For about 20 years ago my lovely brother has died dressed with a shirt of machine head . It was on a car accident.... He was an huge fan and i will never forget this band for my entire life .

[@rexrocker1268]

Sorry... I can’t imagine losing my brother, he’s my best friend and I am his. If I lost my life back in the day 20 years ago I’d probably be wearing a Pantera or Machine Head shirt too. So sorry for your loss... Breaks my heart, I can’t imagine how painful that is.

[@adriansmith3403]

Sorry to hear. Much love ❤️

[@Mike-bk5yc]

I know it's been 4 years forgive my tardiness my deepest prayers to you and your family

[@cotati76]

Losing a brother sucks. I lost one in 2005. I still miss him every day and am still overwhelmed with grief some days. My thoughts are with you. I was at this concert so I hope my brother was with me. He would have loved it.

[@mister_shiver8862]

Props to whoever mixed this, the sound is incredible

[@vortexofgenesis]

Dudes were around 50 when they played this show with 22 tracks in 2015. Simply wow.

[@OEpistimon]

They've been playing long ass sets for the couple last years, it's really respectable to see them pull it off.

[@THEREV468]

You also have guys in dream theater who are in there mid 50s almost 60 playing sets that are 3hours possibly even 4 hours long now, and they’ve been playing 2 hour sets around the time train of thought came out in the early 2000s so they’ve been doing that for a while,

[@JacobSuddreth]

I saw them a few months ago in a small club in Baltimore and they played for 3 hours straight it was insane especially since I was in the pit for 2 hours out of their set

[@Taurus1337]

I think the main reason is that Robb has amazing vocal technique, and can actually keep it up fr that long and still sound good.

[@realfishingde]

Saw them Yesterday in Munich. Played 3hrs+... Insanity

[@pulp735]

Whatever your personal opinions on Robb Flynn are, you gotta admit Machine Head is and always was a killer live band! They were really one of the best bands to come out that dark period in the 90s where American metal was on life support. They have had their ups and downs like all bands, but when Machine Head brings it, they can execute with the finest!

[@laszlonagy02]

Everyone can f*ck thier opinions, if they are still alive and killing it. I love every show and will never stop support the band.

[@FassinTaak]

Brilliant comment dude.

[@slayermill8621]

Such a bad ass show. I miss shows like this where the whole band is putting in 100% the whole time and the vocalist knows how to command the crowd to put in 100% in return.

Machine Head as a band has always been brutally underappreciated. The fact that they are able to write ten-minute-long songs without making them sounding boring to listen to is a true testament to their music skills.

[@skullkrusher4418]

Wow. Robb is such a professional. Hits all his notes, doesnt miss a single lyric, and all while getting the crowd involved at every step of the way. An incredible musician and incredible front man.

[@GCF-Media]

The best line up they had in the past 5 years

[@hugomagalhaes7477]

Concert without phones! This is miracle!

[@daniellongo7873]

Using phones would have made no sense, they were recording the show in pro shot

[@Ceruleannn]

that usually doesn't prevent people from doing it anyway. my guess is they were STRICTLY forbidden to use phones in any way, i've seen this happen at other concerts where dvds were being filmed. also, if people would have filmed this show and put it on youtube, it would expose how much of this material is re-recorded in the studio, because they never sound this tight at all (and in some shots it's just right there in your face, obvious). anyway, i don't mind much, they're still a good live band.

[@DashRantic]

Nope, phones weren't forbidden -- Robb quipped something at the beginning of Locust that people should put their phones down and live in the moment, but that was it. I think most folks knew that the show was being recorded, plus the crowd was pretty nuts the entire time so holding one's phone up would have been a great way to get knocked over :p Citation: I was at this show, one of the best concerts I've seen in my life. Really glad the footage was finally released.

Probs to the soundguy... This sounds fucking awsome

[@rexrocker1268]

It sounds insane. Can we get a live album of this? Maybe there is, gotta look. Imagine bumping this in your car with a decent sound system not just plain old TV speakers.

[@shepshe66]

yeah he's got this shit dialed in. but give it up to Robert and Crew jamming their ass off.

[@cah88]

Machinehead was my first concert when I was 15 years old. 20 years later, they are still my very favorite band. I saw the video on Instagram where Robb said that the guys quit on that previous Wednesday night. I about fell out of my chair in shock. Super happy they all agreed to do the last tour. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, they will fall in love all over again. Or, all of us fans create a Hollywood style movie plot hijinx to secretly get them back together. We just need a set of twins, a series of ingenious pranks, a little luck and a whole lot of love. THUMBS UP IF YOU'RE WITH ME!

[@godlessmetalhead5706]

My first band live was also my favorite band Machine Head, but I was 12.

[@adhamsalama4336]

Well, they never broke up.

[@rexrocker1268]

Machine Head is awesome. I saw them a couple times touring with Pantera, just a great team up. Both excellent performances. I miss Pantera... I gotta see Machine Head again, they kick ass.

[@thereignofdando]

Rob Flynn can occasionally say some pretty unsavoury things in the media/social media, but fark man, he does some pretty slick guitar playing, while singing. This is the end is pretty gnarly to have to play and sing. And sure, there's a few errors here and there, but I appreciate that it's all left in the DVD. Respect. EDIT: Also Jared's vocals are extremely legit.

[@Martmovie]

Also necessary to notice that he is pretty good as showman and singer/screamer. At least he was before he started loosing it

[@MermaidButter]

What, do you not agree with his political views, cause if so... Yikes.

[@MermaidButter]

@@Martmovie loosing it?, you mean using his voice to say fuck Trump and racists? The fuck are you talking about?

[@IPangkhor]

I love venues like these. Absolutely amazing! Machine Head is fucking bad ass. Stopped following couple of years ago when Phil and Dave left, but still, one of the best bands out there, and Rob Flynn is amazing vocalist and guitarist, real frontman. He’s ego probably got in the way of continuing with those guys, but like I said, absolutely crazy band!

[@mcgoat3150]

I didn't saw anyone that having this kind of stage strength. Such a powerful band. Start to the end directly no breaks or no knockouts.This is what metal musician should become on stage.A total badass beast is rob flynn.Hats off one to the greatest frontmans in metal history.

Eddie Van Halen created the nastiest amp of all time. Those 5150s are brutal!

[@thomasthrasher]

Did they both use the 5150?

[@rexrocker1268]

Is that what they are using now? They are dope, great tone. I bet if Dimebag was still with us he’d be using them too. Gojira uses the EVH amps sounds great. Awesome tone.

[@jessefoster8981]

It's all about what sound you are chasing. I wouldn't part with my EVH for anything, but i still lust after a Mesa Boogie because there are certain tones that each amp provides. Gets expensive lol

[@richevans609]

[@elbeltrano]

I've been watching this concert over and over again and I just got to say: 1 What a great band is Machine Head. 2 Jared is a beast on bass. Great addition. 3. Still hard for me to get used not to watch Phil Demmel with the band. 🤟🏿

[@cotati76]

I saw them right before the shut down in Oakland at the Fox Theater. New guitar player is legit. Plus they brought back their original guitar player and drummer and played Burn My Eyes straight thru. The show was 3.25 hours with only a 10 minute break. Always worth the price of admission.

[@metfan4l]

In the end it always comes down to money, would be my guess. I remember an interview with Burton and Dino from Fear Factory where they were being asked why the band hasn't done a live dvd and they just basically said their management told them in this day and age where you can find a 1000 different live clips on KZbin it doesn't make any financial sense to pump money into a professional dvd production unless you can guarantee a lot of sales.
