Former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle has been acquitted of failing to register as a sex offender and lying on a driver’s license application.

Pyle tells the Florida Times-Union he was more stressed out waiting for the verdict than he was after the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members.

Pyle had pleaded guilty in 1993 to attempted capital sexual battery and lewd assault charges on two young girls.

Pyle says he will ask Florida’s governor to set aside that plea.

One of the girls is Pyle’s daughter, who is now 20.

She not only was in court Friday to support Pyle, but says the crime never happened. She says Pyle pleaded guilty because the state offered him probation.

D-J A-M had been poised to become M-T-V’s newest personality.

He still could, after death, if M-T-V runs the series he’d been working on.

In “Gone Too Far,” he was helping teens get sober.

Just one month ago, D-J A-M, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, told the Associated Press that it wasn’t easy being around the drug paraphernalia the teens would have in their rooms.

But, he said it helped him stay sober.

He said — quote — “there’s no better way to remember what it was like at my bottom than to see someone at their bottom and to help them, to help lift them up.”

He said he had been sober for 11 years.

“Gone Too Far” is supposed to start October 5th.

Authorities say it will take weeks to get the results of toxicology tests before they can determine what killed D-J A-M.

An autopsy performed on his body on Saturday was inconclusive.

A law enforcement official tells the Associated Press police found a crack pipe and prescription pills in the New York apartment where D-J A-M’s body was found Friday.

D-J A-M was on the same plane as Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker when it crashed last year outside Columbia, South Carolina.

Barker says his brother is gone and he’ll never forget the good times they had.

Mandy Moore, who used to date D-J A-M, says she’s “absolutely heartbroken.”

D-J A-M was to star in an M-T-V reality show in which he helped families stage interventions for drug abusers.

M-T-V has not said if it will still air as planned in October.

New evidence has surfaced regarding the death of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones.

The B-B-C reports police in Sussex, England, have received new documents relating to Jones’ death 40 years ago.

Jones was found dead in a swimming pool and the incident was ruled death by misadventure.

Rumours have circulated ever since that Jones was murdered.

A police official says the papers are being reviewed, but it’s too early to tell if the investigation will be reopened.

Noel Gallagher has quit Oasis.

On Friday, he had posted a note on the band’s website saying he couldn’t work a day longer with his brother Liam.

The next day, he said “the level of verbal and violent intimidation” towards himself, his family and friends has become intolerable.

He did not give details on what that meant or who was behind it.

His second posting does not mention Liam.

Several European concerts have now been cancelled.

Ace Frehley says that his upcoming C-D, Anomaly, probably wouldn’t exist if he hadn’t given up drugs and alcohol. He credits a phone call from his daughter three years ago, in which she simply said, “Dad, you know, it’s time to clean up,” as the first step on his road back to sobriety. And he tells us the album’s release date, September 15th, falls on the third anniversary of his “clean date.” He calls it “a nice little icing on the cake.”

Ace will play The Viper Room in L-A September 12th, and is currently working out the details for a fall tour that should start in October. “We’re still tweaking them, so I really can’t announce them yet.”

Rob Zombie’s fourth feature film, Halloween Two, hits theaters today. Zombie’s new take on the ’70s horror classic was a surprise hit back 2007, as it made 31-million dollars in its first four days out and set a new mark for Labor Day weekend. That set the path for this sequel, which once again sees famed slasher “Mike Myers” stalking his sister and trying to avoid “Doctor Loomis.” But don’t expect Zombie to direct a third film in the series. He tells the Hollywood Reporter, “I’m done with Halloween. I get off the Halloween bus with this one. This wraps up everything I wanted to do.”

Up next for Zombie is the D-V-D release of his animated film The Haunted World of Superbeasto on September 22nd and an as-yet-untitled new album on November 10th.

