Helmet "I Know"

Helmet (ex- interscope records) live for Warped Tour at Smirnoff Music Center Lot in Dallas on July 1st, 2006. paradeofflesh.com

[@sagan1976]

it's okay to say "the Deftones sound a bit like Helmet" because they did. They don't anymore but they did. Helmet was one of those bands that influenced greatly the mid-to-late 90's metal scene. Especially a little thing. John Stanier's snare drum sound and style of playing were influential to a whole generation of rock drummers. As was their guitar tuning and sound. Helmet still kicks ass.

Stephen prob plays ESP because of Page

[@TFAtv]

"I Know" is one of three songs from the "Betty" album done in "Drop-D" tuned down a half-step (low to high: Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb). "Speechless" and "Overrated" were the other two.

Aka Drop C#

[@organicoregano]

I hate how they preform all there songs in drop c now

[@deadroses19]

@@organicoregano this song in particular sounds better in drop c in my opinion

[@organicoregano]

@@deadroses19now I appreciate it, two years ago I was pretty ignorant, I can now appreciate playing in drop c and it makes singing the older stuff easier

[@rageagainstboxhead]

I love that drum solo in the begining

Betty is incredibly underrated.

[@eevilnate]

By far my favorite song from my favorite band! I truly hope they go on another tour that is >21. Us oldies feel super old at the warped tours. GO ON TOUR GAD DAMMMIT!

[@fabiovc27]

this is my all time favorite HELMET song! and HELMET was my favorite band growing up. i saw them live in PDX and they never played this one. thanx for putting this up.

[@kurtpattyn]

This is magnificent, I Know

[@sonicrolfo]

Anyway, one of my few favourites, and this for all my life, groundbreaking...

[@stew2407]

this is sooo awesome, god damnit, Page is a genious! sooo heavy, jesus i love it!

[@victorn7329]

ROCKS!

[@lukass062]

yeaa, its great that these guys are more about the music, rather than the image rock on!

[@deadroses19]

I love how they look like regular ass dudes with no tattoos, a casual style and outfit, the type of dudes youd see at college studying Informatics or Calculus

[@edccs]

i definitly love this song, and helmet live performance is cool

[@olelain]

masterpiece

Its Metal/Punk Helmet Rules!

YEAHHH, HELMET NUMBER 1

[@MadDann87]

very much good!!! I ADORE HELMET

[@antoinette6754]

Page Hamilton is a survivor of his own will and he bought the band he founded back. Kyle Dan Dave and the man Page.

[@kneedragger81]

Bad ASS Performance!!!!

[@blurplebear8573]

Truly the most underrated band probably ever.

[@reformedstoic1320]

Love both drummers snare sound honestly. Stainer's was higher pitch, I think he used a steel or aluminum snare. This is a brass 7x14. Stainer was a bit groovier as well, both snares sound great though.

[@scipioafricanus72]

Great song, I'd love to see this one live.

[@halfpipefreak]

heaviest song of all time

[@brianreartes6126]

Try Gojira-the heaviest matter of the universe ;-)

Fucking awesome!! I saw these guys that same tour, summer of 2006 at the Warped Tour in Leominster, MA! It was literally 100+ degrees out that day...but it was fucking awesome! Helmet rules!

[@henrygriffen40]

Page is a fucking beast on guitar

[@majorthread76]

tightest band ever

[@bathtubgeorge]

@TheGreatEcstasy, this may be sloppy due to the limitations and lack of dynamics of the recording, don't assume that all of a sudden they forget to play this music super tight, because it's the only it can be played, super tight staccato riffing and odd times signatures. it's great stuff

[@theross1978]

awsome!!

[@terriblecrayon]

@GlueyPorch - AMEN to that!!

[@PanterAmetal100]

I have Ibanez RG420EG with the same colour as Page's guitar! Yeah!!!

[@FURIOUSMCFARLANE]

Insane Grunge.

[@NorthernPanzer666]

@arak2004 It's kind of difficult, to split the vocals, cause often a hole song either contains the raw vocals & Hamilton does not have the same agressive raw voice anymore or the more listenable (for some) tracks with the "singing". Sometimes there is a bit of both sorts of vocals and maybe a present member could shout out the raw singing parts, but Hamilton is the boss & frontman, don't think he leaves the vocals and just sings the softer vocals alone. But he dont sing as raw as before I agree.

