Nah it's not DGD anymore. Without Tillian it's just another mediocre band. Andrew wells is a good singer, but he's a backup/secondary vocalist, not a lead. The two songs they just released is proof.
@@deliriumstatus1333 Tillian doesn't make or break DGD. They found success without him. Jon's vocals also keep getting better, and Andrew is an extremely talented individual.
I was at the Michigan show where they kicked him off stage and I must say, I agree! He looks much better! Always lots of love for the band members and always hoping for the best for them!
Andrew said in an interview that Jon is going to be the lead, more songs focused and lead around him, while Andrew himself provides the cleans and guitar work. Gonna be an awesome new era for DGD imo
I like the way Andrew sounds, but he sounds a lot like Tilian, which is not a bad thing. It’s just harder for me to hear a huge difference between him and the new vocalist. Perhaps hearing some more releases will change that.
With Andrew being such an absolute unit of a man, clearly they're going for a new form of physical activity. Ladies, gents, and robots with human hair I present to you Lift Gavin Lift
Andrew's voice has always sounded like a beautiful combination of Tillian and Jonny to me. This is the most excited I've been for new DGD in years lets GO!!
Everyone is sleeping on the fact that Andrew has been writing for the band since the Mothership album. Andew has always been the logical dark horse to fill the void.
How can you not be extremely proud of this band? I’ve never seen so much perfectly executed adaptation. These guys get better and better in the face of adversity and major changes. The sound continues evolving yet staying true. Here’s to many more years of DGD.
People on instagram were shitting on Andrew's vocals but they sound fuckin' fantastic and if he wrote those melodies and lyrics then he gets full approval. That first hook he sings in this one is fuckin perfect. I wish the producer would've turned him up more cuz he's kinda blending in with the band, which happens sometimes with heavy music but bring his ass up to the front.
I’m not positive obviously but songs sound like Tillians melodies and arrangements, if I was to guess he wrote these songs. They sound like Tillain songs to me. Andrew did fantastic regardless.
He's always been an amazing gutarist too give him credit ppl they diddnt put him in pics for ev i always felt bad for andrew in That way, there is not enough credit. Also, his voice is sick, too. Just listen to Ediola
And in the speed demon part he was wearing the bear mask as well. Sergio wouldn't confirm nor deny when i asked him if he was going to be a full fledged member but he is recording for them so we will see 😊
5:30 absolutely slaps! BLESS THIS MESS Jon has done NOTHING but improve since the beginning. It's insane how his style and ability continues to grow. Jon, Matt, and Will holding it down for us all
I found the band in 2018, just before they dropped Artificial Selection. I still listen to their older songs, like Blue Dream with Jonny Craig is one of my favorite songs of theirs. But the mix of Tilian's angelic vocals together with Jon Mess' chaotic vocal fry, is what made me fall in love with the band, and made them one of my all time favorites. So finding out that Tilian was kicked out, broke my heart.. That being said though, I honestly didn't think I'd still love the band post Tilian. But finding out that Andrew was the new vocalist, gave me hope. I've always loved his vocals in Evaporate (I'd legit play his part over and over), and he's honestly the best choice for a new vocalist they could've chosen! And their new songs still sound like DGD, so my hope and love for the band has been reignited! As much as I will miss Tilian, I look forwards to this new era of DGD.
The 4th era of DGD has begun... and it's glorious. I had my doubts about Andrew but after hearing these songs I feel silly for ever doubting this band. Every vocalist in this band has been incredible. Jonny, Kurt, Tilian and Andrew all have their own sound and yet the band still feels like DGD. That's fucking impressive. Jon and Will are the glue that binds it all together and I'm here for it forever.
