Concerning Killswitch Engage's Dio cover.[views:15452][posts:105]_____________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:00pm - pam ""] I honest sincerely really hope every member of this band is killed. That was the most horrible thing I have ever seen and they should all be ashamed of themselves. :middlefinger: Right here Killswitch. |
| ________________________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:06pm - hooker nibbling penis ""] i don't know what they did and i dont' want to |
| _____________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:18pm - pam ""] It's bad. Real bad. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:21pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'll probably get slaughtered for asking this but... what did you think was so bad about it? was it the hokey video or the song arrangement itself? or are you pissed that they even covered it in the first place due to your distaste for the band? |
| _____________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:30pm - pam ""] All three, actually. They CHUGGED the whole song which I liken to slapping Dio himself in the ballsack. The video was retarded and struck me as them trying to be ironic the same way swoopy haired emo kids throw the horns and wear studded belts and pretend to like whatever band is on the tightest 80's metal T-shirt they can find, all while listening to The Yellow Card or Color purple is like you or whatever. AND the band sucks in general. I can't wait for all the metal core kids to start snatching up Dio shirts and insisting they've "always loved Dio, man". Or better yet, when people who ACTUALLY like Dio get stopped by scene girls who point and cry, "Yeeeah Dio, do you like that Killswitch cover!?!" And I'm giving them credit to know it's a cover. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:33pm - BlackoutRick ""] Yeah, who cares? If Ronnie approves then it's all good. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:35pm - pam ""] You have terrible taste in music. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:39pm - BlackoutRick ""] I do? I like Dio. I probably have the widest range of taste on this board. Fact. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:41pm - pam ""] Wide range doesn't always mean good. This cover is a musical abortion and I would say that if it were Carcass playing it. You don't chug out fucking Dio, it's gay gay gay. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:45pm - BlackoutRick ""] I agree. I personally don't like it. It's all about the almighty dollar. It's for the kids. Maybe they'll actually buy a Dio CD. That is not a bad thing. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:46pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] firstly, i hate videos in general - they never make sense and never add anything positive to a song. but i understand your point about influence and respect towards an original artist when covering them. although it seemed to me that they just played the song stylisticly more similar to their music - so if you hate their style of music and the band itself, obviously you'll think its a shitty cover. however, i did just listen to both songs in a row and i must say that despite chugging and turning one part into a breakdown they were pretty accurate... right down to the arrangement and the tuning. howard has just about the same range has dio too ...only not nearly as awesome. also i guess Adam D's solo wasnt as epic but he did use a couple of the original licks i noticed. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:46pm - TURD ""] Dio is an old washed up dragon singing homo. Fuck that old fuck. Stuck in the 80's |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 5:47pm - metal_church101 ""] I actually liked the cover tune. I didn't really care for the video at all, but then again like other people, I won't pay attention to any music video. |

| ______________________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 6:01pm - theaccursedvokillist ""] Man i have loved Dio since Black Sabbath. you don't have to have permission per say to record a cover song. We covered Metallica and I haven't had that little treasure troll, Lars on my doorstep yet. Its not a good cover. Polaris fucking ruled that song. If KSW didnt chug it or metalcore it out, it wouldn't have been that bad. KSE can eat a dick for chugging where it is not needed. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 6:10pm - Dwellingsickness ""] I have yet to hear this, Not that I will actively seek it out though |
| __________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 6:11pm - powerkok ""] How is Kse even still around? On a related note, Bleeding through, were so close to forgotten, then they put out a new cd? FUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKK. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 6:20pm - narkybark_ ""] I don't even know what song this thread is about, but since reading it I'll now have "rainbow in the dark" stuck in my head for the rest of the night. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 6:23pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] just a rAAAAAAINBOOW In the DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHRK!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 7:05pm - the_reverend ""] anything to get kids listening to more dio. that's what I say. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 13,2007 7:10pm - pam ""] It's Holy Diver. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 7:20pm - DrewBlood ""] Look out! |
| ________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 9:03pm - tylerl ""] the metalcore-ing of it was kinda cheesy, but i was surprised/impressed with howard's falsetto vocals at the end plus i thought the video was real funny |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 10:50pm - sacreligion ""] i still say let em do what they want. they had a fun time covering a classic song in their own vein. i think it's a good song overall, but if you're expecting a recreation of the original you're going to be disappointed, especially if you hate radio-friendly metalcore. polaris' cover IS way better though. simply because it's the original arrangement and olivia's voice is retardedly powerful |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 13,2007 11:00pm - sacreligion ""] just watched the video for the first time that ongoing king-eating-mutton joke is pretty funny |
| _____________________________ [Aug 14,2007 2:22am - pam ""] You all make me sad in the brain. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 14,2007 7:47am - SteveOTB ""] I'll be the first to say it. 1. I enjoy the cover and think they did a pretty good job keeping it the same feel but yet adding their own flair to the song. 2. The video is awesome, there I've said it. How can you people take the actual "Holy Diver" video by Dio seriously? The KSE version was just as ridiculous yet they get bashed for it. Both videos were cheesy as hell I mean c'mon guys. Have a little sense of humor and stop taking everything so seriously. It's a music video not an oscar winning movie. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 14,2007 8:57am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Dio will destroy all these false metal warriors with his CREEPY ELF POWERS. Fall before him and weep. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 14,2007 9:17am - rilly ""] the killswitch solo in the cover is way better than the dio as well as the addition of the harmonizing. Way to go KsE |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 14,2007 9:23am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Shit, are you back? Didn't your mom buy you some taste in music, yet? |
| ________________________________ [Aug 14,2007 9:26am - rilly ""] I love how everyone on this board pretty much hates kse. You're all a bunch of losers. The day howard stops screaming all together in place of screaming I'll buy into this pop band bs. They really don't get any air play. Everyone in that band with the exception of maybe the bass player are great musicians and songwriters |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 14,2007 9:28am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Wow, that would be amazing if he stopped screaming altogether in place of screaming. Or if you stopped having tortured sentence structure in place of having tortured sentence structure. And KSE : metal :: Justin Timberlake : gansta rap. |

KSE can eat a dick for chugging where it is not needed. you do have to have permission to sell it though. i'm sure dio is happy with his increased income of the royalties of this song. |

The people who post here have, generally speaking, been listening to metal for a few years. If you're looking for someone to validate your KSE fan status, I'm sure the Bay State Rock board, or wherever Slipknot fans post nowadays can help you out. But you're listening to starter kit metal. In a few years, if you haven't moved on to salsa, or electropop, or whatever the next big thing is, come look us up - if you're still listening to metal, you'll be bored with cookie-cutter Gothenchusetts stuff and ready to graduate to something that'll challenge your ears a bit. Lurk for a while, see what's out there, and then we'll talk. |
