REVOLUTION SAINTS Guitarist Doug Aldrich On Leaving WHITESNAKE – “I Didn’t Feel Like We Were On The Same Page”

Revolution Saints and Burning Rain guitarist Doug Aldrich joins Mitch Lafon in this episode of One On One With Mitch Lafon to discuss his great new band Revolution Saints which includes Night Ranger’s Jack Blades and Journey’s Deen Castronovo.

Doug talks about how the band and album came together, his time with Lion, Dio, Hurricane and Whitesnake, and working for the Raiding The Rock Vault show in Las Vegas. He also discusses the recent ‘Twitter War’ with Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider and explains that David Coverdale and he “weren’t on the same page” as one of the reasons he needed to depart Whitesnake.

Revolution Saints – drummer and vocalist Deen Castronovo (Journey, Bad English), bassist Jack Blades (Night Ranger, Damn Yankees) and guitarist Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio) – will release their self-titled debut album  in North America on February 24th via Frontiers Music SRL.

Watch the group’s new video for the album track “Here Forever”:

You can tell by the name – and the names involved – that Revolution Saints isn’t your average rock ‘n roll band. The new album brings back the classic melodic rock style to where it should be: inspiring, uplifting vocals, soaring melodies and musicianship to die for. It’s completely badass.

The project is the vision of Frontiers’ President Serafino Perugino, who for years had hoped to work on a project where Deen would be the lead vocalist. Having previously worked with all three artists on different projects on Frontiers, having Deen, Jack and Doug on board together was a dream come true for Perugino.

With production overseen by in-house Frontiers man, Alessandro Del Vecchio (who also contributed to the songwriting and played keyboards on the album), the recording process took place in Portland, Oregon during the summer of 2014.
