I'm not even a drummer, but these drumming part has been stuck in my head since 1994
THIS IS THE MACHINE HEAD THAT NEEDS TO CONTINUE ON. No disrespect to the other guys but this is MACHINE HEAD!!!
Legit man, how can he let those other 3 back in after this! Insanity.
You’re insane
Great musicians all of them. But Burn my Eyes is the best album
3 Dee not better than the blackening.
Amen, brother. I've waited 20 years to see Kontos back on the throne.
Living legend. Some of the tastiest, grooviest chops in metal music ever.
indeed
Chris should do time for raping that drum kit. He hits harder than a freight train and is an absolute demon on the kit. What an album, and what a drummer. That album is a masterpiece . 🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘
So underrated
It just hits different with Kontos on drums 😦 🔥🤘🏼
Letting the audience sing… that was special to hear!
The ultimate rush, as a band, to hear an audience over your equipment!!!
this is how a drums should play !!! with power, soul and groove !!!!
AMEN BROTHER
Con pasión,si alguien pierde eso o toca por tocar,mejor que no toque,Krist Kontos es un batería con pasión,super profesional,lo vive,vive cada canción ,así debe tocar👏👏👍
Then Phil was drummer and he and other original members left now they got another drummer now another guitar 🎸 player at least Jared stayed with stayed with Robb
@@Greg-pz9nt Phil era guitarrista y Mc Clain era el bateria,y Adan el bajo,Rob se quedó sólo con Jared🤦🏽,no te enteras,y luego Rob,Kontos,Logan se reunieron junto a Jared ;por que Adan para tocar el primer disco de Machine Head;Burn My Eyes,¿Te has enterado ya?🤦🏽
I had no idea the main verse was doing a disco beat on the hat. That's so fucking cool. This is, no joke, my absolute favorite drum performance on any metal song. It's what made me fall in love with the drums as an instrument back in 94. And this is the fucking DEFINITIVE performance.
Got goosebumps watching this. He still got balls
I will never take away from Dave McClain cause he himself is a phenomenal drummer but MH never hit quite as hard as they did with Kontos' drumming on this album. Just an absolute masterclass
Burn my eyes was the album with THE BEST metal drumming of all the 90's....
Without a doubt , no second thought.
A lot of people used to speak about the drumming of other bands like Death or Slayer but none of this had the SPEED, CREATIVITY and TECHNICAL SUPERIORITY of Konto's playing.
Some were technical but without nerve, some were fast but without creativity...but Chris drumming had everything.....
That intro fill... holy crap, Chris! You hit those drums HARD!!!!!!!! \m/
SO BAD ASS LIVE!!!!😈😈😈🔥🔥🔥
as a drummer and Machine Head lifelong fan: amen
This Guy must have to sleep well at night... What power!
Chris Kontos got countless fantastic peaces delivered,or should i say this guy is a livin legend.
Chris Kontos = Machine Head
Chris I will say this with 100% truth from the heart. I'm 42. Born in 1981. I discovered Machine Head in 97 with The More Things Change. Which you weren't on unfortunately. Then I listened to the debut, Burn My Eyes. It's an all time favorite album of mine. And still to this day, in my opinion, is the best Machine Head album ever written. How many albums and line-up changes have happened since?! The first album is still the best. What you guys did on that record is awesome! Its originality and roughness, and perfect execution is flawless. You're a legend in my eyes always, the best drummer Machine Head had. Much love Chris!
May be one of the most underrated drummers of all time. Chris you have the skills to pay the bills🤘
Pues sí,creo que no se le valoró lo suficiente,y ha demostrado que es un batería de los de antes,de los de verdad,de Thrash Metal🙌🙌👏👏
Back then ... Them and psntera revived metal.
Kontos is a beast on groove
Kontos you are AWESOME!!!! Love Machine Head.. Cheers from Sweden! 🤘🤘🤘
Burn my eyes album is the Everest of Heavy Metal drumming
That little inverted bell splash cymbal in the outro though 😍 👌🏻
Boys are playing so good Vinnie and Dime gotta be smiling down ... way to keep groove metal alive
Chris is the man! The heart of Machine Head.
You know the drummer is good when you can hear the godamn kit from the cam mic above the concert level PA
That's because they all use in ears so don't have many working cabs on stage.
Fk yeah... chris is a beast!
The PA is facing the crowd so you won't hear that much all the way back there on a stage of that size!
