As someone who can relate to this on an almost eerie level (ive watched my sister in this cycle 16 years.) I can tell you this isn't easy for him. But it's also very cathartic. Same reason i listen to the song.
most underrated current modern rock band hands down. This band pours their heart and soul into their music. Glad I got the meet and greet and got to talk to them on their bus.
Rock isnt cool anymore, thats a good thing every kid in highschool isnt wearing a breaking Benjamin T shirt just cause the cool kids do. So when you see a rocker now they are a real one
@@milkboi2386 I don’t agree with you. AC/DC new album, SOAD’s coming back, RATM is coming back, new albums by almost every band between 2020 and 2021, you are wrong. The thing is about rock is that it’s not on the radio a lot, except for rock radios, but they only play things like Tom Petty and shit. Unless you’re listening to a hard rock radio like the one they have in St. Catherines.
Bro I’m 40 and I found their song “this is the time” and thought it was a well written rock song. Then I found “I’ll be ok” “jenny” and “fade in/out” and I’m convinced they were the best writers in their genre at the time hands down. Unbelievable story telling
The bass guy looks like the real bass player was sick but they knew a local accountant who could really shred so you hired him for the day. He is the real MVP of this video.
Fun fact is that, Dan, the bass player was an mechanical engineer before Nothing More really took off and started touring full time. He built the Scorpion Tail contraption himself
I don't know how he puts on such a masterful performance without cracking with what the words mean to him. There's a few songs to this day when I sing I just can't get through. Such a performer.
Recovering addict myself clean 8 years now, thing they don't tell you is getting clean is the easy part. Repairing the damage done and rebuilding your life after is the hard part.
it could be his in-ear monitors were faulty, he was thumping at it at 1:29. And then his hand gestures that followed after that was a signal to continue with the performance
@@paulifea7072As someone have said, I think it is more like he expressing feelings and emotions related with the lyrics. And when he take it off is because of the part of the song that continues. He's singing about his sister and mother and painful memories. So I see it more like disconnecting from all and perform from his guts...
I love Johnny's energy in his performance. I saw NM live (I never heard of them before) with my favorite band Breaking Benjamin and heard them perform "Jenny". I was like damn! Blew my mind. I became a fan instantly, and I have seen them 6 times since they came to Denver / Colorado Springs CO.
Estévan Loredo LOL im in your same situation except I'm just about to see them in the 25 of this month. This is the first song I heard from them and they are damn good! I'm only going for Breaking Benjamin but got into them and Bad Wolves. FFdp is still lame in my opinion
Was that when they were on tour with Breaking Benjamin and Shinedown? That is the same tour I fell in love with Nothing More. Went for Breaking Benjamin and Shinedown (my favorite band) and this was the best opener you could ever have. haha
I love seeing a young crowd singing to this song. Also I like the fact that they run together instead of a mosh pit, thats also awesome. Love Nothing More, the band has helped me through the toughest times in my life.
Mirra Hays mosh pits are for a different reason, they’re more of a way to release aggression than anything else. That doesn’t mean everyone is against each other, as most I’ve been in are full of nice people that help you if you fall and exchange handshakes and high fives after sets.
Love the band, specifically the bass player. Never seen a performance where he isn't feeling the music every second. Quickly becoming my favorite bass player.
Why do I keep seeing this same comment on every band's videos? Yes he has a great live voice. There are many other great live voices in rock. I don't know why we keep acting like there are only a couple vocalists with great live voices.
I love how Jonny powered through eventhough he had problems with the earbuds. I saw them live on a really small concert in Hamburg this year and it was SO good. I love small concerts they always feel much more personal especially with songs like "Jenny". I hope to see you again soon!! 💕🤘
What I appreciate most, and what chokes me up is just imagine... You lose someone so important, and there's so much pain involved. You write a song that is so incredibly personal... Now imagine thousands of people singing those words back to you in unison. It feels like such a shared pain, to have lost someone so significant and by such a cruel way that is addiction and yet majority of people singing the song has never lost a sibling... And yet, they feel that pain. That is what makes this a masterpiece. It's so unifying and freeing for those suffering this specific loss, feeling alone in their despair and when this song is sung by thousands - they finally feel understood. Nothing More is truly a gift.
I saw them open for Papa Roach only a few months ago without knowing who they were and became an instant fan. Now they are touring with Bad Wolves and can't wait to see them again in August.
Saw them play in NY and when this song started everyone stopped bouncing and stood quietly until the heavy part came in. Most of us were singing through tears and it was so cathartic
Honestly this song hits me so hard because I was going through a hard thing with certain pills a few years ago and my brother told me to listen to this and I start shaking and crying every time I listen to it
Much love for you guys! You're not only amazing musicians, but your lyrics inspire and help a lot of people with their own struggles. Your performance in Bulgaria recharged my batteries. Hope to see you again!
I battle depression anxiety ptsd and look after my twin brothers who struggle with it and addiction...hoping the curtain doesn't close..the last 7 years have been hell and just found out my mom was diagnosed with emphysema and my dad is struggling as well
Great song. My sisters name is jenny, she dealt with the same drug abuse and gambling. She finally got cleaned up just before my dad passed. I played this for her and she cried so hard knowing how much of the story of this song was hers
Found them like 2 weeks or so ago on Spotify. Their song Fade In/Fade Out was on a Rock Ballads playlist. As soon as the chorus hit, I was hooked. Loved it so much I looked up more stuff. Ended up listening to a mix of songs from all 3 albums. It Seems from their first album hit me hard. Another song that on the first listen, the chorus hit and I was hooked big time. Definitely my favorite song of theirs. Everything is great, I love all the realness to the lyrics rather than just fluff like you hear so much of. I'll be seeing them next month in Philly and I look forward to it more than any of the other 2 shows I've got coming up too. Knew of them barely a week before buying early entry tickets to their show. Record fast for me!
I never would have guessed, back in 2005 when I first got to know these guys, that they would be playing one of the biggest festivals in Europe, and have thousands of fans singing along! They have put in years of hard work, and tough times, to get where they are. Well deserved!
This song really resonates with my own experiences. I've dealt with addiction throughout my childhood and adult life, and he touches the heart of the issue, especially the selfish and self destructive behavior. Anyone who has had to cope with an addict in their own family knows how hurtful their behavior can be.
You made me cry so much during this live show I wasn’t there but the passion you have... I also have a Personality Disorder and it really hits deep that you would sing this for your sister. Good job man. I’m so proud of you. You are my favorite singer out there.
His strumming my pain with his fingers yes he was singing my life with his words killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his words. My mother fought cancer for year's and stuck around for me the most but this jenny did it I got clean for her and gave her that peace of mind.great song may your jenny find her way because its a hard road to travel.
Man oh man... where was I?? This Is Awesome.. Makes Me Happy.. discovered this band jus now! I'm An instant Fan.. never thought this kinda band existed anymore.. rocking.. a die hard pantera and an ex metal head here. peace keep on rocking
This is one of those songs that sound wayyy better live. I saw them in september at darien with fivd finger. Thats how i discovered them. They are amazing
I discovered this video today and have watched it eight times today because of two reasons: 1: Amazing pefomance, vocals on point, bass sounds like actual bass, everything is just so good, not to mention the deep and touching lyrics that have made me cry before. 2: girl at 2:35
I just heard them the first time opening up for ghost a few weeks ago. Their stage presence is amazing and that band it self, speechless, daily listener for me!

