@@buckfuttler2877 Nice fucking username lol I think it's Saints Row or SR2 some NPC exclaims, "My man!" when you're walking past him on the street. Lmao, good times.. they should have had a Helmet song in SR now that I think about it; fuckin hell.
Now this is music....the groove is nasty and catchy as fu*k! The drums pounding, the bass rumbling, the guitars funky...what a band, and Betty is a hell of an album.
Iron Head-Ed you should really get into Deftones. Deftones and Faith No More helped me appreciate all kinds of music looking for more as I got older. Discovered Helmet thanks to GTA: San Andreas however. Own their first 6 LP's because of it
Funny how everything's been fun since I discovered Local H, then Hum, Paw and last Helmet. These bands are pure gold. 90's Alt rock has everything a true rocker wants.
Served up in the backyard Cooked too long on high Flying out the window Even dogs have passed them by Didn't know she was tied up Better fed than forced Time to meet the protagonist, boy He never showed remorse Choking on the one thing His tongue had gotten too fat A barely walking dead man Seemed to know where he was at Drive himself to the airport Getting out of here Overworking the small town The law couldn't get too near Come on smut You might've stayed
Biscuits for Smut’ "The riff was an accident. I was visiting my family and I had a beautiful blue G&L guitar with me that I had just put new strings on. I picked it up a half-hour later and it was tuned to an open A7 chord. I loved the sound and the feel with that tuning, and I immediately came up with the harmonic thing at the intro. The lyrics are kind of a combination of a few things. My grandfather, who we called Grandpa Bones, had told me a story about his dog, Smut, that he had growing up in Oklahoma. One day his mom - my great-grandmother Momo - made some biscuits, but she overcooked them and they were too hard so she threw them out the door for the dog. I liked that idea. Then I started thinking about a serial killer story, and I just put those two things together. I wrote the song in about 15 minutes."

@@TheAtoldasROCAS O Helmet é bom exatamente por já ser fora da curva, desde o começo na formação original, até os dias de hoje. E fora também a consistência no som deles, videoclipes, shows ao vivo, conteúdo raro, tipo músicas que não saíram oficialmente nos álbuns, e por aí vai
I remember when I worked at foot locker in the mid 90s, we had televisions with company videos. And one of those videos was Helmet. I'd blow of customers every time the Helmet video came on😂
Fuckin deadset the most underrated band of the nineties You blokes never leave me. Your songs will be played at my funeral as well as other artists but I do love watching people scratch their heads. I have a copy of Betty and if that cd could talk that thing done laps for decades! And has returned and that’s how I know it’s love. I wish HELMET the best. 🍻
Jazz trained bands always seem to have that pocket groove.Helmet and Living Colour are 2 that come to mind.If you listen closely to this song it's a jazz tune

Both are tight as fuck. My initial reaction was Fuck No. But then i thought maybe. These guys id say are one of my faves. Where as Primus is not necessarily. I saw Helmet twice. But it was the Primus show i claimed personal top 5. Then again i hardly ever play Primus but im here in this Helmet shit. Fuck I think i ate the wrong pill maaaaan
All Helmet fans are my people!
of course
my man!
My guys!

The riff from Ironhead changed my life.

This song has such a killer groove it's sick.
That bass tone is just insane. What a cool groove. And i love how the snare is cutting through.
hell ya its so good. slimy bass tight snare and drums. love the sound they achieve.
Their snare was one of the tightest of the 90s.
@@andrewneedham3281 + the hi-hat man. uh uh, so candy and crisp sounding.
funny thing is that it isn’t even a bass guitar it’s the G&L Page is using drop tuned down an octave or something
@@christmeister so this song does not have any bass?
Waaaaaay underrated band.
Here's another "underrated" comment. I think Helmet were rated pretty high for people who knew music.
Very underrated
@@KamenKunchev agreed - highly rated by those that know
The degree to which lesser musicians plagiarized them is kinda mind blowing
HELMET RULES
The drums alone at 1:48 are worth the price of admission.
Stanier's drums are some of the most brutal I've ever heard.
Totally right
Come back 90's alternative, we didn't mean it
Sad... But true
Who here was rocking Betty in 94?
Dave Thomson Still rocking it today! Even got my teenage sons passing it on to their friends.
44 years and still rocking
We did
Meantime and Betty were staples in HS and beyond.
@@cyricnosferat227 Monochrome for me as well as Betty and Meantime.
I thank the Deftones for covering Sinatra and getting me into Helmet, these guys are fucking awesome!
A great band covering another great band always sounds great!
Iron Head-Ed you should really get into Deftones. Deftones and Faith No More helped me appreciate all kinds of music looking for more as I got older. Discovered Helmet thanks to GTA: San Andreas however. Own their first 6 LP's because of it
Chevelle covered (High) Visibility too but I gotta give it to Guitar Hero for introducing me to the awesomeness that is Helmet
The Melvins are another great group that lead me to Helmet
meantime and betty are one of the best bass and riffs albums ever created
Saw these gentlemen in a bar more than once. Bloomington, Indiana. I feel bad now for the bar owner. We tore that sh’t up!
Funny how everything's been fun since I discovered Local H, then Hum, Paw and last Helmet. These bands are pure gold. 90's Alt rock has everything a true rocker wants.
such a crispy breakdown at 1:40. one of my favorite Helmet moments.
It's beautiful, something you can only expect Helmet to pull off as well as they did.
Couldn't agree with you more.
@@nobbynoris 🎸🥁🤘
I can clearly see Korn's inspiration in Blind
@@DC-gs7bz i believe both songs were written sometime in 93-94.
gotta love the music videos of the 1990s
I agree. All Helmet people are ours.
Can’t and won’t ever get tired of this song or this band.
Same!
Served up in the backyard
Cooked too long on high
Flying out the window
Even dogs have passed them by
Didn't know she was tied up
Better fed than forced
Time to meet the protagonist, boy
He never showed remorse
Choking on the one thing
His tongue had gotten too fat
A barely walking dead man
Seemed to know where he was at
Drive himself to the airport
Getting out of here
Overworking the small town
The law couldn't get too near
Come on smut
You might've stayed
👍
Turned this on loud speaker, all my neighbors went out of their houses and started jumping in their driveways!!!!
Lol, I know I would have! If this tune can't get you the fu*k up and start jumping around than nothing will!
#2 on my all-time list. HELMET's music will live forever as powerful, "bring-it" jams.
This is such a grunge classic. 90s written all over it
God that bassline is killer. And that guitar riff is haunting
Imagine how crazy is to play in a band that good. Must be insane
I just never get tired of hearing this song.
Same here!
So glad I can listen to whatever I want. Reject modern music embrace this music.
Lmaooo calm down
This song is a masterpiece, very metallic sounding like it was made by robots in a rusty industrial factory.
This songs kicks ass. Betty is their best album

