Mastodon guitarist's fight was w/ SOAD bassist

According to a new report in the Las Vegas Weekly, the injuries sustained by Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds earlier this month were actually the result of scuffle with System Of A Down bassist, Shavo Odadjian. The site provides this account of the incident: "According to the police report—based on firsthand accounts and corroborated by hotel-security video footage—an inebriated Hinds was leaving Mandalay Bay around 3 a.m. when he encountered Odadjian and musician William Hudson at the hotel's west valet area. Hinds took off his shirt and hit Odadjian with it, then struck Hudson in both the face and chest, prompting Odadjian to advise Hinds 'to relax,' several times, according to the police report. The police report then indicates both Odadjian and Hudson punched Hinds in the face, knocking him to the ground. An unidentified friend of Hinds, who reportedly witnessed the event, rushed to the musician's aid and apologized to Odadjian and Hudson, saying Hinds was 'just drunk,' according to the police report. Odadjian and Hudson were both questioned by police on the scene." Hinds was hospitalized for several days following the incident.

carnivoresince84 9/21/2007 10:33:48 PM

here's what happened...the system of a down dude was just pissed at the government so he beat up the mastodon dude because mastodon has better things to right songs about...like whales...

carnivoresince84 9/21/2007 10:34:10 PM

i'd be pissed if i was in the worst band ever...he probably doesn't eat meat either...he probably thinks animals have rights...what a cheese-dck...i hope the mastodon dude gets well soon and eats tons of meat...

baobab 9/21/2007 11:47:59 PM

whoadude 9/22/2007 2:33:11 AM

i trust hind's judgment if they needed to be hit with a shirt or not. Odadjian obviously had it coming.

phobophile 9/22/2007 3:55:21 AM

haha, what the fck are you talking about? hinds is an jerk, and you're a gay for trusting his judgment. and odadjian had it coming? brent is the one who got his shit wrecked.

conduit 9/22/2007 8:22:42 AM

Mastodon are a great band. Remission is an amazing album, however that guy is a c-ckbag. I'm sure he got what he had coming to him.

Dave2112 9/22/2007 10:16:54 AM

This jackass obviously has a serious fcking problem. This really doesnt help the PR for Mastodon, they need to get this idiot into treatment for kick his bearded ass out.

nwtso_johnny 9/22/2007 10:24:14 AM

This has got way too much attention, he should have died...

forumdrama 9/22/2007 4:03:58 PM

I remember a time when all you gays were sucking Mastodon's dcks. It's cool to hate on bands that start getting popular.

khann 9/22/2007 4:44:56 PM

Kind've funny to hear about it....but soad still sucks ass.

_atab_joey_bishop_ 9/22/2007 6:03:05 PM

holy shit, every person that posted a comment here can't spell and is a fcking numetal gay arguing mastodon or soad is better. THEY BOTH SUCK gayS, eat shit and listen to better music. pathetic fcks.

auspex 9/22/2007 7:15:23 PM

Are this many people seriously arguing that SOAD>Mastodon? My faith in the human race diminishes every fcking day.

ShaolinLambKiller 9/22/2007 11:11:54 PM

gayry ..

destroythehippies 9/23/2007 3:31:53 AM

hahaha fck that

Dave2112 9/23/2007 9:27:22 AM

There are like four VS post,gimme a break. And my arguement isnt against Mastodon, its about the stupidity of a apparent alcholic they have in the band.

blackpower 9/23/2007 9:59:53 AM

Was Mastodon ever good? Seriously now, be honest. They've always been really lame and boring. Their popularity only made them a more well known lame and boring band.

mattmyblood 9/23/2007 6:07:40 PM

Balconycollapse 9/23/2007 7:02:19 PM
