H E L M E T - Unsung, Live at the Met, Pawtucket RI, June 3 2022

Wish John was back in the band. His snare drum sound was so distinctive.

[@jerrywestermann4435]

As a 64 yr old guitarist,trying to get back to playing,these guys are an inspiration,God bless ya,boyz.

[@paulosicne8498]

I like how Page's voice sounded on the Betty and Meantime albums. From Size Matters, to present, he just sounded completely different.

[@dub5508]

He sounds like he’s whining in the “new era”.

[@paulosicne8498]

@@dub5508 Yep, good description. I remember when Size Matters first came out, in the Citizine magazine described it as: "Page's softer sounding voice sounds as if he's trying to appease to the emo kids". I agree. Not sure why he thought singing in the higher, softer voice was ever a good idea.

[@jayechristian9697]

Probably because he aged? He was already in his late 30s when the band split in 97, not to mention he smoked and drank alot so his older voice just kinda faded in age. I love every helmet album (besides monochrome) but ill agree with y'all, his voice defined the band in the first era

[@paulosicne8498]

@@jayechristian9697 IDK, I saw them after Monochrome came out at this small club called The Troubadour in Hollywood. His old tone would return, but then Page seemed to raise his vocal range, kind of looked like he was doing this on purpose. And it usually takes more effort to sing in a higher octave, than singing in a more relaxed octave. His vocals now are either soft, or gruff. No more in-between octaves. But who knows? Regarding 2nd wave Helmet: To me, it was Size Matters that I didn't care for. Besides the first 3 songs which are good, the album kind of trails off into filler-land. I didn't like Seeing Eye Dog much either. Monochrome I didn't mind as I thought the songs had catchy moments. But again it would have been a whole lot better if his old vocals made an appearance. Cheers!

[@jayechristian9697]

@@paulosicne8498 hey great picks! I actually enjoyed Seeing Eye, thought some of the riffs were going back to a Strap it On kinda jive. And yessir, cheers!

[@grahamdelacey5779]

only one of the bestest bands in the world to ever lay beats on your soul! started listening to helmet when i was still in primary school, started learning how to play their music on the drums just as i started high school... boy were those kids not prepared for what helmet had to offer them! wish these boys were still making real music for us to enjoy. so privileged to have been alive to see these guys with my own two eyes and ears! LEGENDS!

[@Erik_Lake]

A perfect tutorial of this song can be learned just by watching. Thanks for this shot!

[@GamesAlphaGeneration]

Essa música é imortal! Abençoado seja o homem que adicionou ela na trilha sonora de GTA SanAndreas e marcou a infância e adolescência de milhões!!!

[@devastaterx]

A monster of a song.

[@ptklip]

Such a kickass track by a kickass band.

[@OPFOR109]

Still one of my favorite songs.

[@REZNAP]

Thank You for sharing! That was such a great night! *Page swapped out guitars without missing a beat!

[@oldmanwinter9345]

Thanks for uploading this vid

[@marsowtudzki7474]

is it me.. or, is the bass somewhat off?

[@AaronCreech]

Beautiful!

[@Tawper]

This is sick! How loud was it? Judging by the camera shakes I'm sure it was awesome

[@stevenlmas]

It was pretty dang loud, but I wore earplugs. They're touring with Clutch now... definitely worth checking out.

[@Tawper]

@@stevenlmas sweet, it looked pretty awesome. Hopefully they'll come around my town

[@strungth666]

[@CatDad72]

[@tacomas9602]

The OG version was way better. Oh God helmet what did you do

[@sunafukin333]

ヘルメットかっけぇよな…ドラムはバトルスの人が叩いてるのかな…？？

[@nixdapogs]

I can never get the timing on that ending part of this song.

[@Idiot_stick]

Kind of like the bridge thing except don’t come out of on the 6 but ends on the 8 after 3 times lol self taught drummer excuse my counting method

[@nixdapogs]

@@Idiot_stick Haha! I can relate, brother. Thanks for the advice👊🏼

[@brianmacpherson7779]

Does anyone have the actual setlist from the show? They played a bunch of tracks that weren't on the printed setlist.

[@neilhale8626]

Braves 😊

[@neilhale8626]

Good shit men and women

[@kuljb]

Who was on the bass?

[@stevenlmas]

Anthony Trujillo (im sure I misspelled it).

[@stevenlmas]

Tony Truglio formerly of Liege Lord en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liege_Lord

[@kuljb]

Huh, alright thanks for the info. Wonder what happened to Dave Case?

[@REZNAP]

@@kuljb Dave was recovering from surgery

[@kuljb]

@@REZNAP oh I see.

[@bringthatbeatback]

I'm sorry but the way they simplified the time signature change at the end is offputting. this song literally changed how I play, and they kinda just gave themselves a pass? ugh does this not bother anyone else???

[@cletusbeauregard1972]

yeah, that was weird

[@TenableVegan]

Bothers me.. Half arsed effort.

[@eduardoculpi5783]

I don't hear it, maybe at the faster speed they're playing it's more subtle? I'm struggling to notice anything being off, to me it just sounds like the original but faster

[@Krazykonthebeat]

Sounds the same to me bro
