HELLYEAH: Video Footage From The Road Available

May 24, 2007

Video footage of HELLYEAH taking part in a signing session during its current U.S. tour has been posted at this location.

HELLYEAH's first official live performance took place Sunday night (May 20) at Rams Head Live in Baltimore. Security was tight at the venue for the band's live debut. Bob Suehs of Rock N Roll Experience, who attended the concert, wrote at his web site, "I've personally covered too many shows at this venue to even remember them all, and in all that time, I've NEVER seen security as tight as it was at this particular show! I had a photo pass and I even went through a very detailed search...entrance into the venue was slow because of this, but I assume it was the necessary precaution that Vinnie [Paul, ex-PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN and current HELLYEAH drummer] wanted after the tragic situation he experienced."

Suehs added that the last act he had seen with such tight security was MARILYN MANSON.

He wrote that the band played its entire debut album along with a cover of QUEEN's "Stone Cold Crazy". At one point the crowd chanted, "Vinnie, Vinnie," before changing the chant to "Dimebag, Dimebag," a reference to Paul's brother, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, who was shot to death onstage in December of 2004.

Paul pointed skyward during the chant, while singer Chad Gray told the crowd that "Dime was watching down on them."

HELLYEAH will join KORN and others on the Family Values trek this summer.
