  Monday, October 19, 2009 DEF LEPPARD CANCEL THIRD LEG OF US TOUR: Rumors in the air! From: www.defleppard.com/tour / "Due to unforeseen personal matters, the third leg of Def Leppard's North American Tour, set to begin on October 22nd, has been cancelled. "We know how truly blessed we are to have such committed fans," said the band in a statement. "That's why we've agonized over this decision. Even if just a single concert, we don't take cancelling shows lightly, but unfortunately life's commitments need to be the priority." Just what is going on? Whose commitments? So far no details have surfaced, but rumors ranging from poor ticket sales, to members in rehab to the band splitting up have been thrown around. What is the reason behind this? Poor ticket sales can pretty much be eliminated due to the strong returns from the band's first two US tour leg's, so stay tuned for more as soon as I can verify or debunk anything suggested so far.BON JOVI'S CIRCLE OF BONUS TRACKS: This is an original list of album and bonus tracks for the Bon Jovi release The Circle.

A CASTLE FULL OF RASCALS: DEEP PURPLE '83 – '09: Details from Martin Popoff regarding his new Deep Purple book: "The book is 20% bigger than the first one, 290 pages, stuffed with photos of the band and other memorabilia shots but mostly, yeah, a lot of text, featuring tons of previously unused interview footage from my many chats with the guys, to the point where this is almost an oral history. In addition to the Purple prose, there's bits about side-projects, the intro necessities about Gillan, Rainbow, Sabbath and Whitesnake, plus cool trivia from Nick Blagona, Thom Panunzio, Candice Night, Frank Morgan, and Stuart Smith (you'll get it when ya get it!). My aim with this thing, first and foremost, is to convert y'all to the joys of the Steve Morse era of the band, but of course, we've got lots to talk about with respect to Perfect Strangers, The House Of Blue Light, Slaves And Masters and The Battle Rages On as well. Plus there's lots of tour talk, details around the various live albums and bust-ups, a bit on the Concerto live album, plus of course, stories about Ritchie's practical jokes! What you get is my usual format – one chapter per album, every song examined. Plus the Rory Fiorito cover design matches up nicely with last year's Gettin' Tighter: Deep Purple '68 – '76. They look pretty swell together – 530 pages on Purple, and proudly, tons of it untapped talk from my interview archive. Books will be signed by me to you, so make clear if it's a Christmas present or whatever! One drag, given its 296 total pages, this no longer fits through this plastic mylar thing at Canada Post and thus has to go as “small packet” rather than “light packet” so the shipping cost is jacked – sorry. Price including shipping: US orders: $35.00 US funds Int'l orders (surface mail): $37.00 US funds Int'l orders (air mail): $44.00 US funds Canadian orders: $36.00 Cdn. funds. PayPal happily accepted!

Or mail payment (personal check in US funds, cash, or International money order), to: Martin Popoff P.O.

The first five Ye Olde Metals are still available!"MELODIC BRIEFS:Danny Vaughn was recently interviewed by long running website Sea of Tranquility about his recent live acoustic release The Road Less Travelled and future plans including the much anticipated new studio album from Tyketto. Read Danny's interview here: www.seaoftranquility.org/article.php?sid=1403.Lion's Share members Lars Chriss and Sampo Axelsson have, in cooperation with Sidelake Media and Christian Rehn (Angtoria), written the official intro song for Swedish elite ice hockey team Timrå Ik (Red Eagles). "The main riff was based on the song Shadows from Lion's Share's Two (1997) album, with an AC/DC and Rammstein twist since this style works so well in hockey arenas." The clip www.youtube.com/watch?v=T68-XG3Q-h4 is shown up on the Jumbotron when the players enter the ice. Due to illness Cannon has split up with drummer Arnd Lorenz (ex Galloglass) who has joined the band in 2008. Because of the break up the band stops all planned live activities. The band asks all the fans who looked forward for new Cannon concerts for understanding. Instead of that Cannon intensify the recordings for the new album. Five new songs were pre-recorded right now. The new CD should be released at the end of the next year.LA Project feat. Joe Williams on Swedish radio - Recorded live at Frideborg, Uddevalla, Sweden, March 20, 2009.
