      he's not bored...its just that when you're playing to your own song and on camera its kind of difficult to decide how you want to "appear" while you're playing. Do you want to look enthusiastic and dance around to your own song or do you want to look a little serious and not as expressive while you're playing. And also they're trying to play it perfectly for this playthrough so that's probably his "focus face."

    Not having listened this for years and now coming back, I realize how good this song really is. The 2 guitars and all the dynamics work so well together. Honestly this Metalcore Genre has some severe artistic limitations, this is why a band like Killswitch could never become as bis as lets say Metallica. But KSE get out everything they can out of what Metalcore brings to the table
