It took some doing to get Vinnie Paul into a band again. Nothingface bassist Jerry Montano approached the former Pantera and Damageplan drummer to be part of the all-star outfit Hellyeah several times before Paul — still mourning the December 2004 onstage shooting of his brother, Dimebag Darrell, at a Damageplan show in Columbus, Ohio — acquiesced.
“I’ve known Jerry forever,” Paul tells Billboard.com, “and he started calling me and said, ‘Dude, you’ve gotta be the drummer for this band.’ And I was like, ‘Man, I’m not sure if I’m ready to do this. I just started my own label (Big Vin Records).”
“But persistence pays off,” Paul continues. “He kept calling and finally one night he got me when I’d been drinking and listening to music. And I said, ‘This sounds like a great idea.’ The next day I talked to everybody and loved everybody’s attitude and said, ‘What the f*ck. I’m in!’”
Besides Paul and Montano, Hellyeah includes Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell and Mudvayne principals Chad Gray on vocals and Gregg Tribbett on guitar. All concerned say that Paul was the lynchpin for the group, whose self-titled debut album came out April 10 via Epic.
“It wouldn’t have been possible or feasible without him,” says Gray. “He housed us. He provided resources. He provided the studio, the engineer. He provided know-how … Everything we needed, really.”

""Alcohaulin' Ass" is one of the most kickass rock ballads ever" Wow, you obviously haven't heard of Skid Row. "probably the best southern/alternative/hard rock to have ever walk this earth" Down says hi.

no idea what the fucktards @ metalarchives had against Hellyeah - other than the obvious fact that they don't wear corpse paint - but they're definitly one of my favourites. kickass vocals, great riffing, nice simple solos and AWESOME southern atmosphere - what could possibly go wrong? Kickass band, kickass album, "Alcohaulin' Ass" is one of the most kickass rock ballads ever, and in conclusion, probably the best southern/alternative/hard rock to have ever walk this earth. "A little bit of sunshine, a little bit of booze a little bit of me and a little bit of you a little bit Country, a little bit of Blues a little slice of heaven and another piece of you." HELLYEAH
