MACHINE HEAD - MAKING of "Is There Anybody Out There?" (Pt. 2)

[@j.a.morrison1018]

Robb your vocal style is hands down one of the top in metal, its sounds so full of aggression, your the man brother.

[@lulz71]

This is pure and simply why I love this band and especially Robb. This person is one of the most inspiring people one the planet! Thank you Robb, for doing what you do and I will never forget anything you've said in this video.You truly have all my respect for everything said in it and in the song as well. Be strong Brother, because you are not alone! We are out there and will stand for you. Every day. Until the end! Because that's what family is for and even though we may be from completely different generation, born on the opposite sides of the globe, there is one thing that unites us and that is our love for this band and the music you guys do! Thank you for helping us escape from the Darkness Within! Lastly, thank you for giving me the opportunity to high five one of my greatest inspirations ever- You, Robb! (24.09.2015 Sofia- Bulgaria) Peace Brother!

[@SergeantPatato]

Being one of more than hundreds of thousands humble observers from all over the globe, I sincerely sympathize Robb. "Music is about believing what you're saying". He said. And it's right. Keep it. Through the years the music of Machine Head helped its fans to overcome their fears, their negative thoughts and go on living no matter what.... I hope you really feel the support of us, the fans. THIS is the right time to give you back what you're giving us throuh your shows and records. We are with you, Robb! We are with you, Machine Head! Stay true! Stay rock'n'roll! Love and respect!

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Joel is one lucky bastard! I"m sure his mix will be outstanding!

[@experimetalfan8851]

+SpectreSoundStudios Gleennnnn!

[@Ron_Padgett]

Yes it does need to be said Robb! I'm only one person but I've got your back and I'm with you all the way!

[@filippocastagneto3642]

I Agree

[@brodierookhuyzen108]

Me too!

[@fristi61]

Thanks for having the balls to do this, Robb. We're out there & we're listening.

[@barryshaw7304]

Listening with what? You're ass?

[@Himmelslaub]

Seeing how determined you were to see this through to the end and standing up for what you believe in makes me appreciate the song a lot more. Much props and respect to you, Robb! Also, I'm glad you didn't go with the online shrine lyric, haha

[@Staminist-MMF-80]

I believe this is what MH was all about the whole time ;)

[@peerkes77]

Watching this video gave me goosebumps.. shivers down my spine.. and I am not a person who gets that easily. I believe you are most right by saying those words. Being a musician is talking about your emotions, feeling and thoughts to your public and they will listen. There are a lot of us out there and you will definitely not be alone! I love the song, f*cking strong lyrics. Thank you for standing up this way.

[@barryshaw7304]

I feel sorry for your Dad, and you know why...

[@peerkes77]

Brave of you for disagreeing, but to start insulting is kind of sad and childish…

[@barryshaw7304]

Peter Smits Yeah, not so much an insult as a comment, but never the less if you could see this worm as grand standing for his own gain you would feel foolish. But that's not gonna happen is it?

[@peerkes77]

I see your point of view, but isn’t that so with all opinions said publically? You’ll win some, you’ll lose some… I just respect the guy for standing up against racism and I like their music, that’s all. And sure, a bit of drama goes well online…

[@SteanPP]

This is one of the many reasons I love Machine Head they stand up for metal and have a voice for the many in the metal community

[@metalhead8686]

You are the man Robb. Great human being, great musician

[@grumpyoldmetalgeektv2435]

Robb, I can guarantee The Wyrd Ways Rock Show WILL be playing "Is Anybody Out There?" You know what? Machine Head's fanbase is worldwide. If a few arseholes in the South and Mid-West of America and some places in Europe get offended by what you've got to say... they should be seriously considering their lives. Keep it up, Mr Flynn. My respect for you is only increasing. The Wyrd Ways Rock Show and the crew behind it are fully with you.

[@Mario-fv3zs]

Just trust your gut feeling and sing what you wanna sing Robb.

[@lowpricedpaint]

That's what I think too, stop planning it to please everyone.

[@angusduke122]

Just listened to the song and just wanna say a few things. First, you guys have got a bad ass song on your hands. It is catchy, its got a great beat, and it has the thing that I think is what makes it "Machine Head". A message. Something that it wants to (and successfully so) deliver to the listeners. And you were right Rob; this is gonna start a war. But you were also right on the account that this had to be said. There is too much gone wrong in the metal community where this amount, or ANY amount for that matter, of hate is tolerated. Metal isnt about hating the common man for being different, its about STANDING with your common man against those who try to keep us down. And i know that there is still a good majority out there who havent been corrupted and still stay true to what they believe metal is about to them. So yes. We are still out here Rob. And we will stay here by your side till the end of fucking time brother. Rock on \m/

[@DidoDGaming]

I really love the song !

