    Premier Guitar’s Perry Bean met with Helmet’s Page Hamilton on his tour bus before the band’s show at Nashville’s famous Exit/In on August 12th, 2014. Hamilton walks us through his trio of ESP guitars, his simple amp setup, and his modest collection of stomps.
    Hamilton has been associated with ESP guitars for decades. The love of the ESP Horizon Custom eventually morphed into his own signature model. The current trio of axes on the road are streamlined to a single volume knob, a lone DiMarzio Air Zone (Hamilton removes the neck pickup himself), and either a Wilkinson or Floyd Rose trem. The majority of Helmet’s set is split between a silver 2006 ESP signature model with a Wilkinson trem.
    The other main workhorse is a pink 2009 ESP signature model that is relic’d to look like his original ’89 Horizon Custom.

    No one knows how diverse a player he is. He was a jazz muso, played a tour with Bowie, invented tones with Helmet people have spent years ripping off, and his soloing was such a free and musical style over impossible time signatures.

      i wish he would sing like he did in the softer songs from the 90s plus making jazz, he really is amazing. i just don't personally like the new helmet, it's not terrible but i honestly feel like he's capable of more amazing stuff.

    As much as I like seeing all the gear, I really like these conversations. They are just a bit more organic to me.

    Got to catch Helmet on a Metal Alliance tour years back. Hilarious onstage banter and a VERY solid performance. If you guys/gals ever get the opportunity, definitely check them out live.

    Such a cool guy and one of my favorite bands. Haven't seen Page since 96-97 in VaBch I believe. I love virtually every CD except Meantime which I avoid like the plague which is what everyone knows them by. Everything else is soo much better people!!! His music is such I can't turn up loud enough when I listen to Helmet! Note: You need a very good audio system to do this with impact!

      @lern2swim Před 10 lety +4

      It's 2 guys on a couch giving a really detailed rundown of his rig. Do you need to see them standing there, saying the exact same things, pointing at amps and pedals that you can go find pictures of online???

    @mrsticky005 Před 7 lety +1

    Please don't lynch me but I never heard of Page Hamilton until I listened to the Linkin Park song All For Nothing. I am guessing Helmet is his band? Any good songs?

    • @rebeccabroughton3730
      @rebeccabroughton3730 Před 7 lety +6

      mrsticky005 Type in (Helmet) on your search bar on CZcams and listen to all of the music. I am a Black American Woman that loves hardcore Rock music and Metal music too. Helmet has been my favorite band of all times.Page Hamilton is the best riff master of all modern day times.Listen to all of the music that Helmet has and you won't be disappointed.

    • @mrsticky005
      @mrsticky005 Před 7 lety +2

      Ok...but I just wanted someone to name like one or two songs. Like I know how to search for stuff. But a recommendation would be nice.

    • @rebeccabroughton3730
      @rebeccabroughton3730 Před 7 lety +1

      mrsticky005 one song is called (Tic) and (I know). Just listen to all of the album's of Helmet period and you will see for yourself.Get back to me and tell me what you think about all of the music.

    • @uncaaj6242
      @uncaaj6242 Před 7 lety +5

      Some of my favorites are Bad Mood, Repetition, You Borrowed, Turned Out, Unsung, In the Meantime, I Know, Milquetoast, Tic, Rollo, and Street Crab. Those are from their first 3 albums.

    love these rundowns, but please please let the cameraman learn how to use the camera. it looks like he/she is using a dslr with a fastish aperture and the soft focus on the interviewer's face is distracting.

    1:29.. the interview had to stop himself from taking the guitar. Watch his early videos too, he touches all the musicians' stuff. He way too imposing for my taste.
