dave, have you listened to Acceptance Speech 2.0? edit, forgot to add that I love it

i have and i LOVE IT

Actually I haven't heard of that one but it sounds like it could be really cool!. Lmk if you figure that one out

oh .. sry dude

@@hetareee_ Can you please to add english subs because I want to translate it to russian...

lmao woops the beans have been spilled

You should win an award omg lol

Fantastic joke

THIS IS THE ACTUAL MOST INTELLECTUAL COMMENT IVE READ IN MY LIFE

Zack McGlocklin damn you. Take my upvote.

Yeah they really have been around for a while

Ikr

I actually became a fan of DGD a couple months ago. A friend of mine showed my boyfriend some of their songs and in turn showed me. I'm absolutely in love with Tilian's vocals, they're so smooth and just put me on a feels trip every time. The contrast between his clean, sugary sounding voice and the chaos of the guitars is too good of blend for me to ignore. Also, I'm impressed that the man can hit higher notes in full voice than I can 😂 makes singing along challenging and fun.

Yeah you described it about as well as i could! Their contrast is always super cool and one of the main reasons i love them. Jon is one of the only heavy vocalists i can consistently stand.

It still feels like Kurt was a new member lol

Swan and Mess are the glue of DGD

and you steal comments from other people

Guilherme Buchner and spell Jon’s name wrong

So somehow no idea how, I had 2 songs from WISIRO on my itunes library But were listed as unknown band, unknown artist. I loved those two songs, this is crazy but I did not technically "discover" the rest of what dance gavin dance had made up until the release of acceptence speech.... That means i was listening to them in 7th grade (without knowing who they were, and again these were my favorite two songs for over like 4 or 5 years lmao it drove me insane not knowing) all the way up until like nearly freshmen year of college... And then my friend showed my Acceptence speech... I think they'd made 3 full length albums prior at that point, not including WISIRO??? Regardless, that day was incredible fkr me, because after 5 years never knowing who made my favorite songs, I finally found out and then had tons of new songs to listen to lol. 100% my favorite band now.

Oh and p.s. I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere surrounded by hicks and country girls. It was basically all country music all the time (which fucking sucked). Point being, NO ONE I had ever been friends with had heard of DGD, so I ended up thinking "hmm, maybe these really are the only two songs by this mysterious band I cannot find". 🤷 idk I think it's pretty cool that I discovered them like that. I think I'd have gone insane if I NEVER found out who they were though. The music they've created, and the passion of each current member has inspired me and improved my life in too many ways to count. 👏

Same here. There's no escaping DGD.

Happy to hear we're not alone, OG DGD fans. I saw them in '07. Good times!

Same! Literally started listening to them my sophomore year in 2008 and I still consider them one of my faves. Second to deftones

Whats the other band?

Neil Anderson Emarosa during their 2011 tour

@@carsonIewis tilian left in 2010 though

I'm pretty sure he hates Tilian but hides it

@@besttrollever2409 I doubt it. Jonny knows he fucked his own career up by getting hooked on drugs and not avoiding them at all costs. He's doing better now I have heard. Tilian isn't at fault for taking Jonny's place.

Are there any heavy swancore bands ?

@@user-tp4gi8gt3g feel like most swancore bands that ik of arent generally really heavy but a mix of both melodic and grungy my advice would be to check out secret band if you dont know them

@@YamiYonko Secret is the only heavy swan band I know, are there any else?

@@user-tp4gi8gt3g def check out eidola and royal coda

@@user-tp4gi8gt3g definitely check out Sectret Band for hard shit. For softer stuff, check out Sianvar and Hail The Sun. I would also recommend the similar sounding, yet not swancore bands called Circa Survive and Emarosa.

I do love Swan soup BUT OVER TRWH?

VicedOfVersa honestly lmao

Heat seeking ghost of sex??

Lmao that’s commitment to the ipod right there

Yeah same the self title has always been my favorite release

Deathstar is fucking dope. Everything DGD is dope but got such a soft spot for Deathstar

it's their best album imho, i was pretty disappointed when happiness came out

Alex English is still my favorite song to this day.

I think it mostly has to do with the fact that the immediate reception of him was NOT very high only cuz people were butthurt over jonny bring kicked out

@@hetareee_ Johnny fans are.... something special.

