"...Hinds, who was in attendance, spontaneously joined them on guitar. "Brent was fucking around with Arish's guitar," says Klein. "Arish dumped a beer on Brent's head, and then after the show was over, Arish went outside and was like, 'Hey man, sorry about the beer. Let me buy you a drink.' And Brent said, 'Do you know who I am?' And Arish said, 'No, not really. Kind of. I don't know.' And Brent said, 'I'm the greatest guitar player alive.' And Arish said, 'Well okay man, but this is all about our friend BJ, you know?' And he went to walk away and he got sucker punched. Split his lip open."

Aw man, couldn't at least one of the parties involved in this be in a band I hate? Damn it.

EDIT: Haha, this is crazy:

Before leaving for the hospital, Klein approached Hinds. "After I got Arish an ice pack and some salt water to swish out, I went up to Brent and was like, 'Hey man, that was a little bit fucked up," she said. "We gotta go to the hospital and get stitches instead of hanging out, this night, with our friend. The least you can do is pay for his stitches. It's like $150 [to] walk in.' He was like, 'I only got $80.' I was like, 'Okay.' He was like, 'It was a dick move, but I'm a dick sometimes.' He gave us the cash, which was cool. It was nice of him to do that.

"Then we went to the hospital, and the bill was actually $2,700," Klein said, laughing.

Somebody's really gotta get King Khan some health care coverage or at least teach him how to sew.

 You are correct, sir.

 I like Mastodon, but that guy isn't the best guitarist in the southeastern United States, much less the world.

 Also, he should pony up the for the rest of the ER bill.

 Again to clarify, I like Mastodon. I even paid retail for their last three albums. But they're no Lightning Bolt.


Lightning Bolt!

The man lives in Germany now, he's just visiting.
