And so it goes. The Corabi era was my favorite, so I’m glad he’s back and we can now get more GH and DP stuff.
Not often we agree to disagree... my take is, this is by far the most lackluster project he's been involved with the past few years. Don't get me wrong, there are moments of brilliance, but overall, it's all very underwhelming... IMHO
Oh and not to mention, why the hell are they having GH do cover songs in the live set - why did they hire him... for his songwriting and to help them get to the next level - they seem not to have much ambition and happy to remain where they are.

My take also. I’ve played Holy Ground and Radiance a lot, I tend to listen while working since the pandemic era started rather than the car. I play them then pretty much forget about them after. The new Winery Dogs is similar, competent, but not thought of much after. The best Daisies album was Make Some Noise. Thankfully the new album had no covers, can’t see why you have all this talent in the band either then have to have covers on albums and shows. Pointless.
Need to play Holy Ground again. Have been spinning Radiance a few times. If this is it for this lineup I would like to see Corabi back in the band with Marco. Make Some Noise is my favorite DD album.
So it seems like it got delayed like a lot of other things. When is the album coming out? Searched on this on google last week and found nothing.
To me it’s a step back. I like it when Glenn has control and comes out with his own material. The song and his vocal delivery could come off the last Voodoo Hill album. It’s an ok song but not very inspiring to me.
I just pulled out Revolucion and Burn it Down haven’t played them in awhile . Make Some Noise was the best- that one I play all the time in the gym.The band had a great brand going with Corabi- I like his voice a lot - it has a lot of character like Steven Tyler. No, not at the GH/Dio level. Love the Daisies so this will be an interesting change.
It’s gotta be better than the last one. I couldn’t make any sense of it at all, can’t even listen to it. The first three are brilliant!
According to KK’s book Dave left, he was fed up.
That's a huge bummer From Now On isn't in the group as it's one of the best.
Cranked some Private Eyes last night, crying driving home listening to Hello Again. We miss Tommy so much!
I've given this one a rest for three years but I just put this back on my iPod ( WAV files - no MP3 crap for me) . I think when this came out it was way too soon after the incredible second album and too much negativity going on with BCC at the time. Ruined it for me , didn't like it, as well as Shirley's horrible production , which is still awful. But with fresh ears I now love it!!! This absolutely made a late night first leg of a 300 mile desert trip home last night fabulous ! Really dig it now ! So glad I gave it another chance , Afterglow is really stellar. Still don't like the production , the album would be the equal of the first two if it was mixed and had the same sound as those.
Ha Lioness, a very peaceful place , no ghosts interrupted my sleep or anything and no bad vibes. I swear it's the most quietest place on earth , beautiful and good food , drink and service. Only two other guests there night I was there. Blackmore is my favorite musician so sleeping in his room was thrilling ! I imagine it's like Doors fans that make their way to room 32 at the Alta Cienega motel in Hollywood- Jim Morrison's room.
Awesome ! I made it to both German shows as well as staying at Ritchie's beloved Schloss Eggersberg and was given the Blackmore suite when I told them why I was there. Enjoyed it a lot ! Just calculated today I ended up 13 rows away from Ritchie the first night ! Ronnie is a real find !
Sad to have missed it due to being booked! Already turning down gigs for Sept 3 !
Great news and let's hope the new album has full involvement and good production, the lack of ruined the third album. The second album was the top in all these aspects.
I grew up with Keith Emerson as one of my keyboard heroes . Devastated and I feel like I lost a friend. He knows the drummer in one of my bands and he and Mari were at our gig almost the whole night -in Jan with me on keys. He was very generous with his stories and compliments and taking pics with us- wonderful guy. I've been havin a lot of trouble with this the past few days. Just horrible. The other Rock star deaths are all awful but this one is very personal. I'm just not doing well with this. We played our usual gig nearby his home yesterday and I had a hard time getting through our first set.
Just got it and only had time for a few songs - really terrific stuff here. JJ is leagues ahead of his playing ten and 17 years ago , really has made gigantic leaps.
Doug out yes. Good for us at Yamaha though as Soren is one of our artists . From DOUG yesterday on FB:
QuoteDisplay MoreHi guys, I guess by now a lot of people have read todays press statement from my brother Glenn Hughes about the March dates being rescheduled due to his knee replacement recovery.
First I want to wish Glenn GodSpeed to full-power as we all want him 100% in dance mode when he returns. I know Glenn is pretty bummed and we all need to support him now.
Unfortunately, the rescheduled dates mean I won’t be able to do the US with Glenn as planned. We had both agreed that after March Glenn would return to his previous solo band with my full blessing.
I think with Glenn deservedly getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, it’s actually perfect that the focus of Glenn’s live shows should be on Glenn, without my name on the bill.
Thank you very much to all of Glenn's fans that graciously supported me during the last 7 months. It was a f@cking blast to go onstage as the trio I liked to call HughesForceOne. Playing with Glenn and Pontus was some of the funnest moments I’ve ever had on stage. My only regret is that the US fans wont get to see how fierce it was with the chemistry of the three of us. Playing live we would stay within the structure of the song but we had some stellar jams! It was a nice chemistry.
I’m sorry to all my friends that made arrangements to come see me with Glenn. I know some of you went to great lengths to come see the show and I would like to ask you to go in August to support Glenn. His talent is from another planet!! Go see him if you can, you wont regret it.
So, at the moment I'm held up in Nashville working with The Dead Daisies on their 3rd record and we are doing great work here. Marti Frederiksen is producing. Its gonna be something pretty mind-blowing I promise.
At the end of the Feb Ill be in LA finally finishing my Burning Rain Band writing sessions, and will most likely recording in March since I'll be home. There is a possibility that maybe I can do a few shows at some of the west coast clubs that I was going to be at with Glenn but we are still checking on that. Brian Tichy Official and I talked about putting a trio together and throwing down as a tribute to Glenn.
In late March or early April , I’m looking forward to returning to the Raiding The Rock Vault show at The Tropicana in Las Vegas. We are finalizing those dates now and I can’t wait!
The Dead Daisies will be the feature band at Musikmesse in Frankfurt Germany this April 7-10 so if you are in Europe come out as it will be my first shows with them.
Looking forward to seeing you all down the road sooner or later.
Just got an email Whiskey is postponed till Sept. 3 Saturday.
