(Gibson) Former Van Halen and current Chickenfoot frontman Sammy Hagar has been making the rounds to promote his new autobiography, Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock. But the singer [once again] made an unlikely confession when being interviewed by MTV.
During the interview, posted on MTVHive.com, Hagar began discussing dreams that he had about aliens. When the interviewer jokingly asked if the rocker thought he'd been abducted by alien beings, he responded "I think I have."
Although the incident is described as a dream in the book, Hagar said that it actually happened to him. "It was real," Hagar said. "They were plugged into me. It was a download situation ... Or, they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment."
[This isn't the first time that Sammy has brought up his alien experience; here are some videos from a couple years ago where he talks about it in greater detail.
(Rock AAA) Dream Theater's John Petrucci is excited about the new album, new drummer and up and coming World Tour, but frustrated that their hands are tied in being able to let fans in on the news. In an announcement Petrucci said:
"As for the new Dream Theater album, it is going incredibly well and I can't wait for everyone to hear it! We are in the tracking process and working hard as well as just having so much fun.
"I appreciate everyone's patience regarding the announcement (or lack thereof!) of Dream Theater's new drummer. I know it has been very frustrating to have to wait for the news. Believe me, we are bursting at the seams to tell everyone and rest assured that our decision will not disappoint on any level!"
(Rock News Desk) Travis Barker says he gets on better with hip-hop artists than he does with rock musicians and he finds he can do more with the rap genre than he can with Blink-182.
The drummer is tired of being judged by "nazi bastards" who feel he shouldn't be working with rap stars like Lil Wayne, Drake and Eminem. He tells Complex.com: "It seems like I have more in common, or hit it off better, with rappers than fools in rock music.
"I got people who were mad when I played the Grammys with Wayne, Drake and Eminem. It's one of the biggest highlights of my life but they're like, 'Stop playing this rap sh*t,'" he said. "F**k you, man. Open up your eyes and ears, you nazi bastards. Don't be so close-minded. Since I was a kid I listened to all types of music and no one judged me for it. If they did I told them to go f**k themselves."
(Gibson) Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has announced he will release a new album featuring tunes played on a ukulele. The Pearl Jam frontman will release Ukulele Songs on May 31 in the U.S.
The album will include guest spots from Cat Power's Chan Marshall and Frames and Swell Season singer Glen Hansard. It will also feature a ukulele version of the Pearl Jam song "Can't Keep." The first single, "Longing to Belong," is available now via digital retailers.
That's not the only new release from Vedder, though. A live concert DVD, titled Water on the Road, is due out the same day. The film captures the singer performing in Washington, D.C., in 2008, promoting his soundtrack for Into the Wild. The set list includes his cover of Bob Dylan's "Girl From the North Country" along with some Pearl Jam deep cuts, such as "Driftin'" and "Around the Bend."
(hennemusic) Jason Bonham has some juggling to do this year: between his commitments with Black Country Communion and touring with Paul Rodgers, the drummer is also taking his Led Zeppelin Experience back out on the road.
Bonham will tour the UK with Rodgers in April, the US with the Led Zeppelin Experience in May, and then hit the US with Black Country Communion in June.
A new series of North American dates for Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience has been announced, with shows kicking off May 4 in Connecticut.
(Speak Easy) A Perfect Circle have announced their first North America tour in six years.

(Gibson) Mumford & Sons are prepping the follow-up to their award-winning debut, Sigh No More. Speaking with XFM, multi-instrumentalist Ted Dwane disclosed that the group had recently taken some time in Music City to do some songwriting.
"We were in Nashville, just before we did the Grammys and the Brits, just holed up in a farm house for seven days just writing," he said. "Just the four of us, and it was the most incredibly fruitful time."
Dwane says playing tracks for their fans is an essential part of the songwriting process. "We really love the idea of involving our audiences in some way. That's how we did Sigh No More. We did it live, the songs were played in front of crowds, they evolved in front of an audience. We're quite intent on doing that again for the second album. It feels like a logical way to work out what you want to record."
