The Dead Daisies
“Make Some Noise”
(Spitfire Music/SPV)

For those who want their rock ’n rollers in long, teased hair, leather pants and strip clubs, The Dead Daisies are back with an album of squealing guitars, pounding drums and as many big hooks as a Home Depot.

The ever-evolving Australia-based collective that has included former minor members of such bands as Guns N’ Roses, Ozzy Osbourne and Thin Lizzy has been looking for the sweet spot between hair metal of the 1980s and ’70s classic rock. On their third CD, they’ve found it.

The Daisies offer a sonic wave of arena-ready songs on the 12-song “Make Some Noise” that are strangely familiar even on the first listen. That’s because the members have gleefully riffed on sounds from their musical pasts and left them like clues, like an auditory version of “Pokemon Go” for metal-heads.

Lead vocalist John Corabi (who temporarily led Motley Crue when Vince Neill left in 1992) has a nice growl and guitarists David Lowy (Red Phoenix) and Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio) are constantly revving their instruments, threatening to screech off on their own solos like little kids with a mouthful of Pop Rocks.
