I have a 6 CD changer in my car. Aftertaste never leaves it. It’s now a 5 disc changer plus Aftertaste.🤣 I still listen to it maybe 3 times a week. I never get tired of it.
@@davebowden4010 Love Meantime! And of course Betty! But once they got to Size Matters, Hamilton’s voice got really gravelly and weird. I don’t know what happened.
@@hobbycow5346 Yeah you're right. By that time Hamilton had been thrashing his voice for a lot of years. But it sounds ok again now....for an old dude hahahaa
When I first heard Helmet; I thought they were a bit of a bland heavy rock band. Now as I've grown, I realize how genius and ahead of their time they were. They should have received way more attention than they did!!! Plus they were one of the first rockers on video to sport short hair and ball caps... enforcing the 'we don't give a f*ck, we just make good music' fashion statement
It's a problem being ahead of your time. People don't get you and you don't get the attention you should. If you peak too soon you're forgotten as well - tough challenge!!
The New York Times called Helmet "a band that made important connections between indie-rock and metal." They have had a large impact on many alternative metal and nu metal groups, with bands such as Tool, Pantera, System of a Down, Nine Inch Nails, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Silverchair, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Chevelle and Deftones citing Helmet as an influence.Helmet have also influenced modern post-hardcore and metalcore groups, such as Killswitch Engage and Norma Jean
My first concert was Helmet a few months back with Cro-Mags. So. Fucking. Amazing. They played songs off Betty and Meantime and Strap it On. In the Meantime and Iron Head are my favorite Helmet songs, but seeing them live just rocked my world. I (briefly) spoke with Page and shook his hand after the concert and it permanently changed my life. My dad bought me a Meantime album shirt and I got Page to sign it. It’s been hanging on my wall ever since. I’ll be a Helmet fan for life.
I miss those guys too. But these guys are fantastic. I love that they are having fun jamming and as long as everyone wants to play music. Great video here. Listen and enjoy! Departures happen for a reason. Keep it up PH!!
Saw them last night here in Houston. I've seen the very best bands of my generation and HELMET has by far - by far the best sound live. It cannot be explained. You have to see them live to understand.
Agreed. Must hear them live! They'll be back in Minneapolis 12.14.2016, and caught them a few months back when they played their whole Betty disk. And it wuz gud
Christopher Schneider That was epic. They did that here in Texas as well with the performance of Betty. Dude, I kid you not. I have seen Rage Against the Machine five times, I've seen the original Alice In Chains. I've went to Lollapalooza 93 - 97 and countless concerts. HELMET pulls you in and if you love any kind of music, you'll immediately understand how much this guy cares about his sound. He owns the guitar and can make it do whatever the hell he wants. I know I sound like a punk ass fan boy but fuck man. It's that good, haha!
Blacktop was always my favorite cut! What a great era to come up in with THE Euclid Tavern in Cleveland, Ohio. Loved all those AmRep bands that would roll through there- The Cows, Unsane, Melvins, God Bullies, Helios Creed, Chokebore, Today is the Day.........
Jonathan Valente you're a Blackhawk fan too. I love Marian Hossa,Cory Crawford,Kane and all of the rest of the Blackhawk's.You fucking Rock dude because you love Helmet too.
Thanks. I can say the same about you. Helmet is an amazing band no doubt and the Hawks.. I've been a fan since I was a kid in grade school. What an amazing run we've had the last six years. And Hossa is on fire right now! 4 overtime winners this year and he leads the Hawks in goals.
Jonathan Valente Johnathan Teows will be back in the lineup from an injury. I am obsessed with Helmet too.I have been a Huge Helmet fan for 22 years .You fucking Rock dude because you love Helmet too.
Jonathan Valente Teows is back to for the Blackhawk's and Seabrook is another beast too.Panarin is hot too. You fucking Rock baby because you are a Helmet and Blackhawk fan too.
***** I'm a huge fan of Helmet. I have been to concerts of Helmet. I have bought every album and CD that Helmet have ever made. I be ordering the newest album and CD called (Dead To The World). Helmet to me is not dead to the World.
paige could be one of the most underrated musicians outta the 90s era...he can flat out play..and hard..what an awesome sound helmet has! louder mother fuuckerrs!!!
...you can say they play metal, or alt-metal, or noise, or indie-something, or what you please: the truth is that they just sound like Helmet, and no one else sounds like this
I will forever love Page. Newer stuff is a little hit and miss for me but they still kick a Jam. ❤️ Helmet. Can’t believe I just saw that they had a KEXP performance.
Saw Helmet many times in NYC. Especially the mid 80's into the 90's. I watched them at CBGB's where the crowd had a pit that was bananas! The song stops and a second later a guy from the crowd still going slams into the bass players cabinets and take them down like a bowling pin! Wild! Than I saw them at Roseland Ballroom early 90's. It's Helmet, Beastie Boys and Rollins Band. I forget the order but I will never forget the ceiling junks dropping down as HELMET played! They shook the roof at Roseland! Ministry didn't even do that or Rage Against the Machine when I saw them there!
no matter what kind of band members picks put to be in helmet; I will love all of them the same. page hamilton has good taste for who he picks out to be in the band.
That's a G&L L2000 bass. You can get a Tribute G&L cheap used, but the USA made are pretty expensive. The Tributes are great tho, different body and fretboard wood, different nut, otherwise the same bass with the same pickups and specs.

