Really cool how active chad was with you in this interview. He wasn’t phoning in questions or rushing you, he gave you the time and respected your project, really fucking cool. Been a huge fan since 2000

Like Chad said, THIS is YOUR moment. I believe you deserve this opportunity in every way and the future for The House Of Masks.

Chad is one of the coolest guys I ever seen in my whole life. He is completely out of the line! Usually those rocks stars are so cocky and arrogant and when you see this guy talking in interviews he is so gentle. What a great guy!

Mudvayne one of my personal favorite bands! L.d. 50 was ahead of its time imo which is why it’s in my personal top 5 metal albums of all time! Honestly even the later stuff like A New Game really grows on you after a few listens! Overall big fan of Chad Gray so thanks House Of Mask for the interview.

New Game is One of their Best's.

I had the opportunity to meet Chad and Vin at a festival in Atlanta several years ago. I was with Morgan Rose (Sevendust) and we hung out in the bus area after the show. I’m talking with Jason Hook from FFDP and Chad jumped on my back. So I carried him around the parking lot for a bit. Had a few beers with him. Vin was cooking hamburgers for people on a grill outside their tour bus. Such a great bunch of guys. Very down to earth. It was a great night for sure. Very cool interview AJ.

Hadn't realized how well spoken Chad can be. Hell of an interview, and I'm HAPPY that Mudvayne are back. They were a significant piece of my teenage life.

Technical problems aside, this is a terrific interview. Mudvayne is one of my favorite bands and Chad's a phenomenal vocalist. I'm seeing them in Fort Worth, Tx. in a couple weeks. I'm so pumped to see them and Static-X.

Despite the audio problems, this was a really great video. I know I’m not unique when I say that I’m not the biggest fan of hellyeah, hell I’m not even the biggest pantera fan. But it’s really heartbreaking to hear Chad’s perspective about losing Vinnie Paul, am I’m very grateful he decided to bring MuDvAyNe back

I saw Mudvayne open for Slipknot in 2000 and I’ve been a fan since. I’m glad they’re back.

52 years ago I heard Black Sabbath playing in a Macy's day parade and I've been a metal head ever since. Glad to see you guys back and better than ever!

Freaking awesome that chad took the time for this interview, he gave honest and passionate answers and didn’t just Mail it in. I love it, I love that he treated you like he would treat a major publication and I was already a huge fan and this just added to my fanboy status! Good job AJ pushing through the obstacles and getting it done

I bet it made your day getting life advice from Chad Gray without even asking for it. This man is living breathing proof of what hard work, dedication and motivation can do for you. Thank you for interviewing one of my childhood heroes man.

I remember seeing Mudvayne at Download/Ozzfest 2005… Was such a privilege… And later on the same stage saw Slayer, System Of A Down and Slipknot… Damn those were the good old days… ❤️‍🔥

I've seen Hellyeah twice, never thought I would be able to see Mudvayne live. Exited to see they're back together. Chad is such a great human ❤️

Same I can’t wait to see them in Houston TX

I can still remember hearing LD50 for the first time and being blown away. My older brother bought the CD back when it came out and I listened to it over and over again. That album changed my life, and is still in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. They stopped touring before I could buy tickets myself, so I waited over twenty years to finally get to see them live and they played mostly LD50 songs. When the opening riff to Nothing To Gein flowed out of the stacks I. LOST. MY. SHIT. Goddamn, what a phenomenal show. Worth the wait.

Chad is the fucking man! Sick interview, humble dude and happy you got to meet a legend. Stay metal everyone 🤘🏼

one of the best interviews ever! I LOVE MUDVAYNE! I can't believe they're back. IM FEELING HAPPY!

Awesome interview, you could feel Chad's passion. Hell, I could listen to that dude talk all damn day! Say no to drugs and alcohol, and yes to Mudvayne and Palefest!

Dude thank you for doing the interview, Chad is freaking awesome. I've always been a huge fan.

It sucks when things out of your control take away from what you wanted to do, but I think this was a great interview/video. Chad seems like an amazing guy! The part about having a song/album that changed your life and also just living in the moment, even when it’s just for yourself is something I’ve been thinking a lot about, so really cool to hear his take on it.

Great interview, don't apologize for the quality and things you could not control, it was perfectly fine and left me wanting more, like always with MuDvAyNe, you never ever gets the feeling of being full, always hungry for more.... And that last question, oh boy, cross my fingers. Let's hope we get some new tunes sooner then later!

