[@FramingArmageddonIE]

When you headbang so hard, part of your goatee disperses to your scalp.

[@fupaking7717]

Framing Armageddon 😂😂😂 lmao you deserve more likes on this

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

That made me laugh, thanks

[@dimidomus]

Or did he headbang so hard that the majority of his hair dispersed on his cheeks

[@JaredMOfficial]

Hahahahahahahaha! :D

[@Disturber93]

HHAHAHAHA

[@CareyPortnoyBeauford]

Alive or Just Breathing is one of my favorite metal albums. "No one is placed higher than another, No matter race or creed or gender, We must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life."

[@ReneeSitra]

Vide infra is my favorite song in the entire kse library And alive or just breathing is easily the best metal core album ever

[@MaynardOwns]

The most in metal lyrics. But SO METAL

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@Gzus Kreist Care to explain what science says about that statement?

[@dakotahdunham9888]

My last serenade, the element of one, rise inside, fixation on the darkness

[@tycarnine3855]

@Gzus Kreist post colonialism? I hope you're not insinuating some false sense of superiority. I'll grant you we're all different. Positive and negative attributes. But we're all have the equal chance to live. While I'm here, Free Palestine. Love to all who don't abuse kids.

[@JonnyCrackers]

He looks so nervous. I feel him, though. I have social anxiety through the fucking roof. Props to him for overcoming his struggles and giving others hope through his music. His lyrics really resonate with me.

[@Madchris8828]

Jesse is much better now than he used to be. He has grown as a person and seems much more comfortable in his own skin. And I really love his voice and what he sings about😃.

[@CLuvTravels]

In Flames, Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, Dark Tranquility......... I would sell humans to see that show

[@Hans_Lex]

Charles Lovely 2005 In Flames. Killswitch and As I lay dying was insane.

[@lamentis3025]

CLuv I saw killswitch, in flames, dark tranquility, and sentenced. Incredible show. Adam wasn't being a dork and Howard was incredible

[@metalwill1118]

Agreed. My god what a line up.

[@PsychoMantis308]

I was there

[@castle6660]

I've seen Killswitch ONCE...only once...and Phil Labonte from ATR was on vocals because Howard was sick. EPIC SHOW!

[@louisxD]

Alive or Just Breathing it's empirically a Metalcore masterpiece.

[@crucifixmegabuster95]

I love these guys so much. killswitch got me into metal.

[@fuckcraigsgloves8656]

Testament *metalcore Edit: Its still metal

[@peterdowner4315]

They got me into metal too! I heard my brother listening to KSE and said it was dumb.. He later made me listen to a softer song (My Curse of course.. lol) and I slowly fell in love. I hardly listen to them anymore (more into prog metal now) but I'll correct Jessie: Alive or just breathing is absolutely a masterpiece..

[@sniperwolf2454]

Same

[@dakotahdunham9888]

Same for me i love the end of heartache and hate by design

[@I-Sharted1]

Killswitch got me back into metal

[@Squattingtiger9]

3:40-4:20. Don't know why but this part is down to earth, makes me smile

[@centralia83]

WHAT!!!! A GOOD EFFORT!!!! Alive or just breathing is a great album. If it wasn't for albums such as Alive or just breathing, a snowcapped romance, frail words collapse, this darkened heart, suicide notes and butterfly kisses, sounding the seventh trumpet, waking the fallen, Clayman, the caitiff choir. A lot of the albums that came out from 1999-2004 pretty much started a domino effect and i just started looking up bands similar to the bands i was listening to because i was very much into the metalcore scene back then. I remember constantly buying Alternative Press magazine and Revolver and finding out about a lot of bands that way. They would have articles like 100 bands to watch out for and it would have who they sound similar to. That's how i found the confession, it dies today, the devil wears prada, protest the hero and several other bands. The confession didn't get that far, but the requiem album was awesome. I thank killswitch engage for being one of the bands that influenced me to start a metalcore band.

[@AngrySkipperGC]

To be fair. Alive or just breathing remains my favourite album of killswitch engage.

[@archbishopfrank5144]

When did Jesse become Wolverine?

[@RareAries323]

To me he looks more like sabertooth (Victor Creed)

[@stwl1234]

Even though its four yeas ago, alive or just breathin, holy smokes, that album kicks the balls out off as i lay dyeing, in flames what so over... Those are still great bands by the way, but Alive or Just Breathing.... booom... whats left to say, what is a masterpiece anyway, i dont know, i just know, booom.... It kicks ass every time i put on that record, i even played some of the songs for my child while she was in my wifes tommy. Shes one year old now, every Fixation on the darkness comes on, she goes nuts!

[@rmp5s]

One of my top three favorite vocalists ever. Ever, ever, ever. You kick ass, Jesse!!

[@MaskedMenace830]

"I had to at least audition." And look where that's brought him :) (great interviewer btw)

[@NateRiversforRever]

This fills me with determination. Thanks Jesse.

