What other bands do you want to see me cover? Sinatra at 7:47 for some reason showed up in my video editor but when I exported it, the title showed up blank. No idea why. Also, here's another band that got lumped in with the whole 'alternative rock/grunge' thing by the media ruclips.net/video/a08NS4hR7Pk/видео.html
The history of Jon butcher aka John butcher axis. He is/was a truly gifted guitarist/singer. But he never seemed to get the Recognition he deserves. I kinda hoped he was going to be the next Jimi Hendrix!!! He and Stevie Ray Vaughn kinda burst onto the seen and just missed hitting the big time!! I was always a bit disappointed but at the same time the music I did hear from really was top notch.
I’m happy you’re finally getting your due. Being over 1/2 a million subscribers is not easy. This is a great channel and deserves a heck of a lot more subscribers. Hopefully you’ll have more and more a push a million soon. Thank you for keeping my favorite music a class channel!!! Keep up the great work it is appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
'No Image' is an image. I understand that you're admiring that they were unintentional about curating an image, but everything is an image, even no image.
Met Page after the show last week. After all these years he's still very down to earth and a humble nice guy. Took the time to talk to fans after the show and take pictures with them.
First time I go to see Helmet was on the Strap It On tour. My roommate booked the local club and a whopping 8 people showed up. This didn't stop the guys from absolutely blowing us away. That night they slept on my apartment floor and the next day we went to New Orleans with them for their next show. Can't say enough nice things about them. Super nice people.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 So is Aftertaste. Betty is underrated but still gets enough flowers. Aftertaste features some of their best work imo. I've been on 'em since Born Annoying and it took a while for that album to grow on me. But now it's a go to. Great cover to cover.
@trenchy1990 I had forgotten all about them when I responded. I couldn't agree more. I've seen them too in a big setting, a festival stage B if my very old brain works.
Saw Helmet in 92 for the Meantime tour. Hands down the best live show I’ve ever experienced. One super cool thing about helmet that I’ve noticed is how many kids are listening to them nowadays. I went to a local punk venue recently and one of the bands covered In The Meantime and the place went absolutely nuts!! Brought a tear to my eye.
I also saw them in Nashville in 1992. They were incredible. I had to hold up Page's microphone stand which kept getting knocked over as the venue was small and the stage ground level. Before they played I recognized their drummer at the merch stand as I had seen him in photos. As I got closer I realized I had known him from high school and we talked a bit. Called him in NY a couple times. It was wild! See other comment below for details.
@@DogSlobberGardens-i7f Lol. When I was a kid they would say “ if it’s too loud you’re too old “ But now that I’m old with ear drum damage from years of punishment from loud music it seems like it’ll never be loud enough again. Hahaha. So I guess that old saying ( kinda like myself) didn’t age well. 😂
@@SchizoAction yeah.... I hear you. Ho ho. All those years of standing next to printing presses all week and standing in front of screaming stacks every weekend didn't do my ears any favors :p
While this was pretty much all about Page, cannot be overstated how much both Henry Bogdan and John Stanier contributed. John's drums are so sick and Helmet was never the same once he left after Aftertaste.
I worked security for that show backstage, Tagged Dave Grohl for his pass and talked to one of the lads from Helmet for a bit about the Town. Great for a show I didnt even see
I almost died in the pit at “City Gardens” in Trenton, New Jersey during that show! Faith No More was incredible as well! They played all their heaviest shit to make that combo make sense.
I love your videos - so informative, and non-annoying like some other channels lol. Helmet is awesome, and I played the hell out of them in the 90's, 2000's and to this day. Criminally underrated band imho. I personally loved "Turned Out" - that song got me every time!
Helmet is one of my favorite bands from that period, I did a playthrough of 'Like I Care' on my channel, this channel consistently continues to be one of the best on this platform for music deep dives that aren't hours long, kudos to you man and you half million subs, I've binged this channel many times and your efforts are much appreciated, respect!
Saw them at a little club in Kalamazoo , MI on the Strap it on tour with The melvins and it was on the top shows I've ever seen. They put The melvins on notice that night that they needed to bring their game way up and they did. What a show!
