NO DOUBT! No egos. It's all love out there with those guys. Any other band that has replaced vocalists, they are quick to talk shit about the previous guy i.e. Van Halen, Black Sabbath etc. But Howard and Jesse have developed a legitimate friendship and that is one of the best things that can happen in music. my hat is off to KSE!
Aside from being the security they should rock it out some time. BTW He's really diggin "The End Of A Heartache". Pro'lly a Killswitch Engaged fan too~ 😊
@@jrtakesthesky27 when i saw Papa Roach at the 15 Years in the Making Tour the security guard was full on headbang, air guitar and all. It was the best thing I've seen guard wise He had so much fun
Howards new band should tour with killswitch and they should always bring out Howard for the last song or something like that. Edit: Dreams become reality, friends. And then COVID 19 crushes those dreams....had tickets for 1-29-20. Edit edit: 03-01-2022 It finally happened.
I think, (but I dont know), it was pretty much mutual. Howard has struggled with type 2 diabetes for a long time but the Adam D and the fam all like to drink and tour like crazy. Those lifestyles aren't necessarily exclusive but I can imagine wanting to distance yourself from it.
Idea: Killswitch rehire Howard, and the band operates with both vocalists getting equal representation. It would be tough to pull off on albums efficiently, but the tours would be incredible. Howard does leads and Jesse does backup on the Howard era stuff, and vice versa with Jesse’s era. Even just one tour like that would be a huuuuge draw.
Howard left the band due to his own disinterest in the band! I prefer Howard over Jesse big time but lets be real here, he wouldnt want to join the band anyway.
No Jesse pushing himself too hard then leaving, Howard taking over and transforming the band, Jesse getting healthy in time for Howard to need a break, and then Jesse coming back is the best thing to ever happen for Killswitch Engage.
playing devils advocate and i hope im wrong...are KSE a pretty ruthless band, dumping their singers as soon as a problem arises? Their hereos Def Lepard waited for their drummer to recover from an amputated fuckin arm.
Would be a dream come true if Jesse and Howard created a KSE album together sharing the vocals. Both amazing vocalists and they compliment each other very well.
They're writing one together right now for the next album, and Jesse has also made a guest appearance on End of Heartache, specifically the track "Take This Oath."
I wish they could both just be in the band! I fucking love Howard and Jesse and just hearing them both in a song is spectacular. Can’t wait for the new album to come out and hear Howard on it😁🤘🏽
The band is sick all have talent, but Howard brought another higher element to the table. Pains me when I hear people try to mimic his vocals. Their lead vocalist is good, but there is only one Howard Jones. Glad Howard is doing well and still making music. Kudos to Killswitch for keeping it 100 by bringing Howard on stage. Anyone else have this on loop?
I was there and in that part I started to cry , 2:39 , , the album The end of heartache was what brought me to Killswitch Engage and see howard back to sing my favorite song and jesse helping on the backing vocals, is priceless
I've always been a fan of Killswitch Engage with Jesse Leach more, but this song is truly Howard Jones all the way, it was made for his voice and seeing them both perform it together shows they wont bullshit when credit is due. Major respect to them all for doing this.
One of the best comments I've read in this thread. I tend to lean towards Jesse too (although I do love and respect both), but yes, this is truely a Howard tune. It was Indeed awesome of the band to let him up there to tear this shit up.
Towards the middle/end, Adam runs off stage right before he jumps in to his solo and goes to the venue's bar to get a shot. He does his solo at the bar. It's sick as hell. There's videos of it. When he's gone off stage, he's playing wireless while simultaneously taking a shot!
Damn if Jones wasn’t doing Light the Torch then I highly recommend he returns to Killswitch and they continue as a 6 piece... he seems healthy enough to be back
I’d rather have them be Brother Bands. Makes the situation better. And the surprise of having Howard come live a couple times a year would drive sales up for both bands.
I remember in 2000, I was playing in a band in Massachusetts with this dude, and he says “you gotta hear this band Killswitch Engage”. He gave me a burner of AOJB and I was hooked. I bought “The End of Heartache” the first day it came out, and I was skeptical of their new vocalist. It turns out, that album literally brought me to tears many times, that’s how good it is. I was bummed when Howie left the band, but was happy that they got their OG guy Jessie back, as he’s the guy that got me into the band in the first place. Anyhow, I’m lucky enough to live near most of these men and have shared moments with them, and they are truly one of the greatest metal bands of the last 20 years and sincerely good dudes. And if you haven’t heard Times of Grace, check the album out. It was made during the limbo period after Howard left, and features Jessie and Adam D on vocals and Adam on all the instruments, pretty much just like AOJB.
that's cool, my brother was in a band in the Boston Merrimack Valley area around the time opening many times for only living witness and Sam Black Church but they broke up and I lost touch with the scene and these guys came after. Glad I found out about them though.
