I fukkin 🖤this picture so much and it perfectly encompasses how I feel about my band of brothers in @hellyeahofficial who today released their new album WELCOME HOME via @eleven7music and sadly it’s the last drum recordings of idol turned friend @vinniepaul3 ▪️But if ya know me, I look at shit in a positive way b/c what’s the other option, and I believe when someone as gigantic as Vinnie passes his spirit, music, compassion & passion for life FOREVER LIVE ON. Vinnie got to finish his musical contributions on a high note. He was so excited for his brothers to go in there and top off the brick foundation Vinnie set before his untimely & heart breaking passing. ▪️So as you read this I hope to Dime that you are listening to, absorbing, and hearing the hurt AND healing that is happening w these songs on the new HELLYEAH. I want to say how proud I am of my friends @chadnesss @maxwellhellyeah @christianbradyhellyeah @iremain69 for powering through the loss to find light and LIFE. From “333” to “Skyy And Water” it’s a full blown tribute to one of the greatest HUMANS (not musician) to ever WALK the Earth. ▪️I’d like to invite you to check out @siriusxm this week as we’re celebrating big time on two stations @sxmoctane & @sxmliquidmetal you’ll hear new #hellyeahband as introduced by the band, guest DJ picks (how do you like hearing fukkin @slayerbandofficial on Octane!?!), and Vinnie Paul tribute clips throughout. Over on #sxmliquidmetal we’re going nuts and doing TRIPLE SHOTS of Vinnie every hour!!!!! 3 VP songs in a row all goddamn week only on SXMLM!!! @panteraofficial #damageplan #rebelmeetsrebel ▪️So here’s a toast to THE MAN, Vincent Paul Abbott, on the day his final album is unveiled to the world. We love you brother and we miss you, but we all know that your beat continues on. ~ jose #metalambassador 🙏🏽🤘🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/B27kuIRhUos/?igshid=xposd38kyv1b
