    für alle die zeit haben und englisch verstehen
    das sagt robert flynn zum tod dimebag darrels :cry:
    ----------------------------------------------------------

    I still can't believe it.

    To say that Machine Head were devastated... there aren't even words. We
    found out about this unbelievable event while in Zagreb, Serbia. The sports
    arena we were playing had no phone lines, no internet, virtually zero cell
    reception, no TV, no heat. We had nothing but patchy info for the next few
    days as we played more shows in Eastern Europe, and frustration started to
    boil. It was impossible to call anyone, check e-mail, anything. It's only now that
    I've finally been able to sit down and read everything surrounding what
    happened.

    That night, we dedicated "Descend The Shades Of Night" to Dimebag, a man who
    inspired us in so many ways. I lost it on stage. We all lost it on stage.
    It's horrible. Things like this just don't happen. Musicians don't get
    KILLED on stage... while they're PLAYING... what the fuck? What the fuck is
    wrong with people?

    Dimebag was one in a million. He was the Randy Rhoads, the Jimi Hendrix of
    our time. I'm not gonna try and make it look like Dime and I were best
    buddies, we weren't... but I would certainly call him a friend. I met
    Dimebag for the first time on Ozzfest in '97. He invited Logan and I into
    their dressing room, and I remember being so fuckin' stoked to be hanging
    out in the Pantera dressing room, like I had made it into some cool guy
    club. I loved Pantera, and tried my hardest to mask my excitement... I
    didn't do a very good job, 'cause Darrell kept coming up to me and saying
    "Damn dude, you look like you're doin' all right!", and all I could muster
    in the moment was "...yeah". He offered me a gazillion shots of whiskey
    that day, and over the next couple of months we hung out... not a lot, as I
    tried not to be a fan boy, but I couldn't help it, they were fucking
    amazing.

    Eventually they asked us to support them on their headline run for
    "Trendkill". It was here that we learned that it was okay to treat your
    support bands like equals - something we continue to practice to this day.
    That tour was one of the funnest, craziest, greatest god damned tours we
    have ever done, and none of us have, or will ever forget the opportunity, nor
    the experience. Like it was yesterday, I remember one night, Dimebag got
    wasted (as he sometimes did)... but I mean, WASTED! ...and during Coal
    Chamber's set, he grabs my backup guitar, goes out on stage and starts "air
    guitaring" with them during one of their songs. Coal Chamber looked around
    nervously and just kinda went with it... he then proceeded to smash my
    guitar down on the stage, completely shattering the neck. I thought to
    myself, "uh... okay, we're sorta on next... what do I do?" Then I figured,
    "eh, fuck it, I'll worry about it tomorrow".

    After our set, we go out to watch Pantera. And let me just say, that to
    watch this man, who literally could not talk backstage, thinking all the
    while, "oh my GOD, this is gonna be a train wreck"... we all just stood
    there with our jaws on the floor as that motherfucker went out and played a
    perfectly fucking FLAWLESS show. Every rhythm, every lead... just NAILED
    it. It was in-fucking-human.

    So the next day I go up to him and say "Hey man, do you remember what you
    did to my guitar last night?" He's like "Uh... refresh my memory"... so I
    say, "You... uh... smashed the neck in half"... to which he says "No shit
    dude?! I'll take care of you, no problem, don't worry!" He then had his
    tour manager give us TWICE as much money as it would cost to replace /
    repair the neck. And then a week later, while we're ON STAGE in Chicago, he comes out,
    and brings both Logan and I brand new, top-of-the-line Dimebag Darrell
    signature guitars - these things were worth probably 2500 dollars each - and
    he whispers in my ear, "Sorry about the neck, Carjacker" (a nickname he had
    for me)... I mean, COME ON!?

    The next time we saw him, he played us some "just finished" mixes for the
    then-unreleased "Reinventing The Steel" record at he and Vinnie's Club. We
    were all worshipping. We drank shitloads, and he even rocked on the vodka
    with us, rather than the whiskey, just 'cause he remembered that The Head
    like vodka. A week later I get a package at our hotel in Pittsburg... he
    had sent 4 one-liter bottles of expensive-ass Ketel One vodka, all the way
    from Texas, with a note that read "Carjacker, it was killer hanging out with
    you the other night. Remember, it's Goddamn Electric! -Your brother Dime".
    That's the type of guy he was, such a giving person. 200 bucks worth of
    vodka? Bah, no problem.

