The question is, how did you get into this band??

Truth be told, I was browsing thru CD's in a music store and stumbled upon Broke back in 2000. That's all it took - I was hooked!!! Been a fan ever since!!

How about you? Was it a show? A CD you found? A track you heard? A friend who introduced you to their music? I've always wondered how other people found them....

I'm sure I've heard them before this, but i download there, Darky because it had an interesting name, (hed) p.e. - Darky, it stood out. I liked it so i furthered my search and heard more songs on there myspace. I've been listening to them every day for about 2 years now.

I thought parenthesis looked bad ass.



Seriously.
That's why I checked them out.

i remember hearing their name on a satellite radio channel
they had just played one of their songs (i didnt actually hear the song)
and then they asked callers to call in to tell the host what they thought of the 'new hed pe song'
and i remember callers calling in and saying the song was really bad
and it wasn't like other hed pe songs
i dont know what song it was though
but for some odd reason i still decided to download some of their music
thank fuck i did! Voices was all it took to get me hooked

I was big time into KoRn and Limp Bizkit at the time, and my older bro gave me their S/T and told me to check em out, said it good music to draw to, and i've been bumping to them ever since!

i have to thank wedged for introducing me to the best band on my list !! thnx bro !!!

story is cooler tho :P

1 night iwoz i need of a smoke and woz kinda broke and he woz in ma msn buddy list so i pmd him about 2.30 am and asked if he had smokes and we chilled out till 5 and lsitened to hed !!

It has been discussed several times before, but those topics are so old that they are virtually unfindable, so don't worry about it. :)


So here's how I discovered (hed) Planet Earth...

Chicago used to have this fucking awesome radio station called 94.7 The Zone....had to have been the best non-satellite station ever. They played everything from Nickelback to Sevendust to Slayer. They actually introduced me to some of my favorite bands like The Haunted and Dry Kill Logic. But back to the story. It was back in early 2003, right after Blackout was released, I guess. When I woke up in the morning before school, I used to listen to the morning show on it. They were discussing music news, and the last news of the morning was that (hed) p.e. had broken up. One of the other DJ's was apparently a huge (hed) fan and was pretty upset about it, haha. I had never heard their music at the time, but I had heard the name several times before. So later on, I decided to download a song of theirs, Boom (How You Like That). I loved it. I burned it to a CD along with a bunch of other random songs and listened to it constantly. A couple weeks later, I went to a shop got a used copy of Blackout. I thought it was alright, but it grew on me a lot after awhile. Then I bought Broke after my birthday, and that's when I really fell in love with them.

I also got my best friend to like them after awhile too. He hated them at first, but I always made him listen to Broke and Blackout when he was at my house. Eventually he became as big a fan as I. And he's introduced (hed) to countless other people. Their fanbase has spread quite a bit out here, and it's all thanks to me.

i was searching for miscellaneous SOAD tracks and found feel good. hooked ever since.

this has been discussed but ah who cares!

i first heard hed last year when i was just browsing the web and searching for music, i heard the song 'lets ride' and i loved it! i did the same thing as shakezulah, downloaded songs onto CD's. i started reading stuff about them & googling them.. i liked them alot. but when i saw them live, man it was all over, i think thats when i trully fell in love with hed pe hahah! the energy, their 'fuck you!' attitude, the way they are so in touch with their spiritual side, their knowledge of 911, nwo, freemasonry, illuminati... etc. the list goes on! i juss relate to all that and i love em! after i saw them live i think is when i started buying a bunch of their CD's and whatever i could get my little hands on!

thats how i became the hed lover that i am today :P

when i was 11 i startd getn high smoken buds n shit tha cronk mway bacc wen ya kno hah high as fuck i startd hereing my homies brother playn kottonmouth kings n reppn srh everyday so ya me n my dogg startd bumpn his bros shit in the car in the garadge wit the two alpine 10' we just sit n get high,, haha but ne ways we startd getn into his other music like korn n shit just chill ya kno so i was like into that shit i found a cd wit a bum on the cover so i poped it in n turnd it to number 6 cuz thats like my number lol it was pac bell n i fuckn sat there high as fuck wit that bace just pounden i fuckn luved it shit gave me chills yall it was deep n after that it was on hed pe fo sher changed my life frm bacc then to now its gotn me by ..

