Most bands re-record parts on live albums/dvds to get it to sound perfect. That's what it sounds like they did here. I've seen Killswitch live many times and they sounded freaking amazing, near flawless, but it wasn't like this haha
Seriously. I’ve never seen Killswitch live, unfortunately, but I’m more disappointed I never got to see them in the End of Heartache era. God dammit to go back in time and be at this show specifically…..
As good as Adam can scream, as much as he tries to be serious, he just can't help making people laugh. In a good way of course, he's just always awesome and hilarious.
Howard Jones vocals are beyond amazing, i absolutely loved Killswitch Engage when he was with them, i replay these songs over and over just to hear that fire in his voice, his gift is unparalleled , i miss those days
I know it's been mentioned before, but I can't get over how hilarious it is to watch Adam mute Justin's cymbals. I know Justin is fully capable of muting his own cymbals, so you know there had to have been a discussion at some point between Adam and Justin like: [Adam]- "You know what would be cool?" [Justin]- "What?" [Adam]- If I muted your cymbals for you at 1:14 and 2:34." [Justin]- "Sure, fuck it." LOL.
Killswitch Engage is the greatest metalcore band to ever exist. Period. They are superstars in a genre flooded with lame to mediocre bands. One of the only in their genre that can hold a candle to the all time greats of both hardcore and heavy metal music.
Absolutely awesome DVD this was and still is! My mother is 72 and came with me to see KSE recently before covid hit in the UK. She loves your vocals Howard and is probably more in tune with the current music scene than I am (her son! Lol) Come to the UK with Light The Torch and I swear we will be there to see you perform!!!! Your a legend in our household!!! Love the fact you have been doing appearances with KSE in early 2022!! Still sounding amazing dude 🤘🤘
I agree this is one of the most beautiful choruses I have ever heard. The Element Of One is also another very good one in my opinion. Here a link to a good quality performance (same concert as the video we are commenting on) ruclips.net/video/Aas2UgOo5Nc/видео.html The original (studio version) was of course sung by Jesse Leach tho, I think the studio version with jesse leach is just as good as the performance with Howard on vocals. But in general they have many songs like these because Killswitch Engage is that kind of band, you just have to dig deeper.
i do love it when u get 2 amazing singers in 1 band, everyone compares, i just enjoy each version, both different both amazing. just sit back and enjoy.
Howard, greatest vocalist in KSE. Adam with his antics on stage is a showman and can make people laugh, cry, throw fists up in the air and who can't do push-ups during the song is rare! This jam takes me back when I was 18 and how I would love to be in that crowd. It's crazy and so amazing!
No one could feel jessi shoes exempt Howard and no one could come close to Howard but Jessi like them both. Howard has more power and control to his voice.
Very true neither is a downgrade nor upgrade. They are very different sounds but both are great and work in their own way . However in my opinion I have always enjoyed Howard’s sound more but leech is great too that’s just a matter of preference
The muting and speed of the noise gate is just smashing this spectacular performance to a studio quality even live. Like a honed edge this shit is tight!
Still an awesome performance all these years later. Anyone here in 2022 following Howard’s guest appearances with KSE in February and March with Jesse and the rest of the band?? Guy is 51 now and still sounds as amazing as he ever did. I bet a part of Howard Jones regrets leaving but I know he was in a bad place at the time and his health had to come first!!! Come to the UK Howard with Light The Torch please 🙏
It's hard to believe anyone can sound this good live.
Leigh Hicks He's a fucking god; I promise
ikr

Seen em live. They do.
@@pulp735 yeah, vocals are definitely edited and cleaned up a bit
Lets face it we all came here because we miss Howard.
Well-- To be honest i came for Adams "EY-OOH" xD
well, i came here because of adam's 1:14 cymbal stop :-D. howard was an awesome singer, no doubt. but the band has not gotten worse with jesse.
Clawf1ng3r Adam is Killswitch pretty much. Howard was the icing on the cake i'll admit, but as long as Adam's around they will sound damn good.
I will buy you a six pack for that comment sir.
I listened to Howard for nine F*cking years!
Only Adam D would do push ups during a breakdown lmao
2:34 beautiful chemistry
Always cracks me up to see Adam choke that crash before the chorus
The best of Killswitch Engage was the Howard Era
This is the truth that many killswitch fans does not exept it...the man is the perfect voice for the band.. period.
@@user-sg4ym8ui1v I haven't listened to any albums Jesse has made since his return, light this torch is better long live Howard!!
Love Jessie and his words are powerful but darn this is rather good
Agreed, nothing against those who followed him.
