You dont know this, but you taught me to play guitar when I was a kid by watching these videos. I still play this song and come back to reference it every once in a while... like today. Take care man, hope you're well
2019 and I still come back to watching this dude's videos to learn from his techniques. If it wasn't for this guy's existence, I would have never picked up a guitar. Thanks for being my inspiration and indirectly helping me develop as a guitarist through all these years.
2023 and i still listen to these KSE covers from Killrbuckeye. Guitar sounds a bit clearer and clearer than the album to me, easily one of my most favorite guitar tones in metal/metalcore.
Im 47,& just found this guy recently,& as a musician & touring punk band guy from the 90s era,i gotta say this cover rips.Esp the sound rippin out of that LTD ESP.Killer. Hope lifes treating u well.Cheers Buckeye.
I completely agree. I miss Buckeye so much. We just have to remember that he has a wife and kids, and is probably quite busy. I am sure that he will make a comeback at some point. Regardless of what develops, I shall never hit that unsubscribe button. \m/
I picked up my electric up last week after about 6-7 months off it and my first thoughts when I picked up it up is "I'm jumping on to watch killrbuckeyes covers as they always get me in the mood xD I MISS THIS LAD
I found you back around the time I joined the Army in 2007. Your music got me through a lot of rough years in hell, and this song plays as the background music to some pretty epic core memories from those years. Some people are just legend material...in 2007 this song was fire...2023 it's still the best cover of this song. You sir, are a legend.
I definately agree with you that this cover is good and since its old he prolly did it even without tabs. But i remember that there was a cover of this song that had more views than the actual song itself. It was a dude playing with a explorer style guitar.
Hey buckeye, this cover is why I started playing guitar. I just wanted to say thank you, I never went anywhere with my music or my band, but god damn I wouldn’t be standing if this cover hadn’t inspired me to create my own way. I hope all is well, I hope you inspired more than you know.
watching him play the chorus and see him get into it is what makes me love killswitch. and especially since howard joined, they have this badass metal sound but they can grab you and show you how melodic metal can be and idk, theyre just badass man
wait no longer, he has finally given a response in his facebook page facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10156291585364037&id=58150444036&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBl8JZm7NN63FCnRHWWjXLka0yzQPjJeVO4emWPdFnl0LuFqamecHMgLDfsdsdtcX5hU5zQSDvy7brNWSHCNw4gQKhxk2NEPvsU5EUkECp3e8Sl1CsId97CO0wgzv0q7WY8OHkf_ec6h1P-udUYqEjNK_BgpU_rcKmA3pp-naINxM5HbVgl_FQYuuFOQaOOj0OwZSWxKkODq8jN-HyiF8admMTuIW_CZ5hC5Sd-gaTte69uCfCGJ76EeZrgsrPX8N3dIZmvUh4ZdsSfwUAv9ur-kPgfMJ9V15sKRYLUwqwTuc-8mfAnUMDA8A3oYtYe7dXbRIabufgqRg&__tn__=-R
Still my favorite guitar cover on TH-cam. Thank you for shredding dude. I'm 30 now but you were crucial to motivating me to learn how to play metal. Because of you I can play tons of Killswitch, August Burns Red, Trivium and anything Will Swan is coming out with. You are basically the patron Saint of absolutely shredding
i too miss this guy.. it is quite upsetting seeing as he hasnt come back but for a good reason i get that. he was the inspiration to me also as many of you, to learning how to play guitar. I even bought when i was 16 and legally of age to work, a KH-602 because my man KillrBuckeye owned one and damn well killed these covers. I watched them from time and time again and still do years later. I wish he would see how many people miss him and at least log on and comment. i truly miss this lad. here i am 10 years later at the age of 26. Not inspired but still play... dude you influenced me hard
dude thank you soo much for putting up tabs there are tabs all over the internet but none of them ever sounded exactly right and yours are the best ive ever come across i realy apreciate that you took the time to tab it out now i can have fun and jam out to one of my old faves thx man!
man that sucks I have 4 kids and a job and still find time to play its part of my soul could never stop plz get back to it man you will regret it one day if you don't :)
+Lucien Padmos Lucien, I think you're thinking of Howard, the old vocalist for Killswitch Engage. He took a hiatus from touring because his Type 2 Diabetes was putting a toll on him. Howard is back touring with a new band nowadays.
Killrbuckeye one of the few people on youtube who can actually post the tabs of the songs he knows how to play. This should be a youtube award or something.
Ive been watching this man on youtube since i was a young kid. and i still can't believe his flawless flow in everyone of his videos. no mistakes, everything is perfect. i feel as thought i become a better guitar player as i watch these. as tho i know I'm seeing the right way to do it.
i saw this video when it only had maby 5,000 views and since then i have been playing guitar, joined a band, and even opened up a few shows for the human abstract.. thank you killrbuckeye for inspiring me! who knows where i would be without you. i will be looking forward for your new meterial and my future
Definitely the best cover and tabs I've seen so far, and I've watched and tried many and some folks have one part that sounds a bit off. This one sounds perfect. Thanks a bunch!
Yo back when I was around 15ish? This video and the tab on ultimate guitar was how i learned this song and blew away a few of my friends. Im gonna be 33 next month and i still jam that shit everytime i really get down. A little later i found your website and learned of tux guitar. I sincerely cannot thank you enough for the impact you had on my playing man, I hope that everything is going well for you, and I wish you the most Merry Christmas
