thank you for hearing my requests and finally doing this video haha

Thanks for the video, I learned a lot about Machine Head. I heard of them in the 90s and never again so I thought they moved to another planet or something. I might dig around in this a little. The beginning of the Blackening was somewhat compelling.

machine head are the reason I got back into metal after a good 6 or 7 years away when I was into the rave scene. but when I eased out of that scene I was lost, and I heard supercharger on spotify and I was brought back to my younger years! this was about 5 years ago itself now and since then I've opened my eyes to so much more metal and can say I don't listen to machine head anymore, I am grateful for what they have done for me.

I do enjoy Machine Head's first album. There's a big "Chaos A.D." vibe on that one and it was pretty important in inspiring groove/death metal albums like Obituary "World Demise" and Napalm Death's "Fear, Emptiness, Despair" (along with "Diatribes") to follow a similar route. I like a couple of their later albums too but that nu metal phase the band went through was a mess. Combine that with Rob's " lifetime Adidas supply/secret fangirl of Powerman5000" look just shows Rob to be a a bit musically inconsistent a a bit trend hippy. Jumpdafuck up Rob? no you need to jumpdafuck down man. Jumpdafuck down from bitching about Phil all the time.

Have you done Motley Crue or better yet, Poison?

Machine Head is not uninspired. Yes the first two albums was pretty much a interpretation of Pantera's groove, but they cearly did hid with their own, new handwriting. They had some much more complex songstructures than Pantera, sounded harder, had more ups and downs and more raising inside the tracks. Pretty much generated with the awesome complex drums and Robb's more diverse vocal-style. The rest you can call maybe a Pantera-copy, but at all was kicking me much more than anything from Pantera. I'm thankful for Pantera cause they was pioneering that genre, but Machine Head did much better afterwards, imo.

@antona.1327

3 жыл бұрын

Eh, I disagree that the first two albums were an interpretation on Pantera. The closest thing to Pantera they had was the crushing guitar tone and maybe the use of whamy bars and pinch harmonics on some of the songs. Sonically, they had more in common with bands like Poison Idea and Neurosis. They had a sound that was a lot darker than Pantera's southern rock-inspired sound. On TMTC, they had hardcore punk sections all over most of the songs and were already shifting from that groove metal label.

@00ELDuderino00

3 жыл бұрын

@@antona.1327 But Robb told in older interviews Panterea would be one of the influences he was inspired by. I guess you can compare the latest stuff from Pantera very well to the very first stuff from Machine Head, like Walk and Davidian. They had very similar song structures, slow beats with brutal and repeating riffs and also the singing had a lot in common. For this period Pantera is applied as the founders of groove metal and that's what's Machine Head started with.

I'm kinda thinking this dude does too much meth. Chill out. Maybe Machinehead has had their ups and downs, but they have such quality music, I wouldn't knock them. Live, They kill it. Love them.

Damned right, you hit the bulls eye !

No neanderthalic lyrics? That should definitely be among the top 5 reasons, I've heard people complaining about that.

Great video... I really like Burn My Eyes and that's about that - they will never top that record.

I have dabbled in Machine Head off and on for years. While I don't hate the band, none of their music really grabbed me and made me a fan. I can say that the style changes are what kept me from becoming really invested in the band. But, I think it would be a good idea for me to start with Burn My Eyes and work my way up their discography. As for the whole Phil thing. Phil has been making racist remark and back paddling for years now. Hell, I remember various new bits on MTV back in the mid 90's where Phil was being called out about his racist remarks and actions. So I was glad to see Robb call him out. Just because you are in a bad does not mean that you are above scrutiny and should be allowed to get away with such negative behavior. More people need to step up to the plate like Robb did and call Phil out on his crap.

Did anyone see the fly at 5:21?

