Comments on: The Reason Machine Head Played Sonisphere http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/the-reason-machine-head-played-sonisphere/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:50:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Noddy Thrash http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/the-reason-machine-head-played-sonisphere/comment-page-1/#comment-30308 Noddy Thrash Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:27:55 +0000 http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/?p=14581#comment-30308 This argument fucks me right off! People have the right to like either band or both without being slagged off for it. I like Limp Bizkit they are a good band they take hip hop mix it with metal and create some good tunes on the other hand i also like Machine Head they are one of the top metal bands around. I have now gone off Machine Head because of their idiotic blinkered fans, I went to the black crusade at Brixton to see Dragonforce, Trivium and Machine Head and Machine Head fans were booing Dragonforce and Trivium because they were not Machine Head - WTF? I was looking forward to that gig because i was going to see 3 top metal bands that i really like. Machine Head fans seem to think they are the only band in the world they are not there are thousands of really good bands out there. I have been listening to heavy metal for 30 years and like a lot of different types of heavy metal its not all about what the kids like at the moment and really enjoyed the fact that the line up at sonisphere catered for a lot of different tastes!!!

Money may have been an aspect, BUT the must of felt the backlash from the fans after they pulled out. Yeah pride was involved in the pull out, but they swallowed it and played below LB, which is probably more for the fans (and the reputation) than the money! LB should have been below machinehead anyway, but really Lamb of God followed by MH is far better anyway!!

Machine Head now hold the records for the largest single pit and the most in one go - 21. As for Mike's post, granted it wasn't Machine Heads finest hour but every band goes through a rough patch. I mean for fuck sake, Metallica had a decade of dodgy moments but came back strong Caren Gibson just put this argument to bed – holy shit did you see that fucking circle pit.

Head were fucking awesome as usual. The crowd were chanting 'fuck limp bizkit' at one time after Robb explained the reason. Randy Blythe (LoG) praised his countrymen Machine Head (thats when everyone first knew for definite they were the 'guests'), Metallica and some others but I didn't hear him mention Limp Bizkit. Machine Head came for their fans- I reckon they responded to all the comments no-one condemned them for pulling out at first anyway- somewhere deep inside I knew they'd be there 'cos they are genuine- you can tell that from their lyrics- MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!!!!!!
