Try renting an M2A1 or a Barrett .50 cal. Now that's America... except we only allow the state to own such weapons because freedom doesn't really exist here. We are all slaves to the state. Still, a lot of fun.
I'm sure it was inspired by... so don't fuck with me cuz I'm on the freedom train there's no name this time I'm voting with a bullet. 3-4 years earlier by C. O. C.
Part of what made that first album so powerful was the drums. Chris Kontos was and is still one of a kind - right up there with Vinnie Paul and Igor Cavalera.
1998 id go on the roof to smoke weed in the middle of the night, and I borrowed this CD from friend and this track dropped, I was doin air guitar in the moonlight high af by myself. I'll never forget that
Imagine if you will, actually purchasing music in a store without hearing it first. That you kinda remember seeing an add for this Machine Head band in a "Rock Magazine." Crazy right!? Now imagine actually buying "Burn my Eyes" with you hard earned cash, putting the CD in you Discman, pressing play and your head head explodes because Davidian is the heaviest song ever! True Story.
+Squid Tickler well, i'll tell you this: i knew machine head 4 years ago through guitar hero metallica and then bought the blackening, having listened to only one song. i forgot about them for a while and then in july this year i found bloodstone & diamonds, from which i heard nothing at that moment i bought 2 of their albums knowing few or nothing. no regrets.
I have a similar story, I heard this song on a college radio station around '96 or '97 (I was in the 8th grade or a freshman) and used to record songs I liked on to a cassette tape. I only caught the end of the song though, all I had was the brutal coda. Never found out who the band actually was. Then about a year or two later, I hear about this Machine Head band, and like you, just bought the CD without really knowing anything about it (back then, Roadrunner put out only quality stuff so you really couldn't go wrong.) Put the CD in, Davidian blew my mind, and then when that familiar punishing outro came on, I think I ascended to another dimension.
Yeah! Have seen them at this tour for the first time! Supporting Slayer on Divine Invention! 26 Years later I'm still listen! Have seen them a couple of times later, but never so good and energetic than at this moment! Cheers from Germany and stay healthy, pretty one!
"Davidian" Blind man ask me forgiveness I won't deny myself Disrespect you have given Your suffering's my wealth I feed off pain, force fed to love it And now I swallow whole I'll never live in the past Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast Burn my fist to the concrete My fear is my strength Power, rage unbound because Been pounded by the streets Cyanide blood burns down the skyline Hatred is purity The bullet connects at last Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast Scarred Pour the salt in the wound Unscarred
i heard one day that 1994 was a bad year because kurt cobain died. bruh,it was an amazing year,lot of albums were released like pointblack(nailbomb),far beyond driven(pantera),state of the world address(biohazard), burn my eyes(machine head) and the debut album from korn,such a good year for music
one can't deny this song features one of the greatest riffs towards the actual song the drum intro, the picking melody, the build up.... The actual song is awesome too. But I especially love the intro.
Hard to imagine this classic came out exactly 20 years ago today. *Machine Head* knew exactly what they were doing then, and presently are still doing it!
***** You're telling me that after '92, there was no more great metal releases except those 3 ? Tho I agree that Heartwork is a masterpiece. I'll give you a few metal masterpieces that came after 92 : When The Kite String Pops (Acid Bath) 1994 Symbolic (Death) 1995 The Gallery (Dark Tranquility) 1995 Metropolis Pt.2 (Dream Theater) 1999 Continuum (Prototype) 2006 Colors (Between The Buried and Me) 2007 And I don't know why do you think that the riff looks like "Slave New World"
I remember playing this when I was about 24 (quite a while ago) and my at the time teenage brother's mates were like "ah yeah, old school shit - this is awesome". I thought - hang on, last year isn't old school, but it was fucking 1995. And it still fucking rocks
BME album is evergreen... Even i still enjoys it from time to time..even though i'm 47@2021... Watched them once@1996@Manchester UK during my study years. Still got the ticket&t'shirt from the concert.
