I really dug what Tommy did. They need a guy with a bit of variety and range to what he does. I just wanna hear who replaces him.

Howard is not shit, he can actually sing, unlike other metalcore 'singers' who do the clean bit, it's really contrived and a bit forced, there's no passion or soul behind it. Howard can hold a fuckin tune, and like 7 dying trees said, it's like that live, perfect.

my comparison wasnt anything to do with skin colour i find them to sound similar and have a similar style of delivery.

Shit may have been the wrong word to use when describing howard jones they guy clearly has talent i just dont like it in the music.

To be honest though, i dont really like killswitch engage so my opinions probably not worth much

Not pointing out you, but i've heard the comparison a few times, and a lot of it is based on looks. Both are bald, both are built. Physical appearance is a factor for a lot of people.

Vocal delivery is different though, with Howards vocals being strong, whereas Tommy's have always sounded like generic run of the mill metlcaore mixed with hardcore vocals, just average at best.

I'd like to see someone who has actually toured as much as they have in the last six months start attacking him - you can't put someone through months of bullshit and be surprised when they go a little over the edge.

i got to hang out with him and the band around some food, and he's a hell of a nice guy.

yeah id agree with that to an extent. the guy can deffinetly sing well. i just find it cringeworthy, its just not to my taste i cant really even put my finger on why.

Same as Warrel Dane. Great singer, cant stand him lol.

[halsinden]

does anyone know if there was any footage taken on one of those seemingly omnipresent mobile phones?

or does anyone know anyone who was actually there to substantiate this claim from DH that he was, literally, violent? not debating it entirely, but i'd love to know some more angles on it.
