You can tell Tilian wanted this so bad by the smile he had on his face after the ending applause. Any band is lucky to have him do vocals, not only because of his talent, but also because of his sincerity and his dedication and passion.
Tilian has a soft and very high vocal range, while Jonny has more power and vibrato to his that I'm pretty sure everyone would kill for. Tilian did great for his first night, you've got to give the guy some credit. I mean sure it's hard to hit Jonny's high singing notes but Tilain did his best and nailed most of them in his own way while still giving the soul and R&B style to it.
It has already been more than a decade, but I still consider the "Tailored sheets" opening of this song to be the most crucial part of being Emarosa's frontman. Tilian more or less has the power and the range even though he can't do it quite like Jonny. Bradley, on the other hand, could nail Jonny Craig's tone, but he can't pull off Jonny's range.
Anthony Green would be sick too. But Tilian distorts his voice in a similar way to JC and is a better singer overall imo. Anthony Green is awesome too but his technique isn't as good.
Tilian is fantastic, just can't get that same tone as Craig on the iconic "tailored sheets" line. It wasn't awful, by any means. He did great with the rest of the song.
The fact people are hating on his timing is a bit ridiculous. This isn't even Tilian's band. The fact he can even remember the lyrics on such sort notice is something worth mentioning.
Tilian didn't have a long time to practice before doing this show. If I recall, it was just a random spur of the moment thing. Regardless, he is a much better vocalist than Jonny. He hits every SINGLE note that Jonny does. He has a much wider vocal range than Jonny. For people saying that he can't hit the notes Jonny does, Tilian hits them dead on. The only difference is their tone. Of course they will have different tones. Tilian is one of the best vocalists out there.
ParabolH Yeah jonny has so much soul into his singing. He also projects more than tillian. The only reason tillian hits those notes is because he has a high pitched voice. Every song that tillian has covered that jonny sung is never the same. He cant come close to jonny’s greatness!
coldjeanz He said in an interview that he did less rasp and grit in Acceptance Speech because Jon pretty much had it covered. He brought some of it back in Instant Gratification though. Maybe he'll go all out in DGD8?
Wow, Haters everywhere~ At least Tilian has Jonny range, he may not have the vibratto that Craig does, but, he can do the job better than most of you saying he can't. He may have said tailored 4 times where he shouldn't, but the fact that it's been pointed out shows how much we like to see people fail. Kudos to thee, Tilian.
jonny and tilian have different voices dont compare the 2. they both have a unique sound and they both do there thing tilian was just tryna help the band, seriously people stop talkin shit.
@thescarletsilence I wholeheartedly agree with you on all fronts. But reading your comment brings up a question: Why was Emarosa + Tilian never an option for a long-term solution? This video shows that both parties work well and they genuinely sound good together. This was always considered a temporary collaboration, just never understood why permanence was never an option. Just a thought.
I hope Tillian takes Jonny's place permanently in Emarosa. The dude needs a new project, and they obviously need a good vocalist that hold his shit together.
I can't see how this guy is any more distinctive than Jonny Craig. Craig's got an amazing soulful voice, like a rock version of Michael Jackson in that he can dial in the grit and play around the notes so easily, with or without vibrato. IMO the best rock singer since Chris Cornell. Pearson can hit the notes, but he sounds like Craig Owens, Anthony Green, other good high pitched rock singers, but doesn't have that extra something that sets himself apart from his peers.
@THESWP2008 I think this video actually proves that he doesnt have many limitations he completely nailed this song and its not even in his normal vocal range
jonny craig has an overall wider vocal range, but tilian go higher and has a way purer voice. But what makes jonny so good is the dirt in his voice, and the pitch wobbling.. They're both really good vocalists.
Let's not forget a few things. Firstly, a lot of Emarosa's songs will have been centred around Jonny's voice. Second, This is live. Jonny would do the better job, but let's not compare it to the recording on the album. Finally, the guy's doing this on short notice. He won't know the songs very well and has to learn all of them, so he can't spend enough time perfect any of them. I respect him, and think he did as good a job as anyone else could've done in his position. Still should've been me.
@lukedemers Plenty, but it doesn't mean I know the lyrics to every song in their set. Not to mention I would probably have trouble remembering them under the stress of filling in for such a popular vocalist.
Props to Tilian, Tides of Man are an awesome band, don't mind this at all. But man, why is Jonny's personal life so fucked up? One of the most versatile vocalists in the world. And am I the only person that likes his Emarosa work more than his DGD work?
tilian did a badass job... He didnt know when to startt.... i think jonas flagged him when to start.... thats a true brother there.... i enjoy his more aggressive sound... badass job....
Tilian is so great! Not a big fan of Emarosa but I love Tides of Man... Also, in what world is Emarosa better than DGD in any way? Please someone tell me
@AkatsukiPheonix In your opinion! I happen to think Tillian is incredible and the honesty and passion he portrays in his singing is more real to me than Jonny's voice (if that makes any sense). I want to let you know that as a SINGER, I have the UTMOST respect for Jonny, I just happen to like Tillian more, and you like Jonny. Neither of us are wrong, and it is stupid to argue or debate about who is better. At the end of the day, it is a matter of opinion.
For what amounts to a first run through, this really ain't half bad. And in fairness, the live intro is way longer than anybody would expect listening to the album. Nice job.
Tilian is a great vocalist. I hope I get to hear more from him soon. It was disappointing to hear he had been kicked from Tides, considering they are a great band with alot of original ideas. They really stood apart, and Tilian added to that aspect. He might not have the same ability as JC, but he hits the notes in his own way and pulls it off despite the nay-saying.
@RianHeartattack not necessarily i mean they went from hardcore screamo to more light rocky post hardcore , maybe they will return to there roots as corsets are cages and get Chris Roetter back :)
in my personal opinion Emarosa is Jonny Craig's voice only :( and DGD sounds good with or without Jonny and John and i'm happy that both are back in DGD but why the fuck Jonny was kicked out from Emarosa
I feel like I missed a moment in history by missing Tilian singing this song.
You can tell Tilian wanted this so bad by the smile he had on his face after the ending applause. Any band is lucky to have him do vocals, not only because of his talent, but also because of his sincerity and his dedication and passion.
This comment has aged very well
@@FreakinFuzz no kidding, glad he didnt stay with emarosa or i wouldnt have listened, their direction with brad is terrible IMO
@@DrewIsARealBoy i fuckin LOVE new Emarosa
Y’all been binging DGD related content in quarantine too?
I could honestly say that I would have been quite happy if Tillian would have joined Emarosa. He is however, fucking great in DGD.
I think dgd was the best band for him, but saosin would have been my second choice with emarosa third tbh
Tilian has a soft and very high vocal range, while Jonny has more power and vibrato to his that I'm pretty sure everyone would kill for.

