HELLYEAH Performs Acoustic Version Of 'Hush' Live For First Time (Video)

HELLYEAH played an acoustic version of the song “Hush” live for the first time on February 19 at Black Sheep in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Check out fan-filmed video footage of the performance below.

HELLYEAH‘s “Hush” single was released last March in conjunction with the arrival of “No More Week.” The song’s lyrics, written by singer Chad Gray, delve into his personal experience growing up in a home with domestic violence, with the aim of shedding light on a hidden subject and letting other survivors know that they are not alone.

Gray told The Pulse Of Radio that writing intensely personal lyrics is the only way he knows how to do it. “I do wear my life on my sleeve,” he said. “I don’t write things because I’m writing them and going, ‘God, I can’t wait for this to be heard and be judged.’ I’m not writing it because I want people to judge it, I’m writing it because I have to let it go. You know, I have to get it out there, and I have to be honest.”

“Hush” was the third single taken from HELLYEAH‘s latest album, “Blood For Blood”. The previous ones were the title track and the Top 10 rock hit “Moth”.

“Blood For Blood” was HELLYEAH‘s first album since parting ways with guitarist Greg Tribbett and bassist Bob “Zilla” Kahaha in February 2014.

Created by the No More movement, “No More Week” was designed to increase awareness of issues of domestic violence and galvanize more communities, organizations and corporations to make them a priority.

Advocates equipped with free education and awareness tools hosted more than 50 “No More Week” events around the nation, including fundraisers, sporting events, workshops, screenings and other activities.

No More was launched in 2013 with the support of nearly every domestic violence and sexual assault prevention organization in the country.

HELLYEAH recently posted a short studio teaser for its forthcoming fifth album along with the hashtag #HUMAN, which is likely the title the CD’s first single.

The group’s new album was recorded atThe Hideout Recording Studio in Las Vegas, Nevada with producer Kevin Churko, who previously worked with HELLYEAH on “Blood For Blood”.
