"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
basically this was the first time they played this song, and jonny completely freestyled it. later on, when jag was in, he kept the "i don't think you know" part because that's the part fans recognised.
Im sorry but If I went to a Skylit Drive concert and Craig came out to sing. I would literally shit myself from pure excitement. Be the best money ever spent
completely agree. and in terms of "hardcore"...jonny craig does have the loudest voice ive ever heard, from anyone and any musician. i mean its brutal, it stands out more than people's screams.
I love ASD and Jag to no end, i think Jag is incredible and his vocals are awesome, and i love ASD with Jag, but serious ASD with Jag, vs. Jordan vs. Jonny are 3 different bands in terms of their sound because of their lead singer. I do wish all 3 were separate bands because with all 3 singers it is different but equally incredible. Jonny is so talented, Jag fits the band perfectly, and Jordan's music is legendary, so 3 ASD bands are what we would have in an ideal world.
@@bolognabboy9165 tbh around this time he wouldn't have been kicked out of many bands lol. 2019 tho? I'd still love Jonny in my band for 1 album and then kick him out lol.
He was under contract with Rise at the time and they couldn’t snatch him up because they were on another label. They just talked about this time frame on TikTok.
didnt add this before, but the few words he sings between 2:24 and 2:30.. seriously gives me goosebumps at how he changes the sound and gets soft.. its amazing
ok im tha token black kid sayin this. johnny craig is the most glorious singer in the world. he has a tormented voice which blends perfectly with every band he's ever performed with. i personally think he should do more guest appearances for other bands. i'd love to hear him do sum vocals for in fear and faith..dudes voice is rad if u dnt get it yet..oh and lyinheart.. i got u beat..i watch this vid at least 5 times a day not includings wen im watchin it on my g1
Honestly they should do another show with jonny just for fun now that jonny isnt in a band and since a skylit drive hasn't been a band anymore I'd pay to see it
i like how they play in the beggining ther was a void, then the instrumentals to eris and dysomnia, then knights of the round if u listen to those songs closly, the flow into each other
You have to listen to him live, no strain at all, and he sounds like a natural countertenor sounds, not extremely soft, like falsetto, but not really hard like the souly sound like Craig.
people this was before Jag ya know, this is a early demo version of knights of the round and it's wayyyyyy better than the old singer, really. Jonnys phenomenal whether you think he's a prick or not
Seriously man I agree, Jonny has waaaaay superior dynamics, power, technique, and ESPECIALLY vocal range. As a Baritone Jonny has that lower register (that tenors CANT touch because it is impossible to build your vocals downward, only age can do that) while still being able to hit those high notes as Tenors do. Jonny is defiantly one of the best on this side of the heavy music scene. Not well disciplined because of lifestyle choices but still one of the best in raw talent.
@mata9451311 don't forget about Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean...Tidal Waves Breakfast Lunch and Dinner is perhaps the most passionate buildup DGD ever crafted.
Dude, whoever thinks jag's better than jonny is crazy! I told my friend that it'd b cool if Jonny sang for a skylit drive....so random, cause I ran across this video and he is! SICK!
I think that this song is pretty fucking amazing with jonny. I've listened to the one with jag and honestly jonnys voice is a lot more powerful and it just goes better.
Try to honestly tell me that Johnny fits this band, with his style and vocals. You cant, I never said Jordan made the band, but the band isnt the same without him.
Death Star is good but holy fucking trees with dicks Downtown Battle Mountain is such an epic fucking album. Been listening to it a year now and it still has not gotten old, every song is my favorite song.
I LOVE A Skylit Drive, BUT Johnny can do anything. This proves it. This is ridiculous. Though A Skylit Drive is already making their last album right now, it would have been amazing if Jonny would have been their vocalist for a while.
You literally have documented Screamo history that would go unknown otherwise. Thanks for this. Been watching since newly posted 14 years ago.
I’m really far down the rabbit hole rn lol

Forreal! I was literally just telling someone over TH-cam about this exact video! Such gold
@@AnguishForYourGreedIL Genres exist to classify not to draw lines in the sand lol. I respect the passion but I feel it’s a little misguided.
@@didybopintitys it's a copypasta
basically this was the first time they played this song, and jonny completely freestyled it. later on, when jag was in, he kept the "i don't think you know" part because that's the part fans recognised.
Years later, and this has gone over so many people's heads lol
and thats the best part of the song, it speaks wonders of jonny craigs ability to create a melody.
