You dont know this, but you taught me to play guitar when I was a kid by watching these videos. I still play this song and come back to reference it every once in a while... like today. Take care man, hope you're well
2019 and I still come back to watching this dude's videos to learn from his techniques. If it wasn't for this guy's existence, I would have never picked up a guitar. Thanks for being my inspiration and indirectly helping me develop as a guitarist through all these years.
2023 and i still listen to these KSE covers from Killrbuckeye. Guitar sounds a bit clearer and clearer than the album to me, easily one of my most favorite guitar tones in metal/metalcore.
Im 47,& just found this guy recently,& as a musician & touring punk band guy from the 90s era,i gotta say this cover rips.Esp the sound rippin out of that LTD ESP.Killer. Hope lifes treating u well.Cheers Buckeye.
I picked up my electric up last week after about 6-7 months off it and my first thoughts when I picked up it up is "I'm jumping on to watch killrbuckeyes covers as they always get me in the mood xD I MISS THIS LAD
Hey buckeye, this cover is why I started playing guitar. I just wanted to say thank you, I never went anywhere with my music or my band, but god damn I wouldn’t be standing if this cover hadn’t inspired me to create my own way. I hope all is well, I hope you inspired more than you know.
I definately agree with you that this cover is good and since its old he prolly did it even without tabs. But i remember that there was a cover of this song that had more views than the actual song itself. It was a dude playing with a explorer style guitar.
I found you back around the time I joined the Army in 2007. Your music got me through a lot of rough years in hell, and this song plays as the background music to some pretty epic core memories from those years. Some people are just legend material...in 2007 this song was fire...2023 it's still the best cover of this song. You sir, are a legend.
I completely agree. I miss Buckeye so much. We just have to remember that he has a wife and kids, and is probably quite busy. I am sure that he will make a comeback at some point. Regardless of what develops, I shall never hit that unsubscribe button. \m/
watching him play the chorus and see him get into it is what makes me love killswitch. and especially since howard joined, they have this badass metal sound but they can grab you and show you how melodic metal can be and idk, theyre just badass man
Still my favorite guitar cover on RUclips. Thank you for shredding dude. I'm 30 now but you were crucial to motivating me to learn how to play metal. Because of you I can play tons of Killswitch, August Burns Red, Trivium and anything Will Swan is coming out with. You are basically the patron Saint of absolutely shredding
wait no longer, he has finally given a response in his facebook page facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10156291585364037&id=58150444036&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBl8JZm7NN63FCnRHWWjXLka0yzQPjJeVO4emWPdFnl0LuFqamecHMgLDfsdsdtcX5hU5zQSDvy7brNWSHCNw4gQKhxk2NEPvsU5EUkECp3e8Sl1CsId97CO0wgzv0q7WY8OHkf_ec6h1P-udUYqEjNK_BgpU_rcKmA3pp-naINxM5HbVgl_FQYuuFOQaOOj0OwZSWxKkODq8jN-HyiF8admMTuIW_CZ5hC5Sd-gaTte69uCfCGJ76EeZrgsrPX8N3dIZmvUh4ZdsSfwUAv9ur-kPgfMJ9V15sKRYLUwqwTuc-8mfAnUMDA8A3oYtYe7dXbRIabufgqRg&__tn__=-R
man that sucks I have 4 kids and a job and still find time to play its part of my soul could never stop plz get back to it man you will regret it one day if you don't :)
i too miss this guy.. it is quite upsetting seeing as he hasnt come back but for a good reason i get that. he was the inspiration to me also as many of you, to learning how to play guitar. I even bought when i was 16 and legally of age to work, a KH-602 because my man KillrBuckeye owned one and damn well killed these covers. I watched them from time and time again and still do years later. I wish he would see how many people miss him and at least log on and comment. i truly miss this lad. here i am 10 years later at the age of 26. Not inspired but still play... dude you influenced me hard
dude thank you soo much for putting up tabs there are tabs all over the internet but none of them ever sounded exactly right and yours are the best ive ever come across i realy apreciate that you took the time to tab it out now i can have fun and jam out to one of my old faves thx man!
+Lucien Padmos Lucien, I think you're thinking of Howard, the old vocalist for Killswitch Engage. He took a hiatus from touring because his Type 2 Diabetes was putting a toll on him. Howard is back touring with a new band nowadays.
Ive been watching this man on youtube since i was a young kid. and i still can't believe his flawless flow in everyone of his videos. no mistakes, everything is perfect. i feel as thought i become a better guitar player as i watch these. as tho i know I'm seeing the right way to do it.
Killrbuckeye one of the few people on youtube who can actually post the tabs of the songs he knows how to play. This should be a youtube award or something.
Definitely the best cover and tabs I've seen so far, and I've watched and tried many and some folks have one part that sounds a bit off. This one sounds perfect. Thanks a bunch!
