Korn releases the first of four free, exclusive digital EPs on Monday (September 28th), with the EP available exclusively to Premium Members of Korn.com. The release contains an instrumental demo called "Korn 11" from the band's upcoming album, an early demo from singer Jonathan Davis called "Starting Over," and a live, extended version of the group's cover of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall," recorded live this past July at a Norwegian festival.

Korn is currently working on its ninth studio album, which is due out sometime in early 2010. Although only three members of the original lineup -- Davis, guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer and bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu -- remain, Davis said that the essence of Korn is intact: ["I'll lay it down to you right now: all the writing was done by Fieldy and Munky. David (Silveria, ex-drummer) was there to write beats, but he wasn't really there. Head (ex-guitarist Brian Welch) wasn't really there for any of it, because he was so jacked up on drugs and worrying about other things. So the core of Korn is there. And adding Ray (Luzier) as the drummer -- he loves playing drums and he plays just like David did. We're excited that we found someone that fits that mold. So I think we got the three that's the core of what Korn is."]


Killers frontman Brandon Flowers recently told Rolling Stone magazine that he does not like the idea of musicians pursuing careers as actors, or vice versa. The always outspoken singer said, "I get annoyed with people that leapfrog around like that. It's like taking advantage of a situation that you've been given. If I were an actor I'd be pissed if I saw a musician trying to act. And, if you're an actor, you have no business making an album, no matter how good you sound when you sing in the shower."


Buckcherry began its 11-week tour opening for Kiss over the weekend with two shows at Detroit's Cobo Arena, where Kiss recorded its breakthrough Alive! album. Buckcherry performed a nearly 50-minute set each night, kicking out hits such as "Lit Up," "Sorry" and a version of "Crazy Bitch" that broke into bits of Billy Squier's "The Stroke" and the Ohio Players' "Fire." The quintet also played its version of Deep Purple's "Highway Star," which it recorded for TNT's NASCAR broadcasts and included on a new deluxe version of its latest album, Black Butterfly.

At both shows frontman Josh Todd gave props to Kiss, telling the crowd that Buckcherry had opened for the theatrical rockers in 1999, before the release of his group's first album.

JUDGE ORDERS LAWYER TO DRESS WELL: A federal judge in Brooklyn, New York dismissed a complaint by a lawyer that he had the right to wear jeans and a baseball cap in the courtroom. The lawyer showed up to court in the outfit and was told by the judge that he was dressed inappropriately. The man decided to sue the judge and county clerk claiming that his right to wear the clothes were protected under the first and fourteenth amendments. However, it is within the law that a judge can set reasonable limits on litigants' behavior to enforce courtroom civility. (Reuters)

The Associated Press reports that he's resting comfortably at home. O'Brien fell during a skit being taped for for Friday's episode and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. A source tells E! News that the talk show host was running down a flight of stairs when he slipped and banged his head, reportedly resulting in a concussion. O'Brien said, "Last thing I remember I was enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln, and the next thing I knew I was in bed being served cookies and juice." Actress Teri Hatcher, who was on the set as a guest that day, said, "We did this bit and at the very end, when we ran in to cross the finish line, he slipped as he was crossing the finish line and hit his head. He didn't get off the floor right away, but then he [seemed] like he recovered and [pulled] it together, and they did an instant replay, and you could really see his head hit the floor." She added, "He did go to the hospital and he does have a concussion."

His attorney told People magazine, "Redmond has embraced recovery. All of his reports are extremely positive. He has taken huge steps towards his new life. This has been a very challenging time for Redmond. He lost his mother while in recovery. He loved his mother dearly and that was extremely hard on him. It would be challenging for anybody, much less a 24-year-old coming to grips with his addiction and recovery."

Foo Fighters recently unveiled the track listing for their upcoming collection, Greatest Hits, with the 16-song package set to contain two new songs, "Word Forward" and "Wheels." But if you think that the inclusion of new material means a whole new album is on the way, drummer Taylor Hawkins says not to hold your breath: ["It's a twinkle in Dave's (Grohl, frontman) eye right now, you know. Who knows what it's gonna be or when it's gonna be. It could be two years from now, I don't know. It depends how long we decide to go off and do side projects and stuff like that. We will get to it, you know. I know we will 'cause I know Dave has songs. We'll get to it when Dave's good and ready. I don't want to do it until Dave's good and ready, you know."]


