Killswitch Engage " Holy Diver " video posted online

[jaysadler2]

it sounds good in the video, but when i saw them at download they played it and it sounded crap.

I kinda like it, the addition of harmonics etc makes it sound good but video itself is a poor attempt of humor

not a lot of point of releasing a video and promoting it, they should just stick toit be a live song, kinda like what artreyu done with bon jovis "you give love a bad name"

Hmmm. Even if I accepted your premise that those three singers are untouchable... I think there are a lot of reasons to do a cover other than trying to outsing the original singer.

I bet at least 75% of KSE's fanbase had never even heard that song before they covered it.

Fates Warning does an awesome cover of Sign of the Southern Cross.

that CD has some really hit and miss stuff. Hammerfall's man on the silver mountain was good, malmsteen doing babylon was nice, SOTSC was good as you said, jag panzer doing Children of the sea rocked, Blind guardian's version of don't talk to strangers was better than the original, which is a kick ass song to begin with, but other than those the rest of the songs were bad to the point of hurting the originals. and maybe I have bonus tracks, because the link you posted is missing holy mother's version of holy diver, a second band's rendition of kill the king, among others.

its hard to imagine that killswitch could possibly make their holy diver video cheesier than the original.

but they did

I own the 2 disc version as well. I agree it's hit or miss but I can't agree on the Blind Guardian cover. then again I can't stand Hansi Kursch's vocals.
