The best of Howard Jones in Killswitch Engaged: Break The Silence & Reject Yourself. Yes, it's the underrated songs
Yes please, react to the studio version! ❤
I was at the concert. It was in Mass at the palladium. I think 2009 or 2010. The studio version is great
The Howard era of KSE is 🔥
Absolutely
Their self title with Howard was pretty lame tho…
No disrespect to Jesse, but yes🤘🏻
PRIME
@@Boozer13 i love that one....save me...i would do anything..there is a ton of bangers on there
Killswitch Engage is at the apex of metal core, their blend of blistering riffs, solos, bass and drum thunder along with soul tearing screams woven with beautiful melodies is a true audio experience.. both lead singers Howard and Jesse bring it and are worthy of all the praise they get, buckle up for this ride it is truly unique 💯🔥
Well said my dude! Killswitch Engage will always have a spot in my heart and soul. Love those guys.
Jesse or Howard?
Their solos are a bit underwhelming
@@twiztid133 I suppose it’s all a matter of preference and who you’re comparing against, Adam and Killswitch keep it in the lane of the song melodically so there isn’t the complexity of a Petrucci or Vai solo but I feel the harmony speed and articulation of KE’s guitar work is on point for the music they produce.
@@dustin6673 I lean a little toward Howard there is a beautiful depth and richness to his tone that fills the space, and Jesse just slays with his screams and resonates emotion in every word. 1A and 1B for me, what about you man
This album is one straight banger after banger. This era of Metal was great.. also Howard is a beast! Got to meet him at a small show in Brooklyn with light the torch
One of those classic albums where every song is a hit. 10/10 album.
Dam right
There’s a wrestler by the name of Roderick Strong who used this song as his entrance and his finishing move is named End of Heartache
C.M. punk's entrance is this fire
Thanks for reacting to Killswitch. Love it! Lots of great music from them. If you do a song called The Signal Fire you can see both singers who have fronted the band singing together.
Yep. It's sooooo good!
The guitarist who sings back up vocals was on an episode of The Price is Right and it was hilarious and awesome seeing this tall ass, burly, metal head guy happier than a kid in a candy store to participate in the show. He didn’t do too bad, either. He won the whole thing including a little yellow car that he could probably barely fit inside of. It was never mentioned that he was in a band or anything, he was just a random guest like everyone else lol
I remember that. I actually had it saved on record so i could re watch it. Adam Dutkiewicz is hilarious and damn well talented. I've seen them 3 times now. My most favorite band ever.
Would anyone happen to know what episode of what season he was on the price is right?
I love this band and the price is right 😆
@@2daWallballz13 ua-cam.com/video/HoURKpodX14/v-deo.html
@@crazydrummer181 Oh wow! Bro you an awesome person! Thank you
@@2daWallballz13 no problem dude
Melodic metalcore is tricky to make palatable, but they do it well.Their cover of Holy Diver is great.
And the video for Holy Diver is hilarious. Adam as the princess with his lamb chops 🤣🤣🤣
I was in a band a while back that did a cover of the killswitch Holy diver cover, but our singer sounded way more like Dio. I think a lot of people who heard it didn't realize we were staying very faithful to the killswitch instrumentals but Dio vocals. Music is fun.
Yessssd
How is it any less palatable than other forms of metalcore? I think it’s the most accessible honestly. Curious to hear your take on this
@@bobjenks8642 they might mean that some ppl think it's too melodic (particular ppl more into less accessible music) while others think it can be too inaccessible despite the melodies (as with a lotta metal or hardcore from their perspectives really)
Like, I always found some melodic metalcore and a lotta the melodeath that influenced its sound to be pretty hit or miss for me. But I love plenty stuff that's both more and less accessible.
Fun fact about the guitarist Adam, he went on the Price is Right and won both showcases on the showcase showdown
I was at this show. It was epic, one of the best shows I've been too still to this date.
Love this song and love Killswitch! Howard Jones is a seriously underrated vocalist!
Literally the first time I requested this song and they actually took their time to do it🔥🔥thank you
Rose of sharyn is another great song
Rose of Sharyn is 🔥🔥🔥
I actually get choked up when someone not really interested in this type of music actually gives it a chance & actually LOVES IT !!!... as I do!!!... if more people would open their ears & hearts they will “feel” it too.... it’s a feeling more than a sound when this type of music is concerned... Thank you 🙏🏼
5:09 - CM Punk's first WWE theme was "This Fire Burns", which was sung by Howard Jones, who was the lead vocalist for KSE at the time.
I've seen these guys 4-5 times over the last 20ish years from ballrooms to arenas and they blew it out of the water every time. Always high energy, funny between songs, always a blast!
