about

My Ruin recorded our cover of "War Machine" by KISS" live in the studio for Ian Camfield's XFM rock show radio session while on the 2nd leg of our 'Horror of Beauty' U.K. Tour in May of 2004.

The first rock album I bought was "Destroyer" by KISS. My first rock concert was KISS at the Los Angeles Forum in 1978. I was 13 and a huge fan of the band. I still am a fan of those early albums.

Mick grew up loving KISS as much as me. We decided to cover this song because it felt so f**king mean and perfectly suited for my voice & scream.

lyrics

WAR MACHINE
---------------------

Wanna bite the hand that feeds me
Wanna turn the tides
Set the demons free and watch 'em fly

Strike down the one who leads me
I'm gonna take his place
Gonna vindicate the human race
Better watch out 'cause I'm a War Machine
Better watch out 'cause I'm a War Machine

Take the reins of power and seize them
Draw the battle lines
Armageddon's just a matter of time
Tear down the voice of reason
Let the arrows fly
Your freedom's just a state of mind, yeah

Better watch out 'cause I'm a War Machine
You better watch out 'cause I'm a War Machine

Yeah Baby.....
C'mon Baby
I dig Baby
Yeah you Baby....

Cause I'm a War Machine
Better watch out 'cause I'm a War Machine
You better watch out 'cause I'm a War Machine
I said you better watch out 'cause I'm a War Machine

And this is My War baby
This is your War baby
So you better, Yeah you better watch out

You better watch out.....Baby
