After watching this my computer installed windows 95

Helmet are great for being a "wow, these guys sound like absolute MONSTERS" and then you see a band pic and it looks like the Yale tennis team.

This song is timeless. 30 years later and it still sounds fresh.

No mercy for the epileptics of the 90s.

I love bands that don’t have any stupid gimmicks or images to them. They just look like everyday people but they play badass music.

"This is Sage and you're listening to Radio X"

If MTV stayed pure we'd still have this stuff today

Anyone 2024 ???

Your contribution was not left unnoticed, Helmet. Been sharing it with the neighbors.

"That drummer looks like a regular guy. If you, like, saw these guys on the street, you wouldn't even know they were cool." Beavis and Butthead

I'm 52. This has been my anthem for the past 27 years. Discovered Helmet in 1995.

In 1996 I flaked on writing a poem for creative writing class so, I just wrote down the lyrics to this son and turned it in. I got sent to the school counselor to make sure I was "OK".

Still to this day I've never heard a better soundtrack in a game than San Andreas.

Helmet paved the road for basically 90% of the bands that you heard in the 2000s .... way ahead of their time!

One of the best individual performances by a drummer on this one.

I was a sophomore in high school when this dropped. It was such a big deal to anyone who listened to rock, punk, or metal. I still jam to this album and Betty to this day.

Playing this song while going 127mph down the freeway is badass. Especially when you're passenger and you're Grandma is driving.

Helmet is one of the most underrated, unheard of, and underscored bands that I can think of. Most people don't know about them, but their CDs are completely awesome from beginning to end. I play them all the time in my car, still to this day with out any desire to skip a single track. Helmet never got all the credit they deserve.

Thank you, Matt from Hillside, for letting me borrow this CD when I was 16. I hope one day you see this comment.

Some of y’all will never know how hard it was to fly down a mountain on a snowboard with a Sony Walkman with the cd skipping blasting this

The fact that they dont look metal impresses me even more.

I was literally trying to search up motorcycle helmets and accidentally found a really good band. 😆

CJ can hear this all day

Helmet is so fucking awesome. Meantime, Betty, and Aftertaste are three of the most underrated albums in all of music history.

This song hits harder than Dads belt.

My favorite song to listen to on the way back to Los Santos after failing the train mission with Big Smoke. 💯

The drumming on this song is just stellar and so HARD. Incredible

Early 90s music was so great.

This song for some reason helps me drive better in San Andreas.

That chunky bass sound of Helmet, Failure, Quicksand, Hum, etc was so iconic in the era. I love this shit.

Absolutely some of the best drumming of the 90’s

As Beavis & Butthead would say, "THIS KICKS ASS!" "YES! YES!"

CJ stay bumpin this track on Radio X

One of the best songs of the Era

I'm 91 and still rocking out hard to this

Fucking nostalgia man, haven't heard this in so long.

The dead not forgotten, but celebrated and remembered as not to forget the beauty of what once was

Great song! Stumbled upon it by accident and forgotten it exists. Lucky me

Unbelivable ,no hair moshing,no piercing ,no tattos all over and pure noise!!! Absolutely legends -Helmet!

This was my shit in 1992. I listened to the cassette on constant repeat for weeks when it came out. I was 16 at the time and semi-homeless, crashing at various houses of skater friends of mine whose parents would tolerate me. There was this skater kid, everyone called him Jumbo, he was a legit midget. Not a dwarf like you see in movies, but a miniature person- normal proportions but just tiny. At 16 he was the size of a 9/10 year old kid and as far as I know, he never grew any bigger. A bunch of us fuckups and homeless/runaway punks and skaters would crash at his place, where he lived with his dad who was schizophrenic or something. He was on medication and usually cool, but every other week or so he would go off his meds, flip out and kick everyone out of the house with no notice and we would all have to scramble to find somewhere else to sleep for awhile. The house was a sparsely furnished mess. Jumbo's room had a mattress on the floor and nothing else. We all slept on the floor except for Jumbo, who got the mattress of course. The walls were covered in graffiti and had a bunch of holes punched through them. It would seem pretty rough to most people but it was paradise for us. So anyways, Helmet's album Meantime came out that summer in 1992 when I was staying off and on at Jumbo's and I listened to the cassette so much while staying there that anytime I hear any of the songs from that album they immediately transport me back to that time and place.

HELMET IS THE REASON WE STARTED OUR BAND

This song takes me back to being 18 years old and having my whole life ahead of me. Sure wish I could go back to 1992! Things were absolutely awesome back then!

Probably one of the most underrated metal bands of all time.

🥁...the timing on that kick drum...🥁

This song is so underrated, nobody sounded like this in 1991

This was literally my jam in the 90s. Hearing this still gets me pumped up.

After five years on the east coast... It was time to come home.

100 years from now people will discover this and say these men were not of this world.... Superb Rock never dies

They go hard. Seeing these guys live at Rockstock '97 at the World Music Theatre, Tinley Park, IL as a 16 YR was awesome.

When you rent out Trent Reznor's basement for a music video.

I miss 90s rock/alternative.

This song represents a time when metal had surpassed heavy metal, but not degenerated yet into nu metal. Good stuff.

