System Of A Down Beating Puts Mastodon Guitarist In Hospital

It turns out that Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds' mysterious head injury suffered following the MTV Video Music Awards wasn't inflicted by random thugs, it seems the injuries that landed him in a Las Vegas hospital came courtesy of System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian and musician by the name of William Hudson.

A quick refresher for those that do not remember the original report, Hinds suffered brain hemorrhaging, a broken nose, and two black eyes as a result of the beating. The Las Vegas weekly did some digging and found out more about the incident as well as who is involved, they report: "an inebriated Hinds was leaving Mandalay Bay around 3 a.m. when he encountered Odadjian and musician William Hudson at the hotel's west valet area. Hinds took off his shirt and hit Odadjian with it, then struck Hudson in both the face and chest, prompting Odadjian to advise Hinds 'to relax,' several times.

"The police report then indicates both Odadjian and Hudson punched Hinds in the face, knocking him to the ground. An unidentified friend of Hinds, who reportedly witnessed the event, rushed to the musician's aid and apologized to Odadjian and Hudson, saying Hinds was 'just drunk,' according to the police report. Odadjian and Hudson were both questioned by police on the scene.

"No charges had been filed at press time, though the police report lists Hudson as a 'suspect,' facing a possible charge of 'battery with substantial bodily harm.' The police report lists Odadjian as a 'witness.'"

Oh that Mr Hinds.

[Gein]

I love Mastodon and I love System of a Down. But I was really wondering when Hind's drinking habit was going to get him injured.

[OzZY-RuLE5!!!!!]

looks like system of a down has been hanging around wu tnag clan and has caught on to their philosy. 'Nobody Fucks With The Wu-Tang Clan!'

[Mikke]

Hinds drinks to much. alkohol sucks

[mhylands]

Well, hopefully this all gets sorted out soon. System of a Down and Mastodon are both great, and I'd hate if something caused for either to "permanently" have to disband, (I do know of the SOAD hiatus).

[ComradSputnik]

Don't mess with Shavo lol

See i've always thought that System would end up in some form of fight against Mastodon. Just never that literally...

Damn, SOAD vs. Mastodon.

[AngerIsAGift06]

bahahaha this is awesome

[Dash-of-Panache]

But at least it wasn't like Shavo just randomly decided to take hinds' lunch money or something. He tried to resolve the conflict in a reasonable fashion, but when push comes to shove, he stood up for himself. And although there was significant injury inflicted, it wasn't like they went apesh*t all over him.

Yeah. IMO Shavo and Hudson did nothing wrong. Might be that I'm biased because I like SOAD more than Mastodon, I think they're more creative. But I doubt it really.

[redhawk1029]

owwwwwned

**** soad i hope hinds comes back and dummies both those hacks

[Scum-bag Carrol]

Hmm...hit him with a shirt?

[myfaceisagocart]

good ol' shavo

[XAnnoDomineX]

DAMN! Shavo rules. That's why I like System. Great music, funny interviews, and "be about it" attitude.

[in*limbo]

hate mastadon. so love that this happened. i wonder if hinds'll stop being a jackass now sum1 put him in hospital for a change.

[wiggyisgreat]

Oh dear...

[skindred]

id love to see hinds try that to phil anselmo lol

[ctb]

Uh-oh.

[zerodeck]

Shavo Odadjian is god:p love the man for this (in a non-gay way of course)

[b r y a n]

"Shavo Odadjian Ain't Nothin' Ta Fuck Wit"

[Firewind Raging]

Wow, Shavo and Hudson must have a good punch to cause brain hemorrhaging. I hope Brent gets help for his love of the booze and this gets resolved quickly.

[fastlanestoner]

Damn, sounds like he had it coming.

[GuitarJunkie]

well, maybe you shouldnt act like a dumb**** when your drunk, and then maybe you wont get the shit kicked out of you. lesson learned

[Forcemaster]

While it was wrong for Hinds to start being aggresive towards them.
There was no need to beat the shit into an inebriated bloke, that's just cowardly.

[KlRK HAMMETT]

damn, i never would of that Bill Hudson would do something like that...i guess he showed hes a shredder both on the guitar and the human body haha

[sebbsmith]

I prefer Mastodon times a million, but he probably had it coming.

****er probs deserved it.....

[Azwethinkwedo]

hinds should have kicked his ass with his 155 silver burst guitars

[metalisbest]

I love mastadon, but that Hinds was being a dick...

he got what was coming to him...

[kaptink]

Silly silly hinds, if he's not blowing up his amps he's getting drunk.

