Dean has also done many amazing album covers, including Tool's "Undertow" and Pantera's "Far Beyond Driven". Dean tells stories about some of the milestones in his career, including Danzig's affinity for a certain pastry, food fights with members of Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin, behind the scenes of Slayer's famous live "Reign In Blood" video, dinner with Yoko in John Lennon's apartment, and tons more. Wait until you hear what got thrown onstage at the mega-concert, "Rock in Rio" while Iron Maiden was playing in front of 250,000 people. Dean did lots of work for Maiden during the "Brave New World" album and tour, including directing their video for "The Wicker Man" and the aforementioned "Rock In Rio" longform DVD.
