Mastodon guitarist hospitalized w/ head injury

For the past two days there has been a rumor floating around that Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds was in the hospital with a head injury. Hinds was reportedly "jumped" shortly following the group's performance on Sunday night at MTV's VMA Awards in Las Vegas. You can read the apparent origin of said story here. Subsequently, Mastodon management has reportedly confirmed to Blabbermouth.net that Hinds is indeed hospitalized with a "severe head injury." No additional information has been made public thus far. Update: MTV.com is reporting that although his nose was broken and he sustained two black eyes in addition to his head injury, Hinds is expected to make a full recovery.

I like Mastodon and all, but that's what you get for playing at the VMAs, you shitheads.

RobertRedford 9/12/2007 10:09:07 AM

Mastadon and QOTSA should merge the way the Melvins and Big Business did.

rick_tocchet 9/12/2007 10:14:44 AM

apparently the foo fighters scheduled a show for the VMAs, and were just bringing in other bands to play also... mastodon + josh homme was on their stage at the end briefly

TripleSix 9/12/2007 4:11:34 PM

VMA? I bet it was Lenny Kravitz who did it to him. We all know how much Brent loves Lenny Kravitz. He even plays the same guitar!

HolyGhostOfAbraham 9/12/2007 7:20:11 PM

I thought he might have suffered another forehead tattoo injury.

FIST_CITY 9/12/2007 7:52:11 PM

britney spears sat on his head

thenumber12suckslikeyou 9/12/2007 11:58:51 PM

the foo fighters were given a suite to throw a party/concert in and they picked mastodon and queens of the stone age to play with them. i think 3 other bands/gays were given suites.... like kanye.

Dave2112 9/13/2007 8:17:52 AM

$20 bucks says its black guys. We are, after all, talking about the VMAs.

tardarm 9/13/2007 9:46:43 AM

^^^no it wasn`t a black man, it was a ignant porch monkey there is a huge differance

auspex 9/13/2007 8:40:41 PM

Whoever did this needs to get fcked up, soon.

Captain 9/14/2007 4:48:18 AM

Lol @ gays going "WHOEVER JUMPED HIM HAD BETTER DIE!". Who fcking cares? Mastodon are a joke anyway, someone probably gave Blood Mountain a listen and just couldn't contain their rage any longer

hardware 9/14/2007 11:09:53 AM

I'm very surprised there are no supporters on here and that puts a smile on my face. I don't understand why this band is so popular.

DiscoFucker 9/14/2007 2:23:42 PM

This idiot started the fight. He got what he deserved.

killseverybody 9/16/2007 2:55:12 AM

Blood Mountain is one of the best releases of '07. fcking incredible.

qmathdot 9/20/2007 8:40:36 PM

maybe if we're lucky he'll die.
