Adam D gets his respect, he produced huge record after huge record in the 2000s, and then KSE is his own band, arguably the biggest metalcore band of the era
@@safetytfh I'm talking about when guys chat about the greatest guitarists of all time or metalcore guitarists. Yeah, he's a phenomenally talented man but I feel I don't hear guys bring him up much.
@@Mavvyd96 greatest guitarist talk is always gonna be about wacky next level technique players, Adam D always comes up when it comes to best riffs and best producers
Got to see killswitch at mayhem fest in 09. One of my favorite bands have seen live. Not only they play great but they get the crowd going like crazy. They did the wall of death when I seen them at DTE in Michigan. Videos of it on youtube. Shit was crazy to see in person.
@@drystanbarnett503 there great at entertaining the crowd too. Adam D was on stage with his super hero cape. Howard was on vocals. Then Slayer played after killswitch. Was a pretty good line up. All that remains and Trivium were playing the opening stages.
the tone was my Helix Stomp. If I had to guess the signal path would be Noise Gate -> Tubescreamer -> Line 6 Badonk (Amp Model) -> Mesa Boogie IR. A lot of the tone comes from the fingers as well! Just gotta get as tight as you can be. -Copied and pasted from another comment (:
So glad you covered new awakening from disarm the descent!!! Such a heavy ass album and such a heavy ass song! I can’t get enough of the riffs in new awakening 🔥🔥🔥🤮
Longtime KSE fan and guitarist here to say sick video man \m/ Reject Yourself is their best song, and Breathe Life is a close 2nd. Solid riff selection.
daaamn i did not kill swithc engage had such fucking geat riffs. It does give borderline Megadeth feel. Great stuff though braav. Subscribed from Mumbai(INDIA).
Fishman Fluence Modern by itself in the bridge. The neck cavity is poorly blocked with some wood 😂, the tone was my Helix Stomp.

dude, Adam D is a serious guitar fucking genius
Hell yeah he is
Don't forget Joel!
@@thatsameenergy we love Joel too!
Adam is a genius for many reasons, but Joel is the original riff meister!
Watch him on the price is right 🤘He wins the showcase he’s a genius period
I feel Adam D is such a criminally underrated guitarist. God bless him. He has made some of the best metalcore riffs ever.

@@safetytfhbro for me its as i lay dying, but also killswitch engage, followed by all that remains 🔥
Joel writes a lot of the heavier riffs.
Reject Yourself is just a hidden gem imo. Thanks for playing more of the awesome riffage in that song \m/ \m/
It's my favorite song off the album
Reject Yourself is such a delightful riff-fest. I'm so glad it got the longest playtime in this video
my KSE riffs:
1. Numbered Days
2. Self Revolution
3. Rose of Sharyn
4. Beyond the Flames
5. The End of Heartache
That transition from In Due Time to This Is Absolution was pure fucking 🤌
I love this list because it shows that people listen to their other songs besides their hits.
"Reject yourself" a song that makes me speechless

Hell yeah, I saw them in 2019 and 2020. I think they are easily one of the best sounding bands live

Save Me and My Curse are also funky ass KSE riffs
How the hell are u getting this immaculate tone

