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
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 🔥🔥🔥🤮
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.
My best kse riffs: My curse My last serenade End of the heartache Rose of sharyn This is absolution In due time Reject yourself Can we star again Signal of fire The arms of sorrow
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).
Dude I love the guitar, what model is that? I'm obsessed with Jackson guitars and I love the reverse headstocks most. Also glad to see I'm not the only one that just ditches the truss rod cover lol
The beloved Jackson Kelly! First time I saw the shape I fell in love and bought one. They seem to be pretty popular these days. And yeah I ditch the truss rod cover and the backplate for the Floyd as well, makes access quicker when needed!
Fishman Fluence Modern by itself in the bridge. The neck cavity is poorly blocked with some wood 😂, 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
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 🤌
"Reject yourself" a song that makes me speechless
I love this list because it shows that people listen to their other songs besides their hits.
These riffs were written YEARS ago and they still hold up. SO good. Killer job man.
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.
Wonderful list of songs. You got all of my favorite riffs there!
The outro for "Arms of Sorrow" is the depressed "Thunderstuck" equivalent IMO.
KSE and this video rocks!
Dude the "My Curse" riffs are iconic. How could you fail to include it?!?!?
Loved how you picked all these fierce ripping riffs - nothing too 'ambient' here!
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
Save Me and My Curse are also funky ass KSE riffs
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 🔥🔥🔥🤮

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

So many good ones! Killer video mang 🤘🏽
Only ones I’d add are Just barely breathing and Break the silence.
Reject urself deserved to be in this❤ just love
My best kse riffs:
My curse
My last serenade
End of the heartache
Rose of sharyn
This is absolution
In due time
Reject yourself
Can we star again
Signal of fire
The arms of sorrow
Fixation on the darkness and The Signal Fire and my favorite, but i love them all. Cool video.
Very nice played! Great sound!
Much appreciate!
Love the Jackson !
The Signal Fire riff is definitely a forearm killer
So fucking sick dude, you did these masterpieces justice
Appreciate it! 🙏
U are sick brooo!!! All my favorite songs are there... Reject yourself is my favorite of all
he makes it look so easy..epic skills bro
The hardest parts for me on kse songs are the pinch harmonics
the good about kse is that they use drop c in all their albums and never change of tuning
❤
I loved this I could feel your pain during the signal fire down picks.
Hell yeah! 🤘
reject yourself is the ultimate riff 🤘😝🤘 great playing!!
This was fucking awesome lmao the first transition took me super off guard but man this video was sick af. Keep this up bro
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.
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!
love the tone
@@jay22alco thanks!
Great playing man! keep it up.
Dude forgot Break the Silence.
Awesome work man!
Thank you. That was a long night 😂
@@drystanbarnett503 wow)
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.
That was very clean.
Break the silence is one that should have definitely been on here, that riff is by far one of my favourite ones Adam D has created.
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.
Awesome, dude!!!
You dominate!!!! Hats off to your stamina!!
🫡
Great job! Adam D is a monster. Love KSE
Insane man absolutely loved it!! Great job!!!
So many sick riffs!
🤘🤘
that jackson kelly looks sick as hell dude
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
Great video. Are these all the same tuning, and what tuning is it?
@@zz-.- alternate between drop c and d standard!
Excellent stuff bro 🔥
This is absolutely insane
well done dude! great tone too.
Badass!
Great list, the only thing I disliked was that you didn't include that other badass riff from Reject Yourself after the clean one.
This video rules. Fine work sir.
Sick!
Late to the party but good shit dude!
Awesome job surprise no end of heartache
Fixation will always be my number one. Adam is the phucking man 🤘🏻
When it's cold during the winter, I simply pick up my guitar and play some of KSE's rifs.
I feel that
Great job brother
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).
Bro that guitar tone! Please tell me how you achieved that tone and excellent playing by the way I subbed 🤘🤘
Awesome 👏 keep rocking, pal
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
CRUSHED IT!
SICK!
These dudes have the best riff ever. I'd put My Curse in that top 10, fuckin awesome riff.
So sick, cheers man!
Props for putting reject last🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Subbed because of this video.. I really like this video
Thank you!

Badass dude. Keep this shit up 🤘
Hi Drystan, can your Helix Stomp sounds like pantera, metallica and lamb of god? im planning to start a cover youtube video channel.. thank you
Absolutely, get the proper impulse response and the right type of gain structure amplifier for each of those bands and your set!
Really tight riffage 🔥👏🤘
They write the best riffs!!!
Dude that was awesome!!!
You should do a full cover on Reject Yourself, all guitar tracks and stuff
This passes the Kratos 4D Throne Haptic Bass Gaming chair TEST! Rock on! haha the kicks felt great.
Man...I love your sound)
Love it, and very well made. What amp / set up do you have? It sounds exactly the same!
Brutal!
Tone. For. DAYS. Such a sick video!
Fuck yes dude. Well handled.
Awesome tone and great playing as well! What pups you got on that Jackson? Also what amp or plug in??
Fishman Fluence Modern by itself in the bridge. The neck cavity is poorly blocked with some wood 😂, the tone was my Helix Stomp.

Awesome tone.
the ravenous one is fucking kickass i love it
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!
In due time sounds like sea of lies by symohony x
Dude you did it justice, these are not easy riffs 👍🏻
That tone for This is Absolution is absolutely sickening
great !
Fuck, you’re a solid rhythm guitar player!! 🤘🤘
Nice, i would add irreversal too
first time here. fucking rad brother. \m/
Very well played
This is fucking sweet man
