Page Hamilton Wears Only One Helmut - Offers Up Relics for The Rock Gods and Metal Monsters Auction

Initially setting his sights on becoming a jazz musician and moving to New York in the early 80s, Page Hamilton discovered distortion and went a completely different yet highly creative direction. He co-founded the New York-based Helmet, fusing Zeppelinesque riffing with a vehement post-hardcore precision, augmented by dense chords and offbeat time signatures based in Hamilton’s formal jazz training.  The combination was one of the rarest of visionary creations. Page's artistry and musical talent has opened countless doors of opportunity and experiences, but he maintains a singular attitude which as he says is "really conducive to writing songs."

Page pulled out some really nice Helmut treasures for the 2012 Rock Gods and Metal Monsters auction which include stage worn shirts, guitar straps, itineraries, picks, passes and his famous Oakley sneakers that he used on tour with Helmet for 5 years…imagine if shoes could talk!

Here are a few of Page's personal items up for grabs:

HELMET PAGE HAMILTON 2006-2011 STILETTO SNAKES TOUR USED T-SHIRT

Remember that favorite shirt you used to wear ALL the time? The one, that in time no matter how often it was washed, it still smelled a little dirty? Featured here is that shirt, owned and worn extensively on countless tours around the world, this shirt was a staple in Page's stage wardrobe from 2006 to 2011. The shirt is not damaged, though it does show significant wear and staining - especially left side which bears staining from a guitar strap. Also included with this shirt is a pair of well-used Nike sweatbands from Page. Both of these items are truly one-of-a-kinds! Bottom line: it doesn't get much cooler than this for Helmet fans!
