The Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar tells Forbes.com he's been approached for virtually every lead-singer opening in the past two decades. He says, "I was asked at one time to be in Motley Crue. I was asked at one time to be in Pantera by their managers. I was asked to be in Velvet Revolver when Scott Weiland quit and went back to the Stone Temple Pilots. I was waiting to be asked to be in Led Zeppelin to say no, since they were the greatest band on earth and no one could replace Robert Plant. I was asked to be in Aerosmith and I said no."

After numerous delays, Steven Tyler finally publishes his autobiography, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?, today. Among the topics he writes about: Steven Tyler on Joe Perry: "My whole life I'd been searching for my mutant twin -- I wanted a brother. I didn't want to be in another band without a brother. I needed a soulmate... We're polar twins. We're total opposites. Joe is cool, Freon runs in his veins. I'm hot, hot-blooded Calabrese, a sulfur sun beast, shooting my mouth off. Joe's a creep... I'm an ass."
