Interview with Howard Jones- KSE

[GuerillaMetal]

He sound like the Black Seth Rogan LOL...

[MetalPancakes111]

I'm going to miss Howard So much he gave so much life to the band and no vocalist will ever be able to replace that

[12disneyhater]

im not a huge kse fan but i love this guy

[666slipmaiden1]

Howard left Killswitch Engage

[thesimguy1905]

so i've been listening to KsE,thinking that Howard was some kind of genius...turns out he was just trying to make the songs sound good...

FML

[Sileni]

Finally, those stupid Kmart ads were getting hella annoying.

[nymphetismal]

Reject Yourself IS a fucking message. The lyrics: "Can you reject yourself, can you feel their agony? In a world that feeds on disregard, heal the broken hearted." It's fucking saying that as a society, we pretty much reject the weak, the over emotional downcast undesirables are what we consider to weak to survive. Some people go as far as to tell them they should kill themselves and that's why we're a cold-hearted society.

[MrCeddiRazor]

Howard is so fucking funny :)

[Icantfeeeeeelit]

he is a symbol that infact even black people can listen to metal, produce metal etc. great singer/growler

[MikeHeaton]

@xxXJackTheRIPperXx I believe the "Him" Howard was referring to is God. Just judging from how shocked he seemed when they said the CD should be called extreme love song volume 666.

[chronorador]

@MikeHeaton @xxXJackTheRIPperXx Howard was indeed refering to the band HIM. HIM has an album called Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666, that was the reference.

[xxXJackTheRIPperXx]

what do you think he means by "i think everyone in the band likes him"? who's him? they didnt mention the band HIM at all so what is he refering to?

[PurpleAsh8]

@xxXJackTheRIPperXx Actually he was talking about the band HIM. Howard even has a heartagram - tattoo, symbol of HIM, on his wrist.

[jordan19roberts]

5:19....hilarious!!!!

[joeratti]

im glad this guy doesnt try and talk all artsy fartsy like some metal bands i know. he doesnt try and force everything he says to be profound

[xCARNAGEx17]

raggle fraggle!

[engxiong1980]

DAMN...I like everyones top 5 list for metal!! Ok, I'll add mines too!

1. Def Leppard - 80's metal/rock...if you listen to the songs and added double bass kicks to the drums, its metal that kicks ass!!

2-5. All that you guys listed!!! besides the bands like Atreyu, its not metal, its indy/pop with some agression. But I still like them for their styles

[mike67098]

@engxiong1980 If you think Atreyu is pop you know absolutely nothing about music. Atreyu is Metalcore; which is Metal mixed with Hardcore Punk. Nothing like pop, quite the opposite actually...

[engxiong1980]

@mike67098 Hey your right, im not a fan of hardcore punk, I was just, punk to me is like pop. I love atreyu, just saying i get that popish vibe when i listen to atreyu thats all. Kinda with Def Leppard, funny how they label def leppard as Metal, when they are rock.

[jr231231]

@engxiong1980 Def Leppard is Hair Metal, so yeah, it's not funny, there's many sub-genres inside heavy metal.

[engxiong1980]

@jr231231 Wow! Never heard of that one either. Hair Metal?? Really?? Ok good to know! Must stand for barely Metal. Their Pyromania album was the only album close to metal if u added the double kick drums. So yea, when u say Def Lep is Metal, it does sound funny. Theyre my fav band, they to me are ROCK! ROCK TIL YA DROP!

[engxiong1980]

@mike67098 And yes, I dont know music these days anymore, too many mixtures. I almost forgot about metalcore and hardcore punk. Who even listens to those type of music these days?? All im saying is, come out screaming, good guitar riffs and vocals, Its music to my ears.

[noscore1]

i like it. THATS THE GAYEST THING YOU EVER WROTTEN! XD

[PurpleAsh8]

I love how he got all shy when they're talking about HIM...)))

[carty100]

Who cares what his ethnic origin is? Slash's mother is black...Who gives a fuck??

[Youudu]

@TheFungis100 Daylight Dies

[Hirimo2]

Does anyone else get the impression that he might be related to the choclate rain guy they have that same powerful voice attribute xD

[Killswitchfan11]

If Howard Jones had a breakfast show I would watch it every day.

