I know it's been mentioned before, but I can't get over how hilarious it is to watch Adam mute Justin's cymbals. I know Justin is fully capable of muting his own cymbals, so you know there had to have been a discussion at some point between Adam and Justin like: [Adam]- "You know what would be cool?" [Justin]- "What?" [Adam]- If I muted your cymbals for you at 1:14 and 2:34." [Justin]- "Sure, fuck it." LOL.

I agree this is one of the most beautiful choruses I have ever heard. The Element Of One is also another very good one in my opinion. Here a link to a good quality performance (same concert as the video we are commenting on) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8ejZbiYtNWZfpc.html The original (studio version) was of course sung by Jesse Leach tho, I think the studio version with jesse leach is just as good as the performance with Howard on vocals. But in general they have many songs like these because Killswitch Engage is that kind of band, you just have to dig deeper.