Pac Bell is an amazing track, by far one of my favorites.

I got into hed just by seeing stickers all over town. It seemed like every tn minutes I would see a hed pe sticker! So I looked them up; they had just come out with :hedpe self-titled: and one of my buddies had COR. After listening to those two records I was hooked!

damn i wonder what thatd be like.. around here people are juss like "um whats hed pe?"

Yeah hed was really popular when they were coming out; everyone thought it was so weird they were on Jive, since it was mostly girly pop shit that was on there...no offense ladies :D

None taken - Jive can eat a dick.

To make a long story short.

Four years ago. My friend hooked me up with some (hed)pe on the now defunct P2P network, WinMX. Thats how it started. The rest as they say, is history.

1996 I was a freshman in h.s. My friend and I wanted to play in a band.KORN and RATM were just hittin' it then.We knew this preppy Jewish girl who could play drums.We went to her house and jammed in her basement.She asked if we knew any hed songs.I had no idea who they were.I took the advice and bought there self-titled.Been down ever since.I've seen em here in memphis about 5 times since :hedpe self-titled:

i heard of hed like 1 and a half year ago or maybe even just 1 year!... so I'm still kinda new to it...
but no wonder that I'm new.. nobody knows hed here!!

anyways I found a website where you could enter a band name and it showed you some other bands which are similar to them... so I just entered some bands like KoRn, Slipknot, SOAD, RATM and when I entered Limp Bizkit, I saw this name (HED) P.E. and then I got curious and dled an Album .. I think it was OIA.. and I was like... "WTF! that sounds great".. so I told my bro.. and he goes like "yeah dude.. I know this band... I was at a concert in zurich ..my friend has all of their albums.." and I was like.. "argh!.... why didn't you tell me earlier??"
yeah well then i got the other albums :D

my bro introduced me to lots of sounds... but never to hed :( he even showed me SOAD..

broke drove me to hed pe when i first time buy the cassette...
i know hed pe rom local megazine known as Dragon..

then i started to love hed pe.... :lol:

First time i heard Hed and got into them was around 4-5 years ago at my freinds house we used tae smoke at,,,,,someone fired in Broke and sitting stonned we listened to the album about 3 times over in a row,,,since then i've loved hed and they have been always part of my playlist

:hedpe self-titled: damn i've been down for like 12 years when ever the first album came out (first major album) i think it was 95 or 96 heard them on the second stage at the first OZZFEST in chicago i was like damn these dudes are baddddasssss!!!

I went to a Papa Roach show here in Barcelona in 2001, (hed) were playing already when I entered the club. Awesome. I bought s/t and about a month later Broke. Now is my favorite band!

My brother started downloading bicycle freeride movies almost 3 years ago and after that he downloaded the New World Dissorder 4 soundtrack with the song Get Away on it. I loved it bud didn't go searching for other songs.
Then my brother in august got the discography and showed me Insomnia and said that most of the songs are just a mix of different genres. I stole his whole collection and I ain't gonna return it anytime soon.

I was into KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Incubus and all that stuff and downloaded the KoRn Family Values - Extra Values CD in 98. SERPENT BOY was track #12. Didn't take me long to get interested in (hed) and i downloaded the darky ground, firsty and the other songs i could find on Napster. Ground still is my favorite song ever!

