Good luck to the new guys, people need to give them a chance (and some respect). This sounds pretty good to me! Also the childish Robb haters need to cool it. Line-ups change, people change, bands change, life goes on.

Dude is living the dream

10:08 To anyone who is confused, the original guys are playing the BME section of the shows. This is for the first half of the show with the Blackening stuff etc.

Sounds good. Looking forward to new material after this tour!

Welcome on board Matt

He was in my sister's ex boyfriends metal band, he's a solid drummer and a pretty chill dude

Dude hits hard 🤘

solid drumming, clean singles.

Welcome Matt 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Matt 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥 hell yeahhhhhh

Dream came true matt 🎯

Welcome Matt! Bienvenido a la familia Machine Head global! Wish we can see you live in Ecuador, South America soon. lml

Can't wait to hear some miced up performances from the new lineup. Dave has left some big shoes to fill but if this is any indication, Matt seems like he's going to do an excellent job.

nice job welcome

This is so badass.

Well, Robb need that kind of fresh guys who would respect Robb as a leader and do what he said. And it's not even a bad thing. I still remember community reaction when Jared joins the band and look at him now, on of the best basist/backing vocalists in the business. Robb know how to make a star from a youngsters. Matt, you in a good hands of a true leader and we're welcome you with open arms! See you in Kyiv, Ukraine very soon!

robb seems happy playing with him

Imperium is actually a easy song but that double bass part kicks my ass everytime, I need about 16 years in on that too lol ... Matt is a badass

The solo for hello🤩🤪

You got this Matt! Keep killing them skins!

Solid!

Can't wait till November Gona be awsome

He's very good =)

Matt and Vogg....Machinehead is going to be fucking brutal 👊🏽

I'm kinda sad the original line up didn't stay :(

Welcome Matt good vibes btw when will do or die released?

See you soon in Paris !

Rob ya always gave the best musician's always no matter what

So happy for Matt, I used to play in a few UK bands with him back in the day and he must be over the moon 👍🏻

Hell yea Matt. Clean as hell! Welcome to Machine Head brotha.

A fellow Englishman, respect. Still sad it isnt KONTOS.

Kontos eats this guys lunch... best drummer they've ever had

Chris Kontos for the win!

Please please please come to Seattle for a show. I didn't see any dates for Seattle for the Burn my Eyes 25th anv tour??

Machine Heads in my veins too Rob. Don't pay attention to the trash talk. People are just jealous.

DAMN

Excelente músico... Com todo respeito, não sei como está o Joey Jordison, mas para mim cairia como uma luva...

Jonol rob...🤘🤘🤘

You could call it a promotion from within

Please please pleeeease play Clenching in Birmingham next June!! Pleeeease So fight as onnneee, without a fucking guuun Words are the bullets to this revolution!!!

There needs to be a jaw dropped like option.

🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

What song is it they were playing that had the “Hello” solo? Is it on a record they’ve done already or is that something new they’re working on?

Hoping the dudes from BME are going to be who work on the next record.

I really thank Machine Head for sharing these kind of videos showing us their work. Note for Robb : it's time to cut your beard ;)

WELCOME TO MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robb, Your yawns are incredible. 1:02 . Nobody in metal yawns like that. MH always breaking new ground. BTW, I was a little butt hurt to see someone else behind the kit but this kid looks like he may have what it takes. We will see. Anyway , welcome to fold Matt.

Awesome drumming son! 🤘🤘🤘

The original line up didn't stay because there is no way Logan Mader can play Phil Demmel's parts on post-Supercharger stuff. It makes no sense to just change the guitar player for the rest of the set so they also looked for a drummer although Chris can play pretty much everything. That's my guess but i'm sure this is what happened.

Hello by Lionel Ritchie has already been stolen, “still got the blues” rips of the melody

I would have been much more pumped if Logan and Chris decided they wanted to rejoin MH, but these new guys hold it down.

