I think its very unfair how some people are giving Ben shit for talking Danny down. As fans we probably only saw a quarter of how Danny really is...none of us have any idea how he was with the rest of the band members behind the scenes and we don't know what he put those guys through but I think its pretty obvious that Danny stopped caring about Asking Alexandria a long time ago. Seeing Danny give up on something that they've all worked so hard to keep alive was obviously very hard on them (it would be on anyone) so I personally think Ben has every reason to be a bit hostile towards him.
I don't think it was easy for Danny neither, i mean he took the decision of leave a project where he has been very years, and when your are not feeling good with something is really hard to keep going, so he choose whatever makes him happy so he can put all of his passion into it (sorry for my english)
+Clifford Affliction Well, from what i understood, Danny did not want to scream anymore, he was very hard to get into the studio and developed a drinking problem, and eventually left, if you look at the channel you see that they have recorded a couple of acoustic covers with Danny's amazing rock voice, and i think that was a very good sigh that he was done with metalcore and wanted to do something else. Personally i think We Are Harlot is so much better because they do not use autotune in their songs which is usually a sigh that a band has little talent but that's just me
+Niloc Namgreb Just an FYI dude, almost every single recording band nowadays uses autotune to some degree. Even country singers. It polishes up the final sound of the album.
+chrizz pach Danny's Direction was almost a completely different genre, which honestly wasn't fair to AA. We're obviously not gonna get what we got in AAs first two albums because they too wanted to go in a different direction, a more mature sound while staying true to their roots, which is proven in their new stuff.
JU2TIC3 F0R A11 no he doesn't..... what proof do you have??? there's multiple videos of him singing straight into the camera. Plus he's sang directly to me face to face, annnnnnddd sounded exactly the same
Everyone hates Ezekiel everyone uses autotune and pitch correction... and I can tell you for a fact that danny had more editing done to his pitch and vocals than denis
+Elmergh Reyes They weren't able to release it for a lot of reasons. The main reason is because their last tour. The album was completely recorded before that but Sumerian is trying to max profits on a band that makes alot of money.
I'm super late, but this interview is so fucking loaded. I mean, its like the interviewer is intentionally trying to stir something up between Danny and the new AA. He left, Dennis joined, they're a new band, its done and over. Quit sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, they're people too.
Danny is one of the best Vocalists out there for any kind! Clean as well with the hardcore vocals, AA isn't going be as popular without Danny. I admit the new song with Denis is cool but Danny always had a better voice and his far more talented then Denis or any major screamo bands lol. #Respectful Opinion
Everyone in Asking Alexandria want to say "nah, we're all over it now" but whenever they talk about Danny or Dennis you can hear ow fucking salty they are. Rightfully so, but just admit you're pissed the fuck off.
I believe that both Danny and Dennis were good in their own ways. When it came to the band AA. They both gave the band something special. Danny left cause he didn't feel it anymore oh well then Dennis is going to continue on the legacy of the band.
***** he had his problems, but he went to rehab to sort all of that out... Bens pissed because Danny changed his singing style to more mature sounding screams and cleans... Than ben started crying and they started to argue all the time until danny decided to say see you later because all of the arguing was pissing him off. And now ben is acting like a littles child over it all
+TeaBagTroopers ''I like the fact that you say these things as if you were actually there. Matter of fact is; you weren't. ''' Same with you. Everybody knows that Danny changed his singing style, you don't need to be '''there'' to know that it's clear as fuck mate, and it's CLEAR that Ben is is mad about the fact that Danny changed his voice, you don't need to be there to know some facts about someone, infact, if you can't be able to see this you are indeed very stupid
madalin radu exactly... Ben has acted like a loser about the whole situation, as for this guy, we all know that Danny has been clean since rehab and drinks alot less than he used to, so that is obviously no excuse. Its because Ben doesnt like the fact that Danny had to change his voice because of all the damage he had caused to his vocals (and i personally prefer his new voice, the screams sounded alot better, and his cleans are great). Also we do know that Ben considers FDTD their worst album (which I disagree with, it was better than R&R IMO, and lyrically/vocally it was by far their best album) What pisses me off most about him is the fact that he says he will not discuss Danny or write songs about Danny, but the first two singles released were all about Danny (lets face it, they werent great singles either... they sucked) and all he does during this entire interview is bag danny out and comparing him to Dennis (I mean no dis-respect to Dennis, but he is an awful singer compared to Danny)
