I gotta say as a guitarist myself and I love playing some Killswitch Engaged I really like playing the guitar break down during the song "End Of Heartache "..such a killer breakdown and fun as hell to play on guitar
Love KSE!! Just wish I had found them sooner. First heard them 5 years ago at the ripe young age of 53 and have seen them live now twice and they absolutely bring it!! Will never miss a show of theirs anywhere within 6 hours of me!
I really like the questions you asked. You made the most of the time you had while not asking the same generic questions he’s answered probably a million times. Definitely feels like you’re a fan of Killswitch and did some research to compile the best questions you could. Some things in here I’ve been wondering for years. Awesome interview!
If Light The Torch would open for Killswitch I might just have to follow the tour around the country. Also, Self titled (2009) has some amazing deep, dark songs that make you feel pain and anguish. Sometimes that's what we need to open us up and let out the sadness.
Me too. I bought a brand new car last year. A 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. I didn’t realize until my wife and I took it off the lot (meanwhile grabbing my cd book) that it didn’t have a fucking CD player!!! Worst day of my life lol 😂
I discovered Killswitch in 2003. I got a demo cd at Ozzfest and after hearing "Fixation on the darkness". I went out and bought the disc, literally played it till I wore it out, replaced it and bought everything they had available. I still consider them one of my favorite bands. I am a Howard Jones fan, his voice is amazing. But Jesse is also an amazing singer. They're sound, their energy, it's all still there, bringing on an equally talented singer did not diminish anything as far as quality music is concerned. Adam D is the man!!!
The reason why they are so good is 1. song writing and 2. vocal ability of both Howard and Jesse and the the vocals always mesh so well with their instruments' sounds. It's not luck at all but really their dedication and also talent which I suppose you could consider talent as luck. The biggest thing that drew me in was the sonic atmosphere in their songs. Some metal bands sound very generic and cold whereas killswitch songs sound unique and warm.
I'm watching it again 'cause it's one of the best interview related to KSE. Great job man I forgot a lots of things about the back surgery, the price is right etc (that was a funny story BTW). Wish I can meet the guys someday I have a lots of things to say.
Jesses screaming was always superior to Howards and the cleans are just a matter of personal taste. Jesse didn't need to improve anything lol. Literally learned how to scream myself as a teen along to Jesse. His banshee sounding highs are unmatched. Howards screaming just lacks something.
Great interview dude! I can tell you were excited for it haha but that was fun to watch just like their shows! Thanks for sharing, I felt like I was there, great questions.
Light the torch open for Killswitch in FEQ in Québec city, witch open for Slipknot as well for the interested. Can’t wait to see if Howard sing a couple song with Killswitch!!
Kse is so fucking good. First time I heard numbered days . My fucking mind blew. So much power , positive energy , relatable lyrics their and amazing musicianship. Top favorite band ❤ adam and Joel are beast. Love howard and Jesse
I know I’m late to this but I was at the iron maiden gig. Maiden and KSI were for me equal billing and when Howard came on there was a small group of us going nuts but the rest of the crowd stood and watched with hardly any reaction. It was pretty tuff to see a band you love get such a disappointing reaction to a moment of such significance. It was still an awesome gig and one I’ll never forget!
Bands that had 2 different lead singers (besides Van Halen) that he can't think of: Black Sabbath Savatage AC/DC Deep Purple Nightwish Alice in Chains Arch Enemy Queensryche Fates Warning Redemption Symphony X Iced Earth Anthrax Dream Theater Judas Priest Iron Maiden
In my opinion, I guess some of these are totally different situations - Symphony X and Dream Theater for example, they switched singers like way before they had a huge fanbase. But some are good examples, like Nightwish.
It's always strange to hear them dissing the 2009 album when it was actually not only pretty damn good, but also the best performance in Howard's career, easily, the most intence and probably the most honest album. It reminds me of "Dirt" by Alice in Chains - one of the most raw and honest records in rock music. You could feel the nerve and depression Howard was going throug on their 2009 record and that's what makes this album so damb memorable and striking.
Of their catalogue, I personally don’t rank it very high but I still like the album. I can’t even pinpoint what it is that makes me prefer the other albums, it just felt less punchy and the songs didn’t feel as memorable as others. They get like songs that I wouldn’t really go back to listen to as often but that might just be subjective.
I was at "FEQ Slipknot's concert" on last monday (July 8th) 2019. Howard and Jesse sang together on one song; amazing how Jesse reached low clean notes! I got excited by Adam guitar play style and talent, with a speech by Jesse encouraging amateur musicians (like me) to keep playing.. There I am trying to learn Take this oath on the guitar, someday I will play a KSE song haha! KSE represent Quebec
Another great Adam quote: "They can call us whatever the hell they want they can call us Assholes if they want" :D I was cracking up at that, such drole humour we need to start writing these down.
One of my favourite phrases is ’opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one but not everyone wants to hear yours’ hearing Adam talk about arseholes reminded me of that.
He got sent home for 2 nights for vacation 😂😂 in all seriousness though I've only known arms of sorrow nearly my whole life and I heard Always for the first time last week and I'm suddenly obsessed with Killswitch Engage now lol 💕
Damn this is a surprisingly good interviewer. He's just relaxed and asked really good questions. How is it that he's on an independent channel and that awkward ass Graham Hartman is on loudwire?
Adam and Mike both are now on record pretty much saying they don’t like that album at all. It’s kinda crazy but I feel like the reason is more of the behind the scenes turmoil going on at the time.
That's so cool! Me and Adam have the same opinion about the 2009 self titled album I felt like it was just forced and wasn't there greatest material, sure there were some good songs but they could have done better like the other albums he produced
@Ewolf5150 same here had to listen to it over time for me to really get into it cuz the first time hearing it was like "damn this is kind of unusual sound for them" especially after daylights dies I believe
Nearly a year later and there are cell phone videos peppering the internet over the last week or so of Howard singing End of Heartache in Clevelend. If you haven't watched it yet, go for it. The crowd was extremely into it and they all looked like they were having a blast. I've always preferred Jesse over Howard from a lyrical standpoint but I still respect the Hell out of Howard and the albums he did with KsE. Those albums helped me through some dark times in my life so I will always be thankful for that. \- - /_
My number one question for Adam. How many circles can you run before you're too dizzy to play? Question two, how the hell do you have that much energy at the end of a set? Much respect
Yeah AC/DC was THE first band to come to mind. Much more than anyone else. Me and my friends always said these guys done an AC/DC and are the only guys to do it successfully like them
@Joseph Aspey: Iron Maiden shouldn’t count. When Paul Di’Anno was in the band they weren’t that successful; and in the 90s the weren’t that successful when Blaze Bailey was in the band. They only play clubs when both were in the band. Bruce is the only successful singer they’ve had.
Adam indeed is a guitar and more so a creative riff writing god! I don't know that I consider Killswitch 'metalcore' ...I'm kinda inline with just a metal band! Great conversation here, though!
Laughing..., the album Adam doesn’t like, and it’s my favorite! I know HJ was going through some stuff at the time, and maybe it was hard to put together, but the songs are awesome!
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
As Daylight Dies is still my favorite. Just brutal and beautiful.
I second that
Same
I gotta say as a guitarist myself and I love playing some Killswitch Engaged I really like playing the guitar break down during the song "End Of Heartache "..such a killer breakdown and fun as hell to play on guitar
Break the Silence still gets me. Amazing
He's a genius. Guitarist/drums/singer/producer. He KNOWS music
Adam D is such a cool dude and amazing producer. I'll always support his work
Thanks for watching!
Daniel Seale he’s a metal God can sing, scream, play every instrument and produces. He is metal.
@@GamerkillahBlaze He is flesh and bluurd!
Adam works out at my gym.. He's totally cool in person.
Doug Cronkhite cool story bruh
That's cool! thanks for watching!
What city is this?
San Diego right?
VideInfra Yep!
KSE selftitled 2009 was a good album tho.
I wish we can hear "Save Me" sometimes
Me too! thanks for watching!
Last time I saw them, like 2 years ago, they played The Reckoning. That's still one of my favorite Killswitch songs.
For real. I love that album. The Return gives me goosebumps still to this day.
Starting over is top notch
@@rickcaikauskas6277 thats awesome. Wish we can hear more songs of this album
Ur the luckiest human being on earth to interview him. And great question with the self titled album!!!!
Lol it was an awesome experience and I am very grateful. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Props on this interview. Genuine fan to musician connection and excitement. I think Adam really enjoyed this interview as well.
yeah it felt so natural.. one of the best interviews i've watched loved every second of it
Love KSE!! Just wish I had found them sooner. First heard them 5 years ago at the ripe young age of 53 and have seen them live now twice and they absolutely bring it!! Will never miss a show of theirs anywhere within 6 hours of me!
For the record I am an Iron Maiden fan and I absolutely lost my shit when Howard came on stage for End of Hearthache!
Matt Robbins who cares
@@richardfarnie3830 why you a dick? 😂
Iron Maiden what? Who cares.
KSE and Light the Torch tour...epic!
LostOne that would be very epic, thanks for watching!

