Def Leppard Postpone Tour For Medical Reasons

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

The news of the video shoot spread over the weekend after a UK casting agency put out a notice looking for two "kidnapping bad ass chicks" (ages 18 to 26) to appear in a video.

The notice was clearly labeled in a tweet to the casting information "PAID JOB: GUNS N ROSES, LONDON #actor #actingjob #musicvideo" but the description went on to say "This is a narrative film for hip hop group."

Directed by Bryan Buckley of production house Hungry Man, Adweek reports the ad promotes the new Ridgeline's truck-bed audio system, which uses so-called "exciters" to turn the whole bed into a giant outdoor speaker.

"It's a very unique feature," explains Honda's AVP of Marketing Tom Peyton. "Nobody else has it. And it's a little tough to communicate - although we will in some advertising later this spring, when the truck's at the dealers.

Directed by award-winning photographer Pep Bonet, the clip was filmed over two days in Palma de Mallorca with extras who had applied to be part of the filming after Bonet made an online appeal.

"It is Bonet's first music video piece," says the band, "and from its Sam Peckinpah' like approach to the calm mystery of actor Santi Oliver, the style, frame and intriguingly off-kilter atmosphere all encapsulate the best elements of Bonet's photography."

"Bad Magic" scored the band's highest US chart position in Motorhead's career, debuting at No. 22 on the Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 11,000 copies upon its release in August.

He died on January 10 at the age of 69 after a battle with cancer. His body was cremated in New York two days later. The will also reveals he left behind an estate worth $100million (�70m), half of which will go to his widow Iman.

The Motley Crue singer will be among 16 contestants, with UFC star Chael Sonnen, Jersey Shore's Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi and Muhammad Ali's daughter Laila also taking part.

The show sees celebs compete for a cash prize that will go to the winner's nominated charities. Neil is representing the Las Vegas-based Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center For Brain Health.

He tells the Las Vegas Sun: "I'll be raising money for great Las Vegas causes, so I hope the entire valley-wide community will be supporting whatever it is we have to tackle.

Frontman Kevin Martin says: "Vexatious is about the social networking-obsessed, unlimited bragging rights society we live in, where people come off as entitled yet so insecure.

"Whether it's a pop star feuding senselessly with another pop star, or people who can't help but to take 50 different selfies in under a minute missing everything that's happening around them, it's a sad commentary on life that we can't escape.

Ament says: "Ghost Riding embodies what we went after on this record: pushing ourselves creatively with new songwriting approaches, unique sounds, groove and uncomfortable instrumentation. Joseph wrote a great take of longing of childhood past, really beautiful words."

Social media lit up with reports over the weekend that the band was in the studio with their original vocalist for the first time in 35 years recording a 'back-to-roots album,' and that a tour was being planned for 2017. The site also claimed as many as eight songs had been recorded and that there was security on the doors to ensure no news got out.

'This is a tour I've wanted to put together for a long time," said Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale in a prepared statement. 'Not just a package with every band featuring a girl-that's been done a million times. This tour is a different breed, showcasing loud, powerful female voices."

"Every frontwoman here holds her own both on and off the stage, and has fought more than her share of the good fight. This isn't your sister's woman music fest! I'm honored to have the legendary Lita Ford on this run and welcome newcomers Dorothy who make me so proud of the future of rock. All fans of true rock music--men, women, everyone--need to see this show."

And while they say it's not the end of the road, the 2016 dates - which will be announced in due course - will be the last time they break out the electric guitars.

Vocalist and guitarist Francis Rossi says: "We've talked about it for some time and have decided that it's time for us to hang up the electrics - it's getting harder for us to play those shows. It's 30 years since we last said we were stopping but this is a final decision.

His play, called One Thinks Of It All As A Dream, will run at this year's event which is held from October 10 to 31. It'll premiere at Glasgow's Oran Mor in October, before touring to the Traverse in Edinburgh and the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen.

