B VERSION, ALTERNATIVE VERSION, DEMO VERSION...whatever you wanna call it, its Unsung. There was a unique video shot to this version, but its not on RU-vid anymore. Upset days.
Page mandated bass played with a pick was a genius move. So completely fit the tightness of their attack. When Frank Bello is okay with playing with a pick, you know it’s gold.
Fuck all the 90’s bands that Helmet influenced. These vatos are triple OGs and Deftones, chevelle, SOAD, Etc etc need to acknowledge Helmet was their daddy
So many bands did better versions of their songs when they did Peel sessions. Was it a better production team? Was it because they were rushed? Who knows, but I generally love Peel session stuff!
"There was a unique video shot to this version, but its not on RU-vid anymore. Upset days" What do we need to do to hunt it down? We that make up Posterity have some kind of obligation to keep this kind of thing alive
seen HELMET several times (90's) but I got to say none better than when in 1991-92 opening for SEPULTURA & MINISTRY in S.F it was an Awesome night show. Still love these guys and Quicksand, Nudeswirl, Surgery and Sugartooth. yeah I know, only one of these even comes close to Helmet. Quicksand. DefTones were also close but ... no Cigar.

Only 4 songs were performed. I uploaded 3 of them on my old account (this one, Rude, and Sinatra). The 4th song is Your Head, which can be found in better quality on Born Annoying.
I don't like this version - it has too much static. The video posted by Noble the Heathen has it clearer. I guess cause it was ripped right from a vinyl. this version sounds pretty lo-fi and garbled.