I'm like you on the like to dislike ratio, I like, or even love, most of the bands that have been roasted thus far. I think so far the only ones I don't like are any of the Post Hardcore bands you mentioned in the series. To be honest though, I want to see another genre based 5 Reasons video. With that in mind my biggest suggestions are Dubstep, Thrash Metal, Power Metal, Progressive Rock/Metal, Grindcore and Crust Punk.

I'm doing some research on people's opinions about the band currently. I do a 2 person show where we review albums the other gives ys every episode, and this episode he gave me the blackening. First experience I've really had with machine head other than Is There Anybody Out There. And I dont really get it to be honest

Discovered them in 2004 in Paris, live with Slayer, Slipknot and Mastodon, it is my favourite band now, aged very well, new album is killer and Robb is a veru cool guy =)

Well put. Thanks Mr. Nicholson!!

How you doin CKN

And congrats on the sun glasses and the 10 cd collection..

I've listened to every machine head song at least once and there isn't one song I actually dislike, they aren't a bad band if they are still around after 25 years

TBH. The FIRST Machine Head album I bought was The More Things Change and I loved it... then I found Burn My Eyes at a local record store where I lived, picked it up, and spun it... and holy SHIT! Burn My Eyes blew me away the first time and pretty much every other time I've listened to it.

Machine head rocks one of my favorites. I have every cd and play them every day. They help me get through. Sounds like me and Rob kind of grew up the same. To me all their albums are Awsome. And to me that's where slipknot and early stone sour and others got their sound. To me it's pantera meets biohazard a little old korn

People hate them either for the fact that they changed their sound after The More Thing Changes, or for the fact that Robb is very outspoken on social media and has leftist political views and such. I don't give a shit, quite honestly. Hate The Burning and Supercharger (although I enjoyed them more when I was younger), but their new stuff kicks ass. And Robb's political views don't interest or bother me. There are also some detractors that hate the band for silly reasons. Like, for example, A7F fanboys jumped on hate bandwagon against the band (and Robb in particular) after Robb did his review of the Hail to the King album, in which he was pointing out what everyone was pointing out: Avenged Sevenfold simply ripped off the best rock and metal bands and blatantly tried to justify it as an "homage".

i dont hate them, but just see a lot of groove metal in general being annoying compared to thrash or death metal. Metal Archives members call it ""half thrash" because it essentially splits thrash riffs in half. Plus the macho pseudo hardcore thing as far as vocals and attitude. YEah thrash had macho stuff but not in the same overly obvious cheesy way. I don't mind giving them a spin once in a while, but for groove metal i usually listen to Exhorder (As elitist as it sounds lol)

Also Robb Flynns lyrics are extremely immature and embarrassing, I can tolerate swearing in some amount, but he really overdoes it

I really love Hallowed be Thy name cover on the Blackening. Unto the Locust is a great album.

Bands change and experiment with sounds with every record. Innovate or die. As far as his comments earlier this year I'm with that. It was the right thing to do and people will just have to accept it or go away. Besides if you watch the video he is pretty much telling anyone that will listen that if your okay with or defend that kind of thing, then you can get f*%ked. What's more metal than standing up for what you believe and publically telling one of the biggest metal artist "F*&k You"? Not a huge fan but I can respect this kind of statement.

i was a hardcore machine head fan. for years. but quit listening after through the ashes of empires.. and i can say that your comments are true.

The first time I heard burn my eyes in the summer of 94 reminded me of Feb of 86 hearing master of puppets not that they sound alike not that they are remotely similar but the fucking way it captured my soul as a metal head . Dude you probably like whoever is winning in football huh? Man ride with us or collide with us I've been down since obituary/napalm death . an open mind with a clenched fist hey I'm a Broncos fan lol!

I still think they shred but triple beam and out there Idk lol but goddamn now we die fuckin locusts choice metal!!

I've heard and enjoyed two of the band's songs, Crashing Around You and Kick You.