(Rock News Desk) Sammy Hagar insists his warts-and-all biography, which includes detailed stories about his time with Van Halen, is actually doing the band a favor. The singer says their current studio sessions are not going well but if what he's written angers them enough to focus on creating music, all will be well.
Hagar has completed two stints fronting the band and recently revealed how he tried to quit during his last outing, but was thwarted by contract clauses. Original singer David Lee Roth is working with Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang Van Halen on a new album, but Hagar understands there's a great deal of tension surrounding the project.
"It's not going so good. That's what I've heard through the grapevine, that they've already fired one producer, and Eddie and Dave can't be in the same room together. If they can't be in the same room how can they make a record?," Hagar tells MTV Hive. "I think I'm doing them a favour with my book. It may put a fire under their asses to swallow some pride and make another record for the fans."
(Gibson) Nick Mason has high hopes for a Pink Floyd reunion, even though he said the prospect is "unlikely." Talking to BBC 6 Music, Mason ruled out a full-blown tour featuring Roger Waters, David Gilmour and himself, but suggested a special event could happen.
"No one has said we will never work [together] again," the drummer said. "I think it is very unlikely we are going to go out on tour. I think Roger's really happy working on his own now ... It's hard to see Dave thinking he'd really like to work full-time with Roger.
"On the other hand I live in hope we would absolutely do another Live 8 or play together for the right reasons."
(Gibson) Glenn Hughes will chronicle his lost years in a book called Deep Purple and Beyond: Scenes From the Life of a Rock Star.
In an interview with Mitch Lafon of Bravewords.com, Hughes said he stopped using drugs and alcohol because ultimately it wasn't fun anymore. "I was too tired of being sick and tired," he said. "At some point, every alcoholic and drug addict [in their disease] will have that moment. Some don't get that moment."
Hughes said that in the '80s he wasn't the man he is today. "We've all seen the glory and promises that can happen to someone who has kicked a life long habit of drugs and alcohol and worked rigorously hard to get to where I am today," Hughes said.
(Chipster) Niji Entertainment will celebrate this year's Record Store Day by issuing a very special, Limited Edition, Deluxe Numbered Picture Disc LP of Dio's 2002 release, 'Killing the Dragon,' of which only 2,500 copies will be made.

(hennemusic) Another new video by The Cars has surfaced. "Sad Song" is set to be the first single from "Move Like This," which is due for release on May 10.
A short 'teaser' clip of the track was initially posted by the band in early December, as The Cars worked on building interest and anticipation for their first album in 24 years.
"Move Like This" was recorded last year in Los Angeles and upstate New York by the entire surviving band: Ric Ocasek, drummer David Robinson, guitarist Elliot Easton and keyboard player Greg Hawkes. Gareth "Jacknife" Lee, who has worked with U2 and R.E.M., produced five tracks; the band did the rest.

Eagle Records have announced an April 19th release date for Boogie 4 Stu, a tribute to pianist Ian Stewart.
Stewart was a founding member of the Rolling Stones who went on to serve as their long-term road manager, this album will be released near the 25th anniversary of his passing. Sales from Boogie 4 Stu will benefit the British Heart Foundation.
Boogie 4 Stu, mixed by Glynn Johns, was created and produced by fellow pianist Ben Waters, a member The A, B, C & D of Boogie Woogie, which also features Charlie Watts. Initially planned by Waters as a solo album, Boogie 4 Stu soon took on a life of its own. The album highlight for many will be the version of Bob Dylan's song "Watchin' The River Flow," which features Mick Jagger on vocals & harmonica, Keith Richards on guitar, Charlie Watts on drums, Ronnie Wood on guitar and Bill Wyman on bass. Although all musicians recorded their respective tracks at different times and locations, this song marks the first time Wyman has recorded with his colleagues since 1992. PJ Harvey, who happens to be Waters' cousin, also contributes to the album, as well as Jools Holland, whose studio the CD was recorded in. The album finishes with the Sam Cooke track "Bring It On Home," performed by Ian Stewart with Rocket 88 at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Concert For George, the tribute concert in honor of George Harrison, is being released for the first time ever on Blu-ray today, March 22.

