Singled Out: The Dead Daisies' Long Way To Go
. ![]() Rock supergroup The Dead Daisies released their brand new "Long Way To Go" video today and to celebrate we asked David Lowy and John Corabi to tell us about the song. The track comes from their new album "Make Some Noise" (out Aug 5th). Here are the stories: David Lowy: I was going through my pre-gig routine on my guitar before a show about 12 months ago and this riff just came to me that reminded me of my really good friend Doc Neeson, the front man for the Australian band The Angels, who passed away about one year earlier. I grew up in Australia and The Angels had a really huge influence on me and I was fortunate enough to write, record and perform with Doc in a band called Red Phoenix. John Corabi: Well, David Lowy actually came up with the title "Long Way To Go (and no time to get there)", and I think he was basically jokingly referring to our schedule of getting "Make Some Noise" finished in the allotted amount of time. I thought it was a great title, and when I sat down with Marti (Frederiksen), we just came up with a concept lyrically about the things we see in the news everyday. The "race" issues here in America, all of the things that are going on with Terrorism, and just the political landscape all over the world... So, if you listen to the lyrics it describes all of this, then says..."We've got a LONG WAY TO GO...and NO TIME to get there!!!" In other words, straighten our act together FAST!!!!! Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
