Helmet Sinatra(live)

Paste &fmt=18 at the end of the url for high quality sound(192/44100) Here's an impeccably recorded version of the helmet classic "sinatra", taken from the Betty(limited edition) maintained in 192kb/44100 stereo! Enjoy!

Helmet Sinatra:
I can't move her
Obsessed with protection
This is a bad idea
She needs affection
What, me?

Drive around town forced to talk
Pass that church again
Where's a parking spot
It's Sinatra's world
She just lives here
I hate everything as much as
I hate me

What's the best for me?

She doesn't see me
I don't care
Just move around some and
Fix your stare
I had more fun
Took half the time
Cost three bucks, buy a magazine

What's the best for me?

I've been watching videos on YouTube for a whole 10 minutes now, and I'm already totally fucking sick of the 'Deftones are the best no Jawbox are better Chino's a better singer no fuck you Helmet rule' arguments. But with less punctuation.

Can we just all grow the fuck up and admit that Deftones, Jawbox and Helmet are all fucking killer?

Many thanks

Well said. I'm a huge Jawbox fan as well. The level of disrespect towards Helmet in light of the Deftones cover of this song is what bothers me. Helmet was one of the hardest working bands in the mid 90's, never had an off night, today both P. Hamilton and John Stanier are absolute legends for it! Folks are entitled to perfer the defotnes version if they so wish, but why the need to disrespect Helmet over it. They just took different approaches, i perfer the more angry helmet approach.

deftones>helmet

deftones version of this song is better in each and every way

DEFTONES FOR LIFE

[bcastine1975]

Keep smoking your crack rock......

"Without Helmet thier would be no deftones"

Sorry to burst your bubble but that is clearly not true - you should learn more about deftones before making statements such as that.

As for their cover of Sinatra - although I personally prefer the helmet version, I think the deftones did a good job of it and at least intrepreted it in their own style (instead of doing a simply like-for-like copy). I like the way they changed the mood of it from anger to a more dark and despairing feel.

[bcastine1975]

Either way its not Helmet covering def tones songs lol. Sorry to burst your bubble, but their isn't a member of the deftones at their respected instrument that can even claim to be in the same galaxy as their Helmet counter part, nor would they claim to be. I don't dislike the deftones version, i dislike the disrespect by every deftones fan boy seems to display.This version speaks for itself, plain and simply, follow it up with the tones, and its thin and lacking in many areas in comparison.

this has always been my favorite song by Helmet. If anyone like Deftones, i recommend listening to their cover of this song. It is equally amazing. It is off the b-sides album/dvd they came out with a couple years ago.

Also, if my Pandora stations have Queens Of The Stone Age, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Primus, and all orders of music that SHOULD rotate Helmet into the mix, why don't they? I notice this with a lot of good bands that I never hear on Pandora?

I've been in love with the Deftones version since I heard it and just discovered that this is a Helmet song: Not only do I love Helmet's version more especially at 1:52 on - I just amazoned a few of their cd's since I've heard tons of their shit on video games and sirius. But without the Deftones version (which I still love, its a great gesture to tribute) I wouldn't have been pushed to get some Helmet, Also gonna check out Jawbox since I've never even heard of them. Thank you, to covers!

[yuya7723]

really good !

[shimmering1000]

amazing heavy slowburn

[Guitarhead97]

Without helmet their wouldnt even be a sinatra cover!!!!! So all u dumb fuck that dont know shit about either one of them need to get educated! Half of u are prob 15 year old emo kids any way... Go cut yourselves and leave the good music to the grown ups!!!

[magneteye]

@mlc3 that statement about Helmet actually came directly from Chino Moreno's mouth in an interview... so, it isn't all that crazy.

[yeleikdaags]

This version was the first Helmet track I ever heard and it's probably still my favourite!!

[tourettes84]

fuck deftones.

[TheShadowMystik]

@magneteye Helmet=ETERNAL AWESOMENESS! :D

[magneteye]

@sattfield Chino said in an interview that Helmet was one of the biggest influences on Deftones. So give respect to Helmet, dipshits. They fucking rocked and helped propel modern rock into a new direction.
