basically every single album is a banger there's almost no skips in their entire discography and they went through three different singers already and are moving on to another. best band ever.
I’ve been a DGD fan for a long time and they have a rich history of amazing clean vocals, starting with Jonny Craig. He was difficult to work with and the band had a falling out with him, but Tillian has taken over and he is the real deal. I’ve seen him live and he brings the house down. If you like We Own the Night, I’d recommend Inspire the Liars next. Great song and great music video to react to.
I often go searching for dance gavin dance reactions and I must say you guys are among the most entertaining out there. Please continue down the dgd rabbit hole. So many awesome tracks: inspire the liars, chucky vs the giant tortoise, strawberrys wake, man of the year, betrayed by the game... and some of their older tracks with their previous vocalist like: lemon meringue tie and i told them invented times new roman. Just to name a few. Keep up the good work.
They do sound like this live! I really like Devin (I think that is his name) in the background, jamming out and screaming along, getting lost in his own world. One of my favorite bands; they have a lot of great music out now.
@@mosesvela3197 I’m surviving, thanks for asking. Saw them live again last year. Very impressed. They played Man Of The Year which is just an amazing song anyway.
“I’m kind of mad I’ve never listened to them before.” ….. same man same.. I just discovered them in 2020. OMG you guys need to go down the rabbit hole of Dance Gavin Dance… I dont even know what to recommend… Inspire the liars, Man of the year, Prisoner…. Just do more and I’ll be back to watch!!!!
Fell in love with this band in 2016 and I gotta say, they sound the same live, this band is one hell of a journey so get ready to fall in love with most of their songs 👌 the meaning behind the metaphors and the mathcore melodies together makes them the gem that is a great key to the perfect vibin'. All the tunes are so fun to sing too❤🍻
I just saw them here in Hawaii, and I can fully say without a doubt that yes Tillian absolutely kills it live. They played this song and evaporate as their encore and I was in a state of pure bliss.
nice. highly recommended "Inspire The Liars" and "Man of the Year (album version AND Tree City Sessions 2 version)" And yes Tilian sounds like this live. They recently added Andrew Wells to the band. He has his own band, Eidola, who is on Will Swan's label, Blue Swan Records. Yup, the guitarist of DGD.
Dgd live goes so fucking hard. Tilian is very smooth live and Jon mess is a fucking god. Dude looks like he barely tries. This band is full of straight kings. Rip Tim. Feels bad man.
Yes. You should definitely listen to more. I've been a fan since 2005 and it's all I listen to. Sure, over the years I've branched around to other bands, but these guys are always gonna be number 1 for me. They provide so much content and it's crazy. Yes. 100%
Going to go see them for the first time ever on the 26th! Been my favorite band since 7th grade for me (26 now). Super excited, from the videos I've seen of them live, as well as their tree city session albums, yes, they can do this live.
Oh yeah they sound amazing live its so good. And John Mess is quite possibly my favorite vocalist because in a few of there songs alot of his lyrics make no sense but damn is he amazing 😂
Do every dgd song! Lol I love when people never heard them and seeing them react 😀. as a Sacramento native I watched them play in small churches in Highschool 15-16 years old and a few weeks ago saw them headline thier own festival at age 30 . It’s simply amazing how they keep getting better and better and put out music so constant . And kept the band alive through all the turmoil a lot of bands would of quit or vanished. Rest in rocker heaven Tim 🙏
Seen DGD live a bunch of times and only once was Tillians voice not on point. It was the very last show of the tour and will/the crowd did his parts. Still an amazing experience
I gotta disagree. apart from the obvious lack of autotune present in his voice live, he pronounces his vows very weirdly as well. i’ve also noticed that he tends to either sing a part and then skip a part then resume as if he didnt skip it, or he will use Andrew Wells to fill in the gaps like on Chucky. my opinion but thats just what ive heard when listening to the band live. literally everyone else is consistent though, its just Tilian
@@ryanchain9746 That's literally how 95% of singers do their live performances, ever heard of something called being out of breath? Try singing and moving around constantly for 2 hours straight and you'll understand :)
@@jordanz.908 I watch live performances. Tilly is my fav singer of the 3, but compared to Jonny and Kurt live, Tilian just sucks. compared to 95% of singers, tilian sucks. the best he’s ever sounded was his live acoustic takes with Tides of Man, and the song Ghost. dont hate me cus im right, tilian still sounds the best in the Stu!