[TheRevKnifeMaster]

@sebek755 i believe its Daylight dies

[TheVazorlaser]

@TheRevKnifeMaster yes it is

[sebek755]

Song from 0:00 to 0:55?

[bladeofsarrow]

@sebek755 As Daylight Dies

[adi116]

i bet he'd be great at screaming freestyle flows. jus sayin.

[SufferTheMasses]

Did he really say everyone in the band loves H.I.M? there talking about love songs and such.

[ieatwiteoutforfun]

Fucking badass.

[TheFlashhead]

rage against the machine is awsome! but KSE is the description of awsomeness! :D

[IAmAFreakinBAMF]

I am very angered by the fact that the info box literally says "Video-interview shooted." Really? REALLY? ....

[koryakapelinal333]

@IAmAFreakinBAMF Well the channel is RoadrunnerItaly so obviously english isn't their first language.

[death1852]

just because his light skin dosen't mean his half white there those black people who are way way lighter than him like me and am not even quater white but wata fuck like i say DON'T JURGE PEOPLE BY THERE COLOR BUT BY THERE BEHAVIORS

[AlucardFanboy8745]

I don't even like KSE but this guy exudes coolness.

[red2house1]

@GaleBlack yeah like the guy from Sevendust who is an amazing singer by the way

[HALOGLITCHES43]

howard jones and tommy vext were the best african american metal vocalists ever

[TheBryntabaird]

just because your black or African American dose not mean you can't do metal proof Howard Jones"

[6dark6wings6]

this is not Howard Jones

[randomlimit27]

@6dark6wings6 its howard jones from killswitch engage man not the old white guy you were prolly looking for lol.

[IAmAFreakinBAMF]

@6dark6wings6 Yeah. Yeah it is. It's not the boring white Howard Jones that sucks ass. It's the kick ass Howard Jones!

[KineticOwl]

Only problem I have with this video is that the interviewer is quiet compared to Howard so subtitles or the interviewer talking louder would be nice. It's not good for the ears when you have to jack the volume up for one voice then Howard's voice is super loud. Consistency would be nice is all I'm saying.

[KineticOwl]

@KineticOwl Ok so I turned the volume up and Howard's voice wasn't super loud as I said but still, consistency would be nice. You should be able to hear both people talking at any given volume where one of them is loud enough to hear.

[BIgGary1000]

To find out Rose was written that fast, WOW that's all i got to say i love rose

[loosifur]

he,s half nigro half white boy i think

[SSJ6shadowGoku]

HIM is kickass too im surprised Howard and the dudes like HIM.

[SSJ6shadowGoku]

I cant wait for Killswitch Engage's new album this year its gunna be bitchin'

[papan1990]

he doesn't have that black accent.... he has the general american accent....cool

[SSJ6shadowGoku]

@papan1990 That's cause he's only half black

[papan1990]

@SSJ6shadowGoku oh....didnt know that

[LunaVarga13]

@Comote99 They're Italian. :)

[fenderteledeluxe72]

Is this guy black or white I can't tell someone please tell me! I NEED TO KNOW!

[AWEntertainmentTV]

@fenderteledeluxe72 He's white with the greatest tan in the world! lol he's black.

[theksefan77]

@AWEntertainmentTV isnt he half black and half white? idk thats wat i thot



[iliketoaty]

@fenderteledeluxe72 hes black

[nounever]

@fenderteledeluxe72 Both he is a mulatto or if you think that term is offensive he is mixed.

[rseagles14]

@fenderteledeluxe72 He's african american.

[x0xDarthWyylokx0x]

i have a man crush on Howard Jones... is this a good thing? must be :3

[xxbloodstainedlovexx]

@x0xDarthWyylokx0x So do I!!!!!!!

[extremities9]

On My Curse -

Adam D : " I like it..... that's the GAYEST thing you've ever written!"

Howard Jones : I told you!

[zeuseugene]

"i like it....thats the gayest song you've ever written". LMAO LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Cutlin024]

Howard Jones is THE SHIT!! No one will ever be better!

[JanIsBoy5]

luv this man..i'm a chick so it's not that weird :P

[DiabloDave363]

metalcore accept he can sing. wow thts rare. wat should i look into by them?

[stigno89]

@DiabloDave363 my fave KsE songs are My Curse, My Last Serenade, Arms Of Sorrow, Wasted Sacrifice, Numbered Days and End Of Heartache

[FrescoDaMan]

@DiabloDave363 the end of heartache or as daylight dies. both really kickass

[camotoe99]

dat lady has a very sexy accent...is it russian?? poland??