You know that feeling you have when you watch this? It's the same feeling when you see mom and dad get back together. It's a feeling of wholesome unity. At the end of the day, it's what gives you closure.
Killswitch Engage and Bullet For My Valentine is two best unforgetable metalcore bands, their music its a real metalcore, real singing, real extreme vocals, real lyrics real music. And not only hadbanging riffs, and lirics about stupid girlfriend.
Everytime I search (Howard Jones Metal) and I see the picture preview of this video, I click it to play, only then to gracefully see at the beginning of the video Mr. End Of Heartache himself, Howard Jones start walking out onto the stage as the guitar starts to play. The feelings and emotions that start playing through my heart and mind when he starts singing. Man!
Howard Jones, reuniting with Killswitch Engage and singing with Jesse Leach, fucking great! Killswitch Engage, my favorite metalcore band. KSE fucking rocks!
Yes Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I'm never ashamed to say that. Howard Jones, godbless him for his songs. The End Of Heartache album is the #1 KSE album for me that he did that to makes him LEGEND! The Daylight Dies and second self titled album he did before he left were also very awesome. But The End Of Heartache albums hits closest to home because those were the golden days of my youth growing up with metal back in the early 2000's when metal and rock ruled the radio.
The weirdest part is that Howard Jones was the original singer for Killswitch Engage before he formed light the torch, so if you were to listen to this song that's his voice
Jesse Leach was the original lead but Howard played a major role in what made them famous. If not for Howard Killswitch may have never been what it is. Same goes for Jesse. They both gave us something amazing.
@@C.Brooks329 also if your wondering where Howard was before then he was in blood has been shed which is where Justin Foley came from also to replace Tom Gomes. Honestly I prefer Tom on drums. Just more technical then Justin in my mind from there second album. But just my opinion.
I am born, raised and live in the Caribbean , I grew up loving soca and reggae music. Somehow I stumbled on this band maybe a decade ago, and they are my favourite band in this era of music hands down.
1:33 is just flat out so damn heavy. Everytime I hear that section when the double bass kicks in with open hi hats and the matching guitar I get goosebumps. It's literally too good.
the way how these two dudes act with each other sound and vibe together? I don't care who leads, they both sound Sick to me and present a significant time for KillSwitch. Also nobody ever mentions how the bass player is always doing some cool stuff on stage haha
LSgaming420 because Howard left because of his own disinterest so he probably wouldn’t want to rejoin,also Howard has his own band that he’s doing songs with called light the torch
My favorite part is the security gaurd enjoying the music as well
a7xduder Look at the dudes beard, he has no choice in life but to love the metal!!!
brookhaven86 so fucking true
...and he's probably Kirk Windstein from Crowbar ;)
I'm a security guard and I love Howard! :D
a7xduder haha yeah I saw that too!
You kids have no idea how lucky you are
Edit: 868 thank you my kse family
BryxGuyx27 How lucky they are to have seen both Jesse and Howard perform with KSE.
so fucking lucky!!! what an amazing moment in metal history to be a part of!!!!
Pop music had Michael Jackson... Metal still has Howard Jones. What a time to be alive
Fuck Jesse. Bring back Howard fully
@@Meda4icleiEunik man shut the fuck up.
Brings a grown man damn close to tears.
The Italian OG it really does
Nothing is better than hearing Howard sing this song. All the feels.
For sure
This song always gets me.
si
This is the embodiment of what metal is about. Community, amazing music and no bullshit. What an awesome moment.
robert haibi couldn't have said it better myself brother
robert haibi I completely agree
NO DOUBT!
No egos. It's all love out there with those guys. Any other band that has replaced vocalists, they are quick to talk shit about the previous guy i.e. Van Halen, Black Sabbath etc.
But Howard and Jesse have developed a legitimate friendship and that is one of the best things that can happen in music.
my hat is off to KSE!
Amazing... tbh I would have shit my pants if I was at a show and Howard Fuckin Jones came out on stage.