It seems a bit redundant to have counter arguments here considering the video is just expressing points of view but still, all the reasons you listed are reasons I hate elitist metal snobs. But i want to address two points; *takes deep breath* A bands sound evolving over the years is what keeps it fresh new and exciting, and in my opinion the most honest, I listen to old music, i listen to new, they all inform the music i write, including many genre's outside of metal. So i wouldn't call it trend hoping, just being open to new ideas and change, hence why they're still going strong 20+ years later. Second, Flynn knew the backlash he would receive from calling Phil out, again this ties in with honesty, how many people thought the same but kept their mouths shut through fear, and again, including this in your lyrics, it's honest, it's true. I love rap and hip hop for the freedom it gives in speaking your mind openly. Sort of reminds me of Aesthetics of Hate, and many old Pantera songs in fact; 5 minutes alone as an example, direct and real, people are just butt hurt cause they don't want Pantera being knocked from their almighty pedestal, but in my opinion Phil did that himself, Flynn just called him on it because he knew no one else would.

The first time I seen MH live was back in 2001 right after 911 great show but that was a weird time indeed.

I have to agree with Burn my eyes, but I think The more things change is always going to be my favorite, probably because it the first time I heard them.

If James Spader and Rainman had a child...now we know..

I didn't really listen and I mean really listen to machine head until these last few years. I think my favorite album from them is Locust. There was a time in the 90's when all the pantera sounding bands just became one and same and at the time I was more into Tool and other things. So I payed them no mind. Then when the new metal came out and I heard machine head doing their version of it i just kind ignored it. Then one day I heard Locust and I just couldn't stop listening to it and I bought album and have been listening to it religiously since. After Spotify came out I've had a chance to listen to previous albums and I do like the blackening a lot. Also their new stuff is not bad. And I've been lucky enough to see them live and they put on a great show. Especially with their two hours plus shows. As per Flynn calling out Phil on his Nazi related shit. I don't think he should receive so much hate for it. It's not about being a SJW. The truth is heavy metal was never about hate. Historically, it's been a critique about social issues like war, religious injustices, fascism, racism, drug use, etc. Look at some of the greatest songs in metal like war pigs, foreclosure of a dream, sweet leaf, symphony of destruction, peace sells... quilombo, Indians, and so many others I can't think off at this time. Even Pantera had songs about these problems if you look at the lyrics. I guess that's what a lot of the new fans of metal don't understand and refer to everything that critiques these problems as PC. Heavy metal is about giving a finger to the system that benefits from all that. So the only way I think Flynn fucked up is by not writing a song about it and instead going in a rant.

Robb did say he likes all types of music. Even hip hop . I think the burning red and supercharger, nu metal was the thing back then.

They were on Roadrunner though they have been known for not giving artists complete control?

If you threaten people just because they speak against racism you are simply on the wrong track and Rob could probably not care less about you liking his band or not

I can only think of one. "Is There Anybody Out There?" that is really the only flaw in their awesome 25+ years!

He isn't the 1st Artist to call people out on record. Also speaking out against racism should be applauded. If any Metal Heads have a problem with that, they probably have deeper rooted problems.

