Denis's voice is so perfect when he sings acoustic!!!!! Actually..... All of AA are amazing when they play acoustic!!!!! Absolute perfection!!!!

[@VictoriaHatzson]

[@GioBMX]

Denis*

[@cavindobson6703]

Denis be like "heh what the fuck are they saying heh I no English heh"

[@tptrash567]

[@ImmortalKombatPanda]

David Mitchell I like fish soups lolll

[@calliesykes4719]

[@allie2839]

[@allie2839]

+Ola Mola he's currently dating a girl named Ciara

[@fannybjorn8312]

This is my favorite version of I won't give in! The way Denis sing is just amazeballs!

[@eva-vs1zu]

ikr

[@Wormuta]

wow their drummer is wearing a shirt

[@slavsquatch]

+samatic omg i haven't noticed :D

[@eva-vs1zu]

[@wackydudde]

[@Adrian-fw3qh]

[@hannaha.3874]

Poor Denis, you can tell he wants to talk but doesn't at the same time

[@vee6676]

YOU LIKE FALL OUT BOY AND ASKING ALEXANDRIA??? MARRY ME NOW

[@hannaha.3874]

[@ghostgf77]

+Hannah A. OTP

[@sorayaalhady7368]

[@alphawolfie1232]

[@annaminor7952]

When Denis says "Speak to me" 😍😍😍😍😍

[@eva-vs1zu]

ikr

[@alejandromarino1689]

Denis is really good at acoustic. I remember him from Make Me Famous.. He's a beast!

[@MrGolden43]

God damnit...Why cant i be as smooth as Ben..

[@leerose7939]

Same

[@jackojenssen7647]

Grow your hair,get fit,get a ton of tattoos and talk to a lot of girls for the next 6 years. Smoothness guranteed

[@ZayneThyler]

She is an extremely good interviewer. Probably one of the best I've heard, because she knows her facts but also promotes them and can keep a conversation. AA is great live as always.

[@Muzikrazy213]

+ZayneThyler add her on FB "marija wiil rock"

[@sinisterginger2069]

DENIS IS SO CUTE UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HIS VOICE IS AMAZING

[@sahrinawitt472]

Okay, just fell in love with AA again. Didn't think it was possible. I really love the acoustic versions of The Black & I Won't Give In. I want this on CD. Ben is crazy as usual.

[@ITRGames]

These need to be on The Black as Bonus Tracks!

[@koneko-hime8244]

Denis: *tries to answer the food question* Interviewer & Ben: *talk right over him* IDK about anyone else but I'm feeling really bad for Denis rn

[@bree1155]

honestlyghost Yeah, I've seen alot of interviews and videos of performances I honestly think he's tired he can't be like Danny was...but he's left now I think that's one of the reasons

[@queenkupottv]

This is so beautiful I always love acoustic versions

[@breannaparmenter2360]

Denis' face when the interview said she was easy made me piss myself.

[@Ie4h]

HIS FACE WAS SO FUNNY THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH, HE LOOKS SO ANNOYED

[@jorgevalentine]

+Breanna Parmenter LOL He was like "She did not..."

[@KingJamezMusik]

Denis was just like "We are running a train on you tonight." lmao

[@EmmaBjornklevLundin]

+Breanna Parmenter At what time? x) I missed it!

[@memesaremylife8750]

1:13

[@RandomJojo]

I love how Bens always the star of the show. Breaking tradition of everyone loving the lead singer the most. Everyone loves Ben lol

[@amyoneill8079]

Everyday my love for these boys gets stronger and stronger. They never fail to put a smile on my face and make me laugh ❤️

[@JackBolga]

I feel bad for Denis. He knows english and everything but he seems like he doesn't understand all the jokes and stuff I believe since english it's not his first language that isbwhy he is just sitting there in silence hahaha. The same happens to me thats why I know lol.

[@Klangdelta1]

He wrote on Twitter that he has a cold so maybe he just didn't feel that awesome this day.

[@blinkered3439]

I dunno though in the interviews he's done with Ben he seems like be pretty fluent and understanding of what everyone is saying... Maybe he was tired or something?

[@drogothefirst]

+The Big Scary Long One - He's a lot of things but not shy. Look up his interviews with Bryan Stars from when he was with his old band Make Me Famous. This was probably a cold or something

[@vinceward6164]

+Karlo W he was drinking in that interview so that could have loosened him up

[@moodofasinner]

What's his first language?

