Crown The Empire - Out Of Focus (Mini Documentary)

[@GhostKillerEntertainment]

I remember when Brandon sent me Breaking Points on MySpace a long time ago, i've been a huge fan of them ever since!

[@gwensmith6889]

I appreciate the band sharing this. In particular, I admire Brandon for “speaking out” about his speech. As a parent of a child who has speech challenges , but who has gifts in other areas, I am encouraged to see how music has been an amazing vehicle of expression for him (as well as his band mates).

[@UnholyNuke27]

I'm glad I'm not the only one here who feels that they should've mentioned Dave. He was a big part of Crown for a couple years, at least give the man credit or something.

[@AlexMan999]

I remember a long time ago before they got Dave and even Brent. I messaged CTE to use some of their music on my shitty gaming videos and they responded that I could. Really amazing seeing how far they have come.

[@RobertMatlock]

I remember everyone using their EP songs in Call of Duty montages, lowkey I think that gave them a huge boost when they started. Some of those videos had hundreds of thousands of views, millions combined.

[@ZxRiGxZ]

Robert Matlock yeah 100% blew them up, wish they would share they’re feelings on that COD community, wild stuff.

[@drdouchenozzle3556]

Dude i remember those... I totally foegot fazeclan used voices in a montage... fuck I feel.old that was 8 years ago

[@saintssinner5806]

They should of mentioned Dave at least once. He was there for a quite a few years and made some really awesome music with the band.

[@deddratz]

dave wasn’t even an original member of the band .-.

[@ghostfvce2151]

Gabrielle Amber how is that relevant to the original comment? Dave is the reason the band even blew up the way they did, not mentioning him is pretty lame.

[@deddratz]

Sekiro i never said it was :( but if they chose not to mention him ,they had their reasons for it :( and they’re doing great without dave too . idk why every one asks about dave but not ben,alex.austin or whatever :( cuz every member played a huge factor but everyone wants to focus on dave. don’t be so picky about who to favor. they know dave was there. they don’t need to mention him when he’s not even there anymore :/ i’m not trying to argue or anything but there’s obviously gonna be reasons for it .

[@ghostfvce2151]

Gabrielle Amber well out of their 5 albums, Dave was a part of 3 of them.. he should have been mentioned and not doing so makes it obvious that his departure was not on good terms.

[@deddratz]

Sekiro like i said. they had their reasons :( nothing you can do about it now. if they don’t want to mention dave then that’s their choice

[@blacktide888]

Crown the Empire one of the best bands out there man, these guys always kick ass. 🤘🏾

[@oknotkey3943]

these days we had a new bmth sound, after the burial, bvb re-recording and now this delight

[@woof7046]

After the burial what did they drop ?

[@apeydawg]

crown has spoken so much to me over the years - i remember when i first saw them at Warped Tour and ever since then i do my very best to not miss a show, you guys will forever be one of my favorites and one of the bands that helped me through some dark shit. its amazing how far you guys have come

[@justyouraveragedrummer4368]

Is it just me or Should they have mentioned David in the slightest bit

[@WithoutAChance64]

David carried the band

[@mirandathune9975]

Seriously though. I hope they give him SOME cred throughout this mini series. It's okay if y'all had issues and went your separate ways. But you still need to give credit where credit is due. Just my opinion

[@daisyfuentes1505]

I mean he’s not apart of it. I believe that David left for the drugs and drinking too.

[@seddtgesnowmsn]

really much, they kicked him out because he did not contribute to the process of the band and was about partying and drugs all the time.

[@justyouraveragedrummer4368]

Sedd maggsnow Nochoriana. Oof i didnt know the story of why he was not in sudden sky good to know

[@shamus248]

nice touch not mentioning or showing Dave, but using a clip from Initiation with his vox

[@NewportShortie]

I have been following Crown since the very beginning. the past ten years have been nothing but appreciation and love. for all the haters you guys may have, there are 2x as many lovers, like me. Don't ever stop please. So many people respect and love you.

[@retrocobra2744]

I have not been disappointed with an album. As I grow with you guys my music taste change drastically and I love the new sound you guys come up with.

[@getsosavage9841]

wow I had no idea brandon had a speech impediment.. that's crazy

[@kaylavance2283]

This documentary definitely touched my heart!

