From the beginning until the very end I will love this band. I don't care who fronts, they work together so well no matter what. Just great musicians period.
It amazes me how good Jon is live. Like his vocals have changed so much throughout the history of dgd and now there sooo much better it's fucking crazy. God I fucking love this band so much jesus christ...
Charlie Cairns that's crazy I mean I almost completely disagree. Even though I like his vocals they're some of the most bland and range-less screams out there compared to the "bigger" bands of the scene. I always thought his vocals for the most part were boring but sometimes exciting. Its weird I know. My favorite from him was definitely People You Know from the Self Titled album I mean that fucking ending alone gives me chills. Fortunately, his voice almost never gives out and he has completely created his own style he is comfortable with through all the touring this band does so I give him props.
James McCartney I kind of see what you mean but I think the rare sound dgd kind of equal out his vocals if you know what I mean ha. I see what you mean abotu Pyk as well, I mean if they made that song with the vocals he has know I don't think the song would be as good nor would the ending have as much of an impact. He handled his voice pretty fuck well back then as well which is pretty
Jimmy DeLaney you're joking. Maybe the lead singer of Sianvar and Hail the Sun can join dgd eventually but no. I think Will purposefully holds back some talent when he goes to make other music.
Thanks for posting ,I've seen this song performed in other vids but none close to this quality ! Dance Gavin dance gets better with every album , tillians voice really compliments Jon's insane screams in this song more than what I have heard on acceptance speech , and the intro along with will and jon swapping lines was just intense !
This show must have been towards the end of the tour. I saw them late November and when they played Tillian's voice was spot on. Here you can tell its pretty worn out.
Idk I think he might have just been of here and there that day because I saw him on the last date of the tour and he sound fantastic. His vocals don't really do him justice with live videos I seriously think it can't pick up his high notes well
This is the only video I've found where Tilian sounds a bit off on this song. Every other recording he kills it. Touring constantly will make it difficult to sing top notch all the time, even then, I think he still sounds pretty decent. Can't wait to hear the album version!
I just compared this to the studio version and I'm pretty impressed. When I first heard the studio version I said to myself "This sounds relatively different", but this actually translate well into a live performance.
Probably my favourite DGD song. When Jonny comes in with 'I don't know you! I don't know youuuu!' If it does happen it'll have almost nothing to do with the original though.
Gettinhighoffmusic I think they could do it easily. Just look at Strawberry Swisher part 1 and 2 versus part 3. They could do it and honestly I want to see it. That song is bomb.
I am in love with this song! I like it more than On the Run! This is my new favorite Dance Gavin Dance song for sure! I can't wait to hear a studio recording of this! :D
Tilian is amazing live. This video doesn't do him justice, and he definitely sounds worn out. But he's an extremely talented singer, I have loved DGD through every singer, it's such a unique band. Ugh, Love
so far its pretty good, but tbh i love there new singer its just that he looks like someone that has a deep voice but his voice is so light but in a good way and DGD will always be my favorite band
Hi I'm going to a DGD concert soon. Don't know what to expect moshpit-wise. I love being at the front but I don't like intense pushing and punching. What's the crowd at a DGD concert? Should I go to the sides and avoid the center? Thanks!
Great recording! May we expect more live stuff from this tour, or is this all you got of them? I REALLY want to see Spooks. Thanks again for consistent quality!
When tilian joined the band, his live vocals were on point. You can really hear the strain on his voice now, this compared to the album version isn't even close. I do love the entire album though. Variation is unreal good
I love everything about DGD, everything associated with them for that matter. Including Secret Band, Stolas, Sianvar, Hail the Sun, ALLB etc. But this song sounds eh, I mean it's live but usually DGD is spot on with their live performances.
I was going to say why would he write a song he can't sing - but then I saw a different vid where he actually performed this pretty well - so - long live DGD, no matter the singer
from 1:17 Jon Mess says: No, I don't do that anymore, you people just place it inside your drawers, too bad ive lost my feeling, leave it alone all my scrapes are not healing. all. these. scrapes. and battle scars, what is left is relief........................... i dont know the rest
Cheeeeeeeeeeewy yeah too bad i cant make sense of the rest of it. his line at 2:20 is saying something about wishing an allergy would go away. Metaphorical allergy ofcourse, the song sounds pretty serious.
I myself love Tillian. With live performances, he is way better than Kurt. Kurt is okay live, but wen he tries to hit his high notes he can't hit them. Johnny was good, but he was a dick. I still love johnnies voice on DBM.