Im glad to see hes returning, Hes the reason I can play this song... Hell most of Killswitch songs and as I lay dying... He was very much a driving force for my fuel to play more and learn as much as I could on guitar.. Miss the good ole days for sure lol
i saw this video when it only had maby 5,000 views and since then i have been playing guitar, joined a band, and even opened up a few shows for the human abstract.. thank you killrbuckeye for inspiring me! who knows where i would be without you. i will be looking forward for your new meterial and my future
Dude, you are so cool. My two year old LOVES to sit and watch you, and you're inspiring my six year old to want to play guitar (which is a fervent wish of mine). I don't know why it is that you left RUclips, but you are clearly missed. I know why now. It doesn't get much better than this - to be able to sit and watch how these songs are played in total perfection. Simply amazing. I'm subscribing anyway. So that when you do come back, I'll know. Godspeed.
Love all the work you do man. The rising is still so inspirational. Love the Pacifica you use. Never stop cranking out these clips man. Such a great style you have!
Wonderful playing dude. You see so many people who can do the fret hand stuff properly, but can't get the picking and palm muting right when it comes to songs like this. But you've nailed it all.
Dude I just visited your website, thank you so much for the tabs, specially this one which is also my fav KSE song! You have such a beautilful kids, congratulations! God bless you! And never stop playing :)
Holy shit, you're newest son is born the same day as I am! haha. dude these covers are the best i have ever heard. And the consistency over all your covers are superb.
Jesus christ. Flawless. Those pick slides followed shortly by pinch harmonics...some day I might be able to play like you...but until then I can watch how it should be done!!!
@cokejust7upedpepsi Agreed. Anyone who can play guitar or is learning guitar can see this cover is spot on. He also manages to get the tones for his covers completely matched making them sound that much better.
killswitch uses the same chord patterns for quite a few of their songs such as: Db-Eb-F-Ab or just Db-Eb-F , or on the 6 string in drop C = 1st, 3rd,5th,8th. or 1st, 3rd and 5th frets. Songs such as Arms of Sorrow, Break the Silence and Rose of Sharyn use these same chord patterns in their choruses or bridges.
Esse cara é demais, foi um dos primeiro que escutei aqui no YT, infelizmente não encontrei mais videos dele, bateu até uma nostalgia aqui! Parabéns cara, você é incrível!
I’ve actually hit the bell for an alert. Not sure really why if I think about it, but all I know if he comes back, it will be the biggest comeback in all of history
i like watching your vids because you make sure your playing the song 100% right before you put em up. i find it hard to find good versions of all the tabs i wanna get.
you and i have such similar picking style, palm sitting tight on that bridge, perfect for tight rhythm. kudos! great job on the song too bro it's one of my faves. good to hear you do it justice.
What i dont get is how can ppl NOT like this. If they are watching the vid its obviously because they like the original song. So he did an amazing cover of it. Without all the crappy sound problems that most covers have. And ppl dislike it? That just spells stupid all over it. Its 103 ppl that dont know how to play guitar and get pissed when they see someone better.
![Killswitch Engage - Rose Of Sharyn [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](/img/1.gif)
Man you were one of the 1st people I used to watch on here back in the day, I hope you and your family are doing well !
He's back with some originals as of 2021 :) Killrbuckeye was one of my first subs on youtube as well!
Still here in 2022!!
2024 and still here
Same, was playing the fortnite Metallica stuff, and thought of him. Glad you're still about!
You dont know this, but you taught me to play guitar when I was a kid by watching these videos.
I still play this song and come back to reference it every once in a while... like today.
Take care man, hope you're well
It's been YEARS since I've seen him. I'm glad people still comment and watch his vids! Hope him and his family are doing great!
How have you been the past six years?
14 years on...and still the only ROS cover you need!!
2019 and I still come back to watching this dude's videos to learn from his techniques. If it wasn't for this guy's existence, I would have never picked up a guitar. Thanks for being my inspiration and indirectly helping me develop as a guitarist through all these years.
2023 and i still listen to these KSE covers from Killrbuckeye.
Guitar sounds a bit clearer and clearer than the album to me, easily one of my most favorite guitar tones in metal/metalcore.
I remember watching this video for the first time when it came out.
It's been just a little over 13 years now. I still think it's the best cover ever.
Im 47,& just found this guy recently,& as a musician & touring punk band guy from the 90s era,i gotta say this cover rips.Esp the sound rippin out of that LTD ESP.Killer.
Hope lifes treating u well.Cheers Buckeye.
10 years later and his covers are still amongst the best. This guy is literally a legend.
