Success in popular music—yesterday and today—is often defined by a simple word: Perseverance. Indeed, it’s an endurance game steeped in paying dues, playing shows in front of minimal crowds over and again, gradually building a name and a sound, and finding an audience. Most successful musicians are lifers, and perhaps no one exemplifies that quite like John Corabi. He's fronted or played in bands ranging from SCREAM to The Union, Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and of course, one of his most enduring and successful projects—the critically acclaimed supergroup, The Dead Daisies.
In 2022, Corabi released his autobiography "Horseshoes & Hand Grenades,” and he is finalizing a solo album for release. In the meantime, at the end of May 2025, The Dead Daisies dropped a terrific new album Lookin’ for Trouble—an homage to some of the greatest blues artists with versions of songs including “Black Betty,” “Little Red Rooster,” “The Thrill is Gone,” “Sweet Home Chicago” and more.
So strap in for a great conversation with the ultimate music road warrior, the great John Corabi, on the latest episode of The Load Out Music Podcast!
