Tribbett and Bob Zilla were shown the door by Hellyeah in February this year, with Gray calling their involvement in the band a "toxic situation" and drummer Vinnie Paul stating the pair lacked drive.

But despite the acrimonious split, Gray says getting Mudvayne back together along with Tribbett wasn't out of the question. When the frontman was asked if Mudvayne were officially over in an interview with Revolver magazine, Gray responds: "I don't think so. We all still talk and I'm not ready to put a headstone on anything yet."
