VINNIE PAUL Says New HELLYEAH Album Is 'About Three-Quarters Of The Way Done'
January 26, 2010Affliction Clothing's web channel "Affliction Vision" sent OZZY OSBOURNE/ex-ROB ZOMBIE bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson to this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 14-17, 2010 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. His interview with drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott (HELLYEAH, PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN) can be viewed below.
According to Vinnie, he and his HELLYEAH bandmates have already recorded about three-quarters of their next album. Vinnie promises that the work they've done so far on the record is "great," and says fans should expect an album by June, with an 18-month tour to kick off in May.
The hard rock "supergroup," which also features MUDVAYNE singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett, NOTHINGFACE axeman Tom Maxwell and DAMAGEPLAN bass player Bob "Zilla" Kakaha, issued its 2007 debut through Epic Records.
Abbott, who bounced back with HELLYEAH from the devastating 2004 murder of his brother and bandmate "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, said about the band, "The guys from HELLYEAH and the incredible music we've created have brought me back to what I love . . . The vibe is positive with a kick-your-ass attitude."
HELLYEAH's self-titled debut has sold more than 350,000 copies since arriving in April 2007.
