HELLYEAH: Amsterdam Show Cancelled

June 3, 2010

HELLYEAH has issued the following update:

"We, unfortunately, have to cancel our show at Melkweg in Amsterdam tonight (June 3) due to a family emergency Chad [Gray, vocals] had to fly back home for.

"We apologize to our fans in Amsterdam, and the rest of the band are trying to find a place where you fans can come by and party with us Thursday night.

"Chad anticipates making it out for the rest of our scheduled shows."

"Hell Of A Time", the first official single from the new HELLYEAH album "Stampede", is available for streaming below (courtesy of AOL's Noisecreep).

"Hell Of A Time" arrived at rock radio stations on Tuesday (June 1). Chad Gray told The Pulse of Radio that the concept behind the song is as simple as it gets. "'Hell Of A Time''s about that, man — it's just about, it's about what we are," he said. "I don't think that any song on the record encapsulates the record, you know, like, as a whole, like this one song is the whole record. But I think that 'Hell Of A Time' kind of encapsulates us, kind of what HELLYEAH is. Not so much the record, but what we are as people."

The band recently shot music videos for "Hell Of A Time" and "Cowboy Way" at the Longhorn Saloon in Fort Worth, Texas.

"Stampede" will be released in North America on July 13. The "super deluxe" edition of the CD will feature the album itself, a bonus DVD, a limited-edition lenticular 3D cover with an expanded booklet, a HELLYEAH bull skull, instant downloads of the album tracks "Cowboy Way" and "Hell Of A Time" on June 1 and an MP3 download of the full album on June 29, two weeks prior to its official release date. The standard "deluxe edition" will contain the album, a bonus DVD, instant downloads of the album tracks "Cowboy Way" and "Hell Of A Time" on June 1 and an MP3 download of the full album on June 29.
