Stza was performing at a protest concert in the area, which is also home to the NYPD's 9th Precinct, and proceeded to throw donuts at officers while performing.

Ace Show Biz reports that Akon "was videotaped, in between performances on the show, trying to 'crowdsurf to a camera stand about 100 yards off stage' and when he got there he grabbed one of the female fans and pushed her into the crowd as she tried to hold his hand. He then grabbed the other lady who tried to embrace him from behind and tossed her into the crowd." The promoters put out an "unedited" clip of the incident to show the "full story".

Here is the statement we received: "We are shocked to hear that there is a video clip circulating that suggests Akon treated a fan badly during his August 30th performance in Guyana. There were no incident reports stemming from the event. Despite a late start, the concert was a tremendous success and we hope that Akon will come back soon."

According to NewOK.com, Abrams allegedly punched the woman in her nose and verbally threatened her by saying, "I'm a kill you! You and me! You and me!"

Misfits frontman Jerry Only posted the following update on the band's website: "For the sake of our loyalty and dedication to all our fiends, the Misfits have chosen to withdraw from the lineup of Volcom's 2008 tour.

"The Misfits have always held an incredibly high standard of performance and quality in everything we do. Our fans expect this and deserve it. I will not compromise their expectations for any amount of money, prestige or fame."

This dream-team of a band combines the legendary bassist Bootsy Collins�who, with James Brown in the 1960s and Parliament-Funkadelic in the 1970s, set the course of modern funk�with none other than Guitarist Extraordinaire Buckethead (Guns N' Roses, Iggy Pop, Mike Patton, Les Claypool, Bernie Worrell, Serj Tankian, Tony Williams and Bill Laswell), drummer Brain (Primus, Tom Waits, Godflesh), and producer/singer/songwriter/guitarist Greg Hampton (Alice Cooper/Ron Wood, Rick Derringer, The Tubes, Jack Casady featuring Ivan Neville & Gov't Mule, Jorma Kaukenon, Little Feat). The resulting cross-pollination of genres implicit in such a musical meeting-of-the-minds means there's no telling what direction Science Faxtion may traverse!

"Deviant" may be considered their softest album, with some very radio-friendly content. "Microwaved", "Genius" and "Disposable" include some of the noisy sound parts common in the band's previous songs, but the "Deviant" sound is completely stripped of the old noises. The album is enhanced with animated video made for the track "Hidden Agenda" and screen saver. The LP comes with 30 pre-moistened samples in ready-to-loop WAV format, and also with a mini Rat Bastard comic - a subversive, futuristic graphic novel about a half rat/half human private eye.

Today's misheard lyric is to Prince's "Little Red Corvette" and the line "Guess I must be dumb / You had a pocket full of horses." That lyric has been misheard as "Guess I must be dumb / As a bucket full of horse sh*t."

Today's free Remixed EP centers around three standout tracks from Lust Lust Lust, presented in radically different new versions. Hypnotic Japanese electro producer 80KIDZ, Alec Empire-conspirator Nic Endo, and Danish DJ superstar Trentem�ller reconstruct these now familiar songs into new shapes.

"We would like to thank to all the participants of our anniversary gig: bands, fans and staff. Thanx to you all we were able to celebrate the 25 anniversary of Vader in so special way. Big thanx to fans for such a numerous presence, bands for fantastic shows they all played in Warsaw, guests for their appearance on this show and our crew for nearly 24 hours of hard work! It was a very important show for us, the more so because it took place in such a difficult circumstances. We were forced to give up an idea of recording DVD due to some technical issues. For technical reasons we were also unable to build a special stage scenery prepared exclusively for this show. Sorry for very long queues for food and drink and the high price of our energy drink - these things were beyond our control. The show ended up turning out well and despite these shortcomings we believe it was a success. Once again- thank you all! All the blood, sweat and tears poured into Vader have been worth it!

Topics include Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich, the Dimebag tribute at Ozzfest 2008, Bonnaroo, and Bruce Dickinson. The episode also features an interview Mark Strigl conducted "Rock and Roll Geek Show" host and former Exodus bassist, Michael Butler.

Currently scaring the crap out of delighted, beer-guzzling locals on their European tour, Baltimore quadrosphere Ponytail will soon return to their mother country to team up with Brooklyn lo-fi psych-duo High Places for a US/Canada tour in support of new album, Ice Cream Spiritual (We Are Free).

There hasn't been this explosive a pairing since Hydrogen and Hindenberg.

Wantagh SOS is very much an 'all hands on deck' grass roots organization that has already garnered significant support from local politicians and businesses, several leading community organizations, parents and students alike.

"Loyalty": I wrote "Loyalty" right after I left Korn. I was thinking about my life and how I started to sell out to things that weren't me. For instance, the last couple of years I was in Korn, I felt like I was writing songs to please the industry rather than myself. The second verse is about abortion because I was thinking back to the time I tried to have my ex-wife get an abortion when she was nineteen. Somehow, the two subjects blended well together and it worked out killer.