Honestly I hope he never gets tired of singing this!
Man I was thinking the same thing. Makes me appreciate the music even more
As someone who can relate to this on an almost eerie level (ive watched my sister in this cycle 16 years.)
I can tell you this isn't easy for him. But it's also very cathartic. Same reason i listen to the song.
Pretty sure he doesn't perform God Went North for exactly that reason

The bass guy looks like the real bass player was sick but they knew a local accountant who could really shred so you hired him for the day. He is the real MVP of this video.
He actually looks a lot like the famous Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal.
Fun fact is that, Dan, the bass player was an mechanical engineer before Nothing More really took off and started touring full time. He built the Scorpion Tail contraption himself
my accountant guess was so close!
He actually a pretty good accountant.
He can also sing really well
You can see the pain and emotion in him when he sings. Love this band since Octane showcased them
I don't know how he puts on such a masterful performance without cracking with what the words mean to him. There's a few songs to this day when I sing I just can't get through. Such a performer.
Recovering addict myself clean 8 years now, thing they don't tell you is getting clean is the easy part. Repairing the damage done and rebuilding your life after is the hard part.
can we all take a minute to cherish that bass sound?
Always giving themselves 200% on stage. This band is really really special. BIG fan !!!!
Took his ear piece off at 2:32.. Performed like a champ.
it could be his in-ear monitors were faulty, he was thumping at it at 1:29. And then his hand gestures that followed after that was a signal to continue with the performance
@@paulifea7072 I think the hand gesture was about the "relapse, rehab, repeat" lyric.
@@paulifea7072As someone have said, I think it is more like he expressing feelings and emotions related with the lyrics. And when he take it off is because of the part of the song that continues. He's singing about his sister and mother and painful memories. So I see it more like disconnecting from all and perform from his guts...
It was off before 1:18
Finally a video with audio mixing worthy of this band!
I love Johnny's energy in his performance. I saw NM live (I never heard of them before) with my favorite band Breaking Benjamin and heard them perform "Jenny". I was like damn! Blew my mind. I became a fan instantly, and I have seen them 6 times since they came to Denver / Colorado Springs CO.
Estévan Loredo I'm in Denver. Still haven't had a chance to see them.

