I recently purchased a Kerrang Magazine that celebrated the rise of nu-metal and all the bands that were pidgeon-holed into that category. (hed) pe were mentioned in a very small segment of the mag under THE TOP 30 NU-METAL ANTHEMS for Bartender. I thought people would find it interesting to hear what was said:
BARTENDER
HED (P.E.)
In Jahred Gomes, (hed) p.e. are to this day led by a loudmouth, polarising figure whose tales of womanising and booze gladly wore the hip-hop influence that infested much of nu-metal's cocksure appeal. Bartender's lowlifes and nightlife groove remains their finest four minutes.
Also of note is Chester of Linkin Park used to always wear tops of (hed) pe. Got various pictures of him in the magazine wearing (hed) pe Japan tour tops.
