Way back in 1995... I was 14, covered in zits and mostly into the indie, grunge and "alternative" music that was doing the rounds at the time, this album came into my possession, and I was rudely kicked face first by a Robb Flynn riff straight into being a metal fan and I never looked back. Although this song is nearly twenty years old it hasn't aged and still sounds awesome.
Time around 93-94 was just so awesome , with bands like Pantera, Machine Head, Sepultura, Fear Factory etc kicking ass and with Headbanger's Ball to watch every sunday night on MTV where you could catch all of those bands (remember: this was before the internet and UA-cam). Damn those were some good old times, never to return.
I love old Machine Head, and this is obviously the title track. You have to understand it in context of the time in which it was released. Pantera had topped the charts a few months before, and the executives definitely didn't want to release an album aimed at youth entitled 'Old'. So the track that was closest to being a Pantera clone was released as the first track and single. Those industry influences don't make this any less of a classic of metal, or elevate Davidian to that level.
Александър Коларов If it makes you feel better, I'm 28 and believe bands like Machine Head, Fear Factory, In Flames, At the Gates are better than modern bands and metal core bands(which I still love) but nothing beats 90s metal
+Andy He said 1995 on the Dynamo show as well. I don't know if he says the year every time they perform the song, but I think originally it was meant to be 1995.
I got my eyebrow split to this song 2 days ago when they played in Denmark! 5 stitches! Worth it all! I just hate I lost about 30 mins of the concert and didn't get to see Halo, Davidian and so forth :(
Caught these guys with Slayer and Biohazard back in 94 or 95, even tho they opened they blew away both bands, haven't missed a Machine Head tour since!
Fuck yah I'm so happy to see machine head back doing their thing 🤘🤘. And i love see'ing Logan play in once human but when he's playing machine head songs the true beast in him shines.
I saw Machine Head alive, and i don´t like it, but in the same day with Machine Head i saw LAMB OF GOD, SLIPKNOT and M E T A L L I C A... In next week, i heard the last album and fu... i like it, Their guitar sounds are very FU... GOOD...!! Machine Head are one of the best metal Bands.... Like Metallica Lamb of God Iron Maiden

Their original drummer was a BEAST.
+amjan Eh. Dave McClain is better.
+Mike Waldron
kontos was so better. Bless ya.
+amjan McClain. I'm sorry but you can't judge a drummer who performed in one album compared to a drummer who performed in SEVEN albums!
+Yves Heinrich Where did I do that, you idiot?
amjan You didn't, moron. I'm saying in general.
Burn my Eyes, instant Metal classic
THIS ALBUM STILL KICKS ASS 27 YEARS LATER 🤘🤘

Burn My Eyes was their best album ever. Hands down.

หวัดดีเฮียRobb Flynn ในThailand ยังมีวงundergroundเจ๋งๆอีกเพียบ อย่างเช่น Ebola drenched annalynn klauwthai and more ถึงเเม้เเนวทางดนตรีจะเเตกต่างจากวงของเฮียไปบ้าง เเต่วงเหล่านี้เจ๋งจริง ไม่ใช่วงที่เล่นดนตรีฮาร์ดๆทั่วไป เเล้วยกวงตัวเองซะสูงส่งว่าเป็นวง กรู็ฟเมตัล ถ้าไอ้วงเหียกนั่นมันเล่นได้ถึงครึ่งวงอย่างmastodon นั่นเเหละมันถึงสมควรได้รับว่าเป็นวง กรู็ฟ เมตัล ของจริง มีความสุขในการเล่นดนตรีครับเฮียRobb Flynn
i could listen to this song a 100 times in a row and it will never get old :P

Best Machine Head song by far imo.
best description ever:
"(c) 2008 WMG
Old"
like there's nothing else to add to that staple, it's so big, everyone will always know what Old is ;)
Never outdated.

The main riff is Priceless!
you'll never get old if you listen this
Love LOVE that intro riff damn!
Machine Head - Old
Machine Head needs to be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
+Scott, To qualify you have to be a band or solo artist for 25 years from your first release, so MH still have a few years to go.
I really don't have any words! This is perfect metal!!! GOD DAMN!!!!
so great!!!!!!!! 90s groove metal,power metal alltime!!!!!!! and then,80s thrash metal!!!!!
RIFFS. And VOCALS. And GROOVE.

0:10 Robb is "1994" but I swear that says "1995" on the screen.
It even looks like he's mouthing "5"
+Andy lmao

Manuel Core hi
+Andy He said 1995 on the Dynamo show as well. I don't know if he says the year every time they perform the song, but I think originally it was meant to be 1995.
