We spoke to Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn about their decision to cover the "Vulgar Display Of Power" classic, "----ing Hostile."
"It was either that or 'Strength Beyond Strength' from '�Far Beyond Driven,'" said Flynn. "In the end, we decided that we wanted to do a classic. We chose '----ing Hostile' because it's two and a half minutes of pure, raging metal. It's short, fast and brutal.�
"There's some real intricate riffing parts in there," continues Flynn. "We'd jammed it before but we'd never sat down and analyzed it properly. I think we did a great job on it."
