[amanmittal23192]

thumbs up if you noticed the cat at 2:10

[TheSillehfish]

bit sketchy on the solo, but still a great cover :D

[SINBrutal99]

I have another question. Do you use backing tracks with the guitar cancelled out, or do you just put the song on, and play along with the band?

[SINBrutal99]

After 4 years, this is still a great cover. Do you learn songs by ear, or look up tabs on the internet for them?

[843andrew]

@SINBrutal99 i cant remember the last time he posted anything....who knows if he would answer..anyway check out his website...it would say and it has the tabs to this and many more

[Mrtluabiht]

I like your tumble-dryer! That fuckin' guitar hides it.

[gabrielwag]

[enjoinicejeans]

CAT!

[STariq93]

and who says gingers dont have souls...

[lucam123]

why doesn´t he make any videos anymore?

[mooonproductions]

@lucam123 I wished he would make abunch more gutair covers but he is a busy father now with a wife and 2 kids i think, i understand why he doesn't make any more videos beig a father of 2 kids can be really busy but i wish he would come back and make some more and hopefully one of his kids she/he would take on his talent.

[sykhophaunt7]

lol 1:49 his cat in the background makes a special appearnace !! :P

[RANDOMCHILDBAM]

Im loving that the beginning of this is very easy to play.

[TravisMaxima]

@RANDOMCHILDBAM But than it goes downhill from there. All though I can play the whole thing.

[sykhophaunt7]

in the bginning he plays power chords with a different shape on the 5th and 3rd string .... what are those chords ??

[puppetrat]

@sykhophaunt7 those are octaves, it contains the same note but lower and higher, you also have to mute all the other strings as he does in the video

[dayglo98]

oooh why arent you doing the little fill at 2:05 :O ! Its my favorite part to play coz i dont know many riffs that use string skipping in such an awesome manner, but congrats on the job and solo

[OlSwampy122]

cover shogun!

[Hustler4Life1987]

awesome cover man how long have you been playing?

[maniactre]

Whats the tunning

[MultiNatester]

Dude, are you in a band?

[dayglo98]

@MultiNatester dropped D ! this song kicks ass

[mathar1990]

Nice cat and nice playin' man :)

[robertcbaseball]

whoever disliked this likes dick in their mouth

[drjakim]

@rr15100 its pretty good. i still think the best is yet to come. but so far i like what i hear. sounds different. u?

[ARTISTICLYSTUPID]

dam this is more than 4 years old

[DirtyMikeyDirtyMikey]

@ARTISTICLYSTUPID

He blew up for awhile in this sea of Youtube guitarist, even has a couple of originals, but kids happened, and now he won't release anything ever. He didn't last year, and so far this year, nada.

[ARTISTICLYSTUPID]

@DirtyMikeyDirtyMikey Well at least hope he still plays n gets better...This guy inspired me to keep on playing.

[DirtyMikeyDirtyMikey]

@ARTISTICLYSTUPID He is just dealing with work and two kids. Kids are expensive. And require waaaay too much attention lol. But on his website,

[blackparade26]

the fak...O_o

[drjakim]

@rr15100 yeah i guess it would be good. hope theres gunna be badass songs on the new album

[master18666]

@drjakim Knowing Trivium there will be more than a couple of badass songs :D

[drjakim]

@rr15100 lol have u seen someone cover the solo? its fuckin crazy

[TheDragonOfAnger]

i think the cat should do a cover

[dtay333]

"A Gunshot to The Head of Trepidation" would be an a sick Trivium song to see KillrBuckeye do.

[drjakim]

@dtay333 nah that song isnt that hard. into the mouth of hell we march we be cooler i think

[xXxZODIACxXx]

@dtay333 Fuck yeah!

[MentalyptiC]

Cover Head up High by Firewind

[neooo93]

[worot5]

молодец ахиренный чувак



[AntOfTheSky1990]

AWESOME DUDE!!

[XxxFTIOxxX]

IM IN LOVE WITH THAT ESP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sXe170]

I still dont understand how you can get such a good signal with a Line 6 pod 2.0. I cant get a good tone with mine for shit. Any help? anyone?

[Krossceeper1234]

That looks like some pretty intense picking required, fairly quick picking / chord changing, solo loooks hard as fuck. Id say its difficult.

[lxXTaCoXxl]

HOORAY FOR THE DAYS WHEN KILLER BUCKEYE WAS JUST AS GOOD AT GUITAR AS I AM NOW! HAHA :D

[drjakim]

killrbuckeye did awesome in this but just from watching this cover i cant really see what was so hard. the solo is the only thing i could tell was difficult.

[psychoticmondays]

@drjakim well then post some videos of your talent if its not that hard

[drjakim]

@psychoticmondays i didnt say it wasnt hard i said just from watching the video i couldnt tell wat was so hard

[psychoticmondays]

@drjakim  oh ok. fair enuff : )

[SpearShark]

kirk hammet sucks!

