If you're reading this then you're here for the same reason as me. I'm very sad but will remember him as the legend he was. Forever a legend for his contributions to metal
Yep, I came here to say RIP Mike. I'm from WA state and watched them from the beginning and can't beleive they lost another lead singer, David was hard enough to lose. Thanks for posting.......
Blasting this from my speakers hoping he's looking down smiling, knowing whatever battles he faced were not worth what he did... never forget to talk to someone and express yourself r.i.p
Goddamn he still sounded great! To sing that set at his age with such precision is simply amazing. Badlands... What a showman during the bridge section to the solo. Rest in peace, Mike. Your voice will never be forgotten.
I'm literally crying over the HUGE loss of Mike Howe 💔 Rest In Power! Thank you for being a pioneer and performing for so many decades. Your voice/music will Live On Forever 🥺
Mike Howe has the right amount of dirt and aggression in the voice. The pressure is right and the dynamics fit. Vocal range is exorbitant. Stage presence and interaction with band and audience is perfect. Hats off!
Yes most metal vocals change -not usually for the better but Mike's voice is just frozen in time. I was so happy when it was announced he was back in the band.
Living by the numbers. Such a great song. In the video Mike truly looked like a wall street guy who was sick of the Rat Race of Capitalism. Great video. Kudos to all The guys in Metal Church. Rat pack records & My Prayers for Mike Howe, His Family, Friends, and His Awesome Bandmates.
It's mind-blowing to me that this man could sing a song like "In Mourning" and take his own life. You just never know what lies deep in anyone's soul and what kind of pain could prompt an act like this.
I think he may have felt likethe 'kids" in the song at some point in his life. I also heard he had gotten a divorce so who knows what was goin on.... RIP MH
RIP Mike Howe of Metal Church. Exceptional vocalist, my condolences to familaires and friends, your legacy will remain, thank you so much for everything Master Mike hoWE, rest in peace!
I saw the band in July 2019 in Germany in a small club, capacity maximum 1000 people, the mood was very good from the beginning it's due to Mike Howe, a charismatic singer with a unique voice in hard rock/heavy metal. We should never forget that. A great human died to early. R.I.P
I was seriously shocked to hear Mike had passed. I came hear to remember Mike at his best and what he truly loved to do. I was truly excited when he came back to sing for Metal Church. He was a true Metal Church God and a very underrated Vocalist. R.I.P Mike, I’ll always remember the impact you made on me.
This iteration of Metal Church came ALL the way back before Mike died and for that I salute them. This story did have a happy ending even though he passed far too soon.
I am glad for things like this. At least we still have Mike in some small way though his talent and body of work. If you need to talk, reach out, call someone, tell them you are in crisis for fucks sake, don't just assume nobody cares or doesn't need you. There will never be another "you". You are not replaceable...
This is so hard to watch. I am nearly in tears. In the aftermath... some of his lyrics sure hit differently. Whatever battles he was fighting... I wish we could have been there, swords in hand alongside him. RIP, Mike. Thanks for being amazing!
many of his singings were so up and wonderfull even watching his performance can never , think he would or could do this to his fans i have followed this bunch from ship of fools this is my favorite band
Gran tristeza, que en paz descanse Mike!!! excelente voz, glorioso regreso a Metal Church, grandes discos, todo un carácter y gran talento musical, nuestras condolencias desde Argentina, te extrañaremos Mike!!!
My friend brought a bootleg cassette of The Human Factor back from a holiday in Bulgaria. Never looked back. Respect to Mike Howe; massively underrated...
Much love to Metal Church and RIP Mike Howe. Great band. Have loved them since watching watch the children pray on MTV headbangers ball early 80's! Best days. Some of the best metal music ever. Keep rocking guys. Rochester-NY
It' so easy to hate on the biggest metal band in the World. But as with many big things, the bigger the band the more idiots know it. In this case, Metallica is unmatched in thrash metal. This, however is not thrash metal, as many stated before.
Metal Church will never be the same without Mike Howe. An Amazing set here and the guy just nails every song. His legacy is cemented with Metal Church among the best of the best.
Only David Wayne and Mike Howe could lead “Metal Church” without any of them as a singer M.C. is not M.C., since David Wayne has passed away only Mike can lead this great band, thank you very much Mike for coming back to the band.
@@MrGuitarshred777 i disagree with that statement, obviously Metal Church’s greatest albums are “metal church, the dark and Human factor (my favorite)”
R.I.P. Mike Howe, we will miss you. Thx for all metal you made.
Yes we do.....
And RIP David Wayne too
David Wayne & Mike Howe [ Forever Metal Church] 🤘🤘🙏🙏
He was the true metal church vocalist
And now Kirk Arrington.
If you're reading this then you're here for the same reason as me. I'm very sad but will remember him as the legend he was. Forever a legend for his contributions to metal
I’m so devistated!! I just wanna push the button to reset!!
LEGENDS NEVER DIE !!!!! Mike lives on in our Hearts, Thoughts.and his music.. FOREVER ..