Howard is Cool

[slapshot4151]

theyre songs dont suck..theyre just easy to learn.. i learned all theyre songs in 3 days.. and i couldve in 2 if i stayed really dedicated to it. so hes not an INSANE guitarist, although he is good, but they songs dont suck by anymeans. theyre the best. Killswitch forever!

[VexonCAEU]

Howard Jones doesn't sound like Seth Rogen, Seth Rogen sounds like Howard Jones

[Frankengelsvoll]

@VexonCAEU Nailed it



[MilitiaMackMusic]

Every Song in 2 days .. WOah !!!

Howard Has One Of The Best Voices Ever !!!!

[shawni0010]

He sounds so much like Seth Rogen lol

[Kingopersia]

we're just....a bunch of guys XD

[supralord12]

hey theres my dad

[blahpop100]

@supralord12 lol

[stigno89]

the sexiest black man in metal!!!! lmao adam D is a legend

[blahpop100]

@stigno89 HELLLLL YESSS!!!

[Jjiigsaww]

@stigno89 lol one of the only black men in metal

[VileVengeance]

@Jjiigsaww There are a lot more black people in Metal than you think? One of them happens to be one of the top 3 guitarist right now and easily one of the best of all time

[VileVengeance]

@VileVengeance *Than you think

[ndc18]

@stigno89 He's black?

[jeleopard]

@ndc18

His name is Howard Jones! That better not be serious :|

[Drummin555]

@ndc18 yes

[GaleBlack]

@stigno89 That has nothing to do with the fact that he is the only black man in the metal industry of course

[stigno89]

@GaleBlack he's not the only one, there are plenty of black singers/musicians in metal

[bladeofsarrow]

@stigno89 The sexiest black man over-all

[24trivium]

im just kind of a mello guy......yyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

[spark1601]

UNCLE PHILL:D LOL

[DevilsInjector]

You listen to his screams and you wouldn't expect him to have such a well spoken voice. Not saying all metal singers are dumbasses or anything. But you wouldn't expect that. Such a noble voice.

[blahpop100]

@DevilsInjector lol yeahh

[bobjrj101]

The interviewer sucks! haha, Howard is a pretty badass guy xD

[NathanielAdams2010]

etreme love songs 666

[Z3lda4ever]

he has such a nomadic voice

[konothecook]

@Z3lda4ever FUCK YOU!!

[SPYDRxz]

he is the black seth rogen

[McSlapped]

Holy Diver FTW

[cmanclan101]

@McSlapped you do know that Holy Diver is a Dio song, and killswitch just covered it a few years ago...right?

[McSlapped]

@cmanclan101 Yes of course I know that, why

[SKATERPROX64]

@Heavyrocker2009. Either way idc if he is, Howard is amazing

[SKATERPROX64]

Who cares that he's black, quit it with this tlracism crap. Howard the shot now, we are lucky to actually have a guy this talented and a unique style

[heavyrocker2009]

@SKATERPROX64 Even Adam said that they r unique cuz their singer is black

[TheCaber789]

a black dude that sounds white awesome

[chrispanik]

@TheCaber789 how u think he sounds white its beyond me.i think its just in ur head

[bennyboy273yeah]

his voice reminds me of Seth Rogen

[BigMPChris]

Dude there is no way that some of their songs dont have deeper social meaning...or even political. Either that, or they are ascendent and don't realize it.

[futurewwestar]

damn it i 4got the name of the song @ the begining

[InexplicableRage]

@futurewwestar as daylight dies

[JoeFGale]

love this band also i wonder if any ones ever told howard and seth that they look like eachother?

[BloodofAGentleman]

@JoeFGale and sound the same too.

[SkilletFan2002]

a black dude that rocks :)

[Ace2021]

interviewer sounds sexy

[bubbie524828]

His face sort of resembles Seth Rogan at times during this video. Very strange

[Guitarplayer5415]

@bubbie524828 he even talks like Seth Rogan its very strange

[GeldJohnPerk]

Dude fuck it if its Howard or Phil singing, neither of them make Killswitch, it all of them, Howard, Adam, Joel, Mike, Justin AND Philip. It doesnt matter, they both get payed, and they all KICK FUCKIN ASS! ! ! K.S.E. FOR LIFE!

