Machinehead, a RR1 and a guitar Dime gave away.

If you're not a fan of machinehead, this probably isn't a great introduction to them IMO, but in the buildup to the release of the new album (the blackening) they've been putting up video-casts:

The final one:

has some of the solos from Aesthetics of Hate, which is about that fool that made rubbish comments about Dime in the media immediately after he died. Anyway, Phil (who's a jackson endorser) is playing a RR1 and Robb is playing a guitar Dime gave him. You may already have heard the story of the guitar. If you haven't, you may enjoy reading it Robb's own words. It's the first post here:

Pretty cool...I liked Violence much better...they should scrap Machinehead and bring back the Violence!!!

[MetalMedal II]

Violence's Phobaphobia is still a great song! But I still llike Machinehead despite a few black marks as they jumped into nu-metal for a bit. BTW, just heard they're supporting Heaven and Hell with Megadeth.

Why? Sean Killian's vocals sucked!

I couldn't care less who sang...the music, the riffs in Violence were far superior IMO...