Great interview AJ. Chad has always seemed like a such a down to earth person. Super relaxed and easy to talk to. There's almost a humbleness to him. P.S. I remember getting one of those tapes at harpos in detroit when they opened for slipknot. What a show

Dude kickass ! The show was amazing it was great meeting you also man thanks so much for taking a picture with me 😎👊🤘

Very appreciative of this interview

I'm absolutely amazed how great Chad talked to you. You weren't just another person or just some press. He was giving you genuine answers. What's an amazing video nonetheless AJ! Can't wait for the Wes and Buckethead interview next 😩🤘💙

What an awesome interview! Chad seems like such a good dude. Thank you for this.

So amazing that you got to do this AJ well deserved!!!!!! This is freaking cool AF!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️

You made the best of it, such an enjoyable interview man Chad is the best. Keep up the good work homie

Chad is a cool guy, I met him during tattoo the Earth over 20 years ago. That last question was the one I wanted to know the answer to the most. New music! I went and saw them in Milwaukee in July and they still got it, I just want to know if they can still create an amazing album with each other again.

That was cool!! see what you mean the beginning was a little hard subtitles helped alot. Cleared up pretty quick. Great interview

Awesome interview so awesome you got to do this interview . Thanx for bringing it to us man

AJ you da man! I loved meeting Chad in Huntington in 07! Glad he took the time to take a pic with me! He's an Awesome dude!

'Whatsup with mudvayne?' Is indeed being asked every interview i've watched when chad was still touring with HELLYEAH. 😅

So Fuckin rad dude you looked so excited man I love it ! Great job bud and the back back ground sound was easy to block out if you just focus on y’all talking

Great to get an interview from a band that has a tendency to be secretive. Plus I saw you trying to get this on Chad's Instagram so it's rad to see it happen! Words cannot describe how happy I am that these guys are back. Been my favourite band since 2005 so this reunion has been so glorious.

Dude, I fucking love Chad so much. Such a passionate and badass guy. 🤘🏻

I actually turned my nose up at Mudvayne In the beginning. Things were changing in the metal world... in came Pantera and changed my whole life and they are to me what Elvis was to my mother. So long story short, I gave Mudvayne a listen and fell in love with Chad's vocals. Although no one is better than Phil Anselmo in my mind, Chad is up there. Thanks for driving 3 hours and being treated second class for us to see this interview.

Hell yeah! I love some of Mudvayne, Happy?, Dig, and yeah! So glad to see Chad back! He looks very pleased

Oh how mudvayne and hell yeah have molded into my life. Although hes busy he definitely took his time to speak with you. Looks like when vinnie went he's still grieving up a bit but he's doing just fine. How he talks about from being off on the stage from day to day life to being on stage is as real to be. Very honest and very direct. This line up along with the other bands seemed to of been really good this year. Despite the venue in the worst condition the video is well fair.

You've quickly become one of my favourite youtubers, mate. I'm a fellow collector, not of masks, but it doesn't matter. We all have the same passion for our pieces of choice, and your passion comes through in your videos. I love it, you're an inspiration, champion. Keep it up!

Chad is such a great fuckin dude. Seeing them 2 weeks ago he put in so much effort into the show with the rest of the band it instantly made for one of the best live shows I've ever seen next to Slipknot my very first time. So glad Mudvayne is back.

How frustrating! Ugh! I'm so sorry they did yall like that! Still an amazing interview! 👏 🤘😜 So proud of you! Lovin the interviews lately!

Thanks for asking the questions we all wanted to know, especially about the new material!

Loveeee this interview...just makes me truly thankful for getting to see them. Saw them last Saturday. Last time was at tattoo the earth, and they were amazing 👏

Great interview and amazing show! Have had the opportunity to catch Mudvayne a few times, from their first show last year (ouch) to now (SOO MUCH BETTER). Couldn't be happier to have them back. Chad has worked so hard to try to get healed up to take on Mudvayne level. We have all struggled the last couple of years and we all need each others help to shake out of it! METAL!

Btw dude, this interview didn't turn out bad at all. Shannon was kind of loud at first but you worked with what you had and it turned out pretty awesome. Great job! 👍

My wife would divorce me for Chad. She doesn't think he's necessarily hot but his voice makes her melt. I'm kind of with her on that. I remember seeing them live in 2003 on the Projekt Revolution tour when they were still supporting The End of All Things to Come and they were absolutely phenomenal. Linkin Park is great but I went to that concert almost exclusively for Mudvayne and I wasn't disappointed.

