The big review: Wacken Open Air 2025
The Mud! The Sweat! The Beers! Papa Roach, Machine Head, Gojira and Guns N’ Roses lead the charge at a wet and wild edition of Europe’s biggest heavy metal party...
It's not a hugely dramatic collision by any means, but it could've been way worse.
Machine Head had a bus crash on Saturday, Metalsucks.net reports. Check out the footage of the accident - which could've been way worse without their bus driver Bryon's quick thinking - right here:
SCARY BUS ACCIDENT THE OTHER NIGHT. Everyone safe. It’s hard to tell from the footage, but sometime around 4AM, while driving away from our sold-out show in Albuquerque, our bus driver Bryon safely avoided what could have been a very serious accident. Driver-cam footage below doesn’t clearly show that this was a blind hill and blind turn we were coming up around as a truck (that had missed it’s turn off) pulled out into the (left) oncoming traffic lane of the highway to make an almost impossible exit to the right. Skidding into the truck with a full bus and trailer, it smashed our mirror off, shattered Byron’s window, and scared the hell out of everyone sleeping, but thanks to his excellent driving, no one was hurt. Shout out to our driver Bryon!!