Im glad to see hes returning, Hes the reason I can play this song... Hell most of Killswitch songs and as I lay dying... He was very much a driving force for my fuel to play more and learn as much as I could on guitar.. Miss the good ole days for sure lol
Love all the work you do man. The rising is still so inspirational. Love the Pacifica you use. Never stop cranking out these clips man. Such a great style you have!
Dude I just visited your website, thank you so much for the tabs, specially this one which is also my fav KSE song! You have such a beautilful kids, congratulations! God bless you! And never stop playing :)
Wonderful playing dude. You see so many people who can do the fret hand stuff properly, but can't get the picking and palm muting right when it comes to songs like this. But you've nailed it all.
Dude, you are so cool. My two year old LOVES to sit and watch you, and you're inspiring my six year old to want to play guitar (which is a fervent wish of mine). I don't know why it is that you left TH-cam, but you are clearly missed. I know why now. It doesn't get much better than this - to be able to sit and watch how these songs are played in total perfection. Simply amazing. I'm subscribing anyway. So that when you do come back, I'll know. Godspeed.
Holy shit, you're newest son is born the same day as I am! haha. dude these covers are the best i have ever heard. And the consistency over all your covers are superb.
Jesus christ. Flawless. Those pick slides followed shortly by pinch harmonics...some day I might be able to play like you...but until then I can watch how it should be done!!!
@cokejust7upedpepsi Agreed. Anyone who can play guitar or is learning guitar can see this cover is spot on. He also manages to get the tones for his covers completely matched making them sound that much better.
I’ve actually hit the bell for an alert. Not sure really why if I think about it, but all I know if he comes back, it will be the biggest comeback in all of history
Esse cara é demais, foi um dos primeiro que escutei aqui no YT, infelizmente não encontrei mais videos dele, bateu até uma nostalgia aqui! Parabéns cara, você é incrível!
you and i have such similar picking style, palm sitting tight on that bridge, perfect for tight rhythm. kudos! great job on the song too bro it's one of my faves. good to hear you do it justice.
i like watching your vids because you make sure your playing the song 100% right before you put em up. i find it hard to find good versions of all the tabs i wanna get.
Man you were one of the 1st people I used to watch on here back in the day, I hope you and your family are doing well !
He's back with some originals as of 2021 :) Killrbuckeye was one of my first subs on youtube as well!
Still here in 2022!!
2024 and still here
Same, was playing the fortnite Metallica stuff, and thought of him. Glad you're still about!
You dont know this, but you taught me to play guitar when I was a kid by watching these videos.
I still play this song and come back to reference it every once in a while... like today.
Take care man, hope you're well
14 years on...and still the only ROS cover you need!!
It's been YEARS since I've seen him. I'm glad people still comment and watch his vids! Hope him and his family are doing great!
How have you been the past six years?
2019 and I still come back to watching this dude's videos to learn from his techniques. If it wasn't for this guy's existence, I would have never picked up a guitar. Thanks for being my inspiration and indirectly helping me develop as a guitarist through all these years.
2023 and i still listen to these KSE covers from Killrbuckeye.
Guitar sounds a bit clearer and clearer than the album to me, easily one of my most favorite guitar tones in metal/metalcore.
I remember watching this video for the first time when it came out.
It's been just a little over 13 years now. I still think it's the best cover ever.
Im 47,& just found this guy recently,& as a musician & touring punk band guy from the 90s era,i gotta say this cover rips.Esp the sound rippin out of that LTD ESP.Killer.
Hope lifes treating u well.Cheers Buckeye.
I hope this guy comes back to us. 5 years of no new KillrBuckeye :(. This guy is a guitar god.
dude do you know lucas mann?
ultimonsterbreakdown Lucas Mann can't even play his own shit.
im pretty sure that guy trying to steal his song killed it for him and doesnt wanna mess with it anymore
I completely agree. I miss Buckeye so much. We just have to remember that he has a wife and kids, and is probably quite busy. I am sure that he will make a comeback at some point. Regardless of what develops, I shall never hit that unsubscribe button. \m/
Man, I didn't write that.... _I'm_ mietsu padre
I picked up my electric up last week after about 6-7 months off it and my first thoughts when I picked up it up is "I'm jumping on to watch killrbuckeyes covers as they always get me in the mood xD I MISS THIS LAD
Bro. You need to come back. You were such an inspiration when I started playing and still are
john-mark pendlebury he’s back
10 years later and his covers are still amongst the best. This guy is literally a legend.
Dude, i still listen to your singles the arrival and the rising in my car every once in a while, such great compositions
Still to this day one of the best sound quality all over TH-cam when it comes to guitar covers. You are a legend man
I found you back around the time I joined the Army in 2007. Your music got me through a lot of rough years in hell, and this song plays as the background music to some pretty epic core memories from those years.
Some people are just legend material...in 2007 this song was fire...2023 it's still the best cover of this song. You sir, are a legend.
Awesome that people still comment on the best Killswitch cover ever uploaded 8 years later
Its been 12 now