Alice In Chains recently recruited pop legend Elton John to contribute piano to the title track of the band's about-to-be-released new album, Black Gives Way To Blue. Not only was Elton a favorite of guitarist Jerry Cantrell, but he was the first artist that late Alice In Chains singer Layne Staley ever saw in concert. Cantrell told us about the experience: ["It was just really cool to hang with him and to, you know, have somebody that means so much to your musical journey to be a part of your creation, you know what I mean? And one of those real meaningful things that you could never really expect to happen, and we're just kind of still blown away that it did."]


A singer-songwriter says that there are "striking similarities" between his music video and one created by Coldplay.

Gallagher said, "I think it's unfair that 'Strawberry Swing' will probably be nominated for numerous awards and is being universally acclaimed as groundbreaking, when ('Something Else' director] Owen Trevor had virtually the same idea at least a year before."

Flyleaf will begin a series of VIP listening parties for their new album, Memento Mori, on Monday (September 28th) in Seattle, according to Blabbermouth.net.

Flyleaf fans were able to request that their city get included on the schedule through an online service called Demand It.

Sameer told us at last spring's Rock On The Range festival that he still feels like a fan when he gets to meet his favorite artists: ["I mean, more than half the bands today, you get that feeling. All these bands have been around and have really amazing records, you know, and it's stuff that I've been listening to for a really long time. So, you know, like, I walk around and there's Jim Root (guitarist, Slipknot, Stone Sour) sitting, you know, and we've done a few tours with Stone Sour so I know Jim Root. But even then, you know, like, I still flip out. And I saw Munky (guitarist, Korn) and it's still surreal."]

And they're so white and so like angry and soulless and we're out there like (sings) 'sexy little thing...'

Mackenzie Phillips is returning to the Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday (September 25th), where she and half-sister Chynna Phillips will address the incest revelations that made headlines earlier this week. On Thursday's show Winfrey said, "You heard the bombshell from child star Mackenzie Phillips. Now she's back for the reaction, and her half-sister Chynna is speaking out." It's unclear if they will be live in studio.

Phillips revealed that she had a decade-long sexual relationship with her father, John Phillips, of the Mamas and the Papas. She said, "It started very early on in my life. And this was the mother of all difficult experiences. I was 17, 18. I wasn't a small child, but I'll tell you something, it was one of those things where you tell yourself, 'Don't look.' ... I felt so alone. And I think my father was not a bad man. It's kind of a testimony to what drugs and alcohol [do]."

Chynna has said that she does not doubt her sister's story but Mackenzie's stepmother, Genevieve Waite Phillips, denies the claims. She said in a statement, "John was a good man who had the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction. He was incapable, no matter how drunk or drugged he was, of having such a relationship with his own child."

Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin told FazerMagazine.com in a new interview that the band has got a tentative list of 18 songs to choose from for its fifth studio album, which the group began working on this week in Los Angeles. Larkin added that the band's recent single, "Whiskey Hangover," is a good starting point for the sound of the next record, saying, "That's what we're going for. It's more simplistic than the last record -- less bluesy, more heavy, but, you know, we wanted to get back to the original sound of the band and what made this band happen in the first place . . . simple heavy rock, so that's where were kind of shooting for on this one."

Although "Whiskey Hangover" was written and recorded to promote Godsmack's appearance on the Crue Fest 2 tour this past summer, Larkin said that the Number One-charting single will be on the new album as well.
The new Godsmack CD is due out next spring, and in a recent interview, singer Sully Erna laid out the band's timetable for us: ["September 20th we enter the studio, we work that until maybe late November, early December, hopefully wrap up the new record. Then we'll deal with the holidays, the new year. We'll start doing our press, new photos, you know, a video possibly, by the first quarter in '10. Maybe release the record in March or April, and then prepare for a world tour come May.

Muse's new album, The Resistance, debuted at Number Three on the Billboard album chart on Wednesday (September 23rd), with the disc selling 128,000 copies in its first week of release. The chart position and sales are both career highs for the British trio in the U.S. The group's previous effort, 2006's Black Holes And Revelations, debuted at Number Nine with first-week sales of 48,000, both peak numbers for that project.

