I'm Pete and I play music! Having fun with metal guitar doing everything from modern metal, extended range 7 strings and 8 strings to thrash metal on a good old 6 string. Riffs in the styles of other bands, shredding and lots of fun with metal music!

Killswitch Engage got riffs! Okay, so this is more than 5 riffs (kind of a medley) but, when you have riffs this good, how could I not do more than 5!?
Howard Jones voice is just perfect too! That's why I love Light The Torch! 😁
That was my first thought too, how can you pick 5!?
As an 80's hair metal head and guitarist, I'd never heard any Killswitch until my Son introduced me to them. Been 'engaged' ever since. Well played Sir. 🎸❤️👏🏻👊🏻
Some time ago, I read an articele where many modern (Metalcore/Deathcore/Djent) bands mentioned their favourite songs from the 80s. Adam D of Killswitch Engage named "Still Of The Night" and that's how I discovered Whitesnake and many other Hair metal bands (Dokken and Ratt are my favourite).
Can you really even have a, "five best," with Killswitch? It's all too good!
You can say it’s his top 5 🤷🏾♂️
I remember back in my Highschool years on my last day of being a senior,I turned on my car and arms of sorrow started playing and with the cool sunny day driving to school with that song blasting,and then after school having the same song blasting driving home,so now every time I hear arms of sorrow or killswitch it just reminds me of the last days of school
My fave killswitch engaged song will always be "this fire"
Making his way to the ring... weighing in in at 215 pounds.. from Chicago, Illinois... C M PUNK~
I thought this comment was actually on the "this fire burns" tab I had playing in the background as I read through the comments. Glad to know im not the only one
In due time (including the verses) is one of my all time favorites
Even through the darkest days, this fire burns always.
Love this take on the 'best riffs' genre, sounds much better than 5 separate riffs with hard breaks inbetween
The riffs from their song "Life To Lifeless" are also really good
Such a nice video. Don't listen to them as much as I used to in my days of youth. Great riffs and Adam produces great squeals.
Last Serenade is such an amazing song!!
The Crownless King - so good, so underrated.
Pete took me back to my college days in an instant. Great stuff.
Alive or just breathing is my favorite album. Glad you included it
Crazy that as an old "metal dude" I didn't even give this band a listen till around 2011ish (the Howard Jones material first) as I was stuck in a rut listening to the same old favorites that I had been listening to for years. Here in the US at that time they got alot of airplay on SXM Octane. Had just gotten the service for free with a vehicle and I can still remember hearing them for the first time. (I can't be 100% but it was probably Rose of Sharon.) I honestly was blown away by their songs, the vocals, drums, guitars, everything! This band unlocked for me the "ear tweak" I needed to appreciate growling vocals and subsequently lead me down a path of new musical discovery! That said I think not only their riffs and melodies but their guitar sound is one of if not my absolute personal favorite metal guitar tone, (ugh, sorry Master of Puppets, I still love you too!" just incredible sonically! My entire gym playlist is still focused around Killswitch, as well as other bands in the Metal Core genre (Is this right? lol idk, I'm old) Love this band, cheers man!
NEED MORE!!
Perfect list actually
Loved this upload man, Great playing and tone
Genuinely Killswitch have so many GOAT riffs!!
Amazing stuff Pete! Love the tone and the riffage 🤘
my first few years on guitar i was learning every single KE songs, love their riffs
Nailed it dude. One of my top 3 bands. Just sooooo many killer riffs.
Been a KSE since 2009! Great riffs
Kse has been my favorite band side by side with ill nino since 2001~2002 the shows they put on are some of the best memories of my life. Just got to see ill nino in bar 2 weeks ago and it was a dream. I hope to see kse in a small venue one day and get to sit down with them and just bs like i did with ill Nino.
I remember hearing My Last Lemonade on the rock channels as a frustrated metalhead (turn of the century teen metalheads will understand) and thinking "finally, some riffs!" Instantly hooked.
I didn't know this band, so I genuinely thought that Pete was gonna show us 5 riff in which the authors used (engaged) a kill switch knob on their guitars, lmao
My personal favourite is Reject Yourself. There's something about riffs in e minor played in the open C tuning that's just *chef's kiss*
Reject Yourself is my absolute favourite Killswitch song. Good taste, sir!
Just wonderful. Great work. 😊
Reject yourself didn't make it, i think it's their best riffs. Awesome playing anyway, always looking forward for Pete's videos
Agreed
Can't wait for their new album.
I'M LOVING YOUR TONE,,,AND ALL OF YOUR CONTENT AND VIDEOS,,,ARE SO FIRE ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
This Fire Burns should absolutely be on this list
Killswitch fucking KILLS!! One of my favorite bands.
Nice work, gr8 band... thanks 4 sharing
Nice one, Pete 👌
Yes I love this Killswitch Engage is my favorite band of all time
In the Unblind was underrated. Infact, their whole first album was.
I've never listened to Killswitch - no reason, just haven't gotten around to it. These are beautiful riffs. I'll have to check them out now.
Just Let Go is probably my favourite riff, well that bridge, is incredible.
Life to Lifeless is probably the dirtiest metal riff I've ever heard, love it for that reason.
Fantastic
Aaaaaaa getting to see KE for the first time in a few months when they come and open for Maiden.
The Australian release of The End of Heartache had a bonus CD with some live tracks. 'My Last Serenade' was my favourite live rendition of the song. The energy was insane, the tone was absolutely crushing and the pinch harmonics going back and forth during the song were god-tier. I miss that CD
And the vocals are in my head, goosebumps
Vide Infra and Temple from the Within are awesome.
Could listen to you all day pete 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼🏴
I’ll always love The End of Heartache since that was the first song from them I ever heard and is still one of my absolute favourites from them
The End Of Heartache 😢
Haven't seen an Amarok in a hot minute. Other than mine. I see that all the time.
Those riffs really are bangers. But that guitar steals the show.
I was a bit sad to not hear this fire burns in here, but these are all good picks regardless
My favorite would have to be "Bid Farewell"!!!
This are the classics, but i do think The Crownless King has one of the best riffs the band has ever produced.
it's just gorgeous! I can't stop shaking my head!!! total, destroying mega like! it's just gorgeous! I can't stop headbanging! totally destroying megalike! ❤❤❤❤❤ 🍺
this is sick maaaaate lets do one together !
My top 5 also
Look into corriosion of comfirmity still my fave band
Nice play, as always! 🤘🏼What string gauge are you using? thanks ❤
That My Curse riff though!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ver yice! I remember learning these riffs (or similar ones, for copyright reasons I guess ) from an issue of Guitar Techniques. I had a blast playing them over the backing tracks! Took me a long time, but I nailed them all except one. I couldn't get it quite up to 190bpm(!).
How did you get the clean sound in the intro? Sounds like there's chorus on it, but what else? What amp?
Thanks! It’s Archetype Rabea on one of the clean presets and I added LOTS of of compression and a bit of chorus :)
cool
What about Be One and those sick pre chorus and chorus riff??
KSE aren't my fave band by a long stretch, but I like watching Pete play as I always get song ideas after he posts a new vid. 🤘🤘
Thank you 🙏
Pete how are you satisfied with the amarok? i had trouble with the neck pickup
Drop c all riffs?
Yes
PsyOpus next?
Damn, only 7K views
.. Guitar content on TH-cam has reached new lows
Can't actually hear what you're playing man, which is a shame as I love Killswitch
Reject Yourself?
100%
Gotta disagree. Not that these are bad choices. But no "Breathe Life" or "Eye of the Storm"? Come on now.
Good choice of riffs.
