Ultimate-Guitar.com recently caught up with HELLYEAH guitarists Tom Maxwell and Greg Tribbett to discuss the band's new album, Band Of Brothers, and working with drummer Vinnie Paul (PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN). An excerpt is available below:

UG: How did you feel that first time playing with Vinnie Paul?

Tribbett: "I won’t lie—I was nervous as fuck too."

Maxwell: "We all were."

Tribbett: "I was like, 'Cool. I’m gonna jam with Vinnie Paul right now. This fuckin’ rules.'"

Maxwell: "Then it was more nerve wracking after we had the record finished and he goes to me and Greg, 'OK guys time to play solos' (laughs). You want me to play solos to the brother of one of the greatest guitar players that ever walked the face of the earth. OK."

Tribbett: "I think I said straight to him, 'I’m not stepping in Dime’s shoes. I’m gonna be me and do my fuckin’ thing, man. That’s it.'"

UG: Were you truly nervous playing solos in front of Vinnie?

Maxwell: "That was fucking nerve wracking, dude. That was like the first real sweat I ever felt."

UG: You’re both remarkable guitar players but you’re not…

Maxwell: "…Shredding kind of acrobatic guys. We’re more interested in songs. You know what I mean? In the context of writing hooks and riffs. I mean I can do that stuff but…"

Tribbett: "We’re closet shredders."

Loyal Studios in Burbank has become a favorite for artists looking to produce high-definition greenscreen music videos. The two stages in Burbank and Santa Monica have a history of hosting great talents from JASON BONHAM to BRET MICHAELS, as well as producing videos for many others. Hellyeah is the latest to join the ranks, to shoot a high concept video for their new album.

“Hellyeah rocked our studios hard,” says Producer and CEO of Loyal Studios, Bob Bekian. “With our 2000 watt amplified playback system, the parking lot was literally shaking!”

“We shot this project with a series of cameras including the Canon 5D with Zeiss prime lenses combined with the new RED digital Scarlett,” Bekian added.

Loyal studios is a favorite for music video productions because of the high level of technical equipment and crew available to produce videos with the latest visual effects (“VFX”) and style. The studio quickly gained a reputation for being a place that has the best cameras, crews and technical support as well as a place where artists feel comfortable and free to express themselves. The new addition of a complete post production and editing studio inside the shooting location combined with their 75 HD camera systems has put Loyal Studios into a unique position to be able to offer a one-stop shop for Producers.

Hellyeah recently filmed new videos for two tracks from Band Of Brothers. A couple of photos from the set can be seen below:
