[WrathfulMetal]

How come when Rob say 'alright' the French feel the need to mention a delicate, fruit yogurt in the subtitles?

[pajdof]

ALEXI LOW-HIGH WINS

[Carnifex11100]

[Waynesworld99]

Alexi Lohai... heh.

[TheWolpatinger]

lol even "machine head" sounds gay in french xD

[EveMonroe81]

@TheWolpatinger Yeah, anything sounds gay with a french accent. :)

[quantumechanical]

@EveMonroe81 Does not matter if you are speaking to a hot french chick though.

[gaelnirvana]

@EveMonroe81 and your Girlfriends are wet when they hear us talk...

[EveMonroe81]

@gaelnirvana YOU WISH. Btw, french is my mothertongue... HA-HA.

[gaelnirvana]

@EveMonroe81 tant mieux pour toi... oh ...mais ...mais... je viens de parler Gay...

-_-'

[EveMonroe81]

@gaelnirvana L'auto-dérision et l'humilité, ce ne sont pas les premières qualités de la majorité des Français, hein... re -_-'

[gaelnirvana]

@EveMonroe81 si si pas de soucis, mais quand c'est dit de façon plus drôle et non pas d'une façon condescendante.

[Blitzzkreigg]

@gaelnirvana Girls get wet when guys speak any foreign language xD When I lived in Spain girls liked it when I spoke english, now that I live in the U.S. girls think it's sexy when I speak Spanish xD it's not only French.

[Shadowsghost]

@gaelnirvana yea cuz they piss themselves while laughing so hard lol nah jk I really like the french language/people. I once met french girls in denmark and they were funny and friendly as hell! rock on guys!

[SlowyBluesMan]

@EveMonroe81 No , i'm proud to be french and "machine head" in english sounds really nice in french :DD

[yoe91]

@TheWolpatinger ahhh, you Americans are just so refined !.......(ahemmm....)

[TheWolpatinger]

@yoe91 lol I'm german :D

and no offense to all french people ^^ It's just that I had to take french for 3 years now and I learned to hate the language :P sry

[ChiBi451]

@TheWolpatinger Lol

[MrMeatBullet]

haha! 0:52 PARFAIT!

[15viceandvirtues]

Seems like such a cool guy to hang with, and I've always had massive respect for him as a monster player : D

[Targon999]

@15viceandvirtues: agreed, he really seems to be rather down to earth ;)

[muteeurrahman]

3:51 Thrash!

[callumcartymusic]

i didn't know he did lead style until i saw this video, he's brilliant!

[TheMrMatiist]

3:12 I LOVE THIS RIFF !

[lefthandedmetal27]

he changed his picking style to his index finger instead of his middle finger. first thing i noticed, lol.

[TheNewThesis]

nice to find another band that plays in drop b :D metal forever 

[koryutheriverflow]

@TheNewThesis parkway drive ;)

[metalgirl150]

omg I love him!!! <3

[Caeryx]

Jesus man... That fucking guitar there's bigger than him

[MrDudeface23]

trademark? thats called legato bro. try Allan Holdsworth for trademark.

[chuchahan]

This is freakin awesome!

[lukeakaslash]

If Rob had released this guitar as his signature instead of the 'Love Death' guitar, I would literally be tearing through people to get my hands on it. It's damn near perfect this one.

[EveMonroe81]

@lukeakaslash He has actually. Just look up "Robb Flynn Gibson signature" on Google, you'll find it. ;)

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@EveMonroe81 no he hasnt. the gibson one he has is the only on in existence. and he only has the one gibson flying v. the original was an esp custom back when gibson wouldnt give them the time of day

[lilmetalhead17]

@EveMonroe81 I only found pictures, is it still sold? or ebay it?

[mexicanmaggot666]

@EveMonroe81 That "Gibson" signature model was actually built by ESP, the only "Gibson" thing about it was the truss rod cover. It's an exact Flying V copy unlike his old ESP V model he used on TTAOE and the beginning of The Blackening tour.

[iiAMAZiiNCARLOS]

He sayd Alexi Lohai but its Alexi Laiho from COB or what?

[WhyteHoodNegra]

@iiAMAZiiNCARLOS That would be his pronunciation of his name..

[MrBertStone]

Thats a big fucking scale for a guitar

[stangs4life1987]

And i thought i was the only person who counted from the top down lol.

[highintel]

wow.. Crazy Picking technique!!! Love this band!!

[somefunnyshit9278]

Emg pick ups for the win epic tone

[spudvader86]

@somefunnyshit9278 <------ this guy is a tool, cause he posts comments for thumbs up.

[Antec023]

Eddie Riggs??