They do sound identical live. They choose to move around less and focus more on their quality of sound when on stage. HOWEVER everyone saying to listen to something off of Tree City Sessions, those songs were all prerecorded and cleaned up, so technically not a raw performance
This was the song that got me into loving this band. But i heard about this band in their earlier albums like happiness and downtown battle mountain. But acceptance speech was the one that really got me. This band is godly.
I’ve seen them live 12 times, starting in 2011 with Jonny Craig, & one time with Kurt Travis, but 9 times w tilian, & I promise they sound just as great live!!
Love your reactions, and DGD is just right for this! Inspire the Liars, Prisoner, Headhunter, ... You can pick anything off the last albums and get a banger. Hope to see more!
i just searched up "dance gavin dance reaction" and this video came up the first thing i notice is the Elvira cut out in the back lmfaoo what did i get into I don't know these guys but I'm diggin the weirdness. so about dance gavin dance, they had MULTIPLE member changes throughout their career lol their first vocalist Jonny Craig had a drug addiction and had to go to the rehab, Jon Mess (the screamer) also left and the group was kinda about to fall out but Kurt Travis and Will Swan (lead guitarist and founder) took their places for vocal. then the first vocalist comes back and kicks Travis out lol then Jon Mess joins again. anyways he has issues again and eventually leaves then his place gets taken by Tilian (the clean vocalist they have to this day) their history is very complicated and i heard they don't sound that good live unfortunately and heard rumors that Tillan gets tipsty before their shows so 🤷♂️ thanks for reacting, id like to see you guys react to more of their songs from different eras too! some recommendations: -Blue Dream -Strawberry Swisher pt1 -Young Robot -Strawberry's Wake -Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most -Death of Robot with Human Hair -Chucky vs The Giant Tortoise
I love this song so much that I was over the moon when they play this live, problem I can’t remember the concert because someone dropped a girl on my head
More DGD please!! I absolutely love their song "Inspire the Liars". I heard it's about the lead singer's dad is into scientology. The screaming vocals are important too. So I think another lyric video would be great to follow.
2 and a half vocalists. Andrew Wells is the lead singer in his own band Eidola Edit: Also are you drinking a flower vase full of apple juice? What is happening
they are absolutely the real deal. they have been plagued with singer problems for 15 years at this point. theyve changed a few times, 4 different stints with 3 different singers. turns out the most talented people also tend to be troubled, who would have guessed?
I love how much they loved this song. They have sooo many other great ones you all should listen to also! Inspire the liars and One in a Million and two other really good ones too!
Bro this band is in my own opinion, is this best live! I’ve been to 3 of their shows and they bring it every time. I’ve never seen a room move the way their shows get. It’s something to experience! Definitely recommend if you get a chance to go to one of their shows.
I saw DGD in Pittsburgh this past September. They sound just as good live! I recall an interview where they said they don’t move around a lot on stage because they’re all trying their best to deliver studio-quality performances. They’re fantastic. I’d recommend the studio and live (Tree City Sessions) versions of: Robot with the Human Hair, pt 4 Death of a Strawberry Stroke God, Millionaire Man of the Year
What a great rabbit hole to fall down! I know a lot of people will direct you perfectly through their catalogue but they also have a lot of side projects; basically swancore, named after their guitarist Will Swan. Secret Band - Moon Sianvar - 1100 days Royal Coda - Becoming the Memory Hail the Sun - testostyrannosaurus (Not a Swan project but vocalist from Sianvar and just an awesome band) Hope you find the time to check these out and enjoy! Love your vids!
Asking Alexandria's lead screamer used to have a drinking problem which wrecked his physical body including vocals... he took time to get sober and heal... Tillian can sing like this in general
This is the perfect intro to modern DGD. It's got a mix of just about everything they do. Tilian's amazing vocals complimenting Jon's harsh vocals. Then the groovy breakdowns.
Amazing reactions. You should definitely do more. Would love to see an Inspire The Liars reaction! It's one of their most popular songs (for good reason).
You might be right on that particular AA video(when he was younger) but I've seen them live a bunch and Danny is honestly one of the best live vocalists out there. He kills it every single show.
![DANCE GAVIN DANCE - WE OWN THE NIGHT [RAPPER REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
You've stumbled across one of the best bands in the last decade. If you like their style, they have so many solid tracks.
Easily
agreed
basically every single album is a banger there's almost no skips in their entire discography and they went through three different singers already and are moving on to another. best band ever.

