Anything you wanted to know about hed and affraid to a ask

The full tittle was supposed to be
"Anything you wanted to know about hed and were affraid to ask"
but it's too long...

I think the topic name says it all. I feel like some people are affraid to ask about facts about the band not to look like the "worse fans"...
And that's not right! So ask for anything you want to know about hed and I hope someone makes out your questions.

yo do you know exsactly how old jah is because last time i knew he was 42 or something? but i cant remember how long ago that is cheers

I always wanted to know how much music (if any) does Jah write
'Cause he clearly plays guitar (don't know about his level), so he could.

And who does back vocals from Blackout on (on records not lvie shows) when Chizzad left?
Product or Jah himself again?

Nowadays Jahred basically writes all the lyrics! You can definitely tell the transformation in lyrics from the old days to OIA and on.

On Jahred's guitar level, he can't hold a candle to Chad or Wes!

For the background vocals post-Blackout, many of those are Jahred himself or his girlfriend, Lindsay.

I really think the DVD was a Koch thing at the time - they were on a gangsta indie label and everything was basically DIY. Putting out a DVD on an indie label cost the band money. I'm assuming not releasing the DVD is a result of either quality footage or lack of money, probably both.

It's no secret that HED, post-Blackout, really didn't sell enough records to line their pockets. The little money they made (and I can't emphasize the word little) was off touring. When Jahred and Moke told me how much money they made from the OIA tour, I was disgusted for them.

Who knows - maybe someday they will put out a DVD. Personally, I'd love to see one that chronicles their entire career, from the S/T CD on...but it's gotta be one that is monetarily beneficial and feasible for all parties involved.

Peace!

yes.. I spose its always hard on an indie label and just being so heavily underrated.

I was actually workin on a fan kind of thing myself. I had fuckin loads of concerts, videos and clips but my harddrive crashed and also my computer is a mess.

I'd luv to do one of I only had the time and facilities...

anyway, thnx for the info agen kim!

when i asked dj product in switzerland about dvd he told me that it turned ou bad and they decided not to release it.
and mawk told me that they don't have any plans for dvd in the near future.

I was wondering about what jobs did they have before
they played in (hed).

I was thinking about music, not lyrics
But thanks for answer anyway!

Heres something I've wondered for a while now.
On wikipedia it says that on the signing of HED onto Suburban Noize they signed devin as drummer, i think thats wrong, but im not sure.
Was it moke who did drums on B2BX? and when did devin join?
I remember seeing devin on the UK tour, but did moke tour with them in the US on B2BX tour at all?
cheers, lozz.

Jahred = did transcriptions (typing)
Mark = computer programer
Product = freestyle artist
Jaxon = food server

I really don't know anything about the new drummer but from my understanding, he's just a touring drummer.

Yes, Moke did the drums on the newest CD.

Moke pulled out of the tour.

I read that he got the nick in jail and it used to stand for MC Underdog but later he changed it to MC Underdone

i read that in the beggining UD meaning was "un deus" (or something simmilar) which means "against god" in latin,and that jahred have changed it to underdog because his mom was very religious.
i am not 100% sure but i think i read it in british metal hammer long,long time ago.

haha wicked thanks guys, ermmmmmm, dunno what but at least i was kinda right 0-o......haha jah's mum religious.....sounds realy wierd 0_o

well so was/is he.
now he seems to be into that whole kaballah stuff a lot.
wrote in his myspace blogs that he prays every morning and stuff.
