Totally agree. Stanier is a fucking MONSTER. Love that guy. Saw Helmet 4 times pre '98 before the "hiatus". He only plays the notes absolutely needed, no fat, which always blew our minds when we saw him because he would totally stomp any of those songs into the ground, and still with so much space in his playing. Saw him a few times with Battles, too. Totally different flavor, but Stanier still kills it, and I do love me some Battles. Not sure if they are still together, but they have 3 very original records out. Helmet was truly original and ahead of their time. Hum was incredible, too. Bryan St. Pere shared several similarities with Stanier, aside from that of their kits. St. Pere plays with roughly 20 or 30 more cymbals than Stanier lol, but puts them all to good use. St Pere is another monster, just like Stanier. Look up "Hum- I'd like your hair long" live, recorded in '95. The volume in that studio that day must have been ear-splitting, and for good reason,for those guys were just crushing it. Good stuff. Give it a listen.
its a shame he hates Page for whatever reason, cause his drumming is the biggest thing they are missing in this day. I remember reading when he brought Helmet back, he tried to get Bogdan and Stanier back, and they basically told him to sod off.
Now what genre would Helmet be? I mean personally i think their sound is totally different from any other bands genre(s). Wondering what other people think
Agreed, and he continues on in his understated way to be one of my favorite active drummers with Battles, a band which sadly looks like it has run its course. Great stuff, though. Battles is/was a truly original band. I was lucky to see them live twice and was blown away both times, just like every time I saw Helmet in the 90's. Saw them last in 2005 with the new lineup, but it wasn't the same........
It's almost 2023 I'm fucking around on TH-cam and I'm grooving to this like it's 94. One of my favorites. I popped another bottle of wine to dive down this fucking awesome hole.
These guys were innovators. When everyone else was wearing thrift shop sweaters and long hair back in the early 90's, Helmet brought it with crew cuts and t-shirts. There was no one like them back then. This music makes me want to INVADE SOMETHING!
@Ryo-lence yeah, NY hardcore has been doing the no frills, plain anti-advertising thing for awhile already. Though a lot of that scene was also into trying to emulate that whole super macho Henry Rollins look too while Helmet just looked like some fresh faced, preppie-ish college dudes right out of the dorms. Lol, and not many NYC hardcore bands would've been caught dead with a hot pink guitar and day glo green strap like Page uses at times here
Helmet is some of the best music to just turn up as loud as possible.... I remember blasting this shit in high school and I messed up my parent expensive stereo lolol
Man, the drummer is SO uniquely styled, tight, and vibrant. Great enthusiasm to boot. Their mosh pits were pretty relentless. Check the ejection at 16 minutes.
Their most pits are amazing...buddy of mine cracked a rib in there...I definitely woke up worse for the wear that day too..but we're going back, in about a month, Helmet is coming to my home town...we're going to see them for the fourth time live...they never disappoint...
@@flyingbisquick3798 change of Pantera's sound and style between "cowboys from hell" and "far beyond driven" wouldn't have happened if not for Pantera's and Helmet's tour together around that time, from what i know
I was there, and if you want to make fun of me while I was 16 years old, the guy jumping on the crowd at 19.15... yes... he was me :-P Great concert, Sonoria was awesome!

