Grant’s Rock Warehaus: Helix – Part Three: Rock It Science w/Tim Durling & Mike Ladano

And finally we come to the present of the Helix saga, currently right up to the “Brother From A Different Mother” single. Thank you Grant for allowing us to bring the world up to speed on Helix. The Trailer Park Boys had a huge impact at this time, and though Helix suffered numerous lineup changes in this period, they also had some triumphant reunions with classic Capitol era members. It also featured some successful collaborations with Sean Kelly among others.

Please enjoy the third and final Helix special on Grant’s Rock Warehaus!

  1. Sounds interesting, Mike. I only know this band from your site, so I’m going to catch up with the first two parts before checking out the third! Henry.

        1. I am listening to it right now on YouTube, Mike, and it does not seem at all familiar (although I like it).

        2. Thinking back on those days (1983-1984), Mike, I realize I had such limited exposure to popular music, especially hard rock. I didn’t even have FM radio until 1986! This was because the only radio I had in my bedroom was this little alarm clock I had gotten as a present that had only AM on it! I remember sometimes hearing Van Halen, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, and may a few other  bands like that who were hitting it very big in the States back then, and also I used to watch MTV sometimes at my godmother’s house when my sisters and I would go over there, and also there were some music video shows on regular US networks that I used to watch at friends’ houses during sleepovers (the one I remember especially was called Friday Night Videos which I see was on NBC). But these shows were mostly dedicated to pop music and had very little room for hard rock much less metal.  This changed later when I got a real boom box that had FM and I started listening to PYX 106 which was the rock station favored by kids into heavy music, although even it seemed to draw a line between hard rock/proto-metal and metal, and it was during that time that I really got into ‘70’s rock such as Cream, the Who, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Rush,  Boston, etc.