Yeah man, let's hear more about Betty! I read that interview in the Village Voice, and I was REALLY surprised to read he had a Master's degree in jazz, of all things! You reminded me of a lot of things from that time. Thanks for the video! 🤘😎
me too, got Meantime on cassette without hearing the band at all; I bought it simply because I saw Scott Ian wearing a Helmet shirt in a photo (big Anthrax fan here, haha).
Helmet was my introduction to the underground. Love them for that. RnRTS with another gem of a video. l really love these videos on the lesser known 90s bands. I used to miss the old days of MTV and VH1. Not anymore. Keep up the amazing content!
I saw Helmet play with Quicksand in (I thin) ‘93. To this day it’s one of my top 3 favorite shows of all time. It’s February 30* outside, I walk out of the club no jacket on t shirt ripped from armpit to waist on both sides and I’m so sweaty that I’m steaming like I just walked out of a fire!🔥 good times. Oh, and the show was a complete blur.
I'd love to hear more about Helmet. I saw them on the Betty tour two weeks ago, they were awesome. One big wall on sound stampeding all over us, so satisfying. After seeing Mr Bungle earlier this year as well, I am quite happy
@@rnrtruestoriesFor real! I’ve always been fascinated with their story. I’m a huge fan and still see them live! Thanks for giving such a detailed recounting
FOLLOW UP PLEASE! Absolutely love 'Meantime'. Still blast this every chance I get. 'Unsung' and 'In The Meantime' are monster songs; love love love this video
A friend of mine played guitar on Symphony #6. I'll have to ask her about the experience. At the time, she didn't talk about it much. Keep up with Helmet!
Peter Mengede the Guitarist on the Strap it on and Meantime albums was from Brisbane Australia . Would have been nice to just delve into that a little .
Thanks for the nostalgia. I remember the first time I heard Helmet... and the shock to learn they were signed on AmRep, which was two miles away from me! Helmet never became a thing in Minneapolis, but I've been a fan ever since. I can go all the way back to "Born Annoying" and it all remains fresh and challenging.
16yr old me bought this record & wore it out. my Homie & I knew the tunes so well, that we could spend 20-30 mins getting it down on a Tama Rock Star 5-piece drum kit & my red Strat with Crate G20 amp & COBTEK Big Muff Pi pedal. I know we could still rip through a few of those. that was a great time & it got me started on a long journey
Unsung just gripped my 15 year old angsty self like a vice grip and that along with the discovery of Mudhoney, Screaming Trees and ‘Bonecrusher’ by Austin’s ‘Soulhat’ and their new (1994) electric album ‘Good to be Gone’ was just what the good doctor ordered!!!! Frosty had an incredible resume he’d recorded and toured with Sly & the Family Stone, Parliament/Funkadelic, Delbert McClinton, Sweathog, Lee Michaels and so many others it’s been said a short stint with the Band of Gypsy’s too .
Saw Helmet at the end of November this year doing the Betty album in full. Flying from Glasgow, Scotland to Geneva, Switzerland and watching Helmet in 250 capacity venue, a top experience.
Yes please make a video about Betty! But I really admire Pages background with jazz and classical guitar! Dude really has a wider musical vocabulary than me lol
"Unsung" was the first song I ever played with a band live on stage (bass & lead vocals). We added it to our set because it was blowing up at the time and "seemed" easy (lololol!). We practiced it together only a couple of times and something seemed off. Night before the show, we all stayed the night at one of the guitarist's (parents')house and did a practice/party session. While Under The Influence, I figured out what was wrong: "GUYS! STOP, STOP! WE GOTTA TUNE DOWN!!!" Much, much better! Not that it helped us all that much lol!😅🤣
I've been a huge fan of Helmet since '92. Amazing band. My best friend got to have drinks with them at a club they were playing in Charlotte a few years ago. They were just chilling at the bar having drinks chatting with people. She said they were really cool and laid back and easy to talk to.
Nice Part I. Definitely enough to do a Part II. Betty / Aftertaste etc. I remember Milquetoast was in The Crow movie. Also Helmet was in the Jerky Boys movie. Had a few interesting singles too. Gigantor on a Saturday Morning Cartoon collaboration album and a collaboration with House of Pain, Just Another Victom. You had already showed some clips from the John Stewart performance. They have an interesting history. My first favorite band and still one of my top 5 bands of all time. One last blurb my favorite songs are Ironhead and Milquetoast (Betty version).
I heard Helmet.for the first time while skating at fountain park. We always had a jam box turned up and somebody had made a mix tape of Dead Kennedys,Anthrax,Krass,ST and Helmet.
