Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn recently did an acoustic cover of Black Sabbath's "Die Young" -- it's a tribute to Debbie Abono, a manager of metal bands such as Sepultura, Skinlab, Cynic, Obituary throughout the 80s and 90s. She died in May of cancer at age 80. Stream below.

During Machine Head's tour in Austria this past week, a fan in the audience at Vienna's Gasometer held up a sign asking the band to play guitar on "Aesthetics of Hate". The band responded by inviting the fan on stage to prove his guitar skills. Video footage can be seen below.