    The last time I saw him was at Download / Donington this year. He told me
    he was "blown away" by our new record. "Record of the year" he kept saying.
    To hear him say that really meant a lot. I mean it REALLY meant a lot. To
    be honest, and this is just a hunch, but I think it was the first record of
    ours that he really liked. My impression was always that he thought our
    other records were... good.

    So he's backstage warming up on my Black V after his guitar was rushed
    onstage, and he promises to send me more vodka for letting him "warm up"...
    to which I reply "Dude, don't even think about it".

    Right after Download I got to thinking about he and Vinnie, and I ended up
    faxing him a letter to wish him well with Damageplan, remind him that he'd
    better not be thinking about sending me bottles of vodka, and to tell him
    how much of an influence Pantera was on me / us, and in particular, his
    playing, his guitar tone, the lyrics about unity - everything - had been on
    Machine Head, especially early on. It was something I'd always wanted to
    say to him, and even though we had toured with them, twice even... for some
    reason I always clammed up, or got insecure about saying it when I was
    around him.

    Right before we went out on this last tour, he calls me up around midnight,
    I'm driving home at the time and happen to be awake. He tells me he has
    someone who wants to talk to me, so I say "Oh, yeah?", and he puts me on the
    phone with this HUGE Machine Head fan... apparently the kid had walked into
    this Mexican restaurant, ran into Darrell, and during their conversation
    they both got to talking about how much they loved "Through The Ashes...",
    and the kid says to Darrell, "Robert Flynn's my idol, I'd do anything to
    meet him". So Dime whips out his phone and says, "Let's call him!". So
    there I am, talking to this kid for like 15 minutes, mostly about
    how much we both love Pantera... soon afterward he puts Dimebag back on, and
    we talk for another half hour or so, mostly about the aforementioned letter.
    He told me that he was genuinely moved by it.

    In retrospect, I'm really glad I that I finally got to say those things to
    him.

    He had more of an effect on the four of us than he could possibly imagine.

    Some people consider it "un-metal" to be a giving person, but I tell you
    what, that guy right there was one of the most giving people that you could
    ever meet, and he was as Metal as it fuckin' gets.

    To Nathan Bray, the courageous fan who jumped on stage to perform CPR on
    Darrell and died trying to save his life... you are a true hero, and your
    death is no less significant than Dime's, nor were the lives of Erin
    "Stoney" Halk or Jeffrey "Mayhem" Thompson.

    To James Niggemeyer, the policeman that shot and killed that twisted freak
    that had the gall to call himself a "fan", I commend you. You deserve a medal of honor.

    To Blabbermouth.net, and the people that post there, you have all never
    stood taller in my eyes. The wealth of information that has been brought
    forward by the editor, and the class with which it has been presented, is
    truly unprecedented. In addition, the level of respect and empathy shown to
    each other - and especially to the mother of Nathan Bray, who wrote that
    heart-wrenching letter - was sincerely admirable.

    To the politicians who are claiming that this is what Heavy Metal breeds.
    You don't know what the hell you're even talking about.

    And lastly, to the hatemongering son-of-a-bitch named William Grim, from
    conservative website The Iconoclast, who wrote the most disgraceful,
    classless article I've ever read entitled "AESTHETICS OF HATE: R.I.P.
    DIMEBAG ABBOTT, & GOOD RIDDANCE".

    You WILL burn in hell!

    What would YOU know about love or values? What would YOU know about giving
    to the world? All that you know is teaching prejudice, and your heart is as
    black as the "ignorant, filthy, and hideously ugly, Heavy Metal fans" you
    try and paint in your twisted, fictitious ramblings. It's because of people
    like YOU, that there are Nathan Gale's in this world, NOT the Dimebags and
    Metal musicians who work to unite people through music.

    You just don't get it.