[Menza_]

William Hudson. . . .Isn't Bill short for William, and Bill Hudson is the guitarist of Cellador

[Ions]

Hinds had coming but...

I think the bassist in Mastodon could take the one in SOAD. I think Bill could take Daron. I think Brent could take Serj. but I don't think Braun could take the drummer in SOAD. But I used to really like SOAD but I really like Mastodon now.

[guitaristguy043]

why the heck would shavo mug anyone anyway?

[evening_crow]

I doubt the hemorrhage was cause by the punching...

My bet's that Hinds fell down or something and hit his head.

Checked.

[Metal_Hed_23]

haha shavo is so bad ass!

[kryzay311]

well, Shavo got hit first, and then he told him to relax, so really Hinds had it coming.

[nebraskan]

Do they mean Bill Hudson of Cellador?

[qotsa1998]

Stupid Brent. I luv both bands. But Shavo wasnt a witness if he got a hit in. And brain hemmoraging?? thats serious. Both should have charges brought against them.

Yea, Troy could beat up Shavo, Shavo's flippin skinny as heck. And so are most of the ppl System, except Jon. John's a big guy, and Brann is skinny and kinda small.

[InTheFlesh!]

gooo shavo

[jplay5]

when i read the headline, i was like what the f uck, but then i just read the story and realized shavo is beastly

[SquirrelJonGoff]

that made me laugh :p

[mr. riff]

Haha. As much as I like Mastodon I think Hinds deserved that beating. He's still awesome, though.

[Triviutallica]

Wow! i'm Speechless I love system but Shavo isn't a thug Brent likes his drink obviously and Shavo did tell him to relax and calm down so no one should get done for anything it was a silly brawl that ended in injury; mostly Brent!

[athlete1]

hudson could get in trouble?gay,hinds seems to have started it.

[Second Rate]

It's a real shame he didn't get beat up by the "little Japanese girl" from Dream Theater. Would have been a bit of poetic justice after this hack's Dream Theater tirade.

I think it's a little odd that even though both of them punched the guy in the face, only one of them is facing battery charges. Also... why is Hinds not being charged with "Drunken disorderly conduct" or whatever they call it in Vegas.

Nothing to see here except for an idiot guitarist getting his shit wrecked by other's trying to avoid an altercation with someone who has a drinking problem. This is what a wash up looks like in their initial stages ;D.

[Zerodin]

It does seem like Hind's fault, but since Mastadon is far greater than system of a down, fault automaticly changes to shavo.

[axeslinger01]

could William Hudson be Bill Hudson of Cellador?

[XxDiStUrBeDxX]

mastodon owns soad

[Monolith295]

Saw the headline, though they jumped him for no reason, but he was drunk and making an ass of himself, so he kind of deserved it, but not that badly.

[Monolith295]

Forgot this

Yeah, that's actually understandable, I was kinda pissed when I heard that he got beat up, but obviously this guy had it coming. Oh well, it's his own fault then, go Shavo!!!

[uprawrock]

Hinds could destroy Shavo, if he had been alone. Even being off his drunk ass. GO Mastodon.

And great job on over-reacting Shavo. and WHOEVER the other douche is

[thadedan(CFH)]

whats with all you idiots thinkin this is funny?? one of my friends was almost paralysed recently because he got a brain hemorrhage. i didnt find it too hilarious. bunch of jerks.

[sk8rMeTaLhEaD27]

i can't stand both bands so i don't even know why I'm in here..lol

[mchugh92]

i think hinds deserved a good beating but not that bad of one, after all he was disrespecting shavo and shavo told him to calm down but he didnt so shavo defended himself, but giving him a brain hemorrhage takes it a bit too far

[thycrusader]

i wish i couldve been there to see that. best day ever? i think so.

[blasphemus666]

o giv me a break! Shavo and that other dude were defending themselves. thatz it. wat would u do if sum drunk guy walked up to u and hit u in the face? it wasnt a "severe beating" it was a simple reminder of who he was messin with. thatz it.

What is with you people?

Since when did whichever band you like more become a starting point for which side you take?

[ready2breakdown]

damn their more gangsta than damn rappers! Rappers just talk shit and make bets about who will outsell who. I wonder if there will be the equivalent of a "Biggie and Tupac" situation out of this. lmfao.

haha thats pretty sweet. Now all that needs to happen is a Jack White Shavo throwdown

[poona]

Bah, I'm under the impression that Hinds is a racist redneck (he has offended a couple of Asians in an interview I heard), and SOAD are all Armenian, so...

But then again, he could have just been drunk (and racist!XD).

