Mike Idiot, Son of an ---hole |

a statement on Friday, July 28, stating they are dropping off the Vans

and the bands beliefs. Fat Mike was on stage and opened with "most bands
on the warped tour this year really aren't that good, like Underoath, not
that good. We don't care about our fans, we just want to offend as many
people as we can." He later stated "if you are Christian or believe in
God like Underoath, I would leave right now because I am trying to offend
as many Christians as I can." The song "Idiot, Son of an ---hole" was later
dedicated to God.[see full story for more]- Click

The pilot of a helicopter that Lee had ferry him from his Hollywood Hills
home to a concert in Irvine, Calif. was charged today by the Los Angeles
City Attorney with landing an aircraft on a public road, and two other
charges besides.

landed on a public street and the pilot entered a residence. Tommy Lee
was seen coming out with two other passengers and the aircraft departed
to the southeast.
LA City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo charged
Martz with one count of reckless operation of an aircraft, one count of
landing an aircraft on a public road and one count of landing an aircraft
without a permit. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in