Cool thanks dood 👍😆
@@szymonorzechowski8805 helmet is all you need./)
Fucken killer sound once again. Tight too ....
Gutsy riffs n chops played precisely
That's the HELMET that I like to remember
@@markdinev8022 Those fuckers deserved to make WAY more cash back in the years.
Helmet is so ahead of their time. They really blurred the line between Seattle grunge, alternative rock, groove metal, and hard rock. Phenomenal band.
hell yeah doggie
@@SCOODAMcGOODA Well said, could not agree more.
Was.
They're like if nu-metal was actually good.
@@ejl1000 it was always good
Please do yourselves a favor and see this band live if they come to your cities...
Playing Sunday 21rst @ NEUMOS
Saw them in Atlanta in 94. It rained during their set and the mosh pit turned to foot deep mud. Got my nose busted open. Great show.
No
Great to see Helmet playing loud and proud after all these years.
Yea
Holy shit I got old. Was just listening to Unsung.
Helmet has the best flow and nicest distortion ever
And the biggest solid wall of sound in your face
SniperSam
Agreed :D
Underrated legends
Unsung heroes
Aftertaste is such a MONSTER album - really doesn't get the love it deserves
I have a 6 CD changer in my car. Aftertaste never leaves it. It’s now a 5 disc changer plus Aftertaste.🤣 I still listen to it maybe 3 times a week. I never get tired of it.

awesome, man!! brilliant story 👏
Helmet have many more awesome songs than "In the Meantime" and "Unsung". "Sinatra", "Distracted", "Wilma's Rainbow", soooo many killers.
totally agree! lets not forget milqtoast
Everything off of Meantime and Betty are complete masterpieces.
"Exactly What You Wanted" is my personal #1 favorite song by them.

Thank you so much audio engineer Mr. Kevin Suggs. Absolutly awesome sound!
Agreed!!
The bass is so mad i love it. Crisp guitar tone as well.
8 years later and sound still slaps
Actually i like more this KEXP preformance than the songs recorded on orig. Helmet LP. Seeing them live must be awesome !
@@piotrpieronek5526 i saw them twice in Prague, they still got it
This is a fantastic interview! Helmet has made me happy for nearly 3 decades. That's a long ass time, people.
Kyle Stevenson makes John Stanier proud. The beats behind Helmet's sound are what inspired a large part of my playing!
Nice when the host clearly likes the band and is extremely familiar with their work.
Excellent, they're still jammin'. Saw these guys back in the day with Sepultura and Ministry, great show...
Jayzuz, thats a line up.
oh shit man good line up
Helmet ROCKS. Glad to see 'em on this channel.
My favorite Helmet live video so far.....
0:30 Welcome to Algiers | 4:20 So Long | 7:30 Interview with Page | 20:01 Exactly What You Wanted | 22:32 Blacktop
Thanks
Thanks dude
Thank God. Love the interview but damn 😂
I love the bass tone on this track. Sounds incredible.
Que gran banda..desde Chile los sigo hace mucho tiempo..y siempre los escuchare
i miss mengede...i miss bogdan, stanier, and traynor.
i still love helmet.
Nothing like what they used to be though.
I miss those guys too. But these guys are fantastic. I love that they are having fun jamming and as long as everyone wants to play music. Great video here. Listen and enjoy! Departures happen for a reason. Keep it up PH!!
And Echevierra.
@@cakredi4132 Rob Echeverria was cold blooded. So badass.
So impressed by the sound quality of this live recording. AWESOME to hear these guys still rockin' out.
Helmet were one the best bands of their day. So many bands took inspiration from them.
Drummer SERVED IT UP on this performance. What a beast.
Kyle is a MONSTER live. He drums into your soul at 130db.
ikr them snare fills and just how tight the skin sounds...
Stevenson is true
Yeah man, that was very solid. Loved it.
Saw them last night here in Houston.
I've seen the very best bands of my generation and HELMET has by far - by far the best sound live. It cannot be explained. You have to see them live to understand.

