TO WATCH THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW


Over a decade ago, The Dead Daisies burst onto the music scene. Their mission, to create some good old fashioned 70’s style rock, gather some of the finest musicians in the world, and have a great time keeping rock music alive.

As a powerhouse hard rock band celebrated for their soulful, blues-infused sound and dazzling performances they have consistently pushed the limits of rock music and remain dedicated to substance over style, driven by an unwavering work ethic and a relentless passion for their craft. The Dead Daisies released their latest single “Love That’ll Never Be” today.
The song came together while the band was working on songs for what became their latest album “Light ‘Em Up”. John and Marti Frederiksen had started working on the track with a future Corabi solo record in mind but decided to throw it into the mix for the band to consider. Everyone really liked it and after a few elements were trimmed off and Doug toughened up some of the guitar parts, they all really loved how it came out!! 
Lead singer John Corabi states …“Love That’ll Never Be” is a bluesy 70’s Rock ballad reminiscent of The Allman Brothers about a girl who thought the grass was greener until she realises that what she wanted....she already had!!! Now, it’s too late to get it back...” It’s a timely reminder to be happy with what you have and to love the one you’re with!!John, Doug, David, Michael and Tommy head out in March to Europe to play cities not previously visited in 2024! 
Stay tuned for more dates to be announced and look out for the release of their upcoming blues album, “Lookin’ For Trouble”. The Dead Daisies are pushing forward, generating energy and taking chances to ensure that every person who experiences them has no doubt that Rock is Indeed Alive & Well.

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

BY

JOHN CORABI

 with Paul Miles

In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, John Corabi recounts his life from the mean streets of Philadelphia to the Sunset Strip. Take a look behind the scenes at Corabi’s time fronting Mötley Crüe, Union, and The Dead Daisies, as well as his time playing rhythm guitar with Ratt and even his stint as a long-haul trucker. Whether it’s detailing his parents difficult divorce, his family’s dark history of abuse, his run-in with a serial killer, or simply the best way to arrive at a wedding—which maybe is by helicopter and maybe it isn’t—he pulls no punches and outlines the good and bad of it all in this raucous autobiography.

THE ROCK STAR CHRONICLES

BOOK TRAILER

 

BOOK REVIEW

-By Literary Titan (5) STARS

The Rock Star Chronicles by Ray Shasho, is a splendid book written by a music enthusiast who has poured their heart and soul into it. It’s a story of a boy who loved rock music, and his obsessive passion of it earned himself the name Rock Raymond. He went to school but instead was schooled in all matters of music while his peers were buried chin-deep in coursework. He then became a radio DJ and has now compiled a book on all interviews he held with Rock gods who raided the airwaves back in the 70s and 80s. It’s a compilation of interviews with outstanding vocalists, legendary guitarists and crazy drummers in the rock music scene. Each interview gives a reader an in-depth view into their personal lives and the philosophies that guide their lives which all serve to humanize these great icons. For readers who are old enough to call themselves baby boomers this book will bring old memories back to life. Millennials, on the other hand, may think of this book as a literal work of the Carpool Karaoke show. 

The Rock Star Chronicles is a book I didn’t know I was waiting for. To come across a book that will talk me into trying something new. One brave enough to incite me to venture into new frontiers. This book made me a believer- I am now a bona fide Rock and Roll music fan. 

Ray Shasho masterfully gets the interviewees talking. He smartly coaxes answers from them with crafty questions designed to get a story rolling out of them. The artists talk about diverse issues ranging from music, politics, and their social engagements. Having been on the music seen all his life, Ray Shasho knows the buttons to press, how to get them comfortable about talking about their lives. 

The book’s cover is befitting of its subject matter with the leather look offering a royal background to the golden letter print. It speaks to how high a level rock music holds in the pecking order- arguably, modern music as we know it has originated from blues and rock music.  The second noteworthy thing is the use of high-definition pictures to reference the musician being interviewed in every sub-chapter. This ensures that the book is for both original rock and roll lovers and aspiring new ones. Together is makes for a refreshing and consistently enjoyable read.

I recommend this book to rock music enthusiasts, aspiring musicians wondering what it takes and all readers curious to learn new things by going back in time.

 Patrick Simmons Interview

THE LOST INTERVIEWS EP 16

Interviewed Tuesday, November 15, 2011

The Doobie Brothers 

I had the opportunity to interview

The Doobie Brothers legendary guitarist, singer, and songwriter Patrick Simmons a few days before the 2011 Orlando Calling festival.

Pat Simmons was introduced to future Doobie Brothers bandmates Tom Johnston and John Hartman by Moby Grape’s Skip Spence in 1969 forming the foundation to what would eventually be one of the most esteemed classic rock bands in history. 
Pat is usually identified as the Doobie Brother with the longest hair. His heartfelt vocal styles are significant to the band’s success. He’s an important musician with eclectic musical styles and tastes. Some of his many compositions with the band include the classic “Black Water” (which became their first number one hit) “South City Midnight Lady,” “Dependin’ On You,” “Dangerous,” “Echoes Of Love” and “Clear as the Driven Snow.”
His on-stage presence is both surreal and overwhelming during his solo of “Jesus Is Just Alright.”Here’s my interview with singer, songwriter, guitar virtuoso, and founding member of The Doobie Brothers … Patrick Simmons
