lol, now a days Helmet is like Queens of the stoneage with all these new members, but come on, helmet is amazing and will always be amazing even if page has different vocals any day i could appreciate Helmet's work.
Page's voice has changed so much over the years and I think that is the biggest reason people don't like the new stuff. Imagine this song sung by 1992 Page Hamilton, it probably would be awesome.
When Betty came out so many people were pissed because Page didn't sing like he did on Meantime or Strap it on. I loved Betty, best album imo.
The best part of Helmet is that if I turn on anything from Meantime, young kids will get into them. Their earlier works are timeless and simply kick ass.
@LetsFeedit you may be right but 2 things I dare to say . 1 I think Page's musical vision is more experimental and conceptual than esthetically complient and the change was confirmed after the after taste..Because is not his vision and it wont work with the songs they play live. Monochrome confirmed what I'm saying, his careless vocals tells you is not about that anymore.
I hope you heared their nu material, he played some of it on his las visit to las Vegas and get ready is totally kick@55!
my first concert was poison-1987-i was 9...saw helmet twice in the early 90's..would have seen them thrice but they had an auto accident....any comparison of the two is ignorant... so gald to see these guys still kickin ass!....
YESTERDAY I SAW HELMET IN ZAGREB CROATIa, realy great small gig for 300 fans. i remeber Helmet from Meantime fase but that we saw yesterday was amazing. thnx guys for nice evening
If anybody feels better by renaming Helmet from SM on, thinking that the new stuff betrays "the ancient" Helmet' style, probably is right (I don't care). But the new songs should not be judged as bad merely for not being in tune with the old ones (if anybody thinks so). Personally I think that in SM Helmet (or Hamilton&co) added moving melodies to the classic Helmet rythm, thereby enhancing/refreshing one style beckoned to death in Aftertaste. Great album and great song.
WTF.this is so incredibly sad. I was sick to my stomach after initially hearing this album. Try to imagine John Stanier playing the drums to this track, He'd walk out before hand, rightfully so. Page shouldn't have used the Helmet name to go along with this, sad, sad, sad from one of the biggest Helmet fans in existance.
Jeez someone piss in your wheaties?This song reminds me of Unskinny Bop by Poison,but you probabably like that too. This is most definately the worst song Helmet has ever released, anyone familer with vintage Helmet would most certainly agree from both a musical and lyric perspective.Monochrome is an improvement, but doesn't begin to approach others in the helmet discography.Maybe you shouldn't "broadcast such emotion"you make yourself look dumb and ignorant.Hey if you like it, its your opinion.
I believe the term was "fuck off" not "help someone peed in my cereal" jeez. Have you heard the drums on Unsung?
I dont make myself look "dumb and ignorant" - which an intelligent person would recognize to be basically the same thing.
I have quite a few Helmet songs on my channel.
I can admit that this song is somewhat generic, as far as Helmet goes. Look at the state of music though, just turn on the radio for fucks sake. I do like this song I like all Helmet. If you dont FUCK OFF.
Sick to your stomach - because someone actually did piss in YOUR wheaties?
& Why are you naming songs by Poison and accusing ME of liking them???
By the way maybe you should let Page decide what to do with HIS BRILLIANT band... Frankly you (nor anyone) has a right to judge his decisions. The man is a genius.
"He'd walk out before hand, rightfully so."
You dont even fucking know that! Do you know him??? Do you know anything? Or do you just talk shit about Helmet? You call yourself a fan.
"Do you know him" actually I do,I've hung with John on numerous ocassions,in multiple countries.I've sat a drank beers with Page,in London,had Page teach me how to play"Bad Mood"on guitar on his tour bus in the presence of D and Donita from L7.Page is a rock legend no doubt,but the mistake is made when one thinks Helmet is"pages band"the first 4 helmet albums were all bigger then Page, and its painfully obvious today.Not even Page can bring back the helmet of the 90's,victim of his own success.
... and spend your time talking about how the music makes you sick to your stomach and talking about pissing in cereal listening to Poison and insulting Page's artistic ability. Quite frankly, youre all over the place.
The point is, I can hardly imagine that you could produce such great music - if you know any or all of them personally or not.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This footage brings a tear to my eye. What happened? Unbelievably boring and mediocre. Page looks tired and uninterested. Somebody please tell him to stick to producing. Performing "live" suggests that there be some sort of action taking place before the audience. Total flatline. Long live John Stanier. Check out Battles!
it's a shame the original line up split. even if stanier had stayed with page that would have been good enough. page still rocks out some sweet riffs though. long live page hamilton!
he always wrote all the music, so, in a way, it is HIS band.
didn't he start the band and come up with the name too?

Is this Helmet or Page Hamilton and 3 hired teenagers? I don't hear any good riffs. Maybe he should make up with Peter Mengede.
