Chris Kontos and Logan Mader were and are part of the essence of "machine head" for many years. For now they are live musicians, I would not mind going back to the 90's
Unfortunately they aren't to "fond" of Rob, Logan isn't really into touring anymore anyway. Loved seeing this though!!! Oh btw Adam Duece (the bass player) hates Robb. For whatever reason.
I think this is one of the best metal Drum performances ever. Not only the shredding on the bulk, but the importance of the punches and the highlighting of the riffs. Jesus lord.
Chris Kontos is a beast! I like him because he is from the Vinnie Paul school of drumming. No unnecessary crashes or chinas. Just use the ride and hats and bring a killer beat. Also those fills are soo tasty! grats
Imban3z I KNOW!! 1 MILLION %!!! IN MY OPINION "CHRIS KONTOS IS THE BEST DRUMMER TODAYS TIME"!!..WHY??..CAUSE MAN...HIS SOUND AND SKILLS ARE SO AMAZING TECHNICAL!..NO OFFENSE TO THE WHOLE BAND....I ONLY BOUGHT THE RECORD CAUSE OF CHRIS DRUM SOUND!..SO POWERFUL!!.BUT VERY CREATIVE!..M.H..STILL HAS NOT HAVE A DRUM SOUND LIKE CHRIS KONTOS!😈
This is awesome. With 3/4 of the original line-up back together, and with Jared being the usual kickass bassist that he is, one can really feel the original energy of that debut album emerging again. I love it.
Man, this fuckin Robb hatin bandwagon thing is getting really old now. They rerecorded burn my eyes with most of the original line up, is that not good enough for now? Did ya not listen to this? He has not even been 'crying' for a long time now and I'm sure the next album will be a surprise, a TTAOE esque fuck you to all the doubters.
@@takeshikovacz7204 most of the modern metal releases have gone to the electronic / highly post produced / daw midi programmed way, the tracks are literally full of backing tracks, synths, pads, layers. I don't dislike it at all, but I understand what people mean when they say metal is the same no more
In my opinion, that song pioneerd the modern beat down section that many bands use... crushing it all in the end with the groove, relentless. At that time, and I bought their CD in 1993, it was NEW and neckbreaking. It is still the best Metal outro, stepping out of the carnage, unphased by the flames and debris. Long time fan here.
I hope they don't pick up rigjt from where they left, the latest album and Bloodstone and Diamonds were pretty shitty compared to Their other masterpieces!
Titto 530 HES WAY BETTER THAN DAVE!..Chris KONTOS always had a waaayyy better Drum sound than anybody else! Chris KONTOS knows the Studio so well and live...his ear is so good!
You should only forgive Robb if he doesn't do another Catharsis and completely take over the writing process for future albums.......Not saying this isn't awesome, because it is! But that doesn't fix the key issue for Machine Head's future.
Robb, dont forget to give ONE TOUR DATE for BARCELONA,SPAIN....BECAUSE I HAVN`t seen ANY at least on SPAIN.....we also Keep waiting you all guys...reunited again....for BRING THE FUCKING PLACE DOWN ....since the last time you did ON ZELESTE 2...on 1994.!!!!!!!......YOU OWE US THAT....AND WE DESERVE THAT....theres a REAL MH old school fans round there.....WE WANT AND NEED SEE YOU TOGETHER AGAIN....... LONG LIFE MH LOOONG LIFE BURN MY EYES
So good. Burn My Eyes is the absolute best Machine Head album even to this day. The grooves, solos, beats, vocals on that album were practically flawless. Sad they never could capture that sound again.
@@margaridacosta270 The Blackening isn't very good, it's GREAT. But even with that, Burn My Eyes is without a doubt Machine Head's best album, because it had the band's best songwriting overall.
I had some serious apprehensions about this considering the ugly falling out of the last line up. But honestly I have been really impressed with these in Studio live performances so far?!
very likely tHE ENTIRE song is probably maybe one of the best moments of most likely - at the very least - half of all metal songs that are already considered best!!!!!!! I probably love it
Not my favourite band by any stretch of the imagination but DAMN this is a killer song. I've always loved the groove and energy. 25 years on and it still sounds fresh to me.
@@The-Joke-s-on-you It's not one of my absolute top bands overall tbh, but their good tracks are really good. Davidian in particular, the riffs and drums are so clever. Perfect "try not to headbang" challenge song.
