Machine Head Appreciation Thread
-
30-05-2012 09:12PM#1Seeing as MH are playing tonight in Dublin and I ain't there, said I would start an appreciation thread for the band.
First heard machine head about 2004/05 in a mates room, huddled around his computer in the dark (no homo
). We were listening to a bunch of random tracks from Lamb of God, Lacuna Coil, Godsmack and many others.
All of a sudden I hear these amazing drums... Imperium had started playing
Was hooked straight away, listened to it day and night.
Saw them live in London when they opened for Slipknot recently. Was last minute thing so was stuck in the cheap seats up back but was still amazing!
Thing with the head is, you both love and hate them. Many a classic and then there are songs that you think to yourself "seriously, what the hell?!"
Will always be a fan though 5

Saw MH at the Academy gig about two years ago. Didn't have standing tickets but everyone on the balcony just stood anyway Support acts were good and MH were awesome, but the sound in the academy was quite s**t tbh. Have been a fan since The Blackening

Amazing gig tonight, definitely a highlight of my year! Those chants of Olé Olé Olé, were nothing short of awesome!
Lived in the pit for the entire gig, and with only a slight right-sided hearing loss, it was a lot of fun 0 -

I got into Machine Head in 1994. Having already been completed blown away by Fear Factory's Demanufacture the same year, Burn My Eyes was another uncompromising dose of heavy yet melodic metal. They kind of lost their way a bit with The Burning Red and Supercharger although I have a soft spot for the cover of Message in a Bottle. Thankfully their recent albums (although now that I look at the release date I realise Through the Ashes of Empires isn't that recent any more
) have been much improved with each album containing at least one song that could fit easily on a "Best of" compilation. 0 -

The show was noisy with lots of sweaty people doing this viscous form of "dance" whereby they were charging and slamming into each other. The fact that Mr. Flynn encouraged people to participate in this primitive behaviour was quite unpleasant. Others who did not participate in these thuggish antics simply shook their heads violently whilst apparently playing a non-existent guitar. Quite strange!
The preceding acts were equally as noisy with similar forms of "dancing" taking place.
It was simply most vulgar - you would not have liked to have been there.

Yep, I was there at the Ambassador gig, a thousand years ago! Rob has mentioned elsewhere in interviews that it was one of the most memorable gigs for Machine Head.
EDIT: Found the link! : ) http://kingsizepictures.wordpress.com/2009/06/29/rock-hard-interview-robb-flynn-und-james-hetfield-englisch/
And for those interested both the Machine Head and Lamb of God sets will be streamed live from Rock Am Ring tonight:
