The Dead Daisies 2020 - A Whole New Level

The Dead Daisies 2020 - A Whole New Level

(about 2 min. read)

After four insanely creative and Rock 'N Roll fueled years between 2015 and 2019 The Dead Daisies happened to go through a deep change. There is no doubt that everyone who likes Classic Rock or Hard Rock got into touch with their music in the past years and let me tell you that the live shows they delivered throughout the years were more than incredible.

Delivering Classic Hard Rock with an epic modern sound and feel they kept the old musical tradition, but on the top of those roots they built up something so tight, hard, heavy, melodic and meaningful both lyrically and musically that only few exceptional musicians could ever done.

Between those years (2015-2019) they enjoyed the three piece creative force of John Corabi as lead vocalist, Doug Aldrich as lead guitar player and Marco Mendoza as bass player and handling the tasks of backing vocals. This stable force gave the members of the band a solid ground for constant development and going towards the heavier stuffs record by record.

In 2019 big changes happened. John Corabi and Marco Mendoza is no longer in the band's line-up. The news came as a hug surprise that is for sure, but when the world found out that Glenn Hughes joined the band on lead vocals and bass I guess the shock was even bigger in like a very positive way.

Since then the new line-up released two insanely great fresh official music videos, a lyrics video and they had a great work with what they named as Lockdown Sessions. Below you find all the videos being so important right now for The Dead Daisies and definitely do not forget about pre-ordering their brand new record entitled Holy Ground, that is due to be released on January 22 2021.

Taddy Porter band is fire, flame, easiness, grooviness, old and new time sweet Rock 'N Roll at the very same time!

On three records with exactly 35 studio recorded songs between the years of 2010 and 2017, plus an EP titled Monocle at the beginning of the Taddy Porter story back in 2007.

Actually in 2020 THE TADDY PORTER BAND will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album titled Taddy Porter which record has the most awesome cover you ever will see. Let's take a close look at it then get cold chills from their brilliantly played Rock 'N Roller MUSIC of Taddy Porter!

Tracklist:

01 - Whatever Haunts You / 02 - Big Eough / 03 - Shake Me / 04 - Gotta Getcha Back / 05 - Long Slow Drag / 06 - I Gotta Love / 07 - Mean Bitch / 08 - Bringin' Me Down / 09 - In The Morning / 10 - Fire In The Streets / 11 - Railroad Queen / 12 - King Louie

So, what really could be said about a debut album which turns out to be AllPopRock.com's favorite first time release from any bands on Earth. The cover tells about artistic veins, the songs just kick into our brains instantly one after another. If you ever felt Rock 'N Roll in your soul then you should give this album an close listen. I tell you one thing my friend, you will never ever be disappointed with the Taddy Porter Discography. Their music comes deeply from their souls, they kick the sh#&!t out of those old tunes which they recraft and make their very own as only just the best masters are able to do so. The twelve track release gets you song by song and as the final title King Louie builds up you going to say that Taddy Porter is your belief in good ol' Rock 'N Roll again period.

Tracklist:

01 Changes / 02 The Gun / 03 Fever / 04 More, More / 05 Emma Lee / 06 Chemicals / 07 We Can Do Anything / 08 Evil / 09 Walk Away / 10 Stay Golden / 11 You Can Count On Me

When 2013 came Taddy Porter released their second album which showed a completely different, yet same side of the band's music. AllPopRock.com feels musical influences from the '50s through '70s on each and every song which is awesome and awesomely cool. Taddy Porter make their own style by combining such great legends as Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, John Lennon, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks and many more leading to an innovative yet very respectful take a look back to where Rock 'N Roll was in 2013. Sweet Purple Haze and beautifully composed melodies leading to heartbreaking ballads can describe the second half of the album with the ultimate ending track titled You Can Count On Me, and that's for sure, you can count on Taddy Porter when it comes to being totally Rock 'N Roll. A must have release to anyone interested in the best music ever released.

Tracklist:

01 Stone Won't Roll / 02 Devils Right Hand / 03 Momma / 04 Big Wheel / 05 California Bound / 06 Midnight Shakes / 07 Tame the Wolf / 08 Paybacks and Cadillacs / 09 I Don't Mind / 10 Wild Ones / 11 Keep Me Alive / 12 Second Hand Love

Okay, if you get here reading about Taddy Porter's music of excellence, then here comes the real deal my FRIEND. Although Big Wheel did not have a real commercial success YET, it is EVERYTHING that Taddy Porter is and the musical brilliance point they developed as human beings and musicians at the same time is PHENOMENAL, my FRIEND!

BIG WHEEL is a record you Dear Listener wil NOT be able to pause or stop it at all! 

*Editorial Note: 'As a true Rock 'N Roller I personally went crazy for this record, it is so much fun and pleasure to hear those guys playing their best deeply from their hearts.'

The latest, greatest and another must have release from Taddy Porter! Crank it up, turn it up loud with a drink of your choice! Points: 110 out of 10. Cheers!

BRYAN ADAMS ESSENTIALSALBUM REVIEW

Bryan Adams starts the year off with an Essentials album consisting 24 of his greatest and most successful singles. Canadian born superstar with a massive fan base all around the world just announced a tour for the U.S. summer season with co-headliner Bon Jovi. AllPopRock thinks that is quiet a start for a new year thinking of pop, pop-rock genre(s) at its best.

The superhero artist Bryan Adams has been constantly on the road touring all over the world since 2016 including parts of the world like India also. Guess he is still Reckless like the title of his album released in November 1984. That is 35+ years! Congratulate for Bryan Adams on that too. By the way Reckless is AllPopRock's favorite album from Bryan Adams' discography.

The album starts off with a generation defining song about true young love called Summer of '69.

PHIL CAMPBELLOLD LIONS STILL ROAR

Ladies and Gentlemen! Please be aware since this album and the written review here by AllPopRock will going towards a deep and emotional direction.

As we all know Phil Campbell is not just your ordinary guitar player, he was the guitar man besides front man and bassist Lemmy Kilmister along with super talented beach blonde hair drummer Mickey Dee. Anybody who ever had or has something called Rock 'N Roll in their hearts knows that one of the saddest days in ROCK 'N ROLL HISTORY was when Lemmy died. Let there be God's bless on his soul.

The harsh thing is that after all those years the power trio called Motörhead spent together is what is left emotionally for those who knew Lemmy closely and miss him the most.

As I am listening to the Old Lions Still Roar record I feel Phil's deep sadness and sorrow which probably shines hard emotions for him every day.

We have a unbelievable decent guest list of musicians throughout the album different special guest for each and every song. Let's take a look at the list closely!

The album is a mix of deep emotional ballads and hard rocking songs with huge guitars, heart-beating drums and soul touching bass not to mention the perfect vocals on each every song.

It is very hard to write about or describe the emotional part of hearing, listening to the record. Simply amazing, yet so painful feelings with each and every track.

Sound engineers did an awesome work, God bless them for record's awesome sound.

I strongly encourage everyone who have not heard the album to go out or go online and buy a high quality copy, forget those mp3 torrent sites. This so meaningful music deserves much more. 

All of the above use it with caution, I tell you this because The Old Lions do not joke. It has been a long time since I have heard so true, honest and beautifully crafted MUSIC coming from all inside the soul and the heart.

As a listener I would like to emphasize my thankfulness for everyone who  appeared on the record and did unbelievably beautiful musical work. Long Live The Old Lions who still roar! 10/10
