Jesse comes home

It’s official: Following Howard Jones’ departure, Jesse Leach has come back to Killswitch Engage to fill in the vocalist position. He left the original spot in 2002.

Now, I’ve been accused before of not caring about bands I write about, and unfortunately, that’s exactly the case today. I once tried listening to The End of Heartache and not only have I gone to sleep, I think I actually went into a shorter comma. People do tell me Jesse’s stuff with the band is supposed to be more raw ‘n shit, but same people told me the albums with Jones’ weren’t that bad, so I don’t know if I could trust anyone anymore.

You can tell me what a huge asshole I am in the comments section.

Snooze-switch Engage lose singer

Killswitch Engage, the most boring band in the whole of metal-land, announced yesterday that their frontman Howard Jones has officially left the band.

Ok, so this news is a day old, but a) Killswitch Engage suck, b) I was too busy getting laid, and c) I don’t fucking care.

When asked to comment, Howard growled a few verses before singing a cheesy chorus about heartache. Others scratched their heads.

Learn how to play like Killswitch Engage

According to Blabbermouth, Lick Library is to release a ‘Learn To Play Killswitch Engage‘ double disc DVD, a collection of classic tracks to help you learn the best riffs and solos from the popular metalcore band.

I could save you some money though and teach you how to play like Killswitch Engage right now. First learn a typical At The Gates or In Flames riff (Whichever you prefer). Next learn a melodic piece suitable for a chorus. Then learn a typical hardcore breakdown. Finally, repeat ad nauseam.

Back when they were still good: Killswitch Engage

Killswitch Engage; I envy you guys. You’ve been writing the same shit over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again, it’s gotten worse, and yet you’ve been making a living from it. I write the same shit over and over again, and I’m lucky if I get so much as a blowjob, let alone a pay check (and that’s not got anything to do with this site or my writing, I just don’t get a whole lot of action).

The band were once good, then they found a formula and stuck with it until people like me could take no more. In addition, Adam D you’re neither funny nor original, you’re just lame. So Killswitch Engage, please either get good again and tell Adam to shut the hell up (and lose the cape), or just give it up already. Kthnxbye! xoxo

P.S. I actually wanted to find a live video of this song with Jesse, but unfortunately I failed.

Dose of Love

So tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and you know what that means? That’s right, it’s the day I get to watch porn all by myself, all day. Wait… I do that every day.

So ok, Valentine’s day kind of sucks. If you’re single, you get it completely rubbed in your face all day long. If you’re in a relationship, you’re expected to actually pull of some fantastic shit to impress your partner, when actually, you’d rather be down the pub getting drunk with your mates. And then there’s the problems of when you’re in a relationship, but you’re not quite at that stage yet where you know what you to do for Valentine’s day. Do you just do nothing? Send a card? All go all out?

Fuck off, who cares? All I know if I love listening to some fantastic Metal music, regardless of what day it is. So let’s have some slightly Valentine’s day inspired Metal doses today. Don’t worry, you’re not going to get any Linkin Park crap here, I’m still going to be offering some real Metal, it’s just Metal songs about love.

Find out what I mean after the jump. You know you need your Metal dosage.