@@fredriksvard2603 Completely with you. But The Blackening remains top tier in terms of technique and overall atmosphere imo, their Magnum Opus. The band has great skill when they put their minds to it, but most records only feature some of their best tracks out there. It gets repetitive really quick, especially on the older outputs. Only The Blackening managed to keep me captured from start to finish upon first listening. Especially since I had only recently entered music school to learn e-guitar when they dropped this monster of an album. You get a wholly different level of attachment to a band when you are determined to let them (and others) be your motivation whilst learning an instrument ;)
@@The-Joke-s-on-you I can imagine, that album for me was metallicas black album. But blackening was huge yes, i even have non-metal friends who got into aeshetics of hate. There's a shitty cover of davidian on my channel, had to try it out - i just assumed songs like that were "impossible" to play back then when i was a kid.
Goosebumps all over the place !!! Awesome perfomance ! And I'm extremely happy to see the monster Mr. Kontos and Mr Logan back on to the drums and guitars respectively That's the real intense shit now !!!!! Hope this lineup will stay forever .. Hails #MachineHead for life 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is one of the most powerful songs you guys ever did. The energy in this is absolutely amazing and it scared the living shit out of my friends back then when the album came out and I kept listening to it nonstop :D Of course, they all turned out to be fans later on. Keep on rocking guys!
I was stationed In Alameda (Navy) One night me and a friend scored some Chronic got high, went driving fast, and he puts this on...while passing the Oakland Coliseum, and says “This is Oakland Metal” Horns up!
After I saw this and they announced the 25th Anniversary tour, I grabbed a ticket. Saw them in Manchester and met Chris Kontos after. A show I'll never forget!
Bro...... I literally get tears of joy every time I watch this. Major....MAJOR album in my life. I wore out two cassettes playing this record over and over and never tired of it. Im still not tired of it. Not at all. Great shit will always stand the test of time. Thats how you become immortal. Chris I fucking love you for teaching me so much. I look forward to seeing you guys tear shit up.
Man!, to have been alive while Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Machine Head, Pantera, Sepultura, Judas Priest and even more of these bands ruled the world!. Sometimes you realize just how kick ass your time on this planet is!
Yea...grateful i've got the chance to watch Machine Head concert in Manchester UK in 1997...still have the ticket&t'hirt mechandise...what an explosive debut album...
Machine Head with that precision Kontos groove, pure metal jam at its finest, sounds like a different band!! But it also sounds like he never left! High hopes for this lineup, I guess we'll get B.M.E II after all!
Great song, heavy sound, awesome vibe and fun...the very essence of metal. This song and the entire album truly deserve the celebration and re-recording, Machine Head at its very best.
Brilliant even after all these years! Fantastic. The outro is unbeatable. EDIT: Never truly appreciated how terrific the drumming is on this track. But hearing AND watching them has given me a new level of appreciation. Awesome!
I have to say how great it feels to see this lineup playing what I think of as their "signature" song...having Mader there and Kontos who turned the sticks over to Dave McClain to start playing on The More Things Change (McClain is undeniably great, but the percussion on Burn My Eyes done by Kontos is the backbone supporting that albums standing as legendary). Burn My Eyes was a defining watermark in heavy music during the 90's, I wore grooves into that album, I played in bands where we covered Davidian and Blood for Blood during our shows. SO. MUCH. INSPIRATION. Yeah I can't express how pivotal it is.

Kontos's drumming is what made 'Burn my eyes' a classic in my opinion.
The drumming is truly awesome
Thats right!!!!!!
Hell yes 👊👊
Yeah i love the drumming
Absolutely man.. 100 percent..
Please, keep Chris and Logan in the band !!!
I agree!
i'm so excited if MH do so, but they'r not gonna stay in the band for the nu album
Chris Kontos and Logan Mader were and are part of the essence of "machine head" for many years. For now they are live musicians, I would not mind going back to the 90's
FUCK YEAHSSSSSS!!!
Unfortunately they aren't to "fond" of Rob, Logan isn't really into touring anymore anyway. Loved seeing this though!!! Oh btw Adam Duece (the bass player) hates Robb. For whatever reason.
One of the best metal outros ever
intro is one of best too
i have always imagined those ATF troops with rolling bulldozers approaching Davidian's farm when hearing the outro... chilling
It's one of the best metal songs in my opinion.
Fuckin' A
Deffo!
I think this is one of the best metal Drum performances ever. Not only the shredding on the bulk, but the importance of the punches and the highlighting of the riffs. Jesus lord.
That outro is one of the finest moments in metal. Still kicks maximum ass 👍👍👍
Brutal 😊🤜
I prefer the outro from domination from Pantera just crazy.
Hell yeah it does 🤘🏼
Oh My fuckin, badass Bass & drums You Know that Brother!!!☠️
Fact.
Feel like I’m 19 again. As I was when this came out. So fukn good.
