There's an assumption that once you've made it as a musician, no one will fuck with you. But that doesn't take into consideration what mischievous bastards other musicians can be, especially when drinks are flowing and the night moves into the wee small hours. Case in point, Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor has revealed in a recent interview that he made the mistake of falling asleep around former Slayer and current Misfits and Suicidal Tendencies drummer Dave Lombardo -- and awoke to find a penis drawn on his face.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about his feelings on the decade, Brann revealed his harrowing experience:

“[Don’t] pass out at a party that Dave Lombardo from Slayer is at, ’cause he drew a penis on my face with a marker," said Bran. "It was right after the Big Four did a Coachella thing [in 2011], a couple days before we started tracking our album The Hunter. And at a party with Lars Ulrich and all those guys, I passed out like a good boy. And I woke up, walked over to my hotel room and I had a penis drawn on my face.”

It wasn't Brann's only bizarre rockstar encounter of the 2010s. The drummer also revealed that he got to buy a drink for one of hard rock's greatest -- only to get stuck with the bill at the end of the night.

"I bought a margarita for Paul Stanley from KISS in Brazil," recounts Brann. "We played this festival called the Maquinaria Festival [in 2012] and then we were staying at the same hotel. I saw Stanley and the guys sitting at a table. So I went over and I said, 'Does anybody need a drink?' and Stanley raised his hand and said, 'I’ll have a margarita!' I got the whole shebang; one of those big crazy margaritas [that] had umbrellas and flowers in it and everything. And then those guys stuck me with like a $350 bar tab and they all took off."

We can only hope that the next decade involves fewer pranks for Brann. In the meantime, watch Mastodon tear up a tiny London dive bar in our K! Pit series:
