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.

Struck A Nerve Lyrics

Machine Head

Give me power to end all of the strife
Courage to kill the pro-life
I dont want to see
You cant change me
You tell me not to bow
Just follow for now
Youre oh so holier than thou
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same
Give me patience
To deal with all the strain
Balance to take the
Fuckin pain
I dont want to fake
And I wont break
Were too happy to be
In our apathy
We smile single
File to the line
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same
So cmon, cmon, cmon, cmon
We gotta wake up
You dont know youre right
Your right from wrong
We gotta wake up