Seen these guys 4 times in the early 90s. First with Ministry then as headliners. My faves Born Annoying, Strap It On, Meantime, Betty and then Aftertaste.
I remember hearing Unsung sometime in 1998. Before that, they were just one of those groups whose albums I saw in Columbia House catalogs and always wondered about.
Yes - would deffo like to hear about Helmet - Betty, and beyond. I only saw them once (Brisbane, Straya circa '97-'98??) before Stanier and Bogdan departed. (2 or 3 times since.) I can't recall the real details of why the original guys opted out, so a look at that scenario and the later incarnation/s of the band would be great. 🙂👍
Saw 'em at Brissy's Livid Festival on the Meantime tour with the Beastie Boys. Everyone on acid. Wild shit ensued. Thanks Brissy. Had a super phat time.
Helmet is one of my favorite bands and "Betty" is my favorite album. I have always said "if I was stranded on a desert island with just a CD player and one CD, "Betty" is the one album I would choose." Love these guys!
Dude, you have really matured as a presenter/narrator over the last couple years. You've always had great content, but your cadence has slowed down and made it much easier to absorb the info, especially for an old fart like me that's been playing Van Halen at full volume for 40+ years lol. 🤘
Yeah it’s bizarre to say the least what’s happened. I would never treat my subs that way. Next thing you’ll tell me is that he’s not really into draft kings
I kinda discovered this band really rather late, like literally in the past few years I think... but those two songs like Unsung and In the Meantime are absolute Alternative Metal bangers!
I saw Helmet and Sepultura open for Ministry in 1992 at Maple Leaf Gardens. Helmet was touring for their album Meantime. That was the good old days. Paige had a cry on stage about something, which i now assume was due to not being given a good sound check. The other two bands destroyed. It was -10° when we left the arena soaked in sweat.
Can' believe I've been listening to Meantime off and on for 30+ years. Great album start to finish. I saw them in 1999 with the The Melvins, great show start to finish.
The very first thing I can remember thinking about Helmet when they first re came out and I saw them for the first time is I can’t believe these guys look like this. They all looked like normal short haired dudes but playing pretty gnarly hard rock. It was very unusual to see back then.
Man that sucks. It really is ridiculous.... I saw that Beyonce performance at halftime during the NFL game the other day and I just couldn't grasp how anyone could appreciate it. And helmet is out here canceling tours... sad times.
Super good All right question for the masses. When Vulgar Display broke, I believe i read somewhere that Dimebag had given Paige the cords from Rise and told him to use them.. . Seemingly in meantime. To say it another way, the meantime riff is basically Rise, played "backwards...' dunno if anyone can confirm the history
What other bands do you want to see me cover? Sinatra at 7:47 for some reason showed up in my video editor but when I exported it, the title showed up blank. No idea why. Also, here's another band that got lumped in with the whole 'alternative rock/grunge' thing by the media ruclips.net/video/a08NS4hR7Pk/видео.html
KMFDM, My life with the thrill kill cult, Machines of loving grace, 🤣
The formation of A Perfect Circle.
I would like to see you cover Radiohead.
Saigon Kick, Life Sex Death and Stabbing Westward
(Sorry if these bands have already been covered by this channel)
The history of Jon butcher aka John butcher axis. He is/was a truly gifted guitarist/singer. But he never seemed to get the Recognition he deserves. I kinda hoped he was going to be the next Jimi Hendrix!!! He and Stevie Ray Vaughn kinda burst onto the seen and just missed hitting the big time!! I was always a bit disappointed but at the same time the music I did hear from really was top notch.
Helmet "Betty" most underrated album, ever
My favorite Helmet album easily
Betty is great.. I actually like Aftertaste the best. The last of the golden lineup featuring Stanier & Bogdan!
@@slipknotpurity00Same saw them as an opener when that dropped
RESPECT
@@craigpatrick1I've seriously seen Helmet about 20 times, always as an opener 😂
My first concert was HELMET opening up for Faith No More on their Angel Dust tour at the Roseland in NYC..what a time!
Jealous!
I saw that tour myself, in Davenport IA. met Jim Martin and Mike Patton. was great from what I remember!
@@anonymousgoat3669same, saw them at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. Banging show, both bands f'ing KILLED it! 🤘
@@anonymousgoat3669 Ha theres a video on here from Davenport 92 with high schooler interviewing FNM before the show for some local cable show
I saw helmet open for the beastie boys . Same year I saw nirvana. Music was better then haha

