Killswitch Engage showing you guys how to play This Is Absolution from guitar world magazine august issue. here's the link for HQ • Killswitch Engage Less...
Joel definitely has more chops on guitar, but calling adam untalented is stupid. he plays guitar, drums (originally), records bass, and is a GREAT producer who has produced countless bands.
@@Alex-xg2od some people are so full of themselves that they have to create problems when there are none just as an excuse to climb up on the high horse. I bet jml is a Bernard Brother.
Joel is a very humble guy. There are glimpses of his incredibly slick technique all over the place but it tends to blend into the mix without being that obvious. I just think Adam and Joel have different strengths.
The typical 'metalhead' mentality on the comments' section here where people think just because Adam states that Joel plays clean, that he is not up to standard. That's not what he was insinuating at all. Grow up people, seriously.
well if they watched more of what adam d says about joel they would know that hes the real mastermind behind alot of the riffs, adam just adds a few parts to hash it out.
"Joel plays clean". More of a statement about the quality of Joel's playing than a legit burn. I love the sound of both these guys before anybody kicks off.
this is the best instructional video EVER. wanted to learn this song for a while and never could with the tabs. learned it in a half hour with this video. KSE RULES!!!!
If he only had just a smidge of distortion when Joel plays that clean part.....I think it would sound closer to the record. Like seriously, a very tiny amount.
I wouldn't say that Killswitch Engage is my favorite band (but they are awesome), but it's hard to find better guitarists than these two...not to mention, they're fucking hilarious.
@thedonutboy21 all you do is play the correct note with the volume turned down, and then use the volume dial to quickly turn the volume up and down at the right time. (I think it might be 2nd fret for one of them and 12th for another on drop C, but not sure...)
@guitarMetal911 I respect both guys equaly, (huge fan and all) but don't forget that Adam also produces a number of bands including KSE (exept the latest album) and he used to play drums in early killswitch.
This is for all of you who have no idea what guitars are; Adam D is playing A parker fly , Joel plays a Caparison deliner or a Angus. These guitars have the valor of 3000$-5000$
@0HamSlamwich0 Peavey 5150/splawn nitro/framos cobra + mesa cabinate + Maxon d808(like a ibanez ts but better) some delay+ emgs pick ups bridge 85 neck 81 +Dr strings 0.12 DROP C + skills= AMAZING TONE if you want to be cheap get a peavey 6505 + ibanez ts + emg picks ups + skils
oh, that's right. I forgot about that. haha. Well, I know they used boogies in their older performances and Ive talked to Joel and he said that they used Boogies for recording back then. I'm assuming that they used Boogies at some point then :)
I honestly love anything played in dropped C tuning because it gives that "heavy yet melodic" vibe! But I'm also a sucker for drop B tuning like from bands like mudvayne, parkway drive etc... to name a few!
OMG the sound coming from these customs are sexier then Angelina Jolie! Even though she's not really sexy but THIS GAVE ME AN EARGASM!!!! Especially Adam's custom
@guitarMetal911 Both of them are great, Adam spices things up with jokes, not because he does not have as much talent as Joel. He is the producer for many bands, including AILD and you call that not as much talent? Just saying.
as a guitar player, joel is a little more advanced, and you're saying overall adam is better, but we truthfully don't know joel's potential and ability with other instruments so we can't be sure in that regard..
