- Ahead of their national tour playing a career-spanning set, HELMET mastermind Page Hamilton has given SENSE an update on their plans to finally follow up 2016’s Dead to the World. Here's a snippet of his interview with Tom Wilson where he describes his favourite HELMET riffs from the 90s and why he loves them so much.
No one sounds like Helmet.
What does a helmet sound like?

"Meantime" hits just as hard as it did 25 years ago. That's a pretty amazing feat.
This band is absolutely awesome
“Meantime” through “Size Matters” is a god-tier run
Monochrome is dope and under appreciated
@@rubenel7993 I agree 100%…I should have said that. Bad ass album!!
Huge Helmet fan. I always loved how simple the riffs were and just how hard they hit, especially for the time. Still relevant to this day. I learned most of the first few records when I didn't know how to play and they influenced my style permanently. That was almost 40 years ago and I still play. Insatiable is my favorite song.
Amazing Riffs from Helmet!
Always loved Helmet. Wilma's Rainbow.
duuuhhh du duni di du di duhh
Milquetoast was the song that got me hooked on Helmet :)
the bassline in that song is truly infectious and amazing in it's simplicity.
Same…heard it on The Crow soundtrack and was hooked.
Tic is awesome, listen to this song so much.
One of my favorite things to do since I was a teenager is play along to Helmet records and challenge myself to not screw up. Some confusing changes in some tunes but it's so satisfying to get them right. Love Helmet. Love Page. The second side of Meantime album is as good as it gets imo.
I've been jamming along to my helmet records since 1991 and I'm still loving it
Me too. I jam to Meantime about every six months - can still rock it!
Fantastic band, so underrated imo
Several years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Page. He is such a kind person with incredible talent. My baby got fussy and he let her take a nap in his bed. He showed everyone a cool project he was working on. Such a great guy!
That’s awesome haha, I also got a chance to meet him for a second at the end of a show and I told him how much I appreciated his music and everything he’s done and he had a huge smile and was super happy to hear it I could tell 👌👌 he also was very concerned with the welfare of the audience, there was a handicapped/special needed person in the front of the crowd and in between songs he would ask “you doing okay?”
Great, and talented dude, love him 🤘
I never leave comments, but when he says he can't play the riff to In The Meantime live and sing it at the same time and how it makes him frustrated is like an epiphany. I am exactly the same kind of musician and always felt like it was a huge shortcoming. Even the best have limitations like me!
helmet is timeless , never repeated...
Much love and respect for this man, and for the band, so many days, and years spent listening to them, happy to see him. My brother and I had their videos on VHS tapes, recorded from MTV, which was awesome then, that you cannot buy.
Helmet for life
Bangin my head just listening to him say the riffs.
I love Unsung
Me too, great Song!
Great phantastic!
i remember getting my hands on meantime cassette and my dad just bought new technics hifi, i didn't know what i was gonna listen to just gave a spin and boy it was a blast.
One of my all time favorite bands and to me it was the maniacal solos and the endings of songs like Unsung, Give It, Iron Head, Milquetoast, solos on Wilma and Role Model and that I always called The Noize School. 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
'Like I Care' is a great riff. I love the way it collapses on itself
I got to talk to Page for awhile after a live show and take some photos. Helmet is one of my favorite rock bands ever. I play guitar and have a Helmet wrist band 🔥
I'd love to have him as my guitar teacher.
He gives lessons online! ;)
Page made me rethink rhythm guitar, absolute master composer. One of my favs is Speechless, massive groove from what is basically one chord and silence
In The Meantime and Iron Head is the perfect 1-2 punch. The best way to start off an album.
3:40 i went to check Suit-Pee from System of a Down and yeah its the same riff as Bad Mood lol.
Grande Page! Helmet mia band favorita di tutti i tempi!!
Helmet is just timeless for me. Pulsing, repetitive riffs played over different time signatures that sound simple (but are not) draw me in everytime.
Meantime is the only song I know that 70% of it is one note, yet I have never got sick of it. Absolutely love that song.
Glad he mentioned Wilma's Rainbow. My high school band played that at our battle of the bands in front of the whole school. Was a lot of fun.
That would have been awesome! What a riff! - Tom
I'm surprised milquetoast wasn't mentioned. Love the riff leading in and the song as a whole. It's my favorite by helmet
Agreed! They opened with it when I saw them in Brisbane. Blew my mind! - Tom
Tic is overall my favorite Helmet song
Love this and love Page.
Helmet rocks baby!!
role model!!
Saw them last night their songs sound way better live imo. Was an awesome show!
It would be great for a musician to actually love one of their biggest hits. In recording, they play it back and forth for weeks or even months, mix it, change it, over and over. Then, they play it live maybe thousands times. There were my favorite songs end up most disliked ones since I overanalyzed and played them for a couple of days lol.
Iv met Page Hamilton
nice vintage g&l guitar. I like Give It . Any plans to remaster?
Wilmas Rainbow isn't my fave helmet song, but when my tribute band plays it, its always ultra heavy
Some of their music sounds simple-but no one else comes up with anything close, that is a key paradox. The innovative use of chord structures is also important.
Unsung
Yeah, Bad Moon and Blacktop definitely, and Street Crab!
He Feels Bad!
Turned Out
Another Helmut Young book with a Xmas note in it?! I don't know. Namastè.
🖤
So, who’s this old guy talking about Helmet songs?
Surprised he didn't name "Turned Out"
Is that an SC-2 over Page's shoulder?
Yup it’s the one used in the Biscuits video
@@christmeister thanks!
Black Top all the way