Bissett tells the Herald: "At the centre of it is a man in pain. Syd Barrett is unique in rock'n'roll history, and certainly haunted Pink Floyd's music after he left.

Drummer Michel 'Away' Langevin says: "Another apocalyptic song from the RadicArt sessions. I think Post Society is a good indication of where we are heading for musically. Ingredients from all the Voivod eras with a futuristic touch. I can't wait to play it live."

He tells TeamRock Radio presenter Pete Bailey's The Playlist podcast: "Ideas for album four are very much under way - there's actually a couple of songs written already and a mountain of ideas that need to be sorted out.

"We'll probably have another release later this year - not an album but something else - maybe some re-workings. We're playing with some ideas and we'll definitely put something out for the summer because we're playing Download."

Farro tells Teen Vogue: "I was wanting to write a song about two people in a relationship and from one person's perspective in that relationship where they have the other person walking on eggshells.

"It starts with the couple laying in bed and they just had an argument. They're giving each other the silent treatment and not talking. I feel like we've all been there and you get frustrated.

"The chorus talks about the individual coming to the realisation that he's got the other person walking on eggshells, on a tightrope all the time, and that the reasons for their arguments in the grand scheme of things aren't that big of a deal, so that's basically it. It's kind of how we can be tough on the ones we love without really realising it."

Now they've revealed appearances across Europe and South America. The follow-up to 2012's Sounds That Can't Be Made is currently available to pre-order through the band's PledgeMusic page in a variety of packages.

In January, the band said the new material was "in good shape" and revealed they had six working titles: The Leavers, El Dorado, Class, Things Buried, New Kings and Melt Our Guns.

Drummer Stef Broks recently told TeamRock: "I knew we couldn't just write 10 songs for a new record and think that was going to be enough. This is our fifth album, and traditionally that's a very important step for a band. It's where reputations are cemented.

The record is set to be released on March 25 via Sumerian Records and is the band's first with new singer Denis Stoff, who replaced Danny Worsnop last year.

BFMV say: "Our brother Moose got the wonderful news late last year that he and his wife are expecting their first child together, which I'm sure you'll join us in congratulating them on.

Distortland is issued on April 8 via Dine Alone Records - the band's first for the label. Distortland was first recorded in frontman Courtney Taylor's basement on an 80s cassette recorder with the band adding the finishing touches in the studio.

Guitarist Tony Clarkin says: "The song is about working in a job you hate, when you had such big plans for yourself but you were too scared to take a chance and follow them through."

The band say: "For those of you that couldn't join us for Music City Roots, check out Ain't Much Left Of Me." Blackberry Smoke are currently on the road across the US and head to Australia next month in support of their most recent album Holding All The Roses, released last year via Rounder.

The media were also thrown by the fact the British group had a song called Little Baby Swastikkka - which is actually a staunchly anti-Nazi statement. Drummer Mark Richardson tells TeamRock Radio: "We were touring Post Orgasmic Chill in the States and we had to cancel a gig because the local press thought we were a bunch of Nazis. They heard that Skin had a skinhead and Ace had no hair."

Skin adds: "And we had a song called Little Baby Swastikkka. They presumed that we were a pro-Nazi band. There was this whole movement in that town to get us banned, so we were banned from playing in that venue.

"When we got there, we got off the tour bus and walked into the radio station... to complete awkward silence. They were like, 'I guess you haven't heard what's been happening here?'

"They told us and I cried with laughter. I said, 'I'm black...if you'd looked at the album cover you'd have noticed that. Little Baby Swastikkka is an anti-Nazi song.

When I think about writing 'Deliverance' I think about where I was in my own life. I was dealing with trying to figure out what to do with my life, how do I continue to make music and make enough money to survive and how do I just survive? I was also trying to come to terms with a lot of issues in my past, mistakes that I'd made and the frustrating reality that I kept feeling like I had failed.
