If you listen to 10 seconds of any Machine Head song, then you can tell right off the bat that frontman Robb Flynn is a massive Pantera fan. The band's scorching 1994 debut, Burn My Eyes, is one of the first incredible albums to pick up what the Texas trailblazers were putting down on Vulgar Display of Power and run with it in a fresh new direction. That said, you may not have expected that Flynn's favorite Pantera song is the tortured power ballad, "This Love." See why he loves it so much below.
"I first heard this song about the time it came out," Flynn says, "which was a time in my when I had just broken up with my girlfriend of three years and I completely related to the lyrics. 'No more head trips ...'? Man, I connected! The lyrics were very powerful. Not to mention the riff in the middle of the song. Jesus! One of the heaviest riffs ever. In fact, this song has about three of my favorite riffs of all time."
