Ex-Damageplan Bassist Joins HellYeah

Former Damageplan bassist Bob "Zilla" Kakaha has officially replaced Jerry Montano (Danzig, Nothingface, The Deadlights) in HellYeah.

HellYeah drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, who played with Bob Zilla in Damageplan alongside Vinnie's late brother "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, told MTV in January, "I told Bob after [Dimebag was killed] that no matter what happens, I'm gonna find a way to play in a band with him again because me and him are just bros. It was kind hard to go ahead and commit to this band without Bob being part of it, but since Jerry was the bass player it was already set in place. And Bob's been really cool and understanding. And he's doing his tattoo shop in Texas right now. And some point in the future, we'll probably play together again."

HellYeah released it's self-titled debut on April 10.
