| _____________________________________ [May 8,2009 1:57am - quintessence ""] I like how they can play one handed. such skillful riffs. Oh and the dudes with glow sticks in the moshpit. Man I love real metal. Nothing gets me so hard for other men's asses as KSE. |
| _________________________________________ [May 8,2009 8:54am - largefreakatzero ""] I really hope you are kidding about liking this horrific band. |

| __________________________________ [May 10,2009 1:51am - metalguy ""] I don't understand why people hate this band. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 10,2009 11:54am - MillenialKingdom ""] Because they've turned into a band for 14 year old girls. |
| ___________________________________ [May 10,2009 12:25pm - metalguy ""] I don't know if that is the reason. People on this board have been hating them since Jesse was still in the band. I can agree on some extent to what you are saying there. I just feel like there are worse bands being way more gay than Killswitch Engage. |

| _____________________________________ [May 10,2009 6:40pm - Sacreligion ""] Doesn't that DVD have guitar overdubs on it? |
| _______________________________ [May 10,2009 8:34pm - Hoser ""] These guys are just plain amazing. The only people who are outspoken about hating them are the true scenesters and those who don't recognize true musicianship. These dudes have never sold-out / gone gay. The mallcore crowd picked them up as fast as they could, but that does by no means make the band gay. |

LOL @ "turned" I'll always like their first 2 albums. I think after Howard joined the band, they became really mainstream and emo. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2009 10:35pm - xanonymousx ""] seeing them with slayer |
| ___________________________________ [May 10,2009 11:37pm - dertoxia ""] i remember i had to sit through a KSE set because they were on the same show as Cryptopsy and Suffo i think it was. They were trying to be as BR))TAL as possible by talking about their boogers and how they ate pizza and it made them fart. It came across as them really trying hard to reach the audience and completely failing. |
| ___________________________________ [May 10,2009 11:42pm - dertoxia ""] that moron with the faux hawk and the stupid ass cutoff shorts pisses me off so much. come to think of it i think it was that loser who was telling the stories about his brutal boogers trying to be "metal". Fuck this band. |
| ___________________________________ [May 10,2009 11:51pm - metalguy ""] they made jokes. instead of growling in between songs. sense of humor?! last time i checked they weren't stand up comics. so what the hell is the big deal if they make lame jokes? |
| ___________________________________ [May 11,2009 12:26am - dertoxia ""] i never said jokes. he was trying to talk about boogers and diarrhea in a lame attempt to be dark and brutal. The same way as a kid who walks out of a hot topic carrying their job for a cowboy cd with their eyeliner and extra baggy pants might say "this is sick yo, i'm gonna go listen to my new cd while i comb my hair and organize my arm bands, brutal huh?" it's fucking pathetic and lame |
| _________________________________ [May 11,2009 12:33am - ernie ""] too bad even that kid would call you a dork |

