We spoke to Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn about their decision to cover the ‘Vulgar Display Of Power’ classic, ‘Fucking Hostile’.

“It was either that or ‘Strength Beyond Strength’ from ‘Far Beyond Driven’,” said Flynn. “In the end, we decided that we wanted to do a classic. We chose ‘Fucking Hostile’ because it’s two and a half minutes of pure, raging metal. It’s short, fast and brutal.”

“There’s some real intricate riffing parts in there,” continues Flynn. “We’d jammed it before but we’d never sat down and analysed it properly. I think we did a great job on it.”

5FDP played a bit of A New Level in London the other day…

Heavy as Frakk!

Can’t wait for Evile’s Cemetary Gates. RIP Mike \m/

The Avenged Sevenfold cover of Walk is not that great. Cannot wait to hear the Machine Head, 5FDP and Evile covers

No Cowboys from Hell cover? Aw well still awesome setlist

Bee_Gee

Someone pass me a tissue please

king of heavy metal

looking fucking awesome a definite must buy

KIUAS!?!?!? :D /m/

some interesting ones on there. I can see Malefice doing I’m Broken pretty well to be honest. I think it sucks that they’ve included Avenged Sevenfold’s Walk on there….as that was recorded years ago for a kerrang compilation

Agreed Barry, but apart from that it looks really quite good.

Particularly looking forward to hearing Biohazard’s take on “Mouth For War”, as well as Machine Head and Death Punch

Ah, Dream Theater did an awesome live version of Cemetery Gates with Russell Allen and Burton C Bell, that would’ve been awesome.

And I’m looking forward to hearing Kiuas do This Love :)

Why are they putting the avenged cover on? there are much better covers of walk. Looking forward to the album though. RIP Dime

Eviles version will be better i reckon than dream theaters looks like a good compilation unlike kerrangs shitty attempt, cept avenged suck balls

Hey the cover of Walk isn’t THAT bad!

M’s voice is quite well suited to it I think, and not too disimilair to Phil’s (yes he’s not as agressive but, granted both are vocalists with a decent range), and the guitars are pretty much spot on.

What’s not to like?

Besides, there’ve been covers (Pantera or otherwise) MUCH much worse than A7X’s…

Although it would’ve been nice to hear someone else’s take on Walk as opposed to pinching what K! did before :P

good to see kiuas up there \m/
R.I.P

I feel sorry for Evile, because Mike was like a huge fan of pantera and the band did a cover of Cemerty Gates before he passed away

In my opinion, it might be Dimebag Darrel’s Tribute but that song should be for him and mike from Evile

its ashame them both are passed away but they did there jobs to love us(Fans) and love what they desired to do in their lifes and thats playing Heavy Fucking Metal

RIP Dimebag and Mike \m/!!!

Sounds like a good setlist here. Looking forward to listening to this awesomeness.

Looking forward to this. R.I.P. Mike and Dime. \m/

Destroying Dignity

i’m looking forward to the chimaira track the most, ’slaughtered’ definitely suits them. aborted’s version is cool too. i heard chimaira play ‘walk’ a few years ago too, it was better than a7x’s version although i think they did a good effort. i know its been used by kerrang before but lets not forget this is a pantera/dimebag tribute and im sure a7x are honoured to be included on it.

now then metal hammer, any chance of a tribute to chuck schuldiner sometime? its the 8th anniversary of his death this month too, so maybe one year could we get a chuck tribute cd?

AWESOME! Except the Avenged Sevenfold one, i do not care for them.

at least they didnt include bullet for my valentines shitty cover of domination!

The QMeister

A good list aside from the A7X cover, couldn’t you have got LoG for this CD?

OMFG awesome track list, nice to see sylosiss on it

RawBeard

Avenged Sevenfold’s cover of Walk is pretty decent in my opinion. Although would have liked to have seen a couple different songs instead of that one again. Maybe a cover of 5 Minutes Alone by someone like Killswitch Engage. Also would have been interested in seeing bands like Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica do a cover.

what about a cover of shattered or war nerve. i love them songs

The Ginger One

I think Machine Head are the perfect band to cover fucking hostile

Luke (x)

why the fuck is Avenged Sevenfold on there? that is one of the worst covers of Pantera. couldnt you have got Devildriver to do it? some pretty awesome bands on this Cd but then Avenged Sevenfold makes me to not want to buy it.

i think Chimaira’s cover of Slaughtered might be pretty good but i dont think anyone could beat Aborted’s cover of it. thats pure epic in a can.

Micah douglas

Awfull cover of Avenge Sevenfold, awfull band. But the evile cover nd Machine head will be insane, Mahine Head already wrte a sg for Dime so cant wait for this. Would have loved cowboys from hell though

Fuck, not Avenged. They fucking suck and that cover is an abomination to metal.

Can’t wait for MH’s Fucking Hostile though.

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST CD TO COME WITH A MAGAZINE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LITERALLY CAME IN MY PANTS WHEN I SAW THAT SET LIST!

