VIDEO: 'Rock of Ages' Premiere | Soundtrack Debuts at No. 1

"I have either jammed with, partied with, or hung out with every friend that joined me on this album. There is such an awesome and diverse mix of talent on this record -- from rock to country to rap to blues to pop to hip hop to alt rock to Jimmy Buffett. It was truly one of the highlights of my career," Michaels tells Billboard of the forthcoming disc.

The notorious Poison frontman/VH1 reality star recently released a video for his latest single, "Get Your Rock On," which includes footage of him riling up crowds, tooling around on a motorcycle, and entertaining females backstage on his current solo tour. The track features Def Leppard's Phil Collen and Sal Costa of My Darkest Days.

Michaels is currently on the road on his Get Your Rock On tour and will be continuing with solo gigs in between dates on the upcoming Poison/Def Leppard/Lita Ford Rock of Ages tour kicking off on June 20th in Salt Lake City.

Jimmy Fallon Debuts 'Blow Your Pants Off' Album Cover

by Sarah Maloy, N.Y.  |   May 04, 2012 11:00 EDT

Last night NBC's "Late Night," Jimmy Fallon unveiled the cover for his upcoming "Blow Your Pants Off" album, which will feature appearances from Justin Timberlake, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen.

The risque cover shows Fallon baring his backside atop a bearskin rug, but in the name of propriety and marketing, the suited-from-the-waist-up host is covered by a "June 12" sticker as he sips a glass of red wine and relaxes by a crackling fire. But if you buy it, Fallon pointed out seductively, it doesn't come with a sticker.

"I don't remember taking this photo at all," Fallon said on the show, holding up the album cover. "It's just a guy relaxing at home with a nice glass of wine. Starts listening to the album and his pants blew off."

As The Roots' Questlove fell into a fit of laughter on the side of the stage, Fallon added, "I don't know if this is my butt or a stunt butt. There's rumors going around that it's the 'Mona Lisa' of album covers."

Dave Matthews and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder are also featured on the comedy album, which drops June 12. We'll have to wait to see if any skittish big-box stores take issue with Fallon's bare bum and pull it from shelves.
