HELLYEAH frontman Chad Gray (also of Mudvayne) doesn’t share the same views as Slayer guitarist Kerry King when it comes to this years ‘Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival‘. While both bands have been playing the festival’s most challenging year, King has called the bill “shitty”. Gray on the other hand stated:
“…Despite all the flying talk around mayhem it really is an honor and privilege to share the stage and tour with all these bands. Slayer, king diamond (my teen years) of course, devil wears Prada are fucking cool as shit and the second stage bands white chapel, thy art is murder, sister sin, jungle rot, shattered sun, feed her to the Sharks, kissing Candice ,sworn in and code Orange are all awesome as well. And heavy as fuck!
I’ve bought all these bands albums (at least the newest releases) and all are equally pretty fucking awesome. Metal is always here and everyone is bringing it as fucking hard as they can. If you have the means you should come out to the last few mayhem shows and get your fix of the legends as well as the newer bands. I’m a fan of metal so I’m just gonna be Switzerland on all the nay saying and shit talking. I have a ton of respect for all these bands and wish them all the best. RE-FUCKING-SPECT! Be awesome hellions! Chadnessss”
