Whitesnake Album, Tour Drawing Near

With a new album set for release on April 22 and a European tour this summer, Whitesnake is back in the news. With 10 years or so passed since their last studio albums, fans may not have expected to hear from the rockers again, but they are indeed back.

The group’s new album, Good To Be Bad, will be released on SPV on image April 22 and frontman David Coverdale took some time to talk with Billboard recently.

Plans for a U.S. tour are being discussed but are not yet final. European fans will be treated to a tour that features Whitesnake and Def Leppard, who also happen to have an album coming next month.

Coverdale reveals that he and Def Leppard’s Joe Elliot are old friends who are both surprised how well their tour is being received. They have decided to add new dates due to the fact that because the arenas are selling out three months in advance of the tour.

Whitesnake fans may also be looking forward to the release of a newly remastered 3-disk set to celebrate the groups 30-year anniversary. A live Whitesnake DVD is also said to be in the works.

When asked what inspired him to emerge from retirement, Coverdale mentions his experience touring with German rock legends the Scorpions and how he finished up that adventure with a smile on his face and a large sum of money, which prompted his wife to encourage more activities of that nature.

To avoid portraying the Whitesnake frontman as too interested only in the financial rewards of the music business, it should be noted that he was also quoted as saying: “I thought this is an opportunity to keep me happy and make other people happy, too.”

‘Rolling Stones Radio’ Returns To SIRIUS

Just in time to celebrate the release of Martin Scorsese’s new film featuring the Rolling Stones, SIRIUS Satellite Radio is brining "Rolling Stones Radio" back on the air for a month.

Readers may be aware that I have been a fan of SIRIUS ever since I rolling-stones-logo discovered it being carried on my Dish Network programming package a few years ago. The lack of commercials that plague terrestrial radio endlessly was the main reason I enjoyed listening to SIRIUS.

The new Scorsese film, Shine A Light, will open in "selected cities" on April 4, while "Rolling Stones Radio" will come to life on SIRIUS channel 12 tomorrow, March 18 with a scheduled end date of April 15.

"Rolling Stones Radio" last aired on SIRIUS during 2005 when the Rolling Stones released their album, A Bigger Bang.

Although SIRIUS has announced plans to keep "Rolling Stones Radio" on the air for about a month, there is the possibility that it could enjoy a longer life if there is enough demand for the channel. SIRIUS recently extended the life of the "E Street Radio," a station dedicated to the music of Bruce Springsteen And the E Street Band.

Led Zeppelin rumours ‘Are True’

Rumours of a worldwide LED ZEPPELIN tour following their triumphant one-off reunion gig earlier this month (Dec07) are true, according to a source close to the band.
Members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham have so far refused to be drawn on any future plans to reunite.
But a source close to the rockers has confirmed they are in negotiations to put on an 18-month world tour extravaganza later next year (08).
The pal tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “It will kick off at next year’s Glastonbury after Robert Plant has finished touring with American country star Alison Krauss.
“Plant and Krauss have a new album out right now and he is committed to that for the next couple of months at least.” The rock legends have been inundated with pleas from fans to follow up their hugely successful London show on 10 December (07) with a full-on tour.