Yep! I've seen them 4 times. Once with Howard and three with Jesse, and they killed it every time. Always one of the bands I highly recommend checking out live when people newer to the genre ask who they should go see.
Same saw them 4 times and never disappointed!!
Nice one polo! My last serenade next !Oh yeh let's go !
5:15
Roderick Strong just debuted in All Elite Wrestling with this as his theme song
Howard Jones voice was and still is utter perfection. Also, the energy in that place during this was just phenomenal. I'd have given near anything to have been there in person. I get chills every time I watch this vid. 😍
2:00 thanks man. We were an amazing crowd. It was a great show. I can even see myself in the crowd of the second song in this video lol
I got to see them live a few times always a great show. My favorite memory was Adam introducing a song by saying "this is a song about when Howard went ice skating... darkness falls" this band is amazing should definitely check out the song rose of Sharon by kse. Keep up the content
The greatest opening to a song, I could barely listen to the song cause I couldn't stop laughing 😂
This song was my gateway into heavier metal music. It holds a special place in my 💜
Me too. Now I'm seeing Morbid Angel in April.
Their early albums are fire from start to finish....every song
I love this band and I'm glad you really liked this one! Do the studio version if you want, but also do "My Curse" and "The Signal Fire", as the others are saying down here as well.
This verison is the best version of end of heartache . The energy and musicianship they play live is amazing. Pinch squeals all day ❤
i was at that concert in worcester, ma at the paladium. hands down the single best experience ive ever had from a live show. such amazing energy and memories for a lifetime.
Best feeling ever for musicians when crowd sing with them
05:14 Funny you should say that, cuz this was Roderick Strong's entrance music at one time. He still calls his finisher, "The End of Heartache".
Thank you for reacting to this song! It really brought me back to my teen years (I'm in my mid 30s now)! KSE was definitely one of my top favorite bands from that time.
I would listen to My Last Serenade by them but its a different singer that is equally awesome. After that I recommend their song Signal Fire that actually had both singers.
I saw these guys in concert years ago and it was unforgettable, the lead singer climbed the tower of speakers on the side of the stage and dove into the crowd then crowd surfed back up to the stage while still singing.
I've been to a lot of concerts and their showmanship is the best I've ever seen.
Howard has an amazing voice. Every time I saw them live was insane. Rose of Sharon is a great song. Heavy!!
No, Sir...
You are Absolutely Correct...
It IS A Metal Ballad, But With The Proper Energy...
Thats the best summary of This Masterpiece that ive ever heard...
...You, Sir, ...Are a Natural-Born Musical Savant!!🤟🖤
Howard Jones is a beast. He can sing, scream, growl, anything needed he can do. This is my favorite from them, but they’ve got so many good ones. They’ve had two vocalists though. Jesse Leach started with the band, Howard came along and then left the band, and Jesse is back now. They’ve got a song called “My Curse”. If you listen to it, please do the album version.
Studio version!!! YES!!
I’m almost 50 and only recently found KSE, Howard and Jesse are amazing. Through them I made my way to Trivium, In Flames and Parkway Drive . It feels like I’m a kid again in the 80s finding Metallica and Megadeth , except I get to ingest all their work over a short period.
In that case you should check out Howard's newer bands post Killswitch Devil You Know and Light The Torch. Light The Torch's Calm Before The Storm and Become The Martyr are epic.
Man check out all that remains old and new stuff, same guess for spiritbox they kill it.
@@troygarza5720 love it all thanks anyway
KSE with Howard 🤘🏼
Whole album is brilliant, you should definitely spend some time with it! It will blow you away I think.
This was also my first KSE song. Heard it on the radio in like 2005-2006ish. Instantly fell in love. Howard's an incredible vocalist.
Searched your videos to get your views back up..we did that for another channel after they suffered way low views all of a sudden. He asked us to type his name in to search and watch share and like a few videos and we did and his views went way back up. I love your stuff and genuinely. 😊
I was at this show, was mid summer during an off day from touring on Ozzfest. Whole show was non stop energy. One of the best shows I’ve been to.
I find it awesome/hilarious you mentioned coming out to this song on WWE. CM Punk used “This Fire” by this same band as his entrance music and it is epic.
I was in that crowd. This is at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts, where they're from. Take it from someone from someone from Massachusetts, these are the hometown legends. I've played on some of the same stages as them back in the day. They were our heroes.
PLEASE react to more of their music, sir. You will love them. They've had two different vocalists throughout the years, and their history and energy within the region is storied and unmatched.
I suggest reacting to ANY song from this live performance, but if you're looking for studio versions of stuff, I'd recommend Rose of Sharyn, My Last Serenade, When Darkness Falls, Fixation on the Darkness, or new-ish stuff like Arms of Sorrow, In Due Time, The Signal Fire, they're amazing you can't go wrong just pick a song lol. Thank you so much for this reaction, man.
