Machine Head front man Robb Flynn posted a video blog version of his “General Journal’s Blog” covering the travails the band has endured on tour in South America. The band had three flights cancelled on them as they tried to make a tour stop in Montevideo, hoping to not jeopardize a date in Brazil.
THE ROAD TO URUGUAY
Hey y’all
As you may have noticed, It’s been a while since I sent out a General Journal. Not to worry, I’ll be at it once again soon enough, but, the reason is, I’ve doing a “video” version of the General Journals, and I’ve really begun to dig it as an art form. It’s such an interesting way to tell a story, and seeing how it’s “through my eyes” so to speak, it’s like a expanded version of The General Journals.
It’s really gotten me excited, I love it, and our fans seem to REALLY love it.
They aren’t necessarily the stream-of-consciousness rants I’ve done here, or are they the-what-George-Carlin-called “Brain Droppings” that I am loved/hated for, in fact, these are primarily based around our tour life, and random stories, moments, observations while traveling the world. You may find them great, or boring, or everything in between, but if you liked my General Journals, I gotta hunch this is something you guys will dig, and it’s a really cool way to connect. And to me so much of what this is as a release for me, is about connecting.
As always, feel free to let me know what you like and don’t like, or what you’d like to see more of.
For now we’ve been putting them up on our Facebook, and on our YouTube page, I hadn’t even really thought to send ‘em out on here because I figured most people would see it elsewhere. However, it has been mentioned to enough times that people have bailed on Facebook (or like me, never got on) and don’t frequent our YT page very much (if ever). Whatever the reason, I’m going to start sending them out through here, and when I get inspired enough, I will send out more of my “really long journals”, LOL!
The past videos are up on our YouTube page, and they are lower down the page in the “uploads” section.
Also, go ahead and follow me on Instagram, where I post a lot and often write lengthy bits and bobs about the photos I’ve taken. I’m at https://www.Instagram.com/RobbFlynn, or just @robbflynn
Here is the latest video I made, it’s called “The Road To Uruguay” and I’ve included the text from the FB post.
