      Zenith I think he’ll dig the lyrics and music a lot but I really want to hear what he thinks of Howard’s vocals and how they differed from Jesse. I’ve said before that they both brought two different styles to the band but neither changed what KSE was and are. I love and respect KSE as a whole and I’m stoked that Alex is reacting to them.

    • @darthaelris2059

    • @Mantis.Sartinoli
      @Mantis.Sartinoli 6 лет назад +1

      yeah, it's the next logical step! I personally prefer Jesse over Howard but not for much, Howard is a beast! IDK, there's something about Jesse's voice that makes you feel what he feels...Another idea could be having Alex react to Days of Grace since "Hymn of a broken man" is practically another KSE album (and a very good one)...

    You already react Killswitch Engage with Jesse, now you should react Killswitch Engage with Howard Jones on vocals. Songs like The End Of Heartache, In The Arms Of Sorrow, This Is Absolution, My Curse and Rose Of Sharyn. This are the songs that makes KsE the king of metalcore

      I second that... I love both KSE so to speak. What made it so great with the Howard era is that it sort of made KSE into two awesome metal bands.
      This second run with Jesse is really an evolution of the band and I've been a fan since early 2000 and I still consider them my overall favorite metal band.

    Now it's time to introduce you to Howard. Another amazing vocalist and nobody else could have substituted Jesse in his prolonged absence. Very nice guy too who sat and talked to my best friend who was months in recovery from a severe car on pedestrian accident. Held up the line just to talk to my friend and give him his well wishes and was so interested that he survived. Sucked for the rest of the people but made my friend's day. I suggest Rose of Sharyn or End of Heartache

    Metal, as in all music, makes you feel something that can only be expressed through angst. It's not about making others feel pain and suffering, its more to help (you as the listener) deal with your own in a way that only you can. Ever song has a different meaning for each person.

    • @hiiambarney4489
      @hiiambarney4489 3 года назад +1

      Beautifully said Chris!
      I feel though, Metal Songs, even though they appear superficial in sound really stick these emotions to you.
      Too bad corporations see Music as a sale enhancing background performance and people started to catch on to it a lot.
      There are INCREDIBLY strong songs still made every day, most of them will never be heard though, even if they could help them through their struggle.

    I love that you said that people who love Metal are open minded...because metal music has a bad rap sometimes...a lot of people see it as "the devil's music" or whatever...so it does take an open minded person to listen to metal and appreciate it. So thank YOU for being open to the genre!

    Watching you react to these videos reminds me of myself growing up to these songs. I appreciate your open mindedness to the genre and the emotion behind the tracks. The metal community is often misunderstood, so I thank you for giving the music an honest opportunity to speak for itself and understand truly what we stand for.
    Btw, you're getting dangerously close to no longer being a hip hop head, but a real Metal Head! We're glad to have you.

    This is the band (and song) that got me into the harder metal scene. Jesse Leach takes a lot of crap for his voice (which is silly, but lots prefer KsE other singer). He is a fantastic song writer. Nearly all of his lyrics are both meaningful and thought provoking.

    • @SabresGuy87
      @SabresGuy87 2 года назад +1

      His cleans were not good in first stint with KsE, but has gotten amazing in his return but Howard pushed KsE to new heights and his voice is so haunting and melodic and is just amazing, I love both and Signal Fire is a testament to that. My first song was this one but I grew up with Howard and I still can't listening to them with Jesse back cause their message is so amazing and it makes me happy everytime I hear them. KsE is my favorite band and it's not close for me

      TheKarret i know opeth is not metal core. Are you just trying to win an argument or trying to prove you're a metal geek and knows everything about every genre? Either ways you're just an immature fuck who got easily butt hurt just coz I "SUGGESTED" a genre. Lol the fact that you're so concerned with him listening to opeth in the near/far future and misunderstanding the genre when you don't even know if he will listen or not makes you so fucking jobless in life. What do you do? Work at McDonald's for 10 bucks a day? Go get a life lol..or just continue anal-ing your mom :)

    Loved your reaction to this one. Mls is still one of my favorite songs from killswitch. Just barely breathing and the element of one (personal fav) from that same album are exceptional as well. That whole album (Alive or Just Breathing) is a landmark Metalcore album. As always, looking forward to more metal reactions. Dope ass days to us all!

    So how that you have a lil taste of killswitch. You still have to get into the era of Howard. Dont get me wrong I love Jesse as the vocalist. Whether it be pre or post Howard. But Howard man....You have so much more to explore and fall in love with lol. So songs like My curse, or a light in a darkened world.

    This was the first song I ever heard from this band around when it came out I think and the year I got into band's like this. I was blown away, and had a similar reaction to it as you did. I always loved lyrics, and it does take an open mind to try to understand the songs and really feel it and the emotion that's put behind it and see the real meanings behind some of these songs. Another few good ones by this band are: Rose of Sharyn, and Starting Over (among others). Definately subbed after seeing these 2 reaction videos from you and I haven't even checked out the channel yet!

    Okay, a couple of things 1: God dude! how enthusiastic you are always makes me smile, so thanks for that. I love these react channels and seeing a new generation get amped up to this shit! 2: If you dig this kind of metal you really should check out Fear Factory...a good place to start is Self Bias Resister from the Demanufacture release in '95 3: No offence, but I would hate to see you in a pit (you don't seem like the type)...so you should definitely go get in a pit ;) 4: MINISTRY ('nuff said). always fun, thanks bro.

    If you find the time, please react to Architects. Songs like these colours don't run, the devil is near, gone with the wind and memento mori will definitely hit you deep.