What I love about this performance is not only did Helmet have a legit claim for "Best Heavy Band in the World" at the time but they know and embrace it which just further fuels the passion.
I love Stainers Cheshire Cat smile as he pounds the living christ out of those fucking drums!!!! Awesome band!! To bad the original line up can't get back together!!!!
Nice. I just bought all their albums on cassette tape when I was in High School in Australia lol. One of the many bands I absolutely loved when I was growing up. Never saw them live though. I still have my 'Betty' cassette tape cover inlay lol. This band was very influential for a lot of bands.
I wish I was listening to Helmet back then. I was too busy listening to Superunknown by Soundgarden in the summer of '94 on repeat. I didn't get into Helmet until almost 10 years later.
You know it's so funny, I was just thinking this afternoon how I was so into helmet nonstop that I missed out on Soundgarden. I'm still massive helmet fan and even went to jazz school because of Page, but I've gotten very into Soundgarden now too. Fortunately got to see them on one of their last tours.
+Jay I am not sure what it is like now, but I remember that every mosh pit had a few assholes who were clearly there just to hurt people. I was the one who tried to clear those guys out. I am sure my actions also did not help the situation.
+Matt Price (Mnstorm99) Oh yeah granted back in these days there would have been the odd asshole out to beat on people but what I meant was purely people getting beaten up e.g. hardcore dancing at Hardcore/Powerviolence shows.
+Matt Price (Mnstorm99) I am a Black American Women and most Black American' s don't listen to this kind of music . I still am a huge Helmet fan .I have been to 2 of their concert in my 47 years old life and loved it Helmet will have a new album out some time this year. You can go on Helmet's website to get the information on it. I love the current members of Helmet. Kyle Stevenson, Dave Case, Dan Beeman and of course the best guitarist to me Page Hamilton the founder of Helmet. I love Your taste in music because you love Helmet too.
I remember when I first heard Helmet I loved it and it so different than anything else at that time. This will be hard to believe today but the way they looked was like a shocker. Any hard or heavy music back then every band and member would have long hair and wear all black. So these clean cut guys that kinda looked alternative or sometimes preppy with their clothes it was very different and odd for the time . Idc what anyone says I can't stand the bands that people today throw into the groove metal genre...they are so wrong. This is the birth of groove metal right here it's where the rhythm and the beat was not only for the base and drums ,the guitar did it as well! Not complicated chords or riffs just awesome heavy repetitive licks. I loved it! I actually always was hoping for a band like this because I always loved the simple repetitive heavy riffs that other metal bands would briefly use in their music. helmet and White zombie and tool blew my mind at that time...oh and also Ministry and Nirvana but I loved it. These bands that broke the norm of heavy music back then in their sound and appearance. I couldn't get enough of it. I still love that sound but it's hard to find now because guitarist are going back to like a different version of the 80s where it can't be simple everything needs to be music theory and complicated and huge solos i mean that's pretty cool but I'll take rhythmic metal guitar riffs over anything. I went to the coolest concert back then and the line up was very different for back then but I loved it. First band was Helmet the next band was Sepultura and the last band was Ministry! Coolest line up ever! All the fans were different and didn't like the other bands. Back then Helmet was viewed as Alt Metal Sepultura was still looked at as a death metal or hardcore band(by the way that's the right way to look at it) and Ministry was still looked at as just industrial but this was during their transition into electronic metal or industrial metal. Amazing concert!! I was probably the only one there that loved all 3 bands. Sorry for being so long I apologize
Bom d+!! Essa banda é de outro mundo. Uma das melhores do mundo! Amo esses caras! Bem que eles poderiam vir no Rio de Janeiro assim que puder, já que ele nunca vieram. 🌊⚽🎭
How is anybody aknowledge the fact that this guys got that staccato sound and rythim that make Djent to addictive in the first place too early? Bands like Helmet and Quicksand were Djent without the "Djent" 😗. Jokes aside, what a time to be alive! The music was raw and good sounding in a way that nowadays kinda dissapear.
I don't get how this crowd ain't going atomic w Milquetoast. Helmet always sounds great live, Stainer is a beast on the drums. Always loved that snare sound.. 🤘😣👍🏽
I saw them in 2015 I think at a small music hall in Durham, NC. They absolutely killed it! There was a snowstorm in the area that night,and I'm so glad they didn't cancel.
They played unannounced at Warped in 04 (05?) the last year they played at Fitchburg Mass. There were maybe 15 or 20 of us that recognized Page setting up ( teching? we didnt know) and hung around. Evanescence was playing another stage, Helmet just came out and started just playing, holy shit we were crushed in seconds!!!
I saw them on this tour, at the Palace in Hollywood in Dec 1994. It was fucking assault on the ears....wow...like a 100 foot tidal wave of dense noise that just keeps coming at you ... just a great fucking show. Page got pulled into the audience during the second song of the encore and there was a huge melee. When he reappeared on stage about 10 min later, he says: "Thanks...we're outta here!!!"
This was a interesting time for drummers got some unique guys like Strainer and my fellow lefty Fyfe Ewing (Therapy?) got to see Helmet Therapy?,Surgery at Roseland(NYC) all together def one of my fav shows I saw
Each of their songs is like a shot of whiskey, no chaser. After ten songs I always feel like I've done ten straight shots and need to watch the news or Kelly Ripa or something in order to puke and start again.
We will never hear music like this again; So raw and oblique, so precise yet we don't quite what it means. It panders to no one and it's still great.Now what have we got, crap I mean rap "music." In your face all the time whether you like or not. Well at least we got TH-cam.
not to mention Page Hamilton, a great guitarist...studied classic and jazz guitar. Saw him on a Helmet concert warming up...are you kidding me?? brilliant!!!!!!!!!!
I remember reading in the early nineties that Helmet sounded like "an engine running without motor oil"...i still think this analogy is dead on. This quote enticed me into discovering the band that tamed the noise--a symphony of pure noise. So when i need a shot in the arm, i always think of helmet. I've seen them once live for the "Meantime" tour. I screamed the lyrics for "turned out", and the band laughed and played it. May helmet live and prosper for many years to come.
rember watching this on tv. Very lucky all those in the crowd of one memorable Italian rock metal festival. SONORIA. Videomusic was still a hot pretty openminded independent music channel and Italy never got anything like that ever since. Love HELMET 🤘
John Stanier is one of the best, if not the best, drummer of this genre. He's so tight, groovy and fast.
Definitely.
Totally agree. Stanier is a fucking MONSTER. Love that guy. Saw Helmet 4 times pre '98 before the "hiatus". He only plays the notes absolutely needed, no fat, which always blew our minds when we saw him because he would totally stomp any of those songs into the ground, and still with so much space in his playing. Saw him a few times with Battles, too. Totally different flavor, but Stanier still kills it, and I do love me some Battles. Not sure if they are still together, but they have 3 very original records out. Helmet was truly original and ahead of their time. Hum was incredible, too. Bryan St. Pere shared several similarities with Stanier, aside from that of their kits. St. Pere plays with roughly 20 or 30 more cymbals than Stanier lol, but puts them all to good use. St Pere is another monster, just like Stanier. Look up "Hum- I'd like your hair long" live, recorded in '95. The volume in that studio that day must have been ear-splitting, and for good reason,for those guys were just crushing it. Good stuff. Give it a listen.
Don’t forget precise
its a shame he hates Page for whatever reason, cause his drumming is the biggest thing they are missing in this day. I remember reading when he brought Helmet back, he tried to get Bogdan and Stanier back, and they basically told him to sod off.
Now what genre would Helmet be? I mean personally i think their sound is totally different from any other bands genre(s). Wondering what other people think
Stanier is one of the more underrated drummers of the 90s...
yup
Don't think he's underrated, everyone says he's amazing
Agreed, and he continues on in his understated way to be one of my favorite active drummers with Battles, a band which sadly looks like it has run its course. Great stuff, though. Battles is/was a truly original band. I was lucky to see them live twice and was blown away both times, just like every time I saw Helmet in the 90's. Saw them last in 2005 with the new lineup, but it wasn't the same........
Not underrated at all, people gush about him all the time
if it helps, i rate him highly. Him and Dale Crover my favs
It's almost 2023 I'm fucking around on TH-cam and I'm grooving to this like it's 94. One of my favorites. I popped another bottle of wine to dive down this fucking awesome hole.
Same here '24
Helmet, Handsome, Orange 9MM, Quicksand, Failure, Man or Astroman, Deftones, ALL AWESOME BANDS!!!
creekandseminole Helmet is still my favorite band and musical soul too.
Check out Therapy? if you never have. Also partial the the catalogs of Melvins, FNM, Unsane and Jesus Lizard.
Texas Is The Reason is also a great band from the mid 90's
and Hum!
Add “Therapy?” They fit into this type of music
These guys were innovators. When everyone else was wearing thrift shop sweaters and long hair back in the early 90's, Helmet brought it with crew cuts and t-shirts. There was no one like them back then. This music makes me want to INVADE SOMETHING!
Captain Jellico yo
@Ryo-lence yeah, NY hardcore has been doing the no frills, plain anti-advertising thing for awhile already.

