Sleazeroxx.com reports: The drummer of rock
band AC/DC has escaped a criminal conviction because it would hurt his
career - despite admitting he assaulted his former partner in Mount Maunganui.
Phillip Rudd, who was born Phillip Hugh
Norman Witschke Rudzevecuis, pleaded guilty to one charge of common assault
when he appeared in Tauranga District Court yesterday.
The self-employed musician pleaded guilty
after police reduced the charge from the more serious offence of male assaults
female, which attracts a prison sentence of up to two years.
But Judge Robert Kerr discharged Witschke,
53, without conviction. His lawyer, Matthew Ward-Johnson, successfully
argued a conviction would have a significant impact on his client's musical
career and therefore outweigh the gravity of his offence.[see full story

Blabbermouth reports: SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR
frontman Corey Taylor has confirmed that he has been working with ANTHRAX
on material for their upcoming studio album.
Speaking to Germany's Rock Hard magazine,
Taylor said of the possibility that he will become the new ANTHRAX singer,
"It's been banded about. I'm not saying anything right now because all
it's been is just talked about. Obviously, I'm really good friends with
those guys. It kind of started as a joke. And then the more we talked about
it, the more serious it got. I'm gonna at least help them out. It's kind
of a dream come true ANTHRAX is one of my favorite bands. We're just
kind of taking baby steps right now. [he still has a lot more to say, see

punkbands reports: This story isn't about
your favorite band or a band you want to whine and bitch about, it's about
a store that most likely sells their merchandise. The thing is... no one
shops there. There's a story on CNN.com talking about how Hot Topic is
trying to change its image to attract the consumers who have moved on (to
Hollister most likely).
"We still describe our stores as edgy but
they're not as foreboding as they once were," James McGinty told CNN. "Our
new stores don't scare you away."
...For those who care, Hot Topic's sister
store Torrid (a fat girl's Hot Topic) is doing better. Go figure.[see full