@@kuroinamida4630 I've listened to Eidola a bunch. I don't particularly love them, but I like them enough to have a few of their songs on my spotify playlist. I actually like Andrew's vocals in these DGD songs more than anything from Eidola, tbh.
wanna hear something crazy? i am 33 have always loved this style of music and this video was the first DGD songs i have ever heard last week and without knowing anything about the bands history i was like holy fuck these guys fucking rock lmaoooooo
I’ll always miss Tilian. Just like I missed Jonny. Just like I missed Kurt. But I fell in love with Andrew’s singing on Evaporate and have always wanted more. They’re gonna be alright. This is 🔥
@@GarrettsGear Yes. At the very least what he was accused of is, in his state, legally ‚the r word‘. Tilian in his first acknowledgment of the claim, did not deny the claims made by multiple people he just said that he made mistakes caused by his drinking. To me, it sounded like he was admitting to what happened but blaming it on being an alcoholic. Then after a couple months he said he didn’t do any of that stuff he just had a drinking problem. I’m an alcoholic & don’t drink anymore, haven’t in probably 8 years. My father was. My wife is & stopped 10+ years ago. Tons more in my life have been. Two months doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things & alcohol doesn’t make you do those things. I believe the victims & I would say a majority of the scene does a long with a major chunk of the DGD fanbase. Believe what you want. My son was named after Tilian. I have every reason to be charitable towards him. I hope it didn’t happen but doubt that’s the case very very very much. At least Jonny is openly the worst person he can be lmao
After the new Finn Mckenty interview with Tilian I am now entirely convinced Gobby was a hit at him and the band working through their feelings/frustrations transitioning away from the Tilian era. This was premeditated and thought out: the character story, mannerisms with social media, each band member's unique interactions with Gobby the works. We all speculated this but that interview really showed that tensions ran high for a while and DGD needed an outlet to express and go through those waves of emotion in dealing with Tilian's exit. Just my thoughts though
As a long time Eidola fan its kinda weird seeing Andrew singing lyrics like this as opposed to the more philosophical and religious undertones of his usual lyrics, but it's so fun and I'm all here for it
@@mariasanchez5547”we tried to reconcile as a band internally and now wish him the best on his future endeavours” not really the same as “we reconciled”
I knew Andrew from Eidola but didn’t know how I felt about him joining DGD. These guys have been one of my favorite bands for almost 20 years and i have no idea why I ever doubted this working. With every vocalist they just continue to get better and better. This is some of the best work they’ve put out in a while in my opinion. Also shout out to Matt, hope you’re doing good man and you look great.
Tilian is still my favorite singer as far as vocal styles go, but I have always enjoyed Andrew's vocals when he featured and then when he kept doing more parts in later albums. Was totally prepared for 2 clean vocalists and Jon with the occasional bar from Will, but with Tilian's departure I am interested in seeing how the full album will sound.
I really appreciate the put together Magic the Gathering decks with proper Dragon Shield sleeves. Should I bring my deck on the Meet & Greet in Nashville June 4th???
Too many saying it sounds like Eidola and I really don’t agree. There’s something special about the way Jon screams, his awkward lyrics and the match that does with the way Will plays in specific. This is different and it sounds so good, so DGD its something that only they’ll ever know how to pull off and honestly I’m excited for this next chapter in the bands life. Andrew is killing it in both and it’s great to see
Its nothing like ediola lol. I feel Andrew fits better in that band, there new album is amazing. Andrew sounds amazin on the record. But in these two songs IDK just didn't fit. I think a new fresh vocalist be more key. Or drop Clean Vocalist and have Jon do his thing, I would love that more.
The breakdown at 1:00 on Straight From the Heart is literally one of my favourite ever DGD moments. And yes, i've been here since the beginning. Go on lads !!!!!
My best friend died in February. I got him hip to DGD a few years back and you quickly became his (and mine’s) favorite band. We went to see you last September when you came to Cleveland. It was the last big thing we did together, It was about 2 weeks before my son was born so I became very busy after. My point is that this band now means a whole lot to me than it did before and hearing new music of this caliber makes me so happy and so sad at the same time cuz my boy John would have been blasting this on repeat trying to learn how to play it on his drum set. Thank you for the music guys
Couple things 1. I'm so ready for this new era! I like what Andrew said on a podcast recently that essentially in his mind Jon has always been the front man and the clean role has always been a collaborative one. 2. I didn't realize how much someone holding their hand of magic cards upside down would bother me until this video 😂 but now all I want to do is play a high stakes game of commander with the band!
Andrew saying that about cleans made me change the way I view the band in a good way. Even with people saying Eidola 2.0, it's actually Eidola that got me into the genre in the first place
The crazy thing about this. This morning , I nostalgically listened to Rock Solid kind of reminiscing over the greatness that is DGD, and he's eating a rock solid chewy bar in this video. DGD is back baby.