Kurt is my favorite. I hate johnny

Kurt I think the best singer of em all..and happiness is the best album ever

@@KingAlfa7 youre right, but people are gonna get mad at you for saying something so brave

Kurt definitely does deserve some more credit. He filled in at a weird transitional and managed to still put some good stuff out there.

Kurt era was my favourite

I jam DBM and happiness at least once a week. I loved Kurt in DGD.

JC controversial past aside, I like his voice a lot. But I totally agree that with Tilian is the best theyve ever sounded

Kurt is better

@@josephkoch2262 jc has a nice voice but his substance is the same. all he does is cry about how he fucked up his life. he's been singing the same songs for over 10 years. honestly JC needs to stop singing and either give lessons or go into music production. he left slaves and relapsed AGAIN so you can bet we're gonna hear another "guys im so sorry" song from JC in the next year *rolls eyes* tillian added way more than just vocals to the band. the lyrics are more existential and less self centered than JC's stuff has ever been

Can someone explain to me the Macbook joke? I saw it everywhere but still don’t know what happened @@ (Sorry for being dumb..)

@@owlsumneitor it was a very long time ago, but basically JC said he was gonna sell autographed mac books or something but he used the money for other stuff and never sent the promised mac books.

Oh yeah, DGD would definitely feel a lot different if he wasn’t a part of it still. That man can lay down some sick ass beats

rest in peace!! such a goddamned shame

Sames. Wish he stayed in ALLB.

Happiness does have some of the best songs on it

Self titled and happiness are my favorite albums

I can't say I have a favorite of them each album has its own star song with a unique sound and powerful lyrics each singer and album has done remarkable work in this band unlike we'll see with any other band and I agree dude alot like birds WAS so amazing

You are not a weirdo, you just have good taste haha!

that it was

True

Omg yeah ik i love it too. And thanks! I have another script ready i just need to find time to edit it.

i mean i ain’t wrong

dave makes me feel like I’m in college again 😢

the question then is whether or not it’s a good or a bad thing

dave its all good fam

poor boy

I dony get it either dude is amazing, royal coda is great

Fr Kurt the god

Not me.

Yeah dude! I fuckin love it

oof.

sshhhiiittt

Yeah of course! Thank you for watching! I'm glad that it gave you a chance to listen to some of their older stuff and enjoy it :)

I mean I think pretty much all of their songs are good songs, but those are definitely my favorites. Thank you though, I really appreciate it!

Oooh yeah that's a good idea actually. I'll have to add that to my list. And Death Star isn't awfully bad, I just think it wasn't up to a lot of people's expectations.

Deathstar was fire. Hot water on wool an people you know are top 5 dgd tracks

I'm a new fan, got in around Instant Gratification, and Deathstar is my favorite album easily. Maybe I just love Kurt Travis. But the band was so different for that album, it's not a fair comparison, especially to the new stuff. The new stuff I absolutely love too, but for different reasons, and Deathstar holds a special place in my heart.

Yeah that’s definitely a good way to put it. Obviously each singer brings different style but it’s cool to see how they mesh that with the rest of the band.

I have a huge chestpeice tat of "the death of the robot" and i have 'no rAgrets'

bro this is literally the most eloquent shit thanks for fucking watching and getting invested man i hope you get to see them this next tour

@@hetareee_ nah man, thank you for the hard work and passion you poured and spread evenly throughout this upload. I listen to all these albums daily at work now.

lmao i don’t know what to say. i’m glad this affected you so positively and that you’re able to listen to them so frequently because of this dumb video i made. thanks for watching :)

Yeah i’m pretty much the same, each album has its own super cool appeal. And yeah Covet is fucking awesome, it’s super nice to put in the background

yeah lol but at that point i didn’t wanna re-record

Haha no biggie just figured I'd point it out good sir

Yeah, I found out about them because of a Spotify recommended playlist. I got freaked out by Jon, but then really started liking it. Plus Will's riffs are enough to infect anyone with love for their music. Except for maybe Fantano. But whatever he don't matter. Just don't tell him I said that.

Yeah aside from coming across and not caring for a couple of their songs back in 2010 or so, I didn't know much about DGD until Anthony Fantano's review. I like the guy's content quite a bit and kinda jumped on the whole "lol it's shitty post hardcore in [current year]" thing. But then I came back to it a couple years later and decided, you know what, I'll bite. Let's try this weirdo band. I love them so. much. IG is my ironically my favourite album of theirs despite getting 1'd by him. Also love the Fooies ;)

yeah looking back now i realize i made a few mistakes with the info part. sorry about that

Ryan Wheeler fuckin same! Been listening to DGD since about 2009 and never think I have heard of them. Off to Spotify as we speak.

