Hey I'm reaching out for video reactions I believe you have the channel that is perfect for my music I also hit your email and Instagram 😂 let me know the bizz and let's work
@leileyaravencroft except that Howard's screams are way better and harsher and more of a SCREAM than David's "screaming/yelling". But yeah I get what you mean, both are great singers/vocalists and greatly trained
I can’t remember what exact video but he literally says everyone always thinks/says he has opera background but he has none whatsoever. It may have been on one of Jared dines videos but I could be wrong
Howard WAS Killswitch for a lot of us. Dude knows exactly how to reach that spot in our souls. His current project with Jarod Dines is pretty good too, Sion. He’s still got that killer voice.
@@TheSoberDoc_ My dad took me to see them live in 2009 & I knew nothing about the band. They played Rose of Sharyn live. My dad passed in 2021 & I cannot listen to Rose of Sharyn anymore without crying a river because of that memory with him. The song has so much emotion it's crazy.
Kill switch with Howard is peak. The end of heartache album is their greatest work. Howard is amazing on vocals combined with Adam D’s guitar stylings, they are unstoppable.
Leech and jones are both amazing. Saw KSE with light the torch last year in Detroit….Jones came out and did all his bangers and gave leech a break then they did signal fire…. I about died from joy….
@@raymondharnack4160 I last KSE live when Howard still fronted. I would absolutely die if I could see both him and Jesse perform together, especially The Signal Fire.
Their concerts sound exactly like this, one of the few bands that can pull off the actual recording quality in their live shows! ...and added bonus mosh pits 🔥
Killswitch Engage while Howard was still in the band was my very first concert ever back in 2009 & my intro into metalcore. The show was absolutely incredible. I had not heard of them before going to the concert, but man they put on such a memorable show that I will NEVER forget it. Howard to this day remains my favorite vocalist to exist in the metalcore scene. The End of Heart Ache, As Daylight Days, and their Second self-named Album that he helped create when he was in the band all have a very very very important place in my heart.
Saw them live three times 2008-2010. They were one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Howard Jones has such an incredible presence and energy live.
they let me and my friends into their show in Winnipeg in like 2007 because we brought a copy of a goofy ass horror movie they loved. good dudes, and great music. thanks for checking them out
I've listened to this song a thousand times and this is the first time I've heard the radio edit. Like other comments suggest.. it's missing so much of the soul and pain of the original.
I saw them back in 2008 (I think?) with the sickest lineup I've ever had at any concert I've ever been to. It was Chimaira, Lacuna Coil, Killswitch Engage, and the headliner was Disturbed. Bar none, best concert I've ever been to. And that's saying a lot considering I've been to a lot more concerts since then and it still tops my list. lol.
Even though I loved hearing Jesse coming back to KSE, Howard holds a special place, he is just a GOAT, amazing vocals, energy and feelings. Everytime I listen to Howard, I just get goosebumps for how good he is
I attended their concert in 2019 in London but with Jesse as their frontman... Their live stages can't be explained, you just have to be there to experience the energy they have as a group, the way the fans react to the songs, etc. But one thing I can say is that I never thought when I first listened to them while watching Resident Evil, that they could be this amazing live! Howard was, is, and will forever be such an integral part of the group, whether he is there singing or not, it doesn't matter. He is super dope and such a talented vocalist!
Man, you are missing out by not catching the live version of this. Not just because you can see me in the crowd, but because it was amazing!!!!!! One of the best recorded shows I have ever heard.
I love this band so much…They are so much fun to watch live! I got to meet their guitar player Adam D and he was such a nice guy to all the fans that waited after the show to meet them! Great band and a total class act!
My first concert was headlined by Killswitch Engage and All That Remains and Bury Your Dead at a small venue in Colorado Springs called the Black Sheep. It was a dope experience. Bury Your Dead had some insane stage presence back then too, definitely should check out their live dvd "Bury Your Dead Alive" when you get the chance. It really highlights how energetic a lot of these shows were back then.
