I use to watch Buckeye when I was younger, and loved his videos. I wonder how much better he is now. Just put my version cover up a couple days ago for a request from a good mate. I got 100 views 😂 I don't think anyone will ever get close to Buckeyes 1.6 million views (time of writing this). Too much new music now, I'm still a metalcore fan, but lots of my metalcore mates have moved on to modern metal
This man has the best guitar covers on RUclips. The sheer amount of views he has is testament to that, because even the original song uploaded by Trivium doesn't have this many views XD
15 years, 1.6million views, not a single dislike. I learned how to play the main riff to this song from this video 15 years ago as a teenager - 15 years later I still remember how to play it this way! Time to finish it and learn it proper I think!
when I saw this back in 2008 his tone was amazing to me, but now 10 years later and after using a lot of diferent ampsimps including BIAS, I came here and listen to this cover again, and I realize that this tone is truly trash. POD 2.0 now is trash, back then it was the great.
This as well as well, every other video you have posted is top notch. If Simon Peg ever needs an awesome guitar playing double for one of his movies, you should be the first name on the list ha
Amazing... I was listening to the Trivium top tracks when your video appeared and I heard the guitar was louder than the rest of the music didn't think it would be a cover! Awesome job
Yes. When I first started playin at 14 this was one of the first songs I learned. Im 22 now still jammin!! AWESOME SHIT MAN, Ive watched a few of your vids. TIGHT WORK KEEP IT UP.!
This Guy CUTS SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As a musician i can totally understand the time and effort that went in to getting this good. Keep up the good work. Very entertaining, i love your music taste. Please keep up the good work, Congrads on the new addition to your family. Take it easy! METAL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of those covers that is played so perfectly, in spite of the tone being WAY out of whack, is still better than almost any other cover on here. Long live the OG.
Bringing back my childhood 13 years after I first started watching your videos in my bedroom at my parents house with the sound cranked to the max. Ah good times
You got me through some hard times back in the day bro. Come back full-time! I remember asking you about your Kirk Hammet guitar when you first got it! I thought it was a total monster I've been watching you since the beginning! You're my RUclips idol!
Heard this right after I heard Trivium for the first time. First metal songs. I need...We need you to make more. A comment from 4 years ago says it perfectly. COME BACK !!!
Great playings. The distortion sounds about right. Now, I don't want to criticise the tone as he knows it's pretty thin... but I have to say I'd love to hear Mr Buckeye re-do this video with some thumping valvey goodness! Such skillz deserve a better sound!
replay replay replay replay replay! This is excellent! when you say your distortion sounds fuzzy and stuff, i think it gives the song abit more epicness to it, the fizzyness sounds good! :) keep up the good work man!
man bring me my high school time back :( awesome cover, is one of the best so far for me, no disrespect for other talented people. .. This is just amazing thx for the cover man I love it.
I've been playing guitar for about three months now. Right now I can only play basic stuff, but I hope someday to be as good as you. Just wanna let you know you're my inspiration, and thanks for getting me started on guitar.
Sick dude...I love watching your covers! And i discovered a really great band and my favorite song just by watching a cover i never heard of. Absolutely amazing playing
Great job dude! I got into Trivium right from the start when I seen them open for Danzig @ Harpos in Detroit! & have been intrigued ever since! They were only in there late teens when I seen them for the first time & I knew these guys were something special.
I forgot all about this vid bro. I used to watch this all the time lol. Great work dude. I still make covers when i can. Life gets in the way sometimes. Cheers.
@PunkRockCovers this is song is in Drop D, like half of Trivum song, that means u got your regular tuning E A D g b e and u tone down your E string to match D, that means one full step down.
This is the video i studied non stop and my first real song i learned to play was like light to flys . Mr buckeye your a huge inspiration in the cover inspiring guitarest world . Thajk you for being you and beingnthere brother
ur the king man! i have been practicing this for quite a while now and still am having a li trouble lol oh well i guess keep it up man! been watching your stuff for years!
lol i kinda like the tone in this video regardless of what anyone else says because it breaks that similarity between the guitar in the song and ur guitar because as alot of others have been saying ur guitar playing is so good that they cannot tell if ur playing or not and having the same or a similar tone as the actual band is awesome but in this case you do want to have that little bit of uniqueness (right word?) to your sound and to your videos so yeh great cover and best of youtube IMHO =)
You were an inspiration to me since I first started listening to metal in 7th grade, somehow I found one of your covers /Rose Of Sharyn/, and wanted to play the guitar ever since... Now I'm 12th grade... My parents finally bought me a guitar, and I fully realized how good you were. :D If I ever... somehow meet you, you get 3 beers and a hug :D
I like how a lot of people are saying he's bad, especially when he has way more experience than them probably (read his information on his website), just because his tone is really frizzy here. Most people don't know what they are talking about. He played it almost perfect. Way better than I could. People need to realize there is always room for improvement whether its your tone, skills, equipment, etc.
This was the first song I learnt and it was hard even with this video as reference...not been on this channel in over 10 years but this helped me so much ... Getting back into guitar after a 8 year break...tendon severed in left index finger but miss playing ..
Dude, after watching your vids I see that you are the guitar player that I always wanted to become but life got in the way. I'll put up my cover of this song soon minus the solos because of said life.