🤘Legends never die🤘
hey dude, this is the best cover i've ever seen, congrats
+Big Zama Smoke I agree.. very good. accurate.
I definately agree with you that this cover is good and since its old he prolly did it even without tabs. But i remember that there was a cover of this song that had more views than the actual song itself. It was a dude playing with a explorer style guitar.

Because of you I can play tons of Killswitch, August Burns Red, Trivium and anything Will Swan is coming out with. You are basically the patron Saint of absolutely shredding
August 2020 and this is still the best guitar cover I’ve ever seen my guy. Hell yeah!
I hope you make some covers soon man. Maybe some of your own creations as well. Up to this day i still listen your song "the rising".
hes not the only one
I did not expect this level of quality from a 2007 YT video
i too miss this guy.. it is quite upsetting seeing as he hasnt come back but for a good reason i get that. he was the inspiration to me also as many of you, to learning how to play guitar. I even bought when i was 16 and legally of age to work, a KH-602 because my man KillrBuckeye owned one and damn well killed these covers.

Aritra Chatterjee hes back!!!!!!!!
2017 still waiting
Artyom Kuzmin 2018 same lol
Holy shit I remember being a senior in High School and watching this exact video. Man I am one of many that misses this guys gnarly guitar talents.
One of the sickest rhythm sounds I've ever heard. I watch this video at least a few times every month. Keep laying it down, bro.
Does this guy still alive? His videos is 7years ago :O
Read his channel description
i watched this a long time ago lol
PLEASE COME BACK :((
He isnt coming back :/
Tom Phillips What happened to him?
Christian Muhametov i think he said he had a kid? Its been years, i dont remember
+Christian Muhametov I heard he got diabetes type 2 and had to quit because of his health... I'm not sure though.
+Lucien Padmos Lucien, I think you're thinking of Howard, the old vocalist for Killswitch Engage. He took a hiatus from touring because his Type 2 Diabetes was putting a toll on him. Howard is back touring with a new band nowadays.
MAIS UM INSCRITO --------- MEU LIKE
August 2021. Still the best cover of this song in the whole internet

Wonderful playing dude. You see so many people who can do the fret hand stuff properly, but can't get the picking and palm muting right when it comes to songs like this. But you've nailed it all.
Wow, this guy is a legend. He even provides the tabs for free. Amazing cover, talent and tabs. What more can you ask.
Dude, you are so cool. My two year old LOVES to sit and watch you, and you're inspiring my six year old to want to play guitar (which is a fervent wish of mine).
I don't know why it is that you left TH-cam, but you are clearly missed. I know why now. It doesn't get much better than this - to be able to sit and watch how these songs are played in total perfection. Simply amazing.
I'm subscribing anyway. So that when you do come back, I'll know. Godspeed.

Great song and absolutely killer tone. It's so tight and crisp.

Couldn't agree more with you KillrBuckeye. I play this song more than any other. Great job!
I can play this and mad props to this guy for being able to do it too. His tone is MUCH better than mine. Good job bro.

DUDE YOU SHRED! Godly man I give you props! I subbed and will be watching every video
Such an amazing song, and well played sir!
@cokejust7upedpepsi Agreed. Anyone who can play guitar or is learning guitar can see this cover is spot on. He also manages to get the tones for his covers completely matched making them sound that much better.
Been way too long. I've been jam'n many years and Dude you rock out!...... Give us a show... It's part of our Souls!
I clearly remember this at that time. And plus, lots of all that remains’ song.
Never said “congrats, dude”. You help me out a lot at that time
More KSE covers! You're a great guitarist! Such a great cover! Keep up the good work
@KillrBuckeye this is also my favorite KSE song and you did a great cover...
Dude, I've been watching your videos for a half hour now, and I've got to say you're a fucking beast. Keep up the great work.
ive always found this rift so freaking hard. you make it look like cake
I’ve actually hit the bell for an alert. Not sure really why if I think about it, but all I know if he comes back, it will be the biggest comeback in all of history
This floors me everyone. You feel it and let it flow and God bless you for it
you got their tone so spot on
geez, 16 years ago... loved this video when it came out
Esse cara é demais, foi um dos primeiro que escutei aqui no YT, infelizmente não encontrei mais videos dele, bateu até uma nostalgia aqui! Parabéns cara, você é incrível!