Lost is an amazing deep and made me understand the despair I felt when I was dealing w my moms passing in 08 I first heard lost and was like yep
i believe they were suppose to tour together the covid happened
@@AtLeastImNotLiberal shit made me cry when my mom died back in July 2020.
Well boy do I have some news for you lol
Just saw their show in Columbus. Howard did come out and sing with KSE and it was AWESOME. SOOOOO good.
I still buy CDs
Me too, man.
As do I. In fact, I just recently hit 850.
stop
Same. Proud of it.
Me too. I bought a brand new car last year. A 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. I didn’t realize until my wife and I took it off the lot (meanwhile grabbing my cd book) that it didn’t have a fucking CD player!!! Worst day of my life lol 😂
This was a fun vibe. Good job on the interview 👍 Adam is super chill and honest.
Adam D is priceless. Protect this asset
You sound exactly like Walter Jr. from Breaking Bad
Daan Hoes yo, you’re right! He’s just missing the crutches!
Honestly, I've been told I look like him a couple of times lol
Haha!!
Hahaha I thought the same thing! Like Walter Jr after some speech therapy lol cool interview though
I was going to comment that and as I scrolled down this was the first comment I saw lol
Great interview, I admit I was expecting way less. But those were great questions, really dig it.
Hey thanks for watching!
Adam D representing Massachusetts with that 28-3 hat. Love the loyalty to our hometown. Even wearing it in the signal fire video