[@rogerduckwall4146]

Way to go sticking to your guns guys for keeping the lyrics on the 2nd verse. MACHINE HEAD FOREVER!!!!! Hail to the Head Cases!!!

[@TheYann]

Just say the words, let it out. A lot of kids need to hear that! I've been listening Machine Head for 20 years man, I've seen you live so many times, and every time the power of the WHOLE Machine Head was exactly what I needed: the songs, the guitars, the distortions, and the drums. But every time the message was understood by hundreds. Machine Head must continue to be exactly that, powerful messages. Robb I'm sorry about those fuckers threatening you and I really don't want you or your family to get hurt ... But I really cannot wait to listen to that song loud and share it. This madness has to stop, and I cannot tell you how much your words resonated in my head, I feel the same way. So yeah, there are people out there, and believe me we don't want those fuckers around any more. I'm with you guys, keep on doing what you do best, and fuck them, fuck white supremacy, fuck extremists, fuck all of those who just live to fuck shit up. Is there anybody out there?

[@jarir25]

Well fucking said!

[@leechmaster21]

The difference is if you listen to Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies it showed supremacist viewpoints from a range of different humans. Nowdays Robb's all about no, bad YT! Now how do I atone for this inferior skin I'm wearing so the Black man won't kill me...

[@TheNobleAthelstane]

Way to show integrity Robb! Good for you and good for us!

[@IanVase]

Props guys. Song is awesome. The message is awesome.

[@oxeqdoidera]

''Is there anybody out there"? You fucking bet, Robb! We're all with you guys. You've said all that needs to be said on this new killer song. Long live Machine Fucking Head!

[@taylormarvin8078]

What a class act. You are the man Robb! \m/

[@pkj77]

HELL YEAH PUT the 2ND verse out there!! fuck radioplay the song kick ass

[@Crumbs6969]

Lyrics: takemyscars.com/Machine_Head_-_Is_There_Anybody_Out_There-2016-Nuclear_Blast_Entertainment

[@maikkunath4098]

First of all, fucking amazing song. Horns up for that. Secondly, Robb, speak your mind and say the things that need to be said. Horns up for having the balls to do that, a lot of people are too scared to even think about it. Musical freedom of speech is what keeps us sane. I've been pulled apart for some of the lyrics I wrote. My attitude to that: "Fuck 'em all!". If we can't say what moves us where's the point in the first place. Listen to over produced pop crap and their lyrics, they only think about their sales margin. Stay true to yourself and keep safe.

[@georgesoulsmoothies3292]

Yes, it needs to be said. Now more than ever. This is what Machine Head is all about. Months before the start of second world war people in Austria and Germany were reflecting upon the same question. They felt the same fear. However it turned out to be too late. My 2 grandfathers were forced to fight on the wrong side.

[@vauxonce]

You are very courageous and a true man I love you Robb

[@vauxonce]

+Kelly Roberts I love you Kelly ;)

[@mhairi13christi]

I love it, and it definitely needs said. Met you guys at the Glasgow vip on the 'Evening with' tour - you said before about so many people telling you that tour was a bad idea and would never work...but you went with what you felt was right and it paid off big time (for us fans anyway, hopefully you guys enjoyed it all despite all the shit you were having to deal with at the same time). You do what so many people are afraid to do, and yea you will be scared too, but you still do it, you don't just brush it under the rug and hope it will go away. The world needs more people like you - as musicians, as people with influence, and as normal decent fucking human beings! It's scary the backlash you have got for speaking out against racism and extremism etc, because it means people are still buying in to that crap! I just don't get it... but hearing songs like this, and seeing the process behind it, it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who doesn't get what the fuck the problem is with the world

[@R1ffm4n]

You are doing the only right thing! Go further!

[@SonusMortis]

Keep telling yourself it's a good catchy pop song Rob haha.

[@ivana6382]

I love the new song a lot! Been having the melody stuck in my head since the making of part 1 was uploaded. All I can say is that I have a massive amount of respect for Robb Flynn, because no matter what kind of shit people throw at him, he continues to make music. I'll say it again, I respect him. This video really touched me, but it's great to see people keep standing behind him and so do I.