[desiremyvids]

can i get u anything like a glass of legendness

[truthfulandyou]

most people have hobbies, you have a talent your skills with the guitar is very impressive hope you keep doing these solo's in the future on i enjoy listeining to them they are completely(spell check) flawless and keep me in a magnanimous mood.

[Fatacemcafee]

the best part is whent eh cat came into scene, and the guitar solo <333

[xcaliburness]

[Iqw3rty]

2:10 cat.

[ScreamAimFire03]

You are a metalcore genius! Ha you totally don't have the look but it doesn't even matter. You're the best man! Keep it up! Love your work!

[CleanAndDistorted]

his pinky is so fucking big

[bomberlink]

I'll be impressed once he plays Just Breathe by Demon Hunter that solo is sick! (not to say im not already impressed)

[MrPhillba]

hey dude, nice fuckin cover! and like the finger inlays too

[MrWoWasdf]

go look at a live vid of them now, their a lot better live now

[kunio2]

2:07 makes me laugh - metal cat rulez \m/

[walker4564]

anyone who doesn't like this is munted in the brain. This how it's played.

[CutDorothy]

I always lol about him saying "I'm attempting to play ..."

I'm attempting not to be flashed by him. I failed.

[AkiraKun91]

pretty difficult???this song is fucking impossible o.o

[choke96]

first thing i noticed was that you have a fucking awasome guitar!

[SixStringsBroken]

I'm just waiting for the cat to attack his amp in one of these.

[s6p6]

cat looks mean @ 1.51

[MeStewieGriffin]

You should re do this...Great job, but you've gotten better.. Re do it :D

[Dagmarithesly]

Awesome work man!!!! That's really cool, your cat is adorable by the way! :D

[KevinJbwkz]

that solo is garbage ahhaha

[MxoscarxT]

CAT!!!!! O.O

[disiper360]

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK HE SHOULD COVER THE CRUSADE BY TRIVIUM !!

[parabola675]

cat ran from how awesome you are

[Sonicpizza117]

God.

[yourjnightmare]

2:13 there is always your cat in the videos xD

but nice cover

[Restodruid66]

Hey there KillrBuckeye! Long time fan of yours man. I was just curious if you could send me just the guitar tracks of a few songs. Keep in mind i dont disbelieve you at all that you're playing. Its simply that im 16 and still a learning metal guitarist and it would be able to cleanly hear the solo guitar track throughout along with the tabs so I have an idea of how quickly notes are comming at me. Thanks man! Much love from the Virginia metal community!

[Restodruid66]

@Restodruid66 Be Helpful to be able to cleanly ... blah blah blah. Whoops haha

[SixStringsBroken]

@Restodruid66

Sorry to latch myself onto your comment, but you've written mine for me minus the bit about Virginia. If KB sees yours, I'd like nothing different from what you just asked.

[Restodruid66]

@SixStringsBroken lol! Its cool man. I just love guitar no matter who's playing. Whether its KB or SixStringsBroken ;D haha. Keep rockin man.

[fireduckymoo]

this is easy to copy the notes when u play. ur completely godly at guitar. keep going to get better. oh wait. u dont need to be better. xD silly me.

[LORENZOMETAL89]

dude can u post the settings of this on your site for the pod x3??

[MrIKTPQ4life]

This douche went to a video of a dude covering Within the Ruins' "Call of the Wedding" and started talking shit. Seriously, type in "within the ruins cover" in the search bar and scroll down 'till you see the "Call off the Wedding" cover, click on it, and go to the second page of comments. KillrBuckeye probably did that because the dude has more talent in his left nut than he (KillrBuckeye) has in his entire body.

Oh, how could I forget, you ruined the solo with that hammer-on/pull-off section.

[konothecook]

@MrIKTPQ4life How about we don't and just assume you're a trolling douche bag? BTW your profile looks like something a faggot cum dumpster puked up. Go die in a gas fire you anonymous zero.

[MrIKTPQ4life]

@konothecook Actually, I'm not a troll, I'm subscribed to KillrBuckeye. Sorry for being creative, I'm obviously the exact opposite of you. Oh, wish me death, mature. And if you think I'm lying, I'll type the quote right now. KillrBuckeye's comment on the video, "Typical prog metal elitist. Figures.". He calls him a PROG METAL elitist on a Tech Death video. And I don't see how the guy was an elitist.

[drweird69]

fark......u shred cunt,good work :)

[famous187er]

im a drummer myself but i watch all of your videos, you are amazing, very talented, by far the best ive come across on youtube. You can totally tell how much you love playing in every video you never get cocky about it. Thumbs up and keep the bad ass covers coming this way

[joejames3794]

LOL at the cat! Awesome cover! Honestly the best cover guitarist on YouTube by FAR.

[roel4nd]

You`re my hero :)

[ThePoop1230]

epic

[Sonicpizza117]

And the winner for most badass youtube guitar cover-ist, goes to this beast. This is seriously motivating.

