Week 4 of asking: do trash or pass mudvayne (dig)

[@jjperez1]

Awesome song. It was featured on the 2nd Resident Evil film.

[@adamsingh7262]

Please do more kill switch engage, they have so many good songs

[@richmindz2020]

Hey I'm reaching out for video reactions I believe you have the channel that is perfect for my music I also hit your email and Instagram 😂 let me know the bizz and let's work

[@Toonarmy12]

can you do ome more light by linkin park

[@riccochet704]

Howard Jones was trained in classical signing and opera. The man can SING! He can also scream like no one else. Long live Howard!

[@leileyaravencroft]

Just like David Draiman. He was classically trained too

[@christianhackl474]

@leileyaravencroft except that Howard's screams are way better and harsher and more of a SCREAM than David's "screaming/yelling". But yeah I get what you mean, both are great singers/vocalists and greatly trained

[@noteveryonesbad3912]

​@@christianhackl474no

[@Grover91]

He wasn't classically trained at opera. What makes you say that?

[@BPoked]

I can’t remember what exact video but he literally says everyone always thinks/says he has opera background but he has none whatsoever. It may have been on one of Jared dines videos but I could be wrong

[@travy9148]

Man Howard Jones got me through some dark times in my life. The Howard Jones era of Killswitch Engage will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@SalsburyTorso]

Man idk if I would of survived highschool without Howard and Killswitch, I was so upset when he left the band

[@chhh8057]

Agreed, his voice man....just amazing.

[@sarka555]

Yeah, his voice is iconic to the band

[@kenny240]

Howard WAS Killswitch for a lot of us. Dude knows exactly how to reach that spot in our souls. His current project with Jarod Dines is pretty good too, Sion. He’s still got that killer voice.

[@ShadowSlayerSD5]

Yes

[@TheSoberDoc_]

You've GOT to do the full version of this song, it's got like 90% of the soul of the song. This radio edit is good, but yer missing out on a lot

[@TheSoberDoc_]

Also, definitely recommend you looking into Rose of Sharyn, its a song about his mother. It's heavy, but the lyrics are fantastic

[@BeansMcGriddle]

​@@TheSoberDoc_I second this a thousand times over. The lyrics in that context hit the feels.

[@BeansMcGriddle]

Yes this version doesn't due the original justice

[@walahmelons5504]

@@TheSoberDoc_ My dad took me to see them live in 2009 & I knew nothing about the band. They played Rose of Sharyn live. My dad passed in 2021 & I cannot listen to Rose of Sharyn anymore without crying a river because of that memory with him. The song has so much emotion it's crazy.

[@kingexclusivo]

This version is better tbh. The full one has too much screaming for someone like him to like.

[@Gremlack13]

Kill switch with Howard is peak. The end of heartache album is their greatest work. Howard is amazing on vocals combined with Adam D’s guitar stylings, they are unstoppable.

[@raymondharnack4160]

Leech and jones are both amazing. Saw KSE with light the torch last year in Detroit….Jones came out and did all his bangers and gave leech a break then they did signal fire…. I about died from joy….

[@ReiKoko]

@@raymondharnack4160 I last KSE live when Howard still fronted. I would absolutely die if I could see both him and Jesse perform together, especially The Signal Fire.

[@iphone777]

I’m so glad I saw them live twice so I could see a Howard and a Jessie show.

[@ChrisUlrich]

I’ve seen them live 17 times. Both with Jesse and Howard. Howard is on a different level. Nearly the 20 anniversary for this song too! Still amazing

[@terrancecaad915]

I prefer Howard over Jesse but like both a lot. I think it was “light the torch” is where he went after KSE and it’s still great

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

Howard wra KSE live is my favorite live band ever ! Absolutely incredible live.

[@steelers_pride1973]

My fav killswitch song of all time

[@Chrissy-en5pd]

Man the shivers he got at “THIS DISTANCE” universal experience

[@SadwichPunch2100]

You need to see the live version. It's awesome to hear the whole crowd sing along.

