You absolutely have to be joking, right? Alive or Just Breathing was the last record KsE did before Howard came in, and it's one of the most important metal records of the millenium so far. They weren't anywhere near going extinct, Howard was joining a damn successful band. Hell, Jesse wrote the lyrics for this song.
leerobbo92 To be fair, they were pretty successful with Jesse/AOJB. That album put them on the map and helped them create a reputation. Once Howard came along with his first record with the band, they were nominated a Grammy and The End Of Heartache is still a hit. Both albums are one of the most important metal albums out there, or at least in metalcore. Jesse held up the band at the start then Howard sailed that ship to success after Jesse left. I love how they’re the only lead vocalist for the band. Any other wouldn’t do it for me.
FYI FCnewyork. Howard Jones is their second singer. The original singer was a white guy named Jesse Leach. He was the vocalist on the album version of My Last Serenade. He left the band due to severe throat problems and some personal issues. KSE became known to a wider audience after Howard joined the band. Old school KSE fans know the difference between the two but still know that both Jesse and Howard kick major ass.
Both are good and equal and have there own songs and style and voice unique incomparable but both epic this is there best album ever tho but my curse is my fav single
It's not hellfest and this isn't in 2004 either... Justin Foley (the new drummer) joined the band in 2003 alrdy and that's their former drummer in the video :D
@snapascrew correct on howard and correct on justin, but when exactly did gomes leave in 2003? i saw kse at ozzfest 2003 in raleigh, nc and gomes was in charge of beats.
You ever notice how Howard makes it looks like the easiest thing on the planet? Like he's just like okay cmon next, ya you liked that scream didn't you? Oh yeah here's a high ;D
@ColmIncendinall no fucking way! he looks a fucking lot like him! But I no. This was in 2004, Matt didn't have that amount of long hair. He had short hair during Ember to Inferno and most of Ascendancy. If he did have long hair it could be him;)
overall howard is just as good at screaming as jesse, but howard has more singing talent. but either way, jesse owns this song ,vocaly.. who agrees with me?
i started listening to KsE in 05 and i first heard my last serenade with howard on vocals (end of heartache bonus disc 2 has live from ToC) so thats why i prefer howard. i wouldnt listen to KsE if Jesse was there singer, i know im gonna get 31231293-0219 thumbs down but i just personally dont like how he sings or screams
jesse was good... but howard is one of the better metal singers actually... his voice is way more better than jesse's... with all do respect to the beginings of KsE, but i do prefer howard, even in the old songs...
this sound sucks...the guitar is way too loud nerve racking!!! awesome band awesome song, recording sucks though...sad cause there arent enough versions of this song.

Howard, your vocals will never go to waste
howard is the god of kse who brought kse back up to track from going extinct his vocals and growls were very angry and deep

leerobbo92 Who was the vocalist who ORIGINALLY sang My last serenade??? Idk the difference between Jesse and Howard. Please tell me

@@damianp2101 Jesse
Love this dvd
Those pinch harmonics live though holy shit made shiver
0:23
Its Matt Heafy in the crowd!
I forgot how much I loved this song. Its pretty unbelievable that shit came out in 2002. Killswitch was WAY ahead of the rest
That squealey at like 0:31 is the most brutal fucking squealey I've ever heard.......
........EVER!
jeeeeeesus they are soooo good
adam D and howard FTW!!!
I think Howard did an awesome job when he had to take over