[sakowihe75]

he holds his pick like glen drover

[ChroniquesDeReadDick]

Putain la présentation à deux francs au départ xD

[bmthloserkid666]

i love his sperm guitars T- shirt...xD

[bmthloserkid666]

hahaha i wonder what alexi laiho saw this vid would say? xD..maybe rob said it on purpose?? hahaha

[AtanasovPetar]

Signature lead style lol...everyone has done this for like 2 million years :D

[rodolfojelin]

soy el visitante numero 33333!!!!!

[desertdemon1993]

How the fuck does he hold the pick 0.o

[pigbenis74]

I'm pretty sure the "Lo-hi" is a joke. Robb does that a lot with names. I got to hang with MH a few times over the years through a mutual friend. One night after a show about 11 years ago we were all sitting around drinking; this was when Ahrue Luster was still in the band. Robb kept calling Ahrue "Buck". Finally, I said to Robb "Why do you call him Buck"? Robb smirks and says "BUCKAROO!" I nearly choked to death laughing.

[crazymike1706]

LOL-"Alexi Low-High".

[behemoth1966]

Robb is one of the gods of Olympus!

[shnakeaneggs]

i pick the same way he does.

[mati11223]

What is the tuning??

[metalist5677]

@mati11223 drop B i think

[mati11223]

@metalist5677 Thanks :D Cheers

[7thMaggot]

alexi low hi :D

[shiftxdXD]

odd. i also count from the top down when i play guitar

[StatiXuK499]

He plays his lead with his middle finger and thumb, kinda strange!

[2315MARCO]

he changes the way he plucks with the pick

[NavySealRay]

press 2 to see how Robb jerks off :D

[DaGagamel]

who cares he said alexi lowhi? i dont wanna know how many people say Robs name wrong.. ^^

[easre4dfr4es3wa2q1r4]

He is probably just a bit nervous showing lead guitar, it is different to what he is used to.

[TheBusch96]

oh my fucking god...his picking technique looks so weird

[METALUPYOURASS3996]

is he doing natural harmonics or pinched harmonics?

[jasonnightmare]

@METALUPYOURASS3996 natural

[METALUPYOURASS3996]

@jasonnightmare thats what i thought dude

[TheBubblesParadox11]

tout le monde! 0:26

[McDerff]

3:52 - 3:55 Too true.

[Antimalwaregeek]

"In rob world i count from the top down" - WHICH IS HOW IT SHOULD BE, a lot less confusing!

[RedShogun13]

Alexi Low-Hi

LMAO. We love ya Robb haha.

[kenzi64]

those two who disliked are having gay buttsex right now as we speak

[843andrew]

@kenzi64 u damn right son

[EvilGeneralFu]

@kenzi64 its a threesome now :P

[darmverstopping123]

@kenzi64 theyr now having a foursome

[xXxMetalJunkiexXx]

Robb is awesome! :)

[NiMrod8686]

his lead work is actually good! I think he was just nervous to show some lead licks opposed to some riffing which is more common to him.

[hamtheman222]

i think this is the first time ive ever seen his right wrist! he always has a bandana over it xD

[SeppermanProductions]

I also count from the top to down! :p

[DimebagDisciple]

LOL he's so shit at lead :D don't tell me about his songwriting or his rhythm playing koz im a huge fan of both ! but don't tell me you're not thinking it :D that lead stuff was embarrassing !!

[axlnoyce787823]

hahah accually robb plays both and switches between lead with phil for almost every solo which is pretty awesome.

ex: robb then flynn for beautful mourning ect

i wish there was a video of robb and dimebag playing together... now that would be phenomenal

[jfkdjfd]

That guitar is rather large.

[chimpo32]

@jfkdjfd He is rather small, its not the guitar lol.

[JamballsDeluxe]

@chimpo32 its also a baritone guitar, he usually plays those doesnt he?

[chimpo32]

@JamballsDeluxe Yes he does, it is slightly larger than a normal guitar. I made the joke assuming that guy knew Robb Flynn was only about 5'7.

[jfkdjfd]

@chimpo32 Then Rob must be tiny like Angus.

[BewareTheWater11]

machine head are so bland an uninteresting

[hjfndindl]

i really like rob flynn and what he does with machine head but theres nothing about hammer-ons and pull-offs that make this his signature style.

[Tangakkai]

man, he is so likeable and one can totally identify with him... so down to earth...

[3DChris82]

@Tangakkai Robb's as real as they come.

[megaboxxx]

low_high debate!!! joke? or not! you decide!!!

[filrocklove]

i love that guitar!!!! robb flynn rules!!!

[ApocryphaGuitarist99]

Alexi Low-High FAIL hahhaa Rob you are still so awesome

[2009korte]

sounds like my roland cube 40xl

[jaiwook63]

I feel ya rob I got fat fingers to

[WeveGotNoTimeToLose]

I know no wants to hear me say it... but this guy sucks... sloppy..... 

[DennChooch]

@WeveGotNoTimeToLose a little, yeah, but he's got decent chops.