[@jakemaness4851]

Yes I agree!!! The live video is just amazing!!!! Layed Bak you have to review that video!

[@downrighttt]

That concert is still embedded in the walls of The Palladium to this day

[@Greysox11ljs]

What’s poppin! Let’s get it. Christmas time means layedbak time. How can you be depressed when this man brings the energy. Love you bro. Thank you for your videos.

[@thegoddesshelheim5257]

HE FINALLY LISTENED TO THIS HOLY FUCK! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FUCKING MOMENT

[@xxtacowagonxx]

Howard live is just like studio. Lot of high energy in the crowd and stage. I saw them 3 times back when he was the lead man.

[@jordanashford7521]

Killswitch Engage is so insane to see live. I got to see them at Rockfest 2014 in Kansas City right before Korn. It was absolutely incredible.

[@JayandLiza]

Their concerts sound exactly like this, one of the few bands that can pull off the actual recording quality in their live shows! ...and added bonus mosh pits 🔥

[@Hollyucinogen]

Dude, check out Alice In Chains! They sound the same live as they do in their recording, too. 🤟

[@walahmelons5504]

Killswitch Engage while Howard was still in the band was my very first concert ever back in 2009 & my intro into metalcore. The show was absolutely incredible. I had not heard of them before going to the concert, but man they put on such a memorable show that I will NEVER forget it. Howard to this day remains my favorite vocalist to exist in the metalcore scene. The End of Heart Ache, As Daylight Days, and their Second self-named Album that he helped create when he was in the band all have a very very very important place in my heart.

[@shortlivedglory3314]

Saw them live three times 2008-2010. They were one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Howard Jones has such an incredible presence and energy live.

[@v3n0mzz]

Album version is so much better but still a 🔥 song!

[@GauldenBoi]

3:02 "That's called bravado I think." 😂😂

[@DylboBaggins92]

I’m glad someone else caught that 😂

[@thegooniverse495]

Man, you are missing out by not catching the live version of this. Not just because you can see me in the crowd, but because it was amazing!!!!!! One of the best recorded shows I have ever heard.

[@FluffyThieves]

I saw them live almost TWENTY YEARS ago and it was siiick

[@Scuba_Bro]

I love this band so much…They are so much fun to watch live! I got to meet their guitar player Adam D and he was such a nice guy to all the fans that waited after the show to meet them! Great band and a total class act!

[@lukestark3]

One of my favourite bands! Welcome firesquad 😎

[@lukestark3]

They're sooo much heavier live 😍 seen them about 4 times

[@TTV.krypticlogik]

Their concerts are amazzzzzing and super hyped howard and adam give everything they got

[@ian3829]

they let me and my friends into their show in Winnipeg in like 2007 because we brought a copy of a goofy ass horror movie they loved. good dudes, and great music. thanks for checking them out

[@Hollyucinogen]

Excellent story, my fellow metal-head. Rock on. 🤟 (Also, hi; I'm Canadian, too - Ottawa).

[@brosephbalin6568]

They're incredibly clean and skilled live, the singer is a real talent. They bring a lot of humor and fun energy too.

[@legendkiller625]

I saw them back in 2008 (I think?) with the sickest lineup I've ever had at any concert I've ever been to. It was Chimaira, Lacuna Coil, Killswitch Engage, and the headliner was Disturbed. Bar none, best concert I've ever been to. And that's saying a lot considering I've been to a lot more concerts since then and it still tops my list. lol.

[@Hollyucinogen]

Wow, that does sound like it was an awesome show. I'm lowkey jealous. 😩 🤟

[@maxxdoutt3585]

The fact the video came with the all clean vocals always annoyed me. Helps push mainstream appeal maybe, but Howard’s maybe got the best scream in metal history.

[@LornFortheForlorn]

facts

[@LornFortheForlorn]

but his clean vocals are so iconic too, listening to it post-death hits hard af

[@khaos3690]

I've listened to this song a thousand times and this is the first time I've heard the radio edit. Like other comments suggest.. it's missing so much of the soul and pain of the original.

