Loved the shit out of Helmet. Saw Helmet play with Manson in 97. I was 23. The club in Atlanta advertised the concert on a Tuesday. I called ahead to make sure the concert was still on. The club told me the concert was on a Wednesday. I kept quiet about it. I was at Ft Benning and drove with my friends to the concert. When we got there. It was maybe 30 people there. The band managers were screaming at the club owner for the mistake. Helmet came out first. The whole time they were playing. The crowd was chanting “Manson” “Manson” During Meantime the lead singer yells. “Fuck you and he kicks the amp off the stage. The amp almost hit me and my friends. Manson came out. It was one of my favorite shows. At the end of the concert. Manson came up to me and asked me if I was in the military. I told him yes. So then Manson salutes me and licks the side of my face! Twiggy thanked us. I told twiggy I knew about the mixup and said nothing. Manson said. We got paid anyway so it’s cool.

Considering my love of _Meantime_ and the fact that its 30th anniversary is next year (man time flies) I contemplated trying to come up with some sort of "What Ever Happened" video... Now that I've seen this I know it would be pointless. Besides the fact that you covered everything relevant your video editing is better than mine and I don't have access to stock footage 😄. Great work, thank you for making this! And I totally agree that they were severely underrated and it was very likely primarily fueled by their plain looks - but IMHO it's still way better than if they had adopted an image that wasn't really theirs to fit in with industry standards of the time. Not that I cared (I actually preferred it that way) but I certainly was not of the same opinion as a lot of other people. It's hard to tell how many people I exposed the album to in the early '90s that had seen a video or two on MTV and initially dismissed it but came around (in a big way) after hearing me rock it a couple of times - especially after hearing the songs that never had any airtime. Great example = as soon as "Better" starts I start to get excited for that *epic* bridge (the whole song is great of course).

I dunno about y'all, but I've always liked Aftertaste the best of their 90s albums. Weird that it's such a footnote.

Helmet was my very first show. My older brother took me to see them at Soma in San Diego when I was 14 or 15. Simply amazing experience!

I was aware of Helmet during the 90s, but I really come to appreciate them, especially the early albums, within the last couple of years.

When the Meantime album came out in 1992 I asked my parents to order for me. I was an 8yr old child. I am 38 now. Still one of my all time favorite albums.

It’s Amphetamine REPTILE Records. An extremely influential Label to be on back then

@FAT COUNTRY Among many others. You should try to find the documentary about the label as well as the guy who owned it. The Color of Noise.

I grew up on that label: check out the documentary “The Color of Noise” if you haven’t. It’s awesome and actually quite hilarious.

I loved Helmet at the moment I heard them. They get dynamics and obviously leaving space the let the riffs and lyrics have room to breathe. Hard not to get up and move while listening to these guys.

You should do a video on Quicksand. An under rated 90's band that was in the same vein as Helmet

Helmet is one of the MOST underrated bands from my youth