[@TrephineArtist]

I'm not really into the song (its definitely catchy though and has grown on me a little after a few plays) but fair play to you Robb. I love the honesty as always. Still out here waiting for the next MH album and tour ;)

[@yvesheinrich5013]

Awesome song! The melodic and the orchestral sound is freaking awesome!!! I'm proud of being a Machine Head fan and I'm proud of Robb for what he stands for!

[@zifri]

I'm from Venezuela man and I love it. Keep doing what you're doing Robb.

[@fezzverbal]

Machine Fucking Head, fucking best band. We're with you Robb \m/

[@averageearthenjoyer19]

Skip to 20:02 to watch a grown man in his 40s film himself looking out a window to a 'heartfelt' piano soundtrack. Comedy gold

[@oskar356]

The only thing comedic is you having Brazil in your name

[@explorerrocker09]

It's hilarious, I don't know if I can take this seriously it's kind of like his life is falling down around him

[@averageearthenjoyer19]

The way he's talking you'd think this song is gonna change the world and is the first to have a message in its lyrics...instead it's just a shitty rock radio song lol

[@explorerrocker09]

+Darryl Brazil Who'd have thought a guy that once wrote heavy af riffs and lyrics would be using social media to show the downfall of his career/life in 2016

[@lern2swim]

Right. We'll see how his career ends up going. How's yours?

[@Samuraiox]

I fucking love this new song!! It's sounds like a transition to a song that hasn't been written yet. From the powerhouse assault that was 'Darkness Within' and this sense of the world knocking you to the ground and taking a second to realize what happened. And this piece now as a transition when you're starting to put all your faith inside yourself and wiping the blood from your mouth...I can't wait to hear the next record and whatever song that is that 'you stand up and take the world on' :) Cheers guys!

[@barryshaw7304]

Get a life, or a clue, or a brain! FAST!!!

[@unknown_user2345]

Sorry for my bag english, but I want to said it. Thank you for all. You are one of the honerest man I have ever seen and I will ever see. And the new Song are beautiful in so many things. Its not the normally Maschine Head, but fuck off that. This text has a really good message, so why not. It tells about problems and if you has a brain, not like the Nazis, you must think about that. Im a german Man, and its so sad when you see Nazis today. Im very lucky that you fight with them with your art, the Music. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

[@metaldrummer47]

Great track & it makes it better understanding the passion that went into it for sure

[@Blakes1984]

machine head fans will always stand by you! Your passion and love for music inspires us all! Keep doing what you are doing being real and genuine! It brings the best out in you.fuck all haters.how you can get death threats over this is sickening! You don't need radio play! You are the best band in the world at the moment and your evenings with machine head proved that! I had the honour of meeting you guys in Nottingham and you are the humblest group of guys anyone could meet! Big love to the band! Keep going you guys are heavy metal 🤘🏻

[@HauntedAbysss]

First things first. . thank you guys for not giving up and working real hard on your music, I love Bloodstone and a lot of metal fans love the latest album as well. The mixing is beautiful smart and deep and I think the depth is what gives Machine Head it's sound. You guys work so hard on making music what it is and that's what people love even if it doesn't go mainstream Don't Force It that's not what the fans want. Make the record that is Machine Heads next page. Make it about what pushes you or drives your thoughts,family,career,life... that has meaning. Great work on the background violin and cello to the song and I hope to hear more variations on the song. Maybe a Alternative bonus song. The rythem has promise. I'm very excited to hear more. I heard a demo or sample already and felt it needed work. Amazing work tho none the less. Finally I'm glad you guys did a update! Love to see these things. 👏

[@godfathermikal]

Courage is being afraid, but saying it anyway. Say it. It needs to be said. You are being courageous by standing up and speaking what needs to be said. Thank you.

[@LorriSanga]

You have one member that has hated from the start, another member that thinks that it falls short and doesn't sound like MH. Yet it's still released and played live.

[@GRStudios666]

Respect! Robb is the man.

[@one-eye1721]

I guess you could see this moment as the beginning of the fracture between Robb and Phil and Dave.

[@sevenman9672]

Became the Robb Flynn show even more then before

[@wimpynz]

Robb, Machine Head, thank you for this and thank you for your art for the last 20 years as a listener. Seeing you struggle with the reality of what occurred at Dimebash, the real and potential fallout both personally and commercially is something that we as listeners don't get an insight into too often. I hope your art continues to find the listeners it deserves. Massive amounts of respect.

[@Nathair]

Finally part 2!!! Dying to hear the album!

