Machine Head's fantastic cover of Rush's Witch Hunt
The night is black
Without a moon.
The air is thick and still.
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill.
Features distorted in the flickering light,
The faces are twisted and grotesque.
Silent and stern in the sweltering night,
The mob moves like demons possesed.
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right,
Confident their ways are best.
The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will.
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill.
They say there are strangers who threaten us,
are immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theaters and bookstore shelves.
Those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves.
Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand...

Rob Flynn is a fucking beast.

Original was from Moving Pictures 1981, I think its weird it took 30 years to cover but again Rush is a hard band to cover since Neil Peart is 1 of the best drummers in the world and only a few can sound like Geddy Lee...ohh and I also believe that Alex Lifeson is a very underrated guitar player
-
ironic how rush was my dads favorite band and machine head is mine
-
the drums are really out of time in the verse lol.
-
Best song on the album
-
One of the best covers of old school bands in my opinion, they kill this song
-
Anyone that covers RUSH and covers them well deserve respect in my book. Hail the mighty Machine Head!
-
It sounds so strange hearing Robb sing like this haha :)
-
I love how the bass line sounds here, pretty epic I must say. For having no synth (like the original) this is done rather excellenty ^_^
-
Did a fist pump when the riff started. They fucking nailed it.

I love Rush and didn't really care about Machine Head all that much, until this record, which is pretty damn good. And this cover does the original song justice.
By the way... does Robb do the vox? I never imagined he could sound this good.

@25point869758 You mean the voice? Yes this is Rob. He's seemed to improve his clean vocals quite a bit in my opinion