My only issue with Jesse is he can’t sing. His voiced is doctored big time on recordings. They still rip tho
0:46 AAAOOOO
eooo was it??
Wow! this sounds better than the studio version.
If he didn't cup his microphone here I would be able to agree with you. Unfortunately he sounds muffled in some sections.
Badasssss
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Howard rulesssss.... He's the main reason I listen to this band
I agree, Howard is Awesome!!!!!!!!
It’s always a magical thing to watch a band at their absolute peak. This was KSE at theirs.
Right? I always come back to this DVD.
We fucking miss you Howard, your vocals are second to none
Not many people in this life that I envy, but I envy everyone who was at this live show, you witnessed something magical!
FUCK. For real, I hate myself for never seeing them live.
Seriously. I’ve never seen Killswitch live, unfortunately, but I’m more disappointed I never got to see them in the End of Heartache era. God dammit to go back in time and be at this show specifically…..
They played at the palladium again last year that performance was also incredible
@@bohemianqueen_it’s not too late!
I got goosebumps listening to this bad ass song!! Extraordinary talent!!
Howard Jones is a beast on the mic!
Barbie fox me too they are such great musicians
Same! You’ve got badass taste.
5 horsemen
1. Daylight Dies
2. This is Absolution
3. The Arms of Sorrow
4. Break The Silence
5. Reject Yourself
6. Fixation of Darkness
As good as Adam can scream, as much as he tries to be serious, he just can't help making people laugh. In a good way of course, he's just always awesome and hilarious.
2:35 LOL That grab
Howard Jones' voice can cure cancer I swear.
Howard’s voice just gets me. It’s haunting. He sounds so incredible live as well. Fucking legend!
True wish he never left 😔
He’s still rippin with his new band light the torch. Which i dig tf out of!
I always watch live videos of KSE cause of Howard's voice. That shit is angelical.
Howard Jones vocals are beyond amazing, i absolutely loved Killswitch Engage when he was with them, i replay these songs over and over just to hear that fire in his voice, his gift is unparalleled , i miss those days

***** I did.
lol literally just thought the same thing as I was watching this 😂
I bet Adam offered it because it'd give him something else to do.The dude cannot stand still
Guarantee there was no such convo lol.
@@snapascrew Prove it.
HOWARD. Voice is like the core of Metal and He Can Sing.
Killswitch Engage is the greatest metalcore band to ever exist. Period. They are superstars in a genre flooded with lame to mediocre bands. One of the only in their genre that can hold a candle to the all time greats of both hardcore and heavy metal music.
Rino Zisa Well Parkway Drive is obviously on the level too
Don't leave out ABR
first 2 parkway drive albums were produced by adam d. that dude alone is the talent behind both bands.@@333arceus9
God, that main riff is so fucking groovy and catchy!
SYNDICAIDRAMON at times they are the Modern Pantera in terms of groove
I miss Howard.
I think we all do man
Anyone notice at 2:34 that awesome assist on the hard symbol stop? That’s a truly awesome band
Yes sir, he also did it at 1:15
Adam did write and record the drums on the album so he knows exactly when the cymbal chokes happen
Goosebumps when the crowd sings. F-ing LOVE THIS BAND!!!!
3:13 You gotta get that workout in...
Dam, I love Howards voice.
this has to be my favorite performance of this song, hands down.
Possibility the greatest metal song of all time.
I don't know, dude. All of their Howard Jones era songs were amazing. 😩 🤟
Thank you for all the support!
Your vocals are legendary my dude, thanks for giving me so many bangers to mosh to :)
Absolutely awesome DVD this was and still is! My mother is 72 and came with me to see KSE recently before covid hit in the UK.
She loves your vocals Howard and is probably more in tune with the current music scene than I am (her son! Lol)
Come to the UK with Light The Torch and I swear we will be there to see you perform!!!!
Your a legend in our household!!! Love the fact you have been doing appearances with KSE in early 2022!! Still sounding amazing dude 🤘🤘
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND HIMSELF!!!
The chorus just unbelievable..love it..
When music gives you goosebumps it’s a sign saying you are special
Best chorus I’ve heard. Any other song like this one ? 🥺
I agree this is one of the most beautiful choruses I have ever heard. The Element Of One is also another very good one in my opinion. Here a link to a good quality performance (same concert as the video we are commenting on) ruclips.net/video/Aas2UgOo5Nc/видео.html The original (studio version) was of course sung by Jesse Leach tho, I think the studio version with jesse leach is just as good as the performance with Howard on vocals.

This is absolution
@@davidt323 yes
Still the most tight performance i've ever seen.
Still a banger! Miss you Howard
Thanks so much for this high quality!!