THIS IS GOLD OMFG BRINGING ME BACK I SAW THIS IN CHICAGO

TAILORED!!!
i love how jonny just runs around leaving his mark on bands and then leaving
"leaving" LOL that mf'er has been kicked out of every band he's ever been in. Multiple times, in some cases
LOLOLOLOLOL HIS TIMING AT THE BEGINNING XD
Great singer though, should defo stay with Emarosa! :)
ridiculously hard song to cover, props to tilian
'Scuse me Tilian, why you so amazing?
He's incredible, honestly....
But no one can own on this song, like jonny...
Tilian is probably the best JC replacement you can find.
Anthony green, would probably be your best bet in finding a fit for the jc voice
I admit I wasn't really thinking when I said that.
I admit I wasn't really thinking when I said that.
Anthony Green would be sick too. But Tilian distorts his voice in a similar way to JC and is a better singer overall imo. Anthony Green is awesome too but his technique isn't as good.
Anthony green is terrible and peaked in 06
Tilian is still amazing, much props for even attempting.
Tilian is fantastic, just can't get that same tone as Craig on the iconic "tailored sheets" line. It wasn't awful, by any means. He did great with the rest of the song.
u guys saying that tillian screwed up?? i thought he was just teasing the crowd!!
He was lol he never messed up.
i love both singers
Tilian is awesome
tides of man and emarosa have toured together more than once, pretty sure tilian loved their album as well.
The fact people are hating on his timing is a bit ridiculous. This isn't even Tilian's band. The fact he can even remember the lyrics on such sort notice is something worth mentioning.
Fair play. I thought he would struggle, but He owned it. Props.
Just got the goosebumps.... so good !
he sounds so much better here than in DGD
Yo, this is honestly historic.
YES IT IS AMEN
Love it. Love Tilian. Love Emarosa. Jonny is neat. 👌🏻🖤
Tilian didn't have a long time to practice before doing this show. If I recall, it was just a random spur of the moment thing. Regardless, he is a much better vocalist than Jonny.

