Machine Head have revealed their special relationship with Scotland's rock audiences.

Speaking to stv's John Kilbride shortly before they played Glasgow's SECC, Drummer Dave McClain said: "Probably  some of the best shows we have ever done have been in Scotland...the crowds here are just crazy, some of the craziest crowds we have ever played to."

Robb Flynn added: "The Glasgow audience is different from everywhere else, the circle pits at a Machine Head show are the stuff of legend. We actually have a section on our DVD, a 30 second clip dedicated to the Glasgow circle pit because they're just so nuts."

Robb and Dave also spoke about their tour with Slipknot and their busy schedule for 2009, which sees them supporting Metallica, and includes a long-awaited show in Glasgow.

They also spoke about the special edition of their album The Blackening which has recently been released, and how it looks unlikely they'll be able to record a follow-up in the immediate future on account of their plans.

The interview was done before guitarist Phil Demmel took unwell and the band were forced to cancel their remaining dates on the Slipknot tour.
