MACHINE HEAD’s ROBB FLYNN On ‘Burn My Eyes’: ‘This Album Changed My Life In So Many Ways’
This past weekend, San Francisco Bay Area metallers MACHINE HEAD celebrated the 26th anniversary of their debut album, “Burn My Eyes”. Released worldwide on August 9, 1994, “Burn My Eyes” was and still is considered to be one of the most important albums of its genre, garnering the band an unprecedented level of recognition and spawning a myriad of imitators — all from just MACHINE HEAD‘s first record. Last year, three-fourths of the “Burn My Eyes” lineup reunited to celebrate the LP’s 25th anniversary. Joining guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn and bassist Jared MacEachern were returning members Logan Mader (guitarist) and Chris Kontos (drums).

Watch Ted Leo with Members of Rise Against and Converge Cover the Replacements
If there’s anyone who knows how to get a group of musicians (in different places) to play an elaborately crafted cover, it’s Jordan Olds. And in his latest edition of Two Minutes to Late Night, he recruited Ted Leo to lead a cover of the Replacements’ “Kids Don’t Follow,” off their 1982 EP Stink. Dressed as a priest, Leo is joined by a powerhouse set of other musicians, including guitarist Zach Blair of Rise Against and former member of Hagfish and Gwar, bassist Nate Newton (Converge and Cave In and Doomriders and Old Man Gloom), drummer Thomas Cantwell (Gouge Away and Hesitation Wounds). Backup vocals include Long Neck’s Lily Mastrodimos along with Answering Machine’s J.D. Fetcho and Samantha Campanile. Olds also joins (as per usual) in his Gwarsenio Ha...
