Well, the details are pretty shady but from what I read back when it happened it seems that Hinds was completely wasted and was taunting one of the SOAD members. He took off his shirt and started hitting the guy with it until one of SOAD's entourage clocked him in the face, just about shattering Hinds' nose and then down he went.

Police were involved, SOAD were questioned and Hinds spent a lot of time in the hospital. I think there was a time that it looked like he may have been put out of action forever (with severe brain damage) but obviously that didn't happen.

And according to one of the Mastodon DVDs, after Hinds got out of the hospital he had to stay home and rest for a few months and he made a huge sculpture out of a tree with a chainsaw to pass the time. Which is pretty cool.