[@813lynch]

agreed

[@playdiscgolf1546]

The dude looks like Freddy Krueger is standing behind the interviewer. So nervous lol. It’s refreshing he’s so humble

[@ChirodipBasu25021994]

Would've been so much fun if it was Adam D...

[@baconsayshi]

i was gonna comment that exact thing lol

[@ChirodipBasu25021994]

baconsayshi Speaking of which, whats up with the thumbnail picture. When the f was that taken ? xD

[@baconsayshi]

oh yea huh? two different beards lol

[@ChirodipBasu25021994]

baconsayshi The thumbnail looks insane ! xD

[@rootbeer4354]

Adam D is a tool. I love Killswitch but he constantly annoys the shit out of me.

[@SleepFan771]

Can you imagine opening up for Dark Tranquillity?! That'd be crazy!

[@shotgunsherman]

i met jesse in 2001 at a show in providence RI at Lupos and he was awesome!

[@TiANr0ckst4r]

Jesse has such a great energy to him real candid soul it seems

[@datboibaz]

I hung out with Jesse when he was on tour with trivium and protest the hero with the band seemless. Good times

[@jakeiflhm9791]

Holy shit he looks so uncomfortable the entire time.

[@KaspaKings]

He has bad social anxiety.

[@jpaxton19]

hey Jesse, Alive Or Just Breathing IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!

[@jtaylor476]

This was one of the best videos you've done Gruhamed. Keep it up brother!

[@catrichbillay1506]

Wow they opened for InFlames. nice

[@afroguitarman1022]

Got to meet him last friday before a show he came into my work, such a cool and down to earth guy.

[@stephanokidd4498]

For God sake just get both Howard and Jesse in KSE and take turns doing songs!

[@DeathcoreHusky]

For god sake howard is sick he cant play anymore GET OVER IT!

[@daoyang6055]

Diabeetus

[@DeathcoreQC]

wtf he cant play Howard is the singer of Devil You Know

[@Handplottedblackhole]

He can still do it, but not on the level he was required to for Killswitch. Devil You Know doesn't tour as much, so he has more time to be himself instead of a performer.

[@stephanokidd4498]

Jodoin Maxime He's not as sick as he was before his diagnosis, He's much healthier now then he was before.

[@sasdragon]

For what it's worth this video made me listen to Alive or Just breathing, which led to me buying the album, which led to me buying their new album. I love these videos, please keep them coming.

[@killswitchrulez00]

Tour with Parkway will be unbelievable

[@DILLBAG5150]

Alive or just breathing is a masterpiece!! Jessie leach is my favorite of the two singers. No disrespect to Howard Jones love his era got me through some shit. Jessie is still my favorite though

[@EccentricEmolga]

Fear Factory maybe?

[@MireWolf29]

Doing this with Iced Earth could be fun

[@iansloan1106]

^^^ yess

[@BananaDucshortz]

Super Jon!

[@baumguy6667]

Invite Winston from PWD please...

[@brandonjmusic8107]

I'm seeing these guys in the summer, just started hearing there songs :O

[@camilogracia7233]

Devidriver would be really good. Bring it on!!!

[@gmorkins6006]

Great interview man!

[@shanehuff1177]

Gotta disagree, jesse. Disarm the Descent is your masterpiece, buddy. The epic come back, the riffs, the melodies and harmonies, and just the vibe in general. Imo, by far, the best killswitch record to date.

[@shanehuff1177]

AND THE VOCALS, holy shit bro. Beautiful.

[@simen30]

Best album ever made imo masterpiece from start to finish

[@lescarpio]

I fell in love with KSE when I first heard them at the end credits of the first Resident Evil movie (End of Heartache). So it was always Howard I knew. Went back and listened to Jesse era material and wasn't fond of it. But when Disarm the Descent and Times of Grace came out, he quickly won me over.

[@2488samantha]

"Im not rich" He is now but he deserves it

[@azathothnightmare4394]

Dude I'm 31 and alive or just breathing is still and always has been my ONE stranded on an island record since seventh grade!!! Masterpiece achived😎

[@revengetragedy]

Robb Flynn Lars Ulrich Dave Grohl Serj Tankian

[@raditwer2686]

Jesse would be so cool to hang out with.

[@Dynasty1k]

Glamour of the Kill and Black Tide would be awesome as well

[@Mr.M1STER]

AOJB is still one of my favourite albums. The new stuff is okay too.

[@BORDEMER78]

love the interviewer

[@northernninety7]

He looks older in the music videos before this video.

[@olbrien]

Guys should do Richard Christy that would be fun.

[@hunterwade6916]

Alive or just breathing was a fuckimg great album! You can be humble without discrediting yourself jess!

[@BloodandSoil990]

Please get Howard Jones from Devil You Know

[@hsjsueking7485]

I'd love to meet him for sure!