This was Page at 53. Amazing.
Still sounds great today
@@DonnyBomb Still
One of the best post-hardcore bands ever

@@jordansmithyu-gi-oh2224”post-hardcore”
a sound so precise and ahead of it's time. i love IT!
helmet is a true classic band........been listening to them since i was 11
yeah me too! since 20 years! One of the greatest bands ever!
Monster Guitars Sounds...all helmet live performances have this FKN brutal Guitars!
Can't forget about the bass either ;)
I saw the melvins/ helmet shows in Australia- amazing!
That bass rumble... Bogdan's here in spirit.
Also, gotta be the only one who loves Page's bark.
Same bass model
"Blacktop" sounds amazing in that key!
Getting back into playing bass again. I have been jamming w friends and helmet riffs are always extra fun
Good to see Helmet is still strapping it on after all these years!!! CHEERS Page!!
I dunno what it is about HELMETS drums but the Groove and the overall sound just punches you in the mouth
Holy crap!! This is amazing
Jonathan Valente you're a Blackhawk fan too. I love Marian Hossa,Cory Crawford,Kane and all of the rest of the Blackhawk's.You fucking Rock dude because you love Helmet too.

So do you baby. You rock too. I want to take you to a Blackhawks game and listen to Helmet with you ;-)
I saw Helmet back in '91 at the Universal Amphitheater with Ministry and Pantera. No one was tighter!
This may be the most underrated band in rock history
aah Blacktop... loved the raw sound of the "strap it on" album!
I still think that Helmet is still the best band of all modern day times.
***** I'm a huge fan of Helmet. I have been to concerts of Helmet. I have bought every album and CD that Helmet have ever made. I be ordering the newest album and CD called (Dead To The World). Helmet to me is not dead to the World.
Great album....had a strap it on t-shirt a long time ago😄
Marc Helmet still kicks ass no matter who is in the band's line-up.Page Hamilton is still hot at the age of 56 years old.
Still loving that band after all these years! Thanx Helmet (and Radio KEXP as well) :)
I love how they solo in the scale of Z , like Slayer
Yes, completely off key. But i love it! Keeps me guessing and keeps the solos interesting.
Its the jazz influence shining through.
That blacktop opens up in the chorus with the drums and chord progression is so cool
Well that kicked ass
This is inSANE! Thanks, Helmet!
KEXP has some awesome taste in music. I’ve seen the Man or Astroman? set, Dinosaur Jr., Wooden Shjips, and now Helmet. Badass
I want more Helmet
Roman helmet
they played Blacktop for f**k sake, everyone stop complaining.
Page is so humble, almost the whole interview talking about Wire. I loved it
That Paul and ESP look and sound amazing... Great band!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow the bass sounds amazing!!!
Amazing guitar tone!!!
Rythnmatic, syncopated, brutal beauty.
Esta formación es la mejor que tuvo Helmet, Suenan ajustadisimos!!!
Helmet is still heavier than most of the bands out there right now...
Pretty much all bands nowadays....

Man, this is incredibly cool. I know Helmet for so long and they keep surprising me.
That Blacktop performance is like a 100 times better than the album version. Gosh that pressure and drive!
I will forever love Page. Newer stuff is a little hit and miss for me but they still kick a Jam. ❤️ Helmet. Can’t believe I just saw that they had a KEXP performance.
Muito foda!!!!! Itu /sp /Brasil já esse vídeo mais de 30 x nos últimos dois dias!!!!!!!!!!
first time I saw Helmet was in 1992, playing with Sleep in San Jose CA, epic show! we were all youngsters back then ;-)
Awesome drummer!! Such a tight band..
very solid bass tone
+Jared Jeffers Yes! That is THE bass tone. Or awfully close.
These guys are great....saw them years ago in Sydney. Good and tight-hard sound
This sounds so great! amazing live band

Never Heard Page singing this way. Why do i have to wait so long !!!!!

So many years on, still helmet.
How angry is that bass sound?!
+Philip Taylor Very.

Amazingly angry
El Chupacabra don't forget the player :-)
ahead of their time!!!! love them!!!!!!!!
Helmet confirmed, another album on the way soon. Very pumped
Great! Still think Helmet is at its best when the groove is the driving force.
So Long is such an amazing song.
Sounding so damn good. The whole band is tight as hell!
This is phenomenal!!!
this is a band i never checked before, holy shit, it's amazing!
Page Hamilton.. awesome !
grossly underrated !!!!!!