Muse's climb to stardom in this country really began in 2004, when they toured heavily behind their third album, Absolution. That's when drummer Dominic Howard told us the band really started to see a change: ["It really was an amazing feeling to come over, even initially when we were doing small clubs, you know, like the first little club tour we did over here, all the gigs were full. It blew our minds really, 'cause we were like, didn't realize we had any fans over here. So the fact that the word had kind of spread underground and, like, through the Internet and through whatever medium, is really an amazing thing to actually see that firsthand


The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kiss are among the first-time nominees for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, according to Billboard.com. Also included for the first time on the list of a dozen nominees are Genesis, the Hollies, LL Cool J and Jimmy Cliff. Returning for another shot at the Hall are the Stooges, ABBA, the Chantels, Darlene Love, Laura Nyro and Donna Summer. Five of the 12 will be chosen for induction, with their names revealed in January and the 25th annual ceremony set to take place on March 15th at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City.

Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith told Billboard, "It's a real honor to be nominated in our first year of eligibility. Obviously the Hall of Fame has excellent musical taste."
The Chili Peppers released their first album in 1984. Acts become eligible for induction after recording for 25 years.
Chili Peppers bassist Flea told us a while back that when the band first got together, their chemistry could not be denied: ["You know, when the band first started, it was this wild energy that we couldn't control. It was just like bursting through us, you know. We couldn't even control it, it was like it just had to happen. It was like there wasn't any choice in the matter. We just had to do it, and it just gave birth to this thing that has lasted all this time


Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory posted a message at his MySpace blog on Tuesday (September 22nd) in which he addressed his "disappearance" the weekend before. Bathory "disappeared" on Friday night (September 18th) shortly after the band's record release party in Las Vegas, and apparently did not communicate with the band for the next three days, leading them to ask if anyone knew of his whereabouts. In his post, Bathory wrote, "In the Pre-Cellphone era -- nobody would have freaked out . . . nobody would have even noticed . . . Anyhow, I'm ok... just a little bit of too much VEGAS!!! But who doesn't get s***faced time to time... My phone is camping on a bottom of some pool somewhere -- I still have a slight headache -- but . . . if I'm off the map for 2-3 days It doesn't mean I was abducted by aliens..."

Bathory added, "If any of the other guys disappeared it would have been totally the norm . . . I guess this is what 'being the responsible guy' in the band gets ya."
Ironically, Bathory told us in an earlier interview that singer Ivan Moody was the one most likely to get caught up in the Las Vegas "lifestyle," adding: ["He's very much the 'last pirate,' the middle finger of this generation, you know what I mean? He's really the guy who jumps in a car anywhere in the world and says, 'yeah, let's go' -- no passport, no papers, nothing, just goes anywhere. He's really the last free spirit, he pretty much just lives for the now, you know, does what he feels like doing. So there's something admirable, for me at least -- I'm looking at, like, I wish I could do that

MACKENZIE PHILLIPS SAYS ABORTION EVENTUALLY ENDED SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH DAD

Mackenzie Phillips told Oprah Winfrey about her incestuous relationship with her father on Wednesday's (September 23rd) show, revealing that the only reason it ended was because she might have been pregnant with his child.

Mackenzie said that she and John Phillips had been sleeping together for ten years, beginning when she was 19. She claimed that after becoming pregnant, she was unable to discern if the child was in fact her father's or that of her then-husband Shane Fontayne. The elder Phillips eventually paid for her abortion and then she "never let him touch me again."

In response to Mackenzie's allegations, her former stepmother, Genevieve Waite released a statement directly to the Oprah Winfrey Show saying, "I am stunned by Mackenzie's terrible allegations about her father. I would often complain about her overly familiar attitudes towards him, and he said it was just her way. John was a good man. ... He was incapable, no matter how drunk or drugged he was, to have sexual relations with his own child."

The new Alice In Chains album, Black Gives Way To Blue, is now streaming in its entirety at a German website, according to Blabbermouth.net. The band's first all-new studio album in 14 years is due out on September 29th and features the recording debut with the group of singer/guitarist William DuVall, who joined the band when it reunited in 2006, four years after the death of original frontman Layne Staley. DuVall spoke with us about taking Alice In Chains into the future while honoring its past: ["You have to do this in a way that takes into account the legacy of everything they did before, and nobody wants to be a part of anything that tarnishes that and doesn't build onto that, you know, doesn't add to what's there -- least of all me.
