Mastodon’s Brent Hinds gets in another fight
Monday, September 22nd, 2008
Be sure to visit our music blog Crib Notes for Chad Radford’s hilarious report on the altercation last Thursday between Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds and garage rocker King Khan (pictured).
“He said ‘Do you know who I am? I am the greatest guitar player around,’ and punched me in the face.”
Most people who aren’t professional boxers manage to go through life without a having a single publicized fistfight. Hinds has now had three (1, 2, 3).
You’d think the greatest guitar player around might be more careful with his hands.
