just listen to whole song here /watch?v=lgHQwzEhf8g. And for those who says that page doesn't have any talent.... just try to make your own solo with this riff
Sorry, but Page has always said that he makes the music in Helmet. He does the lead stuff on guitar. If you check out live concerts where they perform Milquetoast, Tic, Role Model or In the Meantime you will see that.
Yes, this is extremely simple taken by itself. What matters is the end product...the songs...with the vocals, bass, drums, etc...the overall composition. That is why Helmet is good, great songs. This also shows that you don't have to play the most complicated stuff on guitar or even have the best abilities (which he does despite what this shows) to create great music that can make you famous or have a career. Create something that people feel, and you will do well. Nirvana also showed this.
Wow more than 100 people don't know that rock music doesn't have 2 be full of fret board fireworks and sloppy solos! This riff is simple yes but it makes a great composition!
@Steviepth And with Dan, Kyle, and Dave it sounds like a Helmet song. My guitar playing is shit when I'm by myself but throw a bassist and drummer we sound awesome. Notice I didn't say I?
im guessing you dont play guitar because you'd probably agree with me on my comment.
my band may not be as "influential" as them (lol) but we probably have a lot more talent than these guys. unless their drummer starts hitting 64ths and the guitarist starts playing things other than simple power chords in drop d, there isnt much of an arguement here.
Dude you are a joke. I heard your "song" and it's hopeless. You can't play in time and it's basically just one big sloppy mess. Don't write foolish stuff when you're a hack.
why is everyone dissing him hes from helmet they were a grunge band from the 90s he isn't shredding because that's not what he likes to do i think it sounds pretty sick
That had to be the longest 3 minutes and 37 seconds ever. None of that song made any kind of melodic sense. He should at least play in standard. Then it would at least look somewhat impressive. If I handed a guitar in drop d to anyone that has never played one, that's what I'd get. I don't really listen to this band, but seriously, they HAVE to have something more intricate than THAT to put on a channel dedicated to guitarists.
@jarek1283 I don't see any evidence of him using basic musical training honestly. Melodically, this song is painful to even listen to. And most of the best guitarists have no degree in music, and in fact many of them are self-taught, Where are his other compositions. I would need to hear them in order to change my mind.
@beansandcornbread Actually, I am quite knowledgeable of music. This just sounds atrocious. I've looked up Helmet. It's much of the same stuff recycled over and over again. I'm just kinda puzzled at how this guy has his own line of guitars, and is a featured artist, when clearly all of his stuff is unmistakably bland. It almost sounds atonal, but it's not. If it were twelve-tone music, it would actually have structural fiber. It's just random and unpleasant accidentals tossed around mindlessly
jesus christ you people stop replying to this comment, the guy should have pick a better demonstration cause this riff just isn't interesting. In all fairness I've checked them out and yes they're cool as hell. I just can't believe this was the riff he chooses to play
unmistakable guitar groove,there's a reason they've been underrated forever cause people don't realize it's not about jerking off on a guitar but creating a solid as hell riff that everyone in the band can expand on.
@dhellbilly cause you are ignorante....this guy influenced a lot in the music back in the 90s ......and the band was made by talented musicians....making a song with a single riff sometimes is more difficult than palying thousands of notes!:!:!:
ppl must think you should use every cord in guitar playing? fuck that play the sound you want to hear... i tore all of my high strings off my guitar lol i hate the way they sound ill let other ppl do the soloing in there music i just like the massive sounding riffs like this i think it sounds killer
@bimbopapasitoYa, your 5 year old and wife are so much better than Helmet. Can't believe I haven't bought the "I talk too much shit on Youtube" album.
@bimbopapasito I go out to watch people play Guitar Hero all the time. Screw seeing real bands play real music. I'm also into five year olds and wife bands.
This guy supposedly has a college degree in jazz guitar, but I don't hear it in his playing. All I hear is a bunch of downtuned, dinosaur-fart riffs. I've got to do more searching on youtube, and hopefully, there'll be a video of him laying down some tasty jazz soloing. If I had to go by this video alone, I'd be severely disappointed.
I'm a former Helmet fan and I still have a lot of respect for their earlier albums. And when I still played heavy rock I myself mostly had Drop D tuning, albeit with more interest in the higher strings than what he plays here... But I mean, even if this may sound great on a record, I have to agree with the people who think this is not that good. As a guitar video there's not much to watch for 3 full minutes+.
I'll just say, yea it is fucking easy to learn and play that riff. But the guy plays with such an amount of fluidity that can't be beat. That said, he is trying to write songs, not win the guitar Olympics. And let's not forgot he is absolutely one of the forefathers of that drop-D riff style. Dude's been done & did all that 25 years ago. And let's not forget as others have already stated his whole jazz and composing movie scores thing. Step the fuck back suckers.
@pleaseutube but what i hear dousnt sound like jazz XD ok he may be able to play jazz i dont know him doin that but you gotta admit that hes not good at playin metal
The ability to play fast and technical music doesn't make you a good musician. As much as I love bands like Dream Theater and Symphony X, I have much respect for Page and the rest of Helmet for keeping the spirit of the riff alive. It's not about complexity, it's about making kick ass music.
I think the problem is that something this blunt needs serious kit behind it and in the little fpe guitar room they only get a small amp or something.
those two cords hes playing sound heavier, thicker, and twice as powerful as anything you can prob play... Its not about how much shit you know its about how you use what you do know
Wow what the fuck is up with people hating on Page? He's a great guitarist...its all about groove. All these fucking idiots practicing sweeps all day long cant understand what makes a great groove.
i'm speechless when i look at all those dumb coments. whatever, i'll just go and listen to helmet, becouse they are supposed to sound good as a band, not a bunch of soloists. get over it.
that fact that this man holds a masters degree in whatever the flying fuck does not serve to justify, at all, the obvious reality that this is officially the worst metal riff in the history of God. seriously, this is the shittiest shit that could ever be shitted from such a beautiful guitar/tone.
I used to see helmet on cable tv back in 1992-1994. i used to love music in the 90s as a kid i was in 4th grade and I used to be a big nirvana and I was a big grunge fan. but then as i got older i listened to a lot of korn and hardcore such as staind and all alternative music on the radio. rock out people
Technically, Drop C is CADGBE - e down to C. The same way that audioslave and soundgarden use drop B, which is BADGBE. Drop C is an extremly rare tuning, but its out there. Drop D down a tone is really a much more accurate name for it.
After Betty came out, Paige and Helmet lost their edge. Size Matters was a big let down imo...but GOD in his earlier years!!!!! HE was absolutely amazing. We used to joke around about his first Record Label..it was called "NOISE" .. and it was and it was some of the best metal of all time!! Paige i still love ya though
Page is one of the most gifted and under rated guitarist out there. I got the chance to meet him in 1997 and he sat and talked to me for close to 10 minutes. I have met a lot of musicians and I can tell you Page is one of the nicest down to earth guys you would ever want to meet.
Helmet is one of my favorite bands. I have seen them 10 times or so. What I dont understand is why Page changed his voice style on Monochrome. I do understand the desire to avoid making the same album over and over but when a band (or any artist) develops they generally dont care what the public thinks. In Helmets case their popularity was fading After - tasts and they probabally should have kept with the status-quo. Regardless there is allways a disc of theirs in the car.
Page is such a good and overlooked and underrated guitarist.
I like Swallowing Everything, but there are other helmet songs this tune can't hold a candle too, I think he just played this song because it is off of their latest album.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm not saying Helmet are a bad band, nor am I saying metal is all about solos, I actually prefer Good vocals and Killer riffs as opposed to sucky vocals and great solos. All I was saying is this guy is playing a boring five chords , which would lead me to beleive he is rythm guitar.
By the way GeeYaBee, did ya know that Pantera sighted Helmet as a major musical influence. Listen to their song Rise and then Listen to Helmets Unsung. Listen closely and you might be able to pick up Page's style in Pantera's music!
not really all that interesting without all the other stuff around it ...