Funny thing is, I absolutely love the self titled album. I think it’s insanely good.
Nice interview, filled in some unknowns Kudos!
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching.
I love how honest this dude is.
Dude, nice interview. You asked pretty much what many fans would... greetings from Brazil
Great stuff dude. I actually seen this Price is Right when it came on. I freaked when I seen Adam and he fucking won. Crazy.

Adam D. seems to be a really down to Earth and genuine guy. His Beliefs shine through in their lyrics🙏🏻💪🏻
Cool interview man. Keep it up. Love KSE and Adam. Cool dude that is sooo down to earth. Id have a beer or 12 with him!!!
Lol thanks for watching!
Dude 2009 is like one of my favorite killswitch records what the frick
All of them are among my favorite albums ever
Damn I didn’t realize they didn’t like the 2009 album, it’s one of my favourites
ditto save me was sick
It's definitely not their best
Starting over is one of my fav songs. Wasn't a complete waste.
Agreed. That is a great song. When he said it wasn't their best work that was the first song I thought of.
Adam is the best! Such a unassuming and good hearted guy
I'm watching it again 'cause it's one of the best interview related to KSE. Great job man I forgot a lots of things about the back surgery, the price is right etc (that was a funny story BTW).
Wish I can meet the guys someday I have a lots of things to say.
Le_Poney_Posey thank you for watching... again lol

great interview we enjoyed it....
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Epic interview! First time in your channel, Adam D is awesome.
Thank you for checking out my channel and for watching, make sure to subscribe!
great interview man, you seem to pull out a lot of charisma from him
I prefer KSE with Howard. Although Jessie has definitely improved his singing and screaming since coming back so I cant complain too much.
Jesse still sounds horrible in live performance he's good but Howard is much better
I like Jesse but Howard is one of a kind
Jesses screaming was always superior to Howards and the cleans are just a matter of personal taste. Jesse didn't need to improve anything lol. Literally learned how to scream myself as a teen along to Jesse. His banshee sounding highs are unmatched. Howards screaming just lacks something.

