[[File:hedpe3_8545.jpg|frame|The band's line-up is [[Revolving Door Band|not the same as when they started]]. In fact, the line-up might change by the time you finish reading this.]]

 

Their lyrical subject matter is quite diverse, ranging from some of the more frivolous subject matter of [[Gangsta Rap]] (pot smoking, sex, etc.) to more political topics. Vocalist Jared is also heavily interested in conspiracy theories, like government cover-up of alien life, the Illuminati, etc.; because of this, Hed PE is often overlooked or downright condemned, despite the diversity of their music.

 

The band has had ''many'' [[Revolving Door Band|line-up changes]] over the years; this list may or may not be the '''current''' line-up.

* '''Jared Gomes''' (also known as [[I Have Many Names|MCUD (MC Underdog), Jared Shaine and his birthname, Paulo Sergio Gomes]]): Vocals (founding member)

* '''Trauma''' (Jeremiah Stratton): Drums (since 2009)

 

* The Finger: Keyboard (1994-1996: founding member)

* Chizad: Guitar (1994-2002: founding member)

* Devin Lebsack: Drums (2006-2007)

* Tiny Bubz: Drums (2007-2008)

* ''Church of Realities'' (1995)

{{creatortropes}}

* [[I Have Many Names]]: Most current and former band members have aliases.

* [[Juggalo]]: Jaxon has the [[Psychopathic Records|Hatchetman]] painted onto his guitar, and the entire band has performed in face paint; although Jared had performed in face paint since the band's debut, the entire band had not.

* [[Tribal Face Paint]]: Often worn by Jared since the band's formation, this has recently extended to the rest of the band, especially when playing for [[Juggalo]] audiences, and comes into play heavily on some music videos, like "Here And Now".

 

* [[Arc Number]]: The band often refers to the year 2012, and draws lyrical themes from various theories surrounding the year.

* [[Erudite Stoner]]: Jared, in real life.

* [[This Means War]]: This line occurs in the song "War".

 

* [[Bonus Material]]: Each of their albums has bonus tracks on international releases, usually on the Japanese editions. ''New World Orphans'' was originally released in three different versions, each containing unique bonus tracks; when it was reissued on iTunes, its only bonus track was the single "Here And Now". Fans who preordered ''Truth Rising'' received a ''Skull and Bonus'' CD, which contained exclusive songs, remixes and an interview with Jared in which he discussed the 9/11 Truth Movement.

* [[Cover Version]]: A few, including "[[Jimi Hendrix|Crosstown Traffic]]" and "For What It's Worth" (retitled "[[Covered Up|Children]]" by the band). In concerts, the band has covered songs by [[Rage Against the Machine]] and [[Bob Marley]].

* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: "(həd)"

 

* [[Shout-Out]]: The animated music video for "Truth Rising" briefly features a figure that strongly resembles the [[Psychopathic Records|Hatchetman]].