Skeletonwitch have announced a lineup change. They have recruited Tony Laureano to replace Derrick "Mullet Chad" Nau. Laureano will be the drummer for their upcoming spring dates and to play on their upcoming as-yet-untitled new album, due out this fall.
Laureano, who's played for acts such as 1349, Nile, Dimmu Borgir and more, will be replacing the recently departed, Derrick "Mullet Chad" Nau, who is returning to art school and further pursuing his art career.
Guitarist Scott Hedrick commented on the addition of Laureano and departure of Nau: "Our good friend Tony will be playing drums on our April tour, new album, and for the foreseeable future. We're f**king stoked to have a drummer of his caliber and experience on board. He's a beast behind the kit and a great f**king guy as well. You can't ask for more than that!"
Today Johanna Lesonen from Dotma from tells us about "Whispering" from their brand new album debut "Sleep Paralyses," which hits stores today and scored a stellar review from our sister site Thrashpit! Here is the story:
I picked up the song Whispering which tells about a girl whose mind gets sick. Human mind, dreams and hard emotions are the main actors on this album. Of course as a lyricist I deal partly my own emotions in the songs, but here in this song I have mixed a true story and a horror story together.
So this girl feels insecure especially in the night time when it's dark. Her mind starts to play tricks, so she escapes from the reality and recreates her own imaginary world. This is what human mind is able to do when undergoing a trauma. Here in the song I'm not telling she's having a trauma, it's something that the listener can figure oneself. So now the girl is in her own world. This picture is from my dream: "Flowers falling from the clouds, shining snow on the path, I'm sitting under the tree of silence". This tree is whispering something to the girl Something that makes her smile again, something that has made her the perfect piece of this wonderland. The whispering goes like this: "Go to the woods, walk the snowy path, gather all the red flowers, be aware of the crows! The fear will end by the dawn, when the last tulip falls to the ground, when the snow has turned into dust!" This is some kind of mantra to the girl.
One night she is again with her fears and then it happens. The mantra takes over her. The musical drama has been grown to this point, and then comes the dramatic quiet part: "I will go to the woods, I will end this now, I don't want to be afraid anymore:" This is a fateful scene because after this the girl ends her days. There is a lot of symbolism in this song, especially the tulips that represent blood here. Why are the tulips still in the girls hands in the end of the song which goes: "In the twilight you can see a wavering silhouette of a girl. She has red tulips in her hands, and she is not afraid anymore." Has she become something evil her self? In the background choir there are these lines "Don't follow her, don't even look at her, there will be blood"
Now that I woke your interest, go to www.myspace.com/dotma and listen the song. You get more from it if you listen it alone in the night time when it's dark.
On this day in 1980, Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)' started a four-week run at no 1 on the U.S. singles chart. It also reached the top spot in the UK. Gibson takes a look back: Following Pink Floyd's 1977 In the Flesh tour, Waters began working on material that dealt with abandonment and isolation partially inspired by uncaring concertgoers and his own personal history. The bassist and songwriter's desire to build a wall between him and the audience was channeled into Floyd's 1979 album, The Wall, a dark rock opera that marked a departure from the band's recent albums (certainly in structure, if not in tone).
In working on the album, Waters decided to create three parts of a song that would become "Another Brick in the Wall." Sharing the basic melody and refrain, the three parts came at different points in the story, all bringing the main character (named Pink) to isolate himself from other people. Originally, all three parts were meant to be relatively brief, with one verse and one chorus each. Parts 1 (about the death of his father) and 3 (about drugs and the end of a relationship) kept to that idea, but Part 2 ended up a little different. The middle composition, dealing with an imaginary children's revolt against abusive schoolmasters, grew in stature during the recording process.