[@iwillmaceyou]

haha this stuff was decent for it's time, but john stanier has gone on to join one of the most innovative bands around. Check out Battles if you haven't yet.

[@straggletag13]

awesome song. please reply with said song title.

[@aikido735]

@GlueyPorch yeeahhh,I agreeeeeeee

[@oldcmputer]

Betty was the last thing Helmet released as far as I am concerned. Everything else after was just short of them calling it quits... I miss John!

[@afreshablazed]

1997's "Aftertaste" had incredible sonic depth .. More accessible-melodic infusion - yes .. However the lyrical matter still was meaningfully rooted

[@Nigeman]

"I know" off the meantime album. Brilliant!

[@lloydzarathoustra]

Off Betty*

[@weapondrift]

god i miss this band whatever happened to the good music?

[@TFAtv]

That's "Drop-D" tuned down an additional step (low to high: C G C F A D). On that note (and yes, the pun is intended), I have to ask: old and new alike, do their songs sound better that way, or am I crazy?

[@panzer-head]

It looks like Page is using the (original) old guitar. Note the wear.

[@bogeaqYT]

thier pretty damn heavy

[@kowtpr187]

HEY take that back!!!!Silverchair had to wear alot of other band's t shirts to get street credit!!!!!!

[@bcastine1975]

As one of the biggest helmet fans to ever roam the earth, this is sad to me. Without John Stanier and Henry, Helmet becomes merely avg. The drums completely lack the timing and precision, just a muddy mess.J.Staniers drums IMHO defined Helmet,coupled with Pages riffs and intense vocals it was as precise as rock music could get, an unstoppable force, yet to be matched by any band since.IdK were the hell page found these drummers but they are not worthy to even smell J.Staniers soiled underwear!

[@oldmategio]

Silverchair's frogstomp sound alot like betty

[@gabriel98961]

LOS PADRES...............

[@bcastine1975]

It maybe somewhat tight and Heavy, but you have obviously never seen the original helmet live,like I said before they were far better then anything at the time or since as it pertains to "tight and heavy".This lineup is avg with the exception of Page of course.Its the little things missing espcially on drums, that fail to elevate this to true "helmet" status.Even how the drums are mic'd, weak,Hey its fine you like it,i use too as well,I just choose to listen to the far superior older recordings.

[@bathtubgeorge]

well, i think they'd be an awsesome instrumental band if paige has issues with singing.

[@hoodwinkhiphop]

nah, this is heavy alternative rock id say, like silverchair and kerbdog, it aint metal. My fav music rly.

[@ancestron]

nope i think this song is in d flat.....betty album track 2....i miss John Stanier and Henry Bogdan

[@hoodwinkhiphop]

not the 1st 2 albums

[@Sub1imaL]

why is page intentionally stressing his vocals nowadays?

[@bigchill123a]

+Sub1imaL Ignoring the fact that this video is 9 years old, his style hasn't changed. He's just a lot older now, and his voice has naturally changed over the years

[@rebeccabroughton3730]

+David Copeland Page Hamilton is still a beast of a musician and singer too.Helmet will have a new album out this year at the end of 2016. I can't wait to hear it either.

[@arak2004]

Slayer sounds like Sinatra, if you cough in the middle of saying it. Hey, didnt these guys get some new emo singer that killed the band? I dont understand why Paige just didnt sing. I mean, any one of these guys could have yelled, as helmet was never known for vocal dynamics. Use a present member to yell, let paige sing. If we want an annoying high pitched voice with repetitive choppy guitars, we have the last Janes Addiction album.

[@wrarmatei]

@GlueyPorch lolSilverchair. Insanity.

[@cperry005]

Also, compairing Blink 182 too helmet makes you the ultimate fool... spare us your ignorance.

[@cperry005]

Maybe you should have worn a helmet before you banged your head on the wall...just a thought.

[@kwakedesigns]

Where the fuck is Stanier? New Helmet suck!

[@TheGreatEcstasy]

They may have been the tightest band around but this sounds sloppy.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

well said, Silverchair would get frog stomped by Helmet, not a terrible band but not as nearly as deep or talented.

[@bathtubgeorge]

silverchair are shit, deftones ok, but helmet are the real deal.

[@boobookittybomb928]

nobody sounds like helmet. nobody ever will. the deftones is the only comparison you can make cuz both their lyrics dont really make any sense
