Blabbermouth exclusive: Machine Head /Metallica!

Blabbermouth exclusive: Machine Head /Metallica!

Blabbermouth.net posted an exclusive interview with Machine Head's Robb Flynn on performing the band's songs with Metallica's James Hetfield. The question-and-answer session with Flynn was conducted via e-mail. The article is accompanied by numerous photos and live videos.

Here’s a little taste of the interview:

Blabbermouth: You have spoken a number of times about how much of an influence and inspiration Metallica has been for you personally and as a band over the years. How did it feel having one of your musical idols performing one of your songs with you?

Flynn: It was amazing! I mean, seriously amazing! There was actually a point during the second show when we were rocking out together, and I just reached over and grabbed him by the shoulders and yelled, "This is amazing!!!!" He cracked up!! It was one of the highlights of my/our musical lives. Is there a higher compliment? A friend of mine e-mailed me the next day after watching the clip on Blabbermouth, and was like, "DUDE, training is over, you are now a full-blown JEDI KNIGHT OF METAL!!!" I laughed my ass off!

And now the interview with Robb Flynn done by Faceculture:

There’s also a tone of video footages:

How Machine Head nearly fell apart and Altitude interview at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards!

How Machine Head nearly fell apart and Altitude interview at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards!

U.K.'s Kerrang! magazine published a five-page cover story on Machine Head in the April 4, 2009 issue, exploring the conflict between the band's vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Adam Duce that was revealed in Robb's recent online posting on the group's official web site. Read the text of Ian Winwood's excellent feature in its entirety below, and go to MachineHead1.com to check out the spread, including Paul Harries' great photos.

In December 2008, Machine Head were coming apart at the seams. Then they signed up for regular therapy sessions. Here's what happened...

The tour in support of Machine Head's sixth album, "The Blackening", began in North America more than two years ago. Since that time the band — frontman Robb Flynn, bassist Adam Duce, guitarist Phil Demmel and drummer Dave McClain — have racked up more road and air miles than any band since Metallica toured in support of their own "black" album at the start of the '90s.

In that time, Machine Head have rounded the world many times over. In the United Kingdom alone they have shared stages with, amongst others, Metallica, Slipknot, Trivium, Mastodon, HIM, Arch Enemy and Dragonforce. By the time the Bay Area thrashers return home from the road at the end of this coming summer, they will have been on tour for more than two and a half years.

Is it any wonder, then, that life has become a bit fractious?

It was on November 20 last year that things came to a head. The details of the conflagration need not detain us here — indeed Flynn and Duce, the two combatants, offer slightly differing accounts of what happened that night — but the essence of the story is as follows…on Roadrunner Records Canada at:

Also, San Francisco Bay Area metallers Machine Haed were interviewed by Altitude on the "black carpet" of last week's (April 7) Epiphone Revolver Golden Gods Awards at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles.
