Living Loud

The concept of the project started as an idea of Bob Daisley's more than ten years ago. He and drummer Lee Kerslake often spoke about re-doing some of the songs from the classic rock albums that they had co-written, co-produced and performed on with Randy Rhoads and Ozzy Osbourne many years ago in 1980 and 1981, those albums being 'Blizzard Of Ozz' and 'Diary Of A Madman'. With a desire to record a hard rock project based around those albums plus the infusion of a number of new tracks in the same "mould", Bob, who had worked with Jimmy Barnes earlier in 2003, assembled a superstar line up that recorded in Florida at Greg Rike's studio in July and in London at Air Studios in early August 2003. Bob co-produced the album with producer Darren Schneider (Deep Purple, Matchbox 20, Creed) and the project has created some of the most inspirational new rock tunes to be recorded in many years. The album took 15 days to record and was mixed and mastered at Metropolis studios in Melbourne, Australia from 29th of September to the 3rd of October, 2003.
In 2004 Living Loud performed 2 live shows, Melbourne Metro Sun 25th April and Sydney Stage 11 Fox Studios Mon 26th April, The Sydney show was recorded for a Live CD and DVD.
