Is Robb Flynn Bane?

In the comic books, Bane deduces who the real Batman is using nothing but his smarts. Or so I’m told, comic books have way too much text for my taste.

In the real world, Rob Flynn says Randy Blythe is innocent. I don’t know if I misread the article and there was more to it (like, shit I don’t know, proof?) or we’re supposed to take his word for it. I bet Randy wishes he could do the same with the Czech legal system.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t personally think Randy’s really guilty, and I can only imagine what a hell it must be to be stuck in an Eastern Europe (I’ve been trying to get out for the past 26 years), but seriously dudes, going around saying he’s innocent without anything to back it up is like praying to fight cancer.

Massive spoilers: cancer won.

It’s bad news when Bullet For My Valentine sound better than you

Yes, I’m a day late with this, but so what? I was busy getting laid while you were on Blabbermouth hitting F5.

Last night (or the night before) was the official Revolver Golden God awards ceremony (or something… The fact Korn won best album tells me it’s redundant and I shouldn’t care) and Trivium, Corey Taylor (of Stone Sour and Slipknot) and Robb Flynn (of Machine Head) got together to play through this fairly mediocre rendition of Metallica‘s ‘Creeping Death’. You can watch the live video above.

The main problem is Corey sounds like ass. But then, maybe you like ass.

P.S. If you’re wondering what the title is about, here.

Robb brags about his fans and their MH tattoos

Robb Flynn thinks his fans kick ass. I agree. It takes a truly dedicated fanbase to forget that their favorite metal band turned nu-metal at some point. It’s like finding out your girlfriend’s been in 10 gangbang DVDs behind your back and then forgiving her.

So yeah, Machine Head fans seem pretty loyal, I’d bounce at the first sight of a baseball cap. Anyway…

“We’re incredibly lucky to have a fan base that’s so passionate and so intense about our music. I mean, our fans live and breathe this stuff; it’s amazing. Every single day on this tour, I’ve signed kids that have our lyrics tattooed on their arm or the Machine Head logos and then they want to get our autographs“

The first kid to bring Limp Bizkit‘s Significant Other album for Robb to sign gets a $10 gift certificate on Amazon from me. I’ll throw in another $10 if you bring a LB tattoo, point to it and say to him “THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOU LOL!!111″

Robb Flynn makes fun of Lulu by stealing a joke from a meme.

Robb Flynn might be reading Dose of Metal, because he’s been asked in a recent interview about Metallica‘s Lulu, and he stole this joke from our post. Okay, so we didn’t really make that clip therefore we shouldn’t take credit for it. But we will, anyway.

“I think it’s horrible. I don’t get it. The Metallica fan in me wants to think that there’s this ulterior motive that none of us can see, and it’s helping them branch out into something different. But I don’t even get what’s going on. It sounds like Grandpa Simpson rapping over fast thrash beats or something. We’re huge fans of Metallica and they’ll always be my favorite band, but that record was bizarre. It was fascinatingly bad.”

Okay, so I agree with the guy. Lulu does sound horrible and that Simpson meme was way more accurate than it should have been. But Robb needs to learn to be funny with his own jokes. The internet is watching you, Robb. Don’t make us call Fred Durst.

Robb still loves Metallica. Clearly he hasn’t heard Lulu yet…

Revolver magazine recently conducted an interview with Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn. Much of the chat revolves around what it was like for the band opening for Metallica, his love for them, and whether he is a table or not. You can read more on the story, and view videos and photos from the tour, over at Blabbermouth.

Check out the video of James Hetfield joining Machine Head on stage to perform their masterpiece, ‘Aesthetics of Hate’, above. The performance is taken from May 2009 during the Death Magnetic tour.

Robb Flynn also got interviewed

Robb Flynn of Machine Head got interviewed by a site called LocalBozo. I got a threat warning when trying to view the original site, so I’m not gonna link it here — I’m sure it’s an error, so no hate towards that site, but I simply can’t risk infecting our readers. Not that I care about their computers, I just think God will punish me for eternity.

You can listen to the chat above through the magic of embedding, though, because what else am I gonna post on the site today? Metal needs to be revived, yo, there’s barely anything to write about today.

Speaking of Machine Head, they’re on another festival with Limp Bizkit, and yet again, they are below them in the lineup. Haha!

We weren’t around when the drama happened, but Metalsucks were, so you can read about it here (for nostalgia factor, or if you’ve never heard of it).

Video interview with Robb Flynn

Above, you can watch a brand new video interview with Machine Head‘s Robb Flynn, courtesy of Metal Injection.

In the interview, Robb discusses his love for ham sandwiches, gives tips on how to ride a bike, and finally offers his views on the US presidential election for 2012.

Nah, just kidding. I think he discusses the band’s new album or something. I don’t know, what am I, your mom? Just watch the video already!

Weak Recap: We be winning, playa

It’s no secret that we’re amazing, and we’re pretty modest about it, too. I mean, the rest of the guys who write for this site aren’t really that awesome, but compared to your boring ass, they’re Gods. I, on the other hand, am absolutely sublime. I truly believe a few decades from now people will be quoting my posts and giving them as examples of literary genius.

So why would I, of all people, interview the other writers for this site? Isn’t it a bit like Mozart interviewing Linkin Park? Yes it is, but unlike Mozart, I am pretty humble. And good looking.

Anyway, make the jump and read my interview with some of metal’s worst writers… Ever.

Robb Flynn wants to be in Metallica

Like I told you a few days ago, everyone seems to be ‘hearting’ Metallica in the press lately. I’m guessing the whole ‘Let’s bash Metallica cause they’re popular’ movement kind of died down, unless you count the peeps commenting on Blabbermouth articles.

Robb Flynn of Machine Head is the latest musician to give praise to the guys. Here’s what he had to say about the band:

“They’re amazing. They are a real band – one of the last real bands alive. Lifers. The way they arrange their set and blend their set, it’s the magnitude of everything. To me, it was a dream come true. I’m from the Bay and they were my idols. Just to see how much bigger that big could be and where things could really go.“

Keep it in your pants, Robb, jeez.

When asked which member of Metallica he’d like to french, Robb had no comment. He just got all red, said ‘tee hee hee!’ and went to the bathroom.

Weak Recap: Alex Dominates II

We’re back again, with another edition of our not-weak-at-all week recap – The Weak Recap (see what I did there?).

This week’s article is a sequel of sorts. Think big Hollywood blockbusters, well actually, to be honest. we’re more ‘S.Darko’ than ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2′ (although Harry Potter is gay anyways), or more ‘Dumb and Dumberer’ than ‘The Two Towers.’ So actually, it’s like one of those shitty straight to DVD sequels, but hey, shit sells and you’re still buying, right?

Why is this a sequel? Well, it seems Alex has been, more or less, dominating again because I’m too fucking lazy, and Guido probably has a life outside of the internet, or something.

Without further ado, I present to you this week’s Weak Recap. Now make the fucking jump, before I push you.