Lol, and not many NYC hardcore bands would've been caught dead with a hot pink guitar and day glo green strap like Page uses at times here
Yeah I always remember Page rocking the pink pointy headstock axe when it was predominantly fenders and gibsons😁
They weren't inovators, but they had sorta own style
@@vilimbubas1302 who plays like Page Hamilton? Innovator. Yes.
Stanier's drumming was the melody for most of these songs for me. Absolutely incredible band!
Oh yeah 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm in love with that snare drum sound.
Tony Daniels pervert
Mario Aloe Apparently Stanier used to use these special coated heads on his snare when he was in Helmet.. don't know much more than that.
That snare sound is what made me listen to more Helmet in the 90's and 2000's
From looking at it I'd say it's either a steel or aluminum snare. 6.5x14 I think, cranked up all the way.
Yes sir
Imagine a reunion of this line up.
Don’t fuckin tease me like that. Lol.
We can only dream
It won’t happen. I talked to Paige back in 2007 and he said he really doesn’t have a relationship with former members.
Would love that to happen so much. Sigh.
Hahaha, that would be a dream.
Helmet is some of the best music to just turn up as loud as possible.... I remember blasting this shit in high school and I messed up my parent expensive stereo lolol
this drummer.. this guy.... sorry to everyone else, its just not the same without dis guy.
ThePatsyMusic true
John Stanier unbelievable!
Saw them 3 times in this era...2 of those gigs on acid...they cost me about a decades worth of dopamine
Man, the drummer is SO uniquely styled, tight, and vibrant. Great enthusiasm to boot. Their mosh pits were pretty relentless. Check the ejection at 16 minutes.
listening to that outro I could fly too
Their most pits are amazing...buddy of mine cracked a rib in there...I definitely woke up worse for the wear that day too..but we're going back, in about a month, Helmet is coming to my home town...we're going to see them for the fourth time live...they never disappoint...
Best mosh for me came from Cobain, his early work is pure destruction of rock and roll