Howard Jones is one of the Singers of our era. He's no longer in the band, but from that álbum "this is absolution" is another gem. You should listen "Drown" from one of his new bands Sion. Howard never dissapoints. 🖤
Agreed, KSE has no bad song, after I first heard them, I went on a binge listening to everything they ever released. One of my all time favorite bands.
They don't have bad songs, just songs not as good as others. Depends when you listen to them though, hits different at different points of your life but they got a song for every feeling no matter what you are going through. And to those that need to hear this: I Am Broken Too
I’ve seen KSE live a handful of times and they never disappoint. Howard Jones is also incredibly kind and appreciative to his fans, especially if you get the chance to speak to him personally. He definitely knows how to handle a crowd as well, and he welcomes and encourages crowd participation. The live version of this song gives a good glimpse into that aspect of their live performances as the crowd joins together to sing along with him. Anytime you’re in an audience like that the feeling is electric as you all come together as one voice led by Howard. I honestly can’t say enough nice things about them. They’re one of my favorite bands of all time.
I saw them on the Taste of Chaos tour twice back in like '04 or '05! it was amazing! Howard sounds AMAZING live! He was able to pick up where Jesse left off perfectly with the band! I love the Howard Jones Era! The crowd was intence, I lost my shoe in the pit and fell down and my budy had to drag me out while I dragged my shoe out with my bare foot! We strapped back up and went right back in! Those were good times!
He has diabetes that was made worse from touring, he was in a coma for 3 days at one point. He also suffers from depression and almost killed himself but was stopped by a wellness check called by his neighbors back in the late 2000's. I believe he is doing better these days. @@ruff1draft
I saw them last year for Metal Blade Anniversary here in Vegas and they were really good. Had a huge mosh pit that got out of hand. The guitar player got off stage and walk himself to the bar while still playing and got himself a beer and walk back to the stage. He is know for doing that. They dont have that singer anymore. They got their old singer back but even still they put on a great show.
I can tell you that these were the craziest and most emotional shows I've ever been to! Laughing, screaming, crying, joy, rage, everything all in one.❤
In 2018, I saw them twice in one year! This is actually a watered down version of the song but it’s still lit. Their concerts though, are absolutely amazing and energetic!
I've seen them live. It was incredible, and this song in particular- at times, the crowd was louder than the band, singing along. That's saying something at a metal show, where it's so loud you have to scream as loud as you can directly in your friend's ear if you need to tell them something.
Ive seen these guys 3 times live, the first time I accidently got caught in a quick forming pit and I got knocked out and they stopped the show to carry me out :P I got free tickets for their next show they did and that was the 2nd time I got to see them! :) Their shows are INSANE! and they sound JUST as good live!
man this is great. ive been on killswitch my whole life. its great to see ppl finding metal core. youll find all kinds of artists and bands that speak to your soul. In concert they are insane. whole joint bumping
Hello there Mr. LayedBakDFR. First off, congratulations on 2.53 million subscribers. Well done! This is honestly the first time I've come across your channel, and it was a thrill to watch this video. I was rocking out right along side you. I've been a big fan of Killswitch Engage for over 20 years at this point. I've seen them in concert several times, and yes, it's an amazing, crazy, and LOUD show every single time. The guys have written a ton of great songs over the years (fun fact: Adam, one of the guitar players, attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston). I'm glad you enjoyed "The End of Heartache." It's one of the band's best known songs and is a concert staple. Howard Jones is a fantastic singer, no question about it. He left Killswitch Engage back in 2012 due to health reasons (he has type 2 diabetes), but he and the band members are all good friends to this very day. He is still active in the music industry, and last I knew, he was in a band called Light the Torch. Rock on buddy! \m/ \m/
Can confirm, they're concerts are insane! Our crowd knocked over a whole Rockstar Energy Float that the venue had the misfortune of placing in the middle of the grass pit haha
Probably the best concert I've been to. Up by the stage isnt for the faint of heart. It gets rowwwwwdyyy. The only way i can describe it, is it feels like getting pushed around by ocean waves, except the waves are people. I Introduced my friend to crowd surfing for the first time, and we were on the front line for the "wall of death" (the crowd gets split down the middle, and just charges, braveheart style, when the song drops.) during Rose of sharyn. Howard stage dived and my friend and I caught him. During their first song Adam popped right up to us on the front row and just said so nonchalantly "Whats up? How yall doin?", and made similar small talk throughout the whole show. Unforgettable night. Memories that'll last a lifetime.