@@ffromtheskythis guy knows whats up
Dave and Chris are my favorite drummers in Metal. Kontos is top class and underrated as fuck.
So happy for Chris. Crushes it!! At the time this album came out, Chris brought power and groove to this style of music. His powerhouse playing is all over this album. Glad he is getting the opportunity to play these songs live again.
Uno de los mejores baterías,imprime ritmos originales,con fuerza y pasión ,Christ Kontos es una Machine Head,para mí el mejor batería de Machine Head y uno de los mejores baterías del mundo👏👏🙌🙌,toca que es un deleite para el alma verle tocar🍀🍀🍀🍀👏👏🙌🙌
This guy is an superb drummer. He really knows how to spankbang those drums! 🤘🏻🔥
The best machine head drummer. This guy is very massive...
F**king beast! One of the best drummers of all time. Play them like you wanna break them 💪🏻
Schön, dass das Gründungsmember und bester Machine Head Drummer wieder zurück ist 🥰
Chris is powerfull drummer ,Respect !
Chris, seeing you behind the drums and playing the intro of Davidian during the 25th anniversary has been one of the best moment in a concert. Such a blast !
Chris Kontos is a Legend. No doubts. One of the best metal crossover drummers.
You remember we used to call it "Crossover"! Who else remembers? The term got lost 100%
He made Burn My Eyes what it was. Best thrash drummer of the 90's.
@@davidnissim589 Con permiso de Igor Cavalera y Dave Lombardo😉,creo que baterías así no volveran a surgir,Krist está en ese grupo👏👏
@@marijandesin8226 Chris was in a handful of hardcore punk bands before Machine Head, so he may have helped pioneer crossover thrash
@@amadorsanchezalonso1048 Don't forget Danny Schuler of Biohazard
A huge influence on Machinehead
Almost a blatant copy
This is the most insane video I've ever seen
congratulations chris its just so awesome to see you backj in that seat playing those songs! your drumming is verty inspiring, you inspired me huge when i was like 13 14, i am 38 almost 39, and its still the same, your a damn legend man!!!!!! i hope you enjoy every second of that tour! fucking killer!!!
I was happy when I saw them with Chris in the nineties, now decades later there is a reason to watch Machine Head live again
Ahhh the 90s I was there too...
Phenomenal. It's a random comparison, but he's always a fraction behind the beat, like Charlie Watts. You only realise when you watch a vid like this - it makes the sound. Genius.
This guy sure greatly help propel "Burn My Eyes" in the pantheon of metal albums. Hail Chris Kontos !
My number one bay area drum hero. Ive learned so much from you Chris. Thank you so much.
Awesome!
For all it represented to me growing up, and having you as my biggest idol when there wasn't easy access to internet and such videos, I just watched this 3 times with goosebumps throughout the whole thing...
When i first listen to Davidian first i thought what a song and then what a drumming....made me even more happy that Chris is of Greek descent..
.. What have those skins ever done to you, Chris! This takes me right back to 1994, angry neighbours, and blown-up speakers.
Calcado al disco,incluso le mete más potencia y rapidez además de más ritmos,bestial este hombre,una Jodida Máquina ,en directo tocando estos temas debieron ser impresionantes👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌
Lost a lot of interest in Machine Head when you left. Great to see you back.
They still are amazing with their new drummer matt
This is how it’s done, living the dream of a rockstar...god bless you man !!!
Holy Chris Kontos ! they blew that one through the roof .
There can only be one Chris for this song🤩
Bad ass drummer right on time
GREAT PLAYING AS ALWAYS!!!!
My God that ride bell sounds god-like!
I swear it's the loudest one I've ever heard.
I will always remember you dude... I was in a band as a drummer when this album dropped. We we’re doing AIC sounding stuff. The band wanted me to buy a double bass pedal so we could change direction and sound like MH. I said no. We had differences and I left. But this song. This song, made me take up guitar... ha!
Fantastic,at drunmer adwesone,very good of best of Machine Head
Thanks you Chris kontos
Freaking awesome!!! One of the best metal albums of all time and Chris provides some of the most iconic double bass and grooves.
Favorite drummer.
Saw this show last night here in Denver and why can I say other than it was fantastic. Seen MH 3x and this last on was the best by far. No opening acts and no lead ins. Just pure Machine Head for three hours of blinding awesome metal.