[@Physicism]

Same, the original is a thousand times better! Where are the screams??

[@ajquinones965]

I saw them in concert in Chicago and he sounds just like this in concert. Top 3 best concert I've been to.

[@elfhchan]

I attended their concert in 2019 in London but with Jesse as their frontman... Their live stages can't be explained, you just have to be there to experience the energy they have as a group, the way the fans react to the songs, etc. But one thing I can say is that I never thought when I first listened to them while watching Resident Evil, that they could be this amazing live! Howard was, is, and will forever be such an integral part of the group, whether he is there singing or not, it doesn't matter. He is super dope and such a talented vocalist!

[@Hollyucinogen]

That's how I discovered them, too - during the end credits of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse". 🤟

[@elfhchan]

@@Hollyucinogen I love that for us!!!

[@ghostzyden]

My first concert was headlined by Killswitch Engage and All That Remains and Bury Your Dead at a small venue in Colorado Springs called the Black Sheep. It was a dope experience. Bury Your Dead had some insane stage presence back then too, definitely should check out their live dvd "Bury Your Dead Alive" when you get the chance. It really highlights how energetic a lot of these shows were back then.

[@alexanderzadoroznyj]

There’s so much missing to this song without the intensity of Howard Jones’ screaming.

[@justin555666]

Man I’ve been waiting for the end of my broken heart for 20 years, but it always helps to hear this song.

[@TripleBMike]

I 1st heard this through the ending credit song on Resident Evil Apocalypse! Still listen to this awesome headbanger!

[@kalmah650]

I saw them last year for Metal Blade Anniversary here in Vegas and they were really good. Had a huge mosh pit that got out of hand. The guitar player got off stage and walk himself to the bar while still playing and got himself a beer and walk back to the stage. He is know for doing that. They dont have that singer anymore. They got their old singer back but even still they put on a great show.

[@Crackoneopen]

Great choice Patreon. Keep up the top class reactions my guy.

[@iluvfupaburgers]

Even though I loved hearing Jesse coming back to KSE, Howard holds a special place, he is just a GOAT, amazing vocals, energy and feelings. Everytime I listen to Howard, I just get goosebumps for how good he is

[@sG_Chimera]

This song will never get stale for me. So much emotion

[@therealestmcc0y]

Saw them open up for Disturbed back in 2009. What a show all around, man. God, i love metal \m/

[@scarryman199]

I saw them on the Taste of Chaos tour twice back in like '04 or '05! it was amazing! Howard sounds AMAZING live! He was able to pick up where Jesse left off perfectly with the band! I love the Howard Jones Era! The crowd was intence, I lost my shoe in the pit and fell down and my budy had to drag me out while I dragged my shoe out with my bare foot! We strapped back up and went right back in! Those were good times!

[@ChocolateFishBrains]

I've seen these guys perform live a couple times now and it's truly a sight to behold. They're amazing artists and performers.

[@GregHardy-fn5hs]

I can tell you that these were the craziest and most emotional shows I've ever been to! Laughing, screaming, crying, joy, rage, everything all in one.❤

[@GuidoMonster90]

If you want to see what a concert looks like check out the live version of this song on the set the world a blaze tour

[@brandonjones1896]

I was st a concert in Massachusetts, amazing. They have it on KZbin. I still have it on dvd

[@jeffalexander7865]

In 2018, I saw them twice in one year! This is actually a watered down version of the song but it’s still lit. Their concerts though, are absolutely amazing and energetic!

[@rosequinn7022]

you seem like someone who would be a good good time to go to a concert with! Glad you are back and doing well! Appreciate you!

