ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Two years ago, PAGE HAMILTON singer, ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² guitarist and founder of the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß proto-metal outfit HELMET, was driving ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ around Los Angeles with the radio on. The ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² jock on duty had just debuted the hotly ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý anticipated new track from some n-metal Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß millionaires. Immediately after the ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß airing, the DJ opened the phones for ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ comments from the listenership. There ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² was some expected best-thing-ever ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ fawning, but what caught HAMILTON's ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² attention was the first dissenting ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß listener. The caller said the track was ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ garbage and should be forgotten as soon ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² as possible. The DJ attempted to bait ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý the caller by daring him to tell the Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß radio audience what he was listening to. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß The caller replied that he was playing ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ HELMET in his car and explained how he ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² hadn't heard any rock music that good ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ anymore. Not surprisingly, the DJ did ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² not fight the caller on it. ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ "I thought I was going to hit a telephone ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² pole," says Hamilton about hearing the ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý exchange. "Seriously, it was just a Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß shock to be acknowledged in that ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß context. It made me feel confident about ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ my past, as well as my future." ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ That future is right now. On September ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² 14, Interscope will release SIZE ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß MATTERS, the first collection of new ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ HELMET music in seven years. The album's ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² title refers to, according to PAGE, "An ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý obsession in {American} culture with Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß higher, louder, bigger and faster. There ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß are no rewards {or regard} for integrity ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ and progressive thought anymore." ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² HAMILTON has reactivated the HELMET ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ

ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² CHRIS TRAYNOR (Orange 9mm, Bush, ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß

Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß and former Nine Inch Nails associate ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ

ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² necessarily a return to form. Rather, ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ it's an expansion of the vocabulary ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ

ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ "In the past few years, I've been ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ

ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² illuminating the path that got him to ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý make SIZE MATTERS. "It gave me the Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß

Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß to those early HELMET records and you'll ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ hear that 'anti-songwriter' vibe I had ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² going around back then. I was using my ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ voice as a rhythmic instrument, with ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² less regard for the meaning of the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß

ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² Over the course of nine years and four ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý coruscating albums, HELMET was the Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß vehicle for HAMILTON's reductionist rock ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß aesthetic, a vision that bridged the gaps ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ between underground-rock geeks, ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² cosmopolitan art-snobs and populist ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ

ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Their 1991 Amphetamine Reptile debut ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Strap It On helped define a brusque ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß HAMILTON had remained busy since HELMET's ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ dissolution six years ago. He went to ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² New Orleans to write songs with ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ programmer Charlie Clouser down at ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Trent Reznor's studio. He did many ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß sessions for film scores (S.W.A.T, The ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² on a rock-guitar opera ("Transposed ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Heads"). In addition, HAMILTON recorded Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß with a diverse array of artists ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß

ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß In 2002, HAMILTON formed Gandhi, with a ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ bunch of friends from NYC. The outfit ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² played a few shows, but frequently ended ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý up at the bar after rehearsals. While Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß all this was happening, America was in ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß the throes of n-metal mania, a genre that ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ owes much of its existence to the ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² musical language HAMILTON had developed ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ in HELMET. In the liner notes to ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Unsung, Tom Hazelmyer, founder of ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Amphetamine Reptile, the label that ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ foisted the band onto the world, nailed ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² it when he said, "I think those bands ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý need to fess up where they stole the Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß

ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Having grown weary of traveling between ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Los Angeles and NYC to play with ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Gandhi, HAMILTON put the brakes on the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß unit, and concentrated on writing songs. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ Around Christmas of 2002, Reach 454 ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² singer Rene Mata introduced HAMILTON to ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ

ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² had been suggesting HAMILTON reconvene ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ HELMET, jumped on board, without ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ

ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß chairman Jimmy Iovine called HAMILTON. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ He wanted to speak with him about two ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² things. He first asked if PAGE would ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý like to produce acts for his label. Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß (HAMILTON's first job, the solo album ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß from Bush singer Gavin Rossdale, is slated ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ for release later this year). And then, ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Iovine told PAGE he would like for him ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ to return to Interscope and make ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² HELMET records. "After all these years, ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß I was offered the opportunity to have ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ the band name I started with," says ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² HAMILTON. "That's kind of hard to pass ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý up!" Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß SIZE MATTERS is a powerful return to the ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ kind of fury that raged under the HELMET ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² banner. Recorded as a trio with TRAYNOR ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ on bass, the disc features all the ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² punishing riff economy HAMILTON has ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß built his reputation on, but instead of ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ delivering "Meantime In 2K4," HAMILTON ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² has added more melodic parts for TRAYNOR ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý and TEMPESTA to drive. HELMET 2K4 has Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß all the vision and the energy level ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß needed to stand out in these dangerous ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ times. The disc's 11 cuts offer a ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² plethora of sonic invention and ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ punishing riffage. There's the vicious ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² big-dumb-sex of "Smart"; the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß bone-snapping pit bull disguised as a ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ C-(maj7) chord that's anchoring "See You ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² Dead"; the menacing chromatic scales on ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý "Throwing Punches"; and the closing Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß "Last Breath," which delivers a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß decidedly "old-school" HELMET vibe. SIZE ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ MATTERS is a rare thing: a record made ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² by veterans who haven't mellowed with ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ age, but have no reason to erect a ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² monument to their past. ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ "I look back at those old albums with ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² wonderment" says HAMILTON, "like how we ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý ever played 'Vaccination' without a Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß click track, or why the snare drum ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß sounds on 'Betty' are so high-tuned. The ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ more you make records, the further you ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² want to go from your previous work. ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ SIZE MATTERS is merely an extension of ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² it all." ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ Former Anthrax bassist FRANK BELLO signed ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² on to fill the bass slot so TRAYNOR ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý could return to his guitar duties when Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß HELMET tours in support of SIZE MATTERS ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß later this fall. HAMILTON is joyous about ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ how the new disc turned out, and swears ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² by the work TRAYNOR and TEMPESTA put ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ into it. He is also well aware that ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² some people will bristle about the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß absence of Henry Bogdan and drummer John ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ Stanier. (Bogdan lives in Hawaii and has ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² left heavy music behind, while Stanier ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý does time in two bands, Battles and Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß Tomahawk.) ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ "They were great musicians," says ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² HAMILTON. "I knew back in 1997 that we ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ needed a year off. We were getting on ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² each other's nerves, but I wasn't ready ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß to quit. People can hear those old ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ records and there's a certain kind of ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² nostalgia attached to them. But really, ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý it's all about the vocabulary of the Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß music," he continues. "I think if you ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß found someone who had never heard HELMET ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ and played them a track from Aftertaste ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² and the new album, back to back, they ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ would think it was the same band." ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Like every person who bemoans the state ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ of today's rock culture, HAMILTON didn't ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² sit at home and bitch about it on an ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Internet bulletin board: he went out Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß and redressed the balance. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ "I still like rock music," he says. "I ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² love to plug in and have the volume ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ surround me. But there's not a lot of ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² rock out there that's inspiring. ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß There's still hope: I got turned on to ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ the Dillinger Escape Plan, because as ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² soon as you hear them, you can tell they ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý give a fuck. They play with passion and Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß not some vague notion of being ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß rockstars. Part of the job of being a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ musician is to have respect for the past ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² and help bring things along now, and do ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ something special. Whatever's trendy ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² or whatever the kids are buying, I ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß won't be doing." ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² And if you're that guy who called the ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý radio station all those years ago, or Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß if you found no reason to go to a record ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