Im sorry but If I went to a Skylit Drive concert and Craig came out to sing. I would literally shit myself from pure excitement. Be the best money ever spent
the best money you ever spent was seeing them with Jag.
@@nilsgustafson6067 with Jordan*
Literally did it again two months ago at the Jordan Blake remember show.
Much respect for both Jordan & Jag. They have fantastic vocals,but Jonny murders this song! Could only imagine this recorded. Abs. amazing!
They're back with Jordan Blake :)
Jonny doing vocals for ASD while wearing a Heavy Heavy Low Low shirt, those were the days man
Mathcore was my little dirty secret back in 9th grade, 2006. 😂
completely agree. and in terms of "hardcore"...jonny craig does have the loudest voice ive ever heard, from anyone and any musician. i mean its brutal, it stands out more than people's screams.
I agree saw him years ago when he was Emarosa and completely killed it
i wanna hear him sing wires and the concept of breathing. that would be epic
oh my goodness I love this version! I wish they had recorded this with Jonny Craig!
my favourite vocalist + my favourite band = epic!
Johnny's pretty awesome. I love his HHLL shirt too.
If they would have this kept lineup it would have been fuccing legendary
johnny is like my favorite vocalist he has so much style to his voice
imagine JONNY in this band !
omg best band ever
i almost like this version than the all ASD version.. jonny is just unreal.. his voice is outta this world..
God, I love JAG, but this song is so awesome with Johnny Craig!
i think he means like going into a major label "up and coming"...obviously jonny is the face for scene music, all indie bands know who this man is
this needs to be recorded with jonny...shame its not
Big shame big disappoint :( He killed this
Takes me back to high school!
I'd love to see jonny doing hey nightmare. His voice is just great. It fits in very well with almost anything.
I love both Jonny, and Jag's voice!!
wow i can't get over this sound... i want this song but studio version with asd and jonny collab
i love how this live video has more views than the official video for this song! its all j craig baby!
Man this is soo good. Too bad it wasn't recorded.
For 2007, this is great quality. Must’ve been a really expensive camera.
yes he is.
me and my friend know kyle from
A Skylit Drive and he told us that
johnny is in emarosa.
God;
Jonny is such a beast.
jonny craig would make any band a complete succes
thanks you soo much for this video.. i watch it way too much. wish johnny could have joined them.. but new singer is pretty badass too.
I love ASD and I think Jag is great, but I really like Jonny singing these songs too.
Craig Owens and Jonny Craig together! I would die!
They already did a thing years ago. Go check out Isles & Glaciers if you haven't already. ;)
Pretty much the best video on youtube.
Wow, he sounds great with them. But I just love Johnny's voice!
I love ASD and Jag to no end, i think Jag is incredible and his vocals are awesome, and i love ASD with Jag, but serious ASD with Jag, vs. Jordan vs. Jonny are 3 different bands in terms of their sound because of their lead singer.

during this time, how could u not want JC in your band?
yeah how could you not want a heroin addict who ended up getting kicked out of every band hes ever been apart of including ones that he made?
@@bolognabboy9165 tbh around this time he wouldn't have been kicked out of many bands lol. 2019 tho? I'd still love Jonny in my band for 1 album and then kick him out lol.
Voice of an angel but he's a shit human lol
He was under contract with Rise at the time and they couldn’t snatch him up because they were on another label. They just talked about this time frame on TikTok.
I see that’s HHLL shirt hell yeah
didnt add this before, but the few words he sings between 2:24 and 2:30.. seriously gives me goosebumps at how he changes the sound and gets soft.. its amazing
i dont care what people say about jonny, he is a fuck'n incredible singer. he has soo much talent.
johnny is simple amazing man
This is my favorite video on the internet
😍
These were the days
i love jonny craigs voice sooooo much
"Whats up guys we're A Skylit Drive AGSIENSKEHPAJWJAA!!!!" Man twenty years later that shit still makes me laugh.
I think he says "We're a skylit drive let's have some fun"
johnny is the shit.
will forever remain in my list of greats
ok im tha token black kid sayin this.
johnny craig is the most glorious singer in the world. he has a tormented voice which blends perfectly with every band he's ever performed with. i personally think he should do more guest appearances for other bands. i'd love to hear him do sum vocals for in fear and faith..dudes voice is rad if u dnt get it yet..oh and lyinheart.. i got u beat..i watch this vid at least 5 times a day not includings wen im watchin it on my g1
This would have been an amazing band. Without a doubt.