thanks for specifying that Colorado Springs was in CO
I was front row at that concert. My cousin was hyping up this song so much. They did not disappoint.
Johnny is a once in a generation vocal talent.
Jonny*
Reminds me of the singer from Fair to Midland. I was surprised to hear him hit those highs so effortlessly
Lol no Chester has him beat lol. Good song though
Man if rock and roll was currently mainstream in the media like back in the day theyd be absolutely massive
@@cjmahone3096 Two entirely different styles you buffoon. That's like comparing Three Days Grace to Highly Suspect
I love how Nothing More is samck in the middle between alternative rock and progressive metal.
more like *Alternative Metal* or *Post Hardcore*
Yeah, nothing progressive here. Great band, tho
@@bushiiko not in this track no, but they def have some prog elements in a lot of their stuff
sAmCk
@@judgepage6605definitely
Johnny Hawkins is SUCH an amazing vocalist!!! Truly an inspiration!
I love seeing a young crowd singing to this song. Also I like the fact that they run together instead of a mosh pit, thats also awesome. Love Nothing More, the band has helped me through the toughest times in my life.
Mirra Hays You know you always have a great rock audience outside the U.S
Mirra Hays mosh pits are for a different reason, they’re more of a way to release aggression than anything else. That doesn’t mean everyone is against each other, as most I’ve been in are full of nice people that help you if you fall and exchange handshakes and high fives after sets.
It’s a circle pit
This band isn't heavy enough to have a pit LOL.
@@kingkeltic4228 You aren’t heavy enough to weigh anything you fuck.
I bought their album because of this song, now they are one of my favorite bands. The self titled album goes hard as fuck
Finally, Thank you. I have been requesting this from a long time. Can we have the whole concert please?
Just wanted to say found a comment on a video recommending this band so thank you.
Love the band, specifically the bass player. Never seen a performance where he isn't feeling the music every second. Quickly becoming my favorite bass player.
Did anyone else notice that they played it like half an octave lower than on the album? It still sounds good, just different
One of the few really good live voices out there. Not just studio
Tim Fitzgerald That's because be doesn't use autotune/pitch correction
Why do I keep seeing this same comment on every band's videos? Yes he has a great live voice. There are many other great live voices in rock. I don't know why we keep acting like there are only a couple vocalists with great live voices.
I agree! His voice is genuine
There are plenty out there. Periphery, twelve foot ninja, and tesseract to name a few.
In this moment?
holy crap the bass. holy crap the vocals. the drums are great. the shredding of the guitar. this song is like the best thing I've come across.
That got damn bass is nasty work !! Going off!!! Would’ve loved to witness this live
I can't even imagine how hard it must be for him to perform. We love you guys❣️
I found this band and immediately had to look up a live video because I couldn't believe how good the vocalist is
I love how Jonny powered through eventhough he had problems with the earbuds. I saw them live on a really small concert in Hamburg this year and it was SO good. I love small concerts they always feel much more personal especially with songs like "Jenny". I hope to see you again soon!! 💕🤘
What a composition!!! Hope Jenny is still alive without falling to deep...
I love this band

