| Helmet
Not Emo |
BW&BK reports: Page Hamilton, the prolific
guitarist behind the thunderous hardcore outfit HELMET, is just going to
assume that most of the kids attending this summer's Warped Tour don't
know who the hell he is � or that his band's back catalog influenced perhaps
half of the bands on this year's bill. But that's fine by him.
"We did the SnoCore tour last year, and
you could see 15-year-old girls who were horrified," he said. "If Helmet
goes over their heads, or is too frightening for them, I can't really worry
about it. Would I like them to like it? Yes. Do I think they would benefit
from it? Yes. [see full story for more]- Click
