Mastodon's ex-guitarist blasts former bandmates. ‘They sound absolutely horrible.'
Not even in the slightest (in Hinds's case). In March, the metal band made an unexpected announcement that they would be parting ways with Hinds after 25 years. Details as to what led up to the split have been scarce, but guitarist Bill Kelliher gave a brief statement to Guitar World as to what happened from his perspective. 'Like a marriage, sometimes people grow apart, and they get interested in other things,' Kelliher stated. 'We wish nothing but the best for Brent in chasing his dreams.'
Since then, Mastodon has been playing with guitarist Nick Johnston. As time has gone on, Hinds's anger towards his former bandmates has seemed to be growing. A comment Hinds left on the Mastodon subreddit has grabbed a lot of the fandom's attention. The guitarist responded in a long comment in response to a 2012 live video of his performance of a guitar solo for the song 'Crack The Skye. '
Not sure if this was posted yet, but saw this on a post Brent was tagged in. by u/Lippersickendog1 in mastodonband
'My Guitar sounds great, but Troy [Sanders] and prawn [a name for drummer [Brann Dailor] sound absolutely horrible,' Hinds wrote. '..they are way out of key ..embarrassing and they kicked me out of the band for embarrassing them for being who I am ..but what about who they are ?' He went on to write, 'I've never seen anyone in my life look in the mirror more than Troy Sanders. He thinks he's God's gift to anything. I've never met three people that were so full of themselves. It's disgusting.'
These sentiments echo what Hinds said on Instagram in June, when he stated, 'I [won't] miss being in a s--- band with horrible humans.'

Orlando Bloom Takes Cheeky Swipe at Katy Perry's Rumored Romance With Justin Trudeau on Social Media
Orlando Bloom applauded a tongue-in-cheek Instagram post that poked fun at his ex Katy Perry's rumored romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. 'Orlando Bloom Spotted at Dinner With Angela Merkel' was the headline of a story by the satirical news site The Onion. It featured a doctored picture of the Lord of the Rings star, 48, and the 71-year-old ex-German leader sharing a candlelit meal. The photo was captioned, 'Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancée Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.' The fake story reported, ' 'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night — he couldn't keep his eyes off her!' said an insider source who spotted the pair sipping wine, slurping oysters, and splitting a decadent piece of chocolate layer cake at a Michelin-starred restaurant.' In the comments section, Orlando posted a series of clapping hands emojis. The story was a spoof on the news that Katy, 40, and Justin, 53, are romantically involved after being photographed having dinner together in Montreal, followed by an hour-long stroll with Katy's dog. The hunky pol also attended her concert. An insider told People the two felt an 'instant connection' and 'have a lot in common.' Orlando confirmed he and the 'Roar' singer, who share daughter Daisy, 4, had broken up last month. Just days after the announcement, he was seen cozying up to Sydney Sweeney at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice. Solve the daily Crossword

ESPN will ‘no longer proceed' with Spike Lee's Colin Kaepernick docuseries: ‘It's not coming out'
Director Spike Lee's multi-part documentary series for ESPN Films about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who sparked a national debate when he protested racial injustice nearly a decade ago, will not be released, the filmmaker and ESPN said. 'ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences,' ESPN said in a statement to Reuters on Saturday. 'Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film.' Advertisement 3 Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree Spike Lee attends Harold and Carole Pump Foundation 25th Anniversary Celebrity Dinner at The Beverly Hilton on August 15, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California. Getty Images Lee told Reuters on Friday that the series was not going to be released. 'It's not coming out. That's all I can say,' Lee said on the red carpet ahead of the Harold and Carole Pump Foundation dinner, a fundraiser for cancer research and treatment, in Beverly Hills, California. Advertisement Asked why, the Oscar-winning director declined to elaborate, citing a nondisclosure agreement. 'I can't. I signed a nondisclosure. I can't talk about it.' 3 A television camera has a sleeve with the ESPN logo over its lens before the SEC Softball Championship Semifinals game between Oklahoma Sooners and Arkansas Razorbacks on May 9, 2025, at Jack Turner Stadium in Athens, Georgia. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Kaepernick played for the San Francisco 49ers from 2011 to 2016. He ignited a national debate in 2016 when he knelt during the U.S. national anthem to protest systemic racism and police brutality. Advertisement The 37-year-old athlete has not played in the NFL since that season. Many experts believed his political activism, which triggered a movement that drew the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump, was the key reason teams were wary of signing him. He later filed a collusion grievance against team owners, which was settled with the league in 2019. 3 Colin Kaepernick puts his hand over his heart in response to a comment at a special training event created by Kaepernick to provide greater access to scouts, the media, and the public at Charles. R. Drew High School in Riverdale, Georgia, U.S., November 16, 2019. REUTERS A representative for Kaepernick said the player had no comment about the docuseries on Saturday. Advertisement Production on the series began in 2022, with Walt Disney-owned ESPN touting it as a 'full, first-person account' of Kaepernick's journey that would feature extensive interviews with the player. In September, Puck News reported the project faced delays amid disagreements between Kaepernick and Lee over the direction of the film, and that ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro was open to allowing the filmmakers to shop it elsewhere.
