Adam looks like he's writing the next Killswitch record in his head while he's playing this.

Dude i agree. I've probably watched about everything live of Joel since I love his style so much. Does anyone know where to see Joel just straight up shred?! I'm afraid we're stuck with Holy Diver covers lol. Love this band.

Good lord Adam looks so bored. It's like he doesn't know what to do if he's not running around the stage like a crazy person

he's not bored...its just that when you're playing to your own song and on camera its kind of difficult to decide how you want to "appear" while you're playing. Do you want to look enthusiastic and dance around to your own song or do you want to look a little serious and not as expressive while you're playing. And also they're trying to play it perfectly for this playthrough so that's probably his "focus face."

I like how instead of saying " Hope you like it!" Adam says "Hope you don't mind it." haha

Even the older Killswitch playthroughs/lessons don’t sound as bad as everyone else. I’ve always heard that Adam D is a perfectionist so he probably wouldn’t allow the crap sound GW usually has hahahahaha

I met them after a show in Chile and for my surprise I found a really nice guys, humbles, warm and friendly with the crowd. Seriously, we need more guys like them. By the way, Adam D was wearing sandals that day too.

These guys know how to dial in a good tone

Theses guys come up with some of coolest riffs!!!

these guys are so real. its cool to see they never lost their humanity in the industry they are in. And they never disappoint instrumentally damn!

So glad he got around to making this song that was stuck in his head. It ended up being my favorite song of all time!

ive always marveled at how locked in tight these two are together.

Definitely locked in together. Great music. Love Killswitch

This was great, always been a huge fan of Adam's playing. Very underrated guitarist!

Excellent riffing guys!!! I love KE!!!Greetings from Argentina!!!

2:22 just another day at the park for Adam...

Awesome video! Joel's Caparison is gorgeous.

That arpeggio. Love you guys!

This is one of my favorite songs of theirs - like it’s not super crazy throughout, but still heavy. The main riff is also one of my faves.

Wow, an amazing sound and well roudned mix from a Guitar World video :D that's a new.

Man. I gotta go home and learn this one today. Such a badass song with so many badass riffs in it. Adam D. is guitar jesus.

gives me chills every time.

Yes GW, a good band and great tone, more like these

Its nice, you know, to see Adam sit normally and play guitar the way its meant to be played.

Adam is always a funny and chill guy. Never serious, but yet very talented.

I love this band . Amazing sounds

I'm really not used to Adam being stationary for any length of time! Great work lads.

I love the "have fun" at the end .. . I sense the sarcasm, yet unsure how deep it runs :P

God the sheer amount of slides in the song! 🥂😭

Excellent guitar vid!

incredibly relaxed power riffing

Happy birthday Adam D.!

Love these dudes!!

It's so funny seeing them sit so calmly to a song like this 😂

Finally a KillSwitch song i can play all the way through!

New album is awesome!!!

Killer Song!

this is how a playthrough should be imo

joels caparison is beautiful, its like a caparison and a jim root strat reproduced

Wow these two just make it look soo easy

Love this song

Meaty calfs! ...Their latest album "Incarnate" is just killer!

So good on time!

These guys are in a very close tie for my favorite guitar duo. Ken and Buzz from Unearth are amazing as well

I could remember learning this and tried playing it the way Adam plays it but it was to weird. I went with the Joel approach, felt more natural to me. such a good track. fun to play along with. great stuff.

such a badass song and pretty easy to play

FINALLY some kse. fuck YES

This is dope family

What a tone

Do more videos like this GW. It's been a while a good band came along.

Godlike tone. I need to get myself a maxon overdrive pedal!

"hope you don't mind it" LOL @ Adam's "I made a funny" face.

Adam D, the chillest dude in Metal.

Awesome!

7 years ago 🤯 I feel old

Awesome band! Metalcore de talla. Buen vídeo lml

This song is pure genius!

Adam is a awesome guitarist with that funny side but also serious time when it comes to getting it right on with guitar playing

well done ! thumbs up

Saw them this July in Arnhem with Maiden.. they kinda made me respect hem more..even the where overwhelmed by Maiden (like any other band)... they had a very good show!

pretty sick they sound like they are going back to their roots.

so nice.

the fucking pizza hat. adams outfits never disappoint

Fuckin love this song. The verse riffs punch you in the throat 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I know this is your single, but I would have loved to see something like "the great deceit" I think it would have entertained Adams pretty head more lol,

An actual play through! I'm thinking about checking out those fishman pickups

You guys need to start carrying a roll of toilet paper around with you... Cause YOU ARE THE SHIT!!! I freaking LOVE you guys SO MUCH!!! I have an mp3 player that I carry with me while working (HVACR), and it has a little over 1500 songs on it. My only playlist on it consists of every song from every one of your albums, and that playlist is all that I listen to! I see a lot of covers here on KZread that a few kats are playing your music to on their guitar. Honestly, some of them are actually pretty damn good! They already know they can't compare to you guys though. Stay awesome, KsE!!! 😏

Incrível esses caras são dimais

that was a hammer on pull of gasm jesus adam

For those trying to learn on guitar (or those that just want the ULTRA-SLOW HEAVY BREAK DOWN version of the song)... settings (gear on the bottom right of the video) > speed > 0.5. You're welcome!

Saw these guys last night. They fucking owned it even with Jesse being sick and all. These guys have a great tone. One of the best. And they just write the best songs. KsE fucking rocks! No one can touch em.

if that riffage doesn't make you want to rock out I don't know what will

awesome

Fucking love this song!

loving the walt disney world sweatshirt lololol

Not my style of music but I enjoyed this. Thanks Paul

By seeing Adam it doesn't look like he would deliver such killer riffs.

One word: TIGHT!

Wait, you think think that two metal bands have some similarities in the way that they sound? You don’t say......

Not having listened this for years and now coming back, I realize how good this song really is. The 2 guitars and all the dynamics work so well together. Honestly this Metalcore Genre has some severe artistic limitations, this is why a band like Killswitch could never become as bis as lets say Metallica. But KSE get out everything they can out of what Metalcore brings to the table
