“Fu?k stick= Xristian Simon, from Faster Pussycat. Why? At 9:30 tonight. He was driving down the wrong side of the road, speeding in front of Nissan stadium. Slammed into, 2 cars. One of them my son’s car. Which had to be towed away. Everyone is ok, and safe. Thank God. He could of killed someone. Of course, they took him away on a D.U.I.”

NASHVILLE, Tennessee — Metal Sludge has received multiple reports that Faster Pussycat guitarist Xtristan has been arrested for driving under the influence.
The incident happened on January 22nd in Nashville Tennessee.
One annonymous industry source has told Metal Sludge that Xristan Simon, real name Christian Hudson lost control of his vehicle and hit multiple cars.
A second industry insider has confirmed that the musician was in fact arrested for DUI.
Faster Pussycat last made big headlines when bassist Danny Nordahl unable to perform was carried from the stage during a live performance.
Fans watched as Nordahl plummeted headfirst into the band’s drum riser.
Nordahl was not able to stand upright any longer from what was presumably too much to drink.
The video of the incident (seen below) went viral and garnered more hits than the band had seen in years.
The band is fronted by Taime Downe, the only orignal era member.
Downe and the band enjoyed their biggest success in the late 80’s with their hit “House Of Pain”.
Faster Pussycat will hit the road in 2019 performing in Australia, on the Monsters of Rock Cruise and a full U.S. Tour with support from Bang Tango.
No word on Xtristan’s court appearance or subsequent punishment as of press time.
Stay tuned and don’t drink and drive.
