Hetfield Joins Machine Head
James Hetfield playing ‘Aesthetics Of Hate’ with Machine Head? We think that you want a piece of this action.
Machine Head were joined onstage by none other than James Hetfield in Oberhausen, Germany for a rendition of the former’s mammoth riffathon, ‘Aesthetics Of Hate’.
Fan-filmed footage can be found here. Blabbermouth also have photo’s of the performance.
You can find both band’s on the bill of this year’s Sonisphere festival!
Sonisphere will be headlined by Metallica and Linkin Park and will take place on August 1st – 2nd at Knebworth. Also on the bill will be Nine Inch Nails, Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, Machine Head, Lamb Of God, Alice In Chains, Mastodon, Anthrax, Airbourne, Thin Lizzy, Killing Joke and The Sword.






Makes a change from most of the usual lame shit Hetfield’s been playing for years now. I’m amazed he can remember what thrash is.
I had hoped of seeing something like this @ the London shows. Very jealous. Two of my favourite bands (well 1 member of my favourite band) rocking out together. Lucky Germans.
Machine Head are not thrash
mosh hetfield helped pioneer thrash so shut the fuck up and kris machine head are indeed a thrash band
Kris Dobo……whhhhhhaaaaaaatt?
Do you know what thrash is?
Lol why do arguments ALWAYS break out, so lame. Anway I’ll jump in and say that Machine Head or groove metal and not thrash. The influence is definantly there but it’s silly to say Machine Head and Sadus sound remotely similar.
Machine Head are Indie, Metallica are Gangsta Rap and The Berzerker play Jazz flute.
True story.
To Kris Dobo: I think you’ll find they are, bay area thrash to be exact.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ARe you all retarded? How are Machine Head thrash? You fucking retards. If you believe that you shouldn’t even be listening to metal.
If they play together at Sonisphere I will go mental.
And they are both Thrash as far as I am concerned, Lamb of God are groove.
Jeez!! Get over ya selves!!! Does it matter??
Yes it does matter. Machine Head are groove (or shit) prue an simple. There is no other answer so stop being silly kids.
So Burn My Eyes and The Blackening aren’t thrash. Hmm… news to me.
I think Machine Head are a blend of thrash and groove. Where some songs are thrash whilst others are groove. They also have had nu metal on previous albums.
Yep Hetfield helped pioneer thrash metal, he and his band helped cliff and mustaine pioneer thrash metal, then they forgot all about it!, it`s nice seeing this guy playing real metal again!!
machine head arwe cool metal bad
Thrash or not well both bands are epic and they present good music
