Killswitch Engage - Numbered Days Playthrough

[@jasonrequa1893]

The guitar tone they have always has been better than most metal bands in my opinion.

[@truongnd1]

agreed ! KSE is a living walking breathing legend of a group ! no other group comes close imo

[@talbehar]

Hell yes.

[@ricksterdrummer2170]

Classic 90’s melodeath sound. 🤘 Today it’s all about as little gain as possible, close to no bottom-end and too much mids.

[@papscube]

I'm not sure, mate... Lamb od God's tone is actually fucking sick! Another example would be All Shall Perish's guitar tone in The price of existence album...

[@iskoy7861]

Lamb of god too

[@devinsinclair5254]

Both guitarists are legendary.. I love their groove.

[@thomasgrepne5638]

Adam D's picking hand is so solid

[@recipoldinasty]

Joels prob way more tight

[@adambomb138]

Adam always looks like he needs a bigger guitar. His big ol' hands always look so cramped up lol.

[@killdalamb3357]

@@adambomb138 I used to say the same thing because I have big hands too. But Adams showed me you can make it work lol. He makes it work and it doesn’t look uncomfortable.

[@uchia6980]

Killswitch engage has always been the pinnacle of metalcore for me, And this patricular album is all time best proof of that.

[@ewin1st]

always had a lot of respect for them as guitarist. they always say that they make mistakes when playing and learn from it. great band who respect there fans .

[@keevanski]

I miss those days!!! Thank you for playing this

[@robertocahuevos23]

That days is numbered

[@luisalmeida3202]

When Howard was there

[@TheDrogich]

that's real metalcore for ya kids ;)

[@МаркоПетков-к8к]

Goran Brezak Not Black gay brides or pierce the veil!Kse fathers of netalcore!!!!There are few good ones too(BFMV,ATR,AA....).

[@busski]

Marko Petkov ATR is more melodic death metal honestly

[@charliewielowski9242]

Goran Brezak don't forget early Trivium :-)

[@busski]

only early?

[@Metal4Life56]

russell2937 no. they're pop/punk mixed with metalcore. Easycore is term I believe. nothing death metal about ADTR.

[@devinsinclair5254]

I have heard and played quite a bit of metal guitar in my day.. but these guys.. they have such a unique sound.. it’s so deep and heavy but yet they put it all together in such a way that is rather melodic and actually beautiful... love their guitar playing.. the musics always pretty kick ass..

[@jazzyj4126]

My thoughts exactly

[@beanman2206]

the intro/ verse riff is seriously one of the heaviest things ever written!!

[@AsAugustSleeps]

I can't resist headbanging every time I hear it.

[@NandoGilMetal]

Killswitch is my absolute favorite band. Loved AOJB just as much as Incarnate. We need more of these play throughs Guitar World!!!

[@brobidart]

Yes please!!!

[@psyniac]

I sometimes forget just how off-the-wall the structure of this song is. Great stuff.

[@SuperCharleh]

psyniac definitely one of my favourites in all of metal... even including all the mad other shit a listen to... so good!

[@XMetalChefX]

What structure? This is the good old days. 25 riffs in one song lol

[@FloatingOnCloudNein]

PSMTCHEF the way it should be

[@tariqchaos6385]

kings of metalcore

[@Metal4Life56]

Tariq Chaos absolutely. undisputed kings.

[@alexanderr.f.1840]

No

[@gonzasoadEngage]

Always bro!

[@devinsinclair5254]

I am 30 years old and have been playing over a decade and like to believe I can tear it up myself, and I swear I have never watched a guitar video as many times as this one.. something about these 2 dudes riffing together is beautiful really.. its so heavy and deep, low, but virtually anything they have ever put together just has this melody to it.. they harmonize one another brilliantly and it just sounds,...... too damn good.. I’m off for my mission of learning everything they have ever put out.. but it’ll never be that same by yourself.. for sure..lol.. only these 2?guys can do this melodic metal they have going on so diversely. Hope they do it till their hands won’t let them anymore.