StealthyPike

Could’ve done without A7Xs Walk to be honest, still hoping thatLoG will do some Pantera covers sometime…. Still one of the best CDs MH will have given away though.

awesome, except from one thing:
avenged sevenfold got walk? seriously?
that’s the most disgusting thing i’ve heard in a long time.

im seeing machine head in feb next year in manchester i would hope they play it live actually as although i love em they have played the same set for nearly 2 years so it would be good to throw fucking hostile into the works

Fuck off A7X, ur too shit to cover Pantera….
Machine head fuckin rule, and so do Sylosis and 5FDP :P

Shame such a meh band are doing my favourite ever Pantera song (Slaughtered). Oh well, looking forward to the MH and Evile (RIP Mike) covers.

Sounds fucking great, apart from Avenged Sevenfold. Awful decision to include them, especially on such a fucking beast like Walk. :(

Sounds great- Some corkers missed off. No one could do Cowboys like PanterA so i’m glad thats been left alone. RIP Dime

Moshtank

OMG EPIC!!
Im gonna buy that issue faster than Steel panther goes through Groupies
Im unfamiliar with Pantera’s work but i know walk and thats all i need to hear to know dimebag is FUCKING AWSOME
i went to see shadows fall and ffdp on the 30th
and shadows falll covered a Pantera song as a tribute to dimebag!!
it was so awsome!!!!!

COBHCJQ

HOLY SHIT
SYLOSIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dimebag Danny

hey, this is danny from germany. I’m a big pantera fan and would like to know if the album will be released in germany too.

Destroying Dignity

anyone remember when In Flames covered fucking hostile? that was pretty sweet too. i agree that its good BFMV aren’t on the cd, that domination cover had awful vocals

also have to agree that Lamb Of God and Devildriver shouldve been on here, both have obvious Pantera influences. its still a shitload better than anything kerrang couldve done tho!

Yes Machine Head, Chimaira and Throwdown !
The rest can suck my dick

Josh (origamikid)

FUCK NOOOOO!!! Sylosis have just RUINED this. Sylosis by far the worst band to be touted as thrash since the bands started emerging again this decade.

A7x is just awful…just an awful cover. Evile will do a good job of CG as well im sure…mikes last recording as well!

FFDP will be ok, Machine Head will be incredible! Malefice… ok band but will be just a too screamy cover.

Shame you couldnt have gotten maybe some better songs…. Cowboys from hell is a must. Art of Shredding, Heresy – maybe some classics that dont get covered all the time… Thanks for not putting the BFMV cover in tho!

Brilliant compilation and includes my favourite ballad of all time- ‘This Love’. RIP Dimebag

The QMeister

Will this be in a Jewel Case or a board sleeve? I know I’d prefer something like this in a jewel case so that it can take proper pride of place on my CD rack.

would’ve loved to hear lamb of god covering five minutes alone, and i think it would’ve been better if sylosis and evile traded tracks to cover, i can hear jamie (sylosis singer) getting a better voice for that song than matt (evile singer)

Paddy Dobbin

Fantastic!

Zakk Wylde has to be on top :p

This is the last thing Evile did with Alexander so it’ll be poingnant.

Gimpaloid

No Floods? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

Chris Ward

Biohazard doing Mouth For War – fucking awesome!!!!

ruffneck

machine head shuda done walk,at one of the brixton gigs in 05 they done a medley with rfuse/resist, walk and the troope,they fukin owned it. a7x’s version isnt total shit but theyr r better versions….ie machine head.lol

Jedd Nero

Actually Bish, sorry but Shadows Fall played a little bit of New Level!!

Nick Austin

Oh God, I’m so glad Slaughtered is on there, it’s always been one of my favourite Pantera tunes (Along with Drag the Waters) and if anyone could pull off a cover of it, Chimaira can.

A7X does not deserve to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Pantera, let alone be on a tribute album. Are you kidding me?

“would’ve loved to hear lamb of god covering five minutes alone”

oh my god yes

damn, I wish there’s suicide note part 2. and A7X cover of walk sucks, maybe thrash or groove band should’ve done the cover and they should’ve used In Flames cover of Fucking Hostile, that’s one sick shit

For fuck sake, lay off Avenged!

I’m sick of you people ragging the out. Yes, it’s not the greatest cover in the world and they won’t ever sound remotely like Pantera, but no one else will. I have heard many worse covers of Walk in my day, so compared to all them, Avenged Sevenfold has actually done a really good job on this one.

As for the other songs, I cant wait to hear, 5FDP, Machine Head, Zakk Wylde and This Is Hell. All in all, nice setlist!

ForLoveOfDime

Hatebreed would have been a far better choice to cover Walk. In fact, I saw A7X do Walk a few years ago at Ozzfest and that pussy M Shadows couldn’t even sing it, Jamey Jasta had to come and save him. So.. Substitute Hatebreed into “Walk” and put A7X on a Brittney Spears cover album or something..

Disposable

Pretty cool. I’m a bit disappointed with the choice of bands, though, since Machine Head and Evile are the only really good bands on there.

It is F**ked I cant get a copy of this issue or cd anywhere in Australia. I have heard a couple of tracks on youtube and it sounds sick, every song i have head is a great tribute to Dime.

insane maiden

i.. freakin.. need… this.. CD! I missed the issue. I could punch myself. Please, does anyone know how I can get it now?
You could sent it to me *_^