Was there. Was epic.
machine head are machine head only with kontos... top!!!!😎😎
I was there baby, yeah. Brixton london.
the most epic outro in the Universe! can't stop listening this song))
Never sounds this good with a different drummer, he has the power and groove, other just play it like it's a job no soul.
I caught one of your Tom Skins the other night in Anaheim!
Wnt home smiling.
Thank you brother.
You were sorely missed.
God I love this song! Chris is a beast on drums!!
holy shit,,,,a beast behind the kit and always will be. \m/
For to be honest - I love them both, and each of them have their own styl. It is Chris that made Machine Head Machine Head with His drumming on Burn. But Dave continued this heavy journey on The More Things - I remember like it was yesterday, when the record came on - I was that day in the store to buy, I was so amazed how heavy the drums were - songs like Ten Ton Hammer or Take My Scars .
Los 2son baterías muy buenos,de los mejores,los habrà más rápidos etc...pero creo que los baterias y bandas de los 90 son las mejores:Sepultura de Max,Slayer,Machine Head,Metallica,Megadeth,Pantera,Fear Factory,creo que como esos grupos no volverá a ver y Krist es un fantástico batería,debería ver seguido en Machine Head,ese hombre toca con pasión,ama Machine Head,forma parte de èl
Its so cool to see him playing, allways.
Well, that was pretty awesome.
Mr Kontos for President ✨👌💯🤟
Killing it ! Best drummer around, up w lombardo, vinnie and hoglan on reinventing heavy drums
great drummers make great bands. here you go.
Chris!!! So glad to see you back!! Got to see you guys in Phoenix for the 25th BME anniversary. There are no words to describe what this album meant to me in '95, and what it remains to be today....amazing. I wish you all the success, and happiness that life can possibly bring you, man. Thank you!!!!
Kontos is a beast!! All they needed is Duce on bass!! \m/
One of my favourite drummer of all time he's a beast on those drums should be a multi millionaire by now I get a feeling to be a drummer watching him I play bass lol
No sè como será Kontos como persona,en la convivencia y tal,pero en la batería sigue siendo una máquina,disfruta tocando estos temas,lo vive👏👏👏🙌🙌
Simply uau One of the best
Nadie mejor sabrá interpretar este tema que quièn creó esos ritmos,el señor Christ Kontos👏👏🙌🙌👍👍
Beating those drums like a rented mule. Furious.
You killed it in Chicago. Amazing
still remember you jumping in the crowd at paradiso amsterdam in '95, amazing show that was. Even better than the ahoy in 94 with slayer.
i love the crowd when they LET FREEDOM RING WITH THE SHUTGON BLAST
Your drumming has made such an huge impact on me as player that I go speechless... Watching this brings me back to my teenage!
Chris, that kit sounds thunderous! 😍
I love kontos my kind of drummer
Nice! Wanna see this band this way forever
Man...how sick is this. Awesommmeeee Drummer. Great Energy!
Epic drums... Plz join machine head again... Peace
That drum fill always amuses me
his top 3 of best drummers
2:16 is what we all came for :)
DJ Falko Hannover TOTALLY!

Haha, indeed ! Great fill.

hahahaha
Chapeau to this Amazing drummer
And for those who think age is a factor! Behold: Kontos the Crusher! Much love from Michigan!
Absolute machine ' huge influence on me this guy ' love his playing
Power with groove combined with taste
His cymbal work accents everything perfectly ' world class musician
Saw them back in 90s.. they were loud then... they still fuxxin..are...wow...awesome
That's awesome love it 🤘
Glad to see you behind a kit again.
Fantastic!
Best MH Album, best MH line-up. I wish they would stay together.. Would love to hear a new album by the original MH members. Sadly Rob didn't see it that way..
That's still not Adam Duce on bass guitar, but Jared. Not the original BME line-up.
Drumming of Kontos in Burn My Eyes is underrated as hell. His grooves really carried the album.
I was there and it was epic,can't wait to see them again in the summer
I fucking love this. It reminds me of Vinnie Paul - big groove and hard hitting. It's what I loved most about Machine Heads first LP. Fuck yes. HIT those fucking drums and give it some swing. I respect Dave Mcclain and his playing but fuck, I want "that" groove.
Awesome playing. If only you could have played with this consistency back in the 90's. I kinda felt cheated when Walter Ryan was tickling the drums at Donington in 1995.