Thanks! I put out another one recently on Mom Jeans so check that one out if you want

It's never too late.

I mean I'm pretty much in the same boat. i started listening to them about 6 months or so before Mothership was released but got into them pretty quickly. And I can't wait either

As someone whos listened since before happiness, welcome! Happy to have you

That's so awesome to hear! I got a new video written that I'll hopefully start editing by the end of this week so look forward to that soon :)

Mama P so happy to see you here !

@@TheeMissManda T🐸H🐸A🐸N🐸K🐸S ❣️

i have achieved peak meme

Thanks man! I enjoyed it too and any new DGD project will always hold up with the hype from me

Its so fuckin good

Bro hasn't made a video in 3 years but he really should

Yep PAIN

this is true. acceptance speech forever goes fucking hard

dude honestly i haven't listened to it in a while and with the amount of comments ive gotten about how good it is at this point im just gonna say it was good lol

Thanks!

Probably not no. Personally i’ve kinda just grown to love each era for what it is and enjoyed the new stuff they’ve been putting out

I love eacc era but Kurt gave me good Stoney vibes I love it

Definitely not! The OP is fuckin trippin! Dude literally said only two songs on the album were any good. Wtf? He also said Kurt left the band instead of being clear he was replaced before even knowing he was no longer in the band! How do you miss that when trying to cover their history?

@@imorokr Facts . Happiness by the far the most experimental post hardcore album I heard in years . They had funk and jazz chords on their shit . No breakdowns . Great time for music

Nope, you're not the only one. I was honestly tempted to comment something like this. Kurt era was the best in my opinion. Death Star is still my most listened to album. That and Happiness are my usual go to. Honestly though (in my opinion) everything up till IG were pretty good. I can get down to everything up until that point. IG wasn't that good except like 4 songs that I actually dig. Everything after that was super generic.. But Happiness and Death Star are my favorite and what I prefer when I go to listen to DGD.

i feel like at this point he basically is, he’s consistently featured instrumentally and helps with vocals live and sometimes on recorded songs too, so i’m sure that there’s a reason why they’ve decided to not make him an official member. they don’t seem to worked up about it and like you said he’s doing great with them as it is so i think it’s cool either way

Yeah, I would definitely recommend it! They ended up being my most-listened to artist last year because I basically just spent the entire summer listening to them.

I generally love this sound of music, but for the longest time for any band that has a sterotypical following that I don't feel like I fit in (say Panic at the Disco, Bring Me The Horizon, Sleeping with Sirens etc.) Or anything that might appear as scene or emo I couldn't get into unless someone incidentally pushed me into it or I find one song I can't not listen to. I grew up listening to everything so it's wierd for me to notice about myself. I think what made me realize and try to change this was Linkin Parks experimentation from Minutes to Midnight on. So many people hatred and criticized including myself, but I pushed myself to listen to A Thousand Suns until I loved it. Now other then Hunting Party I love all there music (with the exception of Valentine's Day.... Just the end of it...) and I've been more willing to expand into any band or music regardless of old or new sounds, the groups that listen to it, or other people's opinions. Soooo if your as much of a fan of Linkin Park as I am maybe.. you should make a video on them.

Believe it or not, I've only ever really listened to that one song by them that everyone considers super edgy, which I'm guessing you know what I mean. It's not that I'm disinterested, but they're one of those bands for me that I've always meant to listen to, but just never gotten around to. I think once I find some free time though, I probably will.

@@hetareee_I'm not sure what song your talking about, but you definitely should. Besides the fact that they're just great, they've had a huge impact on modern rock and it would be good to explore those roots of metal. They're my #1 favorite band next to Avenged Sevenfold for hard rock.

As i get more time this week i definitely will. Also, the lyrics “crawling in my skin” may help jog your memory.

Thanks!

@@hetareee_ You're welcome!

Thanks so much! Recorded another video today, and it should be out within the next couple weeks

dave Just double checking, thd band you suggested is Covet? Also, I just listened to Secret Band for the very first time. Fucking EPIC! I dont know how I'd never heard of the side project.

yeah sorry i couldn't find any pictures of him lol

Is*

of course! thanks for watching!

thanks for watching! glad you enjoyed it :)
