    the most hilarious thing i've gleaned from his interviews is he's like a normal dude who got famous and hung out with a ton of other famous people, but never saw himself like that. super down to earth and humble, almost awkward. i love it though

    Finally years later Page is getting his due. A man 20 years my senior in 97 on the Aftertaste tour was cool enough to sit outside St Andrew Hall in Detroit with Helmet and just chill on the curb and talk to a handfull of us for an hour (Danny Carey having done the same, just three years later) speaks volumes about what kind of people these cats are, we're all musicians speaking the same language nerding out. He is my Hero the way Bowie was to him, and got me to start playing guitar.

    Grohl also did the drums for "Song For the Deaf" with QOTSA in the same way. Drums first then played again using practice pads and recorded the cymbals. Such an awesome talent.
    Great insight with Page in this interview. I saw and heard Helmet for the first time in Melbourne around '94. They were tight, powerful and loud - super impressed and life long fan from that point.

    great interview absolutely excellent research and presentation.
    saw helmet a few years ago on the Betty tour, it was a dream come true, amazing playing in the tiny venue in west hollywood, the viper room, right up front with sweat and spit from the band, absolute blast of a time. hope to see helmet again in the future. hamilton has mentioned elsewhere somewhat-jokingly that he doubts his previous jazz professors have any opinion of his very successful albums, probably true, my jazz professsors sure dont have high opinion of my metal songs. other than that ridiculousness of music school, hamilton is a great inspiration for studying music formally. didnt know hamilton was teaching at school of rock, didnt he mention that at the end, if so, he should know that the school of rock forces students to sign liability "no right to sue us" waivers such that when (WHEN, not IF) students develop ear damage from the school of rock's poor instruction in continually cranking volume of PA's and guitar amps and hitting drums as loud as possible, the corporation is not responsible for the student's permanent ear damage.... highly unethical and harmful practice for a music school or music franchise.

So yeah...Kristen Pfaf of Hole (who unfortunately died of an OD) was from our hometown of Williamsville in case you weren't aware. Anyway I'll digress. Great interview bro.