Hopefully you’ll have more and more a push a million soon. Thank you for keeping my favorite music a class channel!!! Keep up the great work it is appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh thanks so much! I appreciate that!
More Helmet please!! Theyre one of my favorites. The Size Matters cd has actually been in my car for the past week.
I really admire their “no image” image. Just a group of ordinary looking guys making great music.
Yeah same here
I'm pretty sure that's not possible😊
'No Image' is an image. I understand that you're admiring that they were unintentional about curating an image, but everything is an image, even no image.
So you like boring things. This is not what rock and roll is about.
@@andersistbesser style over substance huh. Do they teach that at the School of Rock?

Betty was rad.

Love this Band beyond words!! Helmet, Melvins, Kyuss & Mr. Bungle are the Most Underrated Bands of the 90s. ❤
Mr. Bungle FTW!
King's X for me being the most underrated.
@trenchy1990 I had forgotten all about them when I responded. I couldn't agree more. I've seen them too in a big setting, a festival stage B if my very old brain works.
Great list.
I've seen all those bands in concert (except Kyuss). Excellent shows!!!!

they're a huge inspiration specially on my drumming thanks to John Stainer!

Helmet is "classic rock" now, sort of. That feels pretty weird if you're my age. 🤣
@@DogSlobberGardens-i7f Lol. When I was a kid they would say “ if it’s too loud you’re too old “

Yeahh
While this was pretty much all about Page, cannot be overstated how much both Henry Bogdan and John Stanier contributed. John's drums are so sick and Helmet was never the same once he left after Aftertaste.
Helmet’s greatness lies in what they don’t play, the spaces between the noise. That and Adidas Sambas.
I saw Helmet open for Nirvana in Seattle circa 1992. Was there for Helmet. Walked out a fan of both bands. God bless music history.
Do you think Kurt cobain liked helmets music and beliefs
I worked security for that show backstage, Tagged Dave Grohl for his pass and talked to one of the lads from Helmet for a bit about the Town. Great for a show I didnt even see
@@Claythargic can you clarify what you mean by you "TAGGED Dave Grohl" please
When I was a teenager I used to play unsung on my bedroom stereo as loud as it would go. Absolutely fckn wicked song.
First time I heard Unsung I thought I'd stumbled across a Black Sabbath or Ozzy song I'd never heard before
Yes sounds like Ozzy for sure
I vaguely recall an interview with Ozzy around that time and it even fooled him, like “wait is this me?”
@burp-v1s Not any other Helmet song that I've heard, just Unsung.
Saw them open for Faith No More in Cleveland back in the 90's. What a great concert.
I almost died in the pit at “City Gardens” in Trenton, New Jersey during that show! Faith No More was incredible as well! They played all their heaviest shit to make that combo make sense.

