Founded in 1821 as the site for a new state capital, the city is named after General Andrew Jackson, who was honored for his role in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812 and later served as U.S. president. Following the nearby Battle of Vicksburg in 1863 during the American Civil War, Union forces under the command of General William Tecumseh Sherman began the siege of Jackson and the city was subsequently burned.During the 1920s, Jackson surpassed Meridian to become the most populous city in the state following a speculative natural gas boom in the region. The current slogan for the city is The City with Soul. It has had numerous musicians prominent in blues, gospel, folk, and jazz. The city is located in the deep south halfway between Memphis and New Orleans on Interstate 55 and Dallas and Atlanta on Interstate 20. Being at this location has given the city the nickname the crossroads of the south.
The city has a number of museums and cultural institutions, including the Mississippi Childrens Museum, Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, Mississippi Museum of Art, Old Capital Museum, Museum of Mississippi History. Other notable locations are the Mississippi Coliseum and the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, home of the Jackson State Tigers Football Team.

n. A parasite. Specifically a college guy you dont know who comes to your party early with lots of his helmet friends. They bring enormous cups for beer drinking and knock out half of the keg before anyone else shows up. They are nitwits. When women arrive, they [cock block] you either by talking directly to the women and making them think they are your friends, thus branding you a helmet, or acting like such idiots that they ruin the party and your rep, or by kicking the keg just as the women show up. Then they leave without pitching in for the next one.

One of the most original hard rock/heavy metal bands to rise up from the United States underground; The original and most prominent lineup featuring [Page Hamilton] on [guitar] and vocals, [Henry Bogdan] on [bass], [John Stanier] on [drums], and various background guitarists. Their original sound was based around heavy guitar [distortion] with droning riffs, outrageous guitar shredding and solos (influenced by bands such as [Sonic Youth], [Void] and [Killing Joke] as well as many [jazz] musicians), loud chuggy bass lines, heavy [snare drum]ming, and background guitars to create a wall of noise sound.
In 1992 they blasted into the mainstream with their second album Meantime, which featured their most known song Unsung. The band also released Give It and In the Meantime as singles, but both songs flopped in sales and didnt receive as much attention as Unsung. Helmets two albums Strap It On and Meantime were both so groundbreaking that it spawned many watered down imitator bands that ripped from Helmets sound, the most prominent three being [Korn], [Deftones] and [Tool]. This move infuriated and disgusted the band, giving them the desire to do something much more experimental to alienate themselves from their imitators.
In 1994, Helmet released their third album Betty; a much more melodic album which owed more to bluesy and jazzy heavy metal, which featured the songs Wilmas Rainbow and Milquetoast, both of which became minor hits on modern rock radio. Helmet have gone on to release 3 more albums and still remain a favorite of Modern rock, Hard rock and Heavy metal fans today.Helmet meaning & definition 5 of Helmet.
