[edit] African American?

Howard is categorized as an African American musician. Is that a joke? Xcryoftheafflictedx 05:33, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Isn't he mixed? He certainly looks it. Sion 01:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Sion6. I wish there were more African American hardcore vocalists in the world, because they do a darn good job of it. ;) Elsebroke 16:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

He might be mixed,or he could just be extremely pale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.235.186.141 (talk) 02:18, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Belief in God

A previous revision of this article stated that, while he is not necessarily a Christian, Howard Jones believes in God. Can someone verify this? His lyrics are blatantly Christian. Has anyone read the What Killswitch Engage Says article in HM Magazine? Replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Elsebroke 16:41, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

no Jesse Leach's lyrics are blatantly Christian.68.252.94.90 18:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Howard Jones hails from Columbus, Ohio. He had attended many Christian and Non-Christian metal shows in Columbus and surrounding areas.

[edit] Rewrite needed?

This article looks like a mess!

1st paragraph of "Biography": - The WWE-thingie this is more of a trivia than something biographical - "he resides in the New England area where both his bands originated": "both" bands? Only Killswitch Engage was mentioned before that point, his other band is mentioned in the sentence after the quoted one: very sloppy in style.

Next paragraph: "After the release of The Novella of Uriel, the band went on tour"... which one of the two?

And the list could go on and on. Can someone who is knowledgeable on this subject rewrite it? Thanks in advance!

[edit] straight edge

[edit] Brother of Mike Jones (rapper)?

I remember reading something that said Mike Jones in related to Howard Jones as siblings and that Howard appears as a guest on one of his albums. Can anyone verify this? 69.250.142.218 (talk) 03:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Needs improvement

This article looks like it's been the victim of people adding and removing facts dozens of times without anyone actually working on making these changes look good. Could someone more knowledgeable about the man fix this? Also, a photo would be handy. --Sakaki22 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Vandalism

Howard Jones is the current blackie lead singer of American metalcore bands Killswitch Engage and Blood Has Been Shed. Someone put that up. I removed the "Blackie" part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.242.38.28 (talk) 01:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