[Doomdood13]

he has a strange way of holding his pick

[scott5Co77]

@Doomdood13 what ever works though eh dude? ive tried and failed lol

[FromHalo2halo]

@Doomdood13 I used to hold it like that, but had to change when I learnt to hybrid pick, it's not as awkward to hold as it looks

[snakelogan1993]

@Doomdood13 Just like Eddie Van Halen

[jonathanascencio133]

Whats the brand of his guitar strap?

[Tommf]

@jonathanascencio133 Planet Waves Padded Comfort Strap

[sixxthunderbird]

Haha I count from the top down also..

[samh97531]

I've never seen anyone hold a pick like he does, that looks a bit awkward. Ah well, if he learned like that and feels comfortable holding it like that then might as well.

[OfficialTorn]

@samh97531 Glenn Drover - Ex-Megadeth!! BOOM!! Oh, you did'nt see that coming did'ya!! Oh!! lol jk bro

[samh97531]

@OfficialTorn

Haha I've never noticed that he holds a pick like that either. It seems so uncomfortable

[rostislavburkatskyy]

Alexi LOHAN ? )))))

[6Vital6Remains6]

I like how he explains the most basic of riffs....but slower. THANKS ROB!1111

[6Vital6Remains6]

Christ, this guy is a jack of one trade, master of f*ck all.

[6Vital6Remains6]

Christ, this guy is a jack of one trade, master of fuck all.

[Bman1393]

OMG i totally play davidian the same way

[JTNorquay]

Robb Flynn is a rhythm guitarist, not a lead guitarist. He can shred too, but that's why he's not the guy running around the fretboard. He's still a goddamn amazing songwriter and a fucking phenomenal vocalist too.

[Blitzzkreigg]

@JTNorquay He's not always the rhythm guitarist, he plays lead in some old MH songs (take my scars for example)

[HurricaneTBag]

@JTNorquay Rhythm guitar is actually WAAAAAAY more important to heavy metal, than lead guitar. To play rhythm guitar like Eric Peterson or James Hetfield is probably harder than shredding like most metal lead guitar players.

[JTNorquay]

@HurricaneTBag Couldn't agree more.

[shnakeaneggs]

@HurricaneTBag

very true.the lead guitarist in my band relys on my rhythm playing.one fuck up on a chorus,bridge,or verse...

he freaks out and gets lost.very funny though that the shredder always gets thee most credit.

[PaoloDesdominus]

@HurricaneTBag I Tottally Agree!

[15viceandvirtues]

@HurricaneTBag Don't forget Jon Schaffer. Tight as hell!

[misterwiseblend]

@JTNorquay And he can play some complicated shit WHILE singing, which always impresses me. This band is amazing all around. I give these guys and Silent Civilian, one of my other favorite bands, for being guitar badasses whilst singing.

[JTNorquay]

@misterwiseblend Couldn't agree more man :P. I haven't listened to Silent Civilian in years, I should get on that again. haha. And as far as guitar playing while singing, I gotta give the credits to Matt Heafy, Chuck Schuldiner, and Muhammed Suicmez. I really didn't need to name all 3, but I'd feel bad if I left any of them out :P.

[misterwiseblend]

@JTNorquay Ooh!!! Great pick!!! I do not know Muhammed, I will need to look him up. I think Heafy might actually sweep pick while singing occasionally, lol. Death is just amazing. But I can NEVER get Silent Civilian out of my head. MY metal buddies hate it, and I understand why. It is almost TOO well put together, very polished in a way. But I love it, I think the lyrics are great, the solos, the rhythm guitar, the drums. THey have a newish album out called "Ghost Stories". I LOVE it.

[JTNorquay]

@misterwiseblend I will definitely check that CD out. Thanks man! :D

[lamentate07]

@misterwiseblend that's right, playing the riff is one thing, but singing as well, esp using counterpoint rhythms, is not an easy thing to do at all.

Rob Flynn is definitely one of the best at what he does

[josht617]

@JTNorquay they do trade off solos a lot so they kind of share the lead

[JTNorquay]

@josht617 Yeah, they do trade off solos often, but the lead melodies and harmonies are always handled by Demmel. However, I do see where you're coming from.

[josht617]

@JTNorquay well i do agree but when harmonies are played, both guitars are playing basically the same thing just one is playing on the higher notes of the scales. i think they both share the lead, but since rob sings, he takes as much rythm as he can get. thats just my opinion of course

[JTNorquay]

@josht617 I just realized that we came to an agreement while still acting completely respectful. And I'm sure we can still agree that Machine Head is a fucking awesome band. Good day, sir.

[josht617]

@JTNorquay but of course lol, the only good musicians are the ones who know how to respect the music, not just listen to it. they are god damn amazing and thats why im hear watching this video lol. you have a good day too
