Machine Head - "Blood Of The Zodiac" (2009)



It only took 'em twelve years, but Machine Head, those good ol' boys from Oakland, finally played the best song of their career, Blood Of The Zodiac, live.

The song finished off their 1997 masterpiece The More Things Change... and has been a fan favorite ever since. It sure as hell is my favorite Machine Head song. There's been heavy campaigning from the fans to get the song played, especially on their message board, the almighty Frontlines. By far the best message board on the web. I'm a regular there, stop by and say hi.

This is one of many examples:


Finally the band caved in and played it in Luxembourg (of all fucking places) last night. The result? Orgasmic.

Imagine my happiness to learn that one of the best blood letting sites on the net has not yet gone on hiatus. After living through the birth-growth-death cycle of KNAC (look it up) I was not looking forward to another. Keep 'em rocking Bro.

And while you're at it, Fuck the American Idol/Jonas destroyers of sound...and that fuck Boyle sucks too.

You have a lot of anger. You should take that energy and do something productive with it.