[@ZxRiGxZ]

This was awesome to see! I was first introduced to your band through Call Of Duty, your song “Wake Me Up”was used in a huge montage from a famous creator back in 2008/2009, was soo sick to combine the two and everyone loved it. Still enjoying all your work today!

[@AbxminatixnZ]

what creator

[@ZxRiGxZ]

Abomination Z It was a famous player, pioneer of a huge community, name IReapZz - Channel was Thereaper123666. Hardcore music was what everyone used in this era of COD. Other bands like RED and Breaking Benjamin were used and thousands of people became hooked.

[@brett5569]

No mention of Dave at all?

[@justyouraveragedrummer4368]

Finally someone who caught that

[@vecta234]

They did not even show him on any clips

[@shamus248]

they pretend he doesn't exist

[@kaelawhitt3055]

always loved crown since 2014 !! but once i saw how hard you guys go live in 2018 for the first time that was it you guys became my favs. as soon as this pandemic is over i can’t want to see you guys live again!!

[@riseoftherunaways6771]

you did such a good job on this brandon, love you guys 💘

[@Shinymold]

Would've been interesting to hear about the past members of the band a bit. Not really about the specifics cuz they gotta keep SOME things private understandably, but just like the impact of losing half of their vocal lineup or even Benn who supposedly had a big hand in writing the band's early stuff when they weren't doing it themselves. Hearing about how they came into Sudden Sky having to figure everything out. I mean hell, this was their first album they wrote themselves & that's impressive. That's a take I'd like to hear more from them if nothing else, the struggles of going from having everything written for you to taking that leap of faith to do it yourself.

[@joshuakram]

Retrograde was the first album they wrote themselves.

[@RiseofRunaway]

I love this but I feel like they should have at least mentioned Dave and Benn, it’s as if they were never part of the band :(

[@jetset1123]

Asking Alexander had a worse fall out with Danny but managed to work things out. Them not even acknowledging him hurt and seems a bit immature but hey it’s their band.

[@1SecondToLight]

Did you guys even notice that Bennet and David were in your band before?

[@SlydeHG]

been listening to crown since the beginning and had no idea brandon had a speech impediment. hell yeah, bro. i'm proud of you.

[@juhbenward18]

I want these type of videos more often and with more bands and more topics, i simply love to hear the band members that i love speaking about everything

[@brspartan3433]

Since day 1 and will continue to be with them 4ever. CTE 4L

[@michel3691]

Love seeing the real emotional side of the band.💚💯

[@tamicagovender6720]

Please come back to South Africa I absolutely love you guys😫💙. Ive been listening to your music for about 4 years now and your music honestly got me through much in my life that i just wanna say thank you🙌💙. And stay safe and stay strong guys🤗

[@oisingeorge4682]

Everytime I've seen you guys you have inspired and impressed me with your talent and how decent youve been to fans. It's awesome seeing you guys raw and honest, and makes me even more excited to see you again at the soonest opportunity. Big love!

I remember talking to Brandon at Warped Tour and I didn't even notice his speech impediment. He was just really excited about Retrograde.

[@CoreMusicBoss]

Okay, but let's talk about Dave, he was such a great talented vocalist, it's shame that he lose his chance to show what he can make in music!

[@jetset1123]

He started a band called In Motive I think. I can’t remember off the top of my head

[@joshuakram]

@@jetset1123 Dave didn't start it. He replaced their old vocalist.

[@blackenedfeatherz9503]

idk why yall are so hung up on them not mentioning dave or benn, they didn't even talk about anything where they would be that relevant. Yeah maybe if this was a longer more drawn out documentary going over their whole history they should be mentioned but this was just a lil thing where they mostly just talked about how the current members started the band n shit.

[@blessthephil]

Limitless EP was my shit back then. Even the re-release was fucking dope (or maybe even better because of daves screams)

No entendí nada pero que palabras tan inspiradoras de andy! 💖💖

[@KandidVision]

What did Dave do that caused him to get kicked out? I still can't find a proper answer? Also missing Benn too but he left willingly

[@Kait16xo]

I think he left on his own terms because he didn’t like the direction the band was going. It’s been like 4 years though so I don’t recall 100%