[@annie-rosegrace8441]

I fall in love with this band over and over again. I love both Danny and Denis doing vocals, they both sound so beautiful

[@connordeal6402]

Both of these are awesome acoustic. Honestly surprised

[@aaron89857]

amazing he killed it cannot wait for the album

[@eva-vs1zu]

Denis is so quiet. But The Black was beautiful. I love I Won't Give In too. Ben is enjoying doing interviews haha. I love Denis and Ben 💖 Ben is so right when he said that Denis is cute. So true omg. Asking Alexandria come to Slovenia please 💖

[@koneko-hime8244]

why are some people saying AA sucks/Denis has no talent? I haven't listened to many songs, but I think they're great. And Denis can sing really well (considering English isn't his first language). It just confuses me when I see people saying he's talentless

[@elleceleste]

"he is cute until he puts his hair behind his ears" "he looks like dobbie" i laughed so fucking hard omg

[@kailagarbett1110]

right? I want to see it now so bad haha

[@zuhairkayaly1835]

+Kaila Garbett he actually uploaded some pics with his hair behind his ears on instagram :c

[@kailagarbett1110]

+zuhair kayaly yesss omg I am looking it up thanks cx

[@Beeki]

can't wait for their album

[@memesaremylife8750]

9:53 when denis says Of course, bens face tho

[@xxvampiregirlxx7409]

I like how he sang "slowly" instead of "fucking" :D but both songs sound amazing 😍 the way Ben talks about Denis is just so cute :D Dobby hahaha

[@Racheljz7]

Always love when heavier bands like these guys can do acoustics so well.. Love these songs acoustic and electric 😻🎉

[@mz3cassy]

Ben really is outgoing, when I met him he wasn't shy at all unlike me the total opposite omfg. I love these guys to piecessss.

[@austinknight6028]

Please release an acoustic album holy shit

[@GioBMX]

They have more then enough acoustic songs already, just make a youtube playlist with them

[@angelicamedina3603]

"your new you don't say that to me" I'm dead Ben

[@LuisBenitez128]

+Angelica Medina You're*

[@seenoevül98]

i wanted to hear ben's part.

[@askingattila2654]

saaaame

[@Ie4h]

Same. It's my favourite part

[@PonyPride101]

He was sick :(

[@mewalexandria9560]

same Q.Q but he sang together with I Won't Give In though :3

[@eva-vs1zu]

+Sarah Jane even if he was sick he had a lot of energy

[@Joeh2o]

OH MY JESUS I'M IN LOVE

[@krisvicious666]

I'm getting so emotional watching this! This is amazing! Holly shit! ❤

[@AndresAdventures]

I didn't realize Kylo Ren was in this band.

[@christianhackl474]

Good one😆🤣

[@gabbybruce8317]

Ben, is great at hiding hangovers. I swear. Everyone is hungover. But, ben being ben he doesn't sound hungover at all... XD

[@OtakuOutLoud]

He learned with Danny

[@vvlt8227]

They look so happy playing there !

[@efesolovevape9763]

amazing !!! asking alexandria for ever

[@PeripheralPurity]

the presenter is so happy bless

[@terrillt1998]

Loving this acoustic version

[@lalboihangsing1187]

James is so underrated can we appreciate him more?? He deserves more than this he deserves more recognition more than this his handsome and hd a great perfect posture and a killer smiles too. He's perfect.

[@Kaine9ine]

Aww Denis seems so camera shy

[@eva-vs1zu]

yeah

[@Lettheflamesbeginx3]

he talks in other interviews, Ben and the interviewer kind of took over this one smh

[@hannahrains6428]

19:55 had me dying...OMFG, I love these guys so much!!!!!

[@Nek0izTanK]

+Hannah Rains Can you tell me what he said pls x) I didn't understand (not my native language)

[@R0ckerM0mm4]

That was awesome!!!

[@Prospider99]

Ben: "From behind he looked like a younger Danny so," Interviewer: so nothing's changed

[@PomPomPomPommy]

Yes ! Sam is here ! The bass guys, the bass

[@tamzinpatterson7448]

That was insane!😍💕

[@strickentron]

why they not finish "The Black" in his entirety?