Absolutely agree! I was there too :) What a great KSE show, followed by Iron Maiden! :D
Even the security dude is loving this
His face during the scream at 3:05
He was laughing at Adam flipping off the stage right in front of him. But that really is the first time I've seen security jam out on the job.
Aside from being the security they should rock it out some time.
BTW He's really diggin "The End Of A Heartache". Pro'lly a Killswitch Engaged fan too~ 😊
@@jrtakesthesky27 when i saw Papa Roach at the 15 Years in the Making Tour the security guard was full on headbang, air guitar and all. It was the best thing I've seen guard wise
He had so much fun
This is a brotherhood
I love that howard still sounds like his old 2000 kse self but better. His vocals are very inspiring and is the icon of metalcore
Your Anime Otaku very true and his screams have grown to be even btr
Peter Angelo Parys exactly. His screams have come a long way for live performances by a dramatic change
Very well said. Could not have said that better. A lot is owed that band, in general.
Ikr and he's almost 50
Howard originally is opera singer
howard was jacked, then started to get pretty heavy, then really skinny, now hes almost jacked again. this man is a living transformer
when you go through a depression you loose and gain weight a lot :/
JagoRBX he's only gonna get more bulk
plus he's got a diabetes so that's one of the simptoms of that
Vedran Matkov nope, he beat diabetes, Jesse confirmed that in an interview last week. Howard fucking beat diabetes.
Depression will make your weight fluxuate bad.
Just hearing Howard's voice brings chills
Howards new band should tour with killswitch and they should always bring out Howard for the last song or something like that.
Edit: Dreams become reality, friends. And then COVID 19 crushes those dreams....had tickets for 1-29-20.
Edit edit: 03-01-2022 It finally happened.
THAT would be a successful run of shows
Floydfan47 hell yes, not only would he always be there, but Light the Torch supporting would be dope as hell
That will happen. Give it a minute for the suspense to build up. That will be a sold out tour. Before it even starts
Floydfan47 well Howard's gonna be a guest vocals in next Killswitch album
Marco Huerta I know
You can tell Howard was really living in the moment.
It's amazing to see Howard and Jesse collaborating like this. You don't see many bands do something like this with ex members
I think, (but I dont know), it was pretty much mutual. Howard has struggled with type 2 diabetes for a long time but the Adam D and the fam all like to drink and tour like crazy. Those lifestyles aren't necessarily exclusive but I can imagine wanting to distance yourself from it.
They've always maintained that hostility isn't necessary when dudes leave. They were cool with Jesse when he left too.
Idea: Killswitch rehire Howard, and the band operates with both vocalists getting equal representation. It would be tough to pull off on albums efficiently, but the tours would be incredible. Howard does leads and Jesse does backup on the Howard era stuff, and vice versa with Jesse’s era. Even just one tour like that would be a huuuuge draw.
Danny Romeo I would pay to see this
Dannyromeo- think that's what we are all hoping for. Managers: get this done. PLEASE
Howard left the band due to his own disinterest in the band!
I prefer Howard over Jesse big time but lets be real here, he wouldnt want to join the band anyway.
I’ve been saying this for years
Money issues would probably interfere with this ever happening
The world will be a better place when this two dudes write some material together.
and they kinda did, Howard has a guest feature on the new Killswitch record
They are. He’s singing on one song on the new album
@@lukegeiger243 This right here, and Jesse also sang with Howard and Adam on a song or two from End of Heartache.
They already did, but it's only for one song on the new album. Wish it was for the WHOLE album!
Shatter Machine 99 BOY DO I GOT NEWS FOR YOU ;)
Honestly, give me a two man KSE vocal team. Thanks God.
Howard Jones was the best thing that ever happen to Killswitch Engage
No Jesse pushing himself too hard then leaving, Howard taking over and transforming the band, Jesse getting healthy in time for Howard to need a break, and then Jesse coming back is the best thing to ever happen for Killswitch Engage.
Matt Evans Great perspective, bro!
Matt Evans doesn’t talk statistics.
Killswitch Engage is the best thing to happen to Killswitch Engage.
playing devils advocate and i hope im wrong...are KSE a pretty ruthless band, dumping their singers as soon as a problem arises? Their hereos Def Lepard waited for their drummer to recover from an amputated fuckin arm.
