You have to give it to Rob Flynn though. He was trying to survive and keep his livelihood going…Look where he is now. Kept the MH brand alive and well.

[@MrEvrit]

I can't blame them. Making a decent livelihood with music is incredibly hard, let alone with metal, you would be surprised to see that there are even famous metal musicians that still hold a normal job to pay the bills. At the time Nu-Metal was exploding so they took their chance.

94 Rob Flynn: groove metalhead 99 Rob Flynn: COVID haircut

[@MultiStar84]

Deftones always had their own style, so many bands ripped them off. I wouldn’t say deftones went new metal, their style just progressed.

[@STAUNCHTV]

I agree. I hope i got that across in the video lol. Nu metal "elements" , but still progressed. White Pony is my fave from them

[@JBrooksNYS]

Their record label actually convinced them to rework a song into a numetal song, with rap vocals, for release as a single, which became back to school.

[@MultiStar84]

@@JBrooksNYS chino hated it at first

[@dominicparker3141]

Deftones were definitely a nu metal band it's just they had more left field influences coming from the indie and goth scenes of the 80s. They also sound a bit like 90s post hardcore like helmet and quicksand.

[@OnionSavoya-jf5hz]

Well Deftones are ripping themselves off now. Your just jelly.

[@chelopeppers]

I became a machine head fan with the burning red... so I know older fans became frustrated by it, for me it was THE SHIT back then and became fan ever since, now I enjoy each one of Machine head eras... escept maybe "Catharsis" that album really sucks! Saw thm live in October, they were awesome! they still play The Burning Red hit "From this day" and I realized I still know all the lyric by heart, every word just came to me.

[@burialofficial8913]

they went from blistering fast and crunching heavy riffs and drums n shit, to “yeah yeah yeah hold that head up high” or whatever the fucking lyrics are kesus

[@STAUNCHTV]

hahhahaha

[@figu6ka379]

Rob went from underground legend to a social media warrior

[@siafok6960]

He never were in underground with Machine Head

[@DRUNKENATHEISTSTUDIO]

I was 14 when this came out. The fan outrage was real lol

[@STAUNCHTV]

love youre name! lol gonna sub

[@DRUNKENATHEISTSTUDIO]

@@STAUNCHTV thanks buddy! I gotchu back. Check out my playlists or livestreams. I think my content lives up to the name 😅 and almost at 1000 subs after doing this ish for 8 years haha

[@MrProjectdS13]

It’s 2023 and after their new album, do you still feel the same about machine head?

[@innocentbystander6674]

Phil was right

[@janocronismo]

Very unpopular opinion: this is by far my favorite MH era.

[@STAUNCHTV]

tbh i agree, its better than anything else they did lol

[@ButcherGrindslam]

Well. Slayer also went through Nu Metal in 1998 and 2001 on a lesser scale. My first album was "Through the Ashes of Empires", so I did not even get "Burn my Eyes". Instead, waited for "The Blackening" and got it. "Who the fuck listens to Dope?" - Static-X, obviously. 🤣

[@STAUNCHTV]

i aitn gonna lie i jammed the SHIT out of the burning red and Diabolous in musica

[@MultiStar84]

I came across machine head when they released the more things change, and enjoyed it. I became a bigger fan when they released the burning red, my fav machine head album.

[@STAUNCHTV]

i have to say Burning red is also my favorite, since im not really a fan. albeit, its my fave for the wrog reason probably lol. thanks for the feedback!!!

[@MalcomJuliaMorgan]

they do whatever sepultura does

[@74katong]

i dont think this tool realises you can troll outside a computer

[@tomdrum1394]

when you are talking boot' Korn/J.Davis you put a pic of that goofy bastard from ?the black crows"? 👍🏾 Love this video bro!

[@STAUNCHTV]

Hahaha hell yes

[@jeffnogo]

Back in the 90s, as a fan of Burn My Eyes, I definitely did not like their turn to nu-metal. But the thing that stands out about Machine Head, is that Burn My Eyes is the only album from the mid-90s that I really liked at the time but today I can no longer see what I enjoyed about it anymore. Hell, I can even still see why I loved Korn's debut back then. So, Machine Head were never really any good, they just got worse.

[@jasonhepler9648]

When you mentioned KORN why did you put a picture of the counting crows up?

[@STAUNCHTV]

Hahahah

[@Poser_Metal_Records]

I thought it was funny as hell.

