My Take
What draws me to Page Hamilton is the contradiction baked into his resume: a Portland kid filed under singer, composer and jazz guitarist who ended up fathering alt-metal with Helmet in 1989. To my ear that jazz literacy is exactly why Meantime and Betty still hold up. Those records aren't just loud, they're architecturally precise, riffs built like someone who studied harmony before he studied distortion. I tend to trust musicians who can cross genres without diluting either, and Hamilton's stubborn, methodical heaviness is the rare thing that influenced a whole movement while staying genuinely smart.