[@stewman536]

+strickentron It's a bit too strung out of a song, I feel that ending it there was a good choice for them

[@JesseniaAcevesLiveYT]

denis always looks so done with everything

[@HakkeFunghi]

omg. i love it. denis was nervous as fuck but well done.

[@Elitesoldier1r23]

Woah how cool, they all suddenly just went acoustic. James got his smaller drums (I don't know what they're called) and Sam even got an acoustic bass

[@kadithcollins2276]

it's called a Cajon if your reffering to the box he's sitting on

[@Elitesoldier1r23]

+Kadith Collins yeah thanks, that's exactly what I was talking about

[@dakotablue3064]

this is so good

[@GoodfellaMatt20]

I saw them the next day at the house of blues amazing concert

[@mikibcat]

when Ben and the girl were flirting Denis is just thinking to himself "just stop guys"

[@darksolaceofficial6751]

Awesome!

[@bananasplit7719]

I am so upset that I can't afford tickets to the show near me. I really want to see and maybe even meet them but I doubt it will ever happen. I love those boys way too much.

[@allie2839]

Same here

[@hannahartigan5706]

I thought the same thing but then it happened!!! Don't give up hope!!!

[@bananasplit7719]

hanna hartigan But I don't have any money. I won't by the time they get here. I have already given up hope. Besides, I am such a freak. Why would they want to meet me?

[@hannahartigan5706]

don't think like that!!! you seem amazing!!!! I know what you mean!!! I always feel like that!!!! if you ever need anything just let me know:)

[@bananasplit7719]

hanna hartigan Awww you are so sweet!

[@Thejakepipkin]

Meeting them sounds like a riot

[@antoninospezzano]

BEN AND THE INTERVIEWER AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

[@Kelsey1309]

'Don't talk Cameron, you don't have a microphone' - :') It's not until they play acoustic that I remember Cameron is a lefty guitarist! Especially when he and Ben are sitting next to each other, or in super close proximity together.

[@albertbrannan4]

this was surprisingly good considering how many backing vocals they add for live performances

[@christophervalerio3919]

The black sounded pretty much like a acoustic chillstep remix. I love it. XD

[@Lee-mw8rw]

denis looks like he's about to drop dead let the guy sleep

[@Begluckt]

Wena , tu mama es el jaime

[@nadavguy10]

Cause the bitch wont shut up

[@Begluckt]

+matix966 no wn,es el jaime

[@mollykay7695]

+Nadav Guy more like won't stop flirting

[@andrewmarshall7697]

My god acoustic I Won't Give In sounds awesome

[@41neve85]

that version of i wont give in made my cry...

[@AlexWilsonGuitar]

The way she said "Bullet for my Vaeeeeeelentine" was really really satisfying. Hahaha.

[@Jakairo]

perfection

[@arpitbhokre]

5:56 oh my god! its a voice of an angel! :O

[@nayarethsepulveda1521]

Yes 💕

[@julianadossantos9058]

BEN TALKS SO MUCH

[@eva-vs1zu]

Juliana Almeida yes he talks a lot and plus hes funny so...

[@GioBMX]

He drank 3 energy drinks before the interview

[@iwishiwasacomet]

actually excited for new aa music for the first time since from death to destiny

[@RoriumASMR]

+cogsandcrowns its the only new album after Death to Destiny... what else is there to look forward to...

[@iwishiwasacomet]

+FPS I know but after fdtd I wasn't really excited for more aa

[@kristelmiller3748]

His accent when he sings @14:31 omg

[@cantthink6937]

Ben: Food poisoning. Denis: So, You eat McDonald's Ben:Yeah, but McDonald's is good. Interveiwer: are you still talking about this? Ben: Yeah, we are. Denis: *Smiles and looks at the ground* I couldn't stop laughing. Litteraly. I watched it over and over bc it was just so cute.

[@angelamiller2577]

"The Black" is my favorite AA song from when Denis was in the band. I've seen the video, and during the part where they sing "I need to cut you out, etc.," it seems seems like Denis and Ben are singing, and I want to find a live version of that, but I haven't been able to do that yet. I wish they had performed the entire song, so that I could have hopefully figured that out.

