Page Hamilton appears for ESP
Saturday 3 May saw touring riff legend and ESP endorsee and signature artist Page Hamilton make a rare in-store appearance at Mannys in North Fitzroy.
Page, and his band Helmet, are known for their pioneering heavy riff-based rock and - while Page is known for this style - he is also well-versed in jazz and music theory. Add this to his enthusiasm for ESP guitars, and you had a combination for a fascinating afternoon with a true music legend.
Page proved hugely interesting as he took the opportunity to field questions and enquiries about his and Helmet's music, as well as the guitars - including his own signature Page Hamilton model - and then took the time to sign posters for the fans and even sign a happy customer's LTD Page Hamilton signature guitar (purchased on the day!).
Helmet was formed in New York City in 1989 and released their first album, Strap It On in 1991. Subsequent successful albums such as Meantime (1992) and Betty (1994) saw Helmet acclaimed as an important and highly influential link between metal, indie and hardcore punk-rock.
2006 saw the release of the band's sixth album, Monochrome and a successful tour of Australia in 2007 prompted Helmet to return in May for another successful tour.