The credit for this goes to Bob Ezrin, a producer who had worked with Alice Cooper, KISS and Peter Gabriel and was brought in to helm The Wall sessions. Upon hearing the rough version of "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)," Ezrin recognized that the song had the potential to be a hit. His suggestion was met with harsh resistance from Waters and the band.
(Gibson) In a new interview with The Quietus, Duran Duran replied to producer Mark Ronson's recent comment about other bands "moving onto their ground." When asked which specific bands the '80s wild boys thought "wouldn't be doing what they're doing if it wasn't for Duran Duran," Simon LeBon called out some of the biggest acts of the past decade.
"The Killers. Bloc Party. Franz Ferdinand," the singer said. "The one that sounds the most like Duran Duran is a song by Reverend and The Makers called 'Heavyweight Champion of the World.' I really thought it was us!"
Drummer Roger Taylor continued the thought: "The Bravery. That's the one where I thought, 'Wow, that's a bit close ' And Reverend and The Makers, like Simon said. Actually The Dandy Warhols [who would later be produced by Nick Rhodes], first time I saw them on Top of the Pops I thought, 'Wow, very Duran-ish.'"
(hennemusic) We may have just seen the brightest moon in 18 years, but Journey has an Eclipse on the horizon.
The band's "Eclipse" disc is set for release in the US and Canada on May 24th, exclusively at Walmart, and beginning June 3rd in Europe on Frontiers Records.
The 12 tracks were written over the past 18 months by the core team of guitarist Neal Schon and keyboard player Jonathan Cain, with collaboration from singer Arnel Pineda.
(Rock News Desk) Bob Geldof says the music industry can't survive by relying on TV gameshows, moulded pop stars and fashionable festivals, but rock can save the day if it can find it teeth again.
Speaking at the South by South West festival in Austin, Texas, the former Boomtown Rat calls on musicians to remember: "Rock'n'roll needs to be against something. It can't just be."
Geldof feels modern technology is nothing more than a distraction from the real issues. "This hyper democracy of the web simply gives the illusion of talent," he says. "Everybody has got the means to say anything they want but nobody has anything to say. Can you imagine the 1960s without the bands interpreting the fast-moving agenda of the times? Where are our Ramones and Sex Pistols of today? Do we need them? 'Yes' is the answer. Will they be found? Probably not.
(Gibson) If you were one of the millions of viewers who have watched Matt Damon's sci-fi thriller, The Adjustment Bureau, during the past two weeks, you may have wondered where that massive, string-laden track during the end credits came from. The voice is instantly recognizable '90s Britpop icon Richard Ashcroft. But the track itself "Are You Ready?" turned out to be a launching pad for further incidental music for the film.
"It was another thing that turned up out of the blue really," Ashcroft told Spinner. "It came out of the director, George Nolfi, hearing "Are You Ready?" and wanting to use it as the outro of the film. Then he suggested we do something together for the start of the film."
And so, Oscar-nominated composer Thomas Newman (The Shawshank Redemption, Road to Perdition, WALL-E) hopped a flight to London to collaborate with Ashcroft. The result was the synthy rocker, "Future's Bright."
(Gibson) Joseph "Pinetop" Perkins, the blues pianist whose eight-decade career included recordings with Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, B.B. King and others, passed away yesterday at his home in Austin, Texas, of an apparent heart attack. He was 97.
Perkins' hard, lively playing was made famous on his cover of "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie," recorded at Sun Records in 1953. He replaced Otis Spann in Muddy Waters' band in 1969 and helped influence the sound of Waters' later recordings. After Waters died, Perkins formed the Legendary Blues Band with other members of Waters' band, garnering several Grammy nominations.
He continued to record until his death, winning a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album just last month for his work with Willie "Big Eyes" Smith on Joined at the Hip, making him the oldest Grammy winner in history.