looking forward to catching these guys on this tour
FOLLOW UP PLEASE!
Absolutely love 'Meantime'. Still blast this every chance I get. 'Unsung' and 'In The Meantime' are monster songs; love love love this video
probably a top ten album for me
A friend of mine played guitar on Symphony #6. I'll have to ask her about the experience. At the time, she didn't talk about it much. Keep up with Helmet!
This band is a perfect fit for your channel.
Peter Mengede the Guitarist on the Strap it on and Meantime albums was from Brisbane Australia . Would have been nice to just delve into that a little .
And his band Handsome was one of the true unknown gems of the late 90s
Thanks for the nostalgia. I remember the first time I heard Helmet... and the shock to learn they were signed on AmRep, which was two miles away from me! Helmet never became a thing in Minneapolis, but I've been a fan ever since. I can go all the way back to "Born Annoying" and it all remains fresh and challenging.
Great vid and info. Learned a lot I didn’t know about Helmet. Would love a Betty vid! Thank you!
I fucking love Helmet. The Betty album kicked major ass!
16yr old me bought this record & wore it out. my Homie & I knew the tunes so well, that we could spend 20-30 mins getting it down on a Tama Rock Star 5-piece drum kit & my red Strat with Crate G20 amp & COBTEK Big Muff Pi pedal. I know we could still rip through a few of those. that was a great time & it got me started on a long journey
Yes, please do a video on the Betty album! 😁 Good video!
Unsung just gripped my 15 year old angsty self like a vice grip and that along with the discovery of Mudhoney, Screaming Trees and ‘Bonecrusher’ by Austin’s ‘Soulhat’ and their new (1994) electric album ‘Good to be Gone’ was just what the good doctor ordered!!!! Frosty had an incredible resume he’d recorded and toured with Sly & the Family Stone, Parliament/Funkadelic, Delbert McClinton, Sweathog, Lee Michaels and so many others it’s been said a short stint with the Band of Gypsy’s too .
Great job would love to hear more!
Saw Helmet at the end of November this year doing the Betty album in full. Flying from Glasgow, Scotland to Geneva, Switzerland and watching Helmet in 250 capacity venue, a top experience.
Defintely need a Part 2. Such a great band.
Yes please make a video about Betty! But I really admire Pages background with jazz and classical guitar! Dude really has a wider musical vocabulary than me lol
Like many people here, they were the first concert i ever went to. Saw them in '94 with Quicksand and Orange 9mm.

Saw'em a few weeks ago in Hamburg. Page was looking great and his new band brought over major attitude.
I still rock Helmet every week to this day.
Same. Working in construction they've got me through some tough days.
Yes more Helmet please.
Yes! Want to hear more about Betty and Aftertaste albums!
I remember hearing Unsung sometime in 1998. Before that, they were just one of those groups whose albums I saw in Columbia House catalogs and always wondered about.
I didn't know any of this - I saw these guys about 10 years ago at a venue in Philadelphia called "The North Star"
They were AWESOME!

Yes, please do a part 2
Rude off of Strap It On was probably the ideal skateboard song.
Yes, more on Helmet pls!
Nice vid, but how can you not cover their album 'Betty'?!
Well I said I was only covering meantime but I can always do a more detailed video on Betty
No mention of them appearing in the Jerky Boys movie?
Amazing content thanks buddy
More about Helmet would be nice!
Definitely so a video on the Betty album, I like that album a bit more than Meantime.
Still have their albums and listen to them til this day.
One of my all time favorite bands. Saw them live 5 times in the 90s.
The very first thing I can remember thinking about Helmet when they first re came out and I saw them for the first time is I can’t believe these guys look like this. They all looked like normal short haired dudes but playing pretty gnarly hard rock. It was very unusual to see back then.
And now, they can't book a 250 seat venue in Delaware. I should know, I was one of 12 people to buy tickets last year. They cancelled the tour.
Man that sucks. It really is ridiculous.... I saw that Beyonce performance at halftime during the NFL game the other day and I just couldn't grasp how anyone could appreciate it. And helmet is out here canceling tours... sad times.
Definitely do more Helmet videos.
Yeah man, a follow up vid featuring Betty, Aftertaste and disbandment would be nice.
Super good
All right question for the masses. When Vulgar Display broke, I believe i read somewhere that Dimebag had given Paige the cords from Rise and told him to use them..
. Seemingly in meantime. To say it another way, the meantime riff is basically Rise, played "backwards...' dunno if anyone can confirm the history
Great video.
Stanyer went on to be a founding member of Battles, where his machine like precision allowed for some really fantastic experimental work.
