Jackass<\/em> fame said he and Hinds were working on new music together before his death.<\/p>\n\u201cI am devastated and still processing the tragic loss of one of my closest friends Brent Hinds,\u201d Margera writes. \u201cAround the time Ryan Dunn died, I met Brent on the Soundwave Festival in Australia and said to him in a joking way \u2018you look and act like Ryan Dunn and we should just be best friends\u2019 and he said \u2018ok\u2019 and just like that we were.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his tribute, Margera revealed that he and Hinds were recording songs for a new album for goth metal band Amore Ad Lunam, with whom Margera had been doing vocals.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a privilege and honor working with Brent,\u201d he said. \u201cI cherish the time we spent together working on guitar tracks and vocals that we just very recently laid down together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Margera\u2019s memorial post also included a slideshow of images and videos he said was compiled together by friends Stevaughn Decay and Eman. The slideshow ends with a clip of Hinds accidentally breaking Margera\u2019s arm with a golf club.<\/p>\n
Hinds tragically died from a motorcycle accident on August 20 in Atlanta, Georgia. According to a report from the Atlanta Police Department, Hinds was riding his Harley Davidson through an intersection when a BMW SUV collided with him after failing to yield when turning at a red light.<\/p>\n
Hinds was best known as the longtime lead guitarist and co-vocalist for heavy metal group Mastodon. Earlier this year, it was announced that he had left the band after 25 years.<\/p>\n