You can't expect a series of power chords to sound awesome when it's isolated from the bass, drums and vocals.
Like nobody really wants to hear an instrumental of "Blitzkrieg Bop" with only the guitar going.
It's cool that FPE-TV features him, but they should've set up a backing track for him to go along with.

Exactly! It might not be correct, but it's the term used. I just think it's also worth knowing the technical name for it.

After Betty came out, Paige and Helmet lost their edge. Size Matters was a big let down imo...but GOD in his earlier years!!!!! HE was absolutely amazing. We used to joke around about his first Record Label..it was called "NOISE" .. and it was and it was some of the best metal of all time!! Paige i still love ya though

Page is one of the most gifted and under rated guitarist out there. I got the chance to meet him in 1997 and he sat and talked to me for close to 10 minutes. I have met a lot of musicians and I can tell you Page is one of the nicest down to earth guys you would ever want to meet.

Helmet is one of my favorite bands. I have seen them 10 times or so. What I dont understand is why Page changed his voice style on Monochrome. I do understand the desire to avoid making the same album over and over but when a band (or any artist) develops they generally dont care what the public thinks. In Helmets case their popularity was fading After - tasts and they probabally should have kept with the status-quo. Regardless there is allways a disc of theirs in the car.

people talking shit about Page, your shitty little new school bands probably wouldnt be here if it wasnt for this genius.

Awesome video.
Page is such a good and overlooked and underrated guitarist.
I like Swallowing Everything, but there are other helmet songs this tune can't hold a candle too, I think he just played this song because it is off of their latest album.

What an asshole. His playing is boring and mundane. All he is doing is playing slow riffs with some palm muting.
And it sucks. Thats why I asked if he was rhythm guitar.Douche.

I'm not saying Helmet are a bad band, nor am I saying metal is all about solos, I actually prefer Good vocals and Killer riffs as opposed to sucky vocals and great solos. All I was saying is this guy is playing a boring five chords , which would lead me to beleive he is rythm guitar.
And your still an asshole.
GeeYaBee 2 years ago
so? and if a song only has 2 chords its still a great song...like Walk by Pantera, or i suppose thats not enough for your refned taste is it

No way did you compare this riff to a dimebag riff, Shame on you. That riff rocks, has a lot of feeling and attitude. This sucks.
You suck. You jackass.

Youre a retard, GeeYa. >this has got feeling. And if you knew anything about Helmet, you'd know whether he is rhythm-guitar or lead.
You don't know shit but youre judging over a guitarplayer you dont know. Now thats retarded.
Moron.

By the way GeeYaBee, did ya know that Pantera sighted Helmet as a major musical influence. Listen to their song Rise and then Listen to Helmets Unsung. Listen closely and you might be able to pick up Page's style in Pantera's music!