I love it when a band doesn't try to have an image. Wearing regular clothes and normal hairstyle, it just seems like they are focused completely on the music, it's great

The stop/start guitar over a driving bass line is the ultimate grind.

Ironically, the title of this song sums up Helmet in one word.

Great example of how a baritone can sing effectively in rock/metal in his natural range without screaming or growling! Killer vocals large in part to his excellent melody writing.

Thank you, Guitar Hero, for introducing me to this song (and the band as a whole).

Much respect to John Stanier and those rimshots. He can make that five-piece sound like a Gatling gun.

Mike Judge's taste in music remains solid after all these years

The badassery of this song is undeniable and legendary.

Just a quick note for the younger fans of this band: It's really kind of crazy for the older people like me who grew up in this era to hear this song again. Youngsters may not know but when it came out Helmet had generated SO much buzz! MTV and other various music-centered magazines like Rolling Stone and Spin had anointed them as the band to change music and talked about them like they were the 2nd coming of Jesus. This band was like a cornered rabid animal with expectations from their record label and the music scene in general that was practically unbelievable. The bar was set so high they could never live up to the hype. I specifically remember someone saying, "Helmet is the next big thing, the next Nirvana". Note 4/1/2023 - I just want to stress that the comparisons I make between Helmet and Nirvana is mostly to do with record company sales projections and not which band is subjectively "better" than the other. Helmet and Nirvana are/were VERY different bands sonically. Nirvana could never have been as percussively heavy and occasionally brutal as helmet, and helmet was never going to write lyrics as silky-clever as Cobain.

this gotta be in one of the best song of all time in many lists out there.

Can't imagine anyone not recognizing these guys in the 90s

Helmet, Mudhoney, & Sonic Youth @ Sydney Uni January 1993. My ears are still ringing.

Thanks in a large part to Helmet for inspiring who we know now as Deftones.

Wicked bass, grew up on this one

Finding life's purpose solutions for nature ❤

Helmet was way before their time....they should have been bigger :/

It has always been, The pause , and the absence of sound, that made this song unique. Excellent.

Bring the 90s back 🤘

what a classic album. I m happy they made it.

My first show ever, Helmet and Faith No More back in the early 90's....I wasn't disappointed

I saw these guys open for Faith No More in 92 and they did not disappoint

It's amazing how a 30 year old song still hits like it was released yesterday. The times when music was made to last. Not like now that you make music for profit.

This song gives me goosebumps in quite a few parts. Absolute favorite on this album. I remember in one of my old bands we used to play this as a cover. Always got awesome responses from the crowds when playing this one. 🤘

John Stainer still killing the drums in 2022. One of the most underrated of all time.

The last minute of this song is one of my favourite moments in music history

I'm surprised these guys never got way bigger. I've seen them twice live & their sound comes off so well live. Very crisp, crunchy & chunky, it just melts into your ears like a chocolate bar in the mouth.

Man, what can I say. All their albums were classics....this one, Betty, Aftertaste. I personally love Aftertaste. One of my crusing CD's.

If you didnt repeatedly watch Beavis & Butthead re-runs in vain hope that you might get to hear/see this song one more time, you've never lived.

Helmet's use of bass has always been the reason why I liked them more than a lot of other Alt-Metal and Hardcore bands. The bass gives their songs a lot more texture

remember hearing this on GTA San Andreas back in the day as a kid, been jamming it ever since

Always loved this song. Finally I know who did it. Thank you for curing a 30 year old ear worm.

Proof that you can dress normally and rock hard.

'To die unsung would really bring you down...'

Gta San Andreas, True Crime New York City, Guitar Hero and Saint row 2. Thanks to soundtrack from this video games for keep this song relevant throughout my life

This song is an unsung anthem of Truth

00:00:40 (Lyrics) Your contribution left unnoticed some Association with an image Just credit time for showing up again Attention wandered I’m left with it Gone by sin too slowly Can’t pass it up Then I thought nothing is right I turned it off To die unsung would really bring you Although wet eyes would never suit you Walk through no archetypal suicide to Die young is far too boring these days Your will to speak clearly Exposed too much Unsung once too often Could not rub off

Nobody writes vocal melodies like Page Hamilton. That's one reason I adore Helmet the way I do.

I forgot how BADASS this is😊

Underrated drummer for sure but can we talk about the sound of the snare. Just so cwispy!

Top 5 of my all time fave songs ever, never fades, never loses pace, even so still relevant till this day. Hits hard, speaks the truth, leaves it's damage if you listen to the lyrics and take heed.

freaked me out when i learned i was friends with the drummer in high school. hey, jon. you were right, i can tell people i knew you before you were famous!

After 28 years not listing to this song , I took this medication once again and again .... I got a damn Deja vu ..♥️ great song !!!!

Damn this song brings me back. One of the best. I had to get on my Frankie Hill and do an ollie.

helmet-prong-unsane top 3 90s post-hc/alt metal underrated bands

Radio x the best GTA radio 🤘

Seriously the final two minutes or so is like a heavy metal orchestra fucking goddamn holy shit!!!!!!

So underrated, and deserves more love.

This band is important.
