Def Leppard's New Album Is 'Finished' Says Joe Elliot

McKagan hit the stage with Slash at the city's Mandarine Park to play "It's So Easy" as the first encore before they were joined by Clarke for the show-closer, "Paradise City."

It was the second night in a row for McKagan, as he teamed with Slash for the same pair of tunes on March 6 at Teatro Vorterix. Both concerts saw Duff McKagan's Loaded and Clarke open for their former Guns N' Roses bandmate.

"Its been an amazing couple of days," says Slash. "SO much love from Argentina fans; + jamming w/ @DuffMckagan & @GilbyClarke Good X's THANK YOU!"

Fans erupted with fury last month after an outfit called Nuclear Hellfrost claimed responsibility for vandalising the Texas memorial to the guitarist, who was shot dead on stage in 2004. A statement from Pantera spoke of their "absolute disgust."

Now a band named Hellfrost say they're being misidentified as Nuclear Hellfrost - and that they've been receiving death threats ever since the grave desecration was revealed.

As it turns out, the figure behind the extravagant purchase was Third Man Records head Jack White--and he has big plans for it, according to his new cover story for Billboard.

Shaddix tells Higgo: "I feel it coming back pretty strong. There's the contingent of bands that have stuck around like Korn, Deftones, Incubus - then there's this new wave of younger, heavier bands coming up.

Drummer Scott Rockenfield says: "Zeuss has a great history of working with some of the top-notch metal and rock bands in the industry. He's recently done some work with Rob Zombie, so super-fun stuff for us and we're really excited about it."

A statement reports: "Motorhead are currently in the recording studio with longtime producer Cameron Webb working on their upcoming album, which is due out fall 2015."

The production firm say of Catch The Throne: "Volume 2 will transcend genres by adding Grammy-nominated metal bands Mastodon, Anthrax and Killswitch Engage to the mixtape lineup.

They met in late 2014 for an annual discussion but agreed to remain on hiatus and compare notes again towards the end of next year. Meanwhile, he's concentrating on side-project Emigrate, while Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann - who last year said he wasn't certain the German giants would regroup - focuses on his self-titled duo.

Kruspe tells Loudwire: "We meet always once a year and talk about things. We decided to postpone for another year. Next year in September we'll meet again.

The box set from the Minneapolis outfit includes seven albums and the 1982 EP Stink, all issued during their original 12-year run after forming in Minneapolis in 1979.

The band split in 1991 but frontman Paul Westerberg and guitarist Tommy Stinson regrouped in 2012 for the EP Songs For Slim, a limited edition 10-inch vinyl release that was auctioned to raise money for former bandmate Slim Dunlap following a stroke.

It was Dunlap who inspired the group to reunite. Westerberg says: "We were talking to Slim when he was in the hospital, and I was like, 'Should we play?' And he said, 'Yeah, play.'"

Tickets for all shows went on sale Friday morning and the extra dates were added on the fly due to overwhelming demand from fans, who scooped up seats for the first three concerts.

Mainman Robert Fripp's offerings include Live At The Marquee, July 6, 1969; Live At The Marquee, August 10, 1971; and Live In Gulldford, November 13, 1972.

"We just finished tracking our next record," says Brandon. "We have some festival shows we're doing throughout the summer, and we should have some new music out in the fall."

The July 31 date will be the last North American concert on the trek in support of 2014's "Songs Of Innocence" before it heads to Europe for shows this fall.

With the band performing multiple shows as they stop in different cities through North America and Europe, Bono has described how the band plan to mix things up.

His Facebook post generated nearly 3000 responses in 24 hours, with some offering support and others suggesting his ego had got the better of him. One comment even came from a Whittington staff doctor.

Now Portnoy says: "I'd just like to apologise to anybody I offended. It was not a personal attack or rage against England's health care system in general, of which I know nothing.

"Yesterday I was the sickest I've ever been in my life. Paramedics came to see me at the gig and decided to take me to the emergency room - only for the ambulance to run out of gas. I was then driven to the hospital by a very kind fan.

"Neal and I calmly waited in the A&E without any indication of when I would be seen. I did not expect any special treatment, or want to be put ahead of anybody else in need, as I have been so wrongly accused. We only wanted some - any - answers as the clock was ticking until showtime."

And now he's going to add it to his collection of rock'n'roll memorabilia. Dougie, 50, tells TeamRock: "The gig was mind-blowing, and a few of us that interact online met Mr. Dibs, Richard Chadwick and some of the guys afterwards. We spoke for over half an hour and it was brilliant.