[Gzimdeliu1]

GREAT COVER as always

[dragonskater994]

you should do a cover of the crusade by trivium. if you could do that i'd probably shit myself

[LTKirbyPower]

NICE! TRIVIUM FTW!

[JoeyS880]

[FrancescoSogaro]

[handikapskater]

metallica and trivium are good. but as far as skill...metallica has 20+ years on trivium

[SlowCh33t4h]

NONONO

[mrloner666]

@SlowCh33t4h its funny cuz your no where near this good :P

[an6el0fdeath]

[k4dwood1]

one of the greatest songs by the greatest band in the world

[xX0UndegrounD0Xx]

jajaja esta bueno el gatito 1.51

[Kabior95]

Trivium rules ! Killrbuckeye rules ! Do we need something else? I don't think so. Trivium is just epic. Don't know why so many people don't like them favourite band. And Killrbuckeye is epic, too. With his own songs. :)

[ShAdoWkilla7777]

FUCK YEA!!!!! \M/

[Cowboy742617000027]

[Shadowsolid]

[damez123]

[cocoamonkey]

[motorola374]

[Ralpheeeeeee]

151 - 156 Ninjah cat!

[Ralpheeeeeee]

This guy has a really good taste in music!

[Steveharrisable]

People hat trivium cause in such a very young age they were able to create such sophisticated Metal..... Dude Matt heavy is proud of ya man :):):):) I wish I cold play like you...

[TheRuination]

@Steveharrisable Heafy :')

[gracemarievaldes1]

omgggggg yu ruleeee dude i wish u could teacch me to play like that

[sexeh77]

2:16 - background cat does not approve ^_^

[slayer55907]

lolol i think i see a drum set in the background and a cat that is going to the other room to headbang

[dogfishlol]

You fucking rule man...

The reason people hate on Trivium is because they're so "young" and still rapes the shit out of the old legends. Who knows what epicness Trivium will make in the future..

[TheHungryShredder1]

@dogfishlol im 16, and trivium are one of my fave bands. They make music like NO OTHER BAND! they kick bullets ass by far. i have to say though, still metallica are untouched by trivium, sick cover of master of puppets :) the crusade is a legendary instrumental :D TRIVIUM \m/

[Silverone43]

@TheHungryShredder1 i agree i got really sick of BFMV altho they are pretty good but Trivium is sooo amazing of course nothing touches Metallica but i think Shogun is like Trivium's ...And Justice For All

[wpm2011]

@Silverone43 and their next album will be their Black Album XD

[jayce1231]

@dogfishlol eh. this has nothing to do with the video(which is excellent obviously) but Trivium has lost their edge on the last 2 albums imo. sounds like a hackcopy of metallica their future hasnt seemed as bright as their past

[jayce1231]

@dogfishlol this has nothing to do with the video(which is excellent obviously) but Trivium has lost their edge on the last 2 albums imo. sounds like a hackjob metallica their future hasnt seemed as bright as their past .sadface at Triviums new stuff

[MrTshoff]

@jayce1231 Their new album supposedly is gonna rock your face until it cant stand to be rocked any longer.

[psychaospath]

@dogfishlol I agree, they just couldn't touch Metallica in their lifetime. Metallica haters hate cuz u wish u were them.

[NeoMetalx]

@psychaospath Metallica was one of the most innovative of >their< time. As far as difficulty and skill goes... Trivium will wipe their asses with em'.

[M3talNov4]

@dogfishlol That's totally Right dude!

[trivcob91]

@dogfishlol Fucking agree.. !!

[Dimebag08RIP]

@dogfishlol "Rapes the shit out of the old legends", there's a contradiction if ever i've seen one.

[PreyForMyDeth]

@dogfishlol read in guitarworld that they're going back to Drop D and want the new album to be more like Ascendancy.

[TheRavic23]

@dogfishlol they're not so great live...i think thats why people dislike them

[OldCryptopsy]

@dogfishlol lol no cus there are bands like violator , fueled by fire , evile which are very young the real metalheads `thrashers` we hate trivium because they think they make thrash metal but they dont they make trash metal and metalcore they suck ass

[XxBFMV24xX]

@OldCryptopsy they dont think they make thrash you dumb asshole they are a hardcore metal band but they have made one thrash album and they dont suck just because you dont like them they are really talented so fuck you faggot and go listen to the bullshit you like and stop commenting on here if you dont like it

[bigfleabag]

@dogfishlol Their new albums went soft. :(



[troyA234]

@dogfishlol I'd say Ascedancy was an amazing album and it kinda went downhill when they got compared to metallica and tried too hard to sound like metallica

[ventor11225]

@troyA234 But then they made a huge comeback with Shogun.

[BJ219]

I know this sounds weird, but I first heard this song in the Fall, so it makes me think of autumn temperatures and football season, lol
