Dio's "Holy Diver" by KSE

Here's a funny version of Holy Diver done by Killswitch Engage, in case some of you haven't seen it:

Started off good until he started screaming in the middle of the song, then I am reminded of why I hate metalcore so much.

Don't really like the beggening was great but...Like Ult said.

Ok, that video was absolutely stupid, but their cover is decent enough.

I'm with you on that Scott. I thought the execution of the music was pretty decent.

I liked it.

Their drummer was amazing back when he played in RED TIDE.

By the way Scott most thrash/speed/etc. metal songs have more screaming then that song did.

Not really. The screaming of Thrash and Speed sound good. This one is juste...

I wouldn't consider Dio Thrash I don't think, especially not Holy Diver. In context, it sounds lame.

Holy Diver is all but Thrash...

Nahh, thrash bands don't have that lame metalcore screaming like the singer was doing in the middle of this cover. His singing voice wasn't bad, but those screaming vocals just sucked royallty!

His singing voice was incredible! Why does he waste that talent with that screaming bull?

I don't know...A lot of people like things who sound like smurf poo.

Have it downloaded on my limewire account. In fact, it was the first "song" I had ever heard from Killswitch and now I own all 4 of thier discs.

I thought the singing voice was ok but those screams SUCK. Their video was pretty lame. I'll stick with the original.

The original video is just as lame. I think that was the point.

And didn't we discuss this song before? Anyway, I love this cover. I never thought they'd pull it off, but when I got that Kerrang! CD (where it first appeared) I was mightily impressed! Definitely a great cover in my book.

Ehhh... that was just silly.

That makes no sense. Screaming is screaming, bro. What the hell is metalcore screaming?
