Adam looks like he's writing the next Killswitch record in his head while he's playing this.
Greatest comment ever lmao
He probably was tbf
Or he’s thinking about eating pizza and drinking beer
@@AleandFire eating pizza and drinking beer while writing the album
sandals and shorts and pizza cap and zero fucks given
that pizza cap is more metal than KSE 😂😂😂
-"We're gonna play for you one of our new songs called Strength of The Mind"
-"Hope you don't mind"
Adam saw the chance, and he took it.
Joel is so so underrated, he's fucking sick!
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.
These guys have some of the sickest riffs 🤘🏻
Right? I wish I could play them, but they go hard with the palm mutting rythm, hammer ons and pull offs, it's way beyond my beginner level for now... lol!
@@slowtalker Right 😂
killswitch have the best riffs ever.
I like how instead of saying " Hope you like it!"
Adam says "Hope you don't mind it." haha
dat pun
I get it, because Adam says "Hope you don't *mind* it" and the name of the song is called "Strength of the *Mind* "! Haha!
I've watched this about 10 - 15 times and I'm still amazed by joels technique. he plays so effortless and flawless.
They call him the riff machine. Lol
Damn. I thought Adam was better, myself. 😏
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
+Liam Cronin nigga loves to dance can u blame him. sitting still is probably awful for him
+Liam Cronin He's probably just in withdrawal without his legendary cape :D
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."
+Justin Hodge I really think you're underestimating just how wacky and ADD Adam typically is. Being this restrained and calm was probably torture for him :)
I got they impression that he could play the song effortlessly, saying that they try to writing style is more original than it is difficult.
Wow, it's about time. GW finally got a great band in their studio again.
Great song, great guys, great video!
Adam D cracks me up, the most non metal looking dude in the biz
Christopher Hopkins Gives me hope to one day be a well-known metal musician without having to look weird or edgy.
He should have brought his pizza guitar. At least he has the hat.
Don’t forget the flip flops =)
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.
I've met them a couple of times too and you are totally right, some of the most humble international musicians I've ever met.
Kanotauro que buena wn. Ojalá pueda verlos en algún concierto
@@magneticmj Ahora es cuando 10.12.19!
I will have to give these guys another chance. I really enjoyed this playthrough.
Theses guys come up with some of coolest riffs!!!
Those two kill it. So good! Amazing guitar tone. Says a 47 yr old man. Priest and Maiden era
These guys know how to dial in a good tone
wow guitar world finally fixed their sound after a decade?
Lol
+ReXShunji Doesn't hurt having the tone gods playing for them either.
great sound this time
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
Adam had the "okay when do we play the hard stuff" look on his face the entire play through
Adam with the sandals XD lol
+Jeda Diea he moved to San Diego. That'll get anyone wearing sandals!
+Guitar World Whaattt ?! really ?!
o que esperar de um cara q faz shows com o short da irmã HAHAHHAHAHA
I quite like the pizza hat..
+Suicidal 999 hue
You can hear the pantera influences with the vocal patterns in the "strength of the mind part"
2:22 just another day at the park for Adam...
Definitely locked in together. Great music. Love Killswitch
ive always marveled at how locked in tight these two are together.
Simple, never over complicated tasty riffs. Time and time again. Great job, boys!
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!
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.
gives me chills every time.
Adam is always a funny and chill guy. Never serious, but yet very talented.
Yes GW, a good band and great tone, more like these
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!
This was great, always been a huge fan of Adam's playing. Very underrated guitarist!
Its nice, you know, to see Adam sit normally and play guitar the way its meant to be played.
That arpeggio. Love you guys!
I love this band . Amazing sounds
Happy birthday Adam D.!
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.
Excellent riffing guys!!! I love KE!!!Greetings from Argentina!!!
Love these dudes!!
incredibly relaxed power riffing
Love this song
Awesome video! Joel's Caparison is gorgeous.
Killer Song!
I'm really not used to Adam being stationary for any length of time! Great work lads.
Wow, an amazing sound and well roudned mix from a Guitar World video :D that's a new.
I love the "have fun" at the end .. . I sense the sarcasm, yet unsure how deep it runs :P
joels caparison is beautiful, its like a caparison and a jim root strat reproduced
It's so funny seeing them sit so calmly to a song like this 😂
New album is awesome!!!
FINALLY some kse. fuck YES
Wow these two just make it look soo easy
These guys are in a very close tie for my favorite guitar duo. Ken and Buzz from Unearth are amazing as well
So good on time!
Finally a KillSwitch song i can play all the way through!
Meaty calfs!
...Their latest album "Incarnate" is just killer!
What a tone
this is how a playthrough should be imo
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.
Awesome!
This song is pure genius!
Adam D, the chillest dude in Metal.
Incrível esses caras são dimais
so nice.
such a badass song and pretty easy to play
Excellent guitar vid!
Adam is a awesome guitarist with that funny side but also serious time when it comes to getting it right on with guitar playing
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!
Awesome band! Metalcore de talla. Buen vídeo lml
Fuckin love this song. The verse riffs punch you in the throat 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
awesome
"hope you don't mind it" LOL @ Adam's "I made a funny" face.
7 years ago 🤯
I feel old
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!
This is dope family
Godlike tone. I need to get myself a maxon overdrive pedal!
pretty sick they sound like they are going back to their roots.
the fucking pizza hat. adams outfits never disappoint
1:46 that pinch is one of the many things I love about KSE :D
Do more videos like this GW. It's been a while a good band came along.
well done ! thumbs up
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.
love you guys , lush capirisons aswell
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,
Best band ever
that was a hammer on pull of gasm jesus adam
Los amo chicos c:
Kse are awesome!
Brb boutta go peep that new Killswitch record
One word: TIGHT!
Fucking love this song!
if that riffage doesn't make you want to rock out I don't know what will
2:12
That is all. Thank you God.
Sick tone
Adam D: 'Pepperoni Pizza Cap. Give me the power to sit still!' Pepperoni Pizza Cap: 'NEVER!!!!'
By seeing Adam it doesn't look like he would deliver such killer riffs.
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 CZcams 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!!! 😏
Reminds me of Pantera slightly, RIP Dimebag.
I love both and I see no parallels, man, where do they?
The syncopation in the chugging, the squeals.
+Tattered Humanity Dude that opening riff is HIGHLY influenced by Pantera.
+Pablo Horteg Yes I agree
Wait, you think think that two metal bands have some similarities in the way that they sound? You don’t say......
YEAAAAAHHHH!!!!
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
Least the guitaring is awesome, have you ever tried playing their songs lol.
Yes. That’s what I am doing. And it is great fun. You need to practice hard though. I know some flashy lead players who couldn’t get this down tightly.
@@malekith8215 absolutely, their rhythm is another level
Badass. \m/
An actual play through! I'm thinking about checking out those fishman pickups
Fucking awesome band!!!