    You say, "Americans should aspire to greatness". Well, Dimebag was an
    American that did more than "aspire" to greatness. He was an American that
    "achieved" it. And you will NEVER know what it is to taste greatness
    William Grim. Because in order to achieve greatness, you must first believe
    in the greatness of people, no matter how "ugly" or "fat" or "stupid" they
    are, on the outside... and Dimebag did just that.

    Long live Dimebag Darrell in the hearts of us all.

    -Robert Flynn

    Hm..nja.......da..

    Hier ein paar News:
    MACHINE HEAD progressing on new album - 11.01.2006
    Check out what MH frontman Robert Flynn had to say about the forthcoming MH record.

    "So what does our new shit sound like?" Flynn wrote.

    "Well... it doesn't sound like 'Master of Puppets' [as Flynn was quoted as saying in a Revolver magazine article] all that much... at least yet. I guess I'll try and explain it like this. It's pretty varied, has elements of all the records, and has a semi-'Through the Ashes of Empires'-ish vibe, and definitely NOT a 'Burn My Eyes Pt. II' vibe. It's not 'back to the roots.' We have about four songs that I think are 80% to 90% there musically (not lyrically), and we have another 9 or 10 parts (intros / bridges / verse with a chorus / half songs) floating about that are definitely NOT there. As of now (Jan. 9th, 2006), we have no 'Imperium's or 'Descend the Shades' and our feeling is that if we can't come up with a new 'Imperium' that kicks the old 'Imperium''s ass...well...we're just gonna try something else.

    "Of the four songs I'm really excited about, Dave, Phil, or myself have written the bulk, and Adam has brought in lyrics and a chunk of riffs too. Even though Phil was there for part of the writing process of 'Through the Ashes of Empires' (and co-wrote three songs), Phil being part of the whole writing process is adding another, very cool dimension to it all. In fact, the one song that I'm most excited about was penned largely by Phil, with me adding some melodic three-part guitar harmonies / two-part vocal harmonies in the bridge, plus a SEPULTURA-style thrash / lead part in the middle, Dave's added some Keith Moon-style drumming in the bridge which sounds crazy, but kicks serious ass, and Adam is hitting some ball-squeezing high notes that will have Rob Halford smiling (...about the high notes, not the ball-squeezing *cough*). Since we don't have many titles right now, that one I just mentioned is jokingly called 'In The Presence Of Davidian Jr.' (mainly for its mid tempo). The bridge to this song is on some serious U2-gonna-make-you-cry-worthy-ness.

    "I think most of you will be interested to know that . a lot of the lyrics had taken on a more social nature, and a less personal tone (at least for now). They have also taken on a very depressing nature as well - though I don't know why - it's just what I've been feeling like writing about. The lyrics that I think are really working well are the ones that are the most depressing, including some about suicide, or the idea of suicide.

    "Of the other songs, 'Iron Rush-ian' (as it is called by our manager 'cause it has a MAIDEN / RUSH vibe to it) was the first completed of the four. We like to call it 'Notey Intro / Mega In Chains'. It has a cool up-tempo vibe, a part that reminds me of old MEGADETH a little, big 'The More Things Change.'-era breakdown in the middle, dual leads... it's rockin'... but has no lyrics.

    "There's 'Priest Harbor -aka- Victim Of Changes III', which has an 'Elegy'-ish vibe to it, though longer and more complex, it has a very melodic PRIEST-ish chorus, cool build-ups, and heavy breakdowns, fast parts, leads, harmonies galore, and vox harmonies galore too. Overall it's pretty melodic musically / vocally and I could see RR eyeing this for a single, though at six minutes that'll be a stretch.

    "The fourth song is jokingly called 'The Thrash-terpiece!', and it's what the name implies, fast as all hell, with a full-on 'Blood For Blood' / 'Struck a Nerve' / Bay Area thrash vibe to it. Probably the fastest song we've written in 10 years, and though it doesn't sound like it, is probably the most difficult song (guitar-wise) we've ever attempted to play (down-picking / million-note mania). Cool, very complex bridge / lead section that takes it in a musically melodic direction, with trade-off leads and harmonies. No singing at all, just hard vox. It's the one song that is also the most finished lyrically, and the only song with an actual title. It's called 'Aesthetics of Hate' and it's my take on neo-con and Dimebag critic William Grim, and people like him. Some of you may remember that the song 'Independent' (Max's [Cavalera] and my song from the 'Roadrunner United' album) was very loosely based on the same topic. This is my much more pointed, specific and pissed off take on it.

