Unsung Heroes

Helmet play the Key Club in West Hollywood tonight with opening acts Nick Oliveri & Mondo Generator and Fireball Ministry. I honestly can’t remember the last time I’ve been there for a show, maybe Morbid Angel and Soulfly in 2005, but it will be fun to go back. I got into Queens of the Stone Age a little late in their band history and never saw Nick Oliveri with them or anyone else, so I’ll be sure to arrive early for his set. Reviews from last night in San Diego are that Helmet played all of the 1997 record Aftertaste and newspaper ads for the Key Club gig proclaim that they will dig a little deeper to perform the seminal Meantime in its entirety. I’m always excited going into a Helmet show but knowing that I’m going to hear the album that turned me onto them back in 1992 is an added thrill.