Change is hard for me. I started listening to DGD when Acceptance Speech was released. Not hearing Tilian is gonna take getting used to, however I still love what they're doing and Andrew is definitely shining now. Another great song, can't wait for the album!
I just listened to Andrew’s interview and I personally think he’s the best choice for the band. The way he explained everything about the situation in the band makes sense. There’s no hate here, and I’m loving it. Also it makes sense that Jon is the real Frontman. He’s the best!
At first, I wasn't really vibing, but I'm glad I came around. This is some of the most thought provoking melodic structures I've heard in the genre for quite some time. Looking forward to whatever comes next for y'all.
I wouldn’t have released this one bro.. This is one you just keep on the record. It’s like a Polyphia song, Here one moment and gone the next for no one to ever remember
i think it's super radical to see all the guys with wedding bands on they've grown so much the past few years 10/10 for growth, my friends! i can't wait to see what the new era of DGD will be!
I havnt been this excited for new dgd material in a while. I think every singer has been the best for their time, but it was obvious Andrew was the real lead singer back on evaporate. That being said I loved Tillian. Dgd needs a new singer every 5 or 6 years
I feel like Andrew has managed to step up his melodic vocals by taking cues from Tillian's groove. He was always good but his style has become even better. Recent songs I have found Andrew's lines to be comparable or even better than Tillian's (War Machine being a strong example). He has become more distinctive and these songs are him making a very strong case. Honestly, DGD is going to be amazing no matter what. Time to welcome yet another era. We will always have the Jonny Craig, Kurt and Tillian eras available. I welcome new direction as long as it is still bangers.
The first two times I listened to this I was like "man this isn't tilian, this sucks". But then I just kept on listening to it over and over and yeah, this slaps.
What you remember (I think) was an interview he did around the time that everything hit the fan with Tilian two years ago and he was thrust into singing on the evening with friends tour. My honest opinion (not that it’s worth shit), is that sort of thing was said to appease the massive ego of a certain former lead singer to avoid conflict within the group. Or perhaps it was earnestly true and in the time since then when it became clear the band and Tilian were going to part ways, Andrew changed his mind when the permanent role became up for grabs. Like I don’t want to compete with my boss for his job, but if he resigns and it’s open, shit yeah let’s see if I can do it in that case. That type of thing. Or I could be completely wrong because I’m speculating wildly!
@@future_elevator_music I swear he did an interview earlier this year where he also said there was no plans for him to takeover, I could be wrong though idk. Either way hyped for new dgd
To be honest, I was skeptical about Andrew stepping up as the lead vocalist, but after hearing both songs a second time, his vocals are beginning to grow on me!!!!! also props to the other band members for improving their game, sounding better than before!!!
Imma miss Tilian. His swagger was such a good fit for the band and some of my favorite songs from them involved him, but here Andrew really proved he's a worthy successor to carry the torch. These two songs are FIRE 🔥🔥
Starting to think Jons never gonna stop getting better. We should live in fear of how powerful he will one day become.
I thought I was the only one who thought this with every release. The dude's gonna be singing the harmonies and screaming one day.
HE AINT EVER GONNA STOP

Not gonna lie...I was worried. I love when something in today's world doesn't disappoint.
Dgd does another solid transition to a good singer.
RIP my boy Tillian but this shit SLAPS
I really appreciate the put together Magic the Gathering decks with proper Dragon Shield sleeves. Should I bring my deck on the Meet & Greet in Nashville June 4th???
Love to hear Jon getting more and more melodic, DGD forever ❤
That melodic screaming is fuckin nuts, that's so hard to do and he keeps getting better somehow.
Oh look, a reason to live
That really cracked me up, good on ya
Best comment on here 😂
I like how the guys performing the intervention are the ones you see in the contrasting scenes supporting his habit just beforehand. Deep.
The Best line up after curt Travis era!
The ending to Straight From The Heart is sooooooooooo good
Andrew does NOT disappoint. I LOVE it. Excited for this new era
I just can't get over tilian being gone...