@@davi.abrantes so 14 out of 16 are good examples...?
Wow I forgot about fates warning

How do you not have more subs, but have interviews with KSE and all that remains?! (Watching that one next) two of my top 5 bands
Zach Henderson thanks for watching man!
Another great Adam quote: "They can call us whatever the hell they want they can call us Assholes if they want" :D I was cracking up at that, such drole humour we need to start writing these down.
One of my favourite phrases is ’opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one but not everyone wants to hear yours’ hearing Adam talk about arseholes reminded me of that.
One of my fav interviews of Adam. You were able to get good answers out of him and not just “agghhh I dunno man” 🤣🤣. ❤️
This was awesome! Nice man!
thanks man
KsE 2009 is a great album. It took me some seven years to realize that but I found out there are some really good tracks there.
uh oh is howard gunna be singing on the atonment tour... light the torch is opening got my ticket for the first show in Cleveland so stoked
First time in your channel and you give me a interview with Adam fucking Dutkiewicz!! Thanks dude! Keep that good work.
hugs from brazil!
That's awesome! Thanks for the love.
Congrats on 100 Subs man! =D keep them coming!
Thank you man!
Save me, lost . Awesome album
Can we just talk about how Howard still carried KSE II though
Great questions bro
Oh there's more than just your parents rocking out to you Adam bro !
adam really talked to this kid with respect.. I just wanted to take a moment to say that.
No matter what you think of their music or Adam’s onstage antics - the guy is all class!
He got sent home for 2 nights for vacation 😂😂 in all seriousness though I've only known arms of sorrow nearly my whole life and I heard Always for the first time last week and I'm suddenly obsessed with Killswitch Engage now lol 💕
Such a chill dude
He was indeed! thanks for watching!
Adams shirt is amazing
Thanks!
That's surprising, I really liked their 09 Self Titled album. One of my favorite.
Damn this is a surprisingly good interviewer. He's just relaxed and asked really good questions.
How is it that he's on an independent channel and that awkward ass Graham Hartman is on loudwire?
That guy on loudwire is cringe
is this a joke? lol
This guy here is great but I will say Graham did an exceptional job navigating the Gene Simmons interview
Adam is a badass I love him for keeping it real
Nice interview man

5:52 "I know you've produced a few things"...
Yeah. Alive And Just Breathing. Personally, one of my all time favorite albums ever.
I remember buying the CDsfor As daylight dies and the self titled album 😭😭😂😂
I WANT ADAM'S SHIRT
I saw the design on Qwertee, you can vote on it for it to get made
I need that shirt Adam's wearing asap
I saw the design on Qwertee, you can vote on it for it to get made
5:00 That's weird their 2009 album probably has some of the most playthroughs for me
Adam and Mike both are now on record pretty much saying they don’t like that album at all. It’s kinda crazy but I feel like the reason is more of the behind the scenes turmoil going on at the time.
@@justinsayswtf I just listened to some of it this morning actually 😂
Awesome
Thank you for watching!
These guys revolutionized metal song structure -
I saw them in 2010 with Phil one of the show I've every seen.
Killswitch's 2009 is really cool... I love it. From the beginning to the end. It's dark and deep.
That's so cool! Me and Adam have the same opinion about the 2009 self titled album I felt like it was just forced and wasn't there greatest material, sure there were some good songs but they could have done better like the other albums he produced
Hard to follow daylight dies though
@@R3adybreck you mean it's hard to make another album like or as good as as daylight dies?
Only one or two songs from the 2009 self titled was good
@Ewolf5150 same here had to listen to it over time for me to really get into it cuz the first time hearing it was like "damn this is kind of unusual sound for them" especially after daylights dies I believe

Yes he is a guitar band
Where can I get Adam's shirt?
Van halen for sure, but ac/dc my dudes. Different circumstance sure, but still damn good. All that aside, great interview and thanks adam d. KSE!!!
My number one question for Adam. How many circles can you run before you're too dizzy to play? Question two, how the hell do you have that much energy at the end of a set? Much respect
Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Black Sabbath were all successful with 2 or more singers
Yes that is right, at the moment my mind was kinda going crazy so I couldnt really think of any more. Thanks for watching!
Yeah AC/DC was THE first band to come to mind. Much more than anyone else. Me and my friends always said these guys done an AC/DC and are the only guys to do it successfully like them

Bring back the sideburns 🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️

Same here. Every week I go pick up 4 new ones for the collection.
CDs nuts
Same, when a new album comes out i always buy the cd and go for a long drive and just blast the music
That's so cool, I'm kinda that way with vinyl but i pick up 1 every few weeks.
Adam D cool as fuck.. funniest guy ever in the heavy metal scene.