[@danparry834]

Devin Sinclair well said dude

[@rac50172015]

Fantastic duo, although I'd also say Morton & Adler have a video or two shredding through riffs without backing tracks.. mesmerizing stuff.

[@cjalmighty]

Love these guys, hope there's more of these videos coming!

[@JohnDoe-l1kmya5s]

Gosh I love these guys. They seem like awesome people in person.

[@sscamaro9144]

Alive or just breathing is one of my all time favorite albums! I remember listening to it from start to finish on repeat the entire year of 2005. It was like therapy for me. Love you guys! Keep on jamming!

[@MisterEko888]

this song is so freakin awesone. Not just the guitars..Its everything.. the arrangement and the Killer Vocals..That Chorus is one of my alltime favourites..

[@sunnys5150]

Will always love these guys! They really revived metal back in those early days when bands like Staind and Deftones were around.

[@MisterAutist]

Hey, Deftones are a great band and still popular

[@brobidart]

The“adam dutkiewicz price is right” * def an incredibly awesome guy and just so cool to watch him win round after round and then the showcase in the end!!!

[@brobidart]

Phenomenal tone - freaks really, how good they are - def a fan to the end!!!

[@campar1043]

those guitars are fuckin beautiful

[@colinparks619]

Agreed

[@The_JustJoshing]

And fuckin expensive haha

[@ZRisyad]

Adam D is the one guy who always wears shorts and pizza cap but still looks metal

[@Metal4Life56]

back when metalcore had actual riffs instead of constant breakdowns and djenting. Very few newer bands actually "riff" anymore.

[@tylersmith2849]

So true. Lately when I hear new bands I'm immediately bored. It's all the same djent bullshit. I miss the old school metalcore riffs with melody.

[@The_JustJoshing]

Same. Old school metalcore and deathcore are the best

[@charlehpock]

yep, back when metalcore was actually listenable. Just every kid gets on the scene now and goes "I can 0101010100011011101" and that's a new song... great. Then you have some bands actually trying to be creative like The Arusha Accord or Plini, or even Polyphia etc... I guess metalcore these days is metal for the masses, it's the metal equivalent of pop.

[@fromdepthswerise3024]

Their playthroughs are always so fucking clean! Gods amongst men

[@BrandonofRedemption]

They could do their whole discography this way!!!! It's been too long since they put out an official live concert

[@willvaughn6.395]

That tone !!!

[@jomaaeeee]

Them pinch harmonics 😍😍😍

[@luqmanr]

i see Adam's back on the caparison!

[@XMetalChefX]

That's his sig model

[@MrJakotic]

Wow! did not think I'd see a play through of a song as old as this but I love it keep them coming!!!

[@craigpatrick1]

I remember hearing this demo before the album came out and knew that music was about to change for the better AOJB is one of my favorite albums of all time and their riffs are so good that I had to learn them to rethink my songwriting structure! I sent my demo to Roadrunner and they liked it! Nothing ever happened cause of the band breaking up. But I shit you not that I had heard some of my riffs on later albums from roadrunner by different artists it’s just crazy!!!

[@SonOfManMusic]

Two of my guitar hero's. Great stuff.

[@franciscobautista1831]

One of my all favorite tracks from Killswitch. Aggressive, heavy, and just over all great song. The opening track from for Alive or Just Breathing like what an awesome start. Followed by Self Revolution then it just gets better through all the whole album. But this track is one of my favorites off of the album.

[@BathedInTorment]

Keep these kind coming.

[@JunkieMonkey321]

FUCK YES. need more of them. literally anything will be good. can really tell they enjoy playing this song. love them

[@twiztid133]

Some of the guitar parts sounds like in flames 🔥

[@richardrohr5106]

Best killswitch engage album ever!

