, CA Richie (Craig Richardson) - guitar, and Lenny Love (Leonard Asaro) - guitar. The band recorded 13 songs featuring mostly originals and some covers. The band flew out to Southern California to get some special guest performances recorded and. First stop was at George Paras' (band)ADZ and Bonecrusher studio just outside of Anaheim. Mike “Gabby” Gaborno, singer for the Cadillac Tramps and Manic Hispanic (band) Manic Hispanic. Mike "Gabby" Gaborno, did vocals on two cover songs (Love Song and Burning Love). For those that are familiar with Gabby’s Manic persona, he definitely put that stamp on these tracks. Next stop was up Interstate 5 to the home of Rikk Agnew, legendary punk guitarist for such bands as the Adolescents, D.I. and Christian Death. We tracked guitar solos in his living room for a new version of the EF classic “Dead By Dawn”. Later in the day Tina Winter of Voodoo Church stopped by and lent her sexy voice to the same song, inspiring Rik to add some background vocals. Both did a really great job. The last stop of the day was a little outside of Hollywood at the home and studio of Greg Hetson, guitarist for Bad Religion and Circle Jerks. Greg recorded lead guitar tracks on two new songs. The last session of the week was back at our friend George’s home studio near Anaheim with Tony of the Adolescents doing vocals and George recording some smoking lead guitar tracks.
