Killswitch Engage 03 Fixation On The Darkness (live NY 2002)

Recorded in Brooklyn NY with Jesse on vocals, on their first American tour. Enjoy!

[@manismostlywater]

One of the best metal songs

[@iceychill101]

God its still an argument? Jesse even said he hates it when people compare or argue who is better... Listen to the awesome music they are both freaking amazing period.

[@maaraa01]

Holy shit!! Invisible drummer!!!

[@diablow1411]

The video quality is hella nostalgic alongside sound. The bass drum sounds like keyboard clicking 😂

[@gabrielmendez5655]

😢😢😢😢 this brought me to tears. The memories and the beginning of an era. So glad I got to encounter the beauty of music and meat these lovely guys iver the years. ❤❤❤❤

[@blackserpiente]

This is why kse is Jesse... Passion, feeling, rage...

[@random-artifacts]

This band and this live video changed my life when I first saw it as a kid.

[@remx15]

i love adam...he is so nuts

[@Clewayze]

JESSE'S LYRICS HAVE MORE MEANING. HANDS DOWN.

[@TheFinisher669]

No and so what?

[@ogbee9690]

Not sure I agree. Rose of Sharyn is more heartfelt than most Jesse songs imo

[@HoldtheLine21]

​@@ogbee9690 Most of Howard's lyrics are bullshit and just crying for a girl that doesn't even exist

[@inelement]

Alive or Just Breathing best album of KSE however. great song!

[@jacksvocals]

damn, posted 14 years ago today. le nostalgia for 2006, this brings back a lotta memories

[@cmc47834]

dude i love the first cd out of em all just barley breathing is a amazing song

[@morjens111]

awesome performance :) Love the old KSE, doesnt change the fact that they still rock!

[@DJCarnage84]

There so good even when there was yoing, ish, just killng it!!!!!!!!

[@pain4day]

Do you see how much Jesse is in to the music? You can see it in his eyes. As in the start, Adam tries to joke with him but he just shake his head and focus on the music instead. I liked Howard before but now I miss Jesse very much. Much better screamer and song writer, it sounds pure when he perfomence.

[@jordanstuck747]

Both of these vocalists are bad ass

[@scottkingsley6905]

Joel kills me in this man

[@danfortino4540]

This video IS nostalgia

[@mt201013]

people need 2 quit argueing and sayin who is better and sayin they want jesse back! it is so stupid!! he's not comin back! deal w/it!!!

[@icemandestroys07]

jesse is a god, he's the best kse singer period!!!! he 's a better screamer,growler and for some reason seems to be way underestimated at singing and did i mention his stage presence and intensity is over the top

[@rossapher24]

HAHAHA adam D ROCKIN da Strat!! WTF LOL Good shit! Love old KsE

[@user-xr6lt7ed2p]

Squire broke boi shit lol been there

[@jonykakuyo]

I'm honestly a Howard fan because I heard his stuff first but I'll admit, Jesse's stuff is good too

[@onedeath7]

I wish I could of been there! Jesse is the best.

[@tkoillusion]

very true.

[@ianstanley3754]

They made history

[@xxnarnarnarxx]

Yeah I love both their stuff. What you have to remember is that Jesse is just a soulful singer and Howard is a trained as fuck vocalist. Jesse himself said he had terrible technique. But I think he sounds amazing.

[@itssti]

such a great live band

[@CKaphwan]

Dichosos los que pudieron estar en un concierto de KSE con Jesse como vocalista!

[@-.-okay]

Portishead shirt. Respect

[@noobcola]

ohhhh yeahhhh

[@snapascrew]

i couldnt agree more!

[@liljimmyurine09]

yes he is

[@bce5150]

"because they have single coil pickups." Adam is using a humbucker in his strat, it's just the size of a single coil. Something like a seymour duncan hot rail, but im not sure if that's exactly what it is

[@sKratchglfr]

AWESOME>>>Cheers claret for this!!

[@chamo8888]

yeahhh jesse n. one

[@midihc]

wow. amazing!

[@ruptured3296]

Killswitch Engage will always be the best Metalcore band right next to old school Parkway Drive 👌👍✊✊

[@quentinbohannon4089]

You can think that but their other bands that's good to I like killswitch engage and parkway drive but I wont say your comment is the best.

[@ruptured3296]

Mate KSE and Parkway drive are the best Metalcore bands fuck your new age metalcore bands.

[@RegurgiNate84]

Adam D produced Killing With A Smile

[@1fetoch1ful]

awesome clip

[@rhemax8]

i wish KSE still had this kind of energy like they had with jesse

[@xSOILBORNx]

Check out Jesse's new band The Empire Shall Fall!!!! My most anticpated album of the year, due out this summer!!!

[@OraleEse]

@ShadowCrowX no it isnt.. there were actually 2 drum sets. the drums is behind joel 0:23

[@BrianYagerBrokerAssociate]

Bad Ass Jesse!!