Howard is mt favorite vocalist of al time. Hes so good live its insane
Amazing song !!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Brother Jones! Howard is an amazing vocalist!!
It’s awesome you mention this as a walkout, back around this era, CM Punks walkout song was This Fire also by Killswitch. Another great song
I was in that crowd, crazy to think its been almost 20 years already...time flies.
There is a wrestler that uses this song as his entrance music..roderick strong..his finishing move is called the end of hearteache too
Love this reaction! Can’t stop watching that thing in the background
I want to see you react to this song every which way you can find it!!!
The music video has Howard just giving it his all also, he is just an amazing singer.
I love how you didn't pause the song a million times. You could tell by watching that you were truly taking in the song and enjoying it.
Definitely listen to the studio version!!!
Yes Polo!!! It was a matter of time before you got to this one! This is my go to song when I need to release some emotion!!
this song is the lyrical manifestation of a Time Machine 🖤
I’ve seen them like 7 times and they are amazing every time. End of Heartache was peak Killswitch in my life. I was like 20 when this came out. I went through shit to them lol Like you’ve really been touching on my teens/twenties metal playlist lol Slipknot, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Killswitch, Rammstein, Korn, Disturbed, Rage Against the Machine, Evanescence. Acid Bath, Marilyn Manson, everything Mike Patton, KMFDM, are a few you haven’t done yet.
Now you need some Orbit culture. Do it. 🤘🤘🤘
Hell yeah Acid Bath, Dax Riggs is one of my favorite vocalists. I'm sure you have, but if not check out his other projects Agents of Oblivion and Deadboy & the Elephantmen. Awesome taste in music, cheers!
@@INDRIDCOLD83 Deadboy and the Elephantmen is amazing 🖤 I feel the same way about Dax. They would have been big if Audie hadn’t died 😞 Deadboy isn’t the same as Tool, but it takes me on a similar kind of journey. Just with his voice. I wish more people knew who they were 🖤
Holy shit you're metal playlist is literally perfect. Only the best metal bands.
Are you into their newer stuff? Also have you heard their side gig Times of Grace? Some good stuff. Killswitch is one of my dads favorites. I took him to his first Killswitch concert in 2018 and he had a blast.
On your note about walkout music. The wrestler CM Punk used to walkout to the song "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engaged.
Killer tune, I've loved it since the 1st listen, great reaction man!!🤘😎🤘
As a metal head, I always thoroughly enjoy seeing people enjoy my music. Excellent!
Howard is a beast of a singer
Polo- It is subjective, you like what you like.
I went to this show and it was so electrifying! Good good times 🤘
Seen them open for Lamb of God in Minneapolis. Absolutely killed it, and the Armory is an amazing venue.
Such a great performance. Glad you enjoyed it mango
both versions are amazing! his is an almost daily listen for me. im 55 and a born and bred metalhead. still love me some old school rap though. thats why i look for this kind of stuff. happy you like it. its a great group!
The song was used for Rodrick Strong's entrance theme while he was in the Pro Wrestling Indies!
Signal the fire, my curse, Rose of Sharyn, all great KSE bangers worth a listen
I fell in love with this band before this album came out and when it did, I got it as soon as I could. Learned this song on guitar and my band covered it a bunch of times. this song will always mean a ton to me. so glad to see you enjoy it for the first time. thanks for posting.
How did I miss this?! Love it. Thanks Polo
I saw them way back in the day. They were pretty damn good live.
Everything Howard Jones touches turns to gold.
He is talent incarnate
Been listening to KSE since 2002. Love both singers. Great workout music for sure.
There are at least 2 studio versions that I know of. There's an album version and the radio edit. The radio edit has less screaming btw lol.
Something I just noticed this time seeing the live version. The way he hold the mic to change the way it picks up his voice, you can see him open and close his hand around the top (perfect example is at 7:33 of this video he opens his hand at "my" singing "for the end of my"), I thought it was a edit of his voice for the studio version, but he's replicating it live by doing that so it must have been what he did from the beginning.
My top 3 all-time favorite live band.
And their song My Curse
Best part of this reaction is just watching your face go from blank to smiling.
It's truly a great song. Nice reaction. 👍
Re: wrestling - CM Punk used to come out to 'This Fire Burns" by these guys back in the day. ✌️
I miss Howard KSE so much, but I'm glad we have these amazing albums and songs!
Dont care wich singer they have!!! As a band, as a whole, underrated as fuck!!!!
This live version is a killer!!! I like it more than a studio probably. The vibe is so strong.
Yes! Studio version! Maybe clean version too. Love this!
