I don't see why people think this band is great. The music is weak, and the vocals weak. Their songs are far from memorable. Do people think their heavy cause of that shitty breakdown in their "hit" Unsung? Why the fuck is a great drummer like john tempesta playing with them now? Helmet is Gay.

Dude, Helmet may be watered down, now. But, in the early 90's that band was awesome. try the CD "Betty"

I remember a lot of their songs.

I agree, HELMET are lame, never understood why people like them.

because people have different tastes maybe?

The first few records were great.

Never could get into them, tried numerous times. Just not something I found myself enjoying.

uh everyone can shut the fuck up. Helmet was awesome.

Aside from taking a lot of chances in the 90's hardcore scene that no one else had the balls to take (like Page Hamilton singing clean, which he mentioned in interviews he got a lot of shit for), Page was also schooled at Berkeley, I believe, and it shows in his use of time signatures and various different layers in different keys and such.

saying that Helmet is overrated is probably the dumbest thing i've ever heard....at least this week

The first few records had this great atonal hardcore feel to them, it was almost as if something were always slightly out of tune but it worked in their favor. Definitely a unique style, especially in 1989-1994.

Yeah, They were pretty original for their time. You gotta remember that when the video for unsung came out mtv was playing MC hammer every 5 minutes so helmet was pretty heavy in comparison.

Fuck all that noise, the first record was insane, and they were talented as hell.