Gene Simmons says the Canadian media is responsible for upsetting the KISS fans in Oshawa, Canada when that town was not on the band’s original itinerary after it was the top vote getter in an online poll to determine what cities the band would play. Simmons says, “I’m really pissed off at the media for creating this nonsense. Now the story’s going to come out as a kind of, ‘Gene is complaining about the media’ (story) — you’re God damn right I am.” Simmons said they had no intention of skipping Oshawa on their Alive 35 tour. “We’ll tell you when we’re ready, not when you’re ready, that’s not how you do things. You have a birthday coming up and you want to know, ‘What’s my birthday present?’ (No), settle down, take a pill, relax. We’ll let you know what it is — not when you want. It’s show business.” The show will take place on October 7th, with Simmons promising the premiere of their new album, Sonic Boom. He also promises a second leg of the tour, which starts on September 25th in Detroit.

U-2 have moved their Friday, September 25th show at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey to Wednesday, September 23rd because of the rescheduling of the New York Jets football game on Sunday, September 27th 2009 from 4:15 p-m [ET] to 1:00 p-m [ET] out of respect for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, which starts that evening. It takes two days to take down U-2’s massive stage and the original 4:15 start of the football game gave the crew enough time to load out. The change to 1:00 made it logistically impossible. The September 24th show is not affected. U-2 start the North American leg of their 360-Degrees tour on September 12th in Chicago.

Earlier this year, former Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner put together a new version of the band called Over the Rainbow. It features Rainbow founder and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore’s son, Jurgen Blackmore. At first the elder Blackmore gave his blessing to the project, but then he had a change of heart. Turner tells Classic Rock magazine, “Certain people — two of them — who are very close to him started to put ideas into his head. Then Ritchie suddenly became very antagonistic. Things got so bad that he insisted Jurgen — his own son — couldn’t use the name ‘Blackmore.’ Jurgen’s full name is Jurgen Richard Blackmore — it says so on his birth certificate. So, he ended up sending a copy of that to Ritchie, to prove he had every right to the name. Thankfully, that’s all behind us now, and everything’s back on an even keel.” Ritchie Blackmore now plays renaissance music with his wife as Blackmore’s Night.

The Cranberries are getting back together, but it’s technically not a reunion because they never broke up.

The four original members will reform for the first time in seven years for a tour and an album.

The announcement comes just as O’Riordan releases a solo album this week called “No Baggage.”

In an interview with the Boston Herald, guitarist Tony Iommi says, “We love ‘War Pigs’ and ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Paranoid,’ but we’ve played those for 40 years so it’s been a nice change.” But he adds that “maybe next year we’ll do some of the old stuff.” Heaven and Hell are down to the last three shows of their summer tour — tonight in Wallingford, Connecticut, Friday in Boston and Saturday in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Stump was arrested Tuesday night during a traffic stop in Los Angeles.

He was released from jail after posting 15-thousand dollars bail.

A judge issued a warrant for his arrest at that time.

Stump’s publicist could not be reached for comment.

With all the attention being paid to Steven Tyler and the broken shoulder he suffered earlier this month after falling off the stage in South Dakota, little has been said about guitarist Joe Perry and his recovery from knee surgery at the end of last year. Like Tyler, Perry also fell off the stage, but his fall was over 20 years ago in Dallas. He finally had the knee replaced, but then it became infected around the holidays last year. But he says he’s “great,” adding that “it’s cleared up and strong as it can be. I’m ready to play.” Perry is looking to play some shows this fall in support of his fifth solo album, Have Guitar Will Travel, in stores October 6th.

When KISS asked fans to vote online for which cities the band should play, Oshawa was the top vote-getter in Canada. But it was left off the band’s itinerary when the tour was announced on Monday. After complaints from fans, KISS has added the city to their schedule on October 7th. City Council member Robert Lutczyk tells Sun Media, “I knew Gene (Simmons) would come through… There was a disconnect but everything is back on the rails. It doesn’t matter what happened — they are being true to their word.”

In a statement, KISS says, “After the outpouring of emotion we saw, there was no way we could follow our original plan and make you wait until a later tour leg. You’ll now be getting a special record release show. Oshawa, we promise a good time.” The Alive 35 tour starts September 25th in Detroit.

