Machine Head - Davidian, Live at Dynamo Open Air (1995) Best Quality

Pure aggression at its finest.

[@crushingbelial]

That riff and fill after "let freedom ring..." is still so mega after 20+ years

[@calleonardo31]

Adam Harvey. Yo harvey that riff was written by tattooist mark strasberg who also was the og.guitar player for possessed. A little trivia for ya.

[@siberianTiger639]

Maybe my favourite riff of all time. Fucking slices the song (and you) in half.

[@lilj705]

so mega loll

[@Bonded_By_Blood]

and that "let freedom ring" line is my best metal vocal part

[@crushingbelial]

@@lilj705 got a preferred hyperbole for it?

[@steverattle3027]

one of the greatest kickass metal song of all time

[@nugsovile4333]

I loves this 90s metal guitar tone. It's crunchy and is just a punch in the face, bands now the guitar tone is too clean in my opinion.

[@nugsovile4333]

@Glaydson Barros 🇷🇺 I wouldn't say dead, more like slowly dying. I mean there is some bands that are kind of keeping it alive and they are all in the underground scene. Like we need another Pantera band, something that will give metal a jumpstart again. But that won't happen because record company's don't look for anything unique anymore, instead they keep signing bands that sound the same.

[@BigBoss1982]

And they were heavy droped down. Today ppl play technical riffs in standard E 😂

[@mainardofarias9135]

Agreed!

[@evzenvarga9707]

I agree, the reason I listen to their first 2 albums 90% of the time is because of the guitar tone alone.

[@gurnblanston5000]

Perfect description!!!

[@digitalbath.]

by far one of the hardest metal songs i’ve heard. this is magical.

[@Windbeutel1337]

Promises best quality in the title, delivers best quality in the video. This is fucking ace.

[@fryzee9789]

Hard out. Remember getting the cd in high school, and then I was like it’s time to buy some army pants, grow my hair long and get into metal

[@jasperdewilde5396]

Still one of the best metal performances yet!

[@coldwar1977]

Nothing else sounded like this at the time. What a guitar tone.

[@arthurasimpson]

Not now either.

[@martymartz3254]

One of the best.. still blast this album.. 10/10

[@thewatcher2145]

I was born and 95 and live for this kinda music. Though a lot of the bands are still around, I kinda wish I could’ve been a little older to be able to witness this in person

[@HonkeyKongLive]

What's awesome is you're able to enjoy videos from the older era but also able to see the younger bands out there that are carrying the torch.

[@thewatcher2145]

@@HonkeyKongLive I haven’t been able to find many new bands that carry the same vibe/quality, not the best era for rock/metal (at least it’s not as mainstream and harder to find). Any suggestions from anyone though and I’ll gladly have a listen

[@steverambo4692]

@@thewatcher2145bandcamp (whatever genre) search your city and go to shows

[@hazardeur]

too young to really know how it was. 80-85 as a birth year is pretty much the sweet spot to really understand and be with the 90s crowd. you need to live through it as a teenager or early twenties to really understand it.

[@thefub101]

One of the best debut albums ever!

[@5fiftyfive]

CRUSH! then that breakdown. I still feel that deep in my plums today

[@mikevogler5455]

Man, I wish I could go back to 1994, be 15 years old again, and discover this band all over again, too. Burn My Eyes and The More Things Change... are still 2 of my favorite albums/CD's that I still listen to frequently, even now, in 2025. This brings back a lot of great memories.

[@TERGENIS]

Aah yes, still have this on old VHS tape. NOSTALGIA! Machine Head in their best time! and the album ''Burn My Eyes'' as highlight of their career! Great times! I also have Type O'Negative', Biohazard etc. from that festival on VHS.

[@freakbot26]

This track still rocks 30 fucking years later!

[@rlg222]

The best Machine Head live I've seen to date....1995 Dynamo Open Air! Bad to the bone...I wish I could find this in remastered HD1080P

[@shiro2526]

i love this band energy. headbanging while playing a guitar makes me hype and want 1v1 the sun

[@morbidbird8085]

long time I didn't like groove metal,and Machine head too, but now i really like first album, and davidian, i think, best song from it! and live performance is amazing

[@sandeepchakraborthy2786]

Most underrated rock band.

