Once, at a party, I laughed a gulp of margarita right out of my mouth when this guy referred to Rolling Stone/Guitar World/Entertainment Weekly/Revolver/MTV writer Jon Wiederhorn as the 'hackiest hack that ever hacked.' I don't hate Widerhorn just everything he's written ever in history, and in a display of extreme pettiness went elsewhere than Headbanger's Blog for quotable material on under-the-weather Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher. Angry Ape is pretty hipster, but they do an awesome job on incomprehensible UK girl group drama. Plus for this story they have a geographical advantage so Angry Ape take it away:
Doctors in London have been monitoring his condition since November 3, which is "improving at press time." It's not known what is exactly wrong with Kelliher.This won't affect the rest of the band's tour however, as the remaining members - Troy Sanders, Brann Dailor and Brent Hinds - will continue as a three-piece.
To the members of Mastodon (above, it's blurry live shot day): A three-piece ... Ok fine but are you not aware that there are losers in bedrooms/basements all over the PLANET ready to step into Kelliher's role for a few nights? All those hours spent perfecting the (awesomely inventive) guitar parts on Blood Mountain weren't just in service of my sick fantasy world, dude; I have drugs for that. That tab book was like thirty bucks! Call me!