wow i had no idea this happened
He sounds fantastic. Good fill-in for sure.
such a good vocalist :)
Gosh this band sounds SO SO SO much better with Tillian! Let's hope he is a permanent replacement in Emarosa. This band will be great again!
Tilian was a great fill in choice. (:
kinda cool how he messes the beginning^^
just shows how much he wants to start lawl :P
he wasn't a replacement in emarosa, just a touring vocalist. but i know what you mean, jonny-on-the-spot
Thumbs Up for Tilian!
Really not bad, definitely not the same..
I'm going to that show with my boyfriend! I'm totally pumped!
annoys me that he ditched the gritty/raspy sound when he joined DGD. he's one of the few singers who could come close to Jonny in that regard
coldjeanz He said in an interview that he did less rasp and grit in Acceptance Speech because Jon pretty much had it covered. He brought some of it back in Instant Gratification though. Maybe he'll go all out in DGD8?
You got your wish on mothership man
there is totally plenty of rasp in acceptance speech it's just the way it's mixed, how people don't notice is a mystery to me.
Tilian is sick. No matter what people say. Tilian is a fucking MURDERER on vocals. He easily covers Jonny's range. Just in a different octave.
Wow, Haters everywhere~ At least Tilian has Jonny range, he may not have the vibratto that Craig does, but, he can do the job better than most of you saying he can't. He may have said tailored 4 times where he shouldn't, but the fact that it's been pointed out shows how much we like to see people fail. Kudos to thee, Tilian.
jonny and tilian have different voices dont compare the 2. they both have a unique sound and they both do there thing tilian was just tryna help the band, seriously people stop talkin shit.
@fallingfromjupiter No, he is not in Saosin. They have already said he didn't make the "cut". I heard Emarosa is thinking of keeping him!
@thescarletsilence I wholeheartedly agree with you on all fronts. But reading your comment brings up a question: Why was Emarosa + Tilian never an option for a long-term solution?

@nitesamba well he joined tides of man in 2007 so that makes him at least 4 years old ;)
So when Jonny Craig leaves Slaves is Tilian going to leave DGD for Slaves? Lol
Here because Jonny just left slaves
Same hahahaha
Haha I’m in the comments baby same notion toooooooo
@@andrewdevall4438 There's no way that was two years ago already lmao
Here because Tilian got kicked out
even though he fucked up at first, i deadass though that was part of the show, u know to get people hype for the song! Tillian is a good ass singer!
I can't see how this guy is any more distinctive than Jonny Craig.

@s0nemore wrong. they're singing the same pretty much. their vocals styles are originally very similar regardless.
Considering all of Emarosa's songs were built around Jonny's voice, Tilian's doing a pretty fucking amazing job.
@cobhatebreeder ur not the only one that man had some great pieces of work
@JarickL Tilian's got an amazing voice... Check out Tides Of Man, his former band... He has a great vocal range and a truly unique sound.
Tilian is good, no doubt... but I'm waiting for him to ascend to greatness. When paired w/ the great John Mess, it will be hard for him to disappoint.
Dang. O.O He's pretty good with these guys.
@pemguinman He's rumored to be with Saosin. Look up " Saosin - Change" not changing. It's fantastic in my opinion.
I hope tillian jones emarosa, that could give them a sweet new sound.
Tilian needs to be with Tides of Man...
Let's not forget a few things. Firstly, a lot of Emarosa's songs will have been centred around Jonny's voice. Second, This is live.

