MACHINE HEAD DROPS OFF DETHKLOK TOUR FOR A BUNCH OF DATES DUE TO ROBB FLYNN ‘s ILLNESS

FUCK….FUCK…FUCK! I REALLY wanted to see Machine Head again, but according to the band’s official site, MH Frontman Robb Flynn has to get surgery to help put himself back together and as such the whole band has to drop off for 9 dates.  According to a press release Flynn had THIS to say about his injury:

“”I’ve been toughing out an inguinal hernia below my waistline since June of last year, and a few months ago got a second hernia in my nuts. What basically happens is my guts drop into my nuts, and it looks like I have a third testicle (man, I can hear the jokes already!) It hasn’t been that painful, and I’ve gone to the doctor a few times to take care of it, but he said after surgery I probably couldn’t sing for a few weeks, and since that wasn’t going to happen, I scheduled it for January when I had a break. Unfortunately, after the last few shows, my guts have been very swollen and hard to push back in. Yesterday, the pain was excruciating and I went to the emergency room last night. They said that I need surgery. 

“I will be doing my damnedest to rejoin the tour in a couple weeks. 

“Thanks to all the fans, bands, and crew for understanding. I’m determined to see you all soon and finish what has been a great freakin’ tour!”

Poor guy. When The Blackening came out I don’t think there was a band on the planet that played more shows than Machine Head and I’m sure that was probably a contributor at some point. That said, I really hope the band comes back before the Dec. 14th scheduled show in NYC because I seriously have zero interest in sitting through All That Remains. Click here for the rest of the dates and be sure to pick up the latest live album from the band cause its fucking great, and its called  “Machine Fucking Head Live”.
