The Dead Daisies – LIVE & LOUDER – cd & dvd – SPV/Spitfire Music – # 279652

The Dead Daisies can be entitled as the modern kings and spirit-keepers of good-ole hard-rock. It is really a grace that the rock-warriors – John Corabi – vocals, guitar; Doug Aldrich – guitar; David Lowy – guitar; Marco Mendoza – bass and Brian Tichy (drums) as ex Whitesnake, Dio, Mötley Crue and Thin Lizzy members have united and established as real hard & heavy rock’n rollin’supergroup. After three studio-cd’s it is finally time for a live-capture. The guys love to be permanently on tour worldwide and so here is their live-bullet-proof. Are you ready to spice-up your summer bbq-party by the musical highlight of The Dead Daisies – “Live & Louder”?

“Long Way To Go” is the enchanting opener. You will  be immediately captivated by the glorious live-feeling also at home or whereever you play it; at work or on the highway. The  masters Mendoza on bass and Tichy on drums are absolutely killin’ by their lowtone rhythms. The Lord of the pandemonium Corabi is ever so persuasive by his powerful chant. The axe-duels of wizards Aldrich and Lowy are “Over The Rainbow” by the whole live-show, but very special and unique as highlight on the consecutive “Mexico”.  By the title song of their 3rd cd “Make Some Noise” the Daisies continue the legacy of iconic hymns like “We Will Rock You” and John sings and enthralls like the greatest entertainer and animator of the universe. The crowd loves to agitate as hellacious background-choir. By “Fortunate Son”, “Helter Skelter” and “American Band” three cover-versions have been included also in the live-repertoire and on this cd. You can discuss and argue if this is necessary by a band having so great own songs, but these songs are such a live-delight interpreted in a heavier and modern version than the originals. You will love these to death – haha. Hell Yeah! By “Lock’n Load” the Daisies manifest also their songwriting skills. What a hooky balladesque hymn with a blues and southern-rock hook-up. The whole live song-repertoire is dizzying and concluded by “Midnight Moses”. Every band-rocker is granted a top-notch-spot by a short solo for a final time. The Dead Daisies have played till exhaustion by passion. They have definitely not only fascinated their live-fans, but will also hoodoo you as pure listener. The final countdown falls down and the fat lady sings by thunderous end-fan-applause.

The live-cd was mixed by Anthony Focx (Aerosmith, Bad Company, Metallica, Santana) at Focx Hole Studios and mastered by Howie Weinberg. Hell of a phenomenal sound-loud-blast!

As delicacy The Dead Daisies have added as thank you a dvd featuring:

A documentary as part one featuring a résumé of 2016, band-interviews, special feature on Doug Aldrich, meeting the beloved fans and an outlook to the future.

A tour-recap of their tours worldwide 2016, a special NFL (American Footbal) sequence of their appearance for the Arizona Cardinals and the Kiss sea-cruise as part two. This will be definitely a hot affair specially for all the girlies dreaming of the Daisies and specially Doug and Marco as their private Chippendales for a one night stand capturing some hot, nasty scenes.

Bonus footage on the dvd as final part three is including slideshows of the concerts, band, fans and music-videos of: “Song And A Prayer” / “Join Together” (LIVE) / “Long Way To Go” (Live/Studio) / “Make Some Noise” (Live In Studio). This enforces how The Dead Daisies are specially live magnificent.

A must not only for all Daisies-freaks, but for every lover of hot hard-rock stuff.

Hopefully there will be soon  a live blu-ray (dvd) as the band will on tour for headliner-gigs and appearing at major festivals worldwide in 2017!.
