Underrated? There was a time he was overrated as well as his projects (looking at you, dumpster fire Hell Yeah). He also used several words incorrectly solely based on their definition. Circumventing energy? You want to avoid it? Maybe the energy is being reciprocated? He still comes off as a grown man in a high-school mindset.

Flew into Miami from NY and we road tripped to Daytona. That was such a fun day. We were next to a lady who's seen Metallica nearly 30 times. When Mudvayne played Death Blooms I went into a head banging drunken trance. I think there was a crowd surfer chick that went by 15 times like Jesus on the cross. Got divebomb pooped on by a seagull on my calf. Some dude got peed on. Saw fellow Bills fans, Satanists, Jesus, Santa, Australians and lots of butts.

RIP dime, Jimmy, and Vinnie. I’m sooo fucking glad I got to see the rev in 2008

When I heard Mudvayne was returning last year, I literally started freaking out. I was texting, calling, posting to everyone I knew that they were finally returning. That first show back was, understandably, shaky and had some audio/tech issues. However, the Welcome to Rockville show proved that Chad and company still had it. They were my favorite band back in the early 2000's and continue to be in my top 5 to this day. I already have my tickets to the upcoming tour with Rob Zombie. I am still in disbelief that I get to see them again on stage after last seeing them in 2005. Great interview with a truly genuine person and an absolute legend of nu-metal/progressive metal.

Man. What an absolutely phenomenal band Mudvayne is. Bring on that new music. I’m ready to crush it.

Dude i love the atmosphere of this. Being a musician and watching musicians talk about LIFE and being real people is enlightening. Talking about the good and bad, the celebrations and the achievements. Just shooting the shit man. WAAAY better than “Bro we are on tour buy our shit” promo style videos. Johnny and Chad great video guys!

Chad gray is the man amazing lyrics ,hope I get to catch mudvayne in concert this go around

Man, that's badass that Chad was able to finish the welcome home album. Hell yeah in my opinion had just continued to get better and better with each album. Their first couple albums weren't anything special compared to mudvayne but their last few albums were great and the welcome home album is without a doubt their best. Now let's hope for some new mudvayne, even a couple singles would be amazing. Even that they performed together again blew me away honestly.

Great episode, Chad seems like such a genuinely kind dude. Appreciate the content!

Great interview. Chad get MudVayne back to Peoria. Your family misses you.

His voice is absolutely amazing. The first time I heard it I was floored. LD 50 was amazing.

Mudvayne played a set and I had to get the meet and great line in order. This was the first time I'd ever had to do that becuz most bands that played dip out after their set. They bought us drinks,they met and signed every single fans stuff that wanted to meet them and took time with each and every fan. I gotta say these guys were stand up all the way around and very appreciative of their fans.

I believe the show Chad is talking about in Milwaukee was Tattoo the Earth in 2000. Slipknot, Slayer, Sevendust and this little new band called Mudvayne. There were others, possibly Hatebreed, Hed PE, Primer 55 if I remember correctly. This was my first show ever and was my first exposure to Mudvayne. I’ll never forget his scream. All the bands played on all levels of The Rave. I’ve seen them play their every time since, including the first time they headlined the ballroom. 22 years later and hundreds of shows later, I will be back to dance again when they return. Much love from Wisconsin! You have a new subscriber.

When Chad says "you know, honestly dude". He sounded like Jack Black. hahaha

I'll never forget that first time I heard Mudvayne Dig when it first released. I didn't know who they were at the time and somehow I ended up with the Making of Dig music video and I randomly played it out of curiosity not thinking any of it and I remember just laughing cause I was amazed by it. It was such a unique sound at the time and their music grabbed you by the nutsack and I've been hooked(yes they're still holding my nutsack) ever since. My friends and I spent years listening to them and going to concerts. Mudvayne was/is my absolute favorite band of all time. Ahhh I get bummed out when I think about the good ole days and how much I miss hanging out and jamming to our favorite bands. Why can't we all be young again and have nothing to do but have fun all the time lol.

I procrastinated seeing mudvayne prior to the 10+ year hiatus. I was young when they initially split up. Being able to see them at Rockville last year was so meaningful to me considering I grew up on Mudvayne. I can't emphasize enough how much it meant to see mudvayne live thinking that it would never be possible for 10+ years. Much love from Canada!

Mudvayne changed my life forever. I remember that first time I saw Dig I was mind blown that they had the devil playing bass

Chad is the jam! Amazing attitude and awesome insight about his career. What a great guy!
