What a show. Adam's guitar was squeeling like a pig while KsE proves once again why they're one the top metal bands in the world.
The fact is the warped tour=shit without killswitch stealing the show at the tweeter center last night.

overrated band

TRL metal

Heavy and beautiful and not annoying and gimmicky

rilly said:

Definitely the latter...

whiny and disgusting and annoying and so gimmicky that the guitar player needs to act like an ass for anyone to notice him or his band

rilly said:

Fixed that for ya.

ive always though adam was funny, did anyone see the holy diver video?

At least these normal guys don't wear makeup and perform an absolute freak show. That's just his personality. If you need your band to record a cd, why don't you go to his studio and I bet he'll make you sound like a reincarnation of bach or beethoven. He sucks so bad that he has to act like a dink yet he sings, plays drums, plays guitar better than you while acting like a tool and he owns his own in demand recording studios(zing studios) Yeah he sucks!

Hey Rilly,

take a load off



... you seem butt-hurt

rilly said:

Wait, are you trying to defend this guy or making fun of him? I can't tell anymore.

He's easy to make fun of but he's earned everything he's got. Imagine if he'd record your cd for free. He might put out the most top notch discs right now.

that was actually quite hilarious... kinda snuck in under the radar. i like older KSE but this new stuff is just ... well not good.

rilly said:

Get this kid the fuck out of here. The day I care about the Warped Tour is.... well the day I care about Killswitch Engage. BOOOOOOO

I went to the warped tour once for the sake of getting laid. Worst collection of people and "bands" i have ever been around in my life.

i hate to tell you but over production is a terrible idea. it totally robs the music of personality.

Well let's your your music recorder that you stand by and are so proud of.

wait....what?

rilly said:

You sound like Bjork.

i love when people defend their favourite band, like they know them personally. aren't you a little old to be having an idol? that shit should stop after 13

DomesticTerror said:

I like when people drop the "u" into words.

What's your favourite colour?

SWEET!

p.s. kse should just go away, and Blood Has Been Shed should come back together and do their thing. Way, WAY better. I like all KSE stuff, but truthfully, th first Howard album and this new Howard album sound exactly the same, and I could take a few songs from each and be happy forever because the well ran dry long, long ago. Oh yeah, and dump out Shadow's Fall and recreate Overcast.

Murph said:


That came so close to fruition. They even re-recorded (or remastered?) the album but it couldnt get released i think because they didnt have time to tour behind it. booo.

rilly said:

ahem.

and I'm sure I've seen him on TV with a cape multiple times.

Better yet, they should buy the building where 8-Ball skate park used to be, re-open it, and force a reunited Overcast to play there again. Every night. At gunpoint.

custumes = funny. also, that was more than likely a halloween show. get over it.

FuckIsMySignature said:

Probably wasn't a Halloween show knowing him!

FuckIsMySignature said:

it was. headbanger's ball tour 2003, every band had costumes that night

everyone talking shit is pissed that KSE is successful and having a good time

oh, I'm not upset. The person who started the thread said the guy isn't gimmicky at all. I'm just saying he can be and giving proof.

that's more goofy than gimmicky. unless of course you mean his gimmick is his goofiness, but that's just his personality.

does this mean that black and death metal bands AREN'T gimmicky?

"This next song is about the time we went skiing and our singer fell down the mountain. Its called... When Darkness Falls"

sacreligion said:

once upon a time it was more than a gimmick. of course it was, but at least it had some kind of power to it.

sacreligion said:

they sure are. to clarify, I'm not hating on the guy at all. I mean, I've done my fair share of gimmicky shit.

i wish i could come up with a cool gimmick. i'm just not creative enough.

rilly said:

yawn, I am the only one who was already sick of this scene 10 years ago? They were one of the only bands there not sporting ked-wearing 45 year-old women's haircuts and makeup, but that doesn't make them special.

I think I might be closer to 6 years ago.

I miss Overcast.

overcast > shadows fall + killswitch engage x 2000 + infinity

FuckIsMySignature said:

get shitty like Jimbo before you go on stage, That one works for him haha

PS, I thought Adam D was in the Beastie Boys hahahahahah

Dwellingsickness said:

ya i tried that last weekend. the result was me doing back up vocals and then vomitting 3 times on some random person's truck. Never Stay Sober knows all about gimmicks now that i think of it.

ConquerTheBaphomet said:

Agreed.

Yet, "Spirals"-era BHBS is still one of the greatest of all time.

That shit is as good as freshly made Lebanese Meat Pies on the beach during a BJ and watching fats kids tempt drowning.

sacreligion said:

With them being on Roadrunner, I highly doubt that.

KSE is just another band that was once good, but decided they wanted more money and 15 year old emo chicks flashing them, which meant softening up a lot.

Just seems to me that yoda here knows everything

Murph said:


I listen to Spirals all the time. My copy of it is so worn out. "Greetings From The Gallows" is my favorite song.

id love to see killswitch play with jesse one more time, i know itd never happen, but thatd be awesome. i wonder how many songs from the first full length they still play. honestly, i love kse, but i deleted the new album after one listen, it sounded way to much like the last album with just more clean vocals, and more watered down parts, less riffage. i dont know, i used to love them, they are quite entertaining live, but i got sick of the whole thing. also saying that they were the best band on warped tour isnt saying much at all.

immortal13 said:

the majority of their stuff has always had that mellow hint to it, though. they essentially write pop songs in metal fashion, but i think they do it well which is why i stick up for them. let em do what they want, is all i'm saying.

i brought my younger brother to warped tour and actually had a pretty good time.

but calling KSE's set devastating is a bit of a stretch.

sacreligion said:

NO, THEY ARE GROUNDED. NO TV AND NO NINTENDO.