[@Ediicius]

man this is great. ive been on killswitch my whole life. its great to see ppl finding metal core. youll find all kinds of artists and bands that speak to your soul. In concert they are insane. whole joint bumping

[@Alex-hr1ml]

Howard Jones is one of the Singers of our era. He's no longer in the band, but from that álbum "this is absolution" is another gem. You should listen "Drown" from one of his new bands Sion. Howard never dissapoints. 🖤

[@TOBYSoap]

Ive seen these guys 3 times live, the first time I accidently got caught in a quick forming pit and I got knocked out and they stopped the show to carry me out :P I got free tickets for their next show they did and that was the 2nd time I got to see them! :) Their shows are INSANE! and they sound JUST as good live!

[@iamgalaxies]

Howard Jones will always be my favorite lead of KSE. That man was with my through the good and the bad growing up.

[@yankeedude252]

I've seen them live. It was incredible, and this song in particular- at times, the crowd was louder than the band, singing along. That's saying something at a metal show, where it's so loud you have to scream as loud as you can directly in your friend's ear if you need to tell them something.

[@davidmcginnis16]

Aaaaagh the band that started my music learning journey. Feckin luv them. So many fire tunes

[@meechborrello3433]

Awesome. Seem em live in a small town venue. Incredible. My ears were ringing for almost a week😆

[@wearanter1]

Been to their concert back in 2000s, they were everything!

[@josephshepard2962]

Hello there Mr. LayedBakDFR. First off, congratulations on 2.53 million subscribers. Well done! This is honestly the first time I've come across your channel, and it was a thrill to watch this video. I was rocking out right along side you. I've been a big fan of Killswitch Engage for over 20 years at this point. I've seen them in concert several times, and yes, it's an amazing, crazy, and LOUD show every single time. The guys have written a ton of great songs over the years (fun fact: Adam, one of the guitar players, attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston). I'm glad you enjoyed "The End of Heartache." It's one of the band's best known songs and is a concert staple. Howard Jones is a fantastic singer, no question about it. He left Killswitch Engage back in 2012 due to health reasons (he has type 2 diabetes), but he and the band members are all good friends to this very day. He is still active in the music industry, and last I knew, he was in a band called Light the Torch. Rock on buddy! \m/ \m/

[@aaron-damonkassner4715]

Yep! And he almost committed suicid* back in 2009 cuz he was getting popular and raising to fame. Later on got anxiety

[@Jennamarie8286]

They are AMAZING live! It's one of the best shows I've ever seen!!!! Every member is steller in their own regards!!! ❤❤❤

[@Rareforms710]

you gotta do the live dvd version of this song. the crowd participation goes hard

[@thecainer64]

Their concerts are absolutely a wall of amazingly powerful music. Power and Melody collide!

[@murdaface55]

I have been to a few of KE concerts and they are sick on stage. Highly recommend them for sure.

[@dead_and_devine1505]

Vibrato not Bravado. I made the same mistake awhile back haha. They were part of the first show I ever went to which was when this song was new, shit was wild.

[@L4rceny]

Probably the best concert I've been to. Up by the stage isnt for the faint of heart. It gets rowwwwwdyyy. The only way i can describe it, is it feels like getting pushed around by ocean waves, except the waves are people. I Introduced my friend to crowd surfing for the first time, and we were on the front line for the "wall of death" (the crowd gets split down the middle, and just charges, braveheart style, when the song drops.) during Rose of sharyn. Howard stage dived and my friend and I caught him. During their first song Adam popped right up to us on the front row and just said so nonchalantly "Whats up? How yall doin?", and made similar small talk throughout the whole show. Unforgettable night. Memories that'll last a lifetime.

[@Fallz.89]

Love seeing you feeling the music my dude! Love your vids man. Keep em coming. Much love, brother

[@CrippledMerc]

I’ve seen KSE live a handful of times and they never disappoint. Howard Jones is also incredibly kind and appreciative to his fans, especially if you get the chance to speak to him personally. He definitely knows how to handle a crowd as well, and he welcomes and encourages crowd participation. The live version of this song gives a good glimpse into that aspect of their live performances as the crowd joins together to sing along with him. Anytime you’re in an audience like that the feeling is electric as you all come together as one voice led by Howard. I honestly can’t say enough nice things about them. They’re one of my favorite bands of all time.