They're entitled to feel how they want but I think what Ben said about Danny at the end was pretty shitty.. made it sound like being a bandmate to him was so fucking miserable that it ruined the show. I don't care about what I'm playing, or the audience, or anything else ... I just care that I don't like what my singer is doing. What the hell man, come on lol
Stop trying to instigate drama between Ben and Danny. That's very unprofessional to do. Ben and Danny has a mutual respect for each other and I'm very proud of them for keeping it that way.
it's kind of bugging me that they seem to be using denis as a tool to get back at danny. like he's a person and idk how he feels about it but if i were him i'd be kind of uncomfortable
why are you not uploading anymore? Its been6 months. You said you interveiwed the ex singer member the day after but never uploaded it xc. Maybe its just my connection idk
Denis is definitely better for the band. The man has got a great voice but he didn't give a shit about this band and it was quite obvious, Every performance and every interview was half assed bullshit and quite disappointing. I don't see why people keep comparing him to Danny, they're so different. The only thing that really sucks is to see their friendship go to shit.
When everyone's complaining about the whole comparison between Danny and Denis, then there's me who's watching this end of November going over how Ben said an album would be out October-November ... WHERE THAT ALBUM AT THOUGH 😂
Why do interviewers often have to insert themselves into the personal lives of bands and their history? Really awkward. "Do you guys want to say hi to Danny?"
what he means is that unlike Denis who takes care of his voice by drinking only when he has a day off the next day, Danny didn't give a shit and drank without considering that. tbh I like Danny better. Denis doesn't sound as good as him live.
+Darlenne Reyes I mean when Danny first left Ben was all over him I'm not saying Dennis is a bad singer it just feels like Ben is throwing him under the bus you know what I mean?
+Darlenne Reyes They were best friends for like 8 years or more. The the opening or whatever to 'Don't Pray For Me' you can even here Danny addressing whoever that crowd is talking about how Ben was his best friend and was there for him through rehab and shit
So late to this party.........does anybody else think that Cameron looks sad about Danny not being around anymore? More so compared to the other guys I mean.
Listening to Reckless & Relentless ad hearing Dennis makes me question if I should keep AA as my favorite band anymore. For example in their new song Undivided sounds great. But then I think how much better it would with Danny's screams from and it gets me upset.DAMMIT why'd Danny have to leave off with a bad taste for his fans. Like how are the fans who loved Danny's singing so much feel now? (Rhetorical)
its sad how they've been trough a lot with danny, i mean sure they're angry at him for leaving but they cant hate him forever, without him they wouldnt be where they are. And if you look at the old interviews how happy ben and danny were together, it makes me sad to see what kind of assholes they are to eachother!
Personally I would like Denis to stay, but I hope that one day Ben and Danny will be friends again and maybe we would hear AA song with Denis & Danny. :P
Yeah Danny may be a douche now but think about it, he made AA this big. I don't think Denis vocal will do such a big impact for them if he was the first vocalist. Danny is the legend still.
Yah, that kid (Denis) can't hold the sustain for long range vocals... For many much times I'm always find him couldn't reach the vocals part on BREATHLESS (chorus). Nor NOT AMERICAN AVERAGE (verse)
Danny was until his Vocal cords got screws up, Then he sounded pretty bad live, plus he wanted the band the Mello down to the 80s type of band, but Ben wanted to still be heavy. That's why Death to destiny wasn't the best new album for a reason. If you listen to all the tracks in order, It starts out heavy like most of us wanted, but as it goes on it starts to turn into a bunch of just soft singing, n' stuff.
Man Ben just doesn't give 2 shits about talking shit about Danny XD the whole "Denis ACTUALLY cares about his voice unlike our old singer who couldn't care less" had me dying xD
+SkullPunisher446 That has nothing to do with my point. You argued that they use auto-tune against the fact that they said "passion in what you write". Those do not have anything to do with each other. How they present the lyrics is their choice, and if it goes together, it works. Also, it is talent, because I don't see you making multi-album records. Come back when you make one album, better than them, and I will THEN agree with you. But until you can prove that Asking Alexandria has no talent whatsoever, fuck off.
Now: "will they have contact with Denis?"
I think its very unfair how some people are giving Ben shit for talking Danny down. As fans we probably only saw a quarter of how Danny really is...none of us have any idea how he was with the rest of the band members behind the scenes and we don't know what he put those guys through but I think its pretty obvious that Danny stopped caring about Asking Alexandria a long time ago.

