much has been made of helter skelter and if you've heard it you can probably understand why. "Helter skelter started punk music" they say. "Helter skelter started metal". But if we're are really going to get real, no band has EVER touched this song, never before and never since.
Charles Manson heard helter skelter and thought it was a prophesy about an impending race war. this is the kind of song that sociopaths should not be allowed to listen to. every musical idea threatens to pull the whole thing apart, and the guitar on the left (according to my headphones) just keeps droning the root note but on every 1st beat there's that terrifying half-bend, such an ugly/evil sound.
Please be careful when listening to Helter Skelter. I recommend no more than two plays a week.
