BOOKED: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tony Kaye, director

Red Hot Chili Peppers will return this spring with the double album Stadium Arcadium, their first release of new material in nearly four years. Commercial/feature film director Tony Kaye has been tapped to direct a clip for first single "Dani California," which will nod to the history of rock 'n' roll from the early '50s through the present day.

SHOT: Eagles Of Death Metal - Akiva Schaffer, director

Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse "The Devil" Hughes makes a strong case for himself as the most powerful man in rock as he's able to make women (and men) disrobe through the sheer force of this tune. Also indicative of his power is the fact that both Jack Black and Dave Grohl have cameos in the video.
