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.

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

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."

KSE is such an all around amazing band. Doesn't matter whether or not it's Howard or Jesse, it's all awesome

The first time I heard of KSE was when my last serenade came out. I instantly liked the band even when Jesse left and Howard took the helm. They're both amazing vocalist, and that band will always be my favorite. I went through a similar path just like Jesse in my teenage years, when I was anti-social, depressed and a complete mess. Looking back now I barely recognise myself, and that band helped my through rough times back in the days.

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

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

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

You should get Howard to do one of these.

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

I love killswitch! I have been listening to them since the beginning! You guys have made a mark on my life! I first heard "My Last Serenade" and I have been hooked since! The band really took off when Howard too over vocals...but I am glad Jesse is back. It gives that original sound that started this band in the first place. I absolutely love the new material. Jesse man..you are killing it and I am glad you came back brother!

When did Jesse become Wolverine?

Killswitch is honestly one of the few bands out there with two different solid frontman. Both Howard and Jesse, both fuckin master frontmen!

He looks like a game of Tetris

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!

When I first heard the guitars kick in on "My Last Serenade" I was hooked for life, OMG that song makes me go fucking nuts!!!!

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

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.

"I'm RICH!" Jesse Leach - 2016

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

Get Craig from Slipknot to do one.. Disturbed can jam that Sound of Silence track in the background.

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

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

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

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

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

I had the privilege of playing with Jesse's band Seemless back in 96 or 97, they actually opened for my band at the time (not sure how that came about). Of course I did the fanboy thing and gushed about KE and how much I admired him as a vocalist, but after that we spent a half hour or so just talking music. He's no joke. Genuine, determined, and a hell of a nice guy.

In Flames Dark Tranquility and KSE? My God what a show!

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

Alive or just breathing IS a masterpiece.

This fills me with determination. Thanks Jesse.

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

Is this like Anselmo's "nice twin brother"?

alive or just breathing is amazing. I can listen to that record forever.

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

KSE opened for Shadows Fall... amazing

So glad Jessie went through what he did on AOJB album it turned out to be one of the best albums of all time! He absolutely killed it!! He seems like such a great dude!! And we’re so glad he back!!

Great interview man!

Nice shirt Gruhamed! That's my favourite EP of all time.

Still love your heart/passion, even if it was blanketed in a weird fear. We are all our own worst critics, but you inspired me, Sir!

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.

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

Wow they opened for InFlames. nice

I love killswitch engage and jessie lech

Can’t wait

Holy shit he looks so uncomfortable the entire time.

I'd love to meet him for sure!

love the interviewer

Tour with Parkway will be unbelievable

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

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

I love how much Jesse has grown as a person and front man

Coheed and Cambria would be cool as well

Doing this with Iced Earth could be fun

Alive or just breathing is a masterpiece in my opinion

first rule of lowdwire: when promoting loudwire, make sure you say it with as much lows & fry as you can

Jesse's eyebrow at 9:31 lol.

Fear Factory maybe?

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

As a huge fan of kse I remember when Jesse lost his vocal chords and needed surgery therefore he couldn't perform at fort rock and I was sad but im glad Jesse is better

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

System Of A Down PLEASE!!

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😎

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

Invite Winston from PWD please...

Haven't really listened to Killswitch but Jesse seems like a pretty cool guy

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

is the Von he was talking to the dude who managed As I Lay Dying? Might be a stupid question

Jesse would be so cool to hang out with.

Wow, never know that Jesse is a great guy 👏

I remember that first show

I would love to see Brian Fair do some Fact or Fiction

Jesse looking like Liev Schreiber's Sabertooth and those fangs man.

Alive or just breathing is a master piece

Seamless

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.

Robb Flynn Lars Ulrich Dave Grohl Serj Tankian

Guys should do Richard Christy that would be fun.

Coheed And Cambria would be rad! It would be really entertaining

"PAY ME!" 😆

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

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

i like how jesse's mahawk had a nice contrast between a new's man and a punk

that bloodbath shirt is badass

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

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.

i would call it a masterpiece

He looks older in the music videos before this video.

Killswitch is my favorite xfiles episode. And I never knew til now that my favorite band was named after it

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

What's the song at the end??

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

I want a fact or fiction with Ben Burnley !

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

Please get Howard Jones from Devil You Know

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

I fucking love this guy

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

Jesse is my doppelganger. It's extra weird because my name is also Jesse.

Bahahaha i love jesses reaction when he was asked about road runner😂 music industry is sad now adays. Hopefully theyll be able to keep up woth metalblade records