Too many saying it sounds like Eidola and I really don’t agree. There’s something special about the way Jon screams, his awkward lyrics and the match that does with the way Will plays in specific. This is different and it sounds so good, so DGD its something that only they’ll ever know how to pull off and honestly I’m excited for this next chapter in the bands life. Andrew is killing it in both and it’s great to see
Sounds like Eidola featuring Jon Mess
@@DudeMan-xs3db DudeMan? more like TurdMan
Its nothing like ediola lol. I feel Andrew fits better in that band, there new album is amazing. Andrew sounds amazin on the record. But in these two songs IDK just didn't fit. I think a new fresh vocalist be more key. Or drop Clean Vocalist and have Jon do his thing, I would love that more.
Plus eidola is using 7 strings now
Forsure sounds like eidola
The breakdown at 1:00 on Straight From the Heart is literally one of my favourite ever DGD moments. And yes, i've been here since the beginning. Go on lads !!!!!
My best friend died in February. I got him hip to DGD a few years back and you quickly became his (and mine’s) favorite band. We went to see you last September when you came to Cleveland. It was the last big thing we did together, It was about 2 weeks before my son was born so I became very busy after. My point is that this band now means a whole lot to me than it did before and hearing new music of this caliber makes me so happy and so sad at the same time cuz my boy John would have been blasting this on repeat trying to learn how to play it on his drum set. Thank you for the music guys
I'm sorry for your loss man.. May John be rocking out to DGD wherever he may be now.
Stay strong and Congratulations on the Son!
Couple things
1. I'm so ready for this new era! I like what Andrew said on a podcast recently that essentially in his mind Jon has always been the front man and the clean role has always been a collaborative one.
2. I didn't realize how much someone holding their hand of magic cards upside down would bother me until this video 😂 but now all I want to do is play a high stakes game of commander with the band!
Andrew saying that about cleans made me change the way I view the band in a good way.
Even with people saying Eidola 2.0, it's actually Eidola that got me into the genre in the first place
Honestly, Andrew’s voice is perfect for Dance Gavin Dance’s sound! Brings me back to the vocalists before Tilian, and I love it!
And 2:15. My goodness! 🔥
People get on, people get off but the DGD train rolls on.
The crazy thing about this. This morning , I nostalgically listened to Rock Solid kind of reminiscing over the greatness that is DGD, and he's eating a rock solid chewy bar in this video. DGD is back baby.
It's Andrew's time to shine.
YES! 🔥
Gobby forgotten about again :(
Brighter!!!!!
Fuck no. Not good at all.
He already shined in Eidola's latest album
This is the perfected logical progression of late 00's "screamo" and it's pure heat.
Yup, that's why it's called progressive post-hardcore
100%
Change is hard for me. I started listening to DGD when Acceptance Speech was released. Not hearing Tilian is gonna take getting used to, however I still love what they're doing and Andrew is definitely shining now. Another great song, can't wait for the album!
I just listened to Andrew’s interview and I personally think he’s the best choice for the band. The way he explained everything about the situation in the band makes sense. There’s no hate here, and I’m loving it. Also it makes sense that Jon is the real Frontman. He’s the best!
So we have the Jiggler, Cuddler, Rattler, and now Gobbler. I am always here for new DGD. Can't wait to see what Andrew will bring to the band.
I hear "Fumbler" is supposed to be a real let-down
Seeing them playing magic made my whole day
At first, I wasn't really vibing, but I'm glad I came around. This is some of the most thought provoking melodic structures I've heard in the genre for quite some time. Looking forward to whatever comes next for y'all.
I wouldn’t have released this one bro.. This is one you just keep on the record. It’s like a Polyphia song, Here one moment and gone the next for no one to ever remember
This is literally my favorite song.
Same shit goes fucking hard
No matter what, DGD fans always stay united.
Man, Andrew's voice sounds so awesome, and these songs clearly showcase his versatility
I love how the Nitpicking Nerds are just randomly in this video playing MTG lol didn't expect that crossover, but it was very appreciated!
i think it's super radical to see all the guys with wedding bands on they've grown so much the past few years 10/10 for growth, my friends! i can't wait to see what the new era of DGD will be!
I havnt been this excited for new dgd material in a while. I think every singer has been the best for their time, but it was obvious Andrew was the real lead singer back on evaporate. That being said I loved Tillian. Dgd needs a new singer every 5 or 6 years
1:18 ROCK SOLID 🪨
that song is so good
You are rock solid. Rock solid? Rock solid. We’re both rock solid.
