You literally have documented Screamo history that would go unknown otherwise. Thanks for this. Been watching since newly posted 14 years ago.

[@dlrsnate5100]

I’m really far down the rabbit hole rn lol

[@AnguishForYourGreedIL]

"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

[@reiss_max]

Forreal! I was literally just telling someone over KZbin about this exact video! Such gold

[@MCRFAN201]

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.

[@drewthapanda8168]

Years later, and this has gone over so many people's heads lol

[@johndoe-ok2qi]

and thats the best part of the song, it speaks wonders of jonny craigs ability to create a melody.

[@HxCMAGB7]

Jonny doing vocals for ASD while wearing a Heavy Heavy Low Low shirt, those were the days man

[@belatorius3442]

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

[@nilsgustafson6067]

the best money you ever spent was seeing them with Jag.

[@user-sm3uc4tf4v]

@@nilsgustafson6067 with Jordan*

[@drewbert2765]

Literally did it again two months ago at the Jordan Blake remember show.

[@Goliath4341]

Much respect for both Jordan & Jag. They have fantastic vocals,but Jonny murders this song! Could only imagine this recorded. Abs. amazing!

[@thelatestttplague]

i wanna hear him sing wires and the concept of breathing. that would be epic

[@boxfullofstars]

oh my goodness I love this version! I wish they had recorded this with Jonny Craig! my favourite vocalist + my favourite band = epic!

[@23BabyManny]

johnny is like my favorite vocalist he has so much style to his voice

[@RyanRexWrex]

They're back with Jordan Blake :)

[@craigdavid00]

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.

[@Ridingasadad]

I agree saw him years ago when he was Emarosa and completely killed it

[@michaelshaheen573]

this needs to be recorded with jonny...shame its not

[@stevendarca5942]

Big shame big disappoint :( He killed this

[@Whattaname16]

If they would have this kept lineup it would have been fuccing legendary

[@jtomi003]

Johnny's pretty awesome. I love his HHLL shirt too.

[@ALAVERGAAAA]

imagine JONNY in this band ! omg best band ever

[@bollagurl]

God, I love JAG, but this song is so awesome with Johnny Craig!

[@iamtexan180]

Takes me back to high school!

[@sebmar71]

jonny craig would make any band a complete succes

[@mudkips9092]

"Whats up guys we're A Skylit Drive AGSIENSKEHPAJWJAA!!!!" Man twenty years later that shit still makes me laugh.

[@lulverine]

I think he says "We're a skylit drive let's have some fun"

[@craigdavid00]

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

[@REDRUMMURDER]

wow i can't get over this sound... i want this song but studio version with asd and jonny collab

[@quridapearson5068]

I love both Jonny, and Jag's voice!!

[@Ajbox303]

johnny is simple amazing man

[@TREYBOI]

God; Jonny is such a beast.

[@saucychurch23]

i dont care what people say about jonny, he is a fuck'n incredible singer. he has soo much talent.

[@LanDope]

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

[@Anthonybutimtaller91]

I see that’s HHLL shirt hell yeah

[@thewonderstrike]

i love how this live video has more views than the official video for this song! its all j craig baby!

[@originalsin34]

i almost like this version than the all ASD version.. jonny is just unreal.. his voice is outta this world..

[@Fourfingers]

I'd love to see jonny doing hey nightmare. His voice is just great. It fits in very well with almost anything.

[@maddogg97]

Pretty much the best video on youtube.

[@RichieKamikazeMusic]

Wow, he sounds great with them. But I just love Johnny's voice!

[@Jellyduckiscool]

yes he is. me and my friend know kyle from A Skylit Drive and he told us that johnny is in emarosa.

[@originalsin34]

didnt add this before, but the few words he sings between 2:24 and 2:30.. seriously gives me goosebumps at how he changes the sound and gets soft.. its amazing

[@saucychurch23]

i love jonny craigs voice sooooo much

[@stevenzavalaofficial]

2020 🤘🏻

[@thakid4life]

johnny is the shit. will forever remain in my list of greats

[@jong-jongspeaks4224]

I think this was the time Jonny was freshly kicked out from DGD.

[@Irma_Vep]

😍 These were the days

[@catrinacraft]

Craig Owens and Jonny Craig together! I would die!

[@seanjxmes]

They already did a thing years ago. Go check out Isles & Glaciers if you haven't already. ;)

[@againwerise12]

both jag and johnny are great singers

[@Snypler]

he's such a great singer.

[@kodycable3580]

This is my favorite video on the internet

[@georgebuynak5698]

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

[@ptvchick]

I love ASD and I think Jag is great, but I really like Jonny singing these songs too.

