Back in March, original Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds parted ways with the band after 25 years. Since then, Hinds hasn’t held back in criticizing his former bandmates, recently calling them “horrible humans” and a “sh*t band.”

Now, Hinds is once again slamming his ex-bandmates. In the comment section of an Instagram video featuring a live 2012 performance of Mastodon’s song “Crack the Skye,” he wrote:

“My Guitar sounds great, but Troy [Sanders] and prawn [supposedly Brann Dailor] sound absolutely horrible. 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?”

Hinds continued: “They are two people that can’t sing…together live or anywhere else in the world. Everything they try to sing in the studio is manipulated by autotune because they’re incapable of singing in key. F*ck these guys, only I know who they really are.

“They are the biggest fans of themselves. 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.”
