Something Tilian never really did. As someone who watched the videos of Andrew filling in and hearing how close he was to Jonny’s tonality, I never thought I’d see the day he stepped up permanently, and now there is a whole back catalog that Tilian refused to play.
@@TheConvectuoso I enjoyed Tilian’s run with the guys, but Andrew just completes the dynamic of what DGD really is. Stage presence, vocals, muscles (lol), etc. pumped for what’s to come from this
@@TheConvectuoso tbf Tilian wasn't terrible with stage presence, the last show I recorded him at he even sang Happy Birthday to a little girl in the front and it was the cutest thing ever he was just less social afterwards imo, but it's a tour, there's 1000 reasons to wanna be alone after a show. I'm grateful to Andrew for always sticking around after to take pics, he was trying to get out of THIS show ASAP after their set to see family and was delayed ~90 minutes to take pictures with fans :')
As a DGD fan of over 15 years, I couldn’t be happier with Andrew on lead vocals. He’s absolutely crushing it and the band is getting to perform songs they haven’t played in SO long cause he absolutely nails jonnys original parts
@@dance_alex_danceit’s crazy how much he’s improved since the evening with friends tour. I didn’t mind the key change that much, but to hear him play the songs in their original key just really proves he’s been putting in nothing but hard work. He nails the jonny songs so well, almost sounds like him at some parts. Can’t wait for new music with him. Hope they lean more into the og post hardcore roots. Would love to hear some dbm/acceptance speech vibes on their new records
@@johnnyhickey1312 fwiw a lot of people point to key changes as the lead singer not being able to manage the original. another reason for it is to make downtime between songs shorter so they don't need to re-tune. I am definitely excited to be on their next headliner though, a full-length setlist with Andrew at this level of vocals is going to be unreal. and yeah he KILLS those Jonny parts!
both are great imo! they both do different things very well. Tilian's new single is sick imo :) very excited to see the direction DGD goes with Andrew!
Thank you so much for posting this ! I bet the show was amazing. Andrew can sing all the old lead singers parts where Tillman although being an amazing studio vocalist could not.
I think both of them are great :) It's too bad we didn't get both doing "leads" for longer, Jackpot Juicer was so cool in that way, and we only really got one tour with that lineup. I'm loving this so far though, this set was absolutely insane. Can't wait for a headliner with this lineup.
he has a very good gritty voice like that when he aims for it. honestly Andrew's range is /insane/, how he can jump from those gravelly lows to near-Tilian highs. insanely underrated.
@@dance_alex_dance apparently the setlists were a point of contention with Tillian. Hopefully we get a much more diverse setlist when they do a headlining tour with Andrew.
@@stinghouseproductions8502 Tilian understandably wanted to play his songs, and their biggest songs by number, since that is what /most/ people go to a concert to see - the top hits. People like us wanting the deep cuts are the minority :') But yeah, on the EWF tour they played minimum 1 song from every album, and 2 songs from certain albums. iirc no more than 2 songs from any one album. I'm sure we'll get some more diversity going forward with Andrew and I'm excited to see it!
Im really liking how interactive Andrew is with the everyone and the stage presence he brings is amazing

Andrew fucking KILLED that vocal. Original key, note matching johnnys screams, i love andrew swells.

Imagine ever doubting Andrew or DGD lmao
The boys are not leaving!
@@DGDfan13 dgd always stays united 💕
This dude Andrew wells has been practicing hard. Dude sounds so good. Performing these songs in their original key is awesome
it's insane how he only gets better, he's truly just built different

@@johnnyhickey1312My exact thoughts!! I was so pleasantly shocked that he’s pulling these off in the original keys!
God Andrew is so good. I prefer his voice over Tillian’s so much.
both are great imo! they both do different things very well. Tilian's new single is sick imo :) very excited to see the direction DGD goes with Andrew!
I can't believe how well Andrew did his screams my god that was on point.
Andrew has amazing screams tbh, he screams live for Eidoola and did so well if you wanna go check out the Swanfest playlist!
man do i love andrew swells
some of my oldddd DGD recordings on here have smol baby Andrew, it's wild to see his change over the years!
My God! Andreeeew killed it!!

@@dance_alex_dance DGD is the band I shear w my 12 year old son. Seeing that tour was his first show !
Goddamn Andrew really does well with Jonny era songs
ANDREW IS COOKING. One of the best live performances I've seen.
fr he sounds so good on the Jonny songs!
as much as I enjoy seeing him play guitar Andrew is sounding fkn good!
A hueeeevo!!! 🤩🔥🙌🏽
I am excited for their new album. Thank you for this upload. 😊
happy to share! new era is bigg exciting
There are some parts where he almost sounds like Jonny/has that same grit especially during lemon meringue tie
he has a very good gritty voice like that when he aims for it. honestly Andrew's range is /insane/, how he can jump from those gravelly lows to near-Tilian highs. insanely underrated.
Ty for posting ❤ so exicited for Andrew era
happy to help! me too, I'll be all over their next headliner haha
Damn, Andrew sounds spot on! Awesome that they will be able to pull off Jonny songs live now!
Best song and Andrew killed it
God this is amazing. More from DBM2 please.
Elder Goose next plz :')
After hearing this, would be really interested in hearing Andrews take on songs like heat seeking ghost or antlion. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
for years I've wanted Elder Goose live again :') Andrew would absolutely kill the old Jonny songs

I’ve always thought he was one of the many children of Jonny Craig, so I’m not surprised he’s probably really comfortable singing these songs.
I do love me some Wells but can we take a moment to appreciate Sergio?! 🎉
They werent lying with wanting to do the old heavier stuff
yeah I was wondering if it was just because they're appealing to the BVB/FIR crowd or if they're just goin in a heavy direction for a while!
@@dance_alex_dance ik andrew said they are treating it like secret band + andrew, but if this is their setlists im down
Wow SPOOKS! So dope. Love it!!! Keep pushing guys. DGD all day errrday! 😎🙏🔥💯♥️
DGD always stay united
@dance_alex_dance Hell yeah you already know it! 🔥😎🤘
I love this song!!! Thank you for uploading❤❤❤
Andrew is killing it!
And Jon Mess is the best!🦇🔥
happy to share :') thanks for watching!
Andrew slowly turning into Macho Man Randy Savage over the course of this tour is pretty great.
Holy shit Andrew fucking killed that
NOW HEAT SEAKING GHOST!
dude what the fuck i need a DTBM2 redux with andrew
Who is on guitar now?
not sure if he'll STAY the touring guitarist, but this is Martin Bianchini, guitarist in Secret Band!!
😢