Howard's got pipes for days. He really did get himself healthy after his departure though, miss the old days!
This is so fucking beautiful (':
Full of emotions
Fucking love this song. Masterpiece
Reminds me if my 20's😆
Amazing performance! Love seeing howard sing with jesse! That hug in the end 😍 so heartwarming
Thank you Jesse. seriously what a cool dude.
Every time Howard is wearing a cap you know it´s about to go down
Would be a dream come true if Jesse and Howard created a KSE album together sharing the vocals. Both amazing vocalists and they compliment each other very well.
They're writing one together right now for the next album, and Jesse has also made a guest appearance on End of Heartache, specifically the track "Take This Oath."
This is what dreams are made of.
Jesse Leach, Howard Jones, Adam D, Mike D, Joel, Justin.....
That my friends is and will always be Killswitch Engage.
Nuff said!
Jesus, I've never liked Jesse's vocals that much, but him and Howard compliment each other sooooo well!
I wish they could both just be in the band! I fucking love Howard and Jesse and just hearing them both in a song is spectacular. Can’t wait for the new album to come out and hear Howard on it😁🤘🏽
Jesse can do for the Low and clean one.
Howard for the High Pitch Scream + Clean for sure
I don’t see why they can’t both be in the band
A lot of bands have two vocalists and it works for them but I think it wouldn't for killswitch
Matt Elrod Killswitch IS Howard and Jesse!!
Fernando Garcia it’s so awesome unlike Van Halen with a bunch of ego maniacs !!
The band is sick all have talent, but Howard brought another higher element to the table. Pains me when I hear people try to mimic his vocals. Their lead vocalist is good, but there is only one Howard Jones. Glad Howard is doing well and still making music. Kudos to Killswitch for keeping it 100 by bringing Howard on stage. Anyone else have this on loop?
I REALLY LOVE THE OPERATIC VOICE OF HOWARD !!
It's cool to see that Jesse got his brother a job as a bouncer at the show.
The end of heartache es y siempre será de Howard 💓
I was there and in that part I started to cry
, 2:39 , , the album The end of heartache was what brought me to Killswitch Engage and see howard back to sing my favorite song
and jesse helping on the backing vocals, is priceless
Love the fact that Jesse and Howard respect each others legacy with the band, great guys and a great band
Both vocalists kick ass but I do favor Howard. Brings back great memories and also one of the best live bands I have ever seen!!
Howard’s voice give me chills!! This song is perfection 😍😭😍
Brandon KSE is perfection and Howard was and Will be the best singer of KSE
@@GeZz. Big facts.
I've always been a fan of Killswitch Engage with Jesse Leach more, but this song is truly Howard Jones all the way, it was made for his voice and seeing them both perform it together shows they wont bullshit when credit is due. Major respect to them all for doing this.
One of the best comments I've read in this thread. I tend to lean towards Jesse too (although I do love and respect both), but yes, this is truely a Howard tune. It was Indeed awesome of the band to let him up there to tear this shit up.
All of the songs in the end of heartache and in As Daylight dies couldn t be sing by Jesse.
this dude's voice is eternally gold
I wanna hear Howard on ‘Always’!
Thomas Hassell that would be so f'n sick!!!!
Ohhh shit dude that would sound great, imagine a new acoustic version of it with Howard
I second on that bro
I agree! Same with songs like Hate by Design, Loyalty, We Carry on, and others
Same honestly not a big fan of Jesse.
I love this band. This is incredible. Howard and Jesse are both fucking amazing.
Holy shit tour together please!!!
They both played /play such a big part in killswitch. Awesome.
This is a dream come true. Hearing Howard and Jesse alternate vocals on the chorus is so perfect. This song is my all time favorite.
Adam was MIA the whole song. $20 says him and his wireless pack were riffin on the shitter.
I was also looking for him :DDD
Charlie Sandberg he likes running around the crowd while playing
Towards the middle/end, Adam runs off stage right before he jumps in to his solo and goes to the venue's bar to get a shot. He does his solo at the bar. It's sick as hell. There's videos of it. When he's gone off stage, he's playing wireless while simultaneously taking a shot!
Damn if Jones wasn’t doing Light the Torch then I highly recommend he returns to Killswitch and they continue as a 6 piece... he seems healthy enough to be back
Chad M totally agree Mates 👊👊👊
1,000,000,000% AGREED!
