Mastodon paid tribute to their former bandmate, co-founding guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds, following his tragic death last week, with drummer and vocalist Brann Dailor making a speech onstage at their Alaska State Fair show on Friday night. Rhythm guitarist Bill Kelliher has now shared a tribute of his own on Instagram. He writes:
It’s been hard to get a grip on my emotions this week. We had our good and bad times just like in any relationship. All that we accomplished after that first fistfight in the van 25 years ago. I didn’t think you’d be taken from us like this, absolute loss of a true one of a kind guitar wizard extraordinaire.
keeping up with you taught me a lot. You were a brother, we were a family, you were a wild man not to be tamed, you could f*ck up bowling ball with a feather.
You weren’t perfect but you were always DIRTY-B!! Your vagabond/gypsy/wild child lives on through your music, I will miss your crazy ass Manimal
Mastodon also issued a statement following Hinds’ death.
Hinds had parted ways with Mastodon after 25 years back in March.