That’s fucking awesome dude
Hahaha and with an t-shirt of the band of my country!! Haha you are a legend, dude!! \,,/
Hahaha nice man, i was also 16 when i saw helmet for the first time
Niiiice! You're a legend!
19:15
Helmet and Quicksand. Two of the best sounding bands in this era. Saw helmet live. Was amazing
Saw them in Albany NY after Betty's release, they crushed it
Meantime is still one of the most brutal songs. Love that album.
Nothing has topped it since then.
Pig Destroyer's cover does it justice, and makes it even more brutal
@YUNG DVNK TV what part do u disagree with? I didn't say it was a better song btw
My all time favorite album
That whole album is a banger, not one skip imo 💯. Betty as well, no skips!
My "Betty" CD, purchased in 1994, still gets plenty of airtime in my car stereo! Love you long time, Helmet! :)

Best cracking snare ever. His drums are always so tight.
I saw Helmet four times in the 90s and met them once on the Aftertaste tour. One of the best sounding live bands I've ever seen.
What I love about this performance is not only did Helmet have a legit claim for "Best Heavy Band in the World" at the time but they know and embrace it which just further fuels the passion.
Damn... that drumming though....
Incredible
Page Hamilton consistently has such a thick guitar tone
I love Stainers Cheshire Cat smile as he pounds the living christ out of those fucking drums!!!! Awesome band!! To bad the original line up can't get back together!!!!
Every time I see this show makes me want to tune my guitar to drop D.
Yep
💯
I was there
The luckiest human being to live on this earth...
Me too!
Nice. I just bought all their albums on cassette tape when I was in High School in Australia lol. One of the many bands I absolutely loved when I was growing up. Never saw them live though. I still have my 'Betty' cassette tape cover inlay lol. This band was very influential for a lot of bands.
Was it as good as it looks?
I wish were there
Helmet fucking owned it back in the day. One of my all time fave bands. My first show was around this time at Metro Chicago.
Amazing band...they gave me a neck injury in the 90's banging my head during a live show in Gent.
I'm so glad I saw Helmet back in '94. Immediately fell in love with Page's magenta ESP Horizon. Awesome sound.
Saw them open for Tool and Primus on New Years Eve 1995 at Oakland Coliseum! They were so awesome and LOUD!!
One of the best live bands of all time.
Yeah ....clear like cd plays
Can I somehow climb into this video and get into that mosh?
Wish this lineup was still around today. The core lineup of Page Hamilton, Henry Bogdan and the immortal John Stanier was unbeatable.
I wish I was listening to Helmet back then. I was too busy listening to Superunknown by Soundgarden in the summer of '94 on repeat. I didn't get into Helmet until almost 10 years later.
You know it's so funny, I was just thinking this afternoon how I was so into helmet nonstop that I missed out on Soundgarden.

Refreshing to see no one taking selfies or filming on phones. Helmet rule.
Honestly man, a time when people enjoyed music and tbh when most music was fucking good
I always come back to watch this one, It's one of the best shows on here.
A time where moshing didn't consist of beating people up...

shubn possible that its a dub of yours. Someone sent me a digital vhs rip about 10 years ago, maybe it was based on your tape?
I'm in love with page Hamilton ? can't explain but his voice takes me to my happy place! meantime Betty Ironhead rocks so hard
Questo concerto e' storia! l'ho seguito in diretta e registrato su VHS,bei tempi! grande MTVitalia.
У Helmet очень своеобразное музыкальное звучание - это бесспорно. Кстати, этот состав я считаю золотым.

