Hellyeah
Biography
Heavy metal "supergroup" Hellyeah formed in 2006 in Dallas, TX, around the talents of Mudvayne's Chad Gray (vocals) and Greg Tribbett (guitar), Nothingface's Tom Maxwell (guitar) and Jerry Montano -- the latter also played with Danzig -- and Pantera/Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott. The group's debut self-titled debut was released in April 2007 on Epic Records. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

I really try to listen to Hellyeah but in the end I never like it. Too bad Vinnie.

hellyeah is kind of like that time that emmitt smith played running back for the arizona cardinals after the cowboys. he had a boat load of good years playing for the cowboys and kicked a lot of a**. then he goes to the cardinals after his career should have been over and has a few really crappy years. now everybody just wants to forget that it ever happened because it's embarrassing .

Hellyeah only has 2 "radio metal" songs. The rest of their stuff is too heavy for radio with the exclusion of one. Either way they really aren't even that good minus Tom Maxwell, which is an amazing guitarist. They are just fun to listen to.

I dont get what people see here. Just because some big name musicians get together and all their previous bands were good ..... doesnt mean this new "supergroup" is goin to be as good or better!? It may be exciting to hear on the radio but it will never be "heavy Metal" Maybe "radio Metal" at most...

Apparently I have the capacity to read. If I could not read, I would not be posting how dumb you are. Maybe if you had the capacity to spell correctly people would take you more seriously. You fail at everything music. Enjoy being laughed at while you stand proudly thinking you "Did a good job". Retard.
|
||
I like early mudvayne and pantera but the combo creates a band that f**king sucks
|
||
If you had the capacity to read, "crazycoolgu y ", you would understand that I claimed Mr. Gray substituted something that DID rhyme for something that would make sense simply for the sake of having a rhyme.
And Christian Olde Wolbers is known to use a 7-string guitar to achieve his low sound, with the extra string adding the "tightness" and clarity that one could expect from a 6-string, without sacrificing tone or muddying the mix. So you fail on two counts. My analysis stands as accurate. |

Wow...really ? You are dumb. I agree that this band is average, but you have to appreciate its over all effect. It has a good beat, good tone, and is just plain ol' fun to listen to. Lyrics don't have to rhym to be good. Phil Anselmo from Pantera never rhymed and Pantera was amazing. I could name numerous other bands that are amazing that don't rhyme in the lyrics. Oh, and by the way, you can never tune down too low. Fear Factory tunes to drop A and they are amazing as well.

Average in every single way: Hellyeah will continue to draw legions of fans with the mindset of, "lol omg hellyeh is teh best band eaver!! they'r so brutle!" because of the general public's fanatical worship of any and all things mediocre...a category which Hellyeah actually does excel in.
|
||
...entirely derrivative. To put it another way: They will be awarded no points for creativity by the judges. The lyrics suffer from a very similar fate. Mr. Gray too often substitutes something that rhyms for something that makes sense, often leaving a very choppy bunch of near-nonsens e which one would be hard pressed to find meaning in.
The album was thrown together on a whim in 3-4 weeks and it shows at every turn or the endeavor. Not even the great Vinnie Paul Abbott can save this one. |
||
Although they show a lot of heart and energy on stage, putting on a great show...their music leaves something to be desired.
They tune down far too low to make any sense...whic h not only is bad for the guitars, but muddies up their sound and forces the "Look how low we tune! We're hardcorz" view upon themselves, effectively substituting down-tuned guitars for good instrumental s in hopes of being more "metal". The riffs are simple though often catchy, but at ALL points in time they are enti |

it's not pantera nor mudvayne. but, i saw them in memphis and they kick a**!!!
|
||
whatever , give a break v paul , get it together . stop now or you know what happens . death to all concerned . be happy dont worry . life has just begun so you could not do better than this . try again
|
||
To say Hellya is Great... no. To say they're Horrible... no. Hellya is DIFFERENT. There will NEVER be another Dimebag, and there will never be another Pantera, get over it folks.

i have to disagree the music is put together nothing like mudvayne's and there are only a couple songs that are calm. to call them generic mall metal crap and comparing them to mudvayne is just plain ignorant. let me guess you guys think your some kind of music guru's and listen to the s**t bands that play at random and just yell into the microphone
|
||
its basically just MuDvAyNe Calmed down about 5 notches. zzzzzzzzzzz and yes is does listen to it with your ears open. Necrochrist is right!!!! Gimme A HELLNO!
|
||
