I WOULDN’T FUCK WITH HOWARD JONES
Thursday, August 13th, 2009 at 12:30pm by Axl RosenbergIn case you’re blind or something, Howard Jones is a big dude. I mean, a big dude. He’s not, like, the tallest motherfucker you’ve ever met, but he’s definitely ripped, and he has a kung-fu grip handshake. And even though he’s an incredibly nice guy, I just would not ever dick around with him. There is no doubt in my mind that he could break me like Drago broke Apollo.
But the, I’m not the guy in this video, who is obviously way braver dumber than I am:
Wow. Didja really think Howard was gonna punch him? I sure did. I actually think it’s cool that he took the high road; on a practical level, he would’ve gotten sued, and on a philosophical level, he had clearly already defeated his opponent in a battle of wits. Howard is a classy dude.
This video is a few years old already, but I hadn’t seen it ’til MS Maniac Josh Gonzalez passed it along. Thanks, Josh!

I wanted to see him lay that guy out!!
If he punched him it would have been up their with the video where Maynard lays that guy out.
hahahaha thats one of my favorites
Howard’s got one the the coolest voices I’ve heard. He’s like the metalcore version of Morgan Freeman. And I wouldn’t mind Adam D. following me around with commentary all day.
Every single time I see the name Howard Jones in a headline, I can’t help but picture the blonde guy with the keytar from the 80s. That said, THIS Howard Jones is a heckler’s worst nightmare. Good work buddy!
Worried about getting sued is NOT metal. When you have an entire crowd chanting “Punch!” you gots ta fuck his shit up! Shit or get off the pot Howard.
No.
KSE are a pretty big band. If he was on tape beating someone up, he, the band, label, booking agency, management, etc would have all been hit with MASSIVE lawsuits.
Meh. We’ve all seen lead singers/band members regulate on fans before and turn out just fine. If anything it falls under the “any publicity is good publicity” category. I know KSE are no Tool or GNR but aside from a possible financial hit, laying dudes ass out would’ve helped prevent any future fuckings with during a KSE show. I don’t endorse violence in any way, but ultimately this is a situation that Howard took to this level and he did not deliver. Therefore, fail.
Yeah, kid gets punched in the face by metalcore hero in front of hundreds of people, then sues the band and label for possibly millions and gets put on CNN and FOX news. Yeah, that will definitely keep people from fucking with KSE….
A lawsuit like that for a band that size could have ruined them.
the kid said hit me, so a lawsuit is completely thrown out right there, howard jones is a pussy for not hitting that kid. NOW had it been frank carter from GALLOWS that kid would have been out cold before the fans starting yelling puch. Typical metal-core bullshit
And had it been Curly from Attack Attack!, he would’ve burst into tears
Ummmm no, you’re wrong.
in that case i wish he did punch him so they stopped putting out shitty music post end of heartache.
Stupid video. Howard is no Anselmo. It’s like a 10 minute Jr. High shoving match. Either punch him, or shut your mouth.
yeah i think phil wouldve punched him without the “whatch gonna do nigga” thing.
Nope…he definitely is not a possibly racist ,addict semi retarded white guy…nope, not at all.
howard may be classy, but adam isnt. uncouth insults are great if they’re funny, but adam cant manage that and just utters his usual puerile banter that would only get a chuckle from a 10 year old or someone whose IQ hasnt punched 70. kerry king, for all his faults, was on the money in his recent comments about adam d.
entertaining video nonetheless
I almost ran over Kerry King in the grocery store parking lot the other day…true story
true dat.
Howard is so sexy! That guy should have got punched for calling him a nigga.(I was there)
How is that classy? Everyone in that video is stupid. It’s almost as bad as when Phil Anselmo had security bring up a guy onstage, and Phil made him kneel down. But that heckler threw shit onstage. This guy was apparently just shouting. Also, lol, KSE.
I remember going to this show in Sacramento.
Such a good show.
That was a waste of time. I was hoping the kid was gonna get onstage and try to start something, then Howard could have laid him out with no real repercussions.
that kid would have been layed out cold
I doubt it. He’s as big as howard.
Why do people think guys are all kick ass just cuz they love them? Are you all gay or something? Wanna suck howard’s dick?
LOL
nice him shirt adam d
Kids a dumbass to think howard was really going to punch him.
This band needs to stop all activities.
They are awful
This video is old as hell. Howard Jones is a fucking tool. I wish this band would would disappear.
The ‘kid’ was as big as Jones. How do you know he would have been knocked out. He was ready to fight. KSE are the ones who made empty threats. As Bushwick Bill said ‘Size ain’t shit’. I woulda went after the HIM shirt fucker.
Bushwick Bill would sag his pants. And considering the distance between his ass and feet was pretty funny to see!
Pretty lame.
Remember when Johnny Pettibone from Himsa beet the fuck out of that dude at a show.
Yeah that was a complete waste of time. Stupid video. All talk and no action. Shouldn’t have drawn that much attention to the situation in the first place. Middle school bullshit indeed. This band blows. They’ve got some good riffs but overall they suck. In my opinion at least…
This kid represents the typical KSE fan, by that I mean the lowest common denominator.
I agree. KsE sucks. Even the name sucks.
That kid probably posts on Lambgoat.
entertaining although the video of Danzig getting dropped by Danny Marianinho is much better.
While KSE have a few tunes that are actually catchy, having just seen them at Mayhem I have to admit I am not a fan of bands that are cunts to the audience.
howard jones is a fuckign wanna be but this kid deserved to get his ass kicked. fuckign douche.
Watching that video made me realize how much Adam D. and Daniel Tosh remind me of each other.
Up until now it perceived Jones as a cool, calm dude, but this clearly proves that he is just a dumb ogre.
I mean it is clear that the kid in the crown is/was drunk/stupid or just plainly hyped out of his fucking mind to see KSE.
If Jones felt that bothered, he just should have call for the bouncers and not make a fucking Jerry Springer episode out of it.
He did make a jerry springer episode out of it.
My buddy likes to say these guys are smart.. That they went to Berkley and all of that. This guy cant’ even make up a good put down. No wonder he pulls out his sack. That’s about what his mentality is.
If I were the guys in KSE I would be really sick of idiots like that guy talking a bunch of smack, however, their form of slackwit metalcore rubbish is like a magnet for these type of people.
For 400 years, that word has kept us down.
It took a whole lot of trying, just to get up that hill, now… we’re in the big leagues, getting our turn to bat, as long as we live, It’s you and me baby, there ain’t nothing wrong with that…
Stupid ass Jack. Fartin’ in the bathtub..
KSE sucks. Howard is a big lamo. This video showed how gay he really is.
You don’t call someone out and then don’t do anything. I swear, the east coasters are weird.
Oh so you wouldn’t have done the same thing? just ignore some guy who’s standing some feet away, yelling at you the whole show?
