You need neither an instruction manual nor a
university education to love the Dead Daisies’ music. Their songs unerringly
hit their listeners’ autonomic nervous system, immediately take root in their
hearts and souls and force them to move along to the rhythm. “There are lots of
very good reasons why this kind of rock´n`roll has never gone out of fashion,”
band members David Lowy (Red Phoenix, Mink), John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, Ratt), Doug
Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio), Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy) and Brian
Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner) agree, our songs are simply timeless,
immortal, classic! That’s why working with The Dead Daisies is so much fun, and
that’s why the reaction is always phenomenal, no matter when and where this
band turns up.”
With his keen instinct and clear vision, founder, guitarist and songwriter
David Lowy has put together an amazing group of musicians that has caused
a stir with different line-ups, generating a consistently high level of
individual renown and outstanding artistic substance since 2012. While
initially, Richard Fortus and Dizzy Reed of Guns N’ Roses, Rolling Stones
members Darryl Jones and Bernard Fowler, as well as John Tempesta and Charley
Drayton of The Cult, among others, were involved, Low-y has once more enlisted
international stars for the recordings of the Dead Daisies’ third
album, Make Some Noise. “For me as a vocalist, this kind of high-calibre
line-up is an absolute dream come true,” enthuses John Corabi. “When you work
with the Dead Daisies, everybody is amazingly motivated to deliver top
performances.” So their new release lives up to its programmatic title: it would
be difficult to imagine a rock album that sounds more powerful, energetic and
vibrant.
Make Some Noise celebrates the kind of classic rock’n’roll that has gone from
strength to strength since the early 1970s and that sweaty clubs, hallowed
(concert) halls, arenas and stadiums would be impossible to imagine without.
Strong hooks, intense riffs, which have guitarist Doug Aldrich prove his
outstanding qualities, supported by a rhythm section consisting of drums and
bass that march forward without compromise plus Corabi’s charismatic vocals –
this album rocks from the first to the very last note. Cross-references to
renowned bands from the past feature just as much as highly contemporary sounds
and trendsetting directives. A number such as ´Long Way To Go` couldn’t have
been delivered better by AC/DC. ´Mainline` and ´Last Time I Saw The Sun` bring
to mind the likes of Aerosmith and Mr. Big. The title track ´Make Some Noise`
is nothing less than a self-confident, tongue-in-cheek rock statement that summarizes
this album’s general direction and may be taken quite literally – namely when a
euphoric audience give way to their enthusiasm. Not forgetting the wonderful
´Song And A Prayer` with its guitar licks and anthemic chorus reminiscent of
Guns N` Roses. Cross your heart: this is the kind of superb composition that
the public has been waiting for since ´Paradise City`.
Having said that, stylistically The Dead Daisies may be paying homage to the
long tradition of rock music, but they prove their unconditional independence
with every one of their tracks. Make Some Noise quotes renowned icons
but also resurrects – like its two predecessors The Dead
Daisies (2013) and Revolución (2015) – almost forgotten rock
classics. While in the past, The Dead Daisies brought back to life numbers like
the Alex Harvey success ´Midnight Moses` and ´Helter Skelter` by the
Beatles – both celebrated enthusiastically by the group’s fans – Make Some
Noise sees new incarnations of the Who anthem ´Join Together` and Creedence
Clearwater Revival’s ´Fortunate Son` forges an arc to the most colourful era of
rock history. Producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe,
Buckcherry) has made a significant contribution to the album’s success,
furnishing Make Some Noise with a breathtaking sound at the studio in
Nashville.
As David Lowy puts it so aptly: “The Dead Daisies mean pure fun to me. This
band is first and foremost about our passion for this kind of music and about
celebrating classic rock’n’roll. Because one thing is clear: if we have fun in
the studio and live on stage, that spark is bound to ignite our audience.”
