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.

Only The Names Lyrics

Machine Head

Welcome in my friend
Out of the cold where its warm
Please step in
Whats your name my friend
My names the same
What a strange coincidence
Glad youre come to this place
Whats the pleasure you chase
Oh, you like playing with speed
Well I have all the answers you need
I can take you
High and make you
Invincible
Ill never leave you
Welcome in my friend
Try some of this
What youll feel is amazing
Tap a tiny blast
In a crease of foil
Place this flame beneath it
White smoke you will inhale
A speed rush you will exhale
The goose bumps prickle your skin
Just enough to dig the hooks in
I can take you
High and make you
Invincible
But now youre hollow
Youre crawling on the floor
But youll be back for more... yeah
Hello there my friend
Back for the sweet poison so soon again
But this lie must end
I must collect for those pleasures gave
When I first told you my name
I told you ours were the same
And thats not really a lie
My real name is your addiction
I will bring you
Down and break you
Burn right through you
Wont regret you