| _______________________________ [May 11,2009 7:56pm - Hoser ""] I don't condemn anyone that hates them. I just happen to dig the shit out of the guitar work, particularly how awesome their use of pinch harmonics sounds. They never seem to miss a pinch. We used a ton of pinch harms in HCN and I used to miss them here and there...that sucked. I also dig Howards voice, he's talented as hell with his cleans. |
| _______________________________ [May 11,2009 10:14pm - Lamp ""] Saw these guys back in 2004, yawned the whole way through. |
| __________________________________ [May 12,2009 6:29am - metalguy ""] I definitely think the guitar playing is top notch. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 2:18pm - OldSchool ""] gonna see Slayer and I don't appreciate this Killswitch is Gay band at all. Every "fan" they have is a little teen. My nephew loves them and he is 14 and brags about Guitar Hero and thinks they are the contenders of heavy metal (he doesn't even know a Slayer song). I find them annoying and for me do not consider them metal. Maybe I am a traditionalist or elitist, so be it but this band really bothers me. From the antics on stage to their fanbase to the actual music. It does not appeal to me. It seems to appeal to non-metal fans, granted this world is about money so... I plan on skipping them on Mayhem, i just wish they weren't playing before Slayer. I like the term a lot of people are using, "Killswitch is Gay", sorry this stuff in my opinion is nothing more than radio friendly pop rock $$$ making junk... |
| _________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 2:28pm - oscarct ""] never really got into this band. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 2:30pm - oscarct ""] Joe Bosso of MusicRadar.com recently conducted an interview with SLAYER guitarist Kerry King. During the chat, which is available for streaming and/or download at this location, King discusses the making of the band's new album, "World Painted Blood"; his B.C. Rich signature series guitars; and he even answers some of the readers' questions. When asked about the reports that SLAYER once threw KILLSWITCH ENGAGE off one of its tours, King said "We actually didn't get able to. I tried. Because I'd never seen 'em live, and then I saw them live at some, I don't know, maybe at Kerrang! Awards over in Europe. And I'm just offended by the silliness that goes on on stage [on the part of] the guitar player [Adam Dutkiewicz]. He puts his foot in his mouth all the time and he says stupid shit, and I just didn't think that side show should be on my stage. So I pulled the plug on the spot, but on that particular Jägermeister tour, we didn't have any product and they did, so Jäger kind of insisted, and I went... They're all friends of mine, so I said, 'OK, I'll deal with it.' Still don't like it." In the February 2008 issue of Sweden's Close-Up magazine, SOULFLY/ex-SEPULTURA frontman Max Cavalera described the experience of seeing a KILLSWITCH ENGAGE live show. "I went to see LAMB OF GOD in that States and they were alright, but KILLSWITCH ENGAGE opened and it was the gayest show I've ever seen," he said. "I was like, I'm not part of this scene, it's fucking gay.' They were acting like they were U2 and I was like, 'Hmm….' The attitude was so ridiculous. I don't know these guys, they're on my label [Roadrunner] and all, but it was completely disappointing and gay. Like really lame, such a lame band live, everything about the whole attitude. LAMB OF GOD came out and destroyed them and I don't even like LAMB OF GOD that much, but they were so much better coming after KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. I was like, 'If that's what the scene is about, hey fuck it, it ain't got nothing to do with me.'" SLAYER has just made another track from its upcoming album, "World Painted Blood", available for streaming at Shockhound.com. The limited-edition single, a Kerry King composition, is titled "Hate Worldwide", and is available exclusively as a CD-single at Hot Topic stores beginning today (Tuesday, July 28). "It's a really cool track, and Tom's [Araya] voice sounds incredible on it," said King. "The last line in the song's chorus is '..spread a little hate worldwide,' and that's what we've been doing for 25 years." "World Painted Blood" was recorded in Los Angeles over two time periods, during October 2008 and then between late January and March 2009. The CD was produced by Greg Fidelman, who's spent time in the studio with METALLICA, THE GOSSIP, THE (INTERNATIONAL) NOISE CONSPIRACY, SLIPKNOT and others, and executive-produced by longtime SLAYER colleague Rick Rubin, who suggested Fidelman for the project. SLAYER — bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, and drummer Dave Lombardo — is currently co-headlining the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with MARILYN MANSON, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, and BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, among other |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 2:59pm - OldSchool ""] after watching (and wasting my time) various vids on youtube of them and seeing how this adam guy behaves on stage, makes me even more angry. its like one big joke. There are other new bands that deserve a slot before slayer that would outdo these clowns. The stuff that comes out of that guys mouth is idiotic. but since their fan base consist of immature kids then i guess he's got to act like one... geeeeez. Looking forward to Slayer... |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 3:06pm - arilliusbm ""] I saw Adam Dutkiewicz at Fire & Ice in Cambridge one day and he was an idiot there too. He's a Berklee grad, watch out! |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 3:07pm - arilliusbm ""] Wait, is there a Fire & Ice in Cambridge? Forgot where the F&I is in Boston, it was years ago. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 3:59pm - godfuckingdamnit ""] ugh, theres this dude at my work that LOVES killswitch engage. he'll always take his earbuds out when everyones standing around talking and just let it blast so everyone can hear it until someone inevitably asks "What is that?" to which he replies "its KSE dude" and then acts all suprised when no one knows what the fuck kse means. i want to punch him in the face |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 4:17pm - goatcatalyst ""] You should. Do it. Or your a puzzeh |
| _________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 4:20pm - MikeOv ""] Max Cavalera is in no position to be calling anyone gay. Old Sepultura kills, but he jumped on the nu metal trend and was all about it. What's worse? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 4:21pm - MikeOv ""] Same goes for Kerry (Fairy) Queen. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 4:23pm - MikeOv ""] Kerry Queen is the same guy who said when Meshuggah toured with them, they were "too extreme" for his liking. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 5:00pm - The_Rooster ""] Talentless hacks. Seeing the singer reminded me of why I hated seeing BHBS live. No fucking energy cocky douche bag. How do bands like this get so fucking successful. Really kind of pisses me off. I do sound for 100 bands/year that play the same type of shit, and the fashion models dorks at the shows all go sick for every one of them. And in defense of Max and Kerry, they've paid their dues. Even their worst material is 1,000,000,000x better than anything Adam Doucheowitz or whateverthefuck his name is, has written. |

You like some shitty bands.....ala killswitch engage, dimmu borgir, stone temple pilots.......and many more. I gathered this in reading yer posts through the years.......nothing personal. I only wish I could think of more examples. Gayswitches Holy Diver cover is an atrocity of the highest order.... |

If the music is great, who gives a shit about the "scene" that they are a part of, or whether or not Kerry King likes them?? Seriously, if I like the music, I loudly attest that I dig it. I could care less about what is "popular." Which is quite apparent as you all know. I'm the farthest thing from popular on this board, from my musical tastes to my political tastes, at least I'm honest, and not a bandwagonite like many people on this board... |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 29,2009 8:09pm - BlackoutRick ""] BHBS in myh opinion is better. I still like Killswitch but I've had my share of seeing them. I don't go to their shows anymore cuz I've seen them too many times and their shows are ALWAYS the same. And the last two records (just bought the new one and the production is top notch with a little help from Brendon O'Brian) are just "eh" to me. Also the Holy Diver cover is horrible |