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
@@ToddRanney lol
Grow up
I'm just kidding I wasn't 19 but I ain't far behind you and I I know exactly what you meant by that statement I feel exactly the same way
I was 11 back then, got the same feeling
This 25 year-old pounder is fresh as ever, and is still heavier and groovier than so many recent 'heavy' tunes!
Epic album. This performance is crushing. Great production and captures the energy sooo well.

@@unleash-hell6666 So KONTOS played on KONKHRA album WEED OUT THE WEAK, perfect drums too!!!
It’s like Mader & Kontos never left. 25 years later and still as brutal as ever.
Best lineup from MH.
Guys, this is the line-up and the sound that people want. Please make it happen.
This is awesome. With 3/4 of the original line-up back together, and with Jared being the usual kickass bassist that he is, one can really feel the original energy of that debut album emerging again. I love it.
fun fact: Jared's bass somehow reminds of Jason Newsted's olt alembic basses with a diff headstock :|
As a bass player myself, I love this guys playing, he’s just a monster bassist. And no none can play Davidian like Contos.
After being out of the metal scene for years, it's good to see nearly the 1st band I ever saw live, all back together again.
I totally agree OJ. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album \m/
Man, this fuckin Robb hatin bandwagon thing is getting really old now. They rerecorded burn my eyes with most of the original line up, is that not good enough for now? Did ya not listen to this? He has not even been 'crying' for a long time now and I'm sure the next album will be a surprise, a TTAOE esque fuck you to all the doubters.
This song still smokes 90% of metal songs released today.
You mean, if there would be any (metal songs)
@@takeshikovacz7204 you living under a rock?
@@farmageddonfuul4789 He's right, because nowadays metal sucks.

Chris Kontos is a freaking beast!
No one can hit the drums like Kontos!!!
Rob’s vocal is mental and Logan is damn good!!
This is Machine Head!!
Best ever metal song !!!!
McClain is a million times better than Kontos

Check out Sepultura- Attitude I'd say these guys were possibly inspired by that or Sepultura in general 🤷♂️ anyway point is that predates this song
As all the dickhead kids say these days...
Domination has entered the chat
@@xymoriintusattitude came out in 96, davidian came out in 94
Absolutely incredible make Chris and Logan permanent members 🤘🤘🤘🤘
🤘🤘🤘🤘
4:05 The moment the entire planet shook. Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcano eruptions...not mother nature...MaMachine Head!
Machine great
Fuck yeahh!!!!
AMEN TO THAT
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
It's the kind of breakdown that gets people hurt.
Absolutely disgusting breakdown!!!
I really hope Chris Kontos and Logan Mader make it back to MH lineup and pick it up right from when they left
Amen to that. Fingers crossed
I don't know if Chris is currently in a band or not, so I don't know if he will rejoin MH, but Logan won't stay, because he currently has a band
@@andreimatusescu3953 a fucking amazing band at that!
I hope they don't pick up rigjt from where they left, the latest album and Bloodstone and Diamonds were pretty shitty compared to Their other masterpieces!
That breakdown and this song never gets old!
No one play this song as Chris !!! Amazing !!!!
Those drums though!
That Mercyful Fate shirt he's wearing, too 👌
One of my all time favorite intros.
Check out his drumming for the band Attitude Adjustment (Album:No way back) Dude really brought a lot of groove into Machinehead.
@@agooodolecoder I shall
I’m honestly not a fan of those China’s though, the orientals sound so much better
Holy shit I never thought such new life could be injected into an already amazing song! Excellent performance.
Thats what good production brings to the table... But people underestimate its value, especially it metal
So glad to see Chris Knotos behind a drum kit. Such a MASSIVELY underrated drummer! 🔥
Titto 530 that’s a fact
Titto 530 HES WAY BETTER THAN DAVE!..Chris KONTOS always had a waaayyy better Drum sound than anybody else! Chris KONTOS knows the Studio so well and live...his ear is so good!
@@unleash-hell6666 Mcclane is a damn good drummer too but Kontos shoes are impossible to fill.
@@unleash-hell6666
I wouldn't say "way" better. Ever-so-slightly better.
Totally agree with you man
Chris Kontos drumming style is very nice
I saw them live during this tour and I thought the drum set was gonna explode. Dude beat the drums like it slapped his momma. 😂
25 years later this still slaps. saw them with the original lineup and they slayed
That breakdown is still top 5 heaviest breakdowns ever. Regardless of genre
Funny, I found it weak lol
Beneath the massacre.. enough said
Absolutely.
Agreed. The entire song is just a blast and Kontos is killing it big time. I love how he shows his front teeth while doing the breakdown...
I can't wait to see them live here in Belgium on the 31 of October!! So looking forward to this!!
