Disney hates Machine Head[views:7150][posts:18]_______________________________ [Nov 9,2012 2:20am - Spence ""] Quite lolzie read. "Machine Head are currently on tour with Dethklok, All That Remains and The Black Dahlia Murder. With a lineup that is sure to both draw and excite metalheads, one unfortunate part of the United States is going to miss out on the full show, as Machine Head have been banned from ever performing on property owned by the Disney corporation. Thus, the Orlando, Fla. stop of the tour on Dec. 4 will be Machine Head-less. In 2007, Walt Disney Properties banned Machine Head from the ‘House of Blues’ venues in both Anaheim, Calif., and Orlando, the respective cities that are home to Disneyland and Disney World. Machine Head were banned by the company to due the band’s “violent imagery,” “inflammatory lyrics” and the group’s “undesirable fans.”" The best part is that they are letting the other bands all play. |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 9,2012 7:57am - the_reverend ""] nu-metal band? |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 9,2012 8:03am - quintessence ""] Early Machine head wasnt any more Nu metal than Fear Factory or Pantera. I remember kinda liking Burn My Eyes album at 14 years old. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 9,2012 9:54am - AndrewBastard ""] I liked Burn My Eyes and The More Things Change but they didnt age well at all... i hear much more nu metal in MH than i do in Pantera / early FF. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 9,2012 10:01am - arilliusbm ""] Burn My Eyes is a groove album but yea, one of the beginnings of nu metal. my exs mom was banging the bass player on that album. Cool story bro. And FF turned more nu metalish with Digimortal IMHO. Still a unique band, regardless. The term "NU METAL" is so broad. There were bands that teetered in and out of that loose genre, but its shit like Linkin Park and Disturbed, etc. etc. that people mostly think of when that term comes to mind. edit: appatently he's still the bass player, lulz. Band is awful now. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 9,2012 10:38am - Yeti ""] i never liked this band despite liking many bands they were associated with. the only song i can remember kind of liking in high school was "From This Day" but yeah, now that i hear it, it doesn't hold up. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 9,2012 1:42pm - goatrider ""] Disney is attempting to redeem itself. Strong is this lineup with the dark side. Ban the entire show, they must. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 9,2012 2:25pm - Spence ""] I enjoy the earliest and latest Machine Head albums personally, but that's just me. Their middle era is god fucking awful though. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 9,2012 2:28pm - arilliusbm ""] No idea what they sound like now, no care. I'd imagine they're more aggressive-sounding again? |

I wouldn't even necessarily say aggressive sounding specifically, just.... good again? I don't know. I like it. bennyhillifier |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 9,2012 11:48pm - BlackoutRick ""] No accounting for taste but still one of my favorite bands. Nowadays however they take a shit load of time to set up before they go on like fuckin rockstars |