[@aliceinchains898]

[@RebelGaming4U]

aliceinchains898 didn't see him until camera moved to Joel lol

[@KicCam508]

GHOST DRUMMER :oooo

[@Riffoftheday]

[@aftrthejake6843]

[@tTenKay]

I’ve watch this for year and I’m now just wondering lmao

[@Hugobianca]

BEST Killswitch Engage ever, jesse is way better....

[@GTMjo]

[@WarriorSacrifice777]

Jesse's new band The Empire Shall Fall is sweet too check them out!

[@BiGreDNoSecoMpAny]

wow adam had some killer moves going on at that time xD 1:05 hell yeah \m/

[@bigdavid351]

THAT is metal.

[@anfegoro669]

The original ❤❤❤❤

[@AlmostProGaming]

agreed

[@1jmccarthy1]

Jesse rules, he just gave everything into every song, such a shame he had to leave, and required throat surgery, howard rules aswell but i feel jesse is much better, and KsE were heavier then which i prefure aswell, alive or just breathing is still their best album.

[@GoldenMusician]

I couldn't agree more. However, the upcoming band jesse is in "The empire shall fall" has some pretty good songs..

[@C19B19]

Yh it is him

[@user-dilsh]

Люблю ранних Killswitch Engage

[@rossapher24]

@sikthoholic It was actually Mike who started the band. Heres the story, if Adam hadn't recruited Jesse from "Corrin" then Adam would have recruited his brother, Toby, from "Aftershock" to be the vocalist for Killswitch .....and that would have just been a disaster and they would have never been picked up by Roadrunner. Jus tan FYI: Mike started the band and recruited Adam. Adam recruited joel, jesse and tom. Jesse left/ howard joined. Tom left/ Howard recruited Justin.

[@nilesmc]

wow.

[@Spookysteph94]

ahh i miss jesse but howard is amazing too i love them both

[@3tch3r]

Yeah ;P

[@kuto66]

yeah great songg :)

[@1234rhys]

yeh i noticed that one its amasing

[@Archetype3]

The strat looks little with Adam playing it haha, and Joel playing with a PRS and a Soilwork t-shirt, cool vid.

[@KevCBTP]

its fun to see a guy who discovered KsE when As Daylight Dies went out lol Adam D used to weight 100 kgs

[@klazzz1]

Haha Adam´s dans looks funny XD! Great song!

[@ilrs]

hehe adam is wicked

[@Patarringle]

Fucking amazing!!!! Thanks for uploading it!

[@cypress6954]

i believe its called energy

[@SonOfManMusic]

nice

[@baboonslpk]

0.30 seconds you can see him on the left drumkit

[@MickyMacs125]

yep that's him. Adam D

[@ichiroku]

there's more than 1 set you can kinda see him in the intro of the video =p

[@mt201013]

for all the howard jones haters. listen 2 She Speaks to me by Blood Has Been Shed and tell me Howard aint as intense as Jesse.

[@wakko1337]

If you knew why he left, you'd know he's not going to come back officially.

[@gusat92]

agree =D

[@BlackSails91]

look at joel with short hair......he looks so young!!!!

[@Brogel]

@FanUvKoRn26 Might be because the drummer wasn't part of the band. I think it's the same guy that was in the 'My Last Serenade' video, but I understand that AdamD played both drums and guitar on the album. There also seem to be two drumkits on the stage, but I could be mistaken.

[@WhatWoodSatanDo]

ADAMS LOOKS SO FUNNY WHEN THE SONG STARTS XD HAHAHA

[@Joewestwood]

Adam's hair was so much win back then. xD

[@mt201013]

listen 2 blood has been shed

[@rayzorrr]

Anyone else notice how much Jesse wraps his mic chord around his lol its like a boa!

[@AugLeon]

Hey Howards been in the band a long time more then Jesse was therefore comparing who is better in term of listening to Jesse when he had rough times is no competition, listen to his new things, Jesse is definitely awesome singer now. And he still was but the little brawl with who is better I believe in my opinion is stupid

[@guitardude1685]

I don't know why people think if you say Jesse was better that you must hate Howard i like both singers. But Jesse was better and old Killswitch was the best and the lyrics were better i thought. Killswitch has changed a little but there still good and still one of my favorite bands.

[@saiyansofgodscygomez9809]

Wow 2002

[@gooner12akachili]

holy fuck! Welcome to skilled music!

[@joeydogz2000]

are you talking about jesse? b/c adam is the guitarist and hes always been amazing and so has jesse

[@TripCahouet0]

I know Adam was the original drummer, but that fuckin looks like him on guitar!

[@greatestgatsby]

He had a twin blade in the bridge

[@screwpit52]

my bad i didnt mean 2 mark ur comment down i ment 2 hit tumbs up kse fucking rocks!!

[@cesarCdogg]

[@CrazyKenya16]

@MUSICMAN123789 His guitar's always look small on him to me haha

[@MASTEROFPUPPETS238]

[@karolpopiak2031]

He just recorded drums for this album.

[@siris_05ofdoaclan13]

Think that’s Tom Gomes

[@heelgill]

Siris _05 of DOA clan that is Tom Gomes.

[@GoldenMusician]

Tom Gomes, he's all the way on the left.. hidden.

[@AlmostProGaming]

[@VapourXY]