Bro. You need to come back. You were such an inspiration when I started playing and still are
john-mark pendlebury he’s back
Still to this day one of the best sound quality all over RUclips when it comes to guitar covers. You are a legend man
I picked up my electric up last week after about 6-7 months off it and my first thoughts when I picked up it up is "I'm jumping on to watch killrbuckeyes covers as they always get me in the mood xD I MISS THIS LAD
+rusty899 Right?!
Hey buckeye, this cover is why I started playing guitar. I just wanted to say thank you, I never went anywhere with my music or my band, but god damn I wouldn’t be standing if this cover hadn’t inspired me to create my own way. I hope all is well, I hope you inspired more than you know.
hey dude, this is the best cover i've ever seen, congrats
+Big Zama Smoke I agree.. very good. accurate.

Some people are just legend material...in 2007 this song was fire...2023 it's still the best cover of this song. You sir, are a legend.
I hope this guy comes back to us. 5 years of no new KillrBuckeye :(. This guy is a guitar god.
dude do you know lucas mann?
ultimonsterbreakdown Lucas Mann can't even play his own shit.
im pretty sure that guy trying to steal his song killed it for him and doesnt wanna mess with it anymore
I completely agree. I miss Buckeye so much. We just have to remember that he has a wife and kids, and is probably quite busy. I am sure that he will make a comeback at some point. Regardless of what develops, I shall never hit that unsubscribe button. \m/
Man, I didn't write that.... _I'm_ mietsu padre
Dude, i still listen to your singles the arrival and the rising in my car every once in a while, such great compositions
watching him play the chorus and see him get into it is what makes me love killswitch. and especially since howard joined, they have this badass metal sound but they can grab you and show you how melodic metal can be and idk, theyre just badass man
August 2020 and this is still the best guitar cover I’ve ever seen my guy. Hell yeah!
Still my favorite guitar cover on RUclips. Thank you for shredding dude. I'm 30 now but you were crucial to motivating me to learn how to play metal. Because of you I can play tons of Killswitch, August Burns Red, Trivium and anything Will Swan is coming out with. You are basically the patron Saint of absolutely shredding

Holy shit I remember being a senior in High School and watching this exact video. Man I am one of many that misses this guys gnarly guitar talents.
i too miss this guy.. it is quite upsetting seeing as he hasnt come back but for a good reason i get that. he was the inspiration to me also as many of you, to learning how to play guitar. I even bought when i was 16 and legally of age to work, a KH-602 because my man KillrBuckeye owned one and damn well killed these covers. I watched them from time and time again and still do years later. I wish he would see how many people miss him and at least log on and comment. i truly miss this lad. here i am 10 years later at the age of 26. Not inspired but still play... dude you influenced me hard
I did not expect this level of quality from a 2007 YT video
2019.... I'm losing hope!
Aritra Chatterjee hes back!!!!!!!!
2017 still waiting
Artyom Kuzmin 2018 same lol
One of the sickest rhythm sounds I've ever heard. I watch this video at least a few times every month. Keep laying it down, bro.

Tom Phillips What happened to him?
Christian Muhametov i think he said he had a kid? Its been years, i dont remember
+Christian Muhametov I heard he got diabetes type 2 and had to quit because of his health... I'm not sure though.
+Lucien Padmos Lucien, I think you're thinking of Howard, the old vocalist for Killswitch Engage. He took a hiatus from touring because his Type 2 Diabetes was putting a toll on him. Howard is back touring with a new band nowadays.
Does this guy still alive? His videos is 7years ago :O
Read his channel description
i watched this a long time ago lol
2020.. Anyone?
2024 now
Ive been watching this man on youtube since i was a young kid. and i still can't believe his flawless flow in everyone of his videos. no mistakes, everything is perfect. i feel as thought i become a better guitar player as i watch these. as tho i know I'm seeing the right way to do it.

Killrbuckeye one of the few people on youtube who can actually post the tabs of the songs he knows how to play. This should be a youtube award or something.
This was 10/10 recording and tone for 2007. Glad you're still killing it
Definitely the best cover and tabs I've seen so far, and I've watched and tried many and some folks have one part that sounds a bit off. This one sounds perfect. Thanks a bunch!
By far the best cover I have seen in a good while. Wow. Shreddddding.

Wow, this guy is a legend. He even provides the tabs for free. Amazing cover, talent and tabs. What more can you ask.
This was the first cover I watched of yours all those years ago. It's great to have you back bro! Keep shredding!

i will be looking forward for your new meterial and my future
This cover got me into listening to and learning Killswitch songs many moons ago. Much respect brother 🙏
Love seeing how everyone is coming back to this video after so many years and sharing the nostalgia
Dude, you are so cool. My two year old LOVES to sit and watch you, and you're inspiring my six year old to want to play guitar (which is a fervent wish of mine).
I don't know why it is that you left RUclips, but you are clearly missed. I know why now. It doesn't get much better than this - to be able to sit and watch how these songs are played in total perfection. Simply amazing.
