Bad news for Mastodon fans

[Bxlxaxkxe]

Looks like Mr Hinds has left the band. I don’t listen to them anymore but they were a massive part of my musical life back in 2008/2010

I feel bad for whoever has to replace him and learn those parts - he had his own unique and often complicated approach to playing.

Most people seem to think he’s just over being in a metal band which he has openly stated recently.

Most of his parts will be hard to replace....better get Billy Strings.

Also, how is this bass related?

Band is as good as over now then for me. I LOVE this band. But in recent years they decided to make Brann the vocalist. In fact Brent thought that’s what they needed. The BEST stuff they did was when Brent, Brann and Troy sung. Sad day.

 

[japetus]

He will be back lol

Mastodone

I think he’s irreplaceable

Huge impact on my musical and personal journey

this is no different than big bands of the past breaking up after a long run.....its how you get the big bucks for the inevitable original member reunion 15 years down the road

 

[LPMojoGL]

Wonder if they are looking for a replacement

 

[ZEEGLER]

This is very bad. I love Mastodon, but Brent is at least 50% of why they are so damn good. Bullshit!!

 

[ZEEGLER]

I'm really fucking upset about this.

It's going to be a very long audition process to find someone else as mentally unstable as Brent

 

[Floyd Eye]

Troy Sanders is the bass player.
