Page Hamilton is a Funny Guy

I've been a fan of Helmet ever since I heard "Meantime" back in high school. My musical tastes have evolved quite a bit, but I still dig their heavy, angular sound. Helmet has undergone a few lineup changes (and disbanded and reformed) since 1992, so I was wondering if they still had it.

Anyway, I just found a live Helmet show from 2004 from my favorite goldmine, and it's a gem. Heavy as ever, and a good range of songs from most of their albums. I hope they're still playing shows by the time I get back to the US.

The biggest surprise is how funny Page Hamilton is. Check out some of his wit (and the crowd) - Helmet - Unsung (live in Cleveland).
Definitely an impressive handling of a drunken, rowdy audience. Enjoy...
