Hellyeah is the debut album by the heavy metal band Hellyeah, featuring members of Pantera, Mudvayne, Damageplan and Nothingface. According to Rockdetector the band finished album recordings in January 2007, and the single 'You Wouldn't Know', went to U.S. radio in late February.[1]
"You Wouldn't Know" is about the difficulty of maintaining one's integrity in the profit-obsessed music industry and "Thank You" is a shout-out to all of the band's recently departed family members: Vinnie's brother "Dimebag Darrell," Maxwell's mother, and Gray's grandmother.
The album debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200 selling 45,000 copies in its first week.[2] As of September 26, 2007, it has sold 188,670 copies in the US.[3]
