Machine Head's Robb Flynn - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?

[@animous0735]

Currently recovering from surgery due to an injury I sustained from a Machine Head concert. 10/10 would go again

If you got injured at a machine head show...youre doing it wrong. They put on a great show, but it's not dangerous by no means

[@MartinTrappen]

Rob: "Yes, It is about the Manson family murders." Graham: "Cool."

[@RC32Smiths01]

Man the amount of Fact or Fictions episodes lately have been absolutely unreal! Awesome to see this show making a comeback! Great work Loudwire!

[@FlyingV555]

RC32 agreed. I think what they do is they record 15-20 episodes and then space them out over every Wednesday until they run out of episodes. Then they film more episodes and repeat the process.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Maybe! But I'm simply astounded and absolutely pleased when I see them interviewing these amazing musicians

I discovered Machine Head seriously late... In 2020... I love this band and Robb Flynn. The music, the lyrics, of most of their songs are absolutely breathtaking. I love their old stuff, and really like the new. Also, I love Robb Flynn as a person, love the way he speaks, writes, and interviews people on his podcast No F'n Regrets. My favorite album is Unto The Locusts. What's yours?

[@YacineValfar]

Unto the locust is my favorite too 🤘🏻 it was between it and The Blackening for a long time, but Unto the locust grew on me more through the years.

Rob is a woke ass libtard, actually I take that back, I believe it is more about trying to stay relevant, thinking if he says the key words more people will buy hid shit. I miss the days when most metal heads were libertarians or anarchist. The only I have heard Rob say that agreed with a long time is fuck Jeff sessions, but that is an easy one, and even a lot conservatives hate that fucker.

[@Joe-td7lk]

James Jones while pretty much everyone would agree with you, they would be demonetized for doing that.

I don't think they're censoring it for moral reasons. It's likely to avoid their videos getting demonetized.

[@TrevRman]

Screw the haters. Robb you have my props for sticking up for what's right. Can't wait to see you guys live this October. Keep up the awesome Fact or Fictions, Loudwire!

[@kurzackd]

regarding Flynn's adoption, I think it would have been interesting to hear questions such as: >"Why did your adoptive parents choose that name specifically?" or >"Have you reconnected with your biological parents?" But maybe the author of the vid wanted to keep it STRICTLY in the *Wikipedia* field. Since the Wiki article does not discuss his "family", that's why these questions were left out.

[@douglasransom4138]

I was in the crowd at Bloodstock Festival last summer when Machine Head played their surprise set on the second stage. They played at around 2:45 in the afternoon, and it was probably the first time I'd seen the entire tent (where the second stage was located) completely packed out. They played as a 3-piece, cause Vogg was in Czechia with Decapitated, but they still absolutely brought the place down. The weather was upwards of 30 degrees celsius all weekend, so everyone in the tent was drowning in sweat already. I went down in the pit a few times, to the point where I was practically suffocating. Worth every fucking minute. Machine Head forever 🤘

[@cayde-6969]

now do Tony Iommi or James Hetfield

[@Dreguhl]

I second that! 👍

[@Fidozo15]

Iommi is a busy man idk, but Hetfield is a sellout so no Hetfield for now

To begin with, the price of the metallica merch

[@hinjurock]

I'm 3 years younger than Robb and I was also majorly into the thrash metal scene as a teenager during the 80's, and I heard Deep Purple's Machine Head when I was 10. Robb apparently wasn't very well-versed in hard rock and metal history.

How in the hell could anyone think "Night of Long Knives" is about anything other than the Manson-family murders? The first line of the track is "In summer '69..." and he actually says Manson's name in the pre-chorus.

[@johntyrrell1549]

[@DavidGomez-ph4yn]

Rob is adopted? Wow, interesting

[@TylerQuantrill]

David Gómez yeah he is, he discussed it in 'Left Unfinished' from 'Through The Ashes Of Empires'

[@DavidGomez-ph4yn]

Tyler Quantrill I didn't knew that, I'm not that much into the band story, thanks

[@yvesheinrich5013]

In the Left Unfinished lyrics he mentioned his actual real name.

[@machabeleloka318]

David Gómez: I know a friend of mine from high school who graduated before me (I followed suit the following year), he is an adopted child who was raised and sent to school by the parents that adopted him, and (somehow?) served as an inspiration behind his aspirations as a musician and guitarist to this day. I heard albeit continually that he's busking somewhere in the city I live in now, hopefully. I also hope he's doing/working other odd jobs to keep him afloat. I really wish and hope the best for him 😊👍🏾

[@machabeleloka318]

So, main point: props to Robb Flynn for being an adoptee, not making his family relations an issue (okay, maybe it was or it wasn't, but I won't (and may neither of ANY OF US) bother to have him specify), rising above any and every struggle and obstacle, whether or not his parent were or are still supportive of their son, and in the process still made it to the stratosphere of metal music superstardom ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎸 🥁🤘🏾

[@timothy3660]

mzw meathook said the guy with the Slayer profile image. Tracks like Stain of Mind by Slayer are just as much Nu Metal as songs like Desire to Fire by Machine Head. So... let’s judge by if we like the music or not. All this bullshit that we should all have the same taste is bullshit. My favourite Slayer album is God Hates Us All, not Reign in Blood. I prefer SuperCharger and the Burning Red over the Locust or the Blackening. I prefer Domination over Altars of Madness... just because it’s the opinion of the masses doesn’t make it any more or less true. If there should be a music scene that doesn’t care what the majority thinks it should be Metalheads.

The Blackening is seen as one of the best albums of the millennia by the messes and "don't you dare to disagree!!!" Well, I do :) I would choose The Locust 10/10 times or The more things change album for that matter coz I don't care about what others think. This is was my perception of your comment. Cheers bro :)

ADAM It's some stupid shit, because he doesn't like Trump

[@jimijamesjowitt]

From that one time in band camp where he said he loves jews and muslims but hates Trump. Its one of those could have just left it be but seems to be dealing with the blowback by not dwelling on that feeling and focusing on the positive. Seen them few weeks back and nothing really came up that was awkward. Cant say there was any political slant. Was a good night.

[@rubberritchie]

Hey Stallion Duck were you upset by Robb's nasty comments about your boyfriend Phil? The pussy is you who's upset by somone calling out Phil for being a prick that night. Phil even admitted himself he was dick. Robb Flynn is a beast.

[@ArtHazard]

He jumps on trends like crazy. He made two nu metal albums when the genre was popular, then changed to wearing battle-vests abd playing solos when it became cool again, now he's riding the sjw bandwagon despite being anti-pc earlier. Also, his latest album sucks. That intro with claps and lyrics about putting your middle fingaz in the air is one of the worst things i heard in music lately.
