On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman speaks to Page Hamilton from Helmet live at Aftershock, in Sacramento, California.

Page starts by talking about how impressed he is with how far Aftershock has come since the first time they played it, when it was a gravel dusty parking lot with a porta potty a mile away from the stage. He says they seem to have taken some tips from European festivals.

The guys touch on the pandemic, talking about the psychological effect the pandemic has had on them as they’ve been touring for so long, and then to suddenly stop was a shock to the system. Paige says he took touring for granted.

The guys move on to speak about the struggles of being at festivals that people may not realize bands have to go through, whether it be sound issues or an array of potential problems which are out of their control, which just makes it all the more satisfying when you come to an event like Aftershock and it’s run so well.

During the pandemic, the guys did their first live album, which is something they’ve wanted to do for a while and required a lot of work transferring tapes and getting everything set up, but the pandemic allowed them to have the time to do that.

Pipeman finishes off by asking Page about a story he’s going to tell when he’s 80, where he talks about meeting JP the drummer from Clutch along with a couple other anecdotes from their years of being together.