I got to open up for hellyeah a few years ago and I can honestly say that Vinnie, Chad and Tom are solid dudes and it was great hanging out with them!

That’s so awesome I’m so glad I watch. This brings back memories of seeing him in Peoria, Illinois performing Mudvayne was there with 10 years. at the time I body surfed all the way up in the front got turned around, flipped around, almost went headfirst Chad pointed at me. I gave himthe.🤘 as i did it right back to me. That was fucking awesome.

Fantastic Interview, it actually sounded pretty solid even without all the good tech. Chad seems super down to earth and chill. Definitely seemed just like two friends shootin the shit together rather than a strict interview. Totally appreciated the fact that new music should be on the way after touring too!

I like how you just let him talk instead of interrupting him every 5 seconds

hey don't trip about to quality. mudvaybe is a very important band to me. its so cool you got to sit with chad. Amazing interview.

Kinda surreal to see Chad like this…I didn’t grow up a Mudvayne fan or really know who they were until maybe 2006-2007. Chad lived in my town and married my buddies ex and all I knew was he was in a band. I met him not knowing who he was when I worked at costco in the electronics area. I got familliar with him as the dude that couldn’t understand why people bought such big TVs haha he use to stand there and chat and say, “why would you buy this monstrosity when you could paint or read, write or play with your kids!” Kinda ironic given his career is based on media exposure. One of the nicest most genuine people I’ve ever gotten to know. Everytime he came in he’d come over and say hello and chat. About a year later I finally put it together and razzed him a bit for being so “normal” in his free time. He said the art of face paint, masks and being a character is that people never really know if they’ve recognized you in person. He could shop, buy art easels for the kids, go to school functions and no one knew who he was. He liked being able to be an “artist” and entertain, while being a good dad and providing a regular life. I respect him and became a Mudvayne fan. Before they moved to Oregon he dropped off a few albums for me signed and one notation said, “thanks for the friendship, life is about relationships and honest connection, Chad!” Glad he found love again after the divorce and got the gang back together! Great interview, I appreciate your hard work making it! 👊🤘

Mudvayne really captured something magnificent. It would be great to hear them do it again!

This interview was DOOOOOPE as FUUUUCK. Audio wasn't actually that bad. Hell yeah man. Chad is the man and you are too for busting ass getting this interview. Mucho respecto.

Really appreciate the subtitles, I needed them. Also really good interview

If they drop a new album I hope it’s a hard hitting creepy album for them coming back after all these years 🙏❤️🙏

I’m glad mudvayne is back, I love the band. I loved HELLYEAH too and it was awful when Vinnie Paul passed. Metal lost a legend that day, not even talking about pantera days. It was his attitude and how he treated people even though he had a rough life. the emotion with mudvayne was insane it felt like every song wasn’t written but just bled out of chad and the other members, truly amazing work.

Amazing interview.

Chad was awesome in this interview too you , I think the cassette helped bro ... 🤘 you proved you are a real fan .

I tuned into this video after seeing Chad claiming you dissed his crew , wife , and himself. Couldn't find a single diss , besides pure honesty about the situation of the day. Your point on the difficulties of that day was proven as soon as the interview began and hearing his wife almost screaming over your guys. You're way more generous than I would've been , you get once in a lifetime for these opportunities , even if you weren't recording the interview and just talking with the guy , I would've been seething at barely hearing a single fucking word . Chad seems like such a kind and genuine dude , but he could have done WONDERS if he spoke up for you to quiet down the entire setting. Pretty bummed he would consider this a diss because as an audio/video geek myself , my "diss" would've been considering scrapping the whole video because of how problematic the production was , posting pictures of the meeting online and calling it a day. MAJOR kudos on the upload, explanation , and the subtitle work , saved it entirely man.

Yeah, I’m not going to lie, I’m extremely confused and disheartened by his comment. It just doesn’t make any sense. We were walked into that dressing room during her podcast, sure… but he could’ve easily walked us to another room, or asked her to wrap it up, or asked her to take it to another room, or had us come back at another time. I know any of those may be inconvenient for them, but we would’ve worked with them in any way we could have. It’s just strange that I only blame the venue staff for any wrong doing, but somehow he sees that as a job towards him, Shannon, or their crew. I definitely look at the guy a little different after that comment.

Appreciate the work to get the content! keep pushing🤘
