The New York City group is commonly known as one of the “big four” leading the way in the thrash metal scene and belted out hits including Indians and I Am The Law.
Dan’s first stint in the group ran from 1983 to 1995 before he re-joined for a second stab between 2005 and 2007.
He has also founded music group Red Lamb yet now specialises in another creative career.
Dan re-trained at prestigious Swiss watchmaking school WOSTEP and gained a certification to become a Mechanical Complications Specialist.

He now runs his own luxury watch service and this year released a limited-edition timepiece series dubbed ‘100 per cent Metal.’
There are only 30 of the accessories available and Dan wrote on his website: “The worlds first independent haute horlogerie mechanical timepiece designed from the ground up specifically for fans and creators of Heavy Metal music is at the end of research and development and readying release.”
Recently, a Nineties pop star looked completely different after releasing a football anthem.
Rock band Ash were also completely unrecognisable 27 years after their peak.
Meanwhile a Canadian rock band frontman has totally changed his look from his curly-blonde locks.
A Nineties hitmaker also switched pop fame to re-train as a mental health nurse – much to the surprise of fans.
