    Okay don't get me wrong, Jesse Leach is a great singer too and I know that he was the original lead singer of Killswitch Engage. But there's just something about Howard that made the band sound unique and different from most typical rock bands and he's the reason I've recently got into this band in the first. The man is a beast with those powerful vocals and the fact that he did a cover of a Dio song of all things and absolutely nailed it proves it.

And he acknowledged us and said thanks for coming out to the show! Then he jumped on his bus, and took off. It probably didn’t mean anything to him, but to us it meant the world. Being life long fans of his work, it was a very special moment. He’s the best!
