Hellyeah's Vinnie Paul Says Former Members Were Far From Driven

(Classic Rock) Hellyeah drummer Vinnie Paul says a lack of drive was behind the decision to sack Bob Zilla and Greg Tribbett. Paul says guitarist Tribbett and bass player Zilla didn't have the same drive as the rest of the band as they prepared to go into the studio to record upcoming new album Blood For Blood.

He tells Loudwire Nights: "We obviously had history together with Bob and Greg. When we got around to getting ready to go into the studio for this record we realized that they didn't have the same focus, they didn't have the same drive that we did.

"We weren't going to be able to make the record we did if they were still a part of it. It's kind of sad to say goodbye sometimes but sometimes to move forward you have to, and that's what we did." more on this story