[CareyBeaufordPortnoy]

just my opinion, im a huge killswitch fan, and it was my first killswitch show, and i still had an amazing time with phil instead of howard. adam, joel, mike, and justin were all there.

[420metalfuckinable69]

i can understand that without tha vocalist its def not tha same but phils great too idk i prob wouldnt go if it was my first show casue i would wana see tha band not tha band with phil

[codied93]

im missing there next concert because i wanna see howard not philip

[enternalinferno]

dude, i agree that codied93 opinion is stupid, but howard is pretty awesome and he is more of the show than 20%.

[kevindimepantera666]

fuck u howard has the voice of a thousand fallen angels so go choke on a dick and die

[ricflairrocks20]

FUCK YEAH!

[ricflairrocks20]

Same here.

[Byreka]

Love the dude, love the band even more!

[Jokerizbadass]

i want to see them in concert so bad!

[Mrfcordero]

whats this song called in the begining

[xFourty2x]

as daylight dies

[fatclicks666]

fuck'it! i ak from , poland..i love you

[Kiee5777]

this dude is a prick

[aethrio]

Just think about it, he kinda looks like a black version of Jason from Ghost Hunters. Am i right or did I just make myself look like a dumbass?

[Aquaboy99]

hahaha :D I like it!... That's probably the gayest thing you've ever writen! :D

[fencer1089]

he does sound like seth rogan ftw!!!!!!

[engxiong1980]

These guys ROCK. Just wished they start doing Killer guitar solos!!!

[jamedlin]

same here

[8yearsahead]

i love howard. im alot like him when it comes to writing. i can write stuff in 20mins most of the time less. but sometimes it can take me hours on end. it depends on what im writing about.

[theif519]

I've got all of the albums that he has been in, As Daylight Dies, End of Heartache, Killswitch Engage(2009 Album), Spirals, I Dwell On Thoughts Of You, and Novella of Uriel, and I must say he's better in Blood Has Been Shed.

[ariseohsleeper]

these dudes are all my musical inspiration keep the records coming

[AsDyingILay]

ahh i love chicks with accents.

Totally fuckin turn-on.

[nemesisuprising]

lol i write songs from 10-15 minutes with a slight revision if needed so me and him are a draw foem the same well (lol just made that shit up)

[donutroll82]

these guys are my hero's and my musical inspirations.

[fromgiltolast]

howard jones is the shit dude

[ndc18]

He's black

[chancrovoraz]

you're probably gay, and we're not critizicing you right?

[BlaqMetal813]

Oh, like you've never seen a black person before?

[codied93]

lol

[MitchKarar1411]

I got there albums,,,, as day light dies, and the end of heartache hes a great singer but i also beg jesse teams up with him

[Jelloxox]

Dude his voice is powerful. I love their band. Some good shit

[reckLES65802]

this guy is a goobatard

[Erkal2006]

Is Howard bigging up RATM?

GO HOWARD!!! Up another notch in my book, that makes it around notch 1,000,000

[TheVickrey]

great band

[lowrider0423]

what's that song it's sick

[Jammers4LifeJL]

[ryanthebaker]

@lowrider0423 Either Daylight Dies or My Curse... Not sure which you're talking about...

[MedalToThePedals]

my curse as he previously mentioned

[k5lta]

Howard can sing...man he can sing

[sequeira0511]

GREATEST VOCALIST

[XI0Corporations]

...EVER...

[lilpeaceacrap]

no and why did you ask that

[only1timeful]

in the video he said adam d said that it was the gayest thing he ever wrote. and he said thanks or somethin like that. I wasnt meaning it as an insult, killswitch engage is one of my favorite bands.

[lilpeaceacrap]

oh ok sorry

[only1timeful]

its all good i was just wondering. im glad he isnt but when i heard that i was like wtf?

[peteSPACE92]

@lilpeaceacrap he is reffering to morphiaz in the matrix, in the scene where he chooses whether or not to actually use his powers i guess

[Toolband42O]

@only1timeful How can that not be taken as a question? And no, hes not gay. That's just Adam, fuckin crazy dude who really doesn't give a shit

[chilton14]

what is the name of the opening song?

[ZomgundeadJimmy]

Daylight Dies - KSE