Black Label Society have dropped off the Pedal to the Metal tour because of Zakk Wylde’s week-long battle with blood clots. Wylde updated fans via Twitter, saying that at this point he needed to go to a hospital “every 48 hours to check my blood. Had a C-T scan [which revealed I] have blood clots in each of my lungs as well as my leg. [I] can’t sing because pushing can cause an embolism.” The Pedal to the Metal tour, which includes Mudvayne and Static-X, will continue on without Black Label Society. It hits San Jose Friday.

Lynyrd Skynyrd will celebrate the September 29th release of Gods and Guns with a C-D release party and performance at the Beacon Theater in New York on October 1st. Ticket buyers for the show will be able to purchase an autographed copy of the new album. Skynyrd perform in Sparta, Wisconsin tomorrow night and St. Paul, Minnesota on a bill with Kid Rock on Saturday.

It’s understandable if people in Oshawa, Ontario are rocking all night and partying all day — it looks like they will get their Kiss concert after all.

Mayor John Gray says he spoke to Kiss manager Doc McGhee and was assured a concert is scheduled for October 7th.

Thousand of people cast votes online to get Kiss to play a concert in the city.

But the good news turned bad when they were told the closest Kiss would get is nearby Toronto on October 2nd.

Gray suspects the band wasn’t prepared for the amount of negative publicity they got for skipping Oshawa.

And it could use some good news for a change.

The city, which is the home of G-M Canada, has been hard hit by thousands of layoffs.

Steven Tyler says if there had not been a barricade around the stage when he fell, he probably would have been all right.

Tyler tells Rolling Stone he remembers fans grabbing for him when he fell off the stage in Sturgis, South Dakota, on August 6th, but the barricade was in the way.

He says at any other Aerosmith show he probably would’ve been caught and thrown back onto the stage naked and without jewellery.

His arm is in a sling and he says he’s on all the drugs he’s not supposed to be on, but he swears he was sober that night.

What about recent reports of him in a liquor store?

Tyler says a friend died and he paid for booze for the wake, but he bought none for himself.

Scars on Broadway are doing a tour of U-S bases in the Middle East — but without frontman and songwriter Daron Malakian. The band’s other guitarist, Franky Perez, is handling lead vocals and says that Malakian “has other commitments in the States. He has given us his blessing to go perform and supports the cause completely.” Malakian canceled Scars on Broadway’s debut tour back in October 2008, saying “his heart [was not] into touring.”

Michael Jackson used to demand “milk” before bed — but he meant a powerful anaesthetic, not actual milk.

A law enforcement official tells The Associated Press a combination of the anaesthetic propofol and two sedatives (lorazepam and midazolam) are what killed Jackson, and his death is considered a homicide.

A search warrant affidavit reveals Jackson’s physician, Doctor Conrad Murray, told investigators he treated Jackson for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of propofol every night.

He thought Jackson was becoming addicted, so he lowered the dose and added the other two sedatives.

Murray told detectives the sedatives alone were not working for Jackson on the day he died, so he gave him the propofol.

Within 15 minutes, Jackson had stopped breathing.

T-M-Z is reporting that onetime KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent is again suing Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, this time throwing in the A-and-E television network for good measure. Vincent, who was in the band from 1982 to ‘84, is claiming KISS used his image without permission on their KISSology Volume Two D-V-D as well as in an episode of Gene Simmons Family Jewels, which airs on A-and-E. He also claims Simmons defamed him during an interview on Private Sessions, another A-and-E show. He is seeking unspecified damages. A spokesman for KISS was unavailable for comment. The guitarist, whose real name is Vincent Cusano, sued the band — unsuccessfully — over royalties in 2006.