14 years old and its still the first video that comes up when you search "Like Light to Flies guitar cover"
Even today

@@AdamKemp03 im crying when breakdown of sanity release thiers new song after good-note ending. Of course it was some kind of lot of jent stuff
he downstroke like hell ^^
I remember watching this almost 17 years ago when it was originally dropped. Love it as much now as I did then. 💛
he's back. and so is my childhood.
♥️
No matter how many times i watch this cover it never ceases to amaze me.
+Supersanta 7 man I wish I could play this song like that guy this cover blew me away
COME BACK !!!
Ailesi varmış da o yüzden gelmiyormus ne alakaysa ?
+BaripKing HD WHA!?!?!???
+BaripKing HD nerden biliyon öyle dedigini
Aile içinde bi problemi varmış galiba
Hmm
That downstroke speed... impressive
Trivium takes some skill hands down
I like to play Ascendancy. My hands dont though haha

Damn! killed it without alternate picking XD. Well done.
IKR. This is relatively easy to play but so exhausting without alternate picking. But the sound of constant downstrokes is just too good.
miss you bro
+Michael Carter ? where did he go?
He just stopped making videos a long time ago. Wish he continued and made money off of his channel.
yeah hes damn good lol taught me loads
He's back
Man this brings back so many good memories. I remember when he uploaded this video, I was just starting to play guitar :D
His guitar tone was pretty legit for 2007. Nice chops
not even. it sounds like a bunch of bees wrapped in aluminum foil.
Love the cover but his tone is garbage
when I saw this back in 2008 his tone was amazing to me, but now 10 years later and after using a lot of diferent ampsimps including BIAS, I came here and listen to this cover again, and I realize that this tone is truly trash. POD 2.0 now is trash, back then it was the great.
@@aark69 because he didnt its in the description.
@@sixsix8six you werent around back then i guess. i was 17 when he posted this video. killrbuckeye is youtube OG
We miss you Killr!!! Come back!!!! You were my inspiration at 17 years
He's back
17 years later and still holds up. Dude was ahead of his time. I remember being 15-16 and finding you. Big inspiration my guy.
If anyone's wondering, Buckeye has a website; although he hasn't made a post since '11.
Come back God dammitb
Dammit.*
he's back

Leader of the gingers 👅

Still best cover in 2016...
And in 2017.
2018 too
Still will be in 2019
@@ezzyMunero90 still is
17 years? wtf? I´m old
Killrbuckeye where'd you go man?!?!?! Its been 10 years without any new covers, we need more of your badass covers
Dude,I've been watching this for years now and it never gets old!
solo perfect, notes perfect, palm mutes perfect, timing perfect, no mess ups.
overall= A+ 100%
nice work
from colombia, respects
love your videos.
bro come back pls
Still here in 2023. Wish you the best for you and your loved ones 🤙🏼
No joke, one of the best covers on youtube ive seen so far.
is that all downstrokes? wow you are fast!!!
No, It's not all downstrokes. The palm mutes are downstrokes, and the melody is upstrokes. Try it.
Cherisse Halsall It is all down strokes trust me. Trivium are amazing down picking machines at their live shows.
Algastar
How is that relevant to how Killrbuckeye is playing it?
...because that's how he's playing, and that's what they're talking about...
Algastar
Lol, no.
To this day, still the most accurate cover on yt.
I dont think the solo was that accurate, he added his own things there and didn't try to play 100% like original record (which is a good thing)
God I love this guy.
This Guy CUTS SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a musician i can totally understand the time and effort that went in to getting this good. Keep up the good work. Very entertaining, i love your music taste.
Please keep up the good work, Congrads on the new addition to your family.
Take it easy!
METAL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found this video a few years back and still watch it over the actual video -.- I love this cover!
holy shit this guy shreds
Oh my god! This was what direct in sounded like in 07! haha, we've grown so much.
😞♥️
so brutal !
This is one of those covers that is played so perfectly, in spite of the tone being WAY out of whack, is still better than almost any other cover on here. Long live the OG.

I’ve listened to you since you’ve started your channel. My teen years all over again.

Wow!!! This is perhaps one of the most amazing covers I have heard of one of the most amazing songs of one of the most amazing bands.
14 years… 14 fucking years! Holy shit! I remember watching this about 45 minutes after you posted it!
man bring me my high school time back :( awesome cover, is one of the best so far for me, no disrespect for other talented people. .. This is just amazing thx for the cover man I love it.

Sick dude...I love watching your covers! And i discovered a really great band and my favorite song just by watching a cover i never heard of. Absolutely amazing playing
Great job dude! I got into Trivium right from the start when I seen them open for Danzig @ Harpos in Detroit! & have been intrigued ever since! They were only in there late teens when I seen them for the first time & I knew these guys were something special.
How can someone possibly hate on this video? It's perfect, completely flawless.
I love how you have 3 times the actual originals songs views. :)
Excellent job. :)
I forgot all about this vid bro. I used to watch this all the time lol. Great work dude. I still make covers when i can. Life gets in the way sometimes. Cheers.

I love the tone, sounds really clean, bloody good job!
Dude, your guitar sounds sooo nice in the riffs!
I spent sooo long trying to figure out the solos this video was really helpful thanks
awesome sounding guitar!
omg.... that solo was killer... spot on, no mess ups etc.. i was gobsmacked!! just brillaint
Nice job on the solo, my friend.🤘
I like how effortless the down picking is....very calm....nice work
love this song/ and your rendition!

Most people don't know what they are talking about. He played it almost perfect. Way better than I could. People need to realize there is always room for improvement whether its your tone, skills, equipment, etc.
i enjoy your commitment to not using alternate picking, and somehow manage to play what is intended for alternate picking still with relative ease.
Joostin Kookel It wasn't intended for alternate; Matt is all down stroke :)))
probably easier to make it sound clean without the added strokes of alternate anyway L:D.
This was the first song I learnt and it was hard even with this video as reference...not been on this channel in over 10 years but this helped me so much ...

great cover.. all covers of yours are great, dont stop playing.