[@AleKiefer95]

Pls upload moar videos of them playing, this is my favourite band

[@sunnys5150]

Ahhh KSWE!! Fn old school Numbered Days. Best album. Nothing after compared ImO Down since the early days!! Great vid.

[@nickpaquette2555]

Live Wire best albums were the first self titled and AOJB

[@jimho85]

GANDALF WILL RISE! to power... POTATOES FALL! to dust...

[@Teach_EM]

you cannot unhear this lol

[@rustycr0w]

I thought it was gay toffs when I first heard this as a kid lol. FYI a toff is a rich, upper class arsehole here in England.

[@keesvanderplas2453]

Hahahahah

[@richardteague5300]

I am so mad right now lol scrolling thru comments and when I seen this it was at the part of the play thru and I read it and can't unhear this 😁

[@louisxD]

Love this song!

[@devinsinclair5254]

Still legends in my eyes.. Adam is a beast..

[@Williamstanway]

more more more, love killswitch

[@chezm0th]

BEST SONG OF THEM EVER *for me

[@brobidart]

Agreed, it’s actually the first track for any run I do! Great tempo, plenty of aggression - probably the last real album (CD) I bought with the sole intention of supporting musicians I admired!

[@doomgazer69]

About to leave to see these guys in Cleveland!

[@Hanto_san]

One of my favorite song and album of Killswitch

[@LePoneyPosey76]

The beginning riffs are hypnotizing

[@ChillingwithMalc]

Love that album.

[@mercilessforever]

Joel and adam used to idk if they still do play the game “pinch drunk love” live where they pinch harmonic at eachother in the midst of songs. Its pretty f’n awesome to catch

[@AsAugustSleeps]

"Slop through a couple songs" - Plays flawlessly.

[@kbleskate]

What about a just barely breathing playthrough?... That would be sick!😈

[@Handplottedblackhole]

+kbleskate I'd love a live album of AOJB with the current live up, tbh. Relive when metalcore was still fresh.

[@justinsayswtf]

There was an entire tour like that a couple years ago lol with the current lineup and all.

[@kmidst_mz5094]

As far as I'm concerned, this is the defining Killswitch song.

[@LI_RAIZO]

I'm dying to learn that solo

[@skinny_sam]

I love playthrought ! I always learn a lot with them! Too bad there is no playthrough for every song they made! ahah

[@blagojcilakov2630]

2:54 - That's the riff!

[@GuitarSynysterGates]

The walking dead theme??

[@Gholdwayne]

Those guitars are sick! And their tone is on point! One of the times the celestion vintage 30 is actually good in.

[@voxxxytoyota6848]

2019, NOV. Adam still good !

[@LeonardoHenrique-dx8nq]

Obra prima, os melhores guitarristas de metalcore de todos os tempos. sem dúvidas❤

[@snapascrew]

I like how they didn’t film Joel during his bridge riff and how the guitar Audio is like 30ms behind the track. Come on guitar world.

[@JokerCat9]

They always skip the hardest part of the song!

[@Burning_Star_IV]

I know this comment is 2 years old but I was thinking the exact same

[@jomaaeeee]

That riff at 2:55 sounds a little like the walking dead

[@Handplottedblackhole]

+Osmar Garcia Kinda...Not quite.

[@rogerklotz8]

+Osmar Garcia It really does!

[@glenn2376]

I don't know much about that show but that's probably my favorite riff in the song.

[@snowmanj1]

+I Kiss Girls it kinda does

[@Nosh69696]

Kind of! But this song came way before the walking dead started, so probably no intended correlation

[@benjamincasey6617]

How are dead set hardcore sound can be made to sound so beautiful in parts is just mental.

[@kyelko]

potatoes fall..... to dust.... falllllll

[@kradylladel2785]

My favorite KSE song ever!

[@forestgod1845]

2:35 That chorus and riff! Ho-ly SHIT!!

