WHITESNAKE: Drunk? Woman Files Lawsuit After Slipping On Vomit At Bands Show!

According to South Wales Argus, Lindy Butcher (39) slipped on vomit and injured herself. The accident occurred during a WHITESNAKE concert that took place in December of 2011 in Newport, Wales, United Kingdom. Reportedly, Butcher has sued the local council because of her injuries: she claims that she suffered bruising and soreness to both of her knees, as well as muscle spasms between her ribs. This is what she had to say about the incident:

"It was horrifying, you don't expect to fall in someone's vomit."

The Newport council says they did what they could to prevent this incident:

"It would appear the presence of vomit was reported to staff by a member of the public," a letter from Newport council's legal representatives said. "One of the bar staff tried to call for a cleaner. However, it was extremely busy in the bar and cafe areas. In the absence of any detail concerning the actual whereabouts of the vomit and with so many people in the bars, it was difficult to pinpoint immediately where the vomit was located."

What do you think about this incident? Let us know at the comments section below.

Paul Bostaph's BLACKGATES Announce NEW Bassist

East San Francisco Bay Area/New York Metal outfit BLACKGATES, featuring former ANTHRAX singer Dan Nelson, drummer Paul Bostaph ex-TESTAMENT, EXODUS, SLAYER, FORBIDDEN, and guitarist Jeremy Von Epp, have enlisted Luis Barillas as their NEW bass player.

Bostaph says of Barillas, "Luis is a veteran of the Bay Area Metal scene and a welcome addition to the band". Von Epp added, "He's got that Steve Harris/Geezer Butler vibe on the bass which fits perfect with what were doing, not to mention that he's a solid dude". Nelson also added, "Luis is an amazing bassist and a perfect fit for the BLACKGATES sound. He's a true bro who you know from day one will have your back in the trenches."

Bostaph previously stated about BLACKGATES:

"As you can see by our studio blog #1. We're currently hard at work writing the rest of the material to record and release a record this year. we are shopping for a label at this point. The NEW material is friggin' heavy. We can't wait to unleash it on you! The music is definitely maturing and we are honing in on our sound. The first 3 songs we released were literally the first 3 we wrote. They were written musically without a vocalist. Now that we have Dan, the NEW songs are really heavy as hell and have great hooks! That being said. We're looking to play our first show in May and will be playing all our NEW music. Stay posted and we will update you all as we lock the first show in. Hope to see you all on the road Cheers!"

- Paul Bostaph



BLACKGATES earlier in the year finished mastering its first demo, which the band recorded in the San Francisco Bay Area with producer Tim Narducci (SYSTEMATIC, SPIRALARMS).

BLACKGATES is:

- Dan Nelson (ex-ANTHRAX): Vocals/guitar
- Paul Bostaph (ex-TESTAMENT, SLAYER, FORBIDDEN, EXODUS): Drums
- Jeremy Von Epp: Guitar/Vocals
- Luis Barillas: Bass

Paul Bostaph's BLACKGATES Release Studio Update - Video Available!

As previously reported Paul Bostaph's NEW project is called BLACKGATES, and it features Anthrax's previous singer Dan Nelson, guitarist Jeremy Epp (The Venting Machine) and bassist Uriah Duffy (Whitesnake). The group is currently in the studio working on the pre-production part of their debut album. This is what Bostaph had to say about this NEW project:

"Our sound is drawn from all of our influences. Mostly, we don't want to be a Thrash Metal band, although we draw from that genre as well. There is something in our music for everyone. Heavy grooves, good hooks and Dan's killer pipes. I think we have an independent sound that will stand on its own."

Today, the band released a video update regarding the current progress of their debut album:



BLACKGATES is:

- Dan Nelson (ANTHRAX): Vocals/guitar
- Paul Bostaph (TESTAMENT, SLAYER, FORBIDDEN, EXODUS): Drums
- Uriah Duffy (WHITESNAKE): Bass
- Jeremy Von Epp (THE VENTING MACHINE): Guitar/Vocals
