lovely shots. I particularly dig the fourth one, with the burst of light

anyone know who “Helen” is in Hell’s Itch?
Joey:
The breeze on my flesh
It feels so fuckin’ good
Look at me now, Helen
Yeah, I’m finally red
Yeah, I’m finally red
Yeah, I’m finally red
During this show, Joey also modifies the lyric a bit to proclaim his love for Helen.
It got me wondering.
Edit – @TimelandIsWacky ‘s song history to the rescue!
While many fans took this to be a reference to Helen of Troy or even singer Helen Forrest who sang a song called “Oh! Look At Me Now,” the answer is much less epic. Helen is a nickname Ambrose was given, while Joey has the nickname Red. The phrase is just an in-joke that made it to the final version of the track.
“Hell’s Itch” is the longest track on the album and a fan favorite for its unique, airy instrumental and uneasy lyrics that capture the condition perfectly.
