Velvet Revolver...

That's probably the 'core influence in him.

You've got to change it up a bit when you cover a song, imo. You don't want it sounding too much the same (although he doesn't sound anything like Dio). Methinks he did it well.

I think he's got a great voice. I like how he mixes up grunts with singing.

Yeah they're pretty awesme for a 'core band. Generally I'm not much into metalcore/hardcore (though metalcore is slightly better), but KSE's melodic style is great.

Agree completely - but then KSE have that melodic duelling guitars thing going that is a little bit reminiscent of the 'melodic death' genre - In Flames, Soilwork etc (although not as good as those bands obviously).

Have you heard Machine Head's cover of Message In A Bottle? Pretty interesting

The reason Soundwave sold out is because there are some excellent bands playing in one location for the one price. The line up for Soundwave is by far the best line up for a festival I have seen for years. I am sick of seeing typical "mainstream" bands getting the nod for BDO and people such as myself who like their music a little heavier have really no reason to go to a BDO anymore, which is why a festival like soundwave has sold out quick smart because people want to see these harder acts. But there are also some more mellower acts, but at least there is a little bit of diversity in amongst the bands, I will admit I am suprised that Incubus and The Offspring are playing but hey, I will still check them out as they have had some decent songs in past years.Your attitude makes me believe you havent probably heard half the bands on the Soundwave bill, you can sit there and bag it out all you want, but it isn't catered for your mainstream punter.


I will say again, check out Killswitch, Still Remains, As I lay Dying, From Autumn to Ashes, Shadows Fall. All great bands.

lol soundwave the best festival line up in years? haha wow.... bad taste dude!
most bands at soundwave are pretty low bands to be honest...prob the worst line up i have seen for any festival this year