Kurt is my favorite, idk y cus he’s technically “the worst”. Kurts era is my favorite lol
@@aaronvilla3824 his new stuff is great too. Royal coda and gold necklace are awesome.
Don't leave out Kurt on that comment
Yesss Inspire the Liars.
It wasn't difficult to work with, difficult to work with would be Craig Owens; Jonny had a very big DRUG problem and it caused a lot of shit
My bro in the back having war flashbacks the second the song plays
That I was. Song slaps my guy
I often go searching for dance gavin dance reactions and I must say you guys are among the most entertaining out there.
Please continue down the dgd rabbit hole.

As as long time DGD fan I LOVE how excited homie in the back is for sharing this song. Right there w/ ya brotha.
I do my best
They do sound like this live! I really like Devin (I think that is his name) in the background, jamming out and screaming along, getting lost in his own world. One of my favorite bands; they have a lot of great music out now.
If DGD ever comes around your city, definitely go see them. One of the most consistent live bands out there. Also check out Man of the Year.
I’ve tried 3 times but everytime the concert got rescheduled because of Covid. And the city of Chicago
I saw them live in 2017. Unfortunately I was horrendously depressed at the time and did not enjoy it at all.
@@AutomaticDuck300how are you now boss ?
@@mosesvela3197 I’m surviving, thanks for asking. Saw them live again last year. Very impressed. They played Man Of The Year which is just an amazing song anyway.

The hype when the screaming starts-Devyn’s just sitting there waiting for everyone to experience the awesomeness for the first time 😆
"Music is what emotion sounds like" dude ive been trying to figure out how to put that to words and you said it perfectly
Oh dude live they are phenomenal it’s uncanny how good they are with their vocals
I just saw them here in Hawaii, and I can fully say without a doubt that yes Tillian absolutely kills it live. They played this song and evaporate as their encore and I was in a state of pure bliss.

They ABSOLUTELY sound this good live. Goddamn you Tillian for being a creeper
I love seeing people discover this band for the first time. They have such a wide variety of music.
Seeing them live twice now, I can say that they are AMAZIBG LIVE!!! My favorite band since I discovered them a couple years ago.
I watch every DGD reaction on youtube because it brings me back almost 15 years ago and the joy I had discovering them for the first time.
Yes. You should definitely listen to more. I've been a fan since 2005 and it's all I listen to. Sure, over the years I've branched around to other bands, but these guys are always gonna be number 1 for me. They provide so much content and it's crazy. Yes. 100%
same for me! i listen to a ton of other stuff but DGD has been the best and most consistent band in my life for like 15 years lol
Dance Gavin Dance is amazing live! You can react to their tree city sessions 2 here on youtube! Their vocals live are mind blowing.
Going to go see them for the first time ever on the 26th! Been my favorite band since 7th grade for me (26 now). Super excited, from the videos I've seen of them live, as well as their tree city session albums, yes, they can do this live.
That might not happen because the bassist Tim just died suddenly.
@@AutomaticDuck300 I'm aware :(
@@HYDN150 RIP
I love watching reactions to this band! I'm jealous cuz i cant hear this again for the first time! lol
Tillian sounds just like that live…he is amazing
I LOVE DGD SMMM! i grew up with emo ass older brothers and uncles so not surprised i turned out to love them!
Oh yeah they sound amazing live its so good. And John Mess is quite possibly my favorite vocalist because in a few of there songs alot of his lyrics make no sense but damn is he amazing 😂
I absolutely loved your guys' reaction to them!! DO MORE PLEASE
Do every dgd song!

They played in churches? The shows must’ve been awesome.

I saw DGD back in October in OKC, best concert I have ever been too. The vocals were amazing!!!
DGD is one of the most ROCK SOLID live bands around! For those that know you know ;)
This was the song that got me into DGD and now I love them. Definitely check out their new song Synergy. It's really good!
Have you tried listening to the Jonny Craig era?
I’ve seen them six times live since 2014… amazingly accurate vocals every time.
They do sound identical live. They choose to move around less and focus more on their quality of sound when on stage. HOWEVER everyone saying to listen to something off of Tree City Sessions, those songs were all prerecorded and cleaned up, so technically not a raw performance
If you want examples of GREAT live performance, check out their performance of Man of the Year live - Tree City Sessions volume 2 :))

Love your reactions, and DGD is just right for this! Inspire the Liars, Prisoner, Headhunter, ...
You can pick anything off the last albums and get a banger. Hope to see more!
RIP Tim. Miss those bass lines🤘🔥
Ive seen these guys live, three different times, and they have been absolutely immaculate every time.
They are even better live. They make their songs look easy in person, like a music video. It's crazy
The dude jamming in the back is honestly a whole fucking vibeeeeee! I fuck with that guy
Thanks bro🤘