I honestly love Tilian's vocals. I mean, I love Jonhny and Kurt as well, but I just seem to ultimately love Tilian. Just my opinion though, I can understand some of the others for why they prefer the past vocalist
upon listening to a minute version of this, I came to the conclusion that I prefer Will Swan adding into the chorus than Tilian singing his parts in the studio version.
Kurt and tillian are pretty good. Except I like kurts music a bit more in the Death Star aand happiness then the acceptance speech album because how groovy it is and the lyrics. Tillian live is great hands down.
I think what throws me off about Tillian the most is his appearance, in a totally non-serious way. Like I look at this band live and I imagine Tillian would be doing the screaming and Jon the singing, but it's not that at all lol
Wills parts "sick of me and all my games? Tilian"its understated"? "Taken all that I can take? Im gona make it? Why not go the way? Can I belong to something new brand new? Some shit about being in a back seat pedal to the metal dont wana see the sad frown look in your face you should've never fallen in the first place you scream I bleed? Oh quit your meddling
I just get disappointed sometimes low key because as many live performances that i watch on here, Tillian is pitchy and inconsistent every time. I love DGD and all three vocalists over the years and Tillian is super talented and sounds amazing on the records he’s on, but just doesn’t sound the same live in these videos. Makes me sad bc then i watch Johnny and Kurt and they sound the same as on the records and everything. DGD is still one of my favorite bands i know that touring is really harsh on leads that do cleans and especially ones that do cleans and screams, but i just wish Tillian had better tonal quality and kept the same energy as he does on the records.🤷🏾♀️ - not to say i haven’t seen some kick ass live performances from him on here... believe me they were amazing, but still lol.
I love how Jon Mess sounds literally the same live as on records. I mean the other dudes are really good as well but he's spot on.
Will Swan should seriously do more vocals on each album! Even his raps/screams are tight as fuck! My favorite guitarist, no doubt!
hey cool kick drum
I love you
hey tim
R.I.P. GOAT
From the beginning until the very end I will love this band. I don't care who fronts, they work together so well no matter what. Just great musicians period.
love how jon mess just stands there. godly stage presence
It amazes me how good Jon is live. Like his vocals have changed so much throughout the history of dgd and now there sooo much better it's fucking crazy.
God I fucking love this band so much jesus christ...

Oh damn, Will's singing again! Sweet stuff
Ty for this! My fav song from instant gratification
DGD7 is going to be great :,) IDC if they get a new singer every album or so, I LOVE DGD AND WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT THIS BAND!...Sianvar too lol
Sianvar is the next DGD
Jimmy DeLaney you're joking. Maybe the lead singer of Sianvar and Hail the Sun can join dgd eventually but no. I think Will purposefully holds back some talent when he goes to make other music.
Um yeah Ik that. Read my comment again lol
I agree. Keeps it fresh. Why can't a rock band be like a jazz ensemble.
Thanks for posting ,I've seen this song performed in other vids but none close to this quality ! Dance Gavin dance gets better with every album , tillians voice really compliments Jon's insane screams in this song more than what I have heard on acceptance speech , and the intro along with will and jon swapping lines was just intense !
the fact that people are judging this new song based off a recording of a live performance is just ludicrous.
I'm gonna make it, coming up with something new, brand new.
Can't stop listening to this. I can't wait for IG.
This show must have been towards the end of the tour. I saw them late November and when they played Tillian's voice was spot on. Here you can tell its pretty worn out.
Idk I think he might have just been of here and there that day because I saw him on the last date of the tour and he sound fantastic. His vocals don't really do him justice with live videos I seriously think it can't pick up his high notes well
This is the only video I've found where Tilian sounds a bit off on this song. Every other recording he kills it. Touring constantly will make it difficult to sing top notch all the time, even then, I think he still sounds pretty decent.
Can't wait to hear the album version!
such a perfect song! 1:32 is the best part tbh
I'm so excited for the new CD
I just compared this to the studio version and I'm pretty impressed. When I first heard the studio version I said to myself "This sounds relatively different", but this actually translate well into a live performance.
I am going to see them live next month and I am SO excited. I absolutely cant wait to hear the part at 0:58 on the studio version.
Can't wait for the new album. Tilian's influence and talent is bringing them to a whole different level of possibilities.
This is sick, really cool to hear Tilian bring down the energy and sing some lower stuff.
