Diamond Head Founding Member and Lead Guitarist Brian Tatler Recalls of the Song: “In Septent 1979 The Song ‘Helpless’ Began Life as a riff i was playing by an dark punk band. I was playing it at the 5th fret and singer Be Harris Said, ‘Play it at the 2nd fret but play it faster,’ and the song took Shape. It has always been a Powerhouse Live and One of the Songs that has denied the set list. Metallica Covered ‘Helpless’ on their ‘$ 5.98 EP-Garage Days Re-Revisited’ In 1987 which introduced it to a whole new set of metal fans. “
