Absolutely! Thank you too, good sir! Glad to see you in good health and still out there doing your dream!

How's that for fan love? Gotta love a guy that replies to comments about him on someone else's channel.

Woah the energy in this performance is sick. Surprisingly good audio for what looks like a phone recording. Just wish it didn’t have that washout. Still epic though, well done 🤘🏼

Howard hasn’t performed Rose of Sharyn in like 12 years. This is absolutely amazing for us Killswitch Engage fans to witness once again. Also, it’s such an cool sighting to see the 2003-2012 lineup of the band.

[@NathanWaste]

This Shit brings a tear to my eye

[@skyDN1974]

@@NathanWaste I came here to say that haha. Freakin A, this song gets me every time

[@thomasaiken7249]

Best live version I've seen....

[@justinsayswtf]

The fact that Jesse and Howard are genuinely friends helps facilitate a lot of this stuff. There is no ego involved, and it’s great to see Jesse cede the stage to Howard for a few songs. It’s fun and nostalgic for us as well as Howard and the band!!!

[@andrewbistany189]

It would be even better if I and 8 of my buddies could have gone to see them in Boston tomorrow. Due to bullshit mandates all 9 of us cannot go.

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

Hard to believe that Howard’s 51 and can pull of screams like that. Unreal. Dude is also jacked and looking healthy! I know he’s fought his health issues for the longest time.

[@shecter2003]

Holy shit. I hope I look that good at some point never mind at 51!

[@Papabogs1020]

he doesn't even look sick.. but man..at age of 51 with still that kind of voice...I think Howard's immortal..😁😁

[@themiz3321]

I support 2 vocalists on Killswitch Engage. Their chemistry is so unique.

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

Howard's friendship with Adam is so wholesome. It's like he never left :)

[@WoodysPickle]

They really should keep him in the band. Do what Mushroomhead did

[@ravenhawk6910]

@@WoodysPickle as great as that could be I think it's better the way they've been doing it because you could end up with a "to many cooks in the kitchen" kind of situation which could hurt that relationship. Not saying it would, but it could still be a possibility.

[@bakerhalt]

@@WoodysPickle the thing about MRH is (i'm going to be reffering to the old mushroomhead with Jeff and JMann) one vocalist does all the cleans and the other does all the fry shit, the problem with KSE is both vocalists have really good cleans and fry screams that it would be unfair to just assign one role for both of them. But having both of them do the same thing, i'm sorry but Howard simply overpowers Jesse, and that can't run. I mean imagine if Jeff and JMann did the same thing, you just can't.

[@bayerhead]

@@bakerhalt oh, you mean like when they added in Waylen? Lol or added Jmann back in with Nothing and Waylen? There were some old school vibes on that album though. I can't hate!

[@James-us8nt]

Be happy to hear then that Howard and Adam are nearly done with their new project which will have 12-13 more songs. >=D. It's a dream come true honestly lol.

[@kalelofkrypton1414]

This band has such a unique element to them having two singers that have held the torch for years and both are loved by the fans, no drama, no issues or bad blood. All love !🤟

[@DV-id6di]

Sure u say

[@johnsheedy1752]

P 0 p

[@neighborhoodmusicsnob5517]

I mean it's true. When Jesse left originally it was for his own personal reasons and he never held it against his bandmates. He did what he had to do for his own mental health. Howard did the same thing plus diabetes which is NOT good for touring as much as Killswitch does. The two are from relatively similar areas and have been friends since Jesse was first in the band and Howard still hsd Blood Has Been Shed. It seems like they've taken care of each other and the whole band has immense modesty and empathy. It also helps that Jesse and Howard sound pretty similar so the changeover didn't freak people out too much but that's obviously not as important as their being there for each other for years.

[@newpairofboots]

@@neighborhoodmusicsnob5517 Great comment. It does really seem like they both respect each other a lot and both have tried to do what's best for the band. I can't say I agree that they sound similar though. I think they sound pretty different. Each of them did/does great with KSE though, there's no doubting that.

[@manifestgtr]

In the very beginning, there was a little bit. Alive was such a perfect “metalcore” album and fans wanted more of that SO BADLY…but it dissipated pretty quickly after this album’s release. Fans of Blood Has Been Shed knew Howard was gonna be great in KSE and this album helped cement that feeling, even though people still missed Jesse.

[@wRonG765]

This song helped me thru the loss of my first baby. It won't be long, we'll meet again. Thank you Howard and Crew!

[@JC-ny8cr]

Came to say this, I dedicate this song to my angel baby daughter. 👼

[@erictorres9714]

It brought tears to hear Howard sings rose of sharyn.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

First off, what a cool and generous move by Jesse. There’s so much ego in some bands but these guys have always seemed completely ego free. Rose of Sharyn is Howard’s song, very cool to see him come back and sing it with them.

[@therockman89]

I love Jesse and I frist seen killswitch with Jesse... but I grew up with Howard.. Howard will always be my guy.. it seem all their songs are Howard's lmfaoooo... but I totally understand what your saying!!!!

[@KalosPVP]

They do this often.

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

@@KalosPVP Still doesn’t make it any less cool!

[@SlothoftheSun]

@@therockman89 Jesse has so many bangers too! My Last Serenade and Just Barely Breathing are classics. Hate By Design, Strength of the Mind, In Due Time and the some of the newer songs have also become massive songs especially live. Also Adam and Jesse go ham on the Times of Grace stuff.

[@jasonbryce2935]

Killer Instinct dude is Killswitch dude. Very cool. Love your content!

[@lacush21]

Just on these two songs alone Howard has solidified his place as one of the best metal vocalists to ever take the stage. Great to see him back performing with KSE again.

[@riptomydeadhomies]

Yes he's up there with ronnie james dio

[@blacksunshine7485]

Do a dual vocalist album! The harmonies would be awesome

[@charneknight544]

[@robburdick2894]

The fact that KSE drops the EGOS and let's both generations collide is EPIC! Love them dudes!

And to think this man was going to pull the trigger of that 44. In 09, I’m so happy he didn’t end himself, man is a precious human

[@Senseigainz]

Howard Jones era was there best, their songs had more melody imho. However, a dual vocalist album would be insane.
