"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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
Jonny fucking owns this song, he's the best vocalist in the business in my opinion I do like jag though I think he fits ASD and I'll gladly listen to them because I like high pitched vocals^^
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
Anyone else think it's hilarious that the only reason Jonny Craig did vocals for A Skylit Drive was because Dance Gavin Dance kicked him out while they were on tour and he needed a way home?
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.
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.
i couldnt agree with you guys more.. DGD was my favorite band til jonny left.. and now they are nothing even close to resembling an amazing band.. i saw them live with him and without, and its just garbage now.. but i love emarosa's sound cause of jonny.. and ASD.. every band hes ever done at least one song with was amazing haha
Now just imagine if Emarosa put some hardcore back into their music like they did when they had Chris Roberts... It'd be awesome like this. I say Emarosa should bring back Chris Roberts, keep Jonny Craig, and write shit like this but you knowi'd be ten times better 'cause everyone in Emarosa is amazing, Jonny Craig and Chris Roberts are both legends. They'd be the perfect combination of scream/sing & Emarosa's other members pack a punch with music like no other.
I wish I knew the lyrics to this version of the song.. "I don't think you know, I don't think you know..." It sounds really cool but the quality isnt teh bestest, well it is for a live show ;D If anyone thinks they can figure these lyrics out- hit me up!
So is it just me, or is ASD totally fucked? A skylit Drive was easily my favourite band, they fucked it over by adding this guy. His voice totally fits DGD, NOT ASD one bit. Damn Jordan, come back soon or I might shoot myself.
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!
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.
I really think i like jonny better than Jag. Jonny's voice is just better.I think Jonny's voice would be better than Jags on the CD. And you cant fault Jonny for not sounding that amazing in this song its a brand new song with a new vocalist..Jag may sound better now because he has played the song like 500 times. Let Jonny play the song that many times and it will sound better than jags does
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
Sorry, bassist! Jesus. A Skylit Drive needs more screams, is all I'm saying, and Jag doesn't provide them like Jordan did...He just lets the (apparently, since I've hit a nerve on someone) bassist and drummer do the screaming...Thus there isn't as much as the last album! I didn't say I didn't like Jag. I said that he sounded whinier. I do listen to the new album and I like it alot...Christ, it's like an obsessive MCR fan; "WHAT?! MIKEY ISN'T THE DRUMMER! WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
youre assuming i even believe one exists, but a claim for "deism" is not a claim for "theism." the theist character of the bible, is not pleasant to me, or to many many people. just read the story of the amalekites for reference, and please dont tell me to summarize or where to find it, since it'd be a shame to have an atheist more versed in the bible, than a christian.
Jag is okay, but he doesn't scream in the music. If you watch a live video of Jag in the band, he'll sing and then let the guitarist do the screaming- Jordan did both. That, and for some God unknown reason...Jag is so much BITCHIER! I still listen to the album, though; it's like a guilty pleasure, I guess.
I love jonny. he's one of my influences, but his attitude ruins it. he hates on his fans and his voice is not good for this song, it also has a lack of lyrics. he just repeats himself a lot. jag is better, in my opinion, but that's exactly what it is. an opinion.
@kihffd i think the difference is that in DBM and Relativity you could feel the passion in his voice, and in the other two its like he is just singing because he has to (with some exceptions in the self titled), but i really hope DBM2 its better than the two songs they' have released
dude!! which part of 'PLEASE DON'T REPLY WITH BAD WORDS' don't u understand.. We agree wit any of you guys's decision.. pls don't hate us.. we just want to be frens.. we don't wanna have enemies in UA-cam.. Peace dude.. Peace, we wanna be frens wit u.. pls add us.. :)
"i dont think you know. i dont think you know. i don't believe all your lies. or (how will we know when it ends.)" that's how i interpret the chorus. am i completely off? i would look up the actual lyrics but jonny's version is 37 times better and completely different.
absolutely 100% it matters what DGD fans say. youre an exception, but most of them just talk about how jonny sucks, how hes a coke addict. blah blah blah...just ruining his 'reputation' cuz they got butt hurt when he quit....its a war out there in the internets

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 UA-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.
They're back with Jordan Blake :)
Jonny doing vocals for ASD while wearing a Heavy Heavy Low Low shirt, those were the days man
this needs to be recorded with jonny...shame its not
Big shame big disappoint :( He killed this
I think this was the time Jonny was freshly kicked out from DGD.
Much respect for both Jordan & Jag. They have fantastic vocals,but Jonny murders this song! Could only imagine this recorded. Abs. amazing!
i wanna hear him sing wires and the concept of breathing. that would be epic
Man this is soo good. Too bad it wasn't recorded.
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
God, I love JAG, but this song is so awesome with Johnny Craig!
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.
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
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.
This is so wild to see Jonny sing in ASD. Is there footage of Chris Mabbitt when he covered ASD as well?
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
What never was. Fuck im old
they converted their intro into a song already.,kickass..its called "eris and dysnomia"
its fuckin awesome!
hahah johnny is wearing the same HHLL shirt from when i saw them like a year ago
i almost like this version than the all ASD version.. jonny is just unreal.. his voice is outta this world..
I'd love to see jonny doing hey nightmare. His voice is just great. It fits in very well with almost anything.
I love ASD and I think Jag is great, but I really like Jonny singing these songs too.
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.
31 de diciembre de el puto 2021 …. Fuck ye!
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.

