I almost cried when you said Sleeping Princess. That track is everything. I get it, people wanted the heavy (as did I), but when you guys would try something new and get melodic and introspective with the sound, you created absolute masterpieces. I’ve been listening to core music since 2006, and GTTG and Somatic Defilement from Whitechapel are what started it. But Emmure was the true start to all of this for me, all the way back in 8th grade. And you never missed. Even on the second record, tracks like Dry Ice were incredible. It always bothered me that they didn’t get the recognition they deserved. But you guys were so special, especially from the start through SOTD. Love these videos, dude. God, I wish I could’ve been a part of such an insane journey.
@@jessekjamzhell yeah, man. I wish I had been a little older at the time, I feel like I was very close (if I wasn’t too damn young) to being in a band in that scene. I can only imagine coming across you dudes and performing with you on the way up, during the Nine Eleven Zero Four or Needlework era, when you had smaller venues and were surrounded by the local bands. I’ve lived in CT my whole life and it’s a damn shame I never got a chance to play with or meet and hang out with you dudes. Especially you, you’re always seemed like an awesome dude.
Thanks for posting these man! You're respectful and humble which is nice to see nowadays. Eternal enemies came out when I was deployed, as soon as I got to wifi I downloaded and jammed that album
I've always associated that tight Emmure sound with you, knowing nothing about the background of the band. And now you tell you've been a principal song-writer. Like, wow, I was right all the time😮
I miss the emmure with you and the brothers. My band would always play with you guys when you came through Virginia Beach and you 3 were always the ones that would chill and smoke with us hahahaha
Honestly one of my lifetime highlights was meeting you in Glasgow and just hanging with you at the merch stand. I’m fairly sure I didn’t even get anything signed cause I was so caught up in the moment!
I seen you guys at Peoples court in Des Moines Iowa in 2009. I didnt get to see your whole set had to leave a few songs in. I remember watching frankie messing with I believe bens guitar pedals like they had issues but it was a great show.
The first time heard Goodbye to the Gallows. I had a car accident and was in Vanderbilt Hospital for 8 days. One of the nurses who would check in on me brought it one night and hung out with me and we talked music and movies and video games. One reason Emmure is very important to me in my life!! That album changed my life!!!
Great video. Love you touching on the struggle aspects. It really is a GRIND. Not for the weak. Dealing with Tony Brummell...also not for the weak. The Victory Tour was when we met. 2008 I think. Bury Your Dead, Warriors, Emmure...maybe one more. Was a SICK time. I was out for a week to hang with Myke. Had the dookie ropes, wildin on tour. I remember posting about y'all on MySpace a lot. I was so impressed. Jon Blake reached out like who are these dudes? Because at the time he was cool with Vince, but not you guys. I'm like oh they're cool I'm with them now. I knew JB from my days as a small time promoter, my first tour was OBW, Black My Heart, In Remembrance. Jon ending up working for y'all was so trippy to me when it happened. Small world! All the homies know each other. Much love always man. Thanks for sharing this. So stoked that you've been able to arrive at a place where you're comfortable sharing about this stuff.
Yeah brother! Miss ya tons and super stoked to hear more angles/sides of the tale. Hope all is well and it definately has been wonderful growing and maturing to make this channel and these past 4 vids!🎉
Hi. Long time listener, first time commenter. Was wondering if i could get my warfix and flaw factor CDs signed.. 😂 glad to see you are doing well big guy.. i have no clue how i ended up on this video, but its good to see youre healthy and happy.
Thank you for doing these. You're a huge influece for me in both song writing and guitar. Heard goodbye to the gallows when I was 17 back in 2013 and it blew me away. Cheers from Finland
Love hearing about the Sturgis era for you guys. I think it was such a smart business decision to go with him for SOTD. That's just my favorite era in general of metalcore & deathcore. Excited for Part 4 to hear about Slave to the Game and Eternal Enemies - and how much Joey impacted those records!
bruh im so glad you mentioned tyler guida. my bitter end are a fucking huuuuuge band for me, the renovation is so underrated and i thought he was sick in dr acula
Major Emmure fan since 08. Have a tat and my husky is named Frankie lol. Love these videos, it’s cool hearing about how everything came to be and all the random trivia tid bits. Seen them 11x(6 of those times were during your era. First time was warped 2010). You guys always crushed it. Keep it up and I’d love to hear some new stuff from you if you’re still doing any music.
Would love to see a Post-Emmure video as well, like what you’ve been workin on since, pros and cons of life outside of Emmure like more family time, etc
Still waiting on that text dawg let get it! So happy to see how passionate you are about your's guys creation. You guys are my biggest influence (along with Deftones). Felony changed my life forever. I remember my sister got a computer, I was babysitting my nephew at her crib and the telly video dropped. And I knew I was starting a band. Keep the good vibes and passion man. You're still influencing the masses just being you, I love it. Check out He Who Creates if you get a second. We have a music video for echoes and we just dropped a song called Vitriol. It's on iTunes, Spotify, RUclips, all of it. Sorry for the book, Just appreciate you homie. Keep it real 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Maybe this is a lot to ask but make a video with your guitar breaking down the riffs/parts. Talk about who wrote each riff or part or if it was joint. You could do this song by song. Just a fun idea although it would be in depth. Either way I enjoy your content Jesse keep keeping it real
I love watching this stuff! Saw you guys play in 2010? I think that was the year at the Kave in Maine, and again at the rockstar mayhem festival. So cool to see what goes on to make those shows happen.
Absolutely love these videos man, you’re a hell of a storyteller! I’m happy I got to see you live a few times, the sound was so tight when you were there
Hey man really enjoy your vids,,, been a fan for many years, id like to hear more about your guitars tuning's string gauge's and maybe even start doing vids of you jamming,, stay heavy my friend,,
so glad youre doing these. these 5 albums are among my favorite releases of all time. especially felony. i always thought you guys never got the credit you deserve for what you did on that album. i think its the only album that took nu metal and made it fresh. every other band just kind of covers old songs but you guys took the flavor and fun and made it emmure. of course franks vocals and lyrics play a big part in that but your song writing was just on point. i always thought that and its cool to know how really wrote all that stuff.
Absolutely love the felony album. It’s just so sick, mean, and unhinged sounding. The mix is also perfect imo. I’d love to know what was used for getting that guitar tone. I can see it looks like the black custom RG with the EMG bridge pu was used but I’m curious as to what amp, cab, and fx were used. It just sounds so crunchy and massive with zero flub I LOVE it.
Thanks tons! To be fair I believe it was a simple setup. The black RG7321 with an EMG707 pickup, peavey 5152 (I believe) and a mesa boogie 4x12 cab. Antione L beheld the magic!🎉
Thanks for the reply man! I happen to have an old RG7321 that I got to fix up and decided to put an EMG707 in after seeing your supreme 7 string talk vid. It sounds KILLER. But I made a patch in axe edit for axe fx2 based off the felony recording rig using the 6505+ which I think is a 5150II and 4x12 Cali which is a mesa cab and a tone match with my RG and an isolated guitar track with an online track isolator (it kinda worked) but it sounds pretty close. Edit: I’ll upload it to axechange with the title “Felony” tonight. If you gave it a try I think you’d love it. It’s sounds pretty close imo but I could be wrong. Sounds brutal regardless 🤘
Dude I remember the van. If I remember correctly when you guy's came to Newark,De around 2007-8 you guy's were writing respect issue and it was a white dodge passenger band. I was standing outside near the van smoking a joint and I saw you and frankie standing by the band and you smoked the joint with me and you saw I had two Tshirts in my hand and asked if I wanted to hear some rough recording of Young,rich and out of control. Amazing times!
Very interesting story. Excited for part 4! my only question is why did you leave? I know frankie can't be easy to work with sometimes but you really suited the band, big up anyway!!
You should do a video and offer some clarity on the Frank vs Vincent beef. I know it's been settled for years but it does come up ALOT. The real story would be cool.
The craziest was seeing you and frankie in Lancaster Pa at the chameleon club in the parking lot playing hacky sack we smoked another joint with you and frankie and Frank and yourself signed a foam cup for me
What tracks with guest vocals ?? Always noticed there was never credits or if any guest vocals .... getting into bands when the Internet era took over was wild but I'm super grateful
My heart weeps for you jesse :( all the hard work and sacrifice you put in only to walk away at the end :/ must of been something awful going on to do that. Much love from a big fan (even have an emmure tattoo) saw you guys everytime you come to Manchester England. No disrespect to josh but I prefer the music you wrote x
never knew arizona iced teas make for great mufflers. also, the tones on speaker & slave to the game go dummy. pod farm deserves far more respect than it gets.
I think at like 12:55 you inadvertently gave the reality of that fight - "either Frank's getting on the bus and Ben & Joe are out, or Ben & Joe have to go and Frank's gonna come on the bus".
Hey Jesse. If you ever need good bass for anything you’re up to hit my line. I’ve been in some prominent bands around LA and can do anything in any tuning. 🖤
Hey Jesse, thanks a lot for these videos. I wanted to ask about some songs. I know you said it about having this great mix of heavy and melodic elements. So I wanted to ask about a few songs that really have stood out to me over the years that are iconic Emmure but at the same time different vibe/tonally/flow from the other tracks on the albums. What inspired or what's the story behind songs like MDMA, Don't Be One, Chicago's Finest (I'm from Chicago!), Last Words To Rose, etc. I feel like every album had 1, maybe 2 tracks that really leaned more melodic or different structurally and I loved them. Was it like a conscious decision, like hey, lets balance the album with this or that or just something that naturally come out of the writing process? It's also awesome how for example Don't Be One ends perfectly to set up the next song. Was there ever a moment you guys were like, what if we leaned into it even more?
@jessekjamz do you happen to remember playing a few shows in mass with a band called With No Remorse?? Qvcc in Worcester and a leominster show or 2. I was one of the guitarists. Glad to see some content from you on here!
Goodbye to the gallows will forever hold great memories in my life. Awesome album.
Goodbye to the Gallows - that's Emmure when I think of Emmure. It was a time. Had to be there.
I almost cried when you said Sleeping Princess. That track is everything. I get it, people wanted the heavy (as did I), but when you guys would try something new and get melodic and introspective with the sound, you created absolute masterpieces. I’ve been listening to core music since 2006, and GTTG and Somatic Defilement from Whitechapel are what started it. But Emmure was the true start to all of this for me, all the way back in 8th grade.