[spencerisyourki]

shavo should have whipped Hinds with his beard. that would have been more effective

[guitgrinder]

I wonder if Masto will lose any fans 'cuz they're "badass growling frontman" got knocked out by that whiney-voiced pussy who sings about the most Lonliest Days of his life. Being drunk is no excuse. If Hinds was that bad, he would :
1) Be able to control his alcohol and
2) Get up and start swingin' back

Now, if he'd popped a few pills AND drank, it'd be different. Either way, I'm kinda reminded of a certain incident between two lame-asses a few years back... what were their names? Trend Durst and Scott Crapp? Somethin' like that... except this is a bit more manly.

[scarfacesuit]

i he's drunk and being stupid, he deserves to be smacked around a bit. if he doesn't want to file charges, then the police shouldn't get themselves involved

[grim_necro_kvlt]

Nu metal V.S shity mainstreem metal....round one, FIGHT!

[Ultimate_Gio92]

SOAD vs Mastodon

one day....

Checked.

[ebbbaaa]

It wou;d've been funnier if Shavo choked him with his long ass goatee.

[outlaw metaler]

god i just lost a ton of respect I had for shavo
bretthinds is on of my favorite guitarists

but look at those injuries this show s abit more thatn trying to get a drunk brett hinds off your back
I hope shavo does some jail time for that

[burn the stars]

im all for the beating of drunks, but to cause his brain to hemorrhag? thats alittle much.

[555666]

hahaha, that tickled my funny bone.

[EllttEll]

this is probly one of the funniest things ever

[sictree]

hahah rugged

[d. b. cooper]

obviously it's Brent's fault for being a drunken idiot, but the brain hemmorhaging thing says that Shavo took it way too far.

[Frusconbage]

Apparently, SOAD wins musically AND physically.

[lmweed20]

shavos ARD

[gibsonLP68]

alcohol does suck. stick with the herb

[stanleybach]

I wonder if it means Bill Hudson from Cellador. I shall have to ask him if you beat up Mastadon's guitar player.

[guitgrinder]

He's so 'ard that in a week or two UG will have a headline that reads something like, "SOAD bassist apologizes to Mastodon's Brent Hinds" or "SOAD Bassist Hospitalized after attack by wooly mammoth."

wow, Hinds friend is a fag, if someone was beating up a freind of mine, id kick his ass.

This would make so much sense if Shavo had in fact ever sang in a song...ever. And if having one sad song makes you a pussy then that must make Ozzy an emo...

Damn, you're right... that was Daron. Whatever. He still allowed himself to play on the song, which makes him just as lame.

[Insomnia57]

You guys need to get off Shavo's back. He probably didn't mean to give Hinds brain damage. I bet they just punched him in the face and he hit his head on somthin. anyway, Hinds deserved the beatdown, maybe not the hemmorage.

Checked.

[Sinten]

Hinds deserves more than just a brain hemorrhage. he needs his teeth kicked out for what he said about dream theater, talentless POS.

[SL!!!]

Mikke wrote:

This is true. I love Mastodon so this upsets me. It upsets me more that those two idiots had to beat him to the point where he has brain hemorrhaging. Odadjin better ****ing get jail time. That is unacceptable for ANYONE to do. Neither of them needed to resort to that level of violence, or violence at all. He hit them with his shirt. OH WOW. They all need to grow up a bit. As does Stinten above me. Anyone who wishes bodily harm on someone else should have it inflicted on them. That is a stupid and immature thing to say. Bunch of idiots.

Oh, now that I read the last 20 or so posts I see some mentions. I literally stopped right before them. I stand corrected, lol, hit with a shirt..

[f***music]

this guy from mastadon must be really weak to get beat up by anyone from system of a down, those guys cant weigh over 500 pounds combined. of course the other guy prolly had something to do with it.

[Sinten]

Hi SL, i'll show sympathy for backwards drunken rednecks the day that they can make good music

[Slasher_Sloth]

hahaha I would've put money on brent being on acid as opposed to drunk.

anyways mastodon > soad so I guess he gets the benefit of the doubt.

yeah by the way if you call mastodon "shitty mainstream metal" then you've obviously never heard of remission.

his brain better not be permenatley ****ed cause he's written some great tunes.

[altophoenix]

System of a Down

SOAD? Rawk On!

thats strange, i cant say he didnt deserve it since he started it, but i love Mastodon and SystemofaDown, =/ i hope this doesnt start any stupid shit (it probably will, famous people fighting seems to do that)

i pity the fool

[IbanezGod007]

I didn't know how many people happened to witness this event. Can't help but to think about the greatest of greats. Were their legacies carried through the decades by drunken fight stories?

