  • Chris, Logan, Robb, and Jared sit down with Metal Hammer journalist-extraordinaire Dom Lawson and listen to 'Burn My Eyes' for the first time in over 2 decades. This often hilarious conversation sees them trying to remember where they wrote songs, discussing how they got together back in 1992, the mind-bogglingly bad original lyric for "let freedom ring", and the time they set off the smoke alarms in the Fantasy recording studio from smoking so much weed.

Walter Ryan covered for him but apparently, it was shambolic and still one of their worst performances supposedly.

    HERE'S MY MACHINE HEAD STORY FROM 1995: I got a chance to audition for MH around August or Sept of that year. They were set to leave in two weeks to do a US tour with Stuck Mojo. So I flew out to Oakland. Robb picked me up at my hotel (The Pink Flamingo) in his big ass boat of a car, with band logo stickers all over the dashboard. I remember Poison the Well being one of the stickers. We had about a 20-30 min drive to their rehearsal studio in this warehouse that was about 100 degrees (no a/c, no fans) with a broken PA. It wouldn’t get loud enough to hear Robb's vocals while playing the songs. But I went in prepared, knowing these songs as if I wrote them with them. I was a MH fan through and through. All the guys were cool. I knew I had some big shoes to fill, in Kontos! That dude is such a powerhouse and what a creative tasteful player too. His shit was so fun to play. His beats, his fills, everything.
    After the audition, Robb took me back to my hotel and said he'd pick me up in an hour or so to go to a house party at Chuck Billy's. I showered, ordered a pizza, and just as I was finishing up my first piece, a horn honked and Robb was back out there with 1 or 2 other guys, in a different vehicle. We went to the party, James Murphy was there. Not even sure I got to meet Chuck. The party was mostly in the backyard, with a big spread of food and liquor under a tent. After the party, I was returned to my hotel, and told I'd hear from Robb soon.
    I get the call a week later saying that they still have Dave McClain to audition, and he was currently on tour with Sacred Reich, so they would try him out after they return from their US tour. They loved my playing, said they wish they could take me on the upcoming tour, but it would have been costly to fly me and my drums out to CA where the tour started, so they decided to just get a local guy. I was certainly bummed. Would have been cool to at least say I did that tour. But at least I can say I got an audition. I was 22 years old at the time. And obviously, McClain came in and killed it and got the gig. But as I always say, all things happen for a reason. And I guess it just wasn't meant to be. And I wouldn't have the family that I currently have, had I got the gig. Life would be way different.
    Anyway, I got to see MH on that tour in Columbus OH at the Alrosa Villa (RIP DIME) and got to hang backstage. Honestly, the local drummer they took on tour with them was not very good. I have no idea who he was. It's like he really didn't know the material well, and sadly missed all kinds of cool ass Kontos fills. I'm talking the type of fills that set up the next riff so that it hits fucking hard! The kind of fills that are like a riff, not just a throwaway fill. Instead, he was doing all kinds of old school 80s quad fills. UGH! I was worried this was their new drummer. But after they came off stage, Logan told me "no, he is just doing the tour". Whew!
    So needless to say, I'm psyched that Kontos and Mader are back, at least for this BME 25th anniversary tour. I will definitely be in the crowd at one of the shows, even if that means I have to drive a few hours to catch one. Mader is so chill. And Kontos is so full of energy and excitement. LOL Can't wait to hear him crush those drums again!!!

    Like what Chris said about the music being "street" Is nail on head. BME has that dark urban street feel to it, to me it's comparable with the vibe of the early Cypress Hill albums but METAL. That's only 1 of reasons why this album is so special, it's got many flavours.
    When Machine head played 5 songs from BME at Bloodstock 2013 I went crazy, seeing them play it in it's entirety in London and Manchester (yes 2 gigs y0) it'll be like an adrenaline shot to the head and bollocks at the same time.

He made this band from the get go, much respect to Rob cause it's his thing but! Without Chris it just wouldn't have been the impact it was without him. I think people who aren't drummers get it too. He is absolutely the MH sound. It was the biggest shame of my life he was booted from the band, I loved them after however just didn't quite have that sound.

Anyhow, he was in Attitude back then and even then he had all the Metal pins and the jacket I bought had all these holes in it from them. Anyhow after AA toured he came back by my house and bought the Jacket back for more then I paid. I then used that money to buy a new Jacket that I still have 40 years later. I also went to School with Rob for 1 year at American high. I handed him an AA demo and he got back to me in a few days and kinda dissed AA, saying his band Violence was so much better. Robb also gave me a demo from Violence and I didn't care for it. Lol. The parties back then were legendary! That my Plug on Machine head other then they need to stop canceling Detroit shows please.

The bassist from Insolence new my buddy any I were sepultura fans and wanted to meet Max Cavalera and I was a Logan fan cause MH.Two birds one stone deal. Anyway got on the bus and sat down. Max came out of the back room said whut up, and went back in. haha From there, one of the coolest memories of my metalhead childhood.

I had y'all sign one, I remember some nutter slung some tomato soup at a passing bus (lol) as we were queuing up for the signing then dumped his cup which I picked up so I had two! 😅

      Oilid I still don't completely understand what happened with Adam. I don't think we got the full story. Yeah, it is sad not seeing him there. I think his bass tone & playing was one of the crucial elements to "Burn My Eyes". But he really shone on "The More Things Change". Easily MH's best two albums. "The Blackening" comes in at 3rd.

  • @SebastianSkadisson

    With people dissecting Robb's lyrics nowadays hearing this old stuff really brings home that Metal lyrics once were about taking the absurdity of life and cranking up all kinds of ideas and situations all the way up to 11. Metal lyrics weren't some README File for a fulfilled life and absolute self-security like people expect them to be today. Not hating on inspirational lyrics from bands like Skyharbor or Tesseract, but there should also always be a space for making topics of insanity become so grotesque lyrically that you can actually go away from it with more energy, knowing that this is just insanity and not letting it steal the energy from you by bowing down infront of it. Thank you for not giving as much of a fuck as other older bands do about "lyric critiques" in recent years, numbing down everything they do just to not rub some inexperienced people the wrong way.

    I feel like I time travelled to the future. Like I haven’t really kept up with Machine Bead through the years. I LOVED Burn my Eyes and Supercharger. But aside from that I really didn’t follow them. And now, 25 years later I’m looking at these guys and see how they have aged. Then I look at myself and still see myself as a 16 year old little dope smoker back roading drinking beers and listening to Machine Head.

    My first MH album was More Things Change when it came out, which I liked a lot. But when I bought and heard this one I knew it was something very special. Chris' drums were just on this crazy different level of technique and variety, they just fit those huge riffs. I always wondered why the hell did this guy leave band. To see him that stoked about this after all these years, big thumbs up. This really seems like things coming full circle, after all these years. Good move, Robb!