I was drying to find wrestling video. Good up
I've always associated that tight Emmure sound with you, knowing nothing about the background of the band. And now you tell you've been a principal song-writer. Like, wow, I was right all the time😮
These videos are bangers, also cool to hear about your Ibanez days.
I miss the emmure with you and the brothers. My band would always play with you guys when you came through Virginia Beach and you 3 were always the ones that would chill and smoke with us hahahaha
Love this bro shout out Christina’s and that practice spot
Yass!🎉
I saw Emmure open for Korn at the Hollywood Palladium on their Path of Totality tour. Good times.
Honestly one of my lifetime highlights was meeting you in Glasgow and just hanging with you at the merch stand. I’m fairly sure I didn’t even get anything signed cause I was so caught up in the moment!
Really love this series man. I completely agree that speaker of the dead is the best Emmure album. Sonically, that records sounds absolutely amazing.
I seen you guys at Peoples court in Des Moines Iowa in 2009. I didnt get to see your whole set had to leave a few songs in. I remember watching frankie messing with I believe bens guitar pedals like they had issues but it was a great show.
love informative stuff like this
Holy shit man, the Pod UX1! I put some miles on one of those myself lol.
The first time heard Goodbye to the Gallows. I had a car accident and was in Vanderbilt Hospital for 8 days. One of the nurses who would check in on me brought it one night and hung out with me and we talked music and movies and video games. One reason Emmure is very important to me in my life!!

