Good times

[@maand0]

Fuck I'm 42 wtf

[@polaris8126]

Same here.. I was 15 also,when this shit came out. Me with my metalhead friends totaly lost our mind,when we start listened to Davidian. Instant moshpit strated in our tiny room,which it ended up a little fight,cause my buddy kicked me so hard on my leg,it almost broken. Still remember 😂Not suprisingly he later became a thai box champ. 😀 That summer was all about Machine Head. when we were out running,cycling,or working out in our home made gym, it Always yelled from our crapy hifi (we had the album on casette Lol!) Best memories. 😀😀😀 All the Best for you,guys! Robert,from Budapest,Hungary.

[@nicondottiere]

upvote if you want Machine Head to have this line up officially forever.

[@deniz1205]

Even though the original line up is cool and everything and their honourable to fill in untill the new guys arrive, me personally don't want to have Logan and Chris back in officially because obviously if Phil n Dave never left then we all wouldn't even be seeing these guys here what so ever so it feels kind of sloppy seconds to officialy invite these guys back in. To me Phil n Dave will always be the original because I first heard of Machine Head very late (I believe it was a year before The Blackening was released) so I always see Logan and Chris as formers even though they are the originals it's kind of weird but yeah even if they do end up rejoining then that's quite cool but would be really sick it Rob got two. New guys even though they got a lot to fill in for especially Phil but whatever route Rob takes then Im game.

[@metalhammer5]

Its easier said than done..

[@EdwinvanKoppen]

Keep Kontos!

[@EdwinvanKoppen]

@@deniz1205 funny, i felt that after Kontos left the band had lost it energy, albums after Burn were nice but not on the same level. Maybe those guys are technical beter they miss the energy from Kontos for me.

[@nicondottiere]

yeah it makes sense if you started with MH late. I imagine it would be the same with an early ACDC fan who would only consider Bon Scott as the true singer. I always prefered Brian Johnson by far for example.

[@HalifaxCollect]

Love this so much. Logan's hair is stuck in some sort of nu-metal vortex.

[@gunsrazorsknives-9061]

Great seeing Logan and Kontos back in the band. Would love to see this line up record a new album together and go back to touring with a band opening for them.

[@lucianisidro]

They are touring all over the place with this.

[@Sumpfkrebs]

That could be difficult. Kontos had been fired in '95 because of his lack of motivation for larger tours, and Logan because of his alcohol and drug abuse after ,,The More Things Change" (maybe resulting from the bigger successes and more intense tour-album-cycles, I don't know). Meanwhile, Machine Head are in another scale than 25 years ago. I mean, I really would appreciate it, when they returned to the band full-time, but how do you prevent that they quit again, with giant tours in the back, combined with the enormous expectations to release another killer album?

[@caseyplooy1696]

GunsRazorsKnives - Dave > Chris

[@gunsrazorsknives-9061]

I’m a massive fan of McLain as well. Thought he was the perfect fit for MH, his drumming on all of their albums was top shelf, especially on TMTC.

[@gunsrazorsknives-9061]

I realise that, I just wish they would go back to having a different band opening for them, instead on just ‘A night with Machine Head’.

[@loco4201]

even though metallica was my first concert... Slayer, Machine Head, Biohazard was my first rememberable show. I got my face blown off and speared in the head with a human body, will never forget that one... I didnt even know who machine head was at the time... I went and literally bought Burn my Eyes the next damn day. Can't wait for this tour to come to my town omg!!!!!

[@Tonedefz]

The mix on these studio versions is incredible! Never heard such crisp sounding metal \m/

[@TheIronMonkey616]

Check out their Dynamo 95 set, it's a thing of beauty and they are recreating it just a little bit cleaner, I'm stoked to bits hearing this

[@philanaemic]

@Arised if it was recorded to a click they may have just edited a couple of takes together.

[@caseyplooy1696]

James K He didn’t do the same fills he did on the album and changed a couple other things........so, yeah, that to me was kinda struggling. This dude is going to have BIG shoes to fill playing Daves parts.

[@llamaofvinter5801]

@@caseyplooy1696 Not saying I disagree on him struggling or anything (but it sounds kickass so who gives a fuck what it looks like), but what part of Burn My Eyes do you think McClain wrote exactly? Kontos and Mader are not officially joining the band. They're on tour to celebrate/make some cash on the Burn My Eyes anniversary. That means they're only playing their material from their album, Kontos isn't touching McClain's material. That is to be performed by the as of yet unannounced official drummer for the band.

[@caseyplooy1696]

Southy What’s with the insults? Is chris your boyfriend or what? He was only in the band for one album.....for what seems like obvious reasons to me.........but I have no idea what I’m talking about when comes to drumming right. You just keep thinking you know everything.

[@will.i.am_copeland]

Kontos for the win. It's one thing to come back, and hit these fairly "basic" riffs...but at 50yrs old to re-visit these drum tracks - respect.

[@CK1968VAX]

Thanks

[@Hellwyck]

I'd hardly call the BME tracks "basic drumming"

[@will.i.am_copeland]

@@Hellwyck I'm saying I respect the hell out of him for coming back, and nailing these absolutely brutal drum tracks. They are a lot for even a younger drummer to pull off. What I was referring to as "fairly basic" was the guitar riffs - on some of the songs on that album. That said, BME pioneered a sound, and laid a foundation that the subsequent albums have stood strong on. I have been with these guys since '95, and love all of their work. Seen them many times. I'm in Phoenix and caught the 1st BME show. Was beyond amazing.

[@will.i.am_copeland]

@@CK1968VAX Thank YOU!! Caught the 1st BME show in the States, in Phoenix. Was literally a dream-come-true to see you back behind the kit, playing these songs that were SUCH an important part of my youth.

In 1994 I was 15 years old and I was spending my monthly pocket money cumulated with what I had earned in the summer to buy myself a cd per month. "Burn my Eyes" has had such an impact that it has become one of my favorites. I'm 41 years old now and I'm enjoying this reunion so much.

I grew up not allowed to listen to music (Pentecostal Christian household ) so when I was 13 back in 1997 I started somewhat rebelling , my musical awakenings involve machinehead and Metallica, and many others. First time I heard machine head it was like a million volts going through my body I remember my friend putting them on really loud and just being still and amazed and shocked! that's how I started playing guitar. I used to listen to machinehead in secret , along with metallica, nirvana, alice in chains, etc etc. Forever a fan of machinehead! 🤘🎶🤘🎵🤘
