Brent Hinds (ex-Mastodon) died last night.

holy shit...he had just posted that message about the mastodon singers not being able to sing too....

i've never cared much for the band but this is some crazy shit
 
No fucking way! Damn. 😪

Recent drama aside he was an incredibly unique and inventive guitarist, and left a huge footprint on modern metal. He's pretty high up there on my list of favorite metal guitarists ever.

RIP
 
Absolute shit to get taken out just by another driver's carelessness. I get that it may have just been a momentary lapse in concentration or whatever at just the worst possible time, but damn that sucks.

Yikes and after all that public smack talk he was doing lately. Sucks to go out like that with that stuff being unresolved and still hanging in the air. I personally was never a fan of his or his former band but I know many others who were.

This was my first thought as well. He as very talented, no doubt, but he also seemed to really struggle with the bottle.
Edit: Wikipedia says the driver of the other vehicle failed to yield. Whoever was at fault, this is a tragedy. I’m not a big Mastodon fan, Carly respect them, but 51 is far too young. We are but shadows in dust.
