[Feileiks]

@mreliassimpson holy shit, what does he do in the pit :D

[corybeam]

yo! were adam at!?

[CreepingDeath664]

such a epic metal band.

[danutd94]

you can see that howard is trying to run around a lot to make up for adam not being there.

yeah, hes THAT awesome!

[DrugstoreCFH]

Thats Pat Lachman on the axe. He's a shredder!

[Treythemusician]

@DrugstoreCFH fuck yeahh for pat!

[Barthoof]

Ah, okay, then it's fine. :D

[Barthoof]

man....Adam looks so different now....i'm really not sure if this really was adam :D

[joedeertey]

@Barthoof its damageplans guitarist

[ESPThrasher57]

[MrMark555]

awesome voice

[RebelBowler1]

I LOVE HOWARD <3

[bawkrawk]

this song is crazy!

[cynthdenise]

just outstanding

[MetallNL]

Whats up with the whole are they cristian or not band shit. I dont care, I resprect everyone for their beliefs but i dont care if a band is cristian or not just let them play awesome music :D

[isamarine]

This isn't screamo! It's called Metalcore. KSE is one of the very few good Metalcore bands out there that are respectable.

[kunoichiOneX]

i love Killswitch Engage! my brother was like, "you're so evil and dark listening to this screamo." then i was like, "well, you gotta listen to the lyrics you wannabe gangsta!"

[toastertown6]

i have a conversation similar to that with my sister.

[quire14]

i´m in the same situation

[toastertown6]

yeah she's quite agrivating because she only listens to what ever is on Kiss 108 and i can't stand anything that is played on that station

[DaneBowgen]

lol its not even screamo though

[quire14]

haha sisters don´t have taste in music xD

[KillSwitchEngage0101]

just because they scream, doesnt mean they are screamo.

[MeTaLhEaDMaGgOt97]

holy fuck... screaming is god

[zombiee13]

where's adam?! what happened with him at this concert?

[naked166]

killswitch engage is god

[mattsherwood]

no not a christian band but not anti god. kse has great morals

[doverwolf]

dude wtf what does god have to do with morals do you need that to keep you form killing people i don't now don't mix the metal with your god or the online flame wars will start

[eeffoooo]

Howard is a Christian though

[nabseen]

Howard Is Straight Edge

[MrRatfinkJR]

Howard is a fucking tank. he can be what he wants. hes christian tho. and could be jewish at the same time if he wanted to cause hes just THAT good

[nabseen]

completely agreed.

[Dylanmovesmts]

Yeah they are of the christian faith tho just dont carry the christian band title there lyrics are based christian though they even said : D I dont have a problem with it though think its pretty cool

[MysterysInside]

I don't recall them ever saying they're lyrics were Christian based.

[Dylanmovesmts]

Look it up I did youll find it out there they talked to some magazine or whatever about it Adam Mike and Howard were raised in christian families and they said they dont consider themselves a christian band but its in the lyrics they said

[MysterysInside]

Only thing I found was someone writing up some "interview" they found on Wikianswers.

I have no doubt they're Christian, but lyrics can be interpreted in many ways.

[bobthebath]

as adam would say NOPE!!!

[BorNNafarious]

from a christian perspective u can tell tho...even if they rnt their lyrics do hav a very pro-christian message...especially the song this is absouloution

[MysterysInside]

The song This is Absolution, can be seen as a pro-life message.

[irontiger54]

You can find a script of a phone conversation online with Adam (I think) where he says that some of the band members (Justin only, I think) are Christian and that the band isn't a "Christian" band and that Howard's lyrics are not confined to any 'genre.' However, Jesse was obviously Christian and had Christian lyrics.

[Dylanmovesmts]

Yeah Jesse was Christian tho Howard,Mike,and Adam are also so as well because even without Jesse in the band pretty much every song has christian values :P and I notice also they tour with alot of Christian bands As I lay dying they did a tour with back in the day and now The Devil Wears Prada it just adds up they said though there families raised them christian and after the show I was add Adam even said god bless us all and stuff so ima say they are :P and now im just blabing on ha

[ColmIncendinall]

0:43 is that a cardboard cutout of eddie murphy?

[rokr44]

what the hell?! :DD

[superchef78]

is this a christian band?

They sure seem like it! Anyway this song freaking rocks!

[duckey75]

no they r not!!!!!!!!!