I've been to 3 of their shows. 2 with Jesse and 1 with both Howard (singer in the video) and Jesse and it was amazing each time. Their show is so much better live! No let downs at all like you get sometimes in person. Howards vocals were soooooo amazing live
I saw them in 2005, at a venue in our small town midway between Sacramento and Portland that held maybe 300 people. They were the headliners and local bands opened for them. KSE sounds exactly like what you hear in this, except more energy. You don't just hear them you feel them. Adam, the one with the big "chops"...he can really rial the crowd. They ended their set with "Holy Diver".
I love the song. That being said, I have not seen the reaction yet. I am commenting before watching it. I just wanted to point out that there is multiple versions of the same song off of the album versus at the end of resident evil Apocalypse versus one additional version all outside of live that has nuanced differences. I’m a big fan of the song so I wanted to comment before I get into it. 😅
Bro I seen them at Kansas City Rock Fest and it was amazing. They jammed out and the crowd was so electric. I've been a fan of theirs for well over a decade.
Watched Killswitch live in London in 2004/5. London's gig/concert halls are very old, made in the 1th century, so you can imagine how the guitars sounded in that little arena. Fortunate to have seen this front man (Howard) before he stepped aside and their original vocalist (Jesse) came back. Personally, I think Howard's natural singing brings that power ballet edge during the chorus;.
I saw them live back in 2009 at the now defunct Mayhem Festival. When they opened with this song, with that chugging guitar riff, I swear to god I felt the organs in my body *move*. They were louder than fuckin Slayer! It was quite the experience.
I went to there concert like 10 plus years ago and the lead singer jumped off the 15ft tall speakers into the crowd, I have never seen another singer do something that crazy. It took him a hot minute to get back on the stage.😊
This song is so fun to play on guitar. I love this tune. As well as fixation on the darkness, always, life to lifeless,rose of sharon.. there are so many good songs from KSE.
Been to a Killswitch Engage concert back in the day when this Album came out. It was one of the absolute best Rock/metal shows I've ever been to. Their stage performance was S tier, singing on point and overall vibe was off the rails!
This song was so legendary in 2006. EVERYONE and their mama wanted to go see them live because of this song. And when they did it was like the Roman coliseum.
The band I was in had the honor of sharing the stage with KSE with their original singer Jesse. Saw them live with Howard Jones (this guy as well)... Their shows are amazing. Lots of energy.
Their concerts have been some of the most energetic performances ive ever seen from the artists, but more importantly from the attendees, ive seen them several times but only ever with Jesse as the front man and he still does the song justice, my buddy took me to see them for the first time not really knowing their stuff, they opened for Lamb of God..that show was top 3 best concerts ive ever been to, a small venue of maybe 3000 people but it was just one massive mosh pit together in this little theatre, luckily we sat in the mezzanine and we had a birds eye view of it all watching the crowd surfers go one after another and the crowd chanting along to the music, me and my buddy still talk about it to this day over 10years later, most concerts nowadays just arent the same
The first concert I ever went to was the first year they did "Taste of Chaos" back in 2006. Killswitch Engage was the only reason I went and let me tell you...they absolutely killed it. Howard's energy as a front man (especially back then) was the stuff of legends. Dude was doing summersaults on stage and was at 110% for their entire set. It's one of those show I still think about.
Killswitch is easily one of my favorite bands. Howard has such a powerful voice. Jessie is great too. You should check out signal fire where Howard comes and rejoins the band in a guest spot.
Their concerts are epic! The original singer (Jesse) is back with them now but if you catch them up in Boston usually Howard comes out as a guest to sing as well.
Omg bro, I haven’t seen you in a minute, but uhhh I saw that mf noti AND I HAD TO FUCKIN SEE THIS SHIT. I been in my heavy metal grind after years of rap music, it’s really cool that you are diverse with your taste. For sure you should look into Howard jones more!
