You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any help you can give me!
That is until that crappy teen pop on MTV killed it. Sounds like 1959 after that plane crash in Clear Lake Iowa. In other words, after that tragedy, crappy teen idols took over. Then the Beatles came..
Until about 1996-97. Yeah, it was an amazing time for sure. I was a young kid, but I went to my first shows in 1994 as an 11 year old, and it was amazing, the energy and the living in the moment of the shows. My first big concert was unfortunately bush (go ahead and boo) but still, the entire arena was bouncing around like this, and it was my first introduction to veruca salt, so it wasn’t all bad lol
Also, no one was preoccupied with their phones, or taking selfies, they paid attention and fully absorbed the moment without distractions. The music up until about 97ish was Fantastic. About that time you had your shitty pop music and boy bands starting to take prominence and by 2000 rock music was rock mucus. Creed, korn, nickelback, etc etc. just utter garbage.
When I first saw them on headbangers ball in the 90's that would immediately drew me to them... Oh and the heavy as F sound that came with a new approach at the time.
I remember a Guitar Hero loading screen saying "a band is only as good as its drummer." Each individual person in Helmet is talented, but John Stanier really brings out the aggression in the band with his powerful playing. All the CD's with Stanier are classics.
I am entirely convinced that Helmet is the most underrated band of all time. Meantime, Betty, and Aftertaste are consecutive masterpieces and are some of the best albums of the 90s across all of music. Now, I wouldn't personally consider Helmet nu metal by any measure, but there would be no nu metal as we've come to know it without them. Those air-tight bouncing grooves of nu metal originated right here. Thank you, Helmet.
one of my favorite bands back in the day and one of the best post-hardcore bands ever. strap it on and meantime are two of the best guitar driven albums of the 1990's. man, this song brings back nostalgic memories of 92-93 like crazy.
Same here. ... I remember a friend of mine in high school gave me the in the meantime album and I used to blast that shit so loud lolol.... I remember when I got my first guitar I wanted to learn that the entire album I still remember most of it it's fun as hell to play along with that album, and Betty too 👍😆
38 here. Death metal drummer and loving my craft and loving composing more than ever. Just have to manage expectations and you’ll be fine for the rest of your days
to me there is nothing quite like helmet....they are just so no nonsense, no frills, just about the music an only the music...no hair...no costumes...to me they're like the marines...just get in...rock hard and get the fuck out...to me like no other band they know how to just sit on a good riff just the right amount of time....i hate when a song hits a riff you love and but transitions to something else way too fast...not these guys....they get in the pocket and just camp on it....gives you brain time to move from tactical mode (focusing on on each changing stimuli) to flow mode...allowing your base/primal brain to understand the base unchanging platform while freeing up the higher brain to soar to transcendent levels of consciousness..
@@fairweatherfriends. That’s it, I always remember that performance of Mayday in France (I think...) in 2003 with that drumbeat intro, and it sounds so thumping and well rounded. What a drummer.
@@TheBomber15 That’s funny because I almost put up a link to that exact thing. I know what you’re talking about. I remember playing that drum part and then doing that long snare fill and thinking “ why does mine sound like shit?” Probably my 100 dollar snare has a bit to do with it.
Wow I feel super young here.. This was four years before I was born lol. I wish I could’ve been there. I’m 22, and Helmet is one of my all time favorites. Page is a genius, as are all the guys in this band. I can only hope to see them soon.
It was a good time to be 24! Saw them in a club around this time and earlier saw Rollins touring on End of Silence in a club and Rage touring their first album in a club, AIC touring Dirt, also in a club. Same place as Pantera touring on Vulgar. Gotta say, different genre but Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys was an awesome show. Nuclear Assault on Handle with Care, maybe 30 people were there. Just sheer awesomeness.
This is so freaking 90's. Helmet was always one of my favorites amongst all the giants of their time. I saw them live twice. Once was at the Howlin' Wolf in New Orleans. Such a small, intimate venue. I got my ass kicked like never before in that pit, and I loved every second of it. My shirt was ripped to shreds. I had a black eye and a bloody nose, lost a Timberland boot(found it after the show). Good times!
Awesome drummer always was man....wish the video kept the quality level heading into WILMA'S RAINBOW but hey it was 94' i was 12. Thanks for the window in ...HELMET was an awesome band love seeing some video like this every once in ahwile pop up in my feed !
Bom pra karalhouuu!! Uma das melhores bandas do planeta!! Pena que eles nunca vieram no Rio de Janeiro. Bem que poderiam vir no próximo Rock in Rio....
Põe bom pra crlho nisso! Helmet é sem dúvidas umas das maiores bandas de todos os tempos... Agora sobre vim pro rock in Rio ou algum evento de rock aqui , não creio muito pq eles pegam bandas modinha de público Nutella. Agora rock in Rio é um evento manchado , perdeu totalmente o foco que é o rock , o Medina se vendeu e só pensa em grana. Chama bandas nada ver , fora por Anita , Cláudia leite e cia pra tocar em pleno palco mundo, enquanto bandas lendárias do rock nacional tocam em tendas sunset. Helmet , pro Medina nos dias atuais não dar grana , o que interessa a ele é bandas atuais lixos modinha não importa o ritmo, enchendo o rabo dele de grana é o que realmente importa. Bom , saber que aqui tem pessoas como vc que tem bom gosto. O Rock ainda respira! Tchau tchau.. 😉😎🤘🏻
you might meet these guys on the street and you wouldnt even know they're cool ...(said BUTTHEAD) but you will forever save them in your playlist of happy hardcore
They felt there music not fake they knew there shit fucking rocked and it showed I still feel it herd this song when it first came out hanbagers ball blew me away
There;'s another seven songs in that set... I've never seen any footage but it must exist. The bootleg of the set is incredible, probably the best performance I've heard... The Livid Festival set is on UA-cam, that's pretty fantastic as well.
ages ago i had a very bad audio bootleg from this gig, recorded on a moving device. as for more video, if it wasnt broadcast anywhere it almost doesnt exist, only people with acces to tv station archives might help here. however there is no tv logo in any of those videos and i didnt remove anything, so god knows what the source is. maybe theres other releases from reading 1992, i think if you look at nirvanas reading 92 dvd you could find out...

