About Doug Aldrich

Doug Aldrich is an American hard rock guitarist. He founded the band Burning Rain with Keith St. John in 1998 and has played with Whitesnake, Dio, Lion, Hurricane, House of Lords, Bad Moon Rising and Revolution Saints. He has also released several solo albums. Doug toured with former Deep Purple bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes' band in 2015. It was announced in early 2016 that he would be replacing Richard Fortus as guitarist of The Dead Daisies. Aldrich's first guitar was a cheap Les Paul-copy purchased from a Sears catalog. When Aldrich was in Lion recording their first album at Scotti Brother's Recording Studio, he was invited to join the Slaughter, but turned down the invite since the Lion project was just taking off. Aldrich joined L.A. glam band Lion in 1983, recording two albums and one EP before the band broke up in 1989.
