That's pretty fucked up. They haven't even started the tour yet, I don't think. Vinnie should call Bobzilla from Damageplan to pick up the bass for Hellyeah

According to HardDrive Radio, former DAMAGEPLAN basist Bob "Zilla" Kakaha has officially replaced Jerry Montano in HELLYEAH.

Although no explanation was given for Jerry Montano's departure, the group's publicist told Headbangers Ball Blog yesterday that "personal reasons on both sides" caused him to leave.

HELLYEAH drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, who played with Bob Zilla in DAMAGEPLAN alongside Vinnie's late brother "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, told MTV in January, "I told Bob after [Dimebag was murdered] that no matter what happens, I'm gonna find a way to play in a band with him again because me and him are just bros. It was kind hard to go ahead and commit to this band without Bob being part of it, but since Jerry was the bass player it was already set in place. And Bob's been really cool and understanding. And he's doing his tattoo shop in Texas right now. And some point in the future, we'll probably play together again."

Launch Radio Networks reports: HELLYEAH, featuring members of MUDVAYNE, PANTERA and NOTHINGFACE, begins its first headlining tour on Sunday (May 20) in Baltimore. The group is touring in support of its self-titled debut album, which came out last month. While the members of HELLYEAH aren't sure if they'll play songs from their other bands, singer Chad Gray ? who also fronts MUDVAYNE ? said they may pull out some other surprises. "We might do some covers, I don't know," he said. "You never know, like, kind of the vibe of this thing. I mean, you never know, we might break out a GUNS N' ROSES cover, we might break out a SKYNYRD, or hell, you never know, maybe some SLAYER. So, I mean, there's a lot of different things that this band represents, you know. It's just really all about having a good time. This is about giving people something to move to."

HELLYEAH, the new band featuring former PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott alongside members of MUDVAYNE and NOTHINGFACE, kicked off its "Fire It Up" tour Sunday night (May 20) in Baltimore. The group's setlist was as follows:

01. Hellyeah
02. Matter of Time
03. Goddamn
04. Stone Cold Crazy (QUEEN cover)
05. Thank You
06. Waging War
07. Nausea
08. One Thing
09. In The Mood/Star
10. Rotten To The Core
11. Alcohaulin' Ass
12. You Wouldn't Know

Bob Suehs of Rock N Roll Experience, who attended the concert, commented in his review: "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 wanted after the tragic situation he experienced, and to be totally honest with you, I don't blame him, and it almost reminded me of the strict airplane security after 9/11. I will be really curious to see if any bootlegs pop up from this tour, because the only other act I recall seeing with super tight security like this in recent years was MARILYN MANSON during the height of the band's career."

Another touching moment was, during a down minute where the band was getting ready for the next song, the crowd began to chant VINNIE, VINNIE, & Vinnie Paul seemed touched, then the crowd went into a DIMEBAG, DIMEBAG chant & Vinnie pointed up to the sky & Chad replied that Dime was watching down on them...that was just a surreal moment & it showed the unity amongst the real metal fans.

HELLYEAH drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott (ex-PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN) has issued the following report from the band's current tour:

"Well, finally the HELLYEAH tour has begun. Baltimore was the lucky first spot ? and Tom's [Maxwell, guitar] hometown ? so it was the perfect choice to bust our cherry! The venue, Ram's Head Live, was one of the most kick-ass live venues I have ever been too... state of the art.

"We all came in for sound check at 3 PM. and, as usual, when we started it sounded like shit and I could tell that everyone was nervous. We hung with it and nearly did the whole set, but got it done and everyone felt really good about it.

"Then it was show time. The venue filled nicely and early chants of 'HELLYEAH' could be heard from the crowd. This was a great sign and I knew we were gonna have a great show. The evening was kicked off by Jagermeister's Baltimore band, BEYOND THE SCAR. They did a nice job and had some cool grooves.

"Next up was BLOODSIMPLE, this band on Chad Gray's label Bullygoat Records, and we got a kick outta hearing their new stuff. It killed. We started our backstage warm-up, which included hitting some shots and brews, listening to some cool old-school metal and just going over the song endings that we worked up from rehearsals.

"The security man Krusher comes in and says, 'It's time to hit the deck fellas.' The crowd was chanting 'HELLYEAH! HELLYEAH! HELLYEAH!' and the venue was packed to the rafters. I gotta say, for the first time in my life I had butterflies.

"We kicked into our title track and theme song 'Hellyeah' and the room was full of energy and singing along, which was a surprise since the record had only been out a month... We grinded through 'Matter of Time' and 'Goddamn'. Then we got to the only cover we do, QUEEN's classic 'Stone Cold Crazy' ? which we appropriately changed to 'Stone Cold Wasted' ? and it went down great.

"We only have one record, so we played all 12 tracks, ending with 'Alcohaulin' Ass' and 'You Wouldn't Know'. Once again, the 'HELLYEAH' chant went up as we left the stage. It was truly an amazing night and I will never forget it. THANK YOU BALTIMORE!

"We also offered to autograph our CDs for our fans if they bought it at the venue. We didn't know we would sell all 120 CDs and would stick around for another hour and half signing, meeting and greeting, but it was worth it, as our new found friends made us feel right at home."

Remaining HELLYEAH tour dates:

May 27 - Madison, WI - Barrymore Theater
May 29 - Denver, CO - Fillmore Auditorium
May 30 - Omaha, NE - Sokel Auditorium
Jun. 01 - Wichita, KS - Cotillion