[@yoe91]

lol

[@m00rtin4]

the intro for this song is fucking killer

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

Yes. But not as killer as the outro.

[@davidaldave3860]

I saw Machine Head Live at Graspop and it was one of the best shows of my entire life! They played this song at the end of the concert and they really killed it! Brilliant and heavy! 🤘🔥 Hope they come to Germany anytime soon!

[@dankk2754]

Saw them live at Graspop this year as well. They sounded very good

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

They're headlining Wacken next year with Gojira and are definitely bound to do a European tour soon

[@gebby8991]

My Youth! 30 Years old and still a Banger!

[@igorguitrod3706]

For me, nothing in this kind of Music comes close to this outro. No words... 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@nenadcrnac3472]

Absolutely agreed.

[@redemption7704]

The opening is better

[@igorguitrod3706]

Kami LOL, I think opening and outro are both epic!! I agree 🤘🏻

[@boontfro5841]

Fark!I remember being 12 and hearing that intro,my brain said holy fcuk!!! Then the ending 🤯 definitely a big influence on my music taste from then on out 🤘🏽

[@Jay-px1ch]

Back when logan was ripped and look like dimebag darrell

[@ilikepotatoes1345]

to my knowledge Logan is actualy in better shape now than he used to be back then, though now he has those shitty ass dreadlocks

As Dimbag on steroids

This is the best live version of Davidian! The fucking killed it here!!!!

[@samjil6623]

So lucky got the chance to watch their UK tour in 97...still have the ticket&t'shirt merchandise...👍

[@9MilNorm]

Man oh man! The good old days of hopping guitarist just chugging to a groovy song!

[@davidhib07]

Corn rows and Cro Mags windbreaker 😎. That's 90s, baby

[@DustinHallXVX]

Breakdown hit at 3:30 and I kept waiting for the cameraman to get a shot of the pit. smdh

[@boozelala]

That year Dynamo had an insane line up. I was only 13 years at the time, 41 now. Was, is and always be the best festival EVER.

[@Nostrum84]

Honestly I prefer this hard cut ending with the palm mutes much, *_M U C H_* more over what they've been playing for the past 10-15 years with the super stretched long chords also the dude in the back at 4:06 is absolutely into it

[@officialrooster]

That "CRUSH!!!!" he put at the start of the breakdown is fucking exciting. Makes me want to punch jaws out of place!!!!!!!

[@lossolidarios-paok2536]

Fucking Awesome! Chris Kontos killin it! especially the moment with the breakdown.

[@dazlilley2556]

agreed x

[@harrigkiouliver1223]

τους κρεμασε ομως απο νωρις και αρνηθηκε μια καριερα γεματη δοξα και μουσικη για το τίποτα! ;)

[@calleonardo31]

LOS SOLIDARIOS- PAOK yo los hell ya kontos is the shit n coolest mf'r n so down to earth n nice guy, its sad the band kicked him out because he didnt have the right rockstar attitude so rob n logan said. In a nutshell he wasnt a stuck up dick, or n asshole to everyone. Last time i saw was in 2002, went w/my friend mark strassberg to the bay area so he could finish a tattoo n it was the night before the raider won the championship game n kontos told us to go to the colosseum for the tail gate party in oakland n hed meet us there cuz j.hetfeid called him up n metallica was playing b4 the raiders game. We roLdup n they did. Bad ass n the raiders won n went to superBowl but lost to tampa.

[@calleonardo31]

By the way kontos plays for a zeppelin tribute band every sunday @the Alameda colosseum in oakland after footballseason is over. They kill it, saw it back n 2002 like 10,000 zepp fans show up to rock out.

[@villejussila797]

I saw them in little club 1997 first time. "The roof blasted off" was one of best gigs ive een ❤️

They used wireless while other bands still plugged in to their cabinets.

[@SamGrantOfficial]

this might actually be THE most under rated metal song of all time... the fact that i've been a metal fan for 20+ years and just found out about this last year is absolutely criminal
