Helmet! Excellent choice. Unsung is the most accessible song on this particular album.The Rest of the songs are bone - crushingly heavy. The leader of the band, Page Hamilton, started out studying jazz guitar if you can believe it
And was part of the group "Band of Susan's", I just found that out. The man has a wide repertoire! Always wanted to get this album but never got around to it, will have to remedy that.
Love this band. Try my best to see them when they are touring in the UK. Saw them just before covid, in my home town. Wonderful. 'Wilma's Rainbow' next, please.
Damn...this brings back memories...I was 22 when this came out...living in my first apartment and ready to conquer the world...lol...Just saying some stuff that others have noted...this whole album is amazing. Worth checking out is also the previous album Strap It On and the following one Betty....as you note the guitar and drum interplay sets up a dynamic that hooks you in. Very kinda Zeppelin....think of The Wanton Song. Unsung got a huge amount of radio play when it came out....at least in my area....Ontario, Canada. I highly recommend the title track of this album and loved seeing your reaction to this. Great stuff as always! And I also thought when I first heard this that the vocal reminded me of Ozzy....lol....
A great song for introducing someone to harder music. This was huge when it came out. Check out the whole album when you have time, you won't be disappointed! Thanks, man.
@@charlieo.possum5501 I clearly remember this tune but the name Helmet isn’t familiar. I guess I thought it was a cross between Ozzy and some alternative or alternative metal band (like Godsmack or Red Hot Chili Peppers) - some hybrid between those bands. But I def hear an Ozzy part before it goes alternative sounding 🤷🏻♀️. Somehow I slept on the band name I guess. Happy to fill in that gap. Lol 😝
@@michelemichele3375 ha, I hear ya...the Ozzy influence is undeniable on the vocals, you should check out more Helmet if you like this song! Great band, Meantime and Betty are killer albums 🤘
My Gift To NicknLex:: The Takeaway:: He Won't Leave Because The Memory Of Her Is Still There...The Shins "Pink Bullets" (Official Music Video A MUST!!)
Living the dream now Nick. I came for Tool now staying for the metal. Gojira, Helmet. Give sevendust a run. I reckon you and Lex would dig Lethean by Katatonia.
Hi Nick, I think maybe my musical tastes have mellowed with age....Says me who listens to Devin Townsend !! ...I'm a contradiction in terms ... I listen to a lot more smooth jazz than in my youth, which was very rare. Like you it was Pink Floyd & The Moody Blues & Yes. I do love rock & heavy metal but it's a case of, I know what I like ... don't say it ... [ Its in your wardrobe ] [ Genesis song ref' Nick ] Lol ... Anyone heard the song "Fire" by Krokus ... That's the heavy metal I like !! Ok I've just seen another of Nicks > Lost Horizon. Going to check that out next. Byee Jim X
Cool band that I actually need to listen to more. A friend showed them to me in high school and I downloaded a few songs and really liked them but never ended up checking out any more of their stuff. No particular reason, I just found other bands that piqued my interest a little more at the time. I think it’s time I finally listen to at least this album in full. Thanks Nick 🤘
Part of the reason your comments are mostly positive is because the both of you are so very open minded. As someone famous (not sure who) said, “the mind is like a parachute - it works best when open”…
To die unsung would really bring you down, although wet eyes would never suit you. Walk through no archetypal suicide; "die young" is far too boring these days.

This entire album and their album Betty are all-time classics in my world!
Yeah! it's my request!
Hope you did Enjoy!!! This was fantastic!!!
I really like that you enjoyed it too. You can't go wrong with almost anything by Helmet.
@@mattperegrine873 Thanks, Matt. How did I hear this but never heard the band’s name?!! Busy decade, I guess. Lol. Great reaction. ✨😊
Thanks for requesting this. I enjoyed it.
such a great band..................
This video was pretty big on MTV back in the day. Very prevalent on alternative radio. The whole album is fantastic.
Back when Interscope expoded.
The only reason I'm here is this album just turned 30. Still a staple of rotation today.

Hell yeah!!! Helmet ! Rock power!!!
From "The Crow" soundtrack you can get a great song from Helmet called Milquetoast . That's how I discovered Helmet.
Thanks, I was going crazy not understanding why it sounded familiar! Milktoast is on the CD, but has a love of similarity.. I love that soundtrack!
Love this band. Try my best to see them when they are touring in the UK. Saw them just before covid, in my home town. Wonderful. 'Wilma's Rainbow' next, please.
This One Has Been On My Playlist Since It Was Released,, With Others Like Danzig "Mother",, Local H "Bound For The Floor",, Etc..Etc.

Glad you loved the end and the chord use. My favorite part of the whole song. It's so good.
I remember this track but thought it was someone else. Haha, my ignorance is huge with this genre. Thanks. ✨😜
Who did you think it was?

My first request
I was in 11th grade! Man this brought back sum memories 🖤🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Singers voice reminds me of Ozzie's voice when he was younger.
It does
Great one, Nick. This song - the entire album in fact - is relentless with the bangers.
Saw Helmet at the old 9:30 club in DC on this album tour.... good times
I think he sounds a lot like Ozzy (not exactly, obviously). Love this song. Totally jamming!
Great Band, never marketed.
seeing them in april at a 1200 seat club ! cromags opening
