July 14, 2009 rockstar mayhem festival tour interview with Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage. Interview by Litsa Olsson, produced by Chuck Tuck for MVP Company and Rock Photo Guy
He's such an awesome guy, I miss him fronting KSE. Also, so crazy seeing Litsa on here interviewing him! I've been to a ton of parties over at her house, she's awesome.
Howard was really easy to talk to, even though it wasn't me doing the interview. Before and after doing this he was very gracious about giving us enough time to talk. I hope we get the chance to interview him again and take more time.
I LOVE YOU HOWARD! You are awesome man. You will be greatly missed. Thank God I was fortunate enough to see you with KSE Live at Mayhem 09 before you left. Best of luck.
Black, white, yellow, or red, Howard can belt it out to every color under the rainbow and then some. Not to mention that he's a humble guy too. I'm looking forward to meeting him again for an update.
howard is so amazing live and also just a all round nice guy always up for a chat, i've had a chat or 2 with him and he is aces. i'll sure miss him in KsE, there is always blood has been shed for a howard vocal fix, although he might not be in that much longer too :(
Jesses work with the last two Killswitch albums are superb. I think it would be an extra treat to maybe see some guest vocals by Howard. Or do what Haste The Day has done and bring former members to collide on one album "Coward".
I totally agree, he is an amazing singer and I thought he really identify with kse however, the team of Jesse's grace should be good, plus I want everything good for him in the band pattern of it: D
I know what he MEANS! Before every show I'm sooo nervous, every show I'm nervous and anxious as hell. But once I get up there and start, it all slips away
We just figured why not ask something that many people don't ask. Besides, there's a lot of badass black rockers that for one reason or another get overlooked in metal. But the ones we do see are great!
There's no doubt that he's been working out!! Gotta tell ya too, he was a real nice guy but I have a feeling it would be the wrong thing to do to piss him off! LOL
Howard seems like quite an introvert, he looks quite nervous with other people (in other interviews too). Funny his job is performong infront of LOADS of people. Killswitch are great.
wow he looks like a beast here but actually when I went to see them live, he was like a head smaller then me and not muscular at all :D but he's the nicest guy ever en KSE is the best band in the world!
Damn just like all the comments below, and soon enough above....HOWARD IS HUGE!!! Dayum!!! He's such a badass!!! Commando!!! That the way to roll!! lol
Come back Howard we all miss you
right
Your wish was granted. For a song :D
I feel for him. I go through major anxiety and depression and I give him props to make it through what he did and he's back again
I used to go through anxiety and depression in high school
I miss you in Killswitch bro,,, it just isnt the same without you :/
He's such an awesome guy, I miss him fronting KSE. Also, so crazy seeing Litsa on here interviewing him! I've been to a ton of parties over at her house, she's awesome.

"cuz there's many of them who would like to trade places with you"
Jesse in 2009: is she talking about me?