+Clifford Affliction I think exactly the same!!! Finally someone!!! Thanks!!!
+Clifford Affliction Well, from what i understood, Danny did not want to scream anymore, he was very hard to get into the studio and developed a drinking problem, and eventually left, if you look at the channel you see that they have recorded a couple of acoustic covers with Danny's amazing rock voice, and i think that was a very good sigh that he was done with metalcore and wanted to do something else.

+Niloc Namgreb Just an FYI dude, almost every single recording band nowadays uses autotune to some degree. Even country singers. It polishes up the final sound of the album.
Battlescar2 "Polish", i like some unpolished in my music, it makes it interesting to listen to, metalcore is pretty boring in that perspective
what kills me is Danny and Dennis are two different people. Please stop comparing them because AA is going into a New direction
+JT Nicholson actually Danny left because he wanted to go a new direction and AA wanted to stay the same
+JT Nicholson listen to Blind Date 101 by Make Me Famous (dennis old band) and youll see why they are compared
+chrizz pach Danny's Direction was almost a completely different genre, which honestly wasn't fair to AA. We're obviously not gonna get what we got in AAs first two albums because they too wanted to go in a different direction, a more mature sound while staying true to their roots, which is proven in their new stuff.
AA also has changed their music after and now
People need to stop comparing the two vocalist's, you argue that they are the same, but in truth they are. They are two different people.
It's the Escape the Fate Ronnie vs. Craig thing all over again -_-
lmao I know right
+Jhonny Garcia no... defiantly not. so different lol
+Jhonny Garcia So who's gonna win this one? Ronnie beat Craig in their feud he won. Now this one who wins?
+Evan Faraday how did Ronnie win?
Deuce and Ronnie were both kicked out the bands they made popular, Danny left on his own.
Not the same.
When the interviewer asked them if they wanted to say hi i legit felt the awkwardness.. jheez
Anyone else watching this being like ha Danny’s back in AA
Fr tho
how fucking healthy does Cameron look now?! O.o damn
+Beckies Charms creeper.
Ivory Raven how is pointing out someones health after theyve come off drugs creepy?
+Beckies Charms dang
+DeepThroatRazorBlades uhhhh... Okkaaaayyy there buddy. Sorry about your tourette's... That can't be fun.
+Beckies Charms Danny fucked him up bad now that he's gone he's healthy now.
FIRST COMMENT!!
I love Denis so much, he's made this band so much better. Danny's cool too but damn Denis always kills it!
Scott Buchanan how am i retarded?? Its the truth, without autotune, Dennis sounds awful...
JU2TIC3 F0R A11 no he doesn't..... what proof do you have???
there's multiple videos of him singing straight into the camera. Plus he's sang directly to me face to face, annnnnnddd sounded exactly the same
Everyone hates Ezekiel everyone uses autotune and pitch correction... and I can tell you for a fact that danny had more editing done to his pitch and vocals than denis
Scott Buchanan not live...
ask joey sturgis who uses more... as he is the one who edited both of their voices
Denis is doing the right thing
He said the album is coming out October/September, now the album comes out march 25
Yeah, sometimes it takes 10 months
+Elmergh Reyes They weren't able to release it for a lot of reasons. The main reason is because their last tour. The album was completely recorded before that but Sumerian is trying to max profits on a band that makes alot of money.
Greg Allen Already knew dude, btw thanks
Elmergh Reyes yw
same with Pierce The Veil
I'm super late, but this interview is so fucking loaded. I mean, its like the interviewer is intentionally trying to stir something up between Danny and the new AA. He left, Dennis joined, they're a new band, its done and over. Quit sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, they're people too.

#Dannyisthebest
+William Ronaldo Just give Denis time to grow as a vocalist, he's only 23 lmao
+Pink guy and Danny started when he was 19, so what's the point?
Fede4K And Danny wasn't very good when he first started
Denis needs time to grow as a musician, his vocals aren't fully developed yet.
Everyone in Asking Alexandria want to say "nah, we're all over it now" but whenever they talk about Danny or Dennis you can hear ow fucking salty they are. Rightfully so, but just admit you're pissed the fuck off.
I believe that both Danny and Dennis were good in their own ways. When it came to the band AA. They both gave the band something special. Danny left cause he didn't feel it anymore oh well then Dennis is going to continue on the legacy of the band.
Asking Alexandria was very good with Danny
Danny's cleans and screams are so much better than Dennis'. I do not understand why Ben keeps bashing Danny's voice, as it is clearly better.
+Jordan Bannantine I'm not trying to start a comment war about whos better this is just my opinion.. i'll have to agree with you..
+Jordan Bannantine hes just mad... everything he has said in this video contradicts his actions... Ben has lost my respect
***** he had his problems, but he went to rehab to sort all of that out... Bens pissed because Danny changed his singing style to more mature sounding screams and cleans... Than ben started crying and they started to argue all the time until danny decided to say see you later because all of the arguing was pissing him off.

