[@Montymole_360]

Crush 40 were formed for the purpose of making songs for Sonic, so there wasn't really any chance of it going much further. Johnny Gioeli is also the singer of the band Hardline, who are reasonably successful. So he has that to his name as well!

[@sonicfan2006]

As soon as I heard the first guitar riff of What I’m Made Of, I cried with happiness.

[@y_s4021]

So he was sick that day? Despite that, the show was a blast! It's really hard to do what he did. Doing a show with so many high-pitched songs in his hard rock/metal style and in his age is hard enough, but you gotta be extra careful when choosing where you'll put your energy. If you do it wrong, you'll lose your voice in the middle of the show. Such a talented musician, Johnny.

[@TenkaichiBudokaiAnnouncer]

Zebrahead should've come out to do His World and Dreams of an Absolution

[@shitpoststreet5610]

Actually, His world was written exclusively, by the two Zebrahead vocalists. Zebrahead also never had their own version on any of their own albums. They recorded 2 versions of the song. One as Zebrahead, and another as "Ali Tabatabaee and Matter Lewis". So 2/3 versions are essentially Zebrahead, and the song was written entirely by vocalists from the band, save for any parts exclusive to crush 40's version. Including the main version used in all promotional materials and trailers. Which was technically Zebrahead.

[@NicknineTheEagle]

Original His World was written and composed by Tomoya Ohtani with Ali Tabatabaee and Matter Lewis from Zebrahead singing the lyrics.

[@Joshua_Quinzel_Isley]

[@RednekGamurz]

From what I've heard, the 25th Anniversary Party crowd was just as alive and active during the Crush40 performance. The reason why it didn't seem that way from watching the live stream is that they had to cut off the crowd mics because of technical issues.

You can see and hear the transformation the more he gets into it. And given the condition he was in you can see the compassion for this, hear it in this voice. This is incredibly beautiful, no matter how dorky or cringy others may call it. You can tell they truly love what they do, and I love that they love it. Keep on Crush 40 and heres to any and all future sonic games that get to grace their presence with your mighty music.