Point is, great musicians live through their music. Let's spend time supporting our favorite artists in a more constructive way, eh? If you took one minute for each post and put it towards a good tab... ... ...

[War Nerve]

[cherginator]

When I read the first paragraph, I was like "what the **** man, what a dick move by the SOAD bassist" but the stuff after that showed I was wrong

[BottleOfSmoke]

I love brent, and Mastodon could be my favorite band, but i think he had this coming. and its not the first time this has ever happened in the history of alcohol. I hope brent comes out fine and these guys make amends.

[Pukka-VCU]

don't ****ing blame alcohol for this, blame the person who abuses it.... I'm not taking either side on this one because

a) being a drunken belligerent prick is no excuse to pick a fight.... even with your shirt
b) two-on-one beating of a drunk is cowardly, especially when it results in severe damages
c) no one has heard the full story yet, we could be missing vital pieces of info

someone find Scooby-Doo and the gang

[stanleybach]

I asked Bill Hudson from Cellador and he said he had nothing to do with this. It's a different Bill Hudson.

If there was only a single thing anti-american or communist about Soad....and how can you say he needs to leave them alone, when he was defending himself?

thats ****ed up shit SOAD suck ass anyway just a bunch of guys who got lucky. beating someone in a team sucks anyway so bothe them dudes just showed us how mutch of a pussy they really are cant fight alone cant fight at all PUSSYS

If some drunken ******* attacks me I don't care how many people are with me. I'm gonna kick some ass. I have a weird feeling you woould also say he was a pussy if he didn't fight him.

A pussy isn't somebody that fights with help, a pussy is somebody who leaves it alone when some drunken idiot attacks him.

so true man, maybe he was just mad SOADs a joke, and mastodon has talent.

wow u guys are funny. i hav nothing agianst mastodon, there great. but SOAD and No Talent doesnt mix. SOAD vocals and drums are way better than mastodons. but its a little bit different style of music.

[bassplaya53]

its a good thong that shavo didnt get locked up cause hes a great bassist and it would really put pressure on the band in the future

[Ludynosa]

ive heard of mastodon, but never really been interested in them, so i obviously couldnt give a shit. but from the sounds of it, shavo was jus defending himself. and anyway, whos to say what punishment someone could take, maybe shavo didnt hit him that hard, but he fell and hit his head somewhere? i dunno, but its obvious it was self defence.

[|Heretic|]

Im sorry, but hang on guys. Shavo and this guy hit the Mastodon guy once. Wayyy not enough to cause brain hemorrhage. He probably hit his head hard on the curb or something. Hardly a prison offense, as Shavo was provoked, and didn't mean to do put the guy in hospital. Although, it won't get tried in an English Court, so i dunno what'll happen, not knowing the american justice system that well

[Dopey_Trout]

But at least it wasn't like Shavo just randomly decided to take hinds' lunch money or something. He tried to resolve the conflict in a reasonable fashion, but when push comes to shove, he stood up for himself. And although there was significant injury inflicted, it wasn't like they went apesh*t all over him.

oh yh cos givin a guy a brain haemorrhage isnt goin to town on him. Fu*k me, slap with a t-shirt = brain haemorrhage

Random.. What brought him into the discussion? For that matter, I'd like to see Anselmo act a fool and start hitting people with his shirt.. See how random? Anyway, who knows how reliable the whole story was but it seems like Mastodon boy had it coming. I also read somewhere that it was actually one of the Wu Tang members that Hinds started ****ing with

1 word pwn

[McLovin-]

haha
i didn't actually think odadjian was all that tough, nice one.!

[ObscureIkon]

Two black eyes,a broken nose,and a brain hemorrage.Now i've delt a few beatings and been delt a few and that doesn't sound like just a punch from each of them.So some shit talk and a shirt toss adds up to a drunken beating...I don't know about that,seems kind of low for the both of them to stomp his head in.Guess the Hudson guy wanted to show his ass for Shavo and Shavo thought,what the hell.On top of that,whats with Hinds friend...He should of been trying to help his friend,not patch things up for him,drunk or not...I couldn't just stand by and let someone I know get messed up...I'd say the police report if fixed up for seudo-celebs like themselves.That or the whole lot of them are weak as water...Sun rise,sun set,same for their bands futures...Guess mosh pits arent for some bands that inspire(or whatever)them...Shavo or Hinds,pick a fight with Lamb of God and let the shirt tossing begin...

[poop182]

Odadjian is a TANKBOSS

[MtLMkR]

haha, that potsmoking, shroomtripping, beerdrinkin bafoon. that's pretty metal.
