Ep. 119 - Doug Aldrich of Whitesnake, The Dead Daisies!

[@jimmykonsta]

Doug is a monster player. Nobody in the world can play like him. Unique style, monstrous technique and massive tone! And so humble!

[@Jared_Dill]

I couldn't agree Any more, man, well said!! I love Doug He's my favorite of all time.

[@RagdollOC]

Doug seems like a cool guy. I have always loved his playing.

[@MitchGift]

Hey Doug, Greg Mitchell here from back in the day. Congratulations on all your success. John Suhr is such a smart man, I can't say enough about that. Dave Friedman, you've made all this possible by deep diving into this subject matter. Great show, great guests. Hi Mark. Tell Jake hello for me.

[@johnkatsoudas3544]

After Vivian Campbell , Doug Aldrich is my favorite Dio guitar player. I saw him on the Killing The Dragon tour 20 years ago with Scorpions and Deep Purple, and he was amazing. Doug also did a phenomenal job in Whitesnake. He also looks the same as he did 20 years ago.

[@themindwasntbuilttobendthi833]

I met Doug when he first hit L.A. and formed Lion with, what I consider the best vocalist of rock, Kal Swann. He was a super cool guy then and hasn't changed at all. Super nice and accommodating to fans as well as anybody he comes into contact with. So happy for his continued success and wish him a long and prosperous career.

[@19581998]

I think I requested twice you have him as a guest. Thanks so much! What a nice guy.

[@joeywilder9708]

Love Doug’s playing! Such an awesome and inspirational guitar player!

[@peterjepps1229]

Doug's a very cool player. Thanks for taking the time out of the tour Cheers guys.

[@nickh1933]

Doug is awesome, I saw him and Reb with Whitesnake and it was incredible. I always thought he would have been an awesome fit for Ozzy. Everything he has done has been super cool, great tone and unique playing.

[@geruto17760]

Just seen Doug on stage. Great performance. His is the torchbearer of classic rock and metal. It is good to have a young chap following in the footsteps of the old rockers to keep rock alive.

[@JackMcLeodJr]

Doug's live performances with Dio and the 'Evil or Divine' show aswel as the 'Live In The Still of the Night 2004' with Whitesnake have been hugely influential for myself. A hell of a guy and guitarist, cheers for the upload Gents.

[@HunterRouth]

The epitome of guitar playing in so many ways.

[@guitarzan2201]

Yes! Fantastic episode! Doug is a fantastic player and instructor as well. I love his band Dead Daisies and Glenn Hughes...Wow!

[@seanhood599]

What a great guy. Awesome episode, thank you, Doug, Marc, and Dave. Doug’s inclination for having a part 2 is definitely a good idea.

[@timfincannon7743]

Really great guitarist!!!!

[@RozsaAmplificationLLC]

Thanks guys and Doug for answering my questions, which i see he was really into it and answering it!! :) @ 40:05 in to 48:12!!! :O Holy crap, wasn't expecting 8 minutes on one question!! lol Thanks again.

[@TVoltG]

Doug is always a class act.

[@Juaniguitarra86]

Doug is such a nice guy and a fantastic player. Super humble, good stuff!

[@firewalker6712]

I agree with David. The sound men complaining about guitar volume being to loud is nonsense! When I used play out back in the early 90's through the early 2000's. The sound gut would mic our half stacks all the time. Think how loud the pa system was that you were micing a half stack. It was never loud enough back in the day.

[@Scott__C]

And we all have the tinnitus to show for it.

[@Scott__C]

​@TheBoss0Time It's sounds funny until you have it.

[@dougiemanross]

Doug is such a beast. Great tone, great playing (great name 😎). I watched that Holy Diver concert DVD he did with Dio a ton when I was a kid and his sound was imprinted in my brain as the best Marshall sound I’ve ever heard. Super aggressive and I dig that a ton!

[@szabowabo91]

Damn it!! I missed seeing this live! I mentioned having him on in comments on past videos. I’m sure many others did, too. I met Doug at NAMM…a genuinely nice guy and absolute monster player. One of my faves.

[@michaelgarrettweber438]

Doug is a "down to earth" great player and Dave is an "Amazing Designer" another Great Show Marc \../

[@tonictonetomrockstar1931]

those two albums with Doug were awesome!

[@plexidust5101]

Super Stunner , Doug shouts out " The Shed" From Rainbow, The " Allan Holdsworth" Duncan Pickup and is a Lover of Suhr and Friedman ! I already Loved his work and he goes next level for me. Thanks All ! I Love The Tone Talks, I'm a Junkie Too !

[@I-am-326]

Doug has not aged ! Phenomenonal guitar player, also a very humble guy it seems. First time commenting for me, I stumbled on your channel about a month ago when I watched the Rex Brown interview - I've been watching though a good handful of interviews since. Keep up the great work ! From Ricky, in the UK.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Doug is a great guitar player and sounds like a really nice guy. 🤘♥️🤘

[@kxmrock]

Doug Aldrich is AWESOME

[@klauth_Yksyn]

Great job guys, Thank you... for THIS one 👍

[@SteveKaynan]

Fantastic interview with Doug thanks for sharing!!

[@esigetic]

100% agree with Doug lol, Good to be Bad is a great album. Straight up monster rock album!

[@joeywilder9708]

Dave just gotta tell you you knocked it put of the freaking park with your two notes cabs! Just got the captor x and yours and the big hairy guitars cabs are by far my favorites available. Sounds so huge and sweet. Y’all did a great job on those. It’s crazy how much every Friedman product never fails to blow me away!

[@loutielli]

Great guy and a monster player!

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Finally catching up on this one! Hope you guys had a great weekend!

[@robertprice5039]

Les Paul's with wrap around tailpieces rock. I have a PRS SE Bernie Marsden with the wrap around, and I like it better that most Les Pauls, that I have played.

[@youvsyou945]

Red Seven coming...awesome....very curious about their Multi-Stereo Line mixer....Dave, seems like a perfect solution for a classic style rack....I may retire my Switchblade for one.

[@Burkhimself]

I actually thought his pickups were compressed in my LP….wild

[@youvsyou945]

Yes he did the Transformers the Movie theme when he was in Lion....and yes, very cool:)

[@micoklokoc654]

Good stuff,

[@JoeHasGas]

I'm here great show ty.. I'd like 2 see Jim Root on..

[@tone-talk]

Great contact him and tell him to email me.

[@BrandonBames]

Dave, if you like broken sounds, check out the Electro Harmonix Ripped Speaker fuzz. It's like You Really Got Me and I Can't Get No Satisfaction in a box.

[@nightdaemon100]

ECHT CHEF 🎵🎶🎵🎸🎸🎤🎼😎

[@stevenbryan7586]

This episode is a lot like a Marshall on 10. You got to ride the volume knob.

[@itkojecockot]

Whitesnake, The Dead Daisies AND Lion

[@themindwasntbuilttobendthi833]

Also he formed another band with Kal, the singer in Lion, called Bad Moon Rising. It was a short lived project but rocked hard and has some of his best writing I feel.

[@blackmoresrainbowproject8809]

Those 2 guys are brothers I recon. One is younger and talkative and the other is a backup salesman guy. Doug, you can come and go taking a leak in breaks, but what the hell having you is fantastic. Play them something because you talk with your guitar :-)

[@tone-talk]

What?

[@steveburchfield5576]

DOES MARC HAVE SOME BLINKING DEVIL HORNS? THEY LOOK GREAT WITH AC/DC SHIRTS!!!! 666 666 666

[@tonictonetomrockstar1931]

I have emailed Dave and he answered me direct, that's not something you get anymore.
