Rig Rundown - The Dead Daisies' Doug Aldrich & Glenn Hughes

The Dead Daisies play classic rock—a catalog of songs practically etched in the granite of popular music history. When we rolled into Nashville’s Mercy Lounge during soundcheck, the band was roaring through the Deep Purple classic “Mistreated,” with Glenn Hughes hitting all the requisite high notes and Doug Aldrich laying down the song’s heavy riff. Drummer Tommy Clufetos and bassist Hughes had the groove in a headlock, and guitarist David Lowy—who leads this musical collective—was grinding out the rhythm.


After the check, we talked to legends Aldrich, of Whitesnake and Dio fame, and Hughes, whose bona fides include Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Black Country Communion, about the gear they’re using to push up Daisies, who have a new album called Holy Ground. So, get ready for gold tops, Marshalls, a killer Nash bass, and a couple stacks of Orange-flavored goodness.

I love Doug's definition of "clean guitar sound"

[philwildcroft]

Haven't even watched this one yet but so happy to have touring Rig Rundowns back.

[thelolguy]

Love Doug. Definitely one of my favourite players. Savage 👏🤘

[jburdsinfuse]

Just a “bit of crunch”….proceeds to melt all faces in the room.

[brandonclark]

Doug is by far the absolute g.o.a.t. of taking us through his rig, axe, and credo.

Doug plays whats needed for the song and no more. He can Flash and Burn with the best but his melodic lines are what hit me in the heart. What a guitar player, a players player.

Doug is such a likable person! No ego, fun mood. Just a great musician and great guy

[jimmyjames]

One man’s clean is another man’s high gain. 😎

[patricksarmientosarmiento]

I've been following Doug since he joined Whitesnake. And now with Revolution Saints. Such a great musician he's in my top 5 best guitarists ever.

[HaXaW]

Doug's tone is Doug. I love the mans playing. Always have since the first time I saw him.
No doubt he could stand on the stage with any other player and hold his own.

I got his sig humbuckers in one of my Les Paul's, and they are fantastic !!

[markplimsoll]

Doug Aldrich, this is the best pedal board explanation; in sequence, each pedal demonstrated, efficient, clear identification of each device and effect. What a great job! Thanks! Gonna check out some Dead Daisies...

[TMoody]

Doug Aldrich is such a balls to the wall player. Such an inspiration.

[seankebely]

Its so great to see the rig rundowns back on stage. Love it

[GearGasms]

So glad to see Rig Rundown back! Hopefully they can shoot a few episodes before everything gets shut down again.

The Dead Daisies is a great band and Doug Aldrich has an amazing sound, those Les Pauls all sound killer. I'm very happy that the rig rundowns are back, along with live shows but i wish this was done a bit better. The guy doing this should watch some John Bohlinger videos about how to do this. I wish Glenn Hughes got more than three minutes. He has a great bass sound both record and live. He is definitely one of the best bass players but i feel like it doesn't get noticed by some because he has such an amazing voice.

[octavioassis]
