@jack24showrocks - He did, a few months after Alive or Just Breathing came out. Jesse was recently married, and was having trouble with his voice breaking too often. Howard came in from a band called Blood Has Been Shed, and actually did a reworked vocal track on Fixation on the Darkness.
The first song heard with Howard's writing was When Darkness Falls, which was on the Freddy vs. Jason soundtrack.
Let's be honest the new album had 1 or 2 good songs. Good. NOT great. I loved Howard's vocals but his screams sucked and really weren't even that prevelant in the new album. Jesse has the sickest screams I've ever heard. Saw them once with Howard, now i shall see them with Jesse in April. You can't really compare KSE with Jesse and KSE with Howard because it's practically two different bands in two different genres.
@squeakymoths Howard's screams are the most powerfull scream in metal, don't forget blood has been shed... He is Black, he has a more powerfull voice than anyone. Look at Barack Obama for example HAHAHA :D But Yes actually the last album is less brutal vocaslistly than the old album.
@MikaelAvsky666 Better range? True. Evokes more emotion? False. Howard has barely any emotion in his screams, whereas Jesse is all over the place and screams with as much passion as he can. As far as singing goes, they are about even.
Lets get this clear, When Jesse was with the band, They only sold how many cd's??? Like over 100,000. When Howard Joined the band, so many more people got interested over 1,000,000. Plus they made it on the music charts, guitar hero, And got more Popular , reason why "Howard Jones" + The best band members in the world were so much BETTER. Just pointing out the facts for those who say "Jesse is the best" Like retards.
dude they would have been big even with jesse you ass, he left right before a large tour if he never left they still would have become just as big. Howards a great vocalist but i like jesses style better and alot of kse fans would agree on me with this both guys are great but jesses style is more raw
@sickorndude Lol your probably a part of those 100,000 fans , Lots of people agree with me since howard Joined there better, I guarentee and am 100% sure they wouldnt of have been as famous if Jesse was still with them, I like his clean but i absolutely hate his screaming, You obviously dont know much about music. So just be quite and dont reply.
@LukeHeavyshield wow... I'm appalled by your comment man... Jesse is amazing... so is howard... but the passion jesse has is UNDENIABLE... Maybe it's best you lay off people and just enjoy the music
@guitartedoutlaw Who said i hate him? I just said the band is doing better without him since howard joined, People still apreciate him, the point is everyone knows HOWARD is a better SINGER, And i wonder how many people are at that venue??? Not too much i see. lol
@LukeHeavyshield your really ignorant. you know if you don't like jesse that much why keep coming on here to troll everyone. your probably to young to understand old KSE. if you weren't a fan of their old stuff then you wouldn't understand it anyways.
@shadybrain3424 Your really stupid and know absolutely NOTHING about music. Im not trolling i just hate it when a few people in this forum say jesse is better when 98% of killswitch fans knows howard is better. Dont bother replying your just a waste of breath. And your younger then me kid.
@LukeHeavyshield really?! i know nothing about music? you know that i have been classically trained for 5 years privately. your the one that is just opening their mouth to get a rise outta people. and ill reply whenever or however i want try to stop me you youtube tough guy. i don't have to troll to get attention because my mom and dad don't give me any.
@shadybrain3424 Lol i play all styles exept country, i played metal since i was 2 years OLD, I play classical also , you can check out my metal records demos on my profile, but just ignore the other videos there off other stuff, but besides that i also taught over 20 people how to play music. So im pretty sure i know my music , Im glad for you , you actually took on something worth learning (Classical Music). Im not a troll or internet tough guy, if i was i would be challenging you to a fight.
@LukeHeavyshield well good for you dude, actually i did check out your music and the demo was pretty good, so blessings on you.
but, with howard and all i think as a singer technically he is a better singer but i don't think he put more in his voice than jesse did for AoJB but jesse did blow out his voice so i would hope howard didn't sing with that much emotion. i for sure think that jesse is better at singing his songs that he did with KSE, and i think howard sings his songs better
@shadybrain3424 Hey thanks ! And i dont mean to say Jesse sucks but hes actually good, But i know howard doesent scream as hard because his voice is good and naturally can scream, But Jesse does sing with emotion and i think his clean vocals RAPES Howards HARDCORE lol
@LukeHeavyshield yeah, to be honest i didn't much like their new album. it seemed like they had to many things that they always do, and usually i expect all kinds of crazy riffs that are memorable. to me it seemed like they could have done way better. not saying that there weren't good songs i like about 5 of them but i expected so much more from them after as daylight dies.
@LukeHeavyshield yeah i liked that one too, i think my favorite was the bonus track, 'in a dead world' dunno why it wasn't just straight up on the cd.
@LukeHeavyshield I don't believe so man. Howard screws up a ton live, just look up his jimmy kimmel performances, and I'll even go out of my way to show you other videos too. and that venue is PACKED man. Howard is good... but Jesse is just better. I respect your preference though!
Damnit I am so envious of you ScottieCreatedFilms - to witness both the former and potential replacement vocalists perform, you lucky duck. Thank you for posting this!
