Killing hurts
Has to be done
Peace and love
And who’s number one?
The right to give
Learn to bleed, it’s free
Pain is outside
Lift it up to see
Step ahead
Always wear the past
Dying, soothe me
Beneath the smell of grass
No world secret
Kept is too intent
I’ve got my nerve
Self-help, self-help confidence
Confidence
Confidence
Confidence
Confidence
Confidence
Confidence
I hate when people compared Helmet to “Nu-Metal”. Sure they use heavy “chugga chugga” riffs but this is a really, smart, aggressive, band who understands the space between the notes. They’re total noise rock nerds. I would compare them to bands like Unsane, Melvins, Season to Risk, Glazed Baby, the Jesus Lizard, etc.
Helmet has been one of my top 5 bands of all time since age 15 (1992). They continue to be, and their first three albums (especially Meantime) hold up very, very well. Give It is one of the best tracks on Meantime and that’s a very high standard. Just saw them live a couple of weeks ago (Nov 2019)for the first time in 22 years and Page is still brilliant. Thanks for posting this video.