[@Themarshmillowface]

Probably my favorite song by them

[@metalmatt3431]

I love Adam (my cape wearing brother): "all those braincells are dead by now" : )

[@hightimeswithseagore598]

those caparison's are so sick

[@thegodless2904]

Thanks for focusing on Adam through the middle 8 in stead of on Joel. I would have never understood such a complex pattern without it 🙄

[@mikeboxler759]

yea, I miss you guys too (just like I miss metallica) Keep it fun and it will reflect on your fans. when im sad, I want to listen to a happy good time song, when ime mad...same thing, when im happy, same.

[@charliebowen5071]

How big are Adams hands??? Steve vai watch out!

[@thekrevolution]

Love how Adam D always dresses like he's on vacation

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

Nice pizza hat bro, ever heard of pizza skateboards?

[@Jacob_Elwood]

3:38 is hype

[@higgsboson9509]

Adam D, the One Man Band.

[@Bassmeister_Jay]

Can you get Mike to do the bass playthrough?

[@VapourXY]

If you're a metalhead and you don't know this song.. I feel sorry for you lol

[@FloatingOnCloudNein]

VapourXY *this album

[@daviddenness5392]

adam plays drums? please stay on guitar. not cause your drumming was bad, but because your guitar is so fucking awesome. any time you here an adam, joel riff. you know it. they have such a unique sound. keep up the amazing work guys. fan for life

[@paulthoresen8241]

His drumming wasn't bad

[@Guitarplayer1469]

how could you dislike this?!

[@grafikko]

Thanks for that guys.

[@luisrodas297]

How many downstrokes do you want?. Joel, Adam: yes.

[@XMetalChefX]

Suprised they didnt change pickups, amps, and guitar companies mid lesson.... Just KIDDING love these guys and this track.

[@ezassegai4793]

PSMTCHEF Theyve been with caparison for quite some time. Adam had a short phase of weakness when he played parker guitars for a year or so haha but now they are back to their senses

[@daniele4513]

I'm not a a big fan of this band, but Adam always dress short pants still blows my mind (he's an amazing guitarist and inspiration, btw)

[@hops2099x]

"...There's two of me there..." Adam d makes me laugh every time

[@brobidart]

He’s a riot - I forgot he played all the drums too, man what a machine!!!

[@AlexCaranha]

Very good!

[@ardipithecus11]

Awesome. The tone is PHAT as well.

[@benfisher5137]

The best Killswitch Engage song lets be honest here

[@bigMCLR]

luv it

[@theders8590]

They always have an amazing sound. Anyone know what they're using by any chance?

[@hops2099x]

Pretty sure guitar world did a rig rundown with them somewhere on their channel, just use the search bar

[@mylusernameslJustin]

It sounds like Adams guitar is louder than Joel's.

[@ChazzyMcD]

They are just very skilled players, these two are one of the tightest duos in the game.

[@joshuagoudie2849]

What kind of guitars are those?

[@The_JustJoshing]

Caparison.

[@vixenvendettaofficial]

Awesome! =)

[@sunnys3325]

Way back when I heard this shit for the first time. It was like getting blasted in the chest by a cannon.

[@vegito9532]

Joel is awesome

[@v1LL3n_nZ]

YES!

[@AlcorebigfamsBlogspot]

Great

[@HamishMaguire]

Cool video but at 1:25 you can see they aren't playing what is going on in the audio.. no one is playing the chords.

[@Antoniusness]

+Hamish Maguire No one is there to sing either, its called a backing track

[@djentlee9064]

+Hamish Maguire lol

[@Freestyler913]

play at 0.25 speed at the beginning made my day xD ps : adam is drunk and Joel is high :D XD

[@theders8590]

1:21 Potatoes...Fall to dust!

[@guyfromthatthing1017]

Sounds like Aftershock and Overcast. How bout a reunion?

[@RayRayJr.]

It's crazy not to see Adam dancing.

[@ChirodipBasu25021994]

The size of Adam D's hands..god !

[@josecarcamo5713]

I wish i could be friend with Adam