Wow. Glad your doing good now and appreciate it!
@jessekjamz thank you for the year's of amazing music and killer riffages and hangs!!!!
Only commenting again to give props on the drip playa 🤌🔥

Great video. Love you touching on the struggle aspects. It really is a GRIND. Not for the weak. Dealing with Tony Brummell...also not for the weak. The Victory Tour was when we met. 2008 I think. Bury Your Dead, Warriors, Emmure...maybe one more. Was a SICK time. I was out for a week to hang with Myke. Had the dookie ropes, wildin on tour. I remember posting about y'all on MySpace a lot. I was so impressed. Jon Blake reached out like who are these dudes? Because at the time he was cool with Vince, but not you guys. I'm like oh they're cool I'm with them now. I knew JB from my days as a small time promoter, my first tour was OBW, Black My Heart, In Remembrance. Jon ending up working for y'all was so trippy to me when it happened. Small world! All the homies know each other. Much love always man. Thanks for sharing this. So stoked that you've been able to arrive at a place where you're comfortable sharing about this stuff.
Yeah brother! Miss ya tons and super stoked to hear more angles/sides of the tale. Hope all is well and it definately has been wonderful growing and maturing to make this channel and these past 4 vids!🎉
The respect issue got stuck in my friends CD player for like 2 years lol so whenever we hung out that was always the soundtrack
I'm loving these videos! Keep it up! It would also be cool to hear about your experience after Emmure, with the band Painless!
Last 2 records, painless etc is coming in the final video - part 4!
shoutout you and Mike for mdma still a top song of mine Ive struggle to find a song that hits the same
Hi. Long time listener, first time commenter. Was wondering if i could get my warfix and flaw factor CDs signed.. 😂 glad to see you are doing well big guy.. i have no clue how i ended up on this video, but its good to see youre healthy and happy.