I saw them open for Papa Roach only a few months ago without knowing who they were and became an instant fan. Now they are touring with Bad Wolves and can't wait to see them again in August.
Going to see them August 1st at the 360 ampitheater, I'm fucking hyped
Seeing them august 24th
@@KHRification Im jealous you will see NM and BW together ;)
Everyone’s singing and smiling. Amazing
this legit brought me to tears, i dont know why, but this metalhead just cried like a baby
My sister died young due to addiction, I feel every word of this song 😢
Blew my speakers playing this for my kids they absolutely get into it. Blessed.
What if a crowed wanted an encore then Jonny walks out an says nothing more drops mic walks off stage.. I wouldn't be mad.
letseewhathappens101 poetic justice!
This song is INTENSE. And Johnny can sing, sing. That hook is my repeat
Saw them play in NY and when this song started everyone stopped bouncing and stood quietly until the heavy part came in. Most of us were singing through tears and it was so cathartic
Please full length concert!! Like dang!! This is amazing!!
By far the best recording I’ve heard. Amazing energy and insane vocals.
I love how it seems like the crowd is kinda vibing and feeling this song, it tells a story
Honestly this song hits me so hard because I was going through a hard thing with certain pills a few years ago and my brother told me to listen to this and I start shaking and crying every time I listen to it
Another band that is fucking amazing live!
This needs to be on spotify
Seeing them on August 7th and i can't wait they're my favorite band😁
Painstaking Gaming where
damat 960 st.louis Missouri
Saw them at 27/6... Man you will enjoy it very much and you wont regret!! They are even better live!
Then why do you have a three days Grace album cover as your profile pic...?
Gaming Day because three days grace was my inspiration to start playing guitar and nothing more is what i want to play
I became nothing more fan three years ago and my biggest dream in this life is to see them. I'm sending you love from Latvia❤💙💜💜💚🎤☺☺☺
Much love for you guys! You're not only amazing musicians, but your lyrics inspire and help a lot of people with their own struggles. Your performance in Bulgaria recharged my batteries. Hope to see you again!
how have i not listened to this band more...? their performance is dope af o.o💯🔥🔥🔥❤✌
I saw these guys 3 weeks ago in Tampa, they are amazing and they are only going to keep getting bigger. Awesome band.
I battle depression anxiety ptsd and look after my twin brothers who struggle with it and addiction...hoping the curtain doesn't close..the last 7 years have been hell and just found out my mom was diagnosed with emphysema and my dad is struggling as well
Base player is that best friend we all have!!
Great song. My sisters name is jenny, she dealt with the same drug abuse and gambling. She finally got cleaned up just before my dad passed. I played this for her and she cried so hard knowing how much of the story of this song was hers
I love that he took out the ear pieces.
This song means more than the band will ever realize...
Sad but great song! When you told everyone who it was about hearts go out to his mother and sister.

This one hits me hard as both a daughter of addicts, and an addicted mother.
Generational trauma, we can stop it, but we gotta stand together 🖤
Can’t believe I’m just now finding this band 🤘🏾
This song makes it all worth it!
Descubrí está canción hace un par de semanas, y no puedo parar de escucharla
The energy of bassist is captivating
i love the energy these guys have on stage is vitalizing
I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THESE GUYS THIS MORNING. SUCH A SOLID BAND !
how have i not seen this band live holy shit
I remember listening to you guys when you had 10k subscribers. Now you're playing in front of gargantuan audiences. I'm so proud
You made me cry so much during this live show I wasn’t there but the passion you have... I also have a Personality Disorder and it really hits deep that you would sing this for your sister. Good job man. I’m so proud of you. You are my favorite singer out there.

What a bandddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
I got chills holy crap
I know this song is about his sister but I really relate to most of the lyrics when it comes to my mom
Jennah Vardy That's the beauty of music. It doesn't matter what it's written about, it's about how you interpret it and how it makes you feel.
#iKnowJenny everybody knows someone. Maybe even themselves
Andrew Pettitt Jenny is a wonderful song #IknowJenny in so many ways it's sad and ridiculous
Jennah Vardy what happened to his sister?
sickflow she's an addict, something that hits all too close to home for a lot of people in America, look up the rest of the story
So much of this generation can relate to this song. Hits home to a lot
Such a beautiful performance!!! Glad to see Love back at them!!
3:38 OMG pure bliss!!!!
This band deserves more views
From the tiny shows in 500 people venues till now, crazy to see how far they've come
I've seen these guys twice live. They only get better.
I MUCH prefer them live. So much raw sound and energy, I love it
Man oh man... where was I?? This Is Awesome.. Makes Me Happy.. discovered this band jus now! I'm An instant Fan.. never thought this kinda band existed anymore.. rocking.. a die hard pantera and an ex metal head here. peace keep on rocking

Cara essa música é pedrada demais.. sempre que eu quero aumentar o ritmo coloco ela pra bater na cabeça kkk
I’m 44 and I’ve just found my new favourite band. Cheers 🤙
I discovered this video today and have watched it eight times today because of two reasons:
1: Amazing pefomance, vocals on point, bass sounds like actual bass, everything is just so good, not to mention the deep and touching lyrics that have made me cry before.
2: girl at 2:35
Metalheads smiling away in the crowd! We love to see it!

Please upload and share more live! Love it so much
I’m going to see them at rock fest tomorrow I can’t wait they are such a great band
Music from the Soul 👊
One of the saddest songs. Don't know how he gets through singing it with how personal it is. 🎉🎉
