Hellyeah

Hellyeah is a heavy metal supergroup, consisting of Mudvayne vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett, Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell, Damageplan bassist Bob Zilla, and former Pantera and Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul.

(taken from Wikipedia)
Paul described the band's sound as "a familiar groove, with a new sound". Blabbermouth.net reviewer Done Kaye commented "with little of the complexity of Mudvayne or angularity of Nothingface and much more of the full-on, pedal-to-the-metal style of Vinnie Paul's previous work" However, Kaye said the songs "Star" and "Thank You" border on musical cliché. Andrew Depedro of KNAC.com stated ""Alcohaulin' Ass" showcases Gray’s hidden talent as an outlaw country and western-type crooner in the intro", although thought the band's lyrics were repetitive.

I just bought the album today and I was actually pleased with what I heard. Has anyone else heard of them?

Might as well be an actual piece of shit.

From the band name to the music; bland, uninspired, boring bs.

I don't love it, but do I like it. I guess it's because of my fondness for Southern metal like Down and Corrosion of Conformity and the like.

I think Down are awesome, I thought Pantera were great, Mastodon are one of my favourite bands.

I just think Hellyeah make shit music. That said, I think Vinnie Paul is just capitalising on everyone liking him more cos he's Dime's brother. I lost respect for him when he sold an unreleased Dimebag solo to Nickelback.

Really? I didn't know that he sold one of Dime's riffs.

Then again, I don't listen to Nickleback.

Neither do I, it was in Metal Hammer.

Whenever they're mentioned, my friend and I always say, "Hellyeah? More like HELLNO!" Vinnie Paul deserves a kick in the nuts by the hoof of Satan.

That still staggers me. So much head shaking when i heard about that.

Alcohaulin' Ass is a horrible song...

Just wanted to put that out there...

He sold an unreleased solo to Nickelback? puke

Hellyeah is a party band. That's how I see their music. Pretty fun live, though. I was drunk, though..

I haven't heard much of them. The music was decent, but the problem with it is that its boring. It isnt necessarily bad music, its just I have heard it all a million times. Hellyeah is a boring band, and I could definitely live without em.

I'm only familiar, to my knowledge, with Alcohaulin' Ass but that song kicks.....ass.

Over produced un-inspired crap. I really dont know who this band appeals to. It sounds like a hollywood band doing a pepsi sponsored halftime show.

Or better yet, this band reminds me of a show which aired on E...,supergroup

It appeals to people from the South, quite frankly, Rage.

People from the South of America. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that kind of music blaring out of a trailer park.

A "goo" thing?

why, because the band says they are southern rock?

Lol I thought it was a WWE album or something when I first saw the title....
