the post-helmet database of 90s alt-rock bands copping staccato/modal/minimal riffs

Oh yeah, of course Pantera.

Pantera - who made a turn toward that chugging style in 1992 - were definitely accused of ripping off Helmet on "Walk."

"Possum Kingdom" is a good one, I never thought of it that way, but yes

I really want to do a DJ set of post-Helmet groove alt metal and post-Onyx yell-rap

Like, if these kids can get rich doing emo night DJ sets, why won't anyone pay me to do judgement night DJ sets

the only green day song i have ever really liked:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNq9gmY_Oz4

and i totally love it because i love meantime.

well, the first part anyway. not the punky thing at the end.

this is totally one of my top 20 rock singles of the 90's and its because i love helmet AND bow wow wow.

Wow, I tooooooootally forgot that Silverchair song. That's exactly what I'm looking for itt

Can Collective Soul too! Thank you Spottie for understanding me.

Deftones song is more like this other proto staccato/modal/minimal alt-metal signpost

is this isnt shitty post helmet staccato riffing then i duno what is

this one is more helmetty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McdWoeoO0kI

this little way of riffing opened up so much in the 90s and I have no idea how contemporary band like Wrong just wants to do Helmet cosplay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiQ5igNwmdY

damn thats really terrible

Always felt that QOTSA were Helmet inspired

(but not 90s, soz)

That Galactic Cowboys "If I Were a Killer" tune also touches another mid 90s sonic thing with the AIC harmony in the chorus. Hadn't heard that one before.

I'm determined to nail this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbXciBKcfQ8

perhaps more pre-Rammstein than post-Helmet

xp "No One Knows" does kinda sound like this Helmet song released 2 years later https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcGYkLbVMhs

wrong is great imo but yeah, helmet cosplay

The Wrong album is really great actually. It's a melodic Meantime for sure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ace_0UpQ0MI

hahaha holy shit that Smile song, I haven't heard that in like 20 years.

even the lyrics are simple...he's staring at the sun, he realizes he shouldn't have stared so long cos now he can't see at all!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI3QmT0TOHs

it gets more traditional Sponge tho by the pre-choruses and verse

Just a remindah that Unrest did it first, better, and with a sense of humor! (my theory is that Wharton Tiers played the Helmet guys the tape, when they came into Fun City to record their first alb):

(btw - I'm just kidding about that last part - tho I did mention this point to M4rk once, and he was like, "yeah, huh?")