    "You've probably seen the word 'complex' pop up a buncha times, and it's fitting. It's musically complex, though it doesn't sound it, and that seems like a good thing.

    "The guys have unanimously chosen 'your boy here' to produce the album again, and between 'Through the Ashes of Empires' and my production work on the 'Roadrunner United' album, I feel really confident going into this next record.

    "We took a break for the Roadrunner [anniversary] party / holidays and began jamming the other day for the first time in six weeks... WHEW... YIKES! To quote Lemmy, 'If we practiced next to your house, we would have killed your lawn!' We'll get back into it though, and I feel like the break did us good, gave us perspective."

In fact, the one song that I'm most excited about was penned largely by Phil, with me adding some melodic three-part guitar harmonies / two-part vocal harmonies in the bridge, plus a SEPULTURA-style thrash / lead part in the middle, Dave's added some Keith Moon-style drumming in the bridge which sounds crazy, but kicks serious ass, and Adam is hitting some ball-squeezing high notes that will have Rob Halford smiling (...about the high notes, not the ball-squeezing *cough*). Since we don't have many titles right now, that one I just mentioned is jokingly called 'In The Presence Of Davidian Jr.' (mainly for its mid tempo). The bridge to this song is on some serious U2-gonna-make-you-cry-worthy-ness.

    "I think most of you will be interested to know that . a lot of the lyrics had taken on a more social nature, and a less personal tone (at least for now). They have also taken on a very depressing nature as well - though I don't know why - it's just what I've been feeling like writing about. The lyrics that I think are really working well are the ones that are the most depressing, including some about suicide, or the idea of suicide.

    "Of the other songs, 'Iron Rush-ian' (as it is called by our manager 'cause it has a MAIDEN / RUSH vibe to it) was the first completed of the four. We like to call it 'Notey Intro / Mega In Chains'. It has a cool up-tempo vibe, a part that reminds me of old MEGADETH a little, big 'The More Things Change.'-era breakdown in the middle, dual leads... it's rockin'... but has no lyrics.

    "There's 'Priest Harbor -aka- Victim Of Changes III', which has an 'Elegy'-ish vibe to it, though longer and more complex, it has a very melodic PRIEST-ish chorus, cool build-ups, and heavy breakdowns, fast parts, leads, harmonies galore, and vox harmonies galore too. Overall it's pretty melodic musically / vocally and I could see RR eyeing this for a single, though at six minutes that'll be a stretch.

    "The fourth song is jokingly called 'The Thrash-terpiece!', and it's what the name implies, fast as all hell, with a full-on 'Blood For Blood' / 'Struck a Nerve' / Bay Area thrash vibe to it. Probably the fastest song we've written in 10 years, and though it doesn't sound like it, is probably the most difficult song (guitar-wise) we've ever attempted to play (down-picking / million-note mania). Cool, very complex bridge / lead section that takes it in a musically melodic direction, with trade-off leads and harmonies. No singing at all, just hard vox. It's the one song that is also the most finished lyrically, and the only song with an actual title. It's called 'Aesthetics of Hate' and it's my take on neo-con and Dimebag critic William Grim, and people like him. Some of you may remember that the song 'Independent' (Max's [Cavalera] and my song from the 'Roadrunner United' album) was very loosely based on the same topic. This is my much more pointed, specific and pissed off take on it.

    "You've probably seen the word 'complex' pop up a buncha times, and it's fitting. It's musically complex, though it doesn't sound it, and that seems like a good thing.

    "The guys have unanimously chosen 'your boy here' to produce the album again, and between 'Through the Ashes of Empires' and my production work on the 'Roadrunner United' album, I feel really confident going into this next record.

    "We took a break for the Roadrunner [anniversary] party / holidays and began jamming the other day for the first time in six weeks... WHEW... YIKES! To quote Lemmy, 'If we practiced next to your house, we would have killed your lawn!' We'll get back into it though, and I feel like the break did us good, gave us perspective."