their history is very complicated and i heard they don't sound that good live unfortunately and heard rumors that Tillan gets tipsty before their shows so 🤷♂️ thanks for reacting, id like to see you guys react to more of their songs from different eras too!
some recommendations:
-Blue Dream
-Strawberry Swisher pt1
-Young Robot
-Strawberry's Wake
-Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most
-Death of Robot with Human Hair
-Chucky vs The Giant Tortoise
Been listening to them since 2008 with their first EP and finally saw them live in October and oh man they are perfect live
I love this song so much that I was over the moon when they play this live, problem I can’t remember the concert because someone dropped a girl on my head
One of my favorite reactions to DGD I've seen
great video
More DGD please!! I absolutely love their song "Inspire the Liars". I heard it's about the lead singer's dad is into scientology. The screaming vocals are important too. So I think another lyric video would be great to follow.
He’s just as solid live. Tillian has a wildly amazing voice
I love the dude in the back. You rock bro!
saw them during the final warped tour, they are amazing live!
2 and a half vocalists. Andrew Wells is the lead singer in his own band Eidola
Edit: Also are you drinking a flower vase full of apple juice? What is happening
I just stumbled on this after finding out about them in September. I fell in love with them after hearing the jackpot juicer instrumental alone
they are absolutely the real deal. they have been plagued with singer problems for 15 years at this point. theyve changed a few times, 4 different stints with 3 different singers. turns out the most talented people also tend to be troubled, who would have guessed?
I love how much they loved this song. They have sooo many other great ones you all should listen to also! Inspire the liars and One in a Million and two other really good ones too!
They sound amazing live. Seen them three times
I’ve seen them live 4 times and everytime they sound exactly like the studio version. My favorite bad to go watch a show
10:42 Everyone raised their heads the same way at the same time-y’all are riding the wavelength together and I’m here for it lmao
Loved this reaction 👌🏼
Yes, do more!!! Inspire the liars next. Also they are amazing live. I see them any time they come to central florida!
they sound insanely accurate live. they are amazing.
I just recently saw them live at Boston hall of music, the kick ass live
My favorite band 😍

Enjoyed the vid. Get into DGD guys keen to see more. Chur from NZ
I saw DGD in Pittsburgh this past September. They sound just as good live! I recall an interview where they said they don’t move around a lot on stage because they’re all trying their best to deliver studio-quality performances. They’re fantastic.
I’d recommend the studio and live (Tree City Sessions) versions of:
Robot with the Human Hair, pt 4
Death of a Strawberry
Stroke God, Millionaire
Man of the Year
they are amazing live. from the Johnny craig days to the Tillian days
What a great rabbit hole to fall down! I know a lot of people will direct you perfectly through their catalogue but they also have a lot of side projects; basically swancore, named after their guitarist Will Swan.
Secret Band - Moon
Sianvar - 1100 days
Royal Coda - Becoming the Memory
Hail the Sun - testostyrannosaurus (Not a Swan project but vocalist from Sianvar and just an awesome band)
Hope you find the time to check these out and enjoy! Love your vids!
I'm just here for confirmation bias that this band is amazing and this is their best song
Love this reaction 🙏🏻
@ 9:36 this band has made me feel like that for years and I absolutely love it. It hurts so good sometimes 🤣
I have been seeing them for years they sound exactly like this live
MAN OF THE YEAR
NOW
Man of the year is my favorite dgd song
Asking Alexandria's lead screamer used to have a drinking problem which wrecked his physical body including vocals... he took time to get sober and heal... Tillian can sing like this in general
They did a live concert on a bridge. React to man of the year live tree city sessions 2.
Live is AMAZING!!
INSPIRE THE LIARS AND MAN OF THE YEAR ARE GREAT SONGS TO LISTEN TO NEXT! loved the reaction guys
That “what the fuck” at the end. I love it 😂
Dude dance is awesome I love them
This is the perfect intro to modern DGD.
It's got a mix of just about everything they do. Tilian's amazing vocals complimenting Jon's harsh vocals.

If ya'll never came back to these guys definitely check out their Tree City Sessions 2 Live its unreal
Man of The Year Tree City Sessions
Tillian's voice is just 😍😍😍💜💜💜💜
This was a great reaction and I would love to see you react to more DGD.
LOVE! More!!
You might be right on that particular AA video(when he was younger) but I've seen them live a bunch and Danny is honestly one of the best live vocalists out there. He kills it every single show.
I absolutely love devins energy and reactions!!
You should do Lemon Meringue Pie!! DGD is fantastic!
idk much about Tilian Pearson but I see that name a lot in this genre of music, and everything I heard with them in it has been amazing
There's a live version of this....he's killer live too
Yes more DGD reactions!!
They do sound that good live
WE WANT MOREEEEEE!!!!
How do you not have over a million subs!?
More dgd reacts guys. Just discovered your channel and I’m a huge fan of your reactions now
i saw them a week before the drummer went to rehab. Polyphia opened for them and it was euphoric. it may have also been the Lucy.
Highly recommend checking out man of the year live from tree city sessions 2