(Glass Onyon) A rare recording of jazz trio Alien live in Antibes, France in 1983 has been released on CD. Part of Seventh Records AKT collection (AKT XVI), Alien features Magma's Christian Vander on drums Michel Graillier on piano and Alby Cullaz on bass.
The CD is also highlighted with long extracts from fully unreleased studio sessions. In February 1988 the trio entered the studio to work on an album, but the project never got off the ground.
Following the death of Alby Cullaz in 1998 and Michael Graillier in 2003, the recordings were shelved until now. The CD showcases the moving intimacy of the studio sessions and the incredible energy of this unique concert, along with honoring the memory of these great musicians who passed away before their time.
(Gibson) Whitesnake founder David Coverdale, who is about to release his band's new album Forevermore in Europe and the U.S., says his current band members are in awe of how strongly the fires of rock still burn within him.
Coverdale told Ultimate-Guitar.com's Steve Rosen that the band (who record their parts individually) were recently together to shoot some videos and take part in interviews and photo shoots for Forevermore, Whitesnake's 11th album.
"I put 'em all in a rental house to either kill each other or bond and thank God they bonded," Coverdale said. "I don't even want to know what went on there but apparently we needed two cleaning crews to go in after 'em." Coverdale said word got back to him that the band members were "in awe of how motivated I still am." Coverdale says that such a compliment from his colleagues is "pretty happening."
Sleep has announced some North American tour dates that will take place this summer.
Live dates in NYC (June 22) and Los Angeles (June 26) will bookend an appearance at the Sled Island Music & Arts Festival in Calgary, AB on June 24, where the group will share the stage with The Dandy Warhols, Blonde Redhead, The Buzzcocks and more.
Once referred to as "the ultimate stoner rock band", SLEEP evolved in the early 1990s and has exerted a considerable, consistent influence on modern heavy music ever since.
Withered have announced a series of shows this spring, including appearances at MACrock and New England Metal Fest, as well as dates with Krallice, and some headline dates.
Withered are touring in support of their latest album, "Dualitas," which was released in October of 2010.
Singer/guitarist Mike Thompson commented on the April dates: Our tour dates this April will harbor a monsoon of dynamics, venues, and participants. It feels very chaotic, just the way we love to work. It'll begin with a one-off date April 1st as we participate in the return of the MACRock festival this year. It'll be rewarding to bring our new music to this part of the country again, which we've neglected unintentionally for several years now. Following that, we've also been invited to participate in NEMF once again. This is always a good opportunity for Withered to bring our music to more diverse crowds than we're used to. Plus, we'll get to share the stage with some great bands and friends as well. After that we have a mix of headlining dates and a northeast US/Canadian run with Krallice. We've been talking about doing something together for quite a few years now so it's great to see this materialize. We'll be offering quite a mix of withered material for these dates from all three albums. We're excited about playing some songs from "Memento Mori" that haven't been performed in several years in addition to reaching into the deeper compositions from "Folie Circulaire" and "Dualitas". It will feel great to be on the road again.
(Killer Pimp) Ceremony will be performing a short string of dates in Germany and Italy and to celebrate, the group is releasing Two EPs.
Killer Pimp will release "Extended Play" - a limited EP of remixes and reinterpretations from Ceremony's "Rocket Fire" album, due for release on April 19th. Killer Pimp will only sell 500 units of this limited CD EP.
1) It's Too Late (Justin K Broadrick) 2) Someday (GD Luxxe) 3) Stars Fall (Monster Movie) 4) Never Make You Cry (Jessica Bailiff)
Skindred's new album "Union Black" will be released on April 25th through BMG Rights.
Arya Goggin from Skindred said: " Things are really happening for Skindred at the moment. I truly believe that this is the best alum we have made and we can't wait to get out on the road and play our fans these new songs!
"We are also hugely excited to have Chiodos and Me vs Hero as our special guests on this tour as we all really wanted to bring a diverse line up to the UK. We pride ourselves on having an interesting mix of music on our tours and this is going to be awesome!"