Go back to Tides of Man please. I miss you.
nailed it
Jonny's the best.
Gotta give it up for Tilian! He must of been very nervous to pull of jonnys songs, but i think he did a really good job! Big ups!
I kinda like the mess up 4 times in the beginning, he plays it off well as well.
@lukedemers
Plenty, but it doesn't mean I know the lyrics to every song in their set. Not to mention I would probably have trouble remembering them under the stress of filling in for such a popular vocalist.
He sounds out of place on their second albums songs, but He kills it with relativity.
They should take him! He's be a worthy replacement for sure. And he should pick up a guitar and add awesome stuff :-)
@tomforster2010 lol was that a joke, I found it fucking hilarious
Props to Tilian, Tides of Man are an awesome band, don't mind this at all. But man, why is Jonny's personal life so fucked up? One of the most versatile vocalists in the world. And am I the only person that likes his Emarosa work more than his DGD work?
He sounds much better on this one than "A Toast to the Future Kids"
tilian did a badass job... He didnt know when to startt.... i think jonas flagged him when to start.... thats a true brother there.... i enjoy his more aggressive sound... badass job....
i wonder how jonny feels being replaced by tilian in both jonny's bands first emarosa, and now dance gavin dance. lol.
Didn't expect much. Being asked to fill in for Jonny Craig is like being asked to walk on water for Jesus.
Emarosa isn't Jonny's first band, but we get your point.
@cobhatebreeder well its not only his work. Dgd has will swan and matt mingus. emarosa is only known for johnny. Dgd isnt known for just johnny
@ParabolH demo from saosin or emarosa? cuz im waiting to hear something from saosin :o
Yeah you're actually right, near the end he strays off. But I still prefer Tilian over Johnny.
pretty cool, i like tilian in tides of man
Tilian is so great! Not a big fan of Emarosa but I love Tides of Man... Also, in what world is Emarosa better than DGD in any way? Please someone tell me
The guys in Emarosa are far more talented than any of the DGD musicians. I seriously love DGD, but they don't even compare IMHO.
I played a show with Tilian once and asked him what was the deal about that and he said he only had like 2 or 3 days of practice with the band.
well the guitarist had to tap his shoulder to tell him when to start.
@s0nemore These are still the same notes, it's just his voice. It's more reedier than Jonny's.
@spideyjoe1 He's doing it man. When you're doing it, and are obviously doing better, speak up.
@AkatsukiPheonix In your opinion! I happen to think Tillian is incredible and the honesty and passion he portrays in his singing is more real to me than Jonny's voice (if that makes any sense).

He might not have the same ability as JC, but he hits the notes in his own way and pulls it off despite the nay-saying.
He'll get better with time! I'm trying to go see him with my girlfriend in november. He'll be in chicago with DGD!
If Jonny had to leave Emarosa, and Tilian replaced him, I wouldn't be all that sad about it LOL.
oh wow he is actually okay, but whatever I'll follow them
Jesus, Tilian fucking *KILLED* it. I love Tilian now, but I missed his style here so much.
Oh my God he really screwed up the beginning...but it's ok,it was his first show. I actually like the voice.
@RianHeartattack not necessarily i mean they went from hardcore screamo to more light rocky post hardcore , maybe they will return to there roots as corsets are cages and get Chris Roetter back :)
I know Tillian is good but no one is better than Jonny
any one know what tilians doin now?
@maynardMANTIC are you aware that their guitarist wrote most of the lyrics?
in my personal opinion Emarosa is Jonny Craig's voice only :(
and DGD sounds good with or without Jonny and John and i'm happy that both are back in DGD but why the fuck Jonny was kicked out from Emarosa
@JohnnyLeonardMane You obviously have never listened to Tides Of Man.
@cobhatebreeder I think Craig sounded much better with Emarosa than with DGD, so you're not alone on that lol
