Robb Flynn said on a MH board:
On SC/Machine Head Bashing:
"""There's a very real, general vibe, to bash SC / Machine Head on here, and there's a definate mob mentality about it. Like......say you like SC and get flamed. Or.....say it sucks , get a laugh, and get accepted by "The Forum". Especially for a nu-bee, he's gonna say whatever he has to, to get accepted the quickest. It's easier to go with the pack, than to stray.
Hell, my Mom came on here and was like "It seems like everyone on there hates you, why do they go there" And after stumbling over some dumb answers, I couldn't give her one. I said, "I don't know Mom".
Our Record company has used it as an arguement not to give us tour support. "Even the kids on your own Board hate your record!!, do you think they want to go see you live????
"""
On The New Album:
"""And, not to belabour this much belaboured topic, BUT. You want a better Machine Head 5th record? Stop telling us about how much you hate the last one. I know it makes you feel better about it, and that you think that it's going to make us write BME part II. But the reality is, you're doing the opposite. You're making us want to write 10 more Superchargers just to spite you. Because the people that it really pissed off, the ones that went CRAZY, we're / are an endless source of entertainment to us.
It's like if your Mom, or your boss were always, ALWAYS, reminding you about that last "thing" you did, and how bad you did it, and how much you sucked at it, and how lame you did your last project, and "what's happened to you".
After a while your gonna be like "Fuck you" ." I'm gonna do it however I want to, and if you don't like it.....GOOD, who needs you".
"""

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a next MH record to be a REAL METAL record

I'm glad to see you're off that bandwagon - at least until the new disc comes out right