You guys should check out the Extra Values Cd. It's by far the best VA Cd ever. Just check out the tracks:
KoRn - I Can Remember
Limp Bizkit - Stuck
Orgy - Platinum
Kid Rock - Bawitbaba
Powerman 5000 - Neckbone
Incubus - New Skin
Cold - Insane

BTK - Corncob Pipe
Grinspoon - PostEnbriatedAnxiety
Kilgore - TK 421

where can i find it?
do they sell it in England?
cos it sounds kl lol

werent you dead??? :blink:

haha

jesus christ, wth?
if i were to take drugs id take mushrooms & lsd, nd any other psychedelic drug lmao
sadly, my dad would kill me if i took drugs lol

haha don't listen to DGAFB2RD4L,
Like he was smoking weed when he was 11?
yeh right, should at least make it believable.

but i thought it was hilarious when he said he found a cd with a bum on the cover :lol:

I'm huge fan of Rage Against the Machine and I was looking for some good rapcore bands. I remembered hearing the name (hed) PE somewhere so I decided to download their :hedpe self-titled: to found if they're any good. I became a fan after 3 first songs. "Serpent Boy" nailed me.

saw Blackout on TV when i was like 12 or something or 11, digt it... forgot the name of the band... heard some OIA songs... forgot about dem... B2BX listened that for 2 solid months... bought every album :P

well i was into limp bizkit back in the day and i read something, i think it was like in 2002, i read this shit where jah was talking shit about them and the article said the bands had a similiar sound... he was comparing 'nookie' to 'bartender'

so i downloaded 'bartender' and it blew lb out of the water
bought broke, loved it. downloaded some other songs

so i've been a fan since before blackout
but (hed) didn't mean what they do to me now 'til 2005ish
played OIA while i was fuckin'
and the girl said it was the sickest style she ever heard

we started playing them for all our friends
now there's like a (hed) army in my state, haha.

at this point i have [well, i've purchased, i don't have like any of them anymore] all their cds at least once, except for insomnia... i just barely got to look at the insomnia booklet like a week or two ago, lol.

the end.

I was at some library sale and was looking at some cds. I bought albums that i thought looked good. Blackout was one of them. Got home and listened to it and i only like Suck it up. then the more i listened to it, the more i liked it. I also recently bought Insomnia which i think is good. Insomnia was the only (hed) p.e. cd they had apart from the greatest hits so yea. So far i have Blackout and Insomnia and theyre my favourite band

In that case go buy Broke(:broke:) and then their Self-titled (:hedpe self-titled:) . If they are your favorite band now, adding those to albums to your collection will make you a worshiper.

i know i saw them open for some other band I went to go watch at the house of blues in anaheim, ca....i can't remember the band though...it was years ago when i was in highschool....and have been hooked ever since....too bad we lost some good members along the way....

I heard represent on xm radio. :insomnia:

I'll take a stab at it...

It was a long way back but, I was at a local music store and about once a month I'll buy a cd and every 6 months I buy a cd of a band I never heard of before and try to pick em by the cover. As I moved down the line I ran across (self-titled) and for obvious reasons I picked it up and carried it with me and decided this cover was the most intriguing so I bought it. I think I listened to it about three times and never really sat down and listened to them. Soon enough it was buried under a pile of other cd's, not to be seen for about a year. (hed) fell to the side for a bit, I then found it underneath my dresser. So I popped it in and opened up the booklet, pressed play and ever since 1999 I've been a huge fan and love watching them evolve as time goes by.

I've purchased that cd 4 times due to wear and tear since then.

Yes I do burn some cd's but I had to have the original for (hed)

Cool story man :D

I only heard about them a year and a half ago. Was sitting at a buddy's place, and he was getting ready to go to their concert with another friend. They wanted me to go but I had never heard of them and really wasn't interested in going. So he played a song off their myspace, which was, at the time, Raise Hell. Still didn't really care...

Then, one day, maybe a month later, I'm sitting at my place just surfin around myspace, when I came across a different friend's profile who had Let's Ride as her song on there. Since the day I heard that song, I was hooked! I downloaded about 6 songs, then went and bought a couple of their cd's... and it's been going from there ever since.

This is funny, i play alot of madden football anyways, hed pe had the track suk it up on madden 2003 from the blackout album. Thats how i first heard of them. i dled the whole blackout album loved it. i didnt really search for any of there old music i have no idea y, then a couple of years ago i saw that they were coming 2 the mia, so i started listenen 2 there new stuff like lets ride,and i went 2 their concert and thats when it was over, i now own every cd they got, listen 2 em everyday, and go 2 every concert when they come 2 my city. even been 2 a few in cali!!!! hed pe WHAT!!