I’d rather have them be Brother Bands. Makes the situation better. And the surprise of having Howard come live a couple times a year would drive sales up for both bands.
I think the fans of the band would be happy if there were officially 2 vocalists in the band
Man if Howard came out unexpectedly during this song I would burst into tears while screaming the lyrics. Especially since he’s not with them anymore
Jesse Leach & Howard Jones rejoining KSE, Jesse Leach (Unclean vocals) & Howard Jones (Clean vocals) •

It sounds so much better when both of them sing
Thanks for sharing this, best of both worlds here.
Fucking Amazing, thanks for share this video bro, i love KSE, Howard still singing with that brutality, the best metalcore band ever.
Jose Francisco Urrutia salinas love KSE but as I lay dying are better
+Evin Kilicarslan As I Lay Dying is a good band bro!
...Unearth... Haha (:

If this doesn't make your heart shine and bring a tear to your eyes... Then you must been living on the moon the last 20 years....🤘😝

@@C.Brooks329 no he wasn’t but I know what you mean

As a KSE fan since 2000.... seeing what was, became and is now. Damn near made me cried. Seeing Howard and Jesse was a dream come true 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I am born, raised and live in the Caribbean , I grew up loving soca and reggae music. Somehow I stumbled on this band maybe a decade ago, and they are my favourite band in this era of music hands down.
Couldn't imagine any vocalist for this band other than these two men
Metal is the law,the law is the metal
Metal, the law is
Metal ..... LAAW
Love how even the security is into it. You never see that at shows. Outstanding.
I love Mista Jones's Voice regardless of mic quality, his voice is so soothing and calming.
I think its time a new dvd
Perfeito!
This is the beauty.....even the security enjoying it......fantastic man.....one of my favourite track
Howard still very much has a place in this band.. gosh, I wish they would have both singers..
brett patnode that would be awesome i too miss Howard in KSE
Just waiting for Joe Rogan to comment how 'Jacked' Howard is :)
Jaime bring that up
Dead ass crowds boo or they have absolutely no idea who Hojo is
Imagine the noise if this would have been a Killswitch show instead of a support show to Maiden!
@LargeLeader most maiden fans support bad music
1:33 is just flat out so damn heavy. Everytime I hear that section when the double bass kicks in with open hi hats and the matching guitar I get goosebumps. It's literally too good.
the way how these two dudes act with each other sound and vibe together? I don't care who leads, they both sound Sick to me and present a significant time for KillSwitch. Also nobody ever mentions how the bass player is always doing some cool stuff on stage haha
I love that the viking security guard is loving it lol
Anyone else notice AdamD run below the stage at 3:00 and flip Howard the bird?
Hahahahahahahah yes spotted him. Mad bastard.🤘🤘🤘🤘
Who’s watching in 2022 this chick!! 🤘🤘
May 2024, my dude! 🤟
thanks for sharing, this makes me so happy ♡
they need an album together!
Javier Scheuermann full kse
Ragnar as security hahaha
hahahahahaha
Howard sounded as he did years ago when this song came out. Same way to get the crowd going! Got to love Howard!
I'm absolutely speechless thank you for posting
That camera men is really enjoying Howard 😂
But where is that recorded footage ???
damn Howard got fit
Thanks for capturing and sharing this awesome moment!
Needed this song/vid today!
Just wanted to acknowledge the guitarist wearing that Lucha Underground shirt. Nice.
He is wrestlingfan ;)
Yep.
Howard is swole boi
No? Just and average medium build?
Me dieron un chingo de escalofríos y ganas de llorar. 🖤
I was lucky enough to be there that night. They was opening for Iron Maiden! This is a moment I’ll never forget! 🤘
kse = Howard
why don't they just have both singers in the band
LSgaming420 because Howard left because of his own disinterest so he probably wouldn’t want to rejoin,also Howard has his own band that he’s doing songs with called light the torch
Takes me back ❤️
this is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Jones IS KSE.....
2018 sério ???
You know it’s badass when the security in front is head banging too
Awesome to see both singer's together...and making the song greater
But did that guy with the gimbal get the shot???
The lead singer was SHOOK by the original singer
Jesse is the original singer so what are you talking about?
fckin' dope
i love Howard
and Jesse
the band could keep with both
holy shit
i was hoping if there will be an album with both of them collab together
Lost my voice to this track when they came to mtl back in 2012... Nice to see Howard again.. what a treat.
