94 Rob Flynn: groove metalhead 99 Rob Flynn: COVID haircut

You have to give it to Rob Flynn though. He was trying to survive and keep his livelihood going…Look where he is now. Kept the MH brand alive and well.

I can't blame them. Making a decent livelihood with music is incredibly hard, let alone with metal, you would be surprised to see that there are even famous metal musicians that still hold a normal job to pay the bills. At the time Nu-Metal was exploding so they took their chance.

Nu metal wasn't all that bad but GODDAMN the hair these nu metal bands had were ridiculous

Deftones were definitely a nu metal band it's just they had more left field influences coming from the indie and goth scenes of the 80s. They also sound a bit like 90s post hardcore like helmet and quicksand.

Well Deftones are ripping themselves off now. Your just jelly.

Rob went from underground legend to a social media warrior

they went from blistering fast and crunching heavy riffs and drums n shit, to “yeah yeah yeah hold that head up high” or whatever the fucking lyrics are kesus

i have to say Burning red is also my favorite, since im not really a fan. albeit, its my fave for the wrog reason probably lol. thanks for the feedback!!!

I became a machine head fan with the burning red... so I know older fans became frustrated by it, for me it was THE SHIT back then and became fan ever since, now I enjoy each one of Machine head eras... escept maybe "Catharsis" that album really sucks! Saw thm live in October, they were awesome! they still play The Burning Red hit "From this day" and I realized I still know all the lyric by heart, every word just came to me.

Well. Slayer also went through Nu Metal in 1998 and 2001 on a lesser scale. My first album was "Through the Ashes of Empires", so I did not even get "Burn my Eyes". Instead, waited for "The Blackening" and got it. "Who the fuck listens to Dope?" - Static-X, obviously. 🤣

Hahaha hell yes

It's not even that I have a problem with Nu-metal it just felt like such an odd shift from a band I was a pretty big fan of and had seen live in '99, the exact tour you mentioned. I still have the ticket stub I believe I showed off in my review too ha! The More Things Change had such unique riffs I swear, and Burn My Eyes of course was heavy as fuck. The chimes especially, and I can rarely seem to get my guitar perfectly in tune with them! No matter how hard I try I can't get much into The Burning Red. It's not like it's a terrible album, but it's so goddamn different than what I was used to at the time, it never made that impact on me the way the others did. "Sub-par rapping with teenage conflict noise made for America's angry junior high kids." That is literally spot on lmao.

I thought it was funny as hell.

Back in the 90s, as a fan of Burn My Eyes, I definitely did not like their turn to nu-metal. But the thing that stands out about Machine Head, is that Burn My Eyes is the only album from the mid-90s that I really liked at the time but today I can no longer see what I enjoyed about it anymore. Hell, I can even still see why I loved Korn's debut back then. So, Machine Head were never really any good, they just got worse.

I've got BMY, my parents didn't take to it,it's funny I deliver to a 'ROBINSON' on my parcel route.

I love that album

I actually really liked this album its not as good as some of their other work but I think I defend it because I'm a pretty big nu Metal fan

Crazy to see how other genrs like Rock/Alternative deal with the same issues we do in Hip Hop/Rap. People claiming an artist is selling out because they change up or they want to appeal to a wider audience. Don't listen to alot of Nu Metal but the Burning Red album sounds dope to me.

I am late cause I randomly got this video but The Blackening is a classic

Damn ROB FLYN spitting on some metal riff ... what! That' shits sounds kinda hard...🤨🎊🎉

I love the locust and the blackening albums best but i like all Machine Head. There a great band. Thier new metal era wasnt thier best work but some songs are great. I love crashing around you and the lyrics are awesome and nothing left is pretty good to.

It was insincere them doing nu metal but if they stayed them with the grove metal thrash metal with the nu metal like slayer and Metallica did on their nu metal like on god hates us all and st anger machine head nu metal LP's would have been better but that catharsis LP showed they can't do a real good nu metal thrash metal LP

part of robb flynns hatered for pantera stems from the fact they always overshadowed them

I never really got into the whole nu metal thing, but Machine Head is one of my all time favorite bands. With that being said, I was kinda bummed when they dropped the burning red. It did however wind up growing on me & is one of my favs. My least favorite of theirs was always Supercharger. Although Catharsis took that spot, once that dropped. I'll always love MH & I actually really dig the new album.

What about supercharger? I know you listen to that album.

Nu-Metal/RapCore Rulez!!! (In my opinion)

🤘🏼

Robb Flynn is stunning and brave

Machine head is prolly top 2 or 3 favorite bands of mine but my introduction to em was the burning red then i heardcall their other stuff but supercharger is still one of my top favorite records of theirs.

I listened to Burn My Eyes and liked it but man the nu-metal stuff (especially that more recent one) actively put me off the band. Thankfully, I decided to listen to The Blackening which was amazing. Tbh I dont listen to nu-metal stuff anymore so thats a big reason why it put me off. I had a phase of enjoying a few of them but I like my more "raw/pure" kind of metal. If you havent at the very least check out The Blackening because that album was too good to be true

SELL OUT!

I remembered i bought the burning red album and hated it! I only listen to it once and got rid of the cd.never looked back at that time.🤨?

All bands who all of the sudden put NuMetal in it always decrease in popularity.

Has nobody called you out for using a picture of Adam Duritz from Counting Crows as a picture of Jonathan Davis of Korn?

That was some embarrassing shit.

The burning red sucked I was so disappointed when I bought it without hearing any songs first.

I hated those nu metal wannabe LP's they haven't made a good nu metal thrash metal fusioned

Not the greatest machine head fan over here either (to tell you the truth "Burn my eyes" is the only LP of theirs I listened from beginning to end). But I must say, that said album is pretty, pretty good. The rest of their shit I don't care for, there is a good song here and there. But as a whole, only "Burn my eyes" made me headbang and stomp! And to tell you the truth, I find Rob a bit annoying, I don't know the guy, he may be the sweetest human being alive, but from all the interviews, podcasts, and social media presence, he gives off that pompous, pretentious, I'm better than you vibe. Just my opinion.

The only thing I liked about Machine Head was Burn My Eyes when they had Chris Kontos on drums. Even before they went full nu, they did some pretty cringey stuff. "LET FREEDOM RING WITH A SHOTGUN BLAST!" makes me think of Midwestern dudes drinking Monster energy drinks while wearing Tapout clothing.