Organiser Winfried Volklein, who runs the festival in association with InsideOut Music, says: "Back in 2006 we started by accident when the owner of the amphitheatre asked me if I wanted to set up a show there.

They say: "Prior to beginning the tour dates in London, the group will be will perform a series of exclusive concerts on board the Cunard's flagship, Queen Mary 2, during her September 4-11 transatlantic crossing. CSN will also participate in a Q&A session and autograph opportunity for passengers."

Frontman Jake Taylor says: "I'd been searching for a concept that could explain the relationship between the masculine and feminine worlds, and how we need to be at peace with both.

"Many cultures believed the human body was a bridge between Mother Earth and Father Sky. One could not exist without the other - and therefore everything was one. To me, the essence of those energies could be seen even within my own parents. I felt like I was the product of both."

The band played Zeppelin's "You Shook Me" (originally recorded by Muddy Waters) and two Beatles songs - "If I Fell" and "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" - alongside a selection of their own classics like "Hard Luck Woman", "Calling Dr. Love" and "Beth."

"Biggest KISS Meet & Greet acoustic ever!", reports the band. "Over 700 in attendance at Tokyo Dome!" The March 3 stop was the final date of a Japanese tour by the band in support of the Japanese special edition of their greatest hits collection, "KISS 40."

The package differs from the 2014 North American release with the addition of the band's collaboration with Japanese pop idols Momoiro Clover Z, "Samurai Son", plus a DVD featuring three songs filmed at the Budokan in Tokyo on October 24th, 2013.

As the video progresses, the band appears a various biker gangs, from gruff Harley riders to hipsters on scooters. And when the gangs meet, they have no choice but to have a dance-off.

The follow-up to the group's 2013 debut, "All Hell Breaks Loose", was recorded in Nashville last year with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, The Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Mastodon).

The Immortal was written after Brown approached Jasta to create his latest entrance music. He says: "When Matt asked, an idea instantly came to mind. I'm a big fan of his so this worked out perfectly. Matt is fighting on March 14 at UFC 185 - it's going to be a war!"

Kotzen says: "Something that's going to be appearing soon is a live DVD. I've got a very rough cut here - so rough that you can see the time code - but I figured, why not share a little sneak-peek of what's to come?"

The guitarist issued his 20th solo album, Cannibals, in January. The Winery Dogs - also featuring bassist Billy Sheehan and drummer Mike Portnoy - plan to record their second album in May and they're eyeing a late summer release.

The seven-disc box set collects the band's six studio albums and adds a bonus disc, True Blue, featuring recordings from the 2002 Black Letter Days sessions.

The tracks, which were recorded between 1998 and 2003, will be presented in alphabetical order. Black explains: "It feels like an approximation of randomness and its a way to randomise something, especially if its titles.

"We get away from the preciousness of LPs we put out and its more about the body of work, the good times that we had. It's all recorded live to 2-track, as was our rule in the band."

Wonder Days, recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, last month debuted at number 9 in the UK album chart. Frontman Danny Bowes reacted by saying: "Thanks yet another million to you Thunder-loving maniacs for not only buying it, but telling others to do the same. It would appear we are very much back!"

The footage was shot in March last year at the Circus Club in Helsinki, and features guest appearances by Nightwish, After Forever and Revamp singer Floor Jansen, and Sonic Syndicate's Nathan J. Biggs.

In the newly released studio video clip Belladonna says: "Really not much more to it than just get in there and start hammering away at each song. Stay tuned!"

Our Latest Single which is a hectic multi layered song is entitled Lost Tribes, it is taken from our upcoming album ENKI. The song is very personal, being Assyrian Armenian from Jerusalem I have many family in the entire region, the song has a few meanings one of which refers to the ancient tribes in the near east and the great cultural legacy they left. But another meaning is what is happening to the indigenous people there especially by ISIS.

I was writing the song when I heard my cousin was shot by ISIS and was still alive, no further news was given. He lives in Syria and he is of an Armenian Christian background. His city is taken over by the ISIS terrorists. It did hit home last time I saw him was in the mid 80s we were little kids. This gave me further motivation to adjust the lyrics and speak about the roots of the peoples in the region and how they are being lost.

Musically the song has various thrash and black metal touches with middle eastern scaling and drum beats aside from the fast paced drums as well, we were honoured to have Max Cavalera of Soulfly on guest vocals as well he offered a different vocal approach than mine.

The song itself comes in two sections that have different moods. A very intense song and deeply personal to me. The song is performed with 12 string and 6 string electric guitars and all was tuned on 432 HZ.
