I'm not even a drummer, but these drumming part has been stuck in my head since 1994

[chrismyers]

Letting the audience sing… that was special to hear!

The ultimate rush, as a band, to hear an audience over your equipment!!!

[duke_pukem]

It just hits different with Kontos on drums 😦 🔥🤘🏼

[joeyrodriguez]

[Ferklaus]

[michaelotte]

Got goosebumps watching this. He still got balls

[letloverule]

Living legend. Some of the tastiest, grooviest chops in metal music ever.

[patrickr]

Chris Kontos got countless fantastic peaces delivered, or should i say this guy is a livin legend.

[HonkeyKongLive]

I had no idea the main verse was doing a disco beat on the hat. That's so fucking cool. This is, no joke, my absolute favorite drum performance on any metal song. It's what made me fall in love with the drums as an instrument back in 94. And this is the fucking DEFINITIVE performance.

[ЦрниМилан]

Chris is the man! The heart of Machine Head.

[enthrallingusername]

That little inverted bell splash cymbal in the outro though 😍 👌🏻

[selamitezcan]

Burn my eyes album is the Everest of Heavy Metal drumming

[jessewalters]

Boys are playing so good Vinnie and Dime gotta be smiling down ... way to keep groove metal alive

[EddieNilsson]

[inspektorsx]

This guy is an superb drummer. He really knows how to spankbang those drums! 🤘🏻🔥

[dylanjull]

May be one of the most underrated drummers of all time. Chris you have the skills to pay the bills🤘

[tims]

The best machine head drummer. This guy is very massive...

[TheJayMadd]

That intro fill... holy crap, Chris! You hit those drums \m/

[josephhiggs]

Chris I will say this with 100% truth from the heart. I'm 42. Born in 1981. I discovered Machine Head in 97 with The More Things Change. Which you weren't on unfortunately. Then I listened to the debut, Burn My Eyes. It's an all time favorite album of mine. And still to this day, in my opinion, is the best Machine Head album ever written. How many albums and line-up changes have happened since?! The first album is still the best. What you guys did on that record is awesome! Its originality and roughness, and perfect execution is flawless. You're a legend in my eyes always, the best drummer Machine Head had. Much love Chris!

[astroknott]

I will never take away from Dave McClain cause he himself is a phenomenal drummer but MH never hit quite as hard as they did with Kontos' drumming on this album. Just an absolute masterclass
