News: HELLYEAH UNVEIL NEW VIDEO FOR “I DON'T CARE ANYMORE" FEAT. DIMEBAG DARRELL


Heavy metal supergroup Hellyeah had finished recording the basic tracks for fifth album Unden!able when they started throwing around ideas for a cover song to add to the mix. Guitarist Christian Brady suggested the 1982 Phil Collins song "I Don't Care Anymore" and drummer Vinnie Paul burst out laughing - not because he thought it was a bad idea, but because he and his late brother Dimebag Darrell, both of legendary metal band Pantera, recorded the track around 10 years ago with their follow-up band Damageplan. The version went unused.


Hellyeah started piecing together a new version of the Collins single. They attempted to unearth Dimebag's guitar parts from the incompatible, circa-2004 computer program that housed them, which involved a three-week odyssey. Eventually, Vinnie Paulcould once again be heard playing alongside the legendary guitarist. "When Kevin (Churko, producer) got the tracks isolated, he synched them up, and when we listened them it totally gave me goosebumps" Paul says "We've always felt like he's been a part of this band since day one. We felt like his energy and his spirit was always with us. And for people to be able to hear him again in 2016 puts a big smile on my face".



"It was like Dime was in an iso-booth tracking in the next room while I was singing my parts" says vocalist Chad Gray "Tracking that song was one of the most magical moments I've felt in my entire career… After we recorded the first four vocal lines, Kevin called me on the intercom and said, 'I'm just gonna tell you right now. You're gonna be singing this song for the rest of your life. It's going to be amazing".
