Parkway Drive - Original version 2004 - Smoke em if ya got em

[Linkonpark100]

Hey, didn't Don't Close Your Eyes have a different EP cover?

[Inzomnia263]

I like this one better because of 3:30

[TheMaggotChicken]

I love this version more than the version on KWAS. Its more raw and seems to have more energy. The sloppiness adds to it, well I think anyway.

[creedencelearwater]

Don't give shit, this version has the balls.

[HappyYodeler4]

I laughed my ass off at 0:54 .......broken

[tkmaster17]

@ROBxATH broken... :P

[yellowriver23]

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEE

[auxpower]

the middle part sounds a lot better with the that dirty harmonized chord instead of the pinch harmonics

[lyx23]

@ROBxATH i was just thinking that haha

[rossjensen]

ohhhhhhhh fuck it all

[standingonyourshadow]

I like this version, maybe because I killed this one before the newer was released.



[MrPheebo]

I must say that I like this version a lot better. Just sounds more intense to me.

[iwillwait]

That's hilarious...

[HellFieker]

Man oh man, this is some shit that should be kept and passed on to younger generations, fuck star wars, i'm going to pass on my IKTPQ/PWD Split album and everything down to Deep Blue to my brother.

[lalafatboy]

this is the better version of this song i rekon

[JustNOreYES]

bvcxxcvbnm,mnbvcvb

Sorry, I was wiping the tangerine juice off my keyboard.

[creedencelearwater]

this version way better

[muskegorunner]

i must say, demo/ep versions of songs seem to be much more enjoyable.

[fryer234]

i thought he said blood soaked mammaries

it goes well with a punjab headbang

[BoDoMbChTrR7]

if they put the recorded vocals from this version over the music from killing with a smile version, i think it would be sweeeet sounding.

[CamroniProductions]

Broken...... BUUUUHHHHHHRRRROOOOOKKKEEEEENN­NNNNNN

[elemENTRYDa444]

I think the scream is nice at the beginning. ;D

[eddman76O]

FUCK IT ALL!!!! thank you, Australia for this EPIC, LEGENDARY band...

[BDean97]

damn the ending is soo fuckin epic

[4ueyescream]

the sound quality is bad

but its so much better that way :)

its more raw instrumentals

[HaFuckYOiLoveMetal]

i have this version on the phone didnt like it so much

[swannymanM12]

both verison are sweet as!

[charlesridings]

This version is way better imo. It's more heavy and fucking awesome.

[XDerLockenkopfX]

i fucking love this version :D

[HeadHunteR1988]

broken? BROKEEEEEEEEEN!

[maniacaljello]

The only reason I like this one better is because of the "fuck it all!" in the end, other than that, both version are equally good to me.

[19andrew94]

0.57 made me lol bearing in mind I've only ever known the album version until I just found this. Interesting, but I prefer that version by miles.

[Corkscrew123456743]

This had the second vocalist from the original PWD if anyone was wondering as to why Winston doesn't sound like himself all the way through

[nellings6]

their dvd totally inspired me to keep up with my music as a guitarist

[jacksonmatee]

this is better then the one off killing with a smile

[linkgcuk]

much better than the killing with a smile version

[Whamesl0l]

i love parkway drive

[HuntTheFallen]

I really like this version tbh, i'm in the process of recording demos tracks of my own, so its really interesting to hear how a band like parkway went about doing theirs! if anyone gets a chance, check out my tracks on my page. i'd really appreciate any comments/ratings or any opinion you may have!!! :)

[foolsgoldsoma]

And for those wondering...yes...PWD will be at warped this year!!

[bttweeder]

@foolsgoldsoma i saw them in saint louis...i pooped my pants.

[IwannaTouchThis]

@foolsgoldsoma Ill buy the tickets just for this band.

[Bear261186]

I've got 3 versions of this song, Ep version as above, killing with a smile version and my all time fav the Demo version

[somechips]

this versions betterrrrrrrrr

[brendon388]

there both the same

[Bear261186]

@brendon388 subtle changes other then sound quality, for eg the pinch harmonic at 0.31 instead of the new version where it rings out

[IgiveyouPain]

I like this version better, much more raw!

[chahiggins]

i kinda sound like these vocals alittle bit

[frozemetalcorepunk20]

is it just me or both versions are the same??

[metalmusicONLY]

i love both parts of this one i prefer to the newer version and the other way round both awsome

[shootingducks1]

i find them both excellent my fave song and kickass breakdown

[Godismybiffle24]

i honestly enjoy both versions equally. if your a big fan. does it matter? i think everything they make is awsome

[showtimederek]

that breakdown at the end of the song is pure brutality. Good stuff.

[blueberrypanjake]

YES, this is the one i started listening to.. but then i always could only find the other version..

