This is was on 1989?! Drop-C tunning? wooooww!This is fucking heavy! Heavier than many other bands at the time... Helmet was totally a avant-garde band, with a unique sound. That's why i'm a long-time fan...
To beg my every word Never wears thin Joking come back and honest Said you'd be honest Bow! Bow to me Bow! Bow to me The best is unexposed Take it to me The price is on it's own Is too revealing Bow! Bow to me Bow! Bow to me It takes you It bonds you It wants you To burn me
Though it was their mainstream hits that got me into them in the first place like Unsung and Meantime. Those tracks are still killer awesome but I love these rare tracks they produced too.
😂😂 i have the test pressing this is on & love this tune. Page sounds like he's had ludes or something in the verse parts but adds to the menacing nature of it 🤘
Yeah, i see the influence. Still, Helmet managed to make this kind of stuff its own. I love the melvins, but helmet were the tightest and grooviest of all bands using drop tunings in the late 80s/early 90s, especially with the original rhythm section.
This era Helmet into Meantime you won't find a more effortlessly cool, heavy, tight band. Destroyed hair metal. Made them shit their pants and change their sound in most cases - Anthrax case in point. Unfortunately spawned nu metal, but undoubtedly one of the most influential hard rock / metal bands ever
I'd agree that Helmet may have effected Anthrax. But I'd say Metallica's '91 Black Album and Pantera's '90 Cowboys and '92 Vulgar had more of the impact that brought the big change in Anthrax's '93 Sound of White Noise. Not to mention the big push by the record labels for hard rock and metal bands to bring grunge aspects into their sound had to have some impact as well. Again, not to discount Helmet and their influence. They were the most original (non-gimmick) metal band of that time and Meantime is hands down the best Industrial metal album of all time.
@@westwardthinking6403 As far as the Helmet albums go, Strap It On was good, but the recording was rather harsh and causes instant listening fatigue. I wish they would have re-recorded it at some point. Obviously Meantime is a masterpiece. Betty, Aftertaste and Size Matters were great albums. But Monochrome, Seeing Eye Dog and Dead To The World each had a few good songs, but I don’t desire to listen through the entire alums ever again. Mr. Hamilton has the right to do whatever makes him happy and make the music that pleases him. But there is a cost to changing the sound, vocal style and band members, That is a loss of fans and album sales. I’ll check out anything Helmet releases, but I won’t be buying the album till I have heard it all the way through now. Helmet (Hamilton) is like the metal version of Weezer (Cuomo) in my opinion. If you’re looking for good hard n heavy 90s stuff, I am sure you are very familiar with Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Pantera, Black Label Society, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Guns n Roses, AC/DC, Van Halen, White Stripes, Jane’s Addiction, Motley Crue, Ozzy Ozbourne, Skid Row, The Cult, The Offspring, Godsmack, Dream Theater, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Weezer, Primus, Rage Against the Machine and you already mentioned STP. If you missed any of those bands or gave up after only an album or two, explore their full careers. Others that are by no means obscure, but just not as popular from the 90s and worth checking out would include, Pride & Glory, Prong, D.R.I., Rollins Band, Infectious Grooves, Suicidal Tendencies, Faith No More , Mad Season, Armored Saint, Corrosion of Conformity, King’s X, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, PUSA, Gov’t Mule, Fu Manchu and Melvins. Happy hunting my friend.
Yeah, Sabbath, Zepplin, and also Killing Joke were huge influences 2 on HELMET. Thats why I think their music is so great and a departure from your run of the mill heavy metal.
@1977Premier Ya, they should release an album that has this song along with disagreeable, Complete, Lord Of This World, Army Of Me, Symptom Of The Universe and the ones you mentioned as well.
I asked Peter… Drop D tuning! I think THIS recording is slowed down, listen to the vocals. There is a recent video on TH-cam of an old live show, they play this live. Definitely Drop D. Such a sick song!
Brae Scanlon sounds too low to be Drop D, at least for my ears. I reached out to Peter Menegede and he did say just Drop D, they never played with any lower tunings back then!