[@92dunbar]

This is just a random single. They haven't mentioned a new album yet.

[@Nathair]

But in time there will be one! haha

[@experimetalfan8851]

heard the song last week ...felt a little burning red vibe (because of the vocals) I LIKE THAT.

[@artm1895]

I stand behind Robb no matter the lyrical context. I'm born and raised a Texan and Hispanic & native descent at that. racism doesn't faze me one bit. but for those who stand against it against their own icons, brother more power to you.

[@huntermorse8049]

I got your back!! Song kicks ass !!

[@JDollmusic]

kudos! documentary was a great little watch as well.. brave to let people in on the process..

[@maygarcia7907]

THANKS, AND YESSSS! IT HAS TO BE SAID, OF COURSE. THANKS

[@LWalsh0]

You did the right thing. That's why you play music. To let your emotions come out with sound.

[@AlexBarnettMusic]

Great song guys! Well done!

[@draconianhell]

Can't wait to have itttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[@Xanaphisia]

Great Song - You did the right thing!! - Just bought it on Itunes I will stand with machine head!

[@pastlifeofficial]

that song is soooo fucking great :) \m/

[@pastlifeofficial]

and robb, you dont need to be fucking scared! do what the fuck you gotta do! fuck that racism shit and those death threats! fuck the people that dont beleive in you, and fuck all the racist people in this fucked up world! and yes, there are people out there! they are out there with you and machine head! you guys just changed my life and thousands of peoples lives with your "i dont give a shit about what people think" - attitude! do what youre doing right now and remember: there are people out there and were with you, Robb! \m/ thanks for being with us!

[@spikeytee1388]

ive heard the new track a few times and i will say not at all was i offended in fact i fully agree with everything you sang about in the song, Phil was out of order through his appaling actions and words of racial hate, he has potentially changed the metal community forever. a community that for as long as i have been involved with which has been since 1998, is usually accepting of everyone no matter the colour of their skin or sexual preference and has no hate or animosity towards anyone in terms of race, sexual orientation etc so when you say does it need to be said yes, yes it does absoultely it does and as many others who agree with you have stated, i too have your back say no to racism, sexism, any kind of intolerance in metal keep going Robb

[@Ramul]

I don't know where Robb & Machine Head has been living for the past couple of years, but radio is fucking dead! Just upload the damn song on KZbin. If it's great it will be shared on different social media platforms. That's how things go viral these days.

[@insanemtl5890]

I first heard it yesterday and I was quite sceptical, I also thought: "Does this need to be said again?" Pretty dumb thought. Now seing this, I get it, fully. Nazis threatening to disrupt the show in Dresden is a fucking shame. I'm ashamed of what kind of idiots live in the same country as I.

[@leechmaster21]

Sounds like swinging too far left has implications on the pendulum...

[@670oliver]

+Your Mother hahaha XD a Muslim invasion are you an idiot! why the hell would a group of majority peaceful people want to invade? I'm going to take a random guess that you're American, or most likely western like myself, if their is anyone who going to do any invading it's going be the ignorant elitist governments of the Westerb countries if people like you continue to ram prejudice in the face of peaceful people.

[@meneocuskill3371]

Anybody Out There is AWESOME! Scream it ROBB FLYNN!!!! We are out there ......

[@daniellaurel646]

Now more than ever, play it in concert!!

[@Lappuz]

Good song, it has a interesting vibe

[@ChrisKun]

Oh Robb, we had a fucking awesome eye contact flirt moment back in rockwave athens 2012!! Shit... i miss that day...

[@670oliver]

massive respect to you man \m/ one of the real humans in music today :) Anselmo need to be held accountable

[@leechmaster21]

ALways dealing out the justice aren't you fascist. Yes, you are what you profess to hate.

[@670oliver]

+Your Mother I'm sorry? saying that someone should be held accountable (take responsibility for their actions) is not fascist, the fact that because of his status he can just bounce back is inequality in its highest form. I'm not dealing out justice when asking for people to be treated as the natural equals they are.

[@670oliver]

+Your Mother your really should pick up a book on political ideologies because reading your replys on many comments it's evident you have no idea what the political spectrum looks like one what your are talking about.

[@MrWildchild92]

When I became a roadie a few years agp, Phil was one of the first big guys I met backstage, the first from who I had the posters when I grew up, we had some drinks had a chat, I always thaught he was a nice guy afterwards, he really made an nice impression on me. It was so disappointing to see what happened at Dimebash, since then, adios Phil, nice to meet you but it will never happen again.