+DownFromTheSky89 or anything from descend the shades of night, sorry I don't know the album name but I know songs I'm a noob. This Band lol but anything past that is amazing
Machine Head is an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California. The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Adam Duce.
Machine Head is an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California. The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Adam Duce. The band's aggressive musicianship made it one of the pioneering bands in the new wave of American heavy metal, and it is also considered to be part of the second wave of thrash metal bands from the 1990s. Machine Head's current lineup comprises Flynn, bassist Jared MacEachern, guitarist Wacław Kiełtyka and drummer Matt Alston. Duce, guitarists Logan Mader, Ahrue Luster and Phil Demmel, and drummers Tony Costanza, Chris Kontos and Dave McClain
In 1997, Machine Head opened up for Pantera and performed at Nautica Pavilion in Cleveland. I ran all over the pavilion and thrashed about to this and other songs by the great bands on the bill. Machine Head would headline occasionally; but they usually toured with other headliners. They opened up with Coal Chamber a lot then. I saw them four times over the years and want to return to their concerts. They sell out venues now.
A Beatdown Hardcore band from my city plays that song live, and fuck man, it slaps so hard. They had such an hardcore attitude back in the day, that's a shame they lost it
I Remember when that came out...1994...I was 16...Watching Headbanger's Ball every sunday and waiting for the Triple Trash Threat...They played it there and I was hit...I ordered the album at my local record store the next day (they didn't now who they were)...I've had the Limited Black Edition CD (blackened hard plastic cover with only the yellow Machine Head Logo on it)...A t-shirt store also received a long sleeve T-shirt with a massive FUCK IT ALL on the back...They didn't know who they were either (I wonder how they got the shirt...Certainly a roadrunner package)....I bought it and I whore it at school the next day...My friends were sooo jealous I got my hands on it....And still have 24 years later...1994 was just a massive year...Pantera's Far Beyond Driven, Slayer's Divine Intervention, Machine Head's Burn My Eyes, Carcass' Heartwork, (in Belgium) and many more...
I agree wholeheartedly. Everything about this song is perfect: those tuned-down guitars with the skull-crushing tone, Robb's menacing growl and of course, the aggressive, complex and air-tight drumming by Chris Kontos. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it ends with one of the most awesome metal riffs ever, delivering a slow, but brutal finishing blow.
Great times!Still have this on old HVS tape.An old performance on Dynamo Open Air!Holland.They never reached the same level as ''Burn my eyes'' ever again.This album is solid as a rock!
Road Rage Tour with Chimera, Ill Nino and Fear Factory. I stumbled into this concert drunk, I walked out sober. Tequila pregame, few rounds at the bar across the street, few more in the venue. Walked out sober but essentially beat up. I remember that I could not move the next day. As well as the day after. I also got hit in the face with a broken drumstick. That was one hell of a concert. One of the best ones I have ever been to.
Out of everyone who was in this video, Flynn is the only one who is still a part of Machine Head. Still don't think he's aged since this video was shot. And guess what Folks: Less than 6 months until the 20th anniversery of Burn My Eyes!
Tom Martin Yeah, he was fired back in February. Flynn said he lost his passion for the music and that the progress MH made wasn't good enough for him. They seem to be gelling well w/ their new bassist Jared McEachern.
Another of My Favourite Thrash Metal Pounders !!! High Class Music !!! I remember when Rob leaves Vio-Lence and formed MH this album was a Great Surprise Gift from My Brother Luis and My Sister in Law María when they came to see us from LA to Valladolid( Castilla y León,Spain,Europe,The World ). One Of The Best Bands Live Ever !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
Probably the most American metal line ever: *"Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast!*"
Try renting an M2A1 or a Barrett .50 cal. Now that's America... except we only allow the state to own such weapons because freedom doesn't really exist here. We are all slaves to the state. Still, a lot of fun.
robb said he doesn't want to play this song anymore, because of that line..because of the las vegas shooting
whats got you freedom in the first place? they dont give medals to uk vets for crossing the equator. those old guys were not angels they were hardcore
I'm sure it was inspired by... so don't fuck with me cuz I'm on the freedom train there's no name this time I'm voting with a bullet. 3-4 years earlier by C. O. C.
