  • For Revolver's new First/Worst series, we ask artists a myriad of questions about their first, and worst, experiences with a range of subjects. In this episode, we grill Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach on a series of topics from music, movies and double-dates with his "Don Juan" brother to broken laws, stage injuries and hanging with Adam Dutkiewicz. Along the way, Leach also shares stories about smuggling metal tapes into a Christian household, why the smell of Southern Comfort makes him want to puke, his second grade drawings of "dudes with mohawks," 15-year-old tattoos that are "very much 1993" and what's actually in that McDonald's food. Watch the completely hilarious clip above.

    I've been a pretty big fan of Killswitch for a long while and I absolutely love the Howard era for sure, but Howard wasn't the singer that got me into KSE originally. To this day, I still like KSE's first album over all of the Howard stuff, and again, I love the Howard stuff but the stuff that KSE'S 2nd run with Jesse is far better then Howards stuff too. I just think Jesse is the better singer. His vocal harmonies and his screams are outstanding. I love how he writes vocally and lyrically. I'm mentioning this cause it bums me out a bit that he seems to be so down on himself. He doesn't seem to think much of his talents and himself. Hopefully he'll find that confidence in his life. He's a cool dude for sure.

    I noticed the “short eye contact” with the interviewees. Also the Christian upbringing characteristics... and the “young and dumb” moments. I have a pull from the universe. Dare you see into it???

    Southern Comfort is one of the worst alchohols. I'm Southern, and I find nothing comforting about it 😂
    Gotta say in general I have a lot in common with Jesse overall, except thankfully my parents are pretty cool with me listening to metal, and I've explained to them that I don't believe everything in metal that I listen to. You don't have to take everything to heart haha. Good stuff in general 👏

      nicholas litrento Yeah, but for a southern boy raised by a strict Christian family, they are considerably harder to get to listen to. I definitely relate with Jessie on that one area, since I went through the same childhood. I also agree with him about marijuana, the plant itself. It should definitely be legal for recreational use. But, with limits. Just like alcohol. And it can be taxed, but the tobacco industry has corporate asses paying policy into keeping marijuana out of the tax system to keep their greedy asses in business. Because they know that they will lose business if it was just as legal as tobacco or alcohol.