[@ProdbyCallen]

That intro with the beginning to Eris And Dysnomia was sick!

[@Ruhster8]

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.

[@airam0018]

they converted their intro into a song already.,kickass..its called "eris and dysnomia" its fuckin awesome!

[@1428elm]

What never was. Fuck im old

[@dizzle_p1338]

Man this is soo good. Too bad it wasn't recorded.

[@blackdahlia7020]

I really want this album to be sung by Jordan

[@HaizaraRaita]

This would have been an amazing band. Without a doubt.

[@jpab121]

lol i love the little backwards dance he does after 2 mins :)

[@RealJon]

@SuperMadMovies HELL YEAH! it would be a dream come true for jonny to be in/or tour with ASD

[@zachsoulbrotha7]

They're both good, why can't people just appreciate both singers they just have different styles?

[@PitCamProduction]

YEAH great VIDEO !!!!

[@BuffaloSabres4L]

Soo classic!

[@TehBloodyYank556]

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.

[@JuanHernandez-qx2fn]

This is historic

[@xPullYourSwordsx]

the better version of this song :) love you jonny!

[@jackwasjmansk8r]

this is like my fucking dream band. jonny with asd. dude...

[@TheIloveyoukid]

wow johnny is so great.. love his hair and facial hair

[@clasher23]

thanks you soo much for this video.. i watch it way too much. wish johnny could have joined them.. but new singer is pretty badass too.

[@AndThenCameThenC]

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.

[@Mykael88]

Actually he sounds like a perfect fit

[@choppergoodbye7562]

HEAVY HEAVY LOW LOW SHIRT

[@thereal_angelop508]

31 de diciembre de el puto 2021 …. Fuck ye!

[@skippy5150]

Dang dude I love ASD but if Johhny Craig was the singer they would be freakin amazing! This song sounded so good with him!

[@GrotesqueRomance]

I would die to have gone to this

[@Tury1799]

during this time, how could u not want JC in your band?

[@bolognabboy9165]

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?

[@Psookpy]

@@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.

[@DGD4Landy]

Voice of an angel but he's a shit human lol

[@DerekLikesToParty]

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.

[@wyzguy231]

Very rare O.o props for getting footage.

[@MaruMiranda17]

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.

[@StzaCrizzack]

i have that same heav heavy low low shirt and im wearing it right now!!!!

[@brendiita24]

Wish Jonny Craig Was In The Original (: His Voice IS Amazing !

[@thakid4life]

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

[@hOtTpLaYr07]

he used to be the lead singer of Dance Gavin Dance. he is now is now with Emarosa. -Paul

[@jacobkilgannon91]

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^^

[@sebmar71]

jonny craig = the power

[@furyatthiscity2469]

its so awesome, when they just stop and he says "what the fuck is up guys, we are a skylit drive" and then that brutal breakdown starts, and how jonny is like rocking out, ITS "mindbottling"

[@guitarak]

i know i love him

[@ChestersANightmare]

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

[@FromFirstToErik]

hahah johnny is wearing the same HHLL shirt from when i saw them like a year ago

[@nickbretruth]

dude jonny criag and a skylit drive would be the most amazing band. just fuckin imagine what their album would be like... its makes me jizzzzzz:p

[@PookieBearxD]

I likie thissss

[@xDGDx]

Hell yes. Jonny Craig > Everyone

[@zachsoulbrotha7]

They never did a recording with jonny, he just filled in when they were on tour.

[@NolantheClown]

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!

[@poopdoop22]

i totally agree

[@juan22091]

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.

[@chinkyrena]

:x so freaking goodddd!!!!!! :D

[@teng50x]

kickass old lyrics man.,

[@Adovock]

I LOVE A Skylit Drive, BUT Johnny can do anything. This proves it. This is ridiculous. Though A Skylit Drive is already making their last album right now, it would have been amazing if Jonny would have been their vocalist for a while.

[@MCRFAN201]

that gave me a smile ^_^ added you as a friend.

[@freshviibes]

i totally agree with you! [=

[@roqueadeleon]

This dude has been in so many bands LOL.

[@cexar08]

prety sick

[@Supremebean303]

For 2007, this is great quality. Must’ve been a really expensive camera.

[@wegaengine1]

thanks man. ^^

[@BlizzyTime]

To think we never would have seen this had someone not thought to whip their phone out real quick..

[@ChadWellTheMan]

diggin his heavy heavy low low t-shirt, didnt realize jonny craig was that fuckin good either

[@freshviibes]

i totally agree with you knife! [=