This song is about that cult shooting in texas they called the people davadians.
Their drummer was a beast
he used to be last time i heard from him he just bitched about not getting any attenction
miss your bfh vids man ;c
Certain he is pissed off with EA.
Israel Costinha Yea EA sure does some shitty things to games
I like Dave McClain a lot more.
Part of what made that first album so powerful was the drums. Chris Kontos was and is still one of a kind - right up there with Vinnie Paul and Igor Cavalera.
But McClain is better.
@@sdsmt99 McClain’s good, but he plays too stiff. Kontos is a heavy hitter.
Oooh jeah....
that's really true.... 🙂👍
Yes he is a beast in a positive sense of course. Real passion compassion
I agree 💯% !
I should be studying. But here I am, headbanging like hell.
Study, Headbang, Drink Beer, and smoke weed. Damn good combo
Ha ha ha!!! 🤘
years pass but we all do the same thing huh
1998 id go on the roof to smoke weed in the middle of the night, and I borrowed this CD from friend and this track dropped, I was doin air guitar in the moonlight high af by myself. I'll never forget that
That's awesome. A lot of us have similar stories about our lives when this track came out. It's a simple reminder that we're all getting older too.
s.a.m.e))

Me too! ("so that guitarist from Vio-lence has started his own band. I like Vio-lence........I'll give it a listen.........HOLY SHIT!!!!!")
Such a timeless track. Hard to believe this album is 26 years old!
Yeah! Have seen them at this tour for the first time! Supporting Slayer on Divine Invention! 26 Years later I'm still listen! Have seen them a couple of times later, but never so good and energetic than at this moment! Cheers from Germany and stay healthy, pretty one!
We are fucking old lol
The music of my youth. Bad english, no money, no job, but tape in my old Walkman = happiness. =)
"Davidian"
Blind man ask me forgiveness
I won't deny myself
Disrespect you have given
Your suffering's my wealth
I feed off pain, force fed to love it
And now I swallow whole
I'll never live in the past
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Burn my fist to the concrete
My fear is my strength
Power, rage unbound because
Been pounded by the streets
Cyanide blood burns down the skyline
Hatred is purity
The bullet connects at last
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Scarred
Pour the salt in the wound
Unscarred
Hell yea !!.. MACHINE MOTHER FUCKINH HEAD MOTHER FUCKING FUCKERS.
head bang motherfucking fuckerss
Do you know how yo head bang Mother fuckers??? !!!
@@miflintacanga but... do you even bang bro?
1994 was a good year
Eric West @2020 yes, we are throwing mad shade at you
Zo fucking tired of this year
Damn right!

This has to be one of the best metal songs ever. Maybe not even just for metal, it's just a perfect composition imo.
Yeah one of the albums that saved metal in the early 90's
Edward Saw Vulgar display of power 👊
Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, etc, etc did. Not this Ozzfest/Mayhem fest, Hot Topic nonsense. Lol.
@@MetalAsylumNJ I agree to Iced Earth and Gamma Ray
Debutalbum by The Haunted was a great addition too.
one can't deny this song features one of the greatest riffs towards the actual song
the drum intro, the picking melody, the build up....
The actual song is awesome too. But I especially love the intro.
Hard to imagine this classic came out exactly 20 years ago today. *Machine Head* knew exactly what they were doing then, and presently are still doing it!
yup...they get better and better.
Groove Metal is the best metal Sub-genre \m/
And it still kicks our asses like no other song !
*****
You're telling me that after '92, there was no more great metal releases except those 3 ?
Tho I agree that Heartwork is a masterpiece.
I'll give you a few metal masterpieces that came after 92 :
When The Kite String Pops (Acid Bath) 1994
Symbolic (Death) 1995
The Gallery (Dark Tranquility) 1995
Metropolis Pt.2 (Dream Theater) 1999
Continuum (Prototype) 2006
Colors (Between The Buried and Me) 2007
And I don't know why do you think that the riff looks like "Slave New World"
Honestly their best song was Beautiful Mourning
Aahh the '90s, the fucken golden yrs
Burn my eyes is my favourite album by them by a long way. Hard to believe it doesn't sound dated at all. Kontos was an absolute beast on the drums.