I'm subscribing anyway. So that when you do come back, I'll know. Godspeed.
Has to be the best cover I've heard for this song by far!
Love all the work you do man. The rising is still so inspirational. Love the Pacifica you use. Never stop cranking out these clips man. Such a great style you have!
9 years later and I'm still watching him like when I was young. Legends will never die.
love kse one of my favorite bands of all time and you did the song justice sir once again amazing guitar skills
Wonderful playing dude. You see so many people who can do the fret hand stuff properly, but can't get the picking and palm muting right when it comes to songs like this. But you've nailed it all.
The tone on this cover is just freakin' awesome!
Dude, for real, you have the best guitar covers on RUclips I've ever seen! \m/
love your covers man been watching them for some time, this just happens to be a favorite song of mine.
I think this is my 50th time watching this video! I just can't seem to get enough of it! If I only had half of your playability bro.....
Best cover on RUclips especially for it’s time recorded. Could only imagine your setup now.
You can hate all metalcore but i think every thrash metalhead would agree that the intro is heavy
Feels
Been way too long. I've been jam'n many years and Dude you rock out!...... Give us a show... It's part of our Souls!
Man, it's great you are back!
2019 STILL A FAN, GREAT WORK!!!
I clearly remember this at that time. And plus, lots of all that remains’ song.
Never said “congrats, dude”. You help me out a lot at that time
Dude I just visited your website, thank you so much for the tabs, specially this one which is also my fav KSE song!
You have such a beautilful kids, congratulations!
God bless you! And never stop playing :)
Still by far the best on youtube. Hope all is well KillrBuckeye
The best guitar cover artist on RUclips.
I can play this and mad props to this guy for being able to do it too. His tone is MUCH better than mine. Good job bro.
Holy shit, you're newest son is born the same day as I am! haha. dude these covers are the best i have ever heard. And the consistency over all your covers are superb.
Ten years later and I'm still coming back to this awesome cover. I wonder what happened to this guy...
The look on his face at 2:04 is the reason music exists. If you play, you know what I mean.
Great song and absolutely killer tone. It's so tight and crisp.
Jesus christ. Flawless. Those pick slides followed shortly by pinch harmonics...some day I might be able to play like you...but until then I can watch how it should be done!!!
This floors me everyone. You feel it and let it flow and God bless you for it
@cokejust7upedpepsi Agreed. Anyone who can play guitar or is learning guitar can see this cover is spot on. He also manages to get the tones for his covers completely matched making them sound that much better.
Absolutely ROCKIN!!!!! For those that think he isn't playing, that you are just hearing the recording, that is because he is DEAD-BALLS PERFECT!!!!!!!
killswitch uses the same chord patterns for quite a few of their songs such as: Db-Eb-F-Ab or just Db-Eb-F , or on the 6 string in drop C = 1st, 3rd,5th,8th. or 1st, 3rd and 5th frets. Songs such as Arms of Sorrow, Break the Silence and Rose of Sharyn use these same chord patterns in their choruses or bridges.
you never fail to disappoint....great job man!
Esse cara é demais, foi um dos primeiro que escutei aqui no YT, infelizmente não encontrei mais videos dele, bateu até uma nostalgia aqui! Parabéns cara, você é incrível!
@KillrBuckeye this is also my favorite KSE song and you did a great cover...
Such an amazing song, and well played sir!
More KSE covers! You're a great guitarist! Such a great cover! Keep up the good work
Couldn't agree more with you KillrBuckeye. I play this song more than any other. Great job!
I’ve actually hit the bell for an alert. Not sure really why if I think about it, but all I know if he comes back, it will be the biggest comeback in all of history
I hope one day killrbuckeye comes back to youtube cuz man he was a great player.
ive always found this rift so freaking hard. you make it look like cake
14 years later and still watching
Nailed it on the cover .
Round of applause my dude
love the riffs fot this song,beautiful
love your covers man been watching them for some time
DUDE YOU SHRED! Godly man I give you props! I subbed and will be watching every video
i like watching your vids because you make sure your playing the song 100% right before you put em up. i find it hard to find good versions of all the tabs i wanna get.
Dude, I've been watching your videos for a half hour now, and I've got to say you're a fucking beast. Keep up the great work.
you and i have such similar picking style, palm sitting tight on that bridge, perfect for tight rhythm. kudos! great job on the song too bro it's one of my faves. good to hear you do it justice.
Gotta love the KH-2! I'm looking forward to your new stuff coming up.
What i dont get is how can ppl NOT like this. If they are watching the vid its obviously because they like the original song. So he did an amazing cover of it. Without all the crappy sound problems that most covers have. And ppl dislike it? That just spells stupid all over it. Its 103 ppl that dont know how to play guitar and get pissed when they see someone better.