Guitarist Joe Perry denies rumors of Aerosmith’s demise. Writing on his Twitter page, he says, “Aerosmith is not breaking up! We are just on hiatus till [Steven Tyler] gets his health back. We just don’t know how long. I’ve heard three-to-eight weeks just for his [broken] shoulder.” He adds that they want to make a new album and then tour. “But it’ll be awhile till he’s 100-percent. We owe it to our fans, the band’s history and to ourselves to do the best record we can. And everyone that was waiting for us this summer we owe them the greatest show we can deliver with new songs, a new set, the works.” Aerosmith pulled the plug on their summer tour earlier this month after Tyler fell off the stage in South Dakota, breaking a shoulder blade and cutting his head.

The tour continues tonight with the first of two shows at New York’s Terminal 5.

Multi-instrumentalist Larry Knechtel of the band Bread has died of an apparent heart attack in Yakima (YAH’-kih-mah), Washington.

Knechtel won a Grammy, but not for his work with Bread.

It was for his piano work on the Simon and Garfunkel hit “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

Weezer raised some eyebrows when they announced that the title of their new album was Raditude. Rivers Cuomo says the band didn’t come up with the word — it was his friend Rainn Wilson from the N-B-C sitcom The Office. Cuomo tells Billboard, “[Rainn] has a super-rock persona. When it came time to find a title for the Weezer album, I asked him what he thought the ultimate album title would be, and he said Raditude.” Raditude is due out October 27th.

Two have gone to number-one — “Best of My Love” in 1975 and “Love Will Keep Us Alive” in 1995.

Alice Cooper says he respects the decision made by the management of a venue in Finland to ban him. Speaking to Australia’s Undercover News, he says, “It was one city in Finland where the venue happens to be very conservative. You know what, because I’m Christian myself, I just turned the other cheek.” But, he admits that he doesn’t understand it. “If I were doing [Shakespeare's] Macbeth would it be okay? Everybody would say, ‘Macbeth is fine.’ Well, Macbeth is about twice as bloody as anything I would do… There is nothing in my show that can be banned or I would have been banned all over the world.” He did move the December show to a venue in a suburb of Helsinki. Cooper is in Sydney, Australia tonight.

Sonic Boom, The first new one from KISS in 11 years, will follow on October 6th. When asked by Classic Rock magazine if he thought the timing was unfortunate, KISS singer-guitarist Paul Stanley said, “For who? This album took us months to do, that album took Ace 15 or 20 years to do. I can’t say anything about the timing. I hope Ace is happy, and I think it’s terrific that he’s alive. Anything else past that is a bonus. I wish him well.”

Frehley is well aware of the new KISS album and he heard the first song available from it, “Modern Day Delilah.” He tells the Rock n’ Roll Experience, “I thought it was a good song. Paul’s always been a really good writer. I believe they said that all the new songs were going to sound like stuff from the ’70s, and I didn’t get that. The new song sounded like something they did in the ’80s. That’s what I got, but I thought it was a good song.”

It was shot in Los Angeles between April and June as Jackson prepared for the London concerts that were to begin in July.

He died June 25th.

There’s a report that Steven Tyler may have fallen off the wagon. The Boston Herald quotes a source as saying, “Truthfully, he’s a liability for the band. He’s uninsurable because of all the accidents and cancelled dates.” The paper goes on to say that the other band members want nothing to do with him until he cleans himself up. Another source tells the paper, “Everyone is very worried about him. All of this didn’t happen overnight. [The fall off the stage earlier this month in] Sturgis [South Dakota] was just the final straw.” In addition to the broken shoulder suffered in Sturgis, which led to the cancellation of the tour, Tyler tore a leg muscle earlier in the tour, resulting in seven postponed shows. And in the spring, the band had to stop recording its next album after he came down with pneumonia. Last year he entered rehab for painkillers after undergoing foot surgery. Spokesmen for Tyler and Aerosmith were unavailable for comment.

Roger Waters narrates and is featured in a 15-minute documentary on the humanitarian impact of the West Bank Wall that sits between Israel and Palestine. Walled Horizons had its premiere Wednesday at a theater in East Jerusalem, the first World Humanitarian Day and fifth anniversary of the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on the Wall. In the film, Waters says, “The reason for walls is always fear, whether the personal walls that we build around ourselves or walls like this that frightened governments build around themselves. They are always expressions of a deep-seated insecurity. It fills me with horror, the thought of living in a giant prison. We don’t need no thought control.”

Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil doesn’t think too highly of Axl Rose and his treatment of Guns n’ Roses fans. Neil says Rose’s string of no-shows and canceling tours must be why Chinese Democracy was not a hit. He tells the U-K Sun, “For it to fail was pretty crazy after so many years of being recorded. Then the tour got cancelled. A buddy of mine went to go play guitar for him. They rehearsed for three months and Axl never once turned up. Rule number one: show up! He’s been doing that for many years. Finally I think the fans just went, [screw] it — can’t do this anymore.”

Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins has drafted Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro to play in his new side project, Spirits in the Sky.

You’re venturing into sacred territory if you want to remake something associated with The Beatles.

Variety says that’s what could happen with the “Yellow Submarine” animated movie.

It says Robert Zemeckis plans to remake “Yellow Submarine” by using a certain type of 3-D.

It’s called “performance capture” and it’s what he used in the new Jim Carrey version of “A Christmas Carol” that’ll be out in November.

Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey are continuing to perform without Travers.

Yarrow says they don’t sing Travers’ part and he’s delighted when the audience sings it for them.

After so many months on the road, Daughtry finally remembered what it was like to have a day job.

Singer Chris Daughtry says they spent about six weeks in Los Angeles writing the new record.

They would go to work and write during the day, then come home to their families at night.

He says they also wrote non-stop on the road and when they weren’t together, they’d phone each other with ideas.

Drummer Brian Craddock says they write music that’s familiar to 20-year-olds and grandmothers alike.

The new C-D is called “Leave This Town.”

Spector is serving life behind bars for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson.

Eddie Van Halen has entered the world of online social networking. Writing for the first time on his MySpace page, he says, “Janie and I had a very special and amazing wedding here at the house with our friends and family… It was one of the biggest and best moments of our lives. Our European honeymoon was just as wonderful — it was good to see Amsterdam again.I had hand surgery and arthritis treatment in Germany and recovery is going extremely well.” As for making new music, he writes, “[My brother] Alex [Van Halen], [and son] Wolfgang [Van Halen] and I just started rehearsing up at the studio again. It feels great to play and my hand is getting better every day. I am not entirely up to speed yet, but I am getting there.”

Gene Simmons has landed another movie role, but this time he’s off-screen. On his website, he writes, “[I] recently was proud to have been asked to come in and do the ‘howling’ voice for Universal’s The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. What I saw looked terrific…” Simmons is a fan of the original Wolfman, which starred Lon Chaney Junior. “[He is the] son of the legendary Lon Chaney Senior. Chaney Senior was called ‘Man of a Thousand Faces’ and, for me, was a pivotal figure in my childhood. So much so, that I wrote a song called ‘Man of a Thousand Faces’ on my 1978 solo album and my production company (which signed Van Halen, when I found them in a club, and other artists) was also called Man of a Thousand Faces in homage to Chaney.”

Simmons may have another off-camera role, as he says he was “asked to do the voice of the ‘Dragon Spirit’ in M. Night Shyamalan’s forthcoming Airbender movie. This may or may not come to fruition. We’ll see.”

Nineteen-year-old Mike Byrne will make his debut on the next Smashing Pumpkins album and tour.

Smashing Pumpkins had an open call for drummers in April, and Byrne put his name in then.

He says his audition consisted of 15 minutes of jamming and 15 minutes of talking about Fugazi.

Byrne is not worried about his age being a factor, because he says Billy Corgan’s approach to music has always been a fresh one.

Byrne will join Corgan for six solo shows in California starting next week.