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.
yes he is.
me and my friend know kyle from
A Skylit Drive and he told us that
johnny is in emarosa.
Does anyone know if the lyrics are different in JC own version?
Yeah jonny improvised it and the band liked it so much they kept a lot of his style and lyrics on the real recorded version.
For 2007, this is great quality. Must’ve been a really expensive camera.
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 never did a recording with jonny, he just filled in when they were on tour.
can you upload the entire set? I watch this video about 2 times a day!
Jonny fucking owns this song, he's the best vocalist in the business in my opinion
I do like jag though I think he fits ASD and I'll gladly listen to them because I like high pitched vocals^^
wow i can't get over this sound... i want this song but studio version with asd and jonny collab
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.
"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"
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
Actually he sounds like a perfect fit
I see that’s HHLL shirt hell yeah
WHYT couldnt that have put this on the album UGH good song but still i wanted to her johhny isnteed
Dang dude I love ASD but if Johhny Craig was the singer they would be freakin amazing! This song sounded so good with him!
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 send me the one with Jonny I cant find it anywhere.
HEAVY HEAVY LOW LOW SHIRT
Yeah this really fits Jonny's voice, maybe it's because he wrote it?
Anyone else think it's hilarious that the only reason Jonny Craig did vocals for A Skylit Drive was because Dance Gavin Dance kicked him out while they were on tour and he needed a way home?
Chase Kyles lmao
i love how this live video has more views than the official video for this song! its all j craig baby!
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. ;)
This video just confirms jag is lying.
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.
jonny craig would make any band a complete succes
Wow, he sounds great with them. But I just love Johnny's voice!
imagine JONNY in this band !
omg best band ever
Takes me back to high school!
Are there only live shows where Jonny sings w/ ASD?
I wish there was CD quality of this song and Jonny! =[
this version is way better then the one on the album
lol i love the little backwards dance he does after 2 mins :)
2020 🤘🏻
everything sounds better with jc singing it
They're both good, why can't people just appreciate both singers they just have different styles?
Wish Jonny Craig Was In The Original (:
His Voice IS Amazing !
this is like my fucking dream band. jonny with asd. dude...
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.
This dude has been in so many bands LOL.
johnny is simple amazing man
This would have been an amazing band. Without a doubt.
God;
Jonny is such a beast.
Jonny, Craig, and Jordan should make a band. Put in 2 bass.guitar players and a drummer, and they're set.
both jag and johnny are great singers
i couldnt agree with you guys more.. DGD was my favorite band til jonny left.. and now they are nothing even close to resembling an amazing band.. i saw them live with him and without, and its just garbage now.. but i love emarosa's sound cause of jonny.. and ASD.. every band hes ever done at least one song with was amazing haha
LOL He's Mumbling everthing but "I Don't Think You Know, I Don't Think You Know" haha
Hey Jonny, did you need my new address, still having issues getting my MacBook:/
LMFAOOOOOO
jordan is doing good with watchout theres ghosts.. my band played a show with them and jordan sings perfect live now :] check em out!
If only they had recorded this song with Jonny :l
Now just imagine if Emarosa put some hardcore back into their music like they did when they had Chris Roberts... It'd be awesome like this. I say Emarosa should bring back Chris Roberts, keep Jonny Craig, and write shit like this but you knowi'd be ten times better 'cause everyone in Emarosa is amazing, Jonny Craig and Chris Roberts are both legends. They'd be the perfect combination of scream/sing & Emarosa's other members pack a punch with music like no other.
I prefer jag just cuz his voice is so surreally high and I can't picture ASD without it. And jag has a killer falsetto.
I wish I knew the lyrics to this version of the song.. "I don't think you know, I don't think you know..." It sounds really cool but the quality isnt teh bestest, well it is for a live show ;D If anyone thinks they can figure these lyrics out- hit me up!
So is it just me, or is ASD totally fucked?
A skylit Drive was easily my favourite band, they fucked it over by adding this guy.
His voice totally fits DGD, NOT ASD one bit.
Damn Jordan, come back soon or I might shoot myself.
YEAH great VIDEO !!!!
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!
Ok, I love Jag, but Jonny goes amazing with any band. That's all.
This is historic
it does matter. this song sucks. i dont want to hear it ever again. However Craig Mabbitt was awesome when he helps with Ability To Create a war
Seriously man I agree, Jonny has waaaaay superior dynamics, power, technique, and ESPECIALLY vocal range.

Not really. Ive seen ASD live with Jag and he has the same old amazing voice
i can't listen to jag sing more than one song or else my ears bleed. his voice is SO HIGH, he should just do some ambience shit.
no. Corsets are cages is EMAROSA!.But that singer quit emarosa and is now in AGRACEFUL!
But lovley Johnny is in Emarosa now
Jonny Craig looks like
Jared Dines 😂
I really think i like jonny better than Jag. Jonny's voice is just better.I think Jonny's voice would be better than Jags on the CD.