Howard was that got my black as into metal miss this guy
William Duvall of Alice In Chains is black, too. 😁🤟
My personal #1 favorite KILLSWITCH ENGAGE song
One of the best live performance .. never gets old ..
I'd give everything to be there. You can almost feel the energy just by watching this. The audience singing the chorus gives me chills.
Howard, come back!
The chorus of this song is amazing...
Probably one of the best live sets. So good. Welcome back Howard!
How many times i see killswitch in youtube and any flat form of social media still the best live ive ever seen....yeahhhh🤘🤘🤘
i do love it when u get 2 amazing singers in 1 band, everyone compares, i just enjoy each version, both different both amazing. just sit back and enjoy.
Damn straight man. I enjoy both, I just chill and love the music.
there's so much power in this song
He even sang it better than Jesse. Bash me but it is the truth.
jesse is super overrated im afraid, cant sing for shit
Joe Welsh You are delusional
Joe Welsh Jesse can sing & has an awesome voice too but his unclean vocals isn't that impressive like Howard.
They just have different way of singing and screaming but they have similarity which is both can scream and sing.
Jesse is awesome no doubt, but this is Howard's song!
I played this in the background late nights as I was gaming on RuneScape. The good ol’ days.
1:15 loved the way he helped his drummer fellow mate..
Kick ass music with 1 of my favorite singers! CUZ i give u all my respect Howard!!
2024 and still a masterpiece!!!
My favourite ever killswitch engage song, this is probably the best performance of any song I’ve ever seen. It honestly brings me to tears
I love Jessie and he sounds great! Howard is just another Monster though lol.
There was some crazy energy at their concerts.
Gives me chills liste in to the crowd that loud!
Howard, greatest vocalist in KSE. Adam with his antics on stage is a showman and can make people laugh, cry, throw fists up in the air and who can't do push-ups during the song is rare! This jam takes me back when I was 18 and how I would love to be in that crowd. It's crazy and so amazing!
No one could feel jessi shoes exempt Howard and no one could come close to Howard but Jessi like them both. Howard has more power and control to his voice.
Jd I finally some truth in the comments section of K.S.E videos. VERY well put in my opinion, word for word.
Very true neither is a downgrade nor upgrade. They are very different sounds but both are great and work in their own way . However in my opinion I have always enjoyed Howard’s sound more but leech is great too that’s just a matter of preference
I agree
One of the Greatest Live ever recorded
DAMN HOWARD THAT VOCALS ARE ANOTHER LEVEL FOR REAL
Man I fucking playing this 6 times straight. I feel so pumped up. Howard Jones with killswitch engage brings positive message to all of us.
Killswitch never disappoints Live !!
The Chorus is beautiful 😍
It's still their greatest gig they ever did
I’ve been watching this video for ten years and :48 still makes me laugh out loud
This is just beautiful 🔥🔥
This was my jam back in 04' 05' #Memories
HOWARD. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The muting and speed of the noise gate is just smashing this spectacular performance to a studio quality even live. Like a honed edge this shit is tight!
Man...i miss howard...his vocals are awsome!!
This lead singer is better than the one now
Crowd is f'n amazing
Howard murders on this song! I miss him :(
Best live performance form any band in the history of music
Piel de gallina con Howard y ese estribillo!
Cracks me up when Adam walks over to Howard towards the end around 3:35 and makes him laugh and break character/ singing 😂😂😂
Adam's scream is so amaziiiinngg!!!
Howard your Amazing as Always!!! ❤😘
I saw them long time ago warp tour in va they sound just like this live all day best band ever
Isso sim e a verdadeira formação da Killswitch Engage !!
Awesome live performance
That pinch harmonics from KSE is always on another level 🔥🔥
Hell of a show 👏
That pinch harmonics 😎❤ i love the guitar pinch harmonics riffs
PEAK! 3 am blasting full volume.
Siiiick!!!
Howards voice is so unparalleled, its like an orchestra in one voice
Anyone here in 2023 for this masterpiece?????
2024
Still an awesome performance all these years later. Anyone here in 2022 following Howard’s guest appearances with KSE in February and March with Jesse and the rest of the band?? Guy is 51 now and still sounds as amazing as he ever did. I bet a part of Howard Jones regrets leaving but I know he was in a bad place at the time and his health had to come first!!! Come to the UK Howard with Light The Torch please 🙏
I would love it if Howard Jones did a song or concert with Corey Taylor and Travis Barker
This was when Killswitch was on top of the world!
3:17 Pure goosebumps...
Amazing
This is easily my all time favorite killswitch song! Even better live with Howard!
chorus
