HELLYEAH

There are Rock/Metal groups or bands out there and then there are supergroups - a mortley crew of top guns from different bands come together for one common purpose of making kick-ass genre bending music. Hell Yeah, baby. Today I am gonna talk about HELLYEAH, the super awesome Groove Metal juggernauts from Dallas, Texas, United States. Lets talk some history and background rock goss now - how HELLYEAH came to being and what bands the band dudes were engaged in previously before going on to form the Supergroup, HELLYEAH. Vocalist Chad Gray is from Mudvayne, the Math Metal/Groove Metal outfit from Peoria, Illinois. Guitarist Tom Maxwell is from Nothingface, an Alternative Metal band from Washington D.C., Drummer Vinnie Paul is from Pantera, the Groove Metal band in which he played with his late younger brother Dimebag Darrel, Bassist Kyle Sanders and Guitarist Christian Brady. Guitar Tech Marcus Rafferty and the band crew do a heck of background chores when touring and gigging up states-wide.

Guys got together and put up the supergroup's self-titled album in 2007. and the sophomore album Stampede came up in 2010. They have been doing good hitting the road between each album cycle. Since then, they have released "Band of Brothers" "Blood for Blood" and "Unden!able" in 2012, 2014 and 2016 respectively. Having invaded Rock Charts, we can say HELLYEAH is doing pretty good.

Blabbermouth.net reviewer Don 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 he thought the band's lyrics were repetitive. Hellyeah has been categorized as groove metal.

Blink-182 is an American rock band formed in Poway, a suburb of San Diego, California, in 1992. The trio consists of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker. The band is considered a key group in the development of pop punk music; their combination of pop melodies with fast-paced punk rock featured a more radio-friendly accessibility than prior bands. The group, with original drummer Scott Raynor, emerged from the Southern California punk scene of the early 1990s and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent lyrical toilet humor.
The band were initially known as Blink until Irish band Blink threatened legal action; they appended "-182" for no reason. Cheshire Cat (1995) led the band to tour with Pennywise and NOFX on the Warped Tour. Dude Ranch (1997) was co-distributed by major label MCA Records and featured their first rock radio hit, "Dammit". Raynor was fired midway through a 1998 tour and replaced by Barker. Enema of the State (1999) was an enormous success on the strength of hit singles "What's My Age Again?", "Adam's Song" and "All the Small Things", which enjoyed massive airplay and became MTV staples. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) reached number 1 in the United States, Canada, and Germany. The eponymously-titled Blink-182 followed in 2003 and marked a stylistic shift for the group, infusing experimental elements into their usual pop punk formula, resulting in a more mature sound. DeLonge left the group in 2005, sending the band into what was termed an "indefinite hiatus." The trio reunited in 2009 and their sixth studio album, Neighborhoods, was released in 2011.
Blink-182 has sold over 35 million albums worldwide. In 2011, The New York Times asserted that "no punk band of the 1990s has been more influential than Blink-182," stating that even as the band receded after their 2005 split, "its sound and style could be heard in the muscular pop punk of Fall Out Boy or in the current wave of high-gloss Warped Tour punk bands, like All Time Low and The Maine.