Personally, The Burning Red and Supercharger are my least favorite albums. They are heavy but they don't represent who Machine Head is. Yes, they have changed a lot over the almost 9 albums now, but they've improved from each album. The Blackening is an incredible album and most metal fans should always know that. For a band to write so many epics on one album and play such melodic yet such heavy music is astounding. I still cannot believe how they were able to write that album and its entirety. Yes, Robb called Phil out on his actions and it did create havoc. It shows the fans true colors too. Phil is a POS to even do that and Robb had every right to call him out. He is a man for sticking up to one of the 'fathers' of that genre. Every metal fan knows Phil is a huge vocalist, big name, but as Robb said, he's a big bully. A lot of people look up to musicians and when someone like Phil makes a comment and gesture like that, that's not cool. Robb may have 'lost' those 'fans', but if they left because Robb had the balls to call Phil out, they weren't true fans. He's a good hearted person. He is one of the most down to earth musicians I look up to. Machine Head fans don't need those fakes to pretend to like the music. There's the door. Yeah Machine Head lost those fans or whatever you call them, but that doesn't matter, nor does Machine Head playing big stadiums. I've seen Machine head at least 3 times and I'm seeing them in February. I have seen them at Mayhem Fest and in a small bar. At Mayhem, they were told they couldn't play Halo, so they told the stage manager to fuck off and they played the 10 minute song even though they only had a couple minutes left. They are forced to play certain songs at festivals which doesn't allow the band to be themselves. At "An Evening With", they play for 2-3 hours and get to play whatever the hell they want. It's in a small venue, but that is about the best experience any fan can get. There is a really close relationship between the fans and the band when playing in a small venue with 200-300 people. The sound quality is fantastic, every one gets equal opportunity to see the band at a good view, it's amazing. So good that I'm go to my third "An Evening With" and this time I managed to get a VIP pass. To the people that don't know about Machine Head, I am sorry but you are missing out on so much. To me, they are the ultimate metal band. They play well melodically, heavy, and their transitions are so smooth they sound like completely different songs. If you haven't heard them or only heard their old stuff, you should really give a listen.

No rob never had any right calling Phil out, the only reason Phil said that was because some idiot kid in the audience kept screaming racist throughout the show, of course Phil is going to get pissed and shout that shit, I would’ve done same thing, Phil is anything but a racist, Rob was wrong to say that

they are my favorite band!

For me, its 1 & 5 and I used to be a huge fan up until Locust, then for me it started to become phoned-in; and then Robb himself - and again I agree with alot of his thoughts etc but he goes about it the wrong way and I totally get why people rip on him.

Burn my eyes is a master album and should be tracked fromt to back at least every month! Keep it real!

Machine Head is my second favorite band. First song that I heard was "Imperium" it still remains my favorite song. As for the drama between Robb and Phil I really don't care... All I care is about the music. I don't care who said what. I think in all of metal's history there were more stupid things said and nobody cared. I've seen comments that because of all this people stop listening to these bands (Machine Head and all the bands that Phil was in). I don't know... To me that's just funny. But oh well...

Machine Head are one of the few bands now days that know how to write great music. Mudvayne, Lamb of God, Machine Head, Chimaira. Put your skull through the wall.

Based. I agree.

I first got into MH through the Unto The Locust album, and it's still my favourite album of theirs. I don't like their nu metal section, but the rest of it is still good stuff, people should just leave them alone, they'll do what they want.

Slipknot and machine head will forever be my 2 favourite bands of all time. Slipknot for personal reasons and machine head due to my love of the Blackening cemented me as a permanent metal haed. And the Blackening still remains to this day my favourite album ever. No band, not even machine head themselves have been able to top it since in my honest opinion (Opinion Trigger Alert)

I've also been a fan since Burn My Eyes ... I think Robb's personality is just becoming too dominant in the music, particularly on the last album and especially on the new single track. Robb's passion has always been inspiring, but lately it seems a bit overbearing. I think the other band members need to exert more influence and round out the sound and approach MH is taking or things will start to splinter.

love machine head, blackening and locust insane albums

I don't understand how seconds apart you say they are uninspired and then you say they're trend hoppers for changing their sound!

I've been a MH fan sincethe early 90's: I loved them then, was depressed by them in the 99-200's, and now think they are exemplary. Live, they are phenomenal. Great band, great songs: good fun live an dwell worth watching. K, their past is sketchy Nu-metal, but I can excuse taht as that was better than most of Nu-metal at the tie. Since then, their music is wonderful. Long may they play!

They're better than Nu Metal if that's your point.

Isn't Metallica also a trendhopper band? And Stinkin Fart (Oh, I'm sorry I meant Linkin Park) and then Slipknot with the ginger snob on vocals?

Didn't know that David California likes metal.

The bridge riff on Imperium ripped off Death - Crystal Mountain.
