Founded in 1992 by former Vio-lence guitarist Robert Flynn and Adam Duce. The first song on their debut album, "Davidian", features the lyrics "Let freedom ring / with a shotgun blast". Subsequently the video was banned from MTV due to its release date being very soon after the Waco Siege which it was apparently describing. Robb Flynn has since said that the song "Davidian" was not written about the Waco Siege but added that line to get people thinking. After their debut album Burn My Eyes (1994) Chris Kontos left to work with Testament and a stand in drummer was used for Machine Head's Donington slot in 1995.

Alan’s On Fire - Poison Idea Lyrics

Machine Head

Go!
All my life I have been used by you
Time has come our game of love is through
Since I was born Ive lived in the cold Ive lived in the dark
Now I want heat now I want light igniting spark
Im not a martyr but I am truth and you are a liar
But now my life of constant sadness goes up in the fire
I will
Be heard
And I will
Be heard
Step on me Im here for you to see
I hope you choke as I go up in flames
I told you my problems but you never heard a word
This is the moment for once in my life I will be heard
I know there must be a better way but I dont know how
Youve lied to me and youve ignored me
But you wont now
I will
Be heard
And I will
Be heard
All my life I have been used by you
Time has come our game of love is through
A burning passion from a burning mass
Reaches up for the sky
Ive called you here my devoted family turn to watch me die
Im not a martyr but I am truth and you are a liar
So now my life of constant sadness goes up in the fire
Yeah!
