With an inherited billion-dollar fortune up his sleeve, Australian businessman David Lowy (who runs shopping centres in the UK, the US and his homeland, among other places) remembered his old love, hard rock, in 2012. In his younger days, the rhythm guitarist had already made it into English clubs with his band Mink, but The Dead Daisies were then to attack a few levels higher for the then fiftysomething. For the five albums and hundreds of concerts to date, Lowy enlisted top-class musicians such as Richard Fortus (guitar) and Dizzy Reed (keyboards) from Guns N' Roses, experienced drummers such as Brian Tichy (Whitesnake), buzzing bassists such as Marco Mendoza and vocalists such as John Corabi (Mötley Crüe).