This album was one of a handful that got me through a rough patch in my life over 25 years ago. This song is still a piece of musical art.
I remember playing this when I was about 24 (quite a while ago) and my at the time teenage brother's mates were like "ah yeah, old school shit - this is awesome". I thought - hang on, last year isn't old school, but it was fucking 1995. And it still fucking rocks
BME album is evergreen...
Even i still enjoys it from time to time..even though i'm 47@2021...
Watched them once@1996@Manchester UK during my study years. Still got the ticket&t'shirt from the concert.
@@samdin8594 yeah I'll break it out when I'm having a workout sometimes - it still gets those juices flowing!
this album was great,there is no other machine head album after this one
+full stack I take it you don't like The More Things Change then. Awesome follow up to Burn My Eyes, just as good if not better IMO and I love BME.
this idiot hasn't listened to their last 4 albums
+DownFromTheSky89 or anything from descend the shades of night, sorry I don't know the album name but I know songs I'm a noob. This Band lol but anything past that is amazing
+Syrus Opliger the name of that album is through the ashes of our empires :)
Vitor Heerdt "unto the locust" what the fuck?
I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS PIECE OF MUSIC HISTORY
THANK GOD I'VE BECOME CALMER SINCE🤘😃
Machine Head and Fear Factory. Still the best.
Machine Head is much better
You wrote Fear Factory wrong.
Not even.
I saw fear factory and machine head play together in Sydney Australia a month ago. Fear factory were really good
Machine Head is an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California.
The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Adam Duce.
Burn my eyes:10% Machine Head,90% Kontos drumming
That breakdown oitro thing at the end is one of the best riffs I've ever heard
I'll be 41 this month and every time my neck hurts, I think of this song. 🤘
03:40 one of the best groove riffs of all time, with roots (sepultura) and damnation (pantera)
I'm doing double kicks under my table at the library and people are giving me weird looks now. Thanks Machine Head
Listened to this everyday back in 94 when this came out Their best release \m/
What a track and what a debut album.
Took the baton from Pantera and went faster, further etc. Saw them in Tampa in 94 and was blown away...
It might have been 1995
saw them on MTV back then ,bought the album and saw them live shortly after that ... Awesome time :)

the golden age of machine head best line up
Holyshit those drums. Specifically the engineering, they sound amazing!
This track is 20 years old and still sounds superb.
i don'y know how old this song is, yet i still use it's outro to plow my field every year. never lets me down
I bet in a couple years tops, this song will reach 100k likes!! A classic metal marvel 🤘🏼🤘🏼
God, I think that breakdown is the HEAVIEST I have EVER heard!!
41 uears old. Heard this when it came out. Still one of the heaviest things I've ever heard. Balls out fucking heavy as shit. 🤘✌
Chris Kontos was such an awesome drummer. His fills on that song remain tasty and amazingly powerful, especially on the pre-verses.
The drummer was beyond the whole fuckin time
+Marc Slayer no shit! that's the point -.-
Best Groove Metal band ever!!! And this is their best Album and best song!!
Craig Hauser it stand up to any other,maybee even better than vulgar, far beyond, souls of a new machine, chaos a.d.
THIS AND THE MORE THINGS CHANGE !!!!
What about HELMET & PRONG!? ✊🎶😉
the one and only machine head album...non but my...
This is pure awesomeness man! Wish it was the good o' 94 again when music was alive!
2021 and still an absolute BANGER!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was the first Machine Head track i heard. Instantly wanted to hear more.
In 1997, Machine Head opened up for Pantera and performed at Nautica Pavilion in Cleveland. I ran all over the pavilion and thrashed about to this and other songs by the great bands on the bill.

Still one of my all time favourite bands and appslutly love the opinaing on the guitar s 🤘
This was the "cassette" that I listened to every single day, beginning to end! Unforgettable album! Those were the days! \m/
My favorite song off this album. Kick ass jam
Great album
Great song
Great video
Great guitar WORK
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is a perfect song.
