3 years ago we performed this song at my birthday bash after learning of Chester’s horrible death only a couple of days before. We were shocked and saddened, and I think most of us were still recovering from Chris Cornell’s sudden and tragic death, when this came along and hit us like a ton of bricks. I know people are gonna pooh pooh this, but I don’t give a shit. I love Linkin Park, I saw them before the first record even dropped opening for Orgy at the Maritime hall. I saw them almost every time they came to the Bay Area, and they always put on a fantastic fucking show. Played numerous festivals with them, saw them in Paris France doing promotion for the blackening, and I saw them again in Belarus well getting ready to tour for bloodstone and diamonds. I know Chester‘s passing was yesterday, but it seemed appropriate to share this heartfelt cover. Shout out to J-Mac for bringing it on the chorus. #linkinpark #chesterbennington

Tomorrow at 1pm (California time) after his Facebook Live at noon, Robb will perform an acoustic set alongside his son, Wyatt on a few songs.⠀ ⠀ Robb adds “As some of you know, I had been booking an acoustic tour in Europe for June of this year. ⠀ ⠀ I was basically going to bring my family out and I was going to play a handful of acoustic dates right after our European tour ended, and the plan was to have my son Wyatt join me for a few songs.⠀ ⠀ Well, that all fell apart…⠀ ⠀ With movement here in the bay area limited, not to mention the frustration of having our entire tour canceled, there’s a lot of pent up musical energy that needs to be released. ⠀ ⠀ With my son outta school until at least September, he and I have been jamming and we came up with a pretty rad acoustic version of “Circle The Drain” with him playing cello. Here it is for you guys to listen to. In fact the whole 33 minute performance is over on my Instagram live page for the next six hours or so for free.⠀ ⠀ Our partners at nugs.net suggested I do an acoustic performance on their site. This is a crazy time, our lives are all about to change dramatically. But we still have music. I know times are tough for a lot of folks right now, getting laid off and struggling to keep businesses open, so if you can't watch it I totally understand. I’m right there with ya. The first two songs will be streamed on Facebook for free regardless. ⠀ ⠀ We've got to keep putting music out, we have to keep being creative, we have to lift each other spirits up. ⠀ ⠀ Hopefully this will help some of you.”⠀ ⠀ Link in bio @machine_head or Swipe our story for info on how to sign up and watch⠀

Robb Flynn (Machine Head) Says He Has “Five Songs Tracked And Done” For His Upcoming Solo Album

Posted by caemanamelio on

During an interview with Full Metal Jackie, Robb Flynn (Machine Head) revealed that he has “five songs tracked and done” for his upcoming Robb Flynn & Friends solo album. The record will feature various cover songs that the frontman has performed during his birthday shows.

Flynn said the following:

“For the last seven years now, for my birthday bash, I have a thing called ‘Robb Flynn & Friends’, and I get a bunch of my friends together and we just jam — it’s, like, cover songs. I don’t do MACHINE HEAD songs. It’s ’90s hip-hop, it’s classic rock, it’s some thrash — it’s all the kind of stuff that we grew up with, and it’s fun — it’s just a blast. We have so much fun doing it every time. I probably have, like, 30 to 40 different musicians playing. The last one that we did just turned out really good, and I was, like, ‘Let’s just track this.’ I own a recording studio now. I was, like, ‘Let’s go in and bang this out and see what happens.’ So we did it live, and it was just super fun.”

He continued:

“I’ve got five songs tracked and done, and now I’m gonna go back and I’m gonna do — I’m think I’m gonna do the ’90s hip-hop groups. We did some Snoop Dogg songs and some other stuff. It’s pretty wild — it’s a loose, greasy, sweaty good time. And it’s just for fun. I don’t know when that’s gonna come out now. I know that [MACHINE HEAD’s record label] Nuclear Blast is loving it, and they love the whole concept, so hopefully [it will be released] soon.”