The Machine Head we've all been waiting for. I'll forgive Robb for all of his past transgressions now. 😉
You should only forgive Robb if he doesn't do another Catharsis and completely take over the writing process for future albums.......Not saying this isn't awesome, because it is! But that doesn't fix the key issue for Machine Head's future.
All been waiting for? This band never writes the blackening.
@@Danbalz That's because that's a piss poor Metallica ripoff and Burn My Eyes was somewhat original.
You guys know this songs old af right?
@@killercour Having bought Burn My Eyes on the day it was released in 1994, yes, yes I do.
Robb, dont forget to give ONE TOUR DATE for BARCELONA,SPAIN....BECAUSE I HAVN`t seen ANY at least on SPAIN.....we also Keep waiting you all guys...reunited again....for BRING THE FUCKING PLACE DOWN ....since the last time you did ON ZELESTE 2...on 1994.!!!!!!!......YOU OWE US THAT....AND WE DESERVE THAT....theres a REAL MH old school fans round there.....WE WANT AND NEED SEE YOU TOGETHER AGAIN.......
LONG LIFE MH
LOOONG LIFE BURN MY EYES
MAKE MACHINE HEAD GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Chris Kontos is amazing.
Hell yeah, and he still sounds fresh here
Also, didn’t expect to see you in a machine head comment section
Watching Chris on drums is just a pleasure. I've watched this video at least 50 times just to enjoy his playing.
Chris Kontos sounds like he never stopped playing this song for the past 25 years
One of the most underrated break downs of all-time...
For me it's the best breakdown of all times
One of the best. Underrated not though, everyone has a huge love for this break down
So good. Burn My Eyes is the absolute best Machine Head album even to this day. The grooves, solos, beats, vocals on that album were practically flawless. Sad they never could capture that sound again.
The blackening is very good.
@@margaridacosta270 The Blackening isn't very good, it's GREAT. But even with that, Burn My Eyes is without a doubt Machine Head's best album, because it had the band's best songwriting overall.
Chris kontos wearing a " Don`t Break The oath " Shirt…………….Couldn`t be any cooler !!!!!!!!!!!!
I WANT that shirt!!!
Jaguar God why you gotta be such a dick? The dudes just happy that Kontos is wearing a shirt that he likes and thinks is cool
This song blew me away back in 94 and still does today. I missed Kontos!!!
Bazzyg BAD ASS DRUMMER!!!..NO DOUBT!! STILL WHOOPS ANYONES ASS TODAY!!😈😈
Rob do the right thing and keep Chris and Logan as permanent. This was incredible
Chris Kontos FOREVER !!!!!
best song ever
This is the real Machine Head,when i first heard it at about 1996 ,i was running to a Metal Shop to buy it. The best album from MH is the first.
Guns and roses
I had some serious apprehensions about this considering the ugly falling out of the last line up.
But honestly I have been really impressed with these in Studio live performances so far?!
Thomas J. Vacchino That’s a silly apprehension, my only apprehension was that it would never happen again in my lifetime. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hell yeah, this is amazing to see and hear :D
I swear, you're everywhere I go
I and my band used playing this song in 90's !!!! Now I'm 47 and still love it😂
wow, Chris has aged well and he's still got it🤘😎
Chris and Logan are playing that shit like they never left the band!! I can't wait for this to get out for sale!
What to come out for sale? New album??? NOOOO there's not gonna be a new album what's who ever
They've disbanded haven't they yeeesssssss, thank fuck, totally crap band
"Chris only" cam record would be great
Kontos sharp as ever. Such underrated talent.
Unquestionably one of the best metal songs of all time
massive tune..still one of the best !!!
Hope you do a live version of "Old" next. This was strait up killer
One of the best performances of Davidian
Keep Logan and Chris and also do the more things change but thank God Logan's back
Logan and Chris have to be in this band. Please!!!!!!!!!!!
very likely tHE ENTIRE song is probably maybe one of the best moments of most likely - at the very least - half of all metal songs that are already considered best!!!!!!! I probably love it
That "band together again" vibe through out the whole song!!!
3:41 - 4:04 27 years on and still in awe with that riff
DAAAAMN, after all these years the breakdown is still heavier than most stuff of typicall Deathcore bands ^^
All solid riffs and no regurgitate sounding vocals
Takes me back to the old days fuckin bad ass!
i was like oh when he did that drum roll
Not my favourite band by any stretch of the imagination but DAMN this is a killer song. I've always loved the groove and energy. 25 years on and it still sounds fresh to me.

No morning coffee required. This should be our national anthem.
A quarter century later and Robb sounds better somehow! The fact that this holds its own 25 years later is a true testament to its heaviness!
