Killswitch Engage - Fixation on the darkness (live'01-Jesse)

[bonnertom032]

very cool live video. there needs to be more videos of killswitch with Jesse and Tom. This lineup basically did all the heavy lifting for killswtich, tour-wise. they were the ones who played all the shitty clubs and empty vfw halls trying to gain a core following. howard is a great singer and justin is a great drummer, there is no question. but killswitch with jesse and tom really pushed killswitch forward

[rossapher24]

wow im suprised i haven't found this video until now!

[ryonafan]

i like tom because he played the songs like they are in the album justin doesn't

[snapascrew]

@ryonafan Tom really doesn't... and In Justin's defense when you play the same songs every day for 80 percent of the year, you wanna switch things up.

[ryonafan]

@snapascrew justin has never played the songs like they really go, so he has never switched things up, and what do you mean by tom really doesn't, that he doesn't play the songs right, he does, did you watched this video?

[snapascrew]

@ryonafan If tom were still in the band he'd be doing the same thing justin does.. spicing it up live after playing the song for 8 years.

[ryonafan]

@snapascrew who knows, listen justin is a better drumer but what i'm saying is that he never played the songs like they go on the album ,that's all, for example the chorus of fixation on the darkness, that drum part sounds awesome in the album and justin has never played it correctly, i don't like his version

[seemless1134]

jesse all the way

[filthybloodytears]

i like jesse but i love howards voice more.

[MarcSteinbach85]

I must say that i love the old albums more than the new albums

Im fanatic from the old stuff like Alive or just breathing and The end of heartache

As daylight dies is not bad but for me the sound is not more from the original Killswitch engage

I like more ADam D playing guitars and Tom was cool too but Justin do it well too.

About Jesse,i love Howard but i prefere the hard times from him in Blood has been shed and Jesse as original vocalist in KsE because her lyrics have real messege

[thnk4urself]

I prefer Tom over Justin too. whoever said Justin's better than Tom and Adam D is an idiot. Justin may be technicnically better but Adam is better creativly and his drumming style fits the band better and so does toms. Tom gomes only recorded on "When Darkness Falls" demo track. not the album version

[chanjcw1]

but Tom never recorded anything will them. Adam was the drums on the Alive or Just Breathing album, but Tom was the drummer for the touring after that. then justin came in becuase tom hated the touring

[jakeypooxxx]

HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD HOWARD!

[bakinblack]

if he has no tech, then how did he get a masters in percussion? i love the way he plays..hes a solid beat machine and does a lot with a small kit which shows how good he is. He doesnt hide behind 14 drums like some

[snapascrew]

Joel rocking the soldano slo!

[Xenosapien90]

Killswitch will always be a great band no matter whos in it. But when Jesse was in the band, it was more than music, it made you feel like you were part of something...

[bakinblack]

yeah..he was pretty intense..that edgeyness ...kinda hairs on the back of your neck standing on end has gone with the new lineup.. joel looks about 12 on here haha... hes changed how he plays.. headbands like a lunatic now... skips around. whys the drummer facing off the side

[morjens111]

this guy isn't the original drummer man, and Justin is a thousand times better drummer than Tom or Adam D himself.

[sacklickdick]

fuck that bruh just has technique.

[playittiltheend]

AWESOME

[Raszius]

technically adam.d was the original drummer. jesse's other metal band THE EMPIRE SHALL FALL is workin on a new album with adam.d

[mt201013]

not trying to be an ass or anything but jesse and adam d. are working on an album called times of grace. adam has nothing to do with the empire shall fall.

[awp666]

Apparently Adam D and Jesse are working on a side project where Jesse is the singer...

[iminthestatic]

2:22 Guy in the background with the camcorder is adamz brother and frontman of Aftershock!! legend. check them out. this is the best kse vid going.

[KyGuy300]

SICK. Please come back, Jesse.

[JeredRLacks]

I liked Jesse as well, but Howard isn't a shit singer, lol. He is different, but he isn's shit.

[JeredRLacks]

This is such a cool video. I miss this Killswitch.

[morjens111]

[DJshooters]

[creedencelearwater]

[forbiddensociety]

The banner behind Tom is for Red Rocket Records in Indian Orchard, Massachusetts. I don't know if they're playing in the record store or they sponsored the show. I'm guessing they were sponsoring it.

Thank you for posting this video.
