New machine lyrics are just embarrassing. Worse than supercharger days
I'm glad to hear this was a good gig. I went to see it in the cinema on Friday and the sound was so bad we left after 15 mins.Aaaaaaand, I'm back. Nearly 11,000 miles and 20-odd hours in the air, San Francisco conquered! What an amazing thing - absolutely loved it. Amazing show, amazing venue, and more importantly, amazing people - I met so many people from all over the world, complete strangers but one big Metallica family: even with language barriers everyone was just so nice and like old friends within minutes. From high-fiving random strangers in the street, purely because they're wearing Metallica t-shirts, to talking to people in the merch queue, the Hard Rock Cafe, even on the boat to Alcatraz! What a wonderful thing the metal community is.
As for the show, it was just fantastic. The venue is lovely, and that American politeness and professionalism put the event staff at any London venue I've been to to shame. The stage, sound, lights, everything was faultless. Our seats were amazing - we were on the wheelchair access deck at the top of level one, so a completely clear, unobstructed view. The band, and orchestra were just top notch - not surprising really: the SFSO is one of the best symphony orchestra's in the world, and Metallica goes without saying. Once in a lifetime event, and so utterly worth the time and money spent realising it.

I saw an email about that yesterday, and has piqued my interest. Might have to trot along to that one
Yeah, it's a shame because the riffs are good. Like Blackening good. But the not sure what Robb is doing with the lyricsNew machine lyrics are just embarrassing. Worse than supercharger days

I'll pick up the disc on release.
I heard the new song the other day and thought it was just awful! Both lyrically and musically. Like The Burning Red bad.
I’ve only heard one song from the previous album, but after The Blackening and Unto the Locust it’s a shame to see Machine Head go down hill like this.
And what happened to the rest of the band?
I know there was some kind of reunion thing for Burn My Eyes, but what happened after that?
Where’s Phil Demmel and Dave McClain?
I know Adam Duce left/was kicked out sometime after The a Locust tour, but what about the other two?
Guess the music reflects the lineup change.
I feel it is time to address the many questions being asked about my departure from Lamb Of God.
Allow me to start with a relative concept of understanding. We all gave our lives to this, 26 years is not flippant. Each one of us sacrificed and lost much on a personal level to live the dream we had when we were kids. I will always love each member of the band for believing in me and agreeing to take on the world. We managed to find some love in the machine, but in turn it took things that cannot be recovered. I did not leave the dream. I did not make the decision to leave my life’s work. The truth is that I am unwilling to paint by numbers. I wish my brothers all the best in their continued ventures. I can assure you that you will hear from me again. I was given a gift and hope to continue to share it.
Many have asked about a motorbike accident I had in Thailand in 2017. It’s true that it was not pretty, but I’ve been well since August of 2018. Thank you for your concerns.
I support my friends and the dream I allowed them to share in. I loved and am still humbled by every second of the smiles and horns we elicited. There is an ambiguous concept in our world of “selling out”. I cannot define that outside of my personal understanding, but know that being trapped in a "creative" formula and/or playing the same song 10,000 times did not bolster my love of playing. I’m never been one to “phone it in.” I’d rather mow the grass.
I acknowledge and am truly grateful of achieving my childhood dream.
I have 2 GRAMMYS that sit on my mothers mantle piece. I think she deserves 3 so this party isn't over.
I was not given a choice in this and my dream is alive.
Feel free to say hello if you see me mowing the grass. It never gets old.
I appreciate each and every one of you!
Thank you!
Chris
PS: I may or may not be in touch with Kyle Thomas and Myrone about an Oakland Raiders concept album. This is neither confirmed or denied.
That would never happen in a Moody Blues concert. Far too many arthritic shoulders to get a good throw in.a thrown beer landed right on the sound-desk, frying it.

I went to a James Taylor concert in Cardiff and bought a bottle of water as I left one in the car. Guy behind the bar took the top off. Can I have the top please? No, you may urinate in the bottle and throw it at the stage! WTF, a James Taylor concert and I was 65.I'm amazed it happens at Brixton Academy at all given the drink prices.