@@simony9611
That’s right
IYKYK 👏
Andrew leading the boys into there swole era
their*
I thought you were going to say "a swole new era" lol
Strip club metal era
@@Lucid_XPa swole new world
@Lucid_XP wish I did that's great!!
Holy shittttt it’s DGD and the nitpicking nerds! Glad to see Mia and Beezy featured here, what a wild ride.
Straight From The Heart is one of my favorite DGD songs in a few albums...
No matter what happens to DGD they simply ALWAYS crush it
I feel like Andrew has managed to step up his melodic vocals by taking cues from Tillian's groove. He was always good but his style has become even better. Recent songs I have found Andrew's lines to be comparable or even better than Tillian's (War Machine being a strong example). He has become more distinctive and these songs are him making a very strong case. Honestly, DGD is going to be amazing no matter what. Time to welcome yet another era. We will always have the Jonny Craig, Kurt and Tillian eras available. I welcome new direction as long as it is still bangers.
andrew made war machine his song for real, absolutely dominated
He was the ONLY logical choice to handle the role. I am psyched
His vocals are boring
😂 Filled all my cracks
So I sleep restfully 😂
@@blaine453 okay johny
Never in my life did I expect to see Nitpicking Nerds in a DGD music video. This is the new era!
MY WILDEST DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE. eidola and DGD just missing your boy lol
Why are DGD & Coheed both KILLING IT rn???
This feels like a step backwards
Andrew honestly kills it. Make him the full-time lead singer moving forward ❤
nah bro, we need Kurt back. It just makes sense. If they brought Jonny back for a 2nd run, then Kurt should get his too
@@TheAbandonedAccount7
Haha!
Dance Gavin Dance baby!
Death Star Album Two!
@@TheAbandonedAccount7 I would love this, but Kurt's in like 37 bands ATM.
Every time I listen it just gets better and better, keep it up guys I can't wait to see this new era of DGD and hear some new sound.
The first two times I listened to this I was like "man this isn't tilian, this sucks". But then I just kept on listening to it over and over and yeah, this slaps.
How I felt when Jonny boy fell through. Just happy to hear the band live on.
The stuff this band has been through is remarkably strong hearted.
The MTG commander footage is so good! When the lads gonna be on Shuffle up and Play?!!?!?
They playing for big bucks too! I've never played with those kinds of stakes.
They should make a special release of DGD magic cards.
This is fire 🔥
Happy for a new chapter again.
MTG for stacks that big is nuts.
This song never fails to get me hype about life and my goals.
The new era! Andrew and Gobby era!
interesting, i remember andrew saying he wasnt going to take over vocals. Excited to hear the new chapter
What you remember (I think) was an interview he did around the time that everything hit the fan with Tilian two years ago and he was thrust into singing on the evening with friends tour. My honest opinion (not that it’s worth shit), is that sort of thing was said to appease the massive ego of a certain former lead singer to avoid conflict within the group. Or perhaps it was earnestly true and in the time since then when it became clear the band and Tilian were going to part ways, Andrew changed his mind when the permanent role became up for grabs. Like I don’t want to compete with my boss for his job, but if he resigns and it’s open, shit yeah let’s see if I can do it in that case. That type of thing.
Or I could be completely wrong because I’m speculating wildly!
This seems legit
@@future_elevator_music I swear he did an interview earlier this year where he also said there was no plans for him to takeover, I could be wrong though idk. Either way hyped for new dgd
New interview just dropped
ua-cam.com/video/lGvvcewrVyA/v-deo.htmlsi=BDdDM3sS6k3lDljk
It's just going to be the same set up as Sianvar. Plus he said that before Tillian got the boot
Took some replays to really digest, damn jon mess is a dynamic singer
To be honest, I was skeptical about Andrew stepping up as the lead vocalist, but after hearing both songs a second time, his vocals are beginning to grow on me!!!!! also props to the other band members for improving their game, sounding better than before!!!
Imma miss Tilian. His swagger was such a good fit for the band and some of my favorite songs from them involved him, but here Andrew really proved he's a worthy successor to carry the torch. These two songs are FIRE 🔥🔥
Can't stop listening to speed demon , I'm kind of addicted
Yooo Andrew’s souther rock vocals at 6:00 is a hit. Please more of that.
From hated to playing on repeat, gd this is amazing
Theres truly nothing like dgd and some strong chemical influence
Andrew’s killing absolutely killing it
