Shoutout ENDWELL! One of my all time favorites and best guys. My first band played w/ Emmure back in 09 and it was a really odd lineup. Motionless In White and The Ready Set? (Think they were called that). It was at Eleanor Rigby's in Scranton/Carbondale, PA. I believe you guys had just dropped Felony. Really enjoying hearing the origin stories man. Be well!
I think it's harder today to find like 4 or 5 guys with the same vision, sleep in vans, etc. Glad you guys all had the same motivation and made it happen. Waiting for part 3!
I had a friend who was always trying to get me to go see you guys in Waterbury CT. Then I met Frankie and I think you at brass city tattoo shortly after you guys signed to victory. You could tell how excited you guys were. Very cool to hear how everything went up to that point.
Hey Jesse, this is my first time commenting on your channel but I’ve been watching every video you put out. I’ve been an Emmure fan since forever so I really appreciate what you are doing here on RUclips. Please keep it up, love the playthroughs but especially loving these history videos right now, thank you.
"Passing out my fucking demo for free Passing fliers when it's 20 degrees To promote my show That's some shit you knew, just will never fucking know" 💯 Love this content man! Still got the Emmure behind the scenes of Eternal Enemies, the ending of that dvd felt like that was the ending of that true Emmure era
Haha fuck yeah! Did a showcase in the same place back in 2009. We couldn’t hack it but fuck it we gave it our best shot. This brought back some memories that were long lost. Thank you for that! Haha
Glad it all worked out for y’all! Surreal type feeling I bet! Chicago’s finest has been on repeat only because my 2 1/2 year old wants to listen to the song! Haha
This is awesome man. Glad you did this. Was always a huge fan since the inception. Unfortunate with everything that happened, but you guys all had a huge impact on the scene during that period. People can say what they want, but you set the stage for a particular style of metalcore that still exists to this day.
I want Josh Travis to be in Emmure for sure but if there's one person I wish would return to the band, it's you for sure. I think you and Josh would be a pretty rad guitar team actually. I hope their new album is a mix between look at yourself and slave to the game. I love all your guitars and gear you use, you got great taste.
I worked at the chance Theater in poughkeepsie from 2008 till 2 years ago and did lights for you guys a ton of times and both Jesse and Frankie were always super awesome. I can remember asking you about your RGD with the yankee logo and you took the time to show it to me. Emmures been a big part of me getting into 7 strings and low tunings for sure.
Damn I love these videos. I've been straight nerding out 😂 thank you for everything you've done Jesse. You have been a huge inspiration to me and my playing.
It was cool meeting you twice in 2009, so many bands I’ve been fans of, but not many rockstars I can say I’ve actually hung out and chatted with. Guitar nerds can be complete strangers and have the most intense gear conversations. Your tone has always been one of the most inspirational for me, not just because we met and talked rigs. You came from the same nu metal influences as me, and you showed me how to take those to the next level. You guys were like Tü Metal (nü metal 2)
as always, thank you for sharing parts of this amazing story, i would like to ask some of the context behind the album names and maybe some (not all) of the titles of the tracks for the next vid? i was always curious why they were named like that, anyways, thank u jesse!
I love these. That went by way too fast I need more!! That’s definitely the grind though! Some of these young’ns don’t know haha. We actually saw Frankie recently while we were on tour in Europe at Jera On Air festival. Wild to randomly see him there. Anyways, can’t wait for the next part!
bro, I went to chicago on tour once and slept in the van in a real bad area, all coked out freezing balls. People legit look into your van at night, and had multiple people fucking around and staring at us, having arguments, and just hanging around. keep in mind this is like 3, 4 am and we have to wake up early enough to move the van for street sweeping and shit. prior to that, had people jump onto our trailer while we were at stopped at an intersection in a hood. we ran that light, shit was sketchy
Would love to know more about your experience working with victory and if any off the “horror” stories are true. Would also love to know at what point you all became financially stable
I love these stories dude. You were an inspiration to me, musically. Your riffs changed the game in the “core” scene. Why did you end up leaving Emmure? Was it creative differences?
Thanks tons! Yes just differences in opinion and so much time spent elbow to elbow touring the world most of the year, than working on new material, than recording and its a lot to be together non stop if you have difference in opinions!
@@jessekjamz Do you have any plans or desire to start a new band that could end up on the level of Emmure in terms of success and touring schedule? Or have you kind of got your fill of that life and are just taking it easy with new projects? I imagine living on the road constantly for 10 plus years got exhausting after a while.
Shoutout to SONY & The owner of VICTORY records. Two of my favorite fuckin labels. Emmure is integral to the 2000's deathcore scene. Still integral today.

Great to hear stories from the early days. I seen you guys on warp tour 2010 in san Antonio Texas. Been a fan for like 17 yrs. Keep grinding brother.
Love the history and such a great story bro !
Enjoying these story videos. Always interesting to look a bit behind the curtain. People putting in work and achieving greatness.
Incredible videos. Please keep them coming Jesse.

Miss ya Jesse!!! Much love from the Twins 718 !!!!!
Ayy man miss yoi guys TONS! The real beginnings!
Dude I’m so excited for this story to continue
Can’t wait for part 3!!

Man I wish I could answer that! Frankie was the one to name the songs, the album titles and all lyrics. The guru!🎉

Love these behind the scenes type videos. Would you ever do a video discussing your final days in Emmure? Or your relationship with frank?
I think based on all the comments I will have to do a part 3, than part 4 about the end and where it all stands etc🎉
@@jessekjamz sweet! Looking forward to the rest 🙏

Keep these stories up Jesse.

Was that old video of y'all playing showcase that trip your talking about in Cali ? Legendary
Yess! I do think that was that same timeframe we got on that show!🎉

I keep bugging but last words to rose and grave markings would be pimpin since pimpin been pimpin
I miss you being in Emmure, when I go to the shows now a days I think it's weird as a 4 piece...
Still want a Dry Ice play though lol
I wish man. Wrote it almost 20 years ago…recorded it…and never played it again so I would have to relearn the whole thing lol
I can picture the scene of you hearing the sony guy at the deli
Way back in the day when i was like 19 or 20, i pumped your gas at wawa in new jersey and i was such an awkward twerp xD
❤
❤🎉
I miss the aura and playing you brought to emmure to be honest.
That personal showcase Tony put on sounded super awkward.