STANIER
For some reason the Betty songs sound 2X good live to me. That album needs to be remastered if it hasn't already.
No, Betty sounds perfect. Asshole
The best helmet line up
Milquetoast is extraordinary in every way
good pick for best helmet song ofalltimes
90's... concert...videomusic... miss this period.
How is anybody aknowledge the fact that this guys got that staccato sound and rythim that make Djent to addictive in the first place too early? Bands like Helmet and Quicksand were Djent without the "Djent" 😗. Jokes aside, what a time to be alive! The music was raw and good sounding in a way that nowadays kinda dissapear.
Everything I learned about playing heavy rock bass I learmed from Helmet & Henry Bogdan. Between pickups and bridge gets the besssst tone🤘
John Stanier and Matt Cameron were the only "STAND OUT" drummers of the 90s. Amazing technical skill and HEAVY as hell.........
+brikrantz1 Was Jimmy Chamberlain of Smashing Pumpkins NOT a stand out drummer?
Tony Daniels Thanks for mentioning him. Excuse my omission. His snare drum riff in the song Tristessa always rips my head off.
+brikrantz1 and Dale Crover from the Melvins?
jimmy chamberlin
matt cameron jimmy chamberlain john stainer sean kinney and mike bordin
Bogdan Stanier are the Jones Bonham of my generation
This is just so fucking relentless. Yes, you can dance, or head bang. Value.
I was there! And that's where I bought my first Helmet CD (Betty)!
that snare sound.....Damn!
Tight grooves and smooth and heavy riffs what's not to love
I don't get how this crowd ain't going atomic w Milquetoast. Helmet always sounds great live, Stainer is a beast on the drums. Always loved that snare sound.. 🤘😣👍🏽
saw them in 95 when they came to my school. was front center. I threw some old guy in the pit.... told him to sink or swim. was an insane show
Penn State? I was at a show at their annual Mudfest I think it was called in 1995
I saw them in 2015 I think at a small music hall in Durham, NC. They absolutely killed it! There was a snowstorm in the area that night,and I'm so glad they didn't cancel.
They played unannounced at Warped in 04 (05?) the last year they played at Fitchburg Mass.

Uma das minhas bandas prediletas e, uma das melhores bandas do planeta na minha opinião!!! Helmet é foda!!!
damn, helmet is no joke.

Dope transition from Just another victim to Meantime. Never seen them double down for the peak of the show, no rest, no problem.
John Stanier on drums sounds dead on. Good old days.
The stamina , the drummer has. Incredible 😀😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😃👍
WOW! This was 25 years ago!! Wonder who in the crowd is seeing this video now and thinking the same thing.
30 now 😂
I remember reading in the early nineties that Helmet sounded like "an engine running without motor oil"...i still think this analogy is dead on. This quote enticed me into discovering the band that tamed the noise--a symphony of pure noise. So when i need a shot in the arm, i always think of helmet. I've seen them once live for the "Meantime" tour. I screamed the lyrics for "turned out", and the band laughed and played it. May helmet live and prosper for many years to come.
man, what happened to Bogdans cap?xD I thought they were inseparable
You can see why battles have so much groove
love how it says give it when milquetoast starts.
Oh man I wish I was born before that time ..! ✨🔥
Best decade to be young ever
Que poder Helmet,mi banda favorita de todos los tiempos...
Só tenho um groove a dizer; HELMET! \W/
ummilhão de vezes animal esse show!
Vdd massa
This is so good. Great sound quality.. Unbelievable band. So underrated...
23' still bangin to helmet
I feel that henry bogdan doesnt get the attention he deserves
but he's the... bassplayer... you know...
This band and Pantera are my main influences, nobody cares but I had a few drinks and you know, you always come back where you were happy.
just bingewatching this show man, it's so good I always come back, helmet is a fucking great band, and john stanier deserved more recognition
i saw one of those guys doing magic tricks behind a 7-11. i swear. he was freaking awesome. his hand actually disappeared into the crowd.
聞き狂った曲ばかりで最高です！！
2023 love this band
great show! big fan of page hamilton since "band of susans"
Uma das melhores bandas que já existiu. Muito diferenciada e avançada pra época
rember watching this on tv. Very lucky all those in the crowd of one memorable Italian rock metal festival. SONORIA. Videomusic was still a hot pretty openminded independent music channel and Italy never got anything like that ever since. Love HELMET 🤘
Real big on these guys since high school and still listen and love playing there songs.
the lyrics are just the grease that moves the metal
Currently in my 20s and fucking grateful to be listening to this
the 1st band that can headbang with short hair.
