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.

Colors - Ice-t Lyrics

Machine Head

I am a nightmare walking - psychopath talking
King of my jungle - just a gangster stalking
Living life like a firecracker - quick is my fuse
Then dead as a deathpack - the colors I choose
Red or blue cause a blood - it just dont matter
Sucker die for your life with my shotgun scatters
We gangs of c.a. will never die....just multiply
Colors!
You dont know me, fool - you disown me
I dont need your assistance, social persistance
Any problem I got I just put my fist in
My life is violent, but violent is life
Peace is a dream, reality is a knife
My colors my honour my colors my all
With my colors upon me one soldier stands tall
Tell me what have you left me, what have I got
Last night in cold blood my boy --- got shot
My home got jacked, my mothers on crack
My sister cant work cause her arms show trax
Madness insanity - live in profanity
Then some punk claimin they understandin me
Give me a break, what world do you live in
Death is my sect, guess my religion
Colors!
My pants are saggin braided hair
Suckers stare but I dont care
My game aint knowledge - my games fear
Ive no remorse so squares beware
But my true mission is just revenge
You aint in my sect, you aint my friend
Wear the wrong color - your life could end
Homocides my favorite venge (beach? )
Colors!
Ill just walk like a giant - police defiant
Youll say to stop - but Ill say that I cant
My gangs my family - its all that I have
Im a star - on the walls is my autograph
You dont like it - so you know where you can go
Cause the streets are my stage - and terrors my show
Psyco-analize - tried diagnising me wise
It wasnt your brother that brutally died
But it was mine - so let me define
My territory dont cross the line
Dont try to act crazy - cause the shit dont thank me
You can be read like a punk - it wouldnta made (amaze? ) me
Cause my colors death - thou we all want peace
But our war wont end - till all will cease
Colors!
