Still, that's awesome you like Machine Head too. I love The Blackening and I can't wait for a new album to come out next year.

Yup yup.
Been a big MH fan ever since someone handed me a copy of
Burn My Eyes when I was about 14.
I went to Mayhem Fest a couple years ago with a friend, pretty much specifically because MH was going to be there. There were a couple of other bands I wanted to see, too - Mastodon, Walls of Jericho - but mostly MH.
At one point, we hopped into a line that I
thought was for the free cans of Rockstar - but all of a sudden, some big burly security dude is telling us that no one else can get in line behind us for the Machine Head signing, and I was like, "Wait, whaaaaat?"
So I ended up buying another copy of
The Blackening right there for them to sign for me. Robb Flynn is even more freakin' gorgeous in person, too, like - oh man. We chatted for a bit, and he signed my CD, gave me a poster & signed that, and then gave me one of his picks. Before I moved on, he hopped up and gave me hug & a kiss on the cheek.
I was exceedingly proud of myself for not immediately melting into a puddle of goo all over his boots. I managed to make it through the rest of the guys signing my stuff and out of line before I was all "OMG, DUDE!" all over the place.
My pics & video from that day are on the laptop that is currently out of commission, but here's a random photo of Mr. Flynn anyway so I can just, y'know, bask in his awesome for a moment. Feel free to bask along with me. The more, the merrier! It'll be a group basking.
Ready? Set? BASK:
Yessiree. Om nom nom.