The pinch harmonic at 0.31 just set off all the dogs barkin in ma street.
best squelie i ever heard at :31 in my whole life
Howard
@ZboyzWillie02
howard's first show was in 2002. justins first show was in 2003
Both are good and equal and have there own songs and style and voice unique incomparable but both epic this is there best album ever tho but my curse is my fav single
i agree
LOL I loved the end - "WOOOOAAAH GIVE ME A PIECE!!!!" LMFAO!
Best Howard Jones...
I dont know why people say that, both of them our good singers!
this must have been around the time (or even before) they brought out end of a heartache look how young they look , .>> gotta be at least 4 years ago
It's not hellfest and this isn't in 2004 either... Justin Foley (the new drummer) joined the band in 2003 alrdy and that's their former drummer in the video :D
thats not at HELLFEST 2004.. is in England-- at Hardcore Metal Festival.
still KsE sounds so brutal..!! like them!!
@ColmIncendinall LOL I wouldnt doubt it, he's a huge fan of killswitch!
i think this is the concert they filmed the video for fixation on the darkness for right?
because justin isn't drumming yet
howard the dog they all look too young. Go from like 20s to 30s in a year and half lmao
It looks pretty much how he did back then! Well spotted!
@snapascrew
correct on howard and correct on justin, but when exactly did gomes leave in 2003? i saw kse at ozzfest 2003 in raleigh, nc and gomes was in charge of beats.
@GoldenMusician nah, tom left in 04. howard came in in 02
You ever notice how Howard makes it looks like the easiest thing on the planet? Like he's just like okay cmon next, ya you liked that scream didn't you? Oh yeah here's a high ;D
I had no idea they made this video. Shit, and I was there. Oops!
this must have been 2003 or 2002 cause tom gomes is playing on drums and i know he didnt leave in 2004
didnt howard come in in 2002...and the drummer left at 2004? thats what i always thought...
because its a metal concert and thats what happens. THe music gets played really loud ^_^
when i saw them, it was i think early august of 2003?
@ColmIncendinall no fucking way! he looks a fucking lot like him! But I no. This was in 2004, Matt didn't have that amount of long hair. He had short hair during Ember to Inferno and most of Ascendancy. If he did have long hair it could be him;)
same goes for u
Sheesh. What an Absolutely top specimen is Howard? Hot as F. Oh yeah and he's a great front man too 😉
Haha true!! He looks like him!!!
Really..? I'm pretty certain it's Justin Foley. I mean, Howard Jones came in 2003 - Tom left in 2002.
did they have justin behind the kit yet?
@KdKg2427 lol no :p he's just got different hair in this vid
Lol it really is Matt, thought he ddn't like bands that scream
the last show adam used ibanez at, then he cut it up with an axe ahahahhhh
what the hell are you talking about!? Ibanezes are awesome!
its true it is him lol
that guy 0m20s in looks just like matt heafy
joel and adam use to play jem's and JS models until they got their signature guitars from caparison
best squeeliez eva!
is adam playing an ibanez?
if so thats a fail. i hate ibanez's
ahahhahhahahaa give me a piece!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't have a problem with jesse, but Howard kicks ass!
I liked the guitar :(
I could be wrong though..
why would u moshpit for KSE? lol.
love the band and great sing.but the vocals were a bit lacking in this performance i have to admit.
lmao, guy at the end "give me a piece" but i agree with kaasflipje, waste of a guitar, but i mean, its his, he can do wut he wants with it
back when Howard looked most fit.
Adam isn't even hysterical. So
i fucking love kse and i think howard is bad ass but this song isnt as good with out jessie but its still sick
overall howard is just as good at screaming as jesse, but howard has more singing talent.
but either way, jesse owns this song ,vocaly..
who agrees with me?
12 years and still no one agrees
wtf is your problem. this is just my opinion there both good. jesse is good at his songs and howard is good at his songs. chill out !
Squealy? well that's new for me lol
I thought it was Squeal, just squeal without the "y"
or squeel
alright man
this video is like wtf. no crowd reaction= wtfs wrong with them
the entrie show at this venue, every band, killswitch, shadows fall, everyone, they all sounded like shit, its just the compression on the vid
he probably is just as muscular..its just that he grew a beer belly LAWL :D
no no no..
the vertigo squeal is a squealie that is so sick that when you play it you almost lose your balance.
learnyourshit
omg jesse does this songs so much better
it could be just before he cut his hair
sןɐɔoʌ spɹɐʍoɥ ǝʌoן ı
No matter how hard Howard tries, he will never have a better vocal cover than Jesse for this song.
i started listening to KsE in 05 and i first heard my last serenade with howard on vocals (end of heartache bonus disc 2 has live from ToC) so thats why i prefer howard. i wouldnt listen to KsE if Jesse was there singer, i know im gonna get 31231293-0219 thumbs down but i just personally dont like how he sings or screams
it's not.
jesse was good... but howard is one of the better metal singers actually... his voice is way more better than jesse's... with all do respect to the beginings of KsE, but i do prefer howard, even in the old songs...
wtf
dios ke mal suenan las guitarras para ser un directo de killswitch...
like the guitars and drums but singing not so much.
I like when the guitars are loudest. Probably because I'm a guitarist. I can't stand when the drums are too loud though
this sound sucks...the guitar is way too loud nerve racking!!! awesome band awesome song, recording sucks though...sad cause there arent enough versions of this song.
fedner is terible ibanez is beter that gibson and fender the gutars thats beter than ibanez is enp ltd
sqeualys? yeah learn to spell lol
Jessie leech is better
Howard is amazing in this video, but Jesse is better in my opinion.
howard is in a different class compared to jesse