[@MetalRetroReviews]

It's not even that I have a problem with Nu-metal it just felt like such an odd shift from a band I was a pretty big fan of and had seen live in '99, the exact tour you mentioned. I still have the ticket stub I believe I showed off in my review too ha! The More Things Change had such unique riffs I swear, and Burn My Eyes of course was heavy as fuck. The chimes especially, and I can rarely seem to get my guitar perfectly in tune with them! No matter how hard I try I can't get much into The Burning Red. It's not like it's a terrible album, but it's so goddamn different than what I was used to at the time, it never made that impact on me the way the others did. "Sub-par rapping with teenage conflict noise made for America's angry junior high kids." That is literally spot on lmao.

[@STAUNCHTV]

hahahha yes!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration and ill be sure to credit you if i use some of your stuff, thanks!

[@Wiseshredhead]

Tune to 432hz drop C and D standard

[@neilfleck4178]

I've got BMY, my parents didn't take to it,it's funny I deliver to a 'ROBINSON' on my parcel route.

[@na-vn5qy]

i really liked the cover of message in a bottle on the burning red. or i mean i liked all of it because i was like 13 years old, but i still like their cover of messages in a bottle.

[@jackko21]

Really the only thing i like about this album is ross robinsons production style its raw ross robinson has good guitar tones and raw and agrressive performances

[@johntylerbrowning4331]

I actually really liked this album its not as good as some of their other work but I think I defend it because I'm a pretty big nu Metal fan

[@STAUNCHTV]

I think it's perfect for what it is tbh. And o loved it when I was younger. It's almost like a blue print of sorts

[@gamertag7676]

Nu metal wasn't all that bad but GODDAMN the hair these nu metal bands had were ridiculous

[@STAUNCHTV]

hahahha

[@victordeltoro7400]

Almost like BMTH then and now.

[@APrimusHokie]

CHEVELLE 👀

[@STAUNCHTV]

man i remember really diggign them at this show. sounded like TOOL

[@APrimusHokie]

@@STAUNCHTV Point number one they definitely had a big tool influence 😂 after that they got their own signature sound and became like fine wine. Just improved with age🤘

[@NickRHT]

Machine head is prolly top 2 or 3 favorite bands of mine but my introduction to em was the burning red then i heardcall their other stuff but supercharger is still one of my top favorite records of theirs.

[@bloodstainedhero]

100%

[@dakotawinston7677]

I like your style. Got my sub.

[@katshades]

Robb Flynn is stunning and brave

[@27retrodaze]

Has nobody called you out for using a picture of Adam Duritz from Counting Crows as a picture of Jonathan Davis of Korn?

[@ScrewlooseMS]

I love that album

[@8ballbowler]

What about supercharger? I know you listen to that album.

[@nlee4566]

Crazy to see how other genrs like Rock/Alternative deal with the same issues we do in Hip Hop/Rap. People claiming an artist is selling out because they change up or they want to appeal to a wider audience. Don't listen to alot of Nu Metal but the Burning Red album sounds dope to me.

[@STAUNCHTV]

Personally, I think it's their best album.

[@Milesrgomez]

I am late cause I randomly got this video but The Blackening is a classic

[@jackko21]

To me burn my eyes was their only good album

[@dakotawinston7677]

Good video.

[@Wiseshredhead]

burn my eyes is my favorite album

[@Vidicus]

Went to that same show at Centre Theater.

[@STAUNCHTV]

@@Vidicus oh awesome! I just drove by it the other day lol

[@rferguson3]

I never really got into the whole nu metal thing, but Machine Head is one of my all time favorite bands. With that being said, I was kinda bummed when they dropped the burning red. It did however wind up growing on me & is one of my favs. My least favorite of theirs was always Supercharger. Although Catharsis took that spot, once that dropped. I'll always love MH & I actually really dig the new album.

[@beavercleaver5770]

I saw that seven dust tour to. One thing I remember was how machinehead blew seven dust away. I love the burning red. We would have been friends if we went to high school together even though I like primmer 55 lol! Your content is right up my alley even though are opinions differ a little

[@STAUNCHTV]

Hell yeah man! People think i hate nu metal when in fact im totally enticed by it lol So many weird stories and albums. Its the agro macho no talent part of it that i dislike, but it is still fascinating hahah

[@beavercleaver5770]

Yeah there were a ton of good nu metal bands. Alot of them were only half bad to. Like "ill Nino" the heavy parts were good then he starts singing in a whiny fashion and just shits on the track!" Flaw, and Facotory 81 did the same thing.

[@STAUNCHTV]

@@beavercleaver5770 dude yes

[@mesaelmasemagana7184]

Damn ROB FLYN spitting on some metal riff ... what! That' shits sounds kinda hard...🤨🎊🎉

[@johnkeefe9059]

I love the locust and the blackening albums best but i like all Machine Head. There a great band. Thier new metal era wasnt thier best work but some songs are great. I love crashing around you and the lyrics are awesome and nothing left is pretty good to.