[@bassguitarislife3419]

For real. I’ve seen them twice, once with both singers each. Excited to see them again when I get a chance!

[@fabiomagalhaes7292]

Rose of Sharyn is also a great display of Howard's voice!

[@Teeko67]

I've been to 3 of their shows. 2 with Jesse and 1 with both Howard (singer in the video) and Jesse and it was amazing each time. Their show is so much better live! No let downs at all like you get sometimes in person. Howards vocals were soooooo amazing live

[@jeffprice7474]

See them live and it was my favorite show I've been to One of my favorite bands ever

[@theSASTA]

Still to this day one of those songs when coming along on my playlist I NEVER SKIP

[@clyderatliff6867]

I been to 4 or 5 of their concerts and it's a good time. The band is great and the fans are hype. Good times.

[@mdott93]

I've seen them I think 3 or 4 times, as recently as this past June (different singer though) and their energy is insane!

[@DimiusG]

Can confirm, they're concerts are insane! Our crowd knocked over a whole Rockstar Energy Float that the venue had the misfortune of placing in the middle of the grass pit haha

[@georgiossirgoudis9207]

Glad you did this reaction,I love this band and this song so much 🤟💥😘🔥

[@rodneymoore6393]

Bro I seen them at Kansas City Rock Fest and it was amazing. They jammed out and the crowd was so electric. I've been a fan of theirs for well over a decade.

[@Alaws32]

Imo Howard is one of the best screamers in rock. His mix of clean and scream is what sold me on this band years ago.

[@FaCePlaNt_4_YAHUSHA]

This song is so fun to play on guitar. I love this tune. As well as fixation on the darkness, always, life to lifeless,rose of sharon.. there are so many good songs from KSE.

[@jeremytelman6897]

KSE is one of if not the best concerts I’ve ever seen! They are so freaking good! They not only go nuts onstage and put on a killer show, but the absolute incredible tones, audio quality and technical skill live is almost second to none.

[@heresjohnny58]

Pass like a mf, his deep ass voice is exactly what I need sometimes.

[@24Elssinore]

This song was so legendary in 2006. EVERYONE and their mama wanted to go see them live because of this song. And when they did it was like the Roman coliseum.

[@shadowninja7]

I went to there concert like 10 plus years ago and the lead singer jumped off the 15ft tall speakers into the crowd, I have never seen another singer do something that crazy. It took him a hot minute to get back on the stage.😊

[@Property_DamagePSN]

Their concerts have been some of the most energetic performances ive ever seen from the artists, but more importantly from the attendees, ive seen them several times but only ever with Jesse as the front man and he still does the song justice, my buddy took me to see them for the first time not really knowing their stuff, they opened for Lamb of God..that show was top 3 best concerts ive ever been to, a small venue of maybe 3000 people but it was just one massive mosh pit together in this little theatre, luckily we sat in the mezzanine and we had a birds eye view of it all watching the crowd surfers go one after another and the crowd chanting along to the music, me and my buddy still talk about it to this day over 10years later, most concerts nowadays just arent the same

[@RipeSteel]

I saw them a few times and have to say that each time they sounded amazing live!

[@37ud3]

One of my favorite reactors doing one of my favorite KSE songs? Here for it. I'm liking the shorter format on the videos, too.

[@DARKYOUTUBEYT]

I went their concert, Met Adam D too. I was stoked! Had such a good time, I'll never forget it!

[@travistesluk3986]

You’ve opened up a rabbit hole. Lol you gotta check out more from these guys, you will NOT be disappointed once.

Howard Jones was always my favorite Killswitch lead singer. Incredible voice. It's a shame he had to step away from the band for his health.

[@ruff1draft]

What is the matter with his health and how is he doing these days

[@MrDoomedFaith]

He has diabetes that was made worse from touring, he was in a coma for 3 days at one point. He also suffers from depression and almost killed himself but was stopped by a wellness check called by his neighbors back in the late 2000's. I believe he is doing better these days. @@ruff1draft
