Thanks for the interview Frank!🤘🏻🙏🏻

What an awesome interview! The best thing about Robb is that he always speaks from the heart and he always has relevant, fun and fascinating things to say. The interview Frank did with Robb for his podcast was intense and meaningful, and this one is a great sequel to it. BTW Machine Head's new album is outstanding. 🤘
-
Absolutely brilliant interview! Love the new album, its incredible:)! And what a nice touch to talk about Trevor again, I am still in shock over it, what a legend, RIP Trevor.

I've heard Robb tell this story about his experience the night MH got signed. Something about this interview in particular that really made this a more emotional story than usual. Maybe because there's a few more tidbits in there that I hadn't heard before. But either way, it really explains why Robb has changed as a person and a songwriter. Especially if his wife's father was dealing with the same drugs. That's gotta be traumatizing. The fact that he went to his friend's funeral and realized that could've been him....man, I can't imagine being in that position. So glad that he moved on from that life and became the legend he is today!

Machine Head is my favorite live band, I've seen them twice and I'm going downtown in November to the High Noon Saloon to see these monsters again!!

I would like to take a minute to applaud (Frank) the interviewer! Too often, an interviewer allows his ego take over by cutting in, cutting across and not allowing the interviewee a word in edgeways. Also the new Machine fuckin' Head album (bar all the silly lyrics) is top notch!
-
Man this was a killer chat! Got my ticket to see them in November, really stoked 🤘
-
Great interview! It was like a good book that you couldn’t put down. They absolutely killed it on this album from start to finish! Can’t wait to see them live! MFH

Great interview! Thank you. Im grateful for that Robb is still with us and creating excellent music! The story with Jaymz is so amazing. I got goosebumps! Love Machine Head and Metallica! I saw MH live in Stockholm on the 24th sep. I was in the front at the show and it was amazing 🤘 The new album is awesome!!! Cheers and beers Up from Sweden 🇸🇪 🍻 🤘

Scrolling on YouTube on a Friday night, one day before Christmas Eve.... found this podcast and thought "let's listen for a bit" and ended up listening to the whole thing. Machine Head was my favorite band since forever, I remember having the Burn My Eyes CD just before The More Things Change came out, as a teenager in high school. I was buying every magazine that had a Machine Head interview in it. Always so curious about Robb and the guy's lives. Machine Head is just real, that's why I always loved it so much and I can still listen to the whole interview 25 years later - interview that took me some tears of emotion. I raise my glass to another 30 years of Machine Head, it's music is like wine, aging better and better.

I just want to say this was a fucking GREAT podcast. Frank, you held it down really well and Robb's story is fascinating.I had heard the story of how MH started but I don't think I've ever heard it from Robb like this before. I also got the hugest lump in my throat when Robb was talking about his father and how much he loved him. Thanks for this insight and amazing talk.
