Helmet - FBLA II 1994

[@nullc0ntext]

Stanier the drum major and Hamilton the captain of noise rock are deadly. Just deadly. This single track sums the entire band up perfectly really. It's everything you need to know in just under 4 minutes flat.

[@guLizaah]

Let's give a quick shoutout to John's snare!

[@WilliamShannonStamey]

Stanier's drumming at the end of this track has been and will always be one of my all-time favorite drum parts.

[@Naefukabootio]

Shannon Stamey totally agree. Bad people are reincarnated as Johm Staniers drumsticks. ♥

[@Hardvolume007]

Shannon Stamey without a doubt. Well said, and agreed. Seen them recently live. First time since Betty tour. They were ok, but when you've experienced them in their prime, you really see how much was left on the table without the original lineup, especially Bogdan and stanier

[@al1976-v7m]

Agreed totally insane

[@antoinette6754]

Page Hamilton is still a beast and Helmet still rocks.

[@edgarmartinez9251]

That was so cool how page had his fist in the air while doing that guitar solo, i feel like forming a band everytime i see this

[@MarvDawk]

medal to jim hucks for this footage - in theit prime! "short step is mighty"

[@lyeball]

Helmet is still the most intense, powerful show I ever saw.

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

Excellent sound recording for it being from 1994.

[@rebeccabroughton3730]

Helmet is fucking awesome.

[@setlasmon]

[@flexboss]

[@axmaskiller]

[@ministryjunky]

[@gogoyubari366]

[@MrK-wu7ci]

02:28 Where Metal meets Jazz. Welcome to the 90s and style blending as a goal. Helmet: Metal and Jazz. Smashing Pumpkins: Dream Pop and Doom Metal. Soundgarden: Soul and Doom Metal. Bad Brains: Reggae and Punk.

[@lorisharrissfactorpenumbra]

awesome song !

[@Malpractice2003]

Look at the face of Page on the final solo...hahahahahah...gone crazy!

[@rebeccabroughton108]

Page Hamilton looks great at 58 yrs old. Page Hamilton stills sounds great at 58 yrs old too.

[@volscho]

the timing on their songs is the best, jimmy page pioneered the hard rock stop n go riffs, but these guys perfected it

[@NorthernPanzer666]

@ryac259 As the number started that was my first thought..Holy Shit, Stanier is (once again) just awesome..First hit on the snare & its so clearly to hear its his special snaredrum sound & of course always tight as Hell...

[@bcastine1975]

He actually gave me a handfull once back in 95, they are Regal by calalo Quantum 3000. He added a wrap for grip as well.

[@Culito213]

Looks like Page is having fun there at the end.

[@terriblecrayon]

LOL the last 10 second are awesome. Page RULES!!!

[@BabylonCentral]

Drums.

[@kingofthestoneage5]

@ryac259 Stanier is still a beast

[@antoinette6754]

FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America. Page Hamilton is telling us to do is fight against the corruption period.

[@HolyRetribution]

I’m actually in FBLA, I just went to state competition.

[@josef2012]

​@@HolyRetributionUsername/comment synergy is way off 😂

[@HolyRetribution]

@@josef2012 haha lol yeah I guess it is. I take a business finance class so we had to go to state. I think I’m going again this year🤷‍♂️

[@fortheloveoftunes]

3:22 = COOL! .-)

[@kingofthestoneage5]

@Aztek92 it doesn't have a neck pickup at all. it looked like he had an extra trem spring inside of that pickup rout

[@NorthernPanzer666]

@volscho No doubt that the Stop'n Go guitars is Helmets trademark together with the tight & special Stanier snaredrum-sound, which make the songs even more tight. Havent heard much new stuff, because "The Hamilton Project" changes line-up TOO much.The special Stanier-snaredrum is gone & Page needs to work with his vox.I would like to hear him sing "I Know" or "In the Meantime".But Helmet ís Still Bad Ass! Never thought about Jimmy Page "started" the Stop'n Go riffs.Have a L.Z.box I'll check out.

[@Mduenisch]

@kubahobo That's cool. I was the same way when I first listened to SOAD's Toxicity album, now I only care for maybe three songs off the album. Taste changes with time.

[@Mduenisch]

I'm not digging all of Helmet's songs, but what I gotta say I love from what I've seen, is that hamilton tends to change his voice for particular songs, such as Unsung, and Ironhead for examples. To an uninformed listener, they would sound like two different vocalists. I like that, too many singers sound always the same(especially radio bands, which is why I hate them).

[@al1976-v7m]

To be fair his voice is pretty limited but he basically has a clean and distorted channel;)

[@volscho]

@NorthernPanzer666 @NorthernPanzer666 "invented" is too strong a word on my part, but LZ definitely used a lot of "stop n go." Ocean, Black Dog, Nobody's Fault But Mine, etc. Hamilton's use of timing is difficult to duplicate and John Stanier mixes well with it (I like his Battles stuff, though I am not a drummer)

[@indegruv]

@ryac259 was? still is!

[@edgarmartinez9251]

Grunge must come back i hate the decade im growing up in

[@czekiszczak]

Rozjebali.