[@johng1584]

part of robb flynns hatered for pantera stems from the fact they always overshadowed them

[@hellbach6268]

Not the greatest machine head fan over here either (to tell you the truth "Burn my eyes" is the only LP of theirs I listened from beginning to end). But I must say, that said album is pretty, pretty good. The rest of their shit I don't care for, there is a good song here and there. But as a whole, only "Burn my eyes" made me headbang and stomp! And to tell you the truth, I find Rob a bit annoying, I don't know the guy, he may be the sweetest human being alive, but from all the interviews, podcasts, and social media presence, he gives off that pompous, pretentious, I'm better than you vibe. Just my opinion.

[@STAUNCHTV]

Well said!

[@Milesrgomez]

I mostly stick to the Blackening and The more things change... when the band slaps they slap but sometimes... yikes

[@ChuggShreDiner]

All bands who all of the sudden put NuMetal in it always decrease in popularity.

[@stevenbusch9336]

🤘🏼

It was insincere them doing nu metal but if they stayed them with the grove metal thrash metal with the nu metal like slayer and Metallica did on their nu metal like on god hates us all and st anger machine head nu metal LP's would have been better but that catharsis LP showed they can't do a real good nu metal thrash metal LP

[@patrickreeves4650]

SELL OUT!

[@Melvinshermen]

Can you do Earth crisis and skinlab And slayer too

[@STAUNCHTV]

Iiiiiinteresting!!!!!! SUBSCRIBE!

[@Milesrgomez]

I listened to Burn My Eyes and liked it but man the nu-metal stuff (especially that more recent one) actively put me off the band. Thankfully, I decided to listen to The Blackening which was amazing. Tbh I dont listen to nu-metal stuff anymore so thats a big reason why it put me off. I had a phase of enjoying a few of them but I like my more "raw/pure" kind of metal. If you havent at the very least check out The Blackening because that album was too good to be true

[@Itz-Leo-Dog]

Nu-Metal/RapCore Rulez!!! (In my opinion)

[@Alex-pm6je]

I remembered i bought the burning red album and hated it! I only listen to it once and got rid of the cd.never looked back at that time.🤨?

[@meedily]

That was some embarrassing shit.

[@STAUNCHTV]

Hqhahahh

[@diesinaplanecrash]

The burning red sucked I was so disappointed when I bought it without hearing any songs first.

I hated those nu metal wannabe LP's they haven't made a good nu metal thrash metal fusioned

[@reebonorton4175]

The only time Machine Head were good

[@robwalsh9843]

The only thing I liked about Machine Head was Burn My Eyes when they had Chris Kontos on drums. Even before they went full nu, they did some pretty cringey stuff. "LET FREEDOM RING WITH A SHOTGUN BLAST!" makes me think of Midwestern dudes drinking Monster energy drinks while wearing Tapout clothing.

[@ThierryRocksTV]

I don't get why nu metal is so slandered but I'm also 22 and didn't fully experience the Nu era

[@STAUNCHTV]

I think there were initially some good bands that brought alot to metal in general with the nu metal thing. However, there were soooooooo maaaaaany others that brought absolutely nothing to the table. Nu metal and boy band pop were the same at one point. Was weird.

[@ThierryRocksTV]

@@STAUNCHTV Ironically, I dug down the rabbit hole got more into the lesser known nu metal bands like Unloco, 40 Below Summer and Flaw for example. I just really dig the mix of heavy groove and emotional resonance. And I'm guessing Linkin Park started the 'boy band' image of the era?

[@STAUNCHTV]

@@ThierryRocksTV i can see that, all those bands are definetely groove. I recently made a video about FLAW and i was impressed by the groove. and i guess Linkin Park was like the biggest one, but also Limp Bizkit etc. all of the biggest bands aside from Korn really brought nothing to the game imo. and i dont even like Korn but i can appreciate it ya know. Some bad bands i think are Primer 55, Factory 81, Workhorse Movement...i do a series called worst of nu metal not sure if ya seen

[@ThierryRocksTV]

@@STAUNCHTV Really? I don't mind those ones. The only nu metal bands I can call 'bad' are Crazy Town, Methods of Mayhem Trapt and Reveille. Most of the rapcore ones have cringe lyrics that aged the worst. My personal taste is for the angstier emotional side of nu metal that lacked rapping.

[@STAUNCHTV]

@@ThierryRocksTV i can dig it, methods of mayhem made my list haha so did revielle but i havent made that video yet