Drop B.
I know this is an 11 year old comment, but helmet is avant garde...wtf? what a silly thing to say.
@@aubreylear Death metal bands were down tuning way before this. Cool song though.
Swedish death metal was down tuning at the time so I wouldn't say this is avant-garde. Good little ditty though. Me likes.
@@christopherstevens9260 yeah I know. maybe you meant to reply to the other guy. detuning strings doesn't = avant garde anyway.
'Helmet inspire me to pick up my bass; sing,and play the drums 🥁 and lead 🎸guitar simultaneously; what legends!'
This is the birth of the Helmet sound...right here!!
To beg my every word
Never wears thin
Joking come back and honest
Said you'd be honest
Bow!
Bow to me
Bow!
Bow to me
The best is unexposed
Take it to me
The price is on it's own
Is too revealing
Bow!
Bow to me
Bow!
Bow to me
It takes you
It bonds you
It wants you
To burn me
Wow, not heard this one before. Should have been on Strap It On, it's got that sound
Helmet + Unsane + Handsome = Best Tour Ever!
These guys never cease to entertain and influence me! I gotta say there best tracks are the lesser known ones I swear sometimes.
This song is awesome... I'm always discovering great music I never heard before that's from the 90's.
The riff at the beginning sounds like "High Visibility".
the bassline you mean
Good ear!
Yeah it does!
An inverted version of it, but totally!
Sound and Sight is different.
I love helmet been listening to them since high school
Though it was their mainstream hits that got me into them in the first place like Unsung and Meantime. Those tracks are still killer awesome but I love these rare tracks they produced too.
😂😂 i have the test pressing this is on & love this tune. Page sounds like he's had ludes or something in the verse parts but adds to the menacing nature of it 🤘
Would pay a huge sum of money for a rip of that!
Such a killer track. Thank you so much for posting it
Helmet was inspired by the Melvins who were do some pretty heavy shit themselves for the time in the mid 80's to today!
Ah The Melvins. That is some good stuff!
Try out Steel Pole Bath Tub as well if you get the chance.
Yeah, i see the influence. Still, Helmet managed to make this kind of stuff its own. I love the melvins, but helmet were the tightest and grooviest of all bands using drop tunings in the late 80s/early 90s, especially with the original rhythm section.
Isso é muito bom!! Karaka que tempo bom!
You just can't top old school HELMET!

I appreciate you so much for this 👌

Chilling with Coke is awsome
Yes. Check The Official Helmet Forum."Turned Out and Rock Messiah, both from 1989 Steve albini demos). Regards from Chile, SouthAmerica.

Grandiosi!!
Albini involved, sound doesnt suprise me at all. This sounds like transition from Born Annoying to Meantime. Like to know if this is really around 89.
It was on 1989 (Albini Demos).
Awesome
I wouldn't mind owning this 7 inch.
Helmet's current line up rocks too. Page,Kyle,Dave and Dan
F@ck yes!!!!
Page is the Rock Messiah of the 90's....imitators, BOW!!!!
Helmet rulezzz
wow
never heard this one
This sounds like high visibility or the precursor to it.
godflesh?
i changed it to '91
How do I get the sludge off?
This is actualy an anti-songwriter song. It's ironic and is mocking the Rock Messiah way of life.
Hail the grunge spirit :)
Says Page?
One person must have clicked the wrong button.
head of david?
Which album was this from?
One that never existed.
Tuned to Drop B?
Paul Wolfe Drop D
Brae Scanlon sounds too low to be Drop D, at least for my ears. I reached out to Peter Menegede and he did say just Drop D, they never played with any lower tunings back then!
It’s drop C. Peter was gone by this time. This is from the Meantime demos
This wasn't '89, it was '91 or '92.
why rob in the pic? this is peter mengede era.
historically inaccurate....it should have Peter Mengede.
@@volscho as i said.
Nope. Not true. This track is from the Meantime demos
This songs starts to get lame after the 3:30 mark.