I love the distortion on the guitars and everything else.Keep up the good work Machine Head!!!!!
there was a time when this album never left my cd player for months actually it was almost a year before it came out and i still love it
A Beatdown Hardcore band from my city plays that song live, and fuck man, it slaps so hard. They had such an hardcore attitude back in the day, that's a shame they lost it
The song that got me into MACHINE HEAD back when it aired first time on MTV´s Headbangers Ball Europe
Diese musik 90er hat mich geprägt zum besseren menschen
I Remember when that came out...1994...I was 16...Watching Headbanger's Ball every sunday and waiting for the Triple Trash Threat...They played it there and I was hit...I ordered the album at my local record store the next day (they didn't now who they were)...I've had the Limited Black Edition CD (blackened hard plastic cover with only the yellow Machine Head Logo on it)...A t-shirt store also received a long sleeve T-shirt with a massive FUCK IT ALL on the back...They didn't know who they were either (I wonder how they got the shirt...Certainly a roadrunner package)....I bought it and I whore it at school the next day...My friends were sooo jealous I got my hands on it....And still have 24 years later...1994 was just a massive year...Pantera's Far Beyond Driven, Slayer's Divine Intervention, Machine Head's Burn My Eyes, Carcass' Heartwork, (in Belgium) and many more...
The whole music is incredible, but the vocal power is fire drowned by the hell itself!
Lucky enough to see them live in 97... killed this song!!!
I agree wholeheartedly. Everything about this song is perfect: those tuned-down guitars with the skull-crushing tone, Robb's menacing growl and of course, the aggressive, complex and air-tight drumming by Chris Kontos. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it ends with one of the most awesome metal riffs ever, delivering a slow, but brutal finishing blow.
One of the HEAVIEST songs ever !
Glad I found this song, this is the kind of shit that brings me into becoming a fan. Badass tune!
Happy 25th!! What a show at the Danforth in Toronto the other day. 25 years and still going strong🤘 #machinefuckinghead
fast, heavy, catching... Machine Head Style.. i love it .. since 1994
Twenty years old this year I think. Still sounds so fresh.
Hey Chris. It's Spaldy. Fancy seeing you here!
As if the rest of the song wasnt heavy enough, that outro is like a a cement wall falling on a house of glass.
THIS IS THE BEST FUKKN SONG SINCE BECOMING FROM PANTERA!! NEVER GETS OLD!!! I CAN PLAY THIS SONG ALL DAY!!
Great times!Still have this on old HVS tape.An old performance on Dynamo Open Air!Holland.They never reached the same level as ''Burn my eyes'' ever again.This album is solid as a rock!
if the concept of badasseey had a theme song.. this would be it
The drums are so damn groovy!! Awesome
Holy shhh. I haven't listened to this tune in, I think, 20+ years. I've missed it greatly.
One of the best albums ever produced by far ,it is a album what can put on repeat all night 👍
Incredible, the end is so heavy!
Fkn drums sound incredible on this track!!
OUTSTANDING. Best album. PERIOD...
First song of first Machine Head album : MASTERPIECE. Congrats !
2019 ? .. yep this song is still relevant !! 🤘

Out of everyone who was in this video, Flynn is the only one who is still a part of Machine Head. Still don't think he's aged since this video was shot.
And guess what Folks: Less than 6 months until the 20th anniversery of Burn My Eyes!
Adam Deuce has gone?
Tom Martin
Yeah, he was fired back in February. Flynn said he lost his passion for the music and that the progress MH made wasn't good enough for him.
They seem to be gelling well w/ their new bassist Jared McEachern.
Marijan Desin Or he continues to have passion for the music, one or the other.
Saw them for the first time last night. Lost my shit when they played this.
yeahhhh! keep rockin!
BEST OF THE BEST ! LISTEN IT OVER AND OVER AND NEVER GET ENOUGH OF IT!
good ol times...Classic!
That outro riff is the most metal thing I’ve ever heard