[DETHFROMTHEGRAVE666]

I Love the old Version because of the industrial Sound it has to it and that it included more of the original lyriks then the New One but i have to say that the vocal work is bettet in the rerecorded Version

[PullThePlug88]

I like this version, because I think Adam D's work and the newer Parkway albums sound a bit to 'clean' if you know what I mean.

[foolsgoldsoma]

New version is tighter, sound is better, and guitar work/drums technically are more impressive.

This is simply more of a "demo" version of the song and demos are typically less exciting and sound quality isn't as good.

[oldelpaso678]

Yes, but this version is more raw and feels alot better to listen to.

[foolsgoldsoma]

@oldelpaso678

Agreed.

[Jotun90]

@foolsgoldsoma It sure is, I mean I love parkway drive, but come on, the mixing at "escape" at 0:21 is pretty ridonkulous :P

[nativeluvarasta]

@foolsgoldsoma indeed :)



[turfdancer78]

@oldelpaso678 yes its way better then the new one

[Godismybiffle24]

@oldelpaso678 plus the FUCK IT ALL breakdown at the end makes me pee a little

[evanlovestdwp]

@foolsgoldsoma yeah obv evreyone agrees the newer version is better in so many ways. but at the very same time this version is better. just cuz of the raw crappy sounding recording and the parts that dont fit. its like your listening to em live back then. which is why i love both versions.

[MrSkull96]

@foolsgoldsoma i like the sounding of the demo, but they sould have recorded it better and put on album exactly like this but better quality

[COONBASHER666]

@foolsgoldsoma you have no idea.

[quackster95]

@foolsgoldsoma Dude, if you call this a demo, you are a dumbass.

Parkway Drive's EP album was their original start in aussie.

they made this there and created it with pure talent.

the new, and edited version is good, yes. But this is the origin. the real start.

No demo.

[projessecake]

New version is far better, the intro transition, the twin tapping, the breakdown squeals, its all better.

[iLoveLaurenandLordi]

@projesscake I have to agree. They have come a HELL of a long way, and it shows in their albums. This is good, no doubt. But it doesn't quite compare to their new stuff.

Killing with a smile is just them being brutal.

Horizons is them being epic, imo.

[tanman1234543]

new version is better by far

[foolsgoldsoma]

There are numerous subtle differences between this and the album version.

[hametfan]

i dont like the snare in this one, and all else is almost the same

[Yackster01]

mate the snare is one of the best parts haha

[xavieragummochy]

whats the difference anyway??

[lurkabull]

I don't know why, but i rather this version.

Don't get my wrong, i like both versions, this one just has a kind of , i gues you could call it "Industrial feel, it sounds like metal does. Sure, the clean vocals suck and the beat down seems a bit too dragged out, but i personally rather this song to the newer version. 5*

[Yackster01]

same.. i think the double kick sounds alot better in this one

[dtharkins]

u guys are morons theres no way this version is better

[tetrooo]

this version is alot better

i dont like the other one

[shabbynone]

this version is 10 times better than the "Killing With A Smile" cd version

[The2000lbDC]

i agree 100%

[TheGuitaRNovice]

this version is better than the new!! ;D

[wingmanse7en]

fucking incredible tune, incredible band. saw em in montreal a couple months ago. This put on an INSANE FUCKING show.

like the vocals better in this version for sure...but some of the breakdowns and guitar tones are better in the music video one (which ever version that is)

[foolsgoldsoma]

I agree.

the tapping in the newer version is better for sure.

and this older version sounds more raw and intense to me.

[phantomninja910]

This is A LOT better than the other...

[systemofaslipknot1]

i like the 0:56 in Killing With A Smile better in this it just sounds like him calmly sayin "Broken"

[cagn217]

mm true.. i dont like that XD.. but still pretty good version :)

[jslim39]

i actually like that part in this version.... makes the second time he screams it sound more awesome, (it does sound more intense nonetheless). either way it's a great song and makes me wanna kill ppl

[Deathweave77]

I LOVE THIS VERSION

[foreverreckless]

@Deathweave77 yup this version is better in my opinion

[Wuzzleteets]

wowowowowowowowowowowo soooooooo fucking SICK man

[Bear261186]

Ive got 3 versions of this song killing with a smile, ep, and demo

[maniacrobbins]

the "fuck it all" at the end is sick. They should of kept that in when they re-recorderded.

[foolsgoldsoma]

abso-fucking-lutely!

[dakotakidd3]

@maniacrobbins

110% agreed

[lpkiksass]

@maniacrobbins He usually says it live.

[xXZachiiXx]

@maniacrobbins agreed

[GoreSpattered]

Awesome. Not as good as the new one but fucking sick. Sounds like what my band sounds like when we covered it *^^*

[OroFanboy]

In my opinion, this version is WAY better.

Sometimes, the rough cut shouldn't be tampered with

[2Kakor]

Awesome! 101/100