Wtf is even this comment lmao, this is the most closeted racist shit 💩 the lack of diversity has nothing to do with race at all. Difference in culture and different niches is the reason
I really believe the early to mid nineties were the last great time in music. What do have now, crap I mean rap music. ("music") Whether you want to hear it or not, all crap I mean rap "music" everywhere you go.
@@janhenrikbauer reply to comment comparing Hemet to rap "music." 1) they are playing instruments that took years to master, in rap "music" they're no instruments being played. just downloaded beats. They are singing, o.k. Helmet is not a "ballad" band like Journey or something, but he is actually singing, (sort of). And finally they're are lyrics about concepts. Granted, I'm not really sure what most of the lyrics are about, but that is what makes art great, you have to figure it out, and then you have an epiphany. In most crap, I mean rap "music" there are two themes. 1) I'm so great, look how great I am, I make a lot of money and get a lot of bitches and 2) You (everyone else). suck. That's it.

The pit bouncing during Wilma’s rainbow is absolutely beautiful
"Play to the song, not your ego"
John Stanier personafies what every young drummer should aspire to be.
100% truth my friend.
Fu*king A
I was a drummer in a grunge band back in my younger years, John Stanier was a huge influence.
You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?

I think it's great how NORMAL they looked. Especially back then when a lot of rock bands relied heavily on their image.
I thought the (usually) normal looking bands of the early/mid '90s had killed off makeup, hair, generally weird looks. I was wrong.
The record company wanted them to have an image. They refused.
When I first saw them on headbangers ball in the 90's that would immediately drew me to them... Oh and the heavy as F sound that came with a new approach at the time.
By 1994 all the hair, glamour and makeup was gone.......
Its fucked up they were called hipsters lol csv toadies etc but I didnt give a fuck it was a breath of fresh air lol

and nobody on the phone :)
I was :-)
I was too. I'm actually in the vid at around 40s
I was too! ;-)
And me. Down the front. And The Jesus Lizard that day too. Wonderful.
I was there. This is when Reading was still a great festival.
Helmet ruled, underrated, Saw them at beachside bar in Perth, West Australia. They murdered every person in that joint. My ears were never the same.
Saw them at the lookout Scarborough around 20 years ago when steiner was still drumming for them- that was murder you saw the 'PG' helmet.

One of my favorites......
Glad they’re back on tour!
Wow! So used to seeing the magenta ESP that it is weird seeing Page play all those other guitars. One of my musical heroes to this day.
IKR? It's his trademark.
Seen them that year at Glasgow bar Rowlands and got right into the stage with them lol Amazing days
Wilma's Rainbow was the first song I could ever play top to bottom. As an adult lol! It's otherworldy to rock out to this in my bedroom!

There is Helmet and just nothing else like it. Only Helmet
the acid kicked in as soon as Wilma started lol
That little breakbeat at 1.30
a moving crowd is rare now
I liked back in the day when Page was able to sing like this. His voice changed with old age from Size Matters to present.
Man that riff is THICC
Lol speaking of thick you should take a listen to their song thick pretty fire you can find it on UA-cam