[LeRoseStudios09]

jeesse leach the old band was a christain. howard is also a straightedge

so yes and no lol

[rokr44]

no, its just no....

[LeRoseStudios09]

okay?

[Zerschmetterling89]

[FeelMetalMan]

[laxgoalie3207]

[rokr44]

[ksumadness]

Don't know about anyone else but i get goosebumps everytime i hear the change up at 1:47, FUCKIN' KILLER SHIT!!

[laxgoalie3207]

[rEptiLeKitChen]

damn this song is so much better when the lead guitarist sings the ( open your eyes) bit...

[CIre101]

lol, jesse leach sings it in the recording, their old singer...

[powerLOCKE110]

did mike stumble at 2:51?

[naskoon]

no he didnT XD

[JoelStroetzelisGod]

so many damn people I bet the guy filling in for Adam D shit his pants!!!

and just as my name says Joel Stroetzel is fucking god!!

[belmont567]

the guy filling in for adam i think was a guitar player w/ dime bag in damage plan. i THINK, so ppl dont get mad at me if im wrong

[southerntrendkill1]

your half right. His name is pat and he did vocals for damage plan. and used to play guitar for Halford.

[edjuusoftkse6666]

howard is sick?

[marcusvs9009]

most badass growl/scream at 2:57 i can damn its nice

[survivedrummer]

vocês são foda!

=]

[PilaAssassina]

KsE Bueda fixe >;D

[creedencelearwater]

ROFL when that guy starts singing at 3:20

[truepunkass]

[morjens111]

Yes, sure is.

[RedRebel6666]

I prefered Mike wen he didnt have all that hair in his face lol

[tobiasbob]

god i wish i had been there, well download festival itselff acctually bit i did get to see them on the 3rd october this year so that was pretty call esppecially as i was on the barrior! quite central as well and adam D was back from his back problems as well. Score!

[rugbyguitargod]

where in creation is Adam D? that def isnt him!

[JoelCharron1991]

back problemes then hes back now tho

[xxCProdcutionsxx]

They are the best, although this preformance was not so good, but I think it's the video not them.

[PlanetaDeCristal]

3:27 ?????¿¿¿¿¿¿ wajajajaja

[coreyroper]

rofl wtf was that??!?!?!?!

[doublebassaxisdrummr]

Howard should continue to do both. amazing singer and incredible screamer. great range both singing and screaming

[Dumbazz90]

Ummm...NO! He should scream away like there's no tomorrow!!

[zardez]

i wish he would sing more and scream less

[ChaosScourge777]

Hands down the BEST concert I have ever been to. Howard sounded a little exhausted, though. I'd love to see Killswitch at a one-off or the first date of a tour, I bet they're beyond belief at their best.

[HappyRush]

Didn't he have the flu at this concert?

[morjens111]

yes, he has been sick a lot this year. He got it on his first european tour this year i guess.

[aaronturtle]

killswitch enagge is the bextband ive seen live hands down, there amazing

[SicSeb]

You should've take broadband! Not the shitty quality like this =S

Amazing song though \m/

[jsh765765]

Howard is a good singer but here he was flat as a pancake.

[masterofone]

Agreed. See Rose of Sharyn at the same show, his voice got progressively better.

[brockhart1010101]

the other guitarist is pat from damageplan

[aldenheartless]

the 2nd guitar is out off tune.

i saw killswitch last week!!!!!

in the warped tour 2007, blasthing all the emo kidz!

[mrpie1]

rrjx, adam hurt his back :( theres a cover guitarist if you can see him

[rrjx08]

wer is adam d?

[metalg19]

Unfortunatly here in the US and A, where all of these hardcore bands are from we don't get such a killer bill as this, looks alittle cramped and sweaty up in front there...wish there was a Download Fest over here..:(

[fatboygarbutt]

it is only in england because kerrang is english

[vicarious0]

[rammstein007]

ROFL

[Chunkchenk0]

hahaha he looks like john lennon

[alexisonfirekid]

thankyou for the kind words

john lennon is a very big legend to be compared to.

[alexisonfirekid]

ill have you know, that is me.

AND I'M A GIRL

[onicrest]

LOL

[tallicalad]

I loved it, it was my 3rd time seeing them.

But... Howard's vocals are always off slightly, but still I can appreciate that heavy touring does it to you. Can't help but notice though. KsE :|

[Sirbuggernuts]

they were phenominal , they played an amazing show!
