one hellova heavy live cd!people say machine head is nu metal bs rob and now phil played some of the most brutal thrash around in vio-lence this is just a different style than most play so poeple have to lable it could you lable biohazard,pantera and COC in the simple geres no so why try. this is a pure shining example of good musicans playing live too many bands can't get the energy and percision of their cd live machine head can point blank!even the song i didn't like sound great i prefer burn my eyes matterial but damn it's all brutal live. it's heavy and great thats all you need to know!.
Greatness
I havent listened to Machine Head long maybe 4-5 years. This cd is the first live cd i have ever purchased, and i must say it is great. This is in my opinion one of their greater cd's. I would also reccommend this to a new fan so they can truly appreciate how great Machine Head is withought all the studio equipment.
pleasantly surprising,but not without flaws
The setlist on this album leaves alot to be desired, but the production is more than adequate. I wrote a review for this a while ago, but after seeing MH live I have defenitely changed my mind. . . and songs like davidian are still the baseball bat to the face they were in 1994 on burn my eyes.
I guess my only real problem with this album, is the presence of anything from supercharger, and to a lesser extent the burning red.
This does the live show aboslutely no justice, believe me machine head are 100 times more pissed off and hungry in person than on here.
I cant change the rating, or else id give it three stars. . . but this is still pretty cool, like if you want to hear none but my own but dont have burn my eyes (shame on both of us).
Must have for any MH fan
Even though most bands claim that is their fortay, when it comes to MH - they really mean it. Machine Head have been known for their live show. This cd is a perfect example of why they have gained such notority over the years. They mix in the old with the new and blend them both together with their patented live style. If you have liked MH at any point in time, this cd is a must have! You can't make a better live cd!!.
Blood Sweat Tears II
I feel it is one of the best live cds that has been put out in a long time. A great classic of metal, Machine Head has pulled out all stops with this live cd. You can feel how much pride they put in to there music with the hard hitting beats an great riffs on gituar. If I did not already own this cd I would be buying it agin to feel the excitement of listening to Machine Head agin. They are awsome an have no equals out there. Machine head rocks all night long in my cd player. \m/ \m/.
