Chad Gray: new Mudvayne songs, Pantera reunion, HELLYEAH future, makeup, Slipknot comparisons

Mudvayne recently returned from an 11 year hiatus and frontman Chad Gray talks about what happened over a decade ago, what it feels like to be back and being embraced by the new generation of fans that fell in love with them through places like TikTok. Chad was also the singer for the metal supergroup HELLYEAH, which featured late Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul so we of course get into his thoughts about the remaining members of Pantera being out on the road touring without the Dimebag and Vinnie who have both sadly passed away. We talk about the importance of playing live, possible new mudvayne music and picks his bet for the Mike Tyson Logan vs. Paul fight. FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE to the podcast for weekly episodes!