My Favorite song of theirs 🤩.
We were there that night! This was filmed in Worcester, MA at the Palladium. KsE is always incredible live, with either Howard or Jesse. Thanks for this reaction!
Man... I watched this DVD so many times.
Hey Polo this singer is Howard Jones , the original singer and current singer is Jesse Leech , Howard filled in the time when Jesse left the band. Jesse was singer from 99-2002, and 2012 - present . Howard was 2002 -2012
Ive seen KSE twice, they were on the tour with Slipknot and they were amazing only to be followed by Slipknot and then I saw them on their own tour with "light the torch " as an opening act. Light the Torch is Howard 's new band. At the end of KSE set Howard came on stage and did some songs with KSE as the vocalist and then they did this song with with Howard and Jesse sharing vocals. Both times were amazing but with Howard and Jesse sharing this was a different experience.
A wrestler named rodrick strong used this song on the indies and cm punk used there song this fire in the wwe
Killswitch Engage (or KSE for short...) from Massachusetts broke big in 2004 w/ their 2nd vocalist Howard Jones and the album 'The end of heartache' ... a record that sold gold (half million copies) in the US, followed by 'As daylight dies' (2006) which also sold gold... Unfortunately, Howard Jones left Killswitch Engage after 2010, citing health issues... He is currently recording & touring w/ his own band Light the Torch.
Massachusetts cultivated a healthy metal scene that produced bands like Godsmack, Shadows Fall, All That Remains... Killswitch Engage was formed in 1999 and debuted their first album in 2000 w/ vocalist Jesse Leach... the band's line-up solidified in 2002 w/ Adam Dutkiewicz (drums), Joel Stroetzel (guitar), Mike D'Antonio (bass) for the 2nd album 'Alive or just breathing' in '02, which saw KSE sign w/ Roadrunner Records... Their sound was dubbed 'metalcore' which combined the extreme metal riffs w/ hardcore 'breakdowns' ... Adam Dutkiewicz switched to guitar, and the band were expected to tour heavily... However, vocalist Jesse Leach had gotten married and opted to step out of KSE in 2003... With the band slated to tour on Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest 2003, KSE hired vocalist Howard Jones and the band were a huge success on the road... Justin Foley (drums) eventually joined the band permanently.
This concert was released in 2005 as a live DVD w/ the title '(Set this) World ablaze'.
With high expectations, Killswitch Engage broke big commercially w/ the 2004 album 'The end of heartache'... which got MTV exposure and became the band's biggest-selling record... 'As daylight dies' was also another commercial success in 2006... KSE released another self-titled album in 2009... But this time, it was Howard Jones who opted to take a break as the band went on tour w/ vocalist Phil Labonte of All That Remains filling in... Following the tour, KSE amicably split w/ Howard Jones.
Howard Jones would take time off, but returned in 2014 w/ the band The Devil You Know... they were re-named Light the Torch in 2018 (after 2 albums as The Devil You Know) and released 2 more albums.
Adam Dutkiewicz had collaborated w/ vocalist Jesse Leach on a side project Times of Grace (their debut album 'The Hymn of a broken man' was released in 2011... a 2nd album 'Songs of loss & separation' was released in 2021)... KSE announced in 2013 that Jesse Leach (vocals) was returning to the band.
KSE returned w/ Jesse Leach on vocals for the 2013 album 'Disarm the descent'... followed by 'Incarnate' (2016)... and 'Atonement' (2019)... Both Leach and former vocalist Howard Jones sang on 1 KSE track - 'The signal fire' 🔥🔥🤘🤘
More Killswitch Engage song suggestions - 'A bid farewell'... 'As daylight dies'... 'Rose of Sharyn'... 'Last serenade'... "Holy diver" (Dio cover)... 'My curse'... 'I am broken too'... 'Unleashed'... 'In due time'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
In WWE CM punk walked out to This Fire Burns by killswitch....and this is PRIME killswitch absolute prime..
One of my favorite bands of all time
Fun fact, there is a wrestler who walked with this song, his name is Roderick Strong, and his entrance was legendary in ROH
Love the open mind brother, keep up the great work
it was really cool getting to see howard and jesse sing this together on the atonement tour
KSE are one of the reasons I survived High School. This is one of my all time favorite live dvds.
Listen to My Curse and their cover of Holy Diver
I’ve met Howard around 15-16 years ago. As Day Light dies tour. Still one of the best damn show’s.
This was amazing live.
Wrestler Cm punk had a song by killswitch engaged. Song was called, "this fire burns"
Thank you for keeping such an awesome open mind and for such a fun review video. Mad respect for someone who clearly genuinely loves music. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more reaction vids now that I subscribed 👍
KSE my favorite band totally underrated