Woah, so keen for this on the new record! They still got it.
I'm just waiting for the backwards pumpkin song pt2
Probably my favourite DGD song. When Jonny comes in with 'I don't know you! I don't know youuuu!' If it does happen it'll have almost nothing to do with the original though.
I sure as fuck hope they don't make a second one. It'd be just awful considering it was Jonny Craigs vocals in that album.
Gettinhighoffmusic Agree. It's like trying to bring back something that won't come back.
Gettinhighoffmusic I think they could do it easily. Just look at Strawberry Swisher part 1 and 2 versus part 3. They could do it and honestly I want to see it. That song is bomb.
Gettinhighoffmusic Wow dude. You're relentless. You've replied angrily to at least two comments pointlessly. it's quite sad actually haha.
this is so goooood oh my god. can't wait for the new album!
I was at this show!! I had the time of my life! :)
Another Banger..
Can't wait for the mixed version if this track, such a catchy chorus
man this shit sounds amazing! I love the funk in it. Brings back some DMB2
This quality audio and style of sound is comparable to whatever I say is royal ocean
Beautiful music all around
Jon Mess is a beast.
what a bass tone!
I am in love with this song! I like it more than On the Run! This is my new favorite Dance Gavin Dance song for sure! I can't wait to hear a studio recording of this! :D
Can't wait til it's actually available on an album cx
CANNOT WAIT FOR INSTANT GRATIFICATION APRIL 14
i can
why do people associate testicles with vocal chords so much?
Google search "The Castrati". You shall have your answer
Look up castrati..
Instant gratification,April 14th come already!
I cannot wait to hear this song when it's not recorded terribly. It sounds really rad.
Tilian is amazing live. This video doesn't do him justice, and he definitely sounds worn out. But he's an extremely talented singer, I have loved DGD through every singer, it's such a unique band. Ugh, Love
Tilian's voice is kinda...needs water or something. hahaha
agreed. very poor performance
Jon never knows what to do when tilian is singing lmao
so far its pretty good, but tbh i love there new singer its just that he looks like someone that has a deep voice but his voice is so light but in a good way and DGD will always be my favorite band
Tilian's performance on the other video is better, his throat seems like it will explode any moment
I can't wait for dgd 7!!!!!!
I wish his live voice could be the same on the tracks. Oh well, it still kicks ass. April can't come any faster.
My heart needs this song full.. please... please.... tell me will be soon the realease
This band will always sound great as long as Will Swan, Matt Mingus, and Jon Mess are here.
Hi I'm going to a DGD concert soon. Don't know what to expect moshpit-wise. I love being at the front but I don't like intense pushing and punching. What's the crowd at a DGD concert? Should I go to the sides and avoid the center? Thanks!
Is this a new song? I listen to a lot of DGD but I don't know this one.
Probably why it says *NEW SONG* in the title of the video.
moshlyfe yeah, I realized that after posting the comment and now i feel stupid, thanks anyway
moshlyfe Hi moshlyfe
/u/ Unidan no
old as fuck. yes its new
they can literally do no wrong
Great song. Does anyone know how the bassist is getting that tone?
This was the first Instant Gratification performance
Great recording! May we expect more live stuff from this tour, or is this all you got of them? I REALLY want to see Spooks. Thanks again for consistent quality!
I wanna hear Will scream on this album.
Ye
***** listen to Lost
I love how will just always looks high, But lets be honest probably he is.
When tilian joined the band, his live vocals were on point. You can really hear the strain on his voice now, this compared to the album version isn't even close. I do love the entire album though. Variation is unreal good
Tillian is great and all, but lesbihonest, Jon Mess is a fucking master at his work.
Thank you for sharing this! Do you guys happen to record Spooks?
That's the first I've seen tilian struggling to hit the notes of their song.
Does anyone know when this next album is going to be released?
Studio version pl0x
I love everything about DGD, everything associated with them for that matter. Including Secret Band, Stolas, Sianvar, Hail the Sun, ALLB etc. But this song sounds eh, I mean it's live but usually DGD is spot on with their live performances.
It's a new song so I was thinking they just needed sometime to get it down. We should wait and see how the album version sounds.
Bassist is on point
I was going to say why would he write a song he can't sing - but then I saw a different vid where he actually performed this pretty well - so - long live DGD, no matter the singer
JON
the clean vocalists remimd me of anthony green alot sound wise
Does this mean a new DGD album soon???? PLEASE
Yea Instant Gratification April 14
Wish they played this at the first show of TAKE ACTION action but they played on the run instead but still good
Damn at 0:57 sounds so Damn sexy. Can't wait to hear it on the album.