Wish Chris would stay in full time but dude sounds good

This guy was in Devilment, Dani Filth's other band

What snare is that anybody knows?

Where's Andols?

thought chris was coming back

Im a Headcase from way back & idk wtf Flynn is up to goin thru band members like toilet paper, but new dude is pretty good- Kontos is fucking awesome- but McClain was the shit 💩 & always will be 🔥🤘💙

the line 6 flextone hd2 in the top shelf lol. i Have that amp as well

They're still doing 25 year tour with original lineup right?

The new guys got the rhythm fuckin down! But the drum sets cymbals sound a lil wonky on the first song. Idk but I'm digging this guy

Am I the only one who’s surprised at how many people didn’t read the press release and have the attention span of a flea, when it comes to this tour line up?

I hope he will bring some blast beast in machine head's songs

Hey Matt That accents gotta be Aussie! A sound replacement for Mr K, even if we miss him after the live songs etc you guys have Been jamming this year . Edit, I now understand he's from the UK and not actually replacing Chris as such..

👍💥🇹🇷🤯🙉

I don't mean to be harsh to the new guy but why on earth are you ducking away from reuniting the classic lineup permanently?! Honestly you guys have a great thing going on again at least from the outside!

Dudes set resembles that black masked delta guy

11:45 Badada

The new guy's hard as fuck I'm not trying to take any light from him but where's Chris?

FOLLOW MATT ON HIS CHANNEL!!!

Delta Empire should be your session drummer for that segment. Change my mind

Another new member?...

Nooooo! Please back Chris Kontos

Damn Kontos, what happened? He really looked so pumped to be with MH again. Logan always looked bored as fuck but I really thought Kontos was gona hang out for a while. Guess i shouldnt have got my hopes up. Either way, no MH drummer will EVER do anything better than what Kontos did on Davidian. That shit turned more people into Machine Head fans than anything else they ever did. Me included. He was the "Shotgun Blast".

Damnit...Chris isn't staying long-term? He was a money maker. Chris also has the extra flair that others can't imitate or capture. Bummer.

A fee hiccups here and there, but a few more practice sessions he’ll be ok

Why cant the original members of Burn my eyes line up do the newer songs too? i dont get why they need new members to play the newer stuff and split a show into two sets.

He’s not as good as Lars Ulrich. Kidding. Wow! He’s awesome.

Should just stick with Chris!!!!

Hey, don't make any final decisions, until I get my audition. I could definitely outplay this guy.

WTH is happening to MH? First everyone quits, then we get 3/4 of the old line up which is kickass and Rob is doing this? ...sorry, but I doubt these decisions..

Flynn acting like he didn’t destroy the MH legacy is a first lesson class in arrogance. Well done.

What happened to old boy I didn't know anything was going to change seem like it was all good. always sucks to start new

Sorry, but I prefer Chris!

That's my friends girlfriends brother on those drums 😮

Don’t like revolving doors

When your ready for a real drummer let me no.not kidding

He’s to plain for machinehead....

Someone take the dishes away from that guy. It’s just pffff pffff pfffff

Sorry...not impressed...when chris left and dave came and i was like ohh shit yeah great drummer for mh.he fit in.the new guy.. hmm noo.not just his drummin skills.he just dont fit.can say the same think bout adam.his replacement doesnt fit.

Everybody on here saying that this dude rocks come on really.......smh he's fast and kind of clean.... Kind of Kontos is the Machine Head drummer I read somebody's comment earlier that said to an experienced drummer this guy is better than Chris Kontos and I'm going to say it on the main post experience does not mean beat the absolute piss out of your drums as fast as possible to where no coherent sound is actually manageable Chris is a Groove drummer and a damn good one of his time the 90s brought in a new era of metal Groove metal MH should have stuck with it this new shit is garbage

This guy makes chris kontos look like an amateur.

boring

... And back to mediocrity.

Sounds horrible.
