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.

Spine Lyrics

Machine Head

Bitterness infested,
Justice is molested
Govern my contested ways
As a child arrested,
As a man detested
Happiness inside my pain
You hate my life
Because you see my strife
Could never understand or try
It makes me mad
Because it makes me sad
But I dont care why
You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity
I see right through your soul
Cant help but feel this cold
But this city made me so
Life filled with deception,
Unwanted inception
Want redemption for it all
All my life
Frustrated, pushed, alienated
Wait for me to take a fall
My faith has waned
Because I feel the strain
In my eyes its all gone wrong
Well rise above
From this lack of love
It wont be long now
You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity
I see right through your soul
Cant help but feel this cold
But this city made me so
Lead: logan
Im not the only one
Cant be the only one
No