"do you wanna say hi?" "hum... nah." // "we're on good terms" AHAHAH TRUE
Stop trying to instigate drama between Ben and Danny. That's very unprofessional to do. Ben and Danny has a mutual respect for each other and I'm very proud of them for keeping it that way.
Dennis is as good as Dany!! I loveeee AA!!!
Danny and Ben started working on a song together with Matt Good today
Where has this channel gone
it's kind of bugging me that they seem to be using denis as a tool to get back at danny. like he's a person and idk how he feels about it but if i were him i'd be kind of uncomfortable

That's their job they want to give these kind of informations to the fans because that's exactly what the fans want
You can tell how annoyed they were by him constantly talking about Danny. He was definitely trying to start some shit and they knew it.
I love how Ben says Danny didn't care about his voice Danny is the reason asking Alexandria got this far Danny will always be better
what he means is that unlike Denis who takes care of his voice by drinking only when he has a day off the next day, Danny didn't give a shit and drank without considering that. tbh I like Danny better. Denis doesn't sound as good as him live.
+Darlenne Reyes I mean when Danny first left Ben was all over him I'm not saying Dennis is a bad singer it just feels like Ben is throwing him under the bus you know what I mean?
Yea its sad though cus I thought they were closer than that
+Darlenne Reyes they used to be
+Darlenne Reyes They were best friends for like 8 years or more. The the opening or whatever to 'Don't Pray For Me' you can even here Danny addressing whoever that crowd is talking about how Ben was his best friend and was there for him through rehab and shit
Wow so if they see Danny they won't say fuck all to him that's just disrespect the guy who made the band fucking bs dude
So late to this party.........does anybody else think that Cameron looks sad about Danny not being around anymore? More so compared to the other guys I mean.
1:12 shots fired
lol damn that shade xD

I finally get their name.....
Dennis is better than Danny. End of story. Especially tecnique wise.
nah
I agree
nah 2013 Danny was a monster.
no way man danny has diversity..
Dennis > modern danny
Young danny > Dennis
its sad how they've been trough a lot with danny, i mean sure they're angry at him for leaving but they cant hate him forever, without him they wouldnt be where they are. And if you look at the old interviews how happy ben and danny were together, it makes me sad to see what kind of assholes they are to eachother!
WHEN THE FUCK IS BEN GETTING HIS ARM FINISHED?! FUCK!
I like how Ben said "it goes from here to here to here" talking about his brain, then his dick, then his tattoo
is this page dead??
Danny Will Return, Iron Maiden's Singer Bruce Left and Then Returned, The Same Thing Happened With Judas Priest
Don't forget Black Sabbath and Killswitch Engage too ;)
Personally I would like Denis to stay, but I hope that one day Ben and Danny will be friends again and maybe we would hear AA song with Denis & Danny. :P
Congratulations, you're a prophet
why down Danny's voice. Don't be that guy.....
Danny made this band big. These guys are just pitiful bashing on him like that....
Yeah Danny may be a douche now but think about it, he made AA this big. I don't think Denis vocal will do such a big impact for them if he was the first vocalist. Danny is the legend still.
October or November, try March.
You should interview twenty one pilots.
Seriously.
Man... The guy sounds like a whiney x girlfriend about Danny. Of course the obligatory song about the ex singer has been done.
Yah, that kid (Denis) can't hold the sustain for long range vocals...
For many much times I'm always find him couldn't reach the vocals part on BREATHLESS (chorus). Nor NOT AMERICAN AVERAGE (verse)
haha Cam is rattled
Asking Alexandria Became an alternative band...C'mon mate I want the hard core stuff not sentimental SHIT!!!
must suck for denis if he has to put that much effort in, to sound half as good as danny..
its funny that denis tries to get the best of his voice with no drinking and all that bullshit but danny worsnop is still 1000 time better XD
***** da faq? Danny was complete crap live
***** back in like 2010 he was, after that he really became shit. Denis is 10x better than him now and has a much better presence on stage.
+GuiEpidemic gay
Danny was until his Vocal cords got screws up, Then he sounded pretty bad live, plus he wanted the band the Mello down to the 80s type of band, but Ben wanted to still be heavy.

Their ex dude
These dudes seem pretty neat. Their music isn't really metal enough for me, but these guys still seem pretty cool.
Really no drinking from Denis? Is he doing other things because he looked smashed in a couple of videos
"passionate in what you whrite"... THEY USE FUCKING AUTO-TUNE HOW IS THAT PASSION OR TALENT?
Last time I checked, Autotune has nothing to do with what lyrics are chosen for a song.
+SkullPunisher446 That has nothing to do with my point. You argued that they use auto-tune against the fact that they said "passion in what you write". Those do not have anything to do with each other. How they present the lyrics is their choice, and if it goes together, it works.

why Danny left
How stupid do they feel now
Gay.