my old band RECOGNIZE played quite a few shows with you while you guys were out in California. always a party. good times!!!!
Saw you at Download Festival in the UK just after SOTD. Unreal set. Blew me away.
Major Emmure fan since 08. Have a tat and my husky is named Frankie lol. Love these videos, it’s cool hearing about how everything came to be and all the random trivia tid bits.

I always appreciate the uploads dude! Keep them coming!
I sure will! You still have 23 min or so to go on this one!! Hahah🥂
@@jessekjamz for sure lol pretty wild hearing about the shifter cable btw. pure dedication. Cheers!
@@robertvance3166haha one of so many things that COULD have stopped us… but did not!🎉
The silver van!!! I remember that thing.

Felony will always be my favorite emmure album. It’s so hard on the ears and that’s what I love about it.
I love watching this stuff! Saw you guys play in 2010? I think that was the year at the Kave in Maine, and again at the rockstar mayhem festival. So cool to see what goes on to make those shows happen.

Another great video Jesse! I love these series so much
There's something Chimaira/Rob Arnold about this.
Rose tinted memories told by a former member.
Great stories. Great content.
Love the updates! Will you ever rejoin Emmure?

After living in nyc for awhile Emmure definitely has that brooklyn/queens type sound thanks for making such great music.👌🙏💯
amazing as always, im glad this video is longer because i got really hyped on the last one lmao, can't wait for part 4!
If you were given the option would you re-join emmure, btw love the series keep er going!
Theres reasons I would love to, and reasons I just could not. A lot of life changes were made over the last 9 years.
Great video and stories, bro!!

Also ANYONE WHO KNOWS PLANET Z FROM STUDIO UPDATES FROM TAS AND OCEANO ARE GOATED
Speaker of the Dead is still the best emmure record. Probably always will be.
I remember hanging out at The Jamboree back in the 2010's when your step brother was in the band.
insanee that album was recorded on a podfarm
Right? That man just… knows haha
Nice,, can’t wait for part 4. Any new projects in the future? And would it be a local type thing or hit the big stage again?
What tracks with guest vocals ?? Always noticed there was never credits or if any guest vocals .... getting into bands when the Internet era took over was wild but I'm super grateful
Sleeping princess and one or two other tracks on the record!
My heart weeps for you jesse :( all the hard work and sacrifice you put in only to walk away at the end :/ must of been something awful going on to do that. Much love from a big fan (even have an emmure tattoo) saw you guys everytime you come to Manchester England. No disrespect to josh but I prefer the music you wrote x
Thanks tons man. Things all happen for a reason and after some time now - things worked out for the best for us all and everyone is friendly again. 🎉
never knew arizona iced teas make for great mufflers.
also, the tones on speaker & slave to the game go dummy. pod farm deserves far more respect than it gets.
lmao bro i still use that exact toneport to this day!!! fuckin thing won't die
Dude it’d be so rad if you shared any pre pro demos of emmure tracks (if allowed!!)
I think at like 12:55 you inadvertently gave the reality of that fight - "either Frank's getting on the bus and Ben & Joe are out, or Ben & Joe have to go and Frank's gonna come on the bus".
Number 4. Hurry up
Lol, I just did number 3 - 18 hrs ago! Number 4 is coming soon enough!🎉😂
people gotta start putting respect on Rusted Over Wet Dreams bro, somebody has gotta cover it eventually

Love the videos! Met you in Tulsa through Sean from Endwell. Gave you w££d. It was one of the felony tours.
I wonder if Kurt Angle jams some Emmure from time to time lol
As a diehard Emmure fan, you got something wrong bro. Mike Kaabe was in the band during Speaker of the Dead era. He left prior to Slave to the Game.
Yeah that makes sense! It was sometime after we released Felony.. did not remember exactly when, thanks!🎉
wait.. karl was on goodbye to the gallows?!??!?!?!?!?!
Yes ! During the breakdown during sleeping princess!
@jessekjamz no way! They are also one of my all time favorites. I can't believe I didn't know that!
