Dave was one of my drumming hero’s for a very long time, I guess he still is. This is the first time it’s felt the same, you play the parts like you wrote them, incredible job Matt.

[@birtum]

So BUTTERY. That song is such a treat live, and that breakdown in the middle is way too good. Insane video, as always 🤘🏽🧈

[@MattAlston]

🤣🤣🤣 I love how ‘Buttery’ has become an everyday phrase now! Haha, thanks man 🤘🏻

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

As a long time Machine Head fan and have been to a few of their shows, I will vouch that these guys NEVER had a bad drummer! Matt, you are doing a phenomenal job, awesome performance! I'm a guitar player in a band myself. Hopefully, we will jam with you guys some day! \,,/

[@MattAlston]

Thank you dude, I really appreciate it!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

@@MattAlston you're very welcome. I met the guy's once when they were at Ozzfest in Charlotte, N.C. 2006. That's when the original drummer was with them. Like I said though, all you drummers' are awesome! My band isn't publicly known yet, but, we are set to distribute a few demos soon. We are a mix of Death, Thrash, Melodic, hardcore, old school, etc. Striving to be different snd true to ourselves..... wait, it might've been the Rockstar Energy drink Mayhem Fest in Raleigh.....I made up a full photo album with just those photos I took.... Disturbed headlined.

[@jasperg35]

I've really enjoyed Machine Head's music style for a few decades, and your drumming style and ability are so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this perspective/angle of your performance! For drummers - this is quite a treat.

Machine Head is my favorite band and I'm glad that you're part of them now, powerful playing, you will be one of my reasons to keep practicing even more, for sure. I can't wait to hear new MH songs in future and for sure I will try to record drum covers for your songs. Just like I did it for My Hands Are Empty :) enjoy !!!

[@MattAlston]

Right on man! Thanks for the kind words!! I hope to be able to record with the guys soon... who knows when that will happen though 👎🏻👎🏻

[@Bruno13biloglav]

@@MattAlston I hope that you will record soon, at least the most important thing is that you and your bandmates will record sooner or later, good luck with everything!
