"I really wanted to perform [the classic Russ Ballard song] 'New York Groove' [which appeared on Frehley's 1978 solo album]," Ace revealed on Tuesday's edition of a "The Artie Lange Show".

The group released a trailer and rehearsal video yesterday (April 9) via X-Games and Southern California clothing retailer Tilly's YouTube channel's channels, oddly filed under "Comedy." Today, the band made their first single, titled "4AM", available on iTunes.

Guitarist Rodriguez-Lopez and vocalist Bixler-Zavala have had an on-again, off-again relationship since forming At the Drive-In 1993. After briefly reuniting as the band at Coachella and Lollapalooza in 2012, little was known about the duo's future together.

According to a tweet from Flea this morning, he recorded several tracks with the group. It's not the first time he's had some sort of connection with Rodriguez-Lopez and Bixler-Zavala; he played bass on the Mars Volta's 2003 debut De-Loused in the Comatorium and contributed trumpet to that album's followup, Frances the Mute.

Flea tweeted "Woke to find out I'm in a new supergroup. Hahahaha. Played on some tracks a few weeks ago with my friends omar and Cedric for love that all".

"I'm not gonna get into the politics or all that stuff, but I got two words to say: 'Deep Purple,'" he tells Rolling Stone. "That's all I have to say: Deep Purple. Seriously, people, 'Deep Purple,' two simple words in the English language.

"But definitely, Nirvana is a no-brainer for the first year and I'm glad that Kiss is getting the long-overdue recognition that they deserved for everything that they pioneered, and then I got two words, 'Deep Purple!' Did I say that already?"

The pair were introduced by Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, who appeared as guests on the program the night before their induction into the 2014 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

"What Duff does is what Duff does. It doesn't really concern me," Slash tells Team Rock. "Duff's relationship with Axl [Rose] is different to mine. That call to me is just not going to happen."

EOne Entertainment announced on Wednesday that they will be releasing the DVD, entitled 40, on April 30th as a single disc DVD that will run for 155 minutes, according to Amazon.

40 features the current lineup of the band, Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge and Marc Quinones, along with over 60 special guests paying tribute to the original band lineup Duane Allman, Dickey Betts and Berry Oakley (plus Gregg, Butch and Jaimoe) by performing the group's iconic debut and sophomore albums, The Allman Brothers Band and Idlewild South back to back. You can pre-order it here.

He writes, "There has been a lot of speculation regarding the recent announcement of my involvement with From First To Last. I would like to make it clear that I wanted to join them in creating an EP for fun.

"I met the guys at Taylor Larson's studio while recording personal music around the same time the band was in the studio. We got along really well and decided it would be fun to work on something together, which lead to me doing vocals on their EP. I'm really honored to work with From First To Last and be a part of this EP as something I'm doing on the side while Periphery is writing.

According to the band, the new animated lyric video for Midnight Oil," was created by Nev Todoroic who spearheads the interactive media production company The Young Astronauts.

Apart from Hughes and Bonham, the group also features 23-year-old guitarist Andrew Watt who had the following to say about the video, "We wanted a lyric video that would make people want to watch this song in addition to just listen to it, one that would highlight the bombastic grooves of the track and convey the rhythm of the message. I turned to my friends, the Young Astronauts, whose previous videos have hundreds of millions of views, but they don't work with a lot of rock bands and I thought THAT'S the magic, right there."

Hughes adds, "It's a refreshing animated video that really captures the lyrical concert and message of the Midnight Oil single. We didn't want to make a run-of-the-mill lyric video. The animation perfectly captures the raw energy, lyrical content and the message of what Midnight Oil is really all about... rock n roll!!"

According to Daniels, the book takes an in depth at the band's history from their formation through their first two studio albums, "Iron Maiden" and "Killers" featuring Paul Di'Anno on lead vocals and the first two albums featuring Bruce Dickinson on lead vocals, "Number of the Beast" and "Piece of Mind."

Daniels says that he wanted "to give a balanced and objective view on the first eight years. Two albums with one singer (Paul Di'Anno), two with the other (Bruce Dickinson)".

While researching for the book, Daniels spoke to many people that have been associated with the band including former members Dennis Stratton and Tony Moore, as well as fan club chief Keith Wilfort.

According to Amazon, the book also includes a foreword by current Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal and an afterword from former Judas Priest frontman Tim 'Ripper' Owens.

This isn't the first time that Daniels has published a book at Iron Maiden. In 2012 Voyageur Press released his acclaimed illustrated coffee table style hard cover "Iron Maiden: The Ultimate Unauthorized History Of The Beast".

For the new video, Kip Winger and the band recruited Jason Green and Dan Hubp to the direct the clip. Their history with the band goes way back as they designed the first Winger album cover and logo.

"Tin Soldier" showcases Winger's progressive rock side with three different time signatures and Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess had this to say about frontman the band's prog credentials, "I remember when I saw the first Winger video many years ago. I was struck by the high level of musicality within the whole band and total charisma of Kip Winger.

"Years later now moving to the present, I can still feel the magic and the power of this group. I've had the amazing fortune to work with Rod Morgenstein, who is one of the greatest drummers on the planet. He can play anything from solid rock to the craziest prog I can think of.

"I've also worked with Kip. His amazing voice and musicianship shine through anything he touches, whether it's singing Rudess, Gentle Giant or ELP songs on my albums, creating rich original orchestral music in his own compositions or leading his band Winger, to this day in driving, sonically satisfying rock gems. These guys are not only my friends and cohorts but also my musical heroes. Rock on Winger. Check out the album!"

The "Tin Soldier" video follows the release of videos for "Rat Race" and "Midnight Driver of a Love Machine" from the new album, which is set to be released on April 22nd in North America.

In addition to the set times, a handful of new acts have been added to the bill. The Pixies, Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas and electronic music producer Nicolas Jaar (already scheduled to be at Coachella as one half of Darkside) are now on the massive list of artists set to perform over the three-day festival.

This latest round of Coachella information followed the release earlier in the day of this year's festival map, which now finds the popular DoLab dance area moved from its usual location in the center of the festival grounds to an area adjacent to the EDM-powered Sahara Tent.

The Doors fans will find a new Record Store Day exclusive in Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine, a reissue of the 1972 Elektra Records release on amber vinyl. This was the second compilation from the Doors and the first release following the death of Jim Morrison.

AEGEA will be released via just 250 vinyl copies initially, with each disc annotated and hand-numbered by Corgan himself. They're set to retail for $60.

The Sacramento rockers hit the studio in early February to work on the project. "I must say that this new Tesla album is really gonna be awesome," guitarist Frank Hannon posted last month during the sessions. "We went in more prepared with the songs and ideas way more than Forevermore, and the style is pure Tesla back to our roots. the band is working and producing it as we did Into The Now..with help from the legendary Tom Zutaut who helped us make our best albums..the title of the new album is gonna be "Simplicity" and I truly believe you guys are gonna love it!"

"The opening track is called MP3," the guitarist continued, "and starts off with an opus intro that orchestrates into a heavy slow groove with lyrics about technology and how we miss simplicity, vinyl albums, family values...and has a heavy ass riff! Then we segue into a rock n roll song called Ricochet that talks about uncle Ted...can't wait to play this stuff live!"

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Batmanglij will contribute the score to This is Our Youth, an upcoming Broadway play starring Cera, Kieran Culkin and Tavi Gevinson.
