No, he doesn’t. But wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear a musician badmouth their own upcoming product? Of course, Robb Flynn is “really proud of what we [Machine Head] were able to accomplish on the record [Unto The Locust].”
That’s really boring now, isn’t it? So let’s pretend we’re in bizarro world and everything’s different to what it’s like in this world. Here is what Robb Flynn recently really said in an interview with Knac.com:
“I was thinking, “You know, I’ve been singing fifteen years now. I’m not going to start taking lessons now. Who do I look like? James Hetfield?” I have never taken lessons before and I never warm-up either. I basically hurt my voice on purpose. You’ve got to destroy your voice if you want to be metal. Also, I’d never even think about taking classical guitar lessons. I’m Robb fucking Flynn. My playing is already perfect. That would usually show on the record but it doesn’t. I just drank fifteen bottles of whiskey daily and that definitely shows on the record. Don’t buy Unto The Locust when it drops. I’m really ashamed of what we’ve done on the record.”
Obviously in this world, Flynn didn’t say that. You can either go and read the real interview or stay with me in bizarro world. It’s up to you.