@@drystanbarnett503 Totally agree. You can have the best tone in the world but you gotta be tight with killswitch or it sounds like distorted garbage
@@nlmb6478 exactly
Exacly man
@@drystanbarnett503
Where'd you find that Mesa IR? It sounds sick. I need it.
That tone for This is Absolution is absolutely sickening
These riffs were written YEARS ago and they still hold up. SO good. Killer job man.
the good about kse is that they use drop c in all their albums and never change of tuning
❤
Reject urself deserved to be in this❤ just love
Wonderful list of songs. You got all of my favorite riffs there!
MY TOP 10 RIFFS:
Break The Silence
Be One
For You
Eye Of The Storm
Daylight Dies
Hope Is
Breathe Life
Wasted Sacrifice
Declaration
My Life Is Yours
The outro for "Arms of Sorrow" is the depressed "Thunderstuck" equivalent IMO.
KSE and this video rocks!
These dudes have the best riff ever. I'd put My Curse in that top 10, fuckin awesome riff.
Nice to see a video with no Dislikes for a change. I knew it would be good as Killswitch have so many bangers 👍🤘
Very rare indeed 😂 thanks 🤘
Shut up
Dislikes? What are those?
@@Coles-bootleg-vids Top KSE riffs no My Curse...? Hmm
@@notguitar Tbh, he probably didn't include it on the list just because it's like their #1-#2 most popular song.
Dude forgot Break the Silence.
The Signal Fire riff is definitely a forearm killer
he makes it look so easy..epic skills bro
The hardest parts for me on kse songs are the pinch harmonics
Loved how you picked all these fierce ripping riffs - nothing too 'ambient' here!
Dude the "My Curse" riffs are iconic. How could you fail to include it?!?!?
Nice work brother! Super clean, good tone, choice riffs!
Thanks a lot!
U nailed it! Great job! God Bless u & the works of your hands! Riff’n! Great mix
I loved this I could feel your pain during the signal fire down picks.
So glad you covered new awakening from disarm the descent!!! Such a heavy ass album and such a heavy ass song! I can’t get enough of the riffs in new awakening 🔥🔥🔥🤮
Love the Jackson !
Fixation on the darkness and The Signal Fire and my favorite, but i love them all. Cool video.
reject yourself is the ultimate riff 🤘😝🤘 great playing!!
that jackson kelly looks sick as hell dude
So fucking sick dude, you did these masterpieces justice
Appreciate it! 🙏
Reject yourself is my favourite
In Due Time always reminds me of Shadows Inside by Miss May I
Very similar but in due time came out first 😂🙂
@@drystanbarnett503 yea I'm aware lol. I just heard Shadows Inside before In Due Time.
Great video. Are these all the same tuning, and what tuning is it?
@@zz-.- alternate between drop c and d standard!
Awesome work man!
Thank you. That was a long night 😂
@@drystanbarnett503 wow)
Awesome, cool that all riffs are just 2 takes
Im a simple man. I see 000 I click like
This video rules. Fine work sir.
In due time sounds like sea of lies by symohony x
When it's cold during the winter, I simply pick up my guitar and play some of KSE's rifs.
I feel that
Excellent riffage, brother, but I notice a severe lack of PINCHIES
Adam would not let that slide
Damn, I’ll have to throw some more in next time!
Longtime KSE fan and guitarist here to say sick video man \m/ Reject Yourself is their best song, and Breathe Life is a close 2nd. Solid riff selection.
Thanks man!
This is absolutely insane
Glad to see a couple entries from Incarnate. That album is slept on, so many great riffs. Until The Day is easily cracking my personal top 10.
So many sick riffs!
🤘🤘
Sick !
Vide Infra should have been on the list. It's one of their BEST songs, in my opinion.
Fuck yes dude. Well handled.
Fixation will always be my number one. Adam is the phucking man 🤘🏻
the ravenous one is fucking kickass i love it
They write the best riffs!!!
Reject yourself is the best
Awesome job surprise no end of heartache
Awesome, dude!!!
Nice
My top five kse riff would be.
1. End of heartache.
2. last serenade.
3. Element of one.
4. Starting over.
5. When darkness falls.
Dude, nobody ever mentions element of one. Good shit
U are sick brooo!!! All my favorite songs are there... Reject yourself is my favorite of all
You dominate!!!! Hats off to your stamina!!
🫡
first time here. fucking rad brother. \m/
Great list, the only thing I disliked was that you didn't include that other badass riff from Reject Yourself after the clean one.
Awesome tone.
Sad to not see any of Just Barely Breathing. That song is good riff after good riff, especially the all downpicked chorus riff
Great job! Adam D is a monster. Love KSE
Great playing man! keep it up.
This passes the Kratos 4D Throne Haptic Bass Gaming chair TEST! Rock on! haha the kicks felt great.
This is fucking sweet man
Props for putting reject last🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Very nice played! Great sound!
Much appreciate!
Dude you did it justice, these are not easy riffs 👍🏻
Insane man absolutely loved it!! Great job!!!
Brutal!
So many good ones! Killer video mang 🤘🏽
Only ones I’d add are Just barely breathing and Break the silence.
That was very clean.
So sick, cheers man!
This was fucking awesome lmao the first transition took me super off guard but man this video was sick af. Keep this up bro
Late to the party but good shit dude!
Man...I love your sound)
You should do a full cover on Reject Yourself, all guitar tracks and stuff
Badass dude. Keep this shit up 🤘
Nice, i would add irreversal too
My Last Serenade
Unique title! We really liked it. Very well played.
You are welcome.
Would be really good to see your thoughts on th-cam.com/video/CKl___MhW_s/w-d-xo.html
Dude that was awesome!!!
🔥🔥🔥
daaamn i did not kill swithc engage had such fucking geat riffs. It does give borderline Megadeth feel. Great stuff though braav. Subscribed from Mumbai(INDIA).
