Helix-Make me do anything you want

[@davidrichter9164]

This was one of my late wife's favorite songs. She passed away in 2000 of systematic cancer at 28 years old. Can't listen to this without tearing up. Great band, great song. Love the original too. Won't forget you Kellie. MYMLYL.

[@markturple]

So sorry man ..my favorite song...hope it brings good memories for you someday

[@davidrichter9164]

Thanks Mark. It does bring some good memories but makes me sad too. Seen these guys in concert a few times and really enjoyed it. Not just a great Canadian band but a great band period.

[@donross9226]

I came here from the original by A Foot in Cold Water. Helix did such justice to this song.

[@sammycircle]

Say what you will but I live here in London On Canada and Brian Volmer, the lead singer lives a few blocks away, and you can knock on his door anytime, he turns no one away........calls his house Planet Helix which is really a museum to the band and Rock Metal in general........He and his wife Linda make you feel like family......very down to earth person is Brian.

[@bunsfortheblind]

Classic guys, great to party with, never bad or perverts, just good rocking guys to party with after a show, seen them a lot when I was young!

[@tusk5291]

That is so cool! There ain't no rest for the wicked was a fav; then the follow-up Long way to heaven...wow. So great to hear that he's as cool as I'd hoped!

[@chrisplume8958]

I met the lead guitarist in Calgary Alberta Canada in November, 1985. The autograph he gave me was inscribed with the words, " It's a long way to Kitchener." We met in a bar called Ranchmens. Several good looking guys with long hair came into the bar. One of them approached me and asked if I was from Calgary? I informed the guy that I was in town to attend a concert the following night. I told him the band was called Helix. He smiled and said he was the lead guitarist. "If your the lead guitarist then give me your autograph on this sheet of paper," l laughed. I was pleasantly surprised to see Brent on stage the following night. To my surprise he signaled me out from the crowd. Great memories. Thanks, Brent!

[@DennisMaxwell-hf9ql]

Yo that’s cool as shit. Good memories

[@Frankopinion]

Ahh the 80's... great time to be young.

[@clufster]

With as many hits Helix had I'm suprised this song didn't make it more mainstream. It's one of the best songs on the album. Excellent video and production. The vocalis sings effortlessly. Love the video because all the musicians are just unpretentiously and masterfully doing what they do to make the song completely awesome.

[@zt3811]

I'm obsessed with this song. Especially love the guitar solos and him dancing in front of the drummer and his brilliant voice repeating the chorus with different variantions. And the the sweet ballet dancer just adds to it. Beautiful song.

[@marcosorvino3561]

I've been jamming this on my Drums!! 2024

HELIX is such an awesome band.. and this song and video proves it.

[@colddjinn7839]

I had the great experience of seeing Helix at a dance at my high school in the early eighties. Brian Vollmer lives a half hour away from me. God i miss those times. I'm glad that i'm not a teen now. There are no bands now that will be classics in a decade or two.

[@colddjinn7839]

Sorry, i grew up a half hour away from Brian. He and his wife live in London now.

[@stevendorsett1517]

In all my life, listening to different metal / lipstick rock and others, I have yet to hear a powerful ballad as this one. Even after 30+ years, I still enjoy the hell out of it.

[@donaldlowler6842]

I wish I could go back to the 80's my youth again so I could appreciate it the 2nd time around.

This is just one great rock song.....case closed...RIP Paul Hackman!!!! Missin you brother!

[@petecsanky]

It is with deep sadness that I must inform you all of the passing of Paul Naumann, lead guitarist for A Foot in Coldwater (this is a cover of their original by Helix). He passed in his sleep on October 20, 2009 at his home in New Mexico. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his son Paul Jr. and Hannah his daughter. R.I.P. Paul - we will all miss you......

[@johnc.8298]

Interesting that the lead guitarist in this video, Paul Hackman (dark hair) has also passed away. Paul was asleep in a van driven by a roadie back in about 1992 or 1993 in the Canadian west. Driving between gigs it seems the driver fell asleep and Paul was killed when the van left the road.

[@KendallsFather]

Paul Hackman R.I.P. A great Canadian guitarist.

[@rigdigger27]

Great Great tune, reminds me of when things meant something and songs held memorys in a place deep inside you that only songs like this could open, like the one who got away.... old Brian Vollmer would have been in his 30's here, the coke swager and nerdie shy girls half his age really brings out that feel of the 80's to me. they did a great job covering this tune and one of my alltime favorate songs ever to this day, top ten rock balid of all time. love that swager Brian, you perv

[@dongraham8236]

Helix...house band for Clancy's Tavern in Darkness, NS...circa 1981 - Brian Vollmer gave me a T Shirt "Helix Raunch N Roll...they went on from Brian hanging off a set of monkey bars to a stadium powerhouse after touring Europe...I remember them as a really nice bunch of guys...
