Which is the better Chad Gray band – Mudvayne or Hellyeah? That’s the question we want to know as part of this week’s Chuck’s Fight Club on the Loudwire Nights radio show.
Mudvayne was the first Chad Gray band to reach our radar. Back in 2000, they released their major label debut album L.D. 50 and quickly made a name for themselves with an energetic stage show and capturing the imagination of fans with their MTV2 Award winning-video for “Dig.” They released five album before going on hiatus after 2009’s self-titled set and delivered such standout singles as “Not Falling,” “World So Cold,” “Happy?,” “Forget to Remember,” “Fall Into Sleep,” “Do What You Do,” “Scarlet Letters” and “Scream With Me.”

With Mudvayne on break, the all-star collective Hellyeah became Gray’s main band along with Mudvayne guitarist Greg Tribbett. Their self-titled debut arrived in 2007 featuring “You Wouldn’t Know” and “Alcohaulin’ Ass. The group issued six studio albums before splitting after 2019’s Welcome Home, which was issued after the death of drummer Vinnie Paul. The band scored hit singles with “Hell of a Time,” “Sangre Por Sangre,” “Moth,” “Hush,” “Human,” “I Don’t Care Anymore,” “Love Falls” and the “Welcome Home” title track.