Honestly they should do another show with jonny just for fun now that jonny isnt in a band and since a skylit drive hasn't been a band anymore I'd pay to see it
the better version of this song :)
love you jonny!
he's such a great singer.
i like how they play in the beggining ther was a void, then the instrumentals to eris and dysomnia, then knights of the round
if u listen to those songs closly, the flow into each other
dude jonny criag and a skylit drive would be the most amazing band. just fuckin imagine what their album would be like... its makes me jizzzzzz:p
You have to listen to him live, no strain at all, and he sounds like a natural countertenor sounds, not extremely soft, like falsetto, but not really hard like the souly sound like Craig.
This is so wild to see Jonny sing in ASD. Is there footage of Chris Mabbitt when he covered ASD as well?
@SuperMadMovies HELL YEAH! it would be a dream come true for jonny to be in/or tour with ASD
They're both good, why can't people just appreciate both singers they just have different styles?
he used to be the lead singer of Dance Gavin Dance.
he is now is now with Emarosa.
-Paul
Very rare O.o props for getting footage.
Dang dude I love ASD but if Johhny Craig was the singer they would be freakin amazing! This song sounded so good with him!
people this was before Jag ya know, this is a early demo version of knights of the round and it's wayyyyyy better than the old singer, really. Jonnys phenomenal whether you think he's a prick or not
they converted their intro into a song already.,kickass..its called "eris and dysnomia"
its fuckin awesome!
HEAVY HEAVY LOW LOW SHIRT
Seriously man I agree, Jonny has waaaaay superior dynamics, power, technique, and ESPECIALLY vocal range. As a Baritone Jonny has that lower register (that tenors CANT touch because it is impossible to build your vocals downward, only age can do that) while still being able to hit those high notes as Tenors do.

They never did a recording with jonny, he just filled in when they were on tour.
diggin his heavy heavy low low t-shirt, didnt realize jonny craig was that fuckin good either
That intro with the beginning to Eris And Dysnomia was sick!
i want this version
they should record this song with jonny!
kickass old lyrics man.,
@CJBDTW1923 He free-styled this there are no lyrics, but its where the "I dont think you know" line from the album version was taken from.
What never was. Fuck im old
I think this was the time Jonny was freshly kicked out from DGD.
2020 🤘🏻
jonny craig = the power
i have that same heav heavy low low shirt and im wearing it right now!!!!
this is like my fucking dream band. jonny with asd. dude...
hahah johnny is wearing the same HHLL shirt from when i saw them like a year ago
@mata9451311 don't forget about Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean...Tidal Waves Breakfast Lunch and Dinner is perhaps the most passionate buildup DGD ever crafted.
lol i love the little backwards dance he does after 2 mins :)
Hell yes. Jonny Craig > Everyone
Dude, whoever thinks jag's better than jonny is crazy! I told my friend that it'd b cool if Jonny sang for a skylit drive....so random, cause I ran across this video and he is! SICK!
I think that this song is pretty fucking amazing with jonny. I've listened to the one with jag and honestly jonnys voice is a lot more powerful and it just goes better.
wow johnny is so great.. love his hair and facial hair
Soo classic!
This is historic
YEAH great VIDEO !!!!
jordan is doing good with watchout theres ghosts.. my band played a show with them and jordan sings perfect live now :] check em out!
Try to honestly tell me that Johnny fits this band, with his style and vocals. You cant, I never said Jordan made the band, but the band isnt the same without him.
can you upload the entire set? I watch this video about 2 times a day!
WHYT couldnt that have put this on the album UGH good song but still i wanted to her johhny isnteed
Johnny Craig write almost this song, but it is not actually completed so Jag finished it. That's the story behind the "Knights of the round" song.
Death Star is good but holy fucking trees with dicks Downtown Battle Mountain is such an epic fucking album. Been listening to it a year now and it still has not gotten old, every song is my favorite song.
jhonny is amazing, too bad from dance gavin dance, what happened with the other singer of emarosa?
that gave me a smile ^_^
added you as a friend.
Whoa. Jhonny Craig fron Dance Gavin Dance :))
does johnny have handlebars? if he does, that is sick
was johnny like making up the lyrics as he went.
because on the album they are quite different.
I LOVE A Skylit Drive, BUT Johnny can do anything. This proves it. This is ridiculous. Though A Skylit Drive is already making their last album right now, it would have been amazing if Jonny would have been their vocalist for a while.
i know i love him
hes in emarosa now
does anyone know if they have
song that arnt live with johnny on
vocals he is a bad ass singer
id luv it if they recorded this wit jonny
but still good song
