MACHINE HEAD Forced To Miss Nine Dates On DETHKLOK Tour Due To ROBB FLYNN's Health - Nov. 13, 2012 San Francisco Bay Area metallers MACHINE HEAD are being forced to exit their current North American tour with DETHKLOK, ALL THAT REMAINS and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER so that the band's frontman, Robb Flynn, can undergo emergency surgery.
Flynn had planned to go under the knife in January 2013 after completing the tour as he has been playing through the pain of a double inguinal hernia since the trek started in October. He had hoped to continue the tour despite extreme discomfort, but it's become too difficult to carry on.
Flynn will undergo surgery on Wednesday, November 14 in Minneapolis before returning home to California to recover, rest and recuperate. The band will rejoin the tour in Portland, Oregon on November 24.
MACHINE HEAD extends its regrets to fans, the other bands, and the other crews for having to leave the tour prematurely.
Commented Flynn: ""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!"
MACHINE HEAD has just released a new live album, "Machine Fucking Head Live", via Roadrunner Records. It's the band's second live effort; "Hellalive" was released in 2003.
"Machine Fucking Head Live" was recorded at various tour stops across the globe last year. It features songs from throughout the band's expansive catalog, including crowd favorites like "Imperium", "Aesthetics of Hate", "Locust", "Ten Ton Hammer", "This is the End" and "Halo".
"NORTH AMERICANS can we have your attention please!
We're really sorry to say that we have to cancel our North American tour with Scar Symmetry.
Here's the press release from Scar Symmetry:
"It is with deep regret that we bring you these news: due to unforeseen problems securing our US work visas in time, our North American headlining tour will have to be cancelled. The waiting time for a visa interview appointment was several weeks longer than what we've experienced before. Our sincere apologies to Threat Signal, Stealing Axion, Lord of War and Kings Field - you guys rule and we do hope for the opportunity to share a stage with you sometime in a not-to-distant future instead!
To our fans... we will work our asses off to make this up to you! Expect to see Scar Symmetry back in North America in 2013 - back with a vengeance!"
So that girl from the Unearth show Mariah has been texting me all day, she's pretty cool and all, but she is giving off this obsessive/clingy stalker vibe, like i have never known a girl that has latched on to anyone like this, and she lives a good 45 minutes away, and is saying that she wants her boyfriend (yeah, I've known her for less than 48 hours and she's calling me her bf) to come over and cuddle, idk she's good looking and pretty cool, likes the same music i do, but this is getting a little to weird, to quickly.

take a minute to think of the signals you might have sent her. it might not be all her fault that she thinks she can call you that. I'm not criticizing you or acting like I know the situation, just trying to add a female's POV. There is a good chance she's just a clingy psycho.
This is literally how we met...
I was on the rail during The Contortionist, my friends Taylor and Trey next to me, and i feel something touch my back, i ignore it and continue watching TC, and i feel it again, so after i keep looking back, finally after TC finish i turn around, and Taylor introduces me to Mariah and her sister, and she admits she was the one messing with me, so we talk until Unearth start, and she kept grabbing and slapping my butt during BoO (when the crowd wasn't going apeshit), and like wrapping her arms around me, i just figured it was innocent flirting and thought nothing of it, but then in-between Unearth and BoO she was grabbing my hand and saying that i should be her bf, and when the show was over and it was time to leave, she kept saying to stay until she leaves and called me "baby" and "bf" and such.
I'm weird about dating sometimes, i don't even consider a girl my "girlfriend" until after a little while, and I don't call her "baby" and such that soon either, I'm just not into the whole mushy/clingy thing, idk, but she's being pretty obsessive.