[@JMPK23]

I feel like I'd get along with Jesse HOW DO YOU NOT SIGN WITH ROAD RUNNER!!!

[@xWhackoJacko]

love howard, and BHBS, but Jesse is KSE. Glad he's back

[@jasonmclouth6920]

Can’t wait

[@VPB1218]

My names Von and it freaked me out when he looked at me and asked me a question.

[@cloudidn]

Wow, never know that Jesse is a great guy 👏

[@deanlangley4003]

What happened to Fact or Fiction? Haven’t had an episode in forever it seems like

[@daviddenness5392]

i do love jesse leach. but i miss howard jones. wish they could do an album with killswitch together. jesse on scream and howard on melody.

[@znothingfacez5681]

David Denness I actually love the new albums of KSE

[@italianchewy]

@@znothingfacez5681 Same. Jesse sounds better than ever

[@filipcejpa9221]

They did it

[@Hhhjam1975]

@TheTimbalanders he had surgery for blowing out his vocal chords?

[@koustubhpersai5155]

Not an album, but we did get a song with them together 🔥

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

I remember that first show

[@ianlaliberte5143]

Seamless

[@italianchewy]

I'd love to see Lars Ulrich or James Hetfield do a Fact or Fiction

[@tudorurea5822]

I want a fact or fiction with Ben Burnley !

[@halle9165]

Tudor Urea YES!

[@5carecrow94]

Usually people they interview have an air of ego about them, but Jesse seems like a remarkably cool guy.

[@justinbennett8568]

+5carecrow94 It's kind of hard not to have an ego when people are telling you that you're important enough to interview.

[@5carecrow94]

Justin Bennett I definitely understand that. Even so, I wouldn't say that's an adequate excuse to act like an asshat.

[@ishw1997]

that bloodbath shirt is badass

[@azarothshadowsoul]

"PAY ME!" 😆

[@SonOfManMusic]

Would love to see a Ben Burnley Fact or Fiction.

[@danielgibeault8060]

When did wolverine's brother join killswitch engage

[@connorwaddell8236]

Jessie looks so pissed

[@justinbennett8568]

The record companies motive was to popularize Metalcore. They make a lot of money on using new genres because people are constantly looking for something new.

[@timhannettmusic]

How Bout, Jonathon Davis, or Myles Kennedy... just a couple randoms lol would be cool

[@metalhead11t6]

The host is like a younger metal Tom Green if you listen to his voice.

[@metalscholar5681]

Ladies and Gent, the name of the interviewer: Graham "They do got this wrong sometimes" Hartmann

[@helltoupee6664]

Bought this album... Trying to give it away.. Any takers??

[@TheRiffingFatboy]

He looks and sounds like Phil Anselmo's son

[@aerahtv0000]

Why he looks like a vampire?

[@thearchivist7824]

Do either Jeff Walker or Simone Simons sometime

[@undead797]

+The Abyssal Archivist Hell Yes!

[@thearchivist7824]

They both seem like funny and intelligent people who definitely have a lot to talk about.

[@ArielMayer96]

Can you guys get fear factory for this segment

[@zozobra226]

he might not be the best out there but i really think he is an outstanding vocalist...and very modest

[@vlefland]

@loudwire Could you do an episode with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus?

[@AJVargasCovers]

What's the song at the end??

[@FrankieHiltz]

Jesse seems like such a cool dude. I just wanna be his friend and hang out and shit 😂😂

[@milkman3944]

Anthony keidis, Eddie vedder, Vinnie Paul, Jonathan Davis, James hetfeild, or Dave grohl please 😀

[@FirestormXTi]

Is he wearing a WSS shirt?

[@bnpzarie9511]

wtf is his name? gruhamed?

[@Dynasty1k]

Avenged Sevenfold, breaking Benjamin would be cool unless already done and I can't find lol

[@hi-dp1sy]

+D3V1STATE Gaming gross

[@Why8827]

[@hi-dp1sy]

[@dudewithaguitar3688]

[@hi-dp1sy]

***** but gross

[@MusicAwesomeTV]

Do a Hollywood Undead one with the whole band

[@rocesboyanthony5343]

Ok so who is the original KSE vocalist and what albums did they do. I'm so confused.

[@italianchewy]

Jesse is the original vocalist. He left, Howard replaced him and was in the band for years and then Howard left due to his diabetes and then Jesse rejoined.

[@antonlisk6203]

do a fact or fiction with kool Keith!

[@elginbelalla2622]

Yoooo i want that bloodbath shirt😮😮😮

[@jicklesjingles8134]

Alive or just breathing is the only metalcore album I like. It was so unique back then! Not that whiney things that came up later

[@KamKam8383]

Icedearth next?

[@Ghoulishx182]

So what is Howard doing now?

[@Realyears]

William Brown Howards in Devil You Know

[@Anthrax-sp7fm]

Exodus,Death Angle or Testament would be killer man

[@KlumSyTurtl3]

Did I say it or not?Jello Biafra.