Rest In Power!! We lost a true Brother in Metal today. Mike was such a fun human being.
Perfect term “ rest in power “….
RIP Mike Howe. I was shocked of the news last night. Been a fan since the 80's. Thank you for the sounds of metal.
It is shocking, it seems like they were firing on all cylinders.
The voice & energy that Mike Howe brought to the table was so incredibly underrated. Love to his family, friends, & bandmates. ❤🙏
sad day today...Mike HOWE passed away! He will always remain in our hearts with the music he made.
Goddamn he still sounded great! To sing that set at his age with such precision is simply amazing. Badlands... What a showman during the bridge section to the solo. Rest in peace, Mike. Your voice will never be forgotten.
I never really knew how much Mike sounds like Midnight from Crimson Glory.. RIP Mike..
@@crimsonskies1445 Very true, I never put that together. Midnights voice was one of a kind!
Wherever Mike is right now, I hope He is out of pain and resting in peace! 🤘
I'm literally crying over the HUGE loss of Mike Howe 💔 Rest In Power! Thank you for being a pioneer and performing for so many decades. Your voice/music will Live On Forever 🥺
Metal church are a brilliant metal band, listen to their very first album just called metal church one of the best thrash/metal albums ever released
One of my favorites
@@jgmopar True Big Four members
Kick ass....true metal band
Metal Church- Metal Church is Wicked
Metal Church: The only church!!!
Mike Howe has the right amount of dirt and aggression in the voice. The pressure is right and the dynamics fit. Vocal range is exorbitant. Stage presence and interaction with band and audience is perfect. Hats off!
well said...
God I love metal church ...fuck yeah
Oh fuck he died today.. That hits different
In Mourning.....rest in peace Mike...Godspeed
James Hetfield used to have that dirt, and aggression in his voice back in the 80's .
Very talented band, but very underrated. Mike Howe has an incredible voice that sents chills down your spine.
Yes most metal vocals change -not usually for the better but Mike's voice is just frozen in time. I was so happy when it was announced he was back in the band.
Agreed!

Mike slays this set. Perfect pitch and chops all the way through. One of my favorite metal vocalist. Rest in power.
Made me strong, it was my therapy to fight through the depression/ anxiety teens. I’m Gene X, proudly. We’re not the same.

Mike Howe sounds like his vocal chords are made of pure steel - awesome!
Mike forever!
@@toni.tapola sadly not rip
Vocal cords - 2 bands of smooth muscle tissue found in the voice box
Chord - a combination of three or more tones sounded simultaneously
@@martymartin2894 Yeah... 😢

We'll miss you so much but never forget R.İ.P
In all honesty, this band blows Metallica away by a long shot. I listen to their first album over and over for many years.
Without a doubt!
This means nothing. Metal Church and Metallica are way too different to compare in this idiot way.
@@sebastiantonini1895 Exactly. Heavy Metal compared to Thrash Metal. Totally different genres, bands and compositions.
@@bowelrupture - Metal Church is awesome. Metallica… once was.
It' so easy to hate on the biggest metal band in the World. But as with many big things, the bigger the band the more idiots know it. In this case, Metallica is unmatched in thrash metal. This, however is not thrash metal, as many stated before.
RIP Mike
RIP Mike...
I saw " Metal Church " open for " Metallica " at the " Felt Forum" in Nyc. " Metal Church" Was the Better Band that evening in 1985/ 1986.🤘🤘🤘🤘
R.I.P. Mike Howe, metal legends forever!
R.I.P. Mike Howe 😔🤘
Metal Church! Eine unglaubliche Band mit geilen Songs!
RIP MIKE HOWE
R.I.P. Mike Howe!!!!!!!!!!!
Metal Church will never be the same without Mike Howe. An Amazing set here and the guy just nails every song. His legacy is cemented with Metal Church among the best of the best.
I totally agree with you. Does anyone know if Metal Church will continue with a new lead singer or not? RIP Mike Howe. Big loss of a talent.
@@markkrispin6944 been wondering the same about them continuing with a new singer . Mike Howe was awesome , love metal church since the 80s . Sucks.
Only David Wayne and Mike Howe could lead “Metal Church” without any of them as a singer M.C. is not M.C., since David Wayne has passed away only Mike can lead this great band, thank you very much Mike for coming back to the band.
R.I.P. David Wayne and Mike Howe both were the best singers Metal Church had period
RONNY MONROE by far was their best vocalist
@@MrGuitarshred777 i disagree with that statement, obviously Metal Church’s greatest albums are “metal church, the dark and Human factor (my favorite)”
Rest in Power
RIP Mike Howe😞
God Bless you Mike and and David 🙏🙏🤘🤘❤️❤️ Love Metal Church 🤘 🎸 🎸 Best band ever🤘🤘❤️❤️
The 1 & only voice of Metal Church. RIP Brother.😪😪😪🤘🤘🤘