Wish there were lyrics so I knew what they were all saying when their parts layer!
from 1:17 Jon Mess says:
No, I don't do that anymore, you people just place it inside your drawers, too bad ive lost my feeling, leave it alone all my scrapes are not healing. all. these. scrapes. and battle scars, what is left is relief........................... i dont know the rest
/u/ Unidan
Wow that's wildly different than his usual lyrics
Cheeeeeeeeeeewy yeah too bad i cant make sense of the rest of it. his line at 2:20 is saying something about wishing an allergy would go away. Metaphorical allergy ofcourse, the song sounds pretty serious.
Heather G
Nah, man, it's "Wanna throw it all away."
I myself love Tillian. With live performances, he is way better than Kurt. Kurt is okay live, but wen he tries to hit his high notes he can't hit them. Johnny was good, but he was a dick. I still love johnnies voice on DBM.
Agreed Kurt live wasn't as good, but I feel there was more depth with his album. Tillian is good live and I don't hate the new sound.
Oh yeah, i still like the new sound. My personal opinion is I felt Kurt's voice fit more with DGD.
I honestly love Tilian's vocals. I mean, I love Jonhny and Kurt as well, but I just seem to ultimately love Tilian. Just my opinion though, I can understand some of the others for why they prefer the past vocalist
can Tides Of Man have Tillian back? plz and thank you
No
your right. let them have tillian and DGD gets jonny back.
Diego Romero Again, no.
Diego Romero
As much as I would love that, it might not be a good idea.
Shameless184 whiny voices just arent a thing anymore so
was tillian sick?
I can almost hear Jon talking about when he left the band during the Happiness era..
upon listening to a minute version of this, I came to the conclusion that I prefer Will Swan adding into the chorus than Tilian singing his parts in the studio version.
Is this a circa survive cover band???
1:20
Tilian and Jonny dont sound anything alike. jonny and Kurt were close. Tilian is a better fit for DGD.
reminds me of Anthony green :D
Omg, Tillian, just go away.
I miss Kurt Travis. Only stable singer they ever had.
I hate myself now. I watched this video before I knew about instant gratification and I just fluffed it off
First time hearing this band... wheres his nuts o.O
God, it's music, enjoy it, don't ruin it and don't bitch about it.
ok but back up singing will needs to come back 😭
ImmortalHD on bass
Kurt and tillian are pretty good. Except I like kurts music a bit more in the Death Star aand happiness then the acceptance speech album because how groovy it is and the lyrics. Tillian live is great hands down.
CUT THOSE STRINGS WILL YOURE DRIVING ME CRAZY
Jon sounds fucking unreal, i dont think this guy needs more than one shot when recording.
Damn...i feel like this should've been Strawberry Swisher Pt. IV
I like Tillian but he sounds like mickey mouse in this xD
He sounds really Awsome. But live videos he sounds wierd. If you were there it sounds Awsome lol. That's the case with a lot of bands
I got that haha, live videos aren't really the best quality, the music over powers his voice anyways.
I think what throws me off about Tillian the most is his appearance, in a totally non-serious way. Like I look at this band live and I imagine Tillian would be doing the screaming and Jon the singing, but it's not that at all lol
Tilian needs to chill with his voice a bit man. Seems like he was overdoing it a bit, overall good stuff.
Wills parts "sick of me and all my games? Tilian"its understated"? "Taken all that I can take? Im gona make it? Why not go the way? Can I belong to something new brand new? Some shit about being in a back seat pedal to the metal dont wana see the sad frown look in your face you should've never fallen in the first place you scream I bleed? Oh quit your meddling
Today is a good day 2 chew gum and kick ass but im all out of gum
Tim Feerick is legend holy shit
my fucking ears lmao
I just get disappointed sometimes low key because as many live performances that i watch on here, Tillian is pitchy and inconsistent every time. I love DGD and all three vocalists over the years and Tillian is super talented and sounds amazing on the records he’s on, but just doesn’t sound the same live in these videos.

Finally, someone tells the truth. I feel the same way!
Thumbnail looks like Ken Shamrock lol
Tilian needs to go back tides of man or something along that sound.
This band is all over the place
I think this was just one cherry-picked bad performance. I've seen them live before and Tilian sounded much better than this...
