Who is hellyeah

Revolver Magazine was one of the first print publications to feature the band in March The self-titled track, "Hellyeah", started gaining satellite radio airplay in February , and the first single "You Wouldn't Know" hit American radio airwaves the same month. The band's self-titled album, Hellyeah was released on April 10, via Epic Records. The album debuted at 9 on the Billboard album charts, with sales of just under 45, As of October 18, , the album has sold , copies. Hellyeah received generally positive reviews.

William Ruhlmann of Allmusic awarded the album three and a half stars out of five, commenting; "Their album is a competent example of its genre, in which Tribbett and Maxwell combine to create crushing riffs over the pummeling rhythm section of Paul, while Gray howls typically enraged, expletive-littered lyrics to songs".

However, Ruhlmann believes Hellyeah is not a notable variation from members' previous bands. Kaye thought that Hellyeah's first studio effort was not equal to any of its members' main output. KNAC contributor Andrew Depedro stated "it's a set of good songs recorded by 5 accomplished musicians from diverse backgrounds not letting their pasts define them and those songs in one form or another speak to you in different ways". Bassist Montano left Hellyeah a week after the album's release.

The band's publicist stated his departure was due to "personal reasons on both sides" The band considered Damageplan bassist Bob Zilla as Paul thought; "It was kind hard to go ahead and commit to this band without Bob being part of it". Zilla was invited to audition and got the gig immediately. Hellyeah embarked on their first tour on May titled Fire it Up, made an appearance at the Download Festival, and underwent Australian tour in July Right now, we have no label.

We have no management. We cleaned house. We're free and clear. It's actually very exciting, because now we hold all the cards; we're in control. So we can write whatever we want. Mayorga, also a Stone Sour member, stepped in for late Hellyeah drummer and Pantera icon Vinnie Paul after the heavy metal supergroup released its first album following Paul's death, 's Welcome Home.