[@jackkelly6251]

I really hope theirs a deluxe version of the black with some acoustic versions

[@clokingcap7618]

good song

[@DarkendSoulxXx]

Anybody else miss the bromance between Danny and Ben? It's not the same with Denis :/

[@1LGN]

You're judging one year compared to 6, relax

[@prepperskirra5659]

+EdgeRevelator ™ not only 6, they were roommates in college before AA as well. Danny and Ben were very long friends

[@1LGN]

Prepper Skirra Point proven.

[@zuhairkayaly1835]

At least Danny could follow up with Ben's sarcasm, I miss Danny

[@1LGN]

zuhair kayaly You're in void on that point. Just saw AND met AA yesterday via VIP and Denis was all for Ben's joking around

[@rosadoliteral]

ben: "i almost forgot how good we were"

[@bethanyzawadzka5792]

Just as good as the originals!! ❤❤❤❤

[@woahpizza]

When Denis says torn at 14:31

[@saff694]

There was a few times where Denis opened his mouth to talk but Ben would start talking

[@Zakkarae]

Can we talk about Sam's crotch shot at like 7:47

[@sanctuary001]

omg

[@ndokhai]

Rofl

[@slavsquatch]

+Zak Storey xD

[@theroastedghost1576]

[@qhajajsshsks6107]

I was waiting for the scream and it was just like wiuaaai

[@Dodoo159]

[@JUNIOR331083]

[@luuuluuu5368]

[@Cammyjeffrey]

one day denis will talk

[@eva-vs1zu]

He will talk more. He's just so shy.

[@eva-vs1zu]

Vanilly77 probably now when The Black is out

[@Lettheflamesbeginx3]

he does in other interviews, Ben and the interviewer kind of took over this one smh

[@jacobjames4537]

Annnnd,I saw them at the House Of Blues,it was sickkk

[@aidenpilot3119]

He's so good at singing it "I won't give in"! Idk why he lip sings it live :-/

[@cschyler]

Denis doesn't lip sing while he's live

[@Drumax0]

+Aiden Millar He had no choice around that time, they just recently recorded so they used studio version of it, from what I heard, for touring.

[@Ie4h]

He doesn't lip sync it live.

[@juanpmoran]

+Aiden Millar Cause here is singing one octave down

[@FatHorse44]

It's just a loud playback, I watched them live in Lincoln on the 14th, sounded amazing live

[@Kailzluvsyeww]

aww poor dennis xc all cute and awkwardly oblivious to the jokes .-.

[@ZackRouton]

I miss denis already. :( why did he have to do this to us?

[@bree1155]

Zack Routon I honestly think it was all too much for him. I miss him too

[@GioBMX]

Ben kicked him out because danny wanted to come back

[@GioBMX]

He said he went to Ukraine after the black tour and then ben told him danny wanted to come back and denis said if he was kicking him out Asking Alexandria means nothing until he gets whats owed to him.

[@moniquebrunato1449]

Ben does all the talking every time omg :')

[@youngjaes]

I love Ben so much! He's so funny and cool. When he was talking ukrainian, I was crying!!! Denisovich...♡

[@youngjaes]

Sorry, but I thought since Denis is Ukrainian

[@youngjaes]

Wtf?! (About the name) I did not know that, thank you for letting me know. So I'm gonna speak another language too... Denis Stoff in greek is pronounced Ντένις Στόφφ

[@youngjaes]

Your english are just fine! Where are you from? That thing with the names is really interesting... I know!! Everyone talks fast when they talk another language apart from yours!!

[@youngjaes]

Greece✌ Το όνομά μου είναι Σουσάννα. (=my name is Sousanna)

[@youngjaes]

+Vanilly77 By the way he said Denisovich for fun, cause the interviewer asked if she should call him Denis or Stoff and Ben said Denisovich...😂

[@MarcusCarlzon]

So why skipping the part when Ben sings and the epic ending on The Black? :O

[@mollykay7695]

I think I saw a comment saying he was feeling sick

[@MarcusCarlzon]

well dennis could sing it? :O

[@srirachashrimp707]

denis seems very shy

[@ghostpenguin891]

he's just sitting there

[@srirachashrimp707]

ghost penguin no dude i can tell. im pretty shy as well, and he does the same actions as me

[@ReSliSt]

+Sriracha Shrimp Danny was very shy when they started out, probably needs some time to get to such a point off stage.

[@brooke4473]

at 2:20 it looks like Denis was trying to answer her question but Ben butted in so he couldn't lol
