Machine Head's Rush and Lady Gaga Connections

08/03/2011
. (RockAAA) Machine Head drummer Dave McClain says their new album has come together with a little bit of help from veterans Rush and Lady Gaga's vocal coach.

Speaking to Sami Jarroush of the Rock It Out Blog, McClain also it was singer Rob Flynn's exhausting schedule which forced the band to pull out of a recent New York show. McClain recalled the metallers reasons for having to cancel a scheduled performance appearance at the Mayhem Festival concert at Darien Lake Performing Arts Centre in Darien Centre on July 26.

"Robb (Flynn, guitar/vocals) got sick. He's been flying back on every off day back to Oakland and mixing the (new Machine Head) record ('Unto The Locust'). The record's done this week, but he's flying back and he's wearing himself down," He said. "And so he just got to the point where he just got sick and decided to sit it out and get better. And then he's flying out again tomorrow, 'cause the record is done this week, so he's gotta fly back out. So he's really running himself ragged, but he's killing it."