[@leechmaster21]

Yeah because you are good, and Phil is bad. Naughty Phil! You show him MrWildchild92...

[@Guitarmaster100nico]

So much respect for this guy man... Surprised he can walk at this point with such huge balls

[@Mrdesb94]

Love the song!

[@juanpamolina]

I don't like much Machine Head. But I respect them...I respect so much Robb Flynn and his standing against Racism. Keep it up! Someone once told that the art that does not heal it's not art... And as NIN once said: Art can change hearts without breaking bodies...

[@absurdityisolation6192]

I'm from Florida and everyone i know loves this fucking song!

[@BlackenedKhaos]

RUN YOUR MOUTH WHEN I'M NOT AROUND ITS EASY TO ACHIEVE!!!......I definitely hear the violins lol

[@Zombiecrusadeofdarkness678]

I think these guys need to do another album, cuz that album from 2014 that they did was awesome,

[@kennydoomster]

Robb likes to run his mouth when Phil's not around, it's easy to achieve. He likes to cry to weak friends that sympathise. Can youi hear the violins -playing your song, Robb? Those same friends tell Phil your every word... (I agree with Robb by the way :P)

[@brodierookhuyzen108]

@MachineHead thanks guys for saying what had to be said. Love the song can't wait for the album guys. And Robb I need your help with some band stuff...

[@Loriclarke555]

I have always been a Machine Head fan, but this incident involving Phil Anselmo has made me even more of a fan. Despite me being a fan of Pantera over the years, I loved that Robb showed integrity and was super fucking brave. The hallmark of a great man worthy of respect is his adherence to his moral convictions, regardless of his popularity or record sales. Fuck the haters, man! I wish I had seen this video 8 years ago. 💪🤘💕

[@tjgolf]

All new respect for you brother

[@tuskuneanno]

You have support hear down south man say what you gotta say Robb cause you know all of us got your back.Keep the music real man and you'll have all of us as your fans at your back when you need us.

[@mattmartinez7135]

You rock Flynn.

[@aswollengoat]

I thought Rob just ate a pile of steaming shit and threw it all up on the mic, I had no idea they worked this much on making something so awful

[@caraudiocrazy]

Well put Robb!!

[@Jeffmetal42]

.... so people still gave a shit about that?? Or did he just fan the flames again, stir the shit stick to make headlines for his "heroic lyrics", and make a SUPER melodramatic documentary about a song he wrote that isn't what I'd consider to be anywhere near a decent MH tune? Am I getting this right? Sure, I don't necessarily agree with what Phil did, but I'm more surprised that people were surprised by it. Let it go, dude was trashed, showed his true colors (no pun intended) and made an ass of himself done and done.

[@EddieNilsson1973]

Love it..!!! Awesome song..

[@fernypirata1054]

I love that song...really!!

[@highsolstice5239]

Much respect Robb! Stay true!

[@Chemaclass]

I love to much this song

[@desantos1234]

well done Rob

[@WaddupYa]

great to see the transition in momentum, seems like the happening at Dimebash was the point where the song got bigger meaning. Though I don't really get where there is to be so scared about. Can anyone explain?

[@Bingo2501]

Awesome!

[@bellaad1]

Well said Robb!

[@zolikar1]

Guys I don't understand, he said he feels disconnected to the metal community for some time. Last year on the evening with Machine Head I had the best of times. I do not understand, is there anybody out there who understands? Its at 18:54

[@GoogLf2]

Definitely different, but sounds awesome !

[@rocioiribe5841]

the guy playing the violin is from a band called The Brothers Comatose, who i love, but they couldn't be more the opposite of Machine Head. so fucking cool! :D :D :D gotta love musicians supporting musicians.

[@365daysgone]

what is the bloodline record?

[@ralcala7732]

Awesome song!!!

[@strik979]

its a good song. it speaks

[@tylerwilkes8202]

how do you do that

[@Nan-vi3ro]

I love the song actually!

[@MacGyver_Lamb]

Love the song. Hate that racists impacted Robb's personal life for simply stating racism is wrong.

[@jonnygoat15]

I stand with Robb

[@fernypirata1054]

Absolutely no regrets rob

[@deadhead_012]

Yes those lyrics need to be heard. Always stand behind what you believe, don't appease the masses for money.

[@margaridacosta270]

which song starts at 17 minute?

[@ErumaroNaramien]

Really like the song and I like it even more after seeing behind the song stuff such as this. Keep it up guys and get your asses back to Sweden!
