Behind The Vinyl: "Rock You" with Brian Vollmer from Helix

[@247Therocker]

Been a Helix fan right from the beginning. Such a heavy band with great tunes. Never got the respect they earned. Still listen to them daily

[@stevelynch5843]

One of my favorites bands from the 80's and hugely underrated

[@gardenia6]

This video always comes to mind when I think of MTV's Headbanger's Ball. They played the hell out of it, and you couldn't help but sing along.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I love these interviews. Great musicians and songs here.

[@joycetyner7643]

I noticed that !!

[@octobersun221]

Met him at a Helix show...he was super nice and humble!

[@edwardbliss8931]

I want to go back to the 80s and just stay there

[@bodycount7260]

I could listen to Brandon talk all day and rock all night !

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Brian is just a great guy, he doesn't pull punches, one of my favorite people in rock

[@tonymeehan7859]

I agree. I met him and he was just such a friendly down to earth guy. The song still kicks ass today- its an anthem

[@CraftAero]

Summer of '82, Helix had a Beach house (shack) in Port Stanley, Ontario. I was 18 and working the gas rigs on Lake Erie... that was a good summer. Anything else I say may be incriminating to myself and others.

Great #BTV episode with Brian Vollmer of Helix. "Rock You" is one of my all-time fave party tunes!

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

I wore out my copy of No Rest for the Wicked. I know every note, but this is new to me.

[@Trinity101000]

i Love the single Riff in the middle of the song...it sounds so brilliant hard

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

hell of a story Excellent TY

[@michaelgabert7549]

Met Brian at the bank in Kitchener as a 10 year old kid. He lived a few blocks from my house back in 84. I grabbed a deposit slip and he signed it for me in his "Rock You Tour 84" jacket.

[@Discoverhitmusic1]

Great interview & candid facts from Brian on songwriting splits & the music industry, boom!

[@darylhodkinson5369]

I guess so Helix was and is one of the Hardest working Bands in Canadian History ,,, and still going Strong to Day ,,, so Gimme good Lovin and Rock you ..... 2018 who is listening ,,, Wild in the Streets....

[@redrum9484]

Good song.

[@dariawells7438]

This was a great song to sing while swinging on the swings in Grade 4. Love Brian's sunglasses/hat! This is one of the best vids because he doesn't worry that the song is done. He has a lot of stories - he needs to write a book!

[@waynestruzynski253]

Helix was yet another, great Canadian rock band, eh.

[@kerrycampbell]

Cheers Brian thanks @ helix!

[@ryandeanlindgren9054]

cool

[@goldenlarry]

The verses are the best part of the tune!

[@45sguy68]

The last several episodes all say "Watch as Kim goes Behind The Vinyl" in the description. Did Kim Mitchell stay behind and run the camera for all of these? LOL

[@Tbone.357]

I hate to admit it but I always thought this song was by Twisted Sister...😯🤐

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

The pride of St Catherines.

[@derekjhpeterson3882]

I actually went to his grandfather's pig farm with him, in New Hamburg. But I'm quite sure he's from Listowel then moved to Kitchener

[@glengamble526]

They aren’t from St. Catherine’s, though bassist Daryl Gray lives near there. They were a Kitchener based band.

[@michaelcooke8989]

@@glengamble526 I was just telling a buddy of mine they were from kitchener,Ontario. So I work in Toronto, but I always remember my second oldest brother saying they were from kitchener. We lived in Ontario housing on chandler Dr, and they used to practice or live in some grungy looking apts across the street and the highway way was at the back of there building. Anyway great great acts and athletes came out of kitchener,ont.

[@antonmaclean8418]

He looks like a big leprechaun , I seen them before they were pretty good

[@twistedwired]

How people from Kitchener learn to spell.

[@jhonhall928]

Heavy metal leprechaun.

[@CM_Civillian]

Rocking the hearing aids now....

[@glengamble526]

So...?

[@CM_Civillian]

@@glengamble526 ....as am I. Loud music will do that to you.

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

It's not a useful comment, but his screen name makes up for it.

[@vassa1972]

Never heard of it

[@jerbear1601]

What is up with that hat though?
