Episode 115: Helmet – Paige Hamilton, Precision Grooves & Alt-Metal Power We jump into the world of Helmet this week on The Metal List, counting down the riffs, the grooves, and the deep cuts that shaped one of Alternative Metal’s most influential bands! We break down Page Hamilton's Jazz wizardry, their razor-sharp precision, their unmatchable attitude, and why they might just be one of the best "walking in a busy city" bands of all time. Plus, we dive into the tracks that still hit like a ton of bricks... and, of course, board The Tangent Train. In this episode, we break down: • Precision Riffing & Grooves: How Helmet's drop-D staccato riffs and syncopated rhythms redefined heavy music in the 1990s. • The Page Hamilton Factor: Examining Hamilton’s Jazz background, unique chord voicings, and singular vocal delivery. • City Stroll Soundtracks: Why Helmet holds the undisputed crown for urban walking music and high-energy atmosphere. • The Tangent Train: Riding the rails through our favorite side discussions, musical rabbit holes, and deep-cut revelations.