One of the best songs about a dog ever. x
Best one is Jessie by Paw
@@robnewson6262 Ahh fuck, I forgot about Paw. XD x

HELMUUUUUUUTTT!!!!!
That bassline is sick!
Perfect band. Philosophy, social commentary, damn tight instrumental. No rival, especially in this day and age.
Rod Alexey tightest
there's a Nirvana interview somewhere on youtube from Reading fest or something and you can hear Helmet playing in the background.
Crazy when you realize that we live on the same planet where such things occurred 😂
Where can i find it?
Just discovered helmet right now. I dig them!
the cool part is that they just look like regular everyday guys but they play this incredibly heavy music
These guys are rad.

Really interesting techniques with this video. Rotoscoping, stop motion papermation, even a PXL2000? Cool stuff.
The original Snapchat !
Reminds me of early Toy Machine skate videos --- Ed Templeton's creativity on and off and all around the board. . . the 90s were chill
I love how the fans are with the band there, dancing and jamming with them as well. That Page smile at the end of the video is cool as hell.
Such an addictive riff!
There are so many tones but bass and drums just kick ass. Thick with a punch. Love it.
Hamilton+Bogdan+Stanier= Best Band Lineup Ever.
dont forget Rob and Peter man!
Gotta love this video... and the great song of course.

One of my all time favorite song titles.
HELMET RULES
Awesome solo!
great track. love the dog in it :-😀
2024 anyone here? Damn this song hits
Always
its weird to think what type of music was out in 1994 the year i was born, wish i was my age now back then
I wish it was still the 90s
I have this album.I bought in 1994 and my favorite song is Milquetoast.I love dogs.
Song has nothing to do with dogs It’s about sodomizing a girl with bdsm

Épic Band! Greetings from Brasil
🇧🇷
amazing band, this is almost primus-esqe. and john stanier is a beast

All of our dads were in a metal band and it was named Helmet.
I first heard this wonderful song on my local college radio station, it so Way rocks.
THATS A NICE DOG SIR
one of my favs when this cd came out back in 90's.
my new favorite band. the music and videos just seem to flow....
YES!!
He plays the riff on a fretless bass?!?!
Wow,makes it a lot more crazy, to me.
I saw it here for the first time.
Criminally Underrated
Wow
I always got a kick out of that wink at the end
Helmet é muito bom. Todas as músicas são ótimas.
Eles popularizaram e inspiraram mt bandas grandes...
biscuits cover the killer character. if you wonder.
If you do not like Helmut you dont wear one
This video reminds me of the art style of SSX On Tour if anyone remembers that sweet game. Helmet kicks ass!!!
8th Grade when this came out. The Cover was so untypical for the time. It made alot of people listen to this and created helmet fan
I go to see Helmet tomorrow in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. Hope they play this song ;)
Come on Page !
Love you guys, always have, always will!!!
Reduced my mind to dust when I was 13, still does to this day
My favorite Helmet video ❤
Uma das bandas mais subestimadas que existem
Lost count on how many times I’ve seen them live.
BRASIL LOVE HELMET 🇧🇷
HELMET FUCKING RULES.
Tak jak mowisz Andrzeju rules
90's FTW
i love my helmet
Best Helmet Song! WILDWOOD WDOX !!! STILL MISS YOU!
Shame that this is not on their greatest hits.
Helmet - Biscuits For Smut
For years I thought he was saying "My mistake".
Sad that his voice changed from the old days. Was super killer but in current days doesn't sound the same.
A bass guitar doesn't have a prayer with these guys!
Ever since first hearing this song in the 90s, I’ve always wondered what the conversion rate was.
Cmon,Smut. I mightve stayed
Dat riff
@takeitsleazie great idea, Tom is a great guitarist, and between them all they would have the most formidable collection of hats in rock!
Such an awesome band! Don't want to sound like an old twat but music really was so much better. Mr Hamilton I thank you!
#Smut might of stayed....
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The fact that random people are dancing with the band in shitty weather when Page is rocking with his hat and coat about his dog is just cool as hell.
Sem dúvidas, uma das melhores bandas da história 🤘🏻
BOW BEFORE THE MIGHTY HELMET!
Has a Red Hot Chili vibe.
Good shit.
Give it away
Killer band!!!
Stanier, Bogdan, Hamilton... I feel a tshirt coming on!
Am I crazy if I think Pantera and Helmet are the two faces of the same coin?
rock