Heaven and Hell guitarist Tony Iommi will go under the knife once the band’s tour ends. He tells Aquarian magazine, “It’s sort of a major thing I need to get done, and I’ve been putting it off. The cartilage has gone from the thumb in my fingering hand. It’s been like that for a year, to be honest. I’ve been taking an anti-inflammatory and all sorts of stuff to try and calm it down. But…the bone is rubbing on the bone.” Iommi consulted with Eddie Van Halen, who recently had a similar operation. “He thinks it’s very successful, so we’ll see.”

Heaven and Hell are in Chicago tonight.

A Superior Court Judge said Monday that he’s leaning toward allowing a jury to decide whether the couple deserves punitive damages from real estate agent Gregory Holcomb and Sotheby’s International Realty. But the judge wants to consider the matter further before making a final decision.

Slash and his wife Perla initially filed the lawsuit in November 2007, alleging they were not given proper information about the home.

Everyone needs a backup plan in case the dream job falls through — even Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden.

That’s why he became a licensed pilot.

At the time he wasn’t with Iron Maiden and was genuinely looking for an alternative career.

Dickinson calls himself a straightforward pilot.

He says if he’s been flying for an hour over clouds, he doesn’t see the point of waking up the passengers to tell them they’re flying over Frankfurt.

Because he flies to places like Djibouti and Kyrgyzstan, he doesn’t run into a lot of fans.

He says he had the president of Sierra Leone on his plane recently and had to explain they were delayed, but nobody said, “Hey, you’re that guy from Iron Maiden!”

Iron Maiden have a live D-V-D out called “Flight 666.”

“These Are My Twisted Words,” the Radiohead track that leaked on the Internet last week, is indeed a new song — and it’s now available as a free download through the band’s website. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood says, “We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished. We’re pretty proud of it. There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practicing, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it.” Radiohead are returning to the stage Friday in Austria in the first of five European festival appearances.

Robert Plant has been named a vice president of the Premier League’s Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. The announcement was made before last Saturday’s game against West Ham United. Plant, who has followed the team for 55 years, said, “First of all, I’m flattered, but I’m embarrassed to be honest. There are so many other people who are so important and relevant to the club, especially the people I sit next to in the stands. They’ve seen so many more games than me and they’re able to keep a closer eye on what’s going on.” Plant refused roles with the team on two previous occasions — in the late ’70s because, he said, he didn’t feel comfortable with being on a board; and in 1982 his name was linked with a takeover of the team along with E-L-O drummer Bev Bevan.

KISS will say goodbye to Detroit’s Cobo Arena — which is slated for demolition — with an ALIVE 35 show at the legendary venue on September 25th. It was at the Cobo complex in 1975 where KISS recorded Alive. Tickets go on sale at 5 p-m [ET] on Friday at Ticketmaster. The show is in celebration of the new KISS album, Sonic Boom, on sale October 6th exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores. Gene Simmons says, “Sonic Boom may be the best new record we’ve done since Destroyer! It is Rock and Roll Over meets Love Gun. The world’s biggest retailer had better get ready for the hottest band in the world and hire more cashiers before October 6th!”

Gene just got back from Singapore, where he had meetings to stage a KISS show in Las Vegas. On his website, he writes, “What kind of show, you ask? What kind of project is it? You’ll have to wait a little longer to find out. But what we can tell you is that we already have a Vegas hotel that will be the first home of the project. We intend on taking the show around the world to different stages…perhaps in different languages.”

Billy Corgan has confirmed long-standing rumors that 19-year-old Mike Byrne will be the new Smashing Pumpkins drummer. Byrne has drummed with a number of indie bands in his native Portland, Oregon, and tried out as part of a search looking for a new Pumpkins drummer. Corgan said Byrne stood out from more than a thousand drummers answering the call for auditions, and that he “seemed to have that X-factor that all the great drummers have — a stunning blend of power, speed and grace.” Byrne began working with Corgan on demos a few months ago, leading to speculation that he was the band’s new drummer. Byrne said, “I’m super-excited to be playing with the band. Dream come true, man.”

Byrne steps behind the kit formerly occupied by Jimmy Chamberlain, who left the band, reportedly amicably, in March. Corgan is now the last of the original members who remain with the band.
