Brent Hinds, Mastodon Co-founder and Former Lead Guitarist, Dead at 51

Damn, did not see that coming. Horrible way to cap off a life after all the Mastodon firing drama.

Fuck. Mastodon were a shadow recently without him, I was hoping for a reconciliation. Far too young. Far too talented

Fuck, that's sad. So young, and so soon after the firing. Didn't even have a chance to go on to his next thing. A great talent.

Well that fucking sucks.

sad news, wow. thanks for the tunes. RIP

So much stuff unsaid :

In March, the band announced that they parted ways with the guitarist. “We’re deeply proud of and beyond grateful for the music and history we’ve shared and we wish him nothing but success and happiness in his future endeavors,” the band wrote. (Hinds would later claim he was kicked out of the band.)

His claim was a lot of misspelt rage filled sour grapes.

‘Spectrelight,’ an over-the-top blitzkrieg with guest roaring from Neurosis’ Scott Kelly,”

Kelly was fired from Neurosis for abusing his family.

People around me yield. the right of way for shit!

No more stopping at a late yellow light and letting that poor fucker trying to turn left go.

Doubling up,(triple or quadruple) in merging lanes.

Man, I hate having to drive so much, lately...

Holy fuck. RIP to a legend

Genuinely gasped at this news, fucking hell 😔
