I've never heard Jon talk, and he actually sounds like a normal person

[@Ephesians6.11]

He is the sweetest human being ever

[@ChaosXeloc]

agree

[@Krincyn]

After his first line, all I thought was, "Oh. So that's how his voice sounds."

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

I think it's more he speaks like a normal person😂

[@skapilgrim7157]

ThatMetalDude he’s a normal dude outside,but his mind is a whole other world.

[@hrnancastillo]

Jon looks way more comfortable in this interview compared to old ones, that’s so nice

[@SuperShadownight11]

That is very nice to see! Poor Jonny Boi is always so on edge. Makes me upsetty spaghetti.

[@Zzzonked1990]

"Better than the last one." Give it to us now! Great to see Jon in an interview.

[@vrontor18]

Couldn’t stop staring at Jon’s nice arms.

[@Ephesians6.11]

You and me both gurl

[@gatordontplaynoshit1]

Veronica Torres you prob mean Tilian

[@vrontor18]

deff meant Jon

[@revengeacademy]

Veronica Torres ~ jon with sunglasses or without sunglasses?

[@ebenezerspludge8369]

@@revengeacademy Owww... Nice ha ha. Yeah Veronica, jon with sunglasses or without sunglasses?

[@georgevega9597]

I love you when they ask Tilian about his solo career Jon is like wait Im doing my own thing too if you didn't know lol

[@naebiird]

“I mean this in a very endearing manner, your a really weird band” 🖤🖤

[@bomboclat10]

this dudes a good interviewer lol. he asks decent questions frfr

[@matthewviarrial6360]

DGD+Whatculture= quickest sub of my life

[@MattlProductions]

Tilian's statement about thinking of creativity as either a muscle or a well is really cool and thought-provoking!

[@logie2144]

"better than the last one" - Jon Mess

[@fridayjuniorjuniorfrizzle9272]

Sykke 😫😫🙃🙃🙃😯😯😯

[@theraVen27]

I would push down a grandma to be in studio with DGD. The most amazing band ever.

[@daeganj]

Oh

[@boggysaurus]

why did you use that random example 😂

[@arliasanchez]

I can’t wait for this new album!!!! I’m going crazy over here

[@rogergoza3180]

Such a great band

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Favourite band ever

[@nfranklin997]

Jon is the normal seeming person, but on the mic he's a mad man & it's the best possible conversion possible

[@monkehgamingofficial]

I find it funny that the clean singer, Tilian's microphone cable is neat and clean, and the unclean vocalist's is.... a Mess

[@marcusgosling2298]

👏👏👏

[@gibbles12]

Wow what a coincidence

[@damiangonzalez1586]

Nice pun

[@theangelbelow88]

These guys never slow down, been into them since the first EP way back in 07 or whenever it dropped, also this is the first time I seen Jon talk like a normal person and it's kinda weird, so use to him talking on a stage and just being a hype machine lol

[@theangelbelow88]

Oh Jon, boring is never a way I would ever use to describe DGD lol

[@jeremydagrosa4727]

This is a fantastic interview. Very interesting. Hes a fantastic interviewer. I love whatculture and DGD are one of the best bands.

[@Br0Lma0]

jeremy dagrosa right? I feel like he’s touched on a lot of points I have never seen any interviewer touch on with anyone and I appreciate that. It’s not the same old questions I felt like

[@AutomaticDuck300]

I need their new album in my life.

[@skully3661]

Hey you, yes you. Hope you've had a good day and remember you're awesome the way you are.

[@ItsRossinator]

Their Randomness™ is why this band will always keep me coming back. Every song feels so unique to me I love it.

[@goo_ooze]

DGD in WhatCulture... A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@nataliewetzel2725]

I have a rather shy, school gorl crush on Jonny boi Mess. That voice is so sensual

[@kevinpratt1365]

Very nice interview! This is the most I've heard Jon talk since Rock Solid, he's usually resting his voice during interviews!

[@beanbeater]

The irony here is that Tillian has a pretty sweet high pitched voice and he is pretty Buff compared to Jon who has a normal timid voice but is a monster while singing.

[@tyquanchew6646]

Super appreciate this interview! Easily my favorite brand that I don’t see get interviewed enough, let alone well!

[@jaredcarillo974]

This is amazing you guys are interviewing them. Iv be watching what culture for a while now. And now you guys are interviewing my favorite band from my hometown! Sacramento, CA! Epic!

[@jeremydagrosa4727]

Same

[@thisiswhereamat]

I was just about to say the same thing really awesome Whatculture keep it up👍🏻

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Favourite band ever

[@HawthorneHeights88]

All of these comments about Jons voice haha has no one watched any interviews with him over the years??

[@dumbjakeworld]

A wave of new fans come in with each new album so it makes sense. Plus most people who are casual fans don't seek out band interviews.

[@HawthorneHeights88]

@@dumbjakeworld Ahh yeah I guess that's true. I also recently learned that a lot of the newer fans only listen to the Tilian era albums & haven't even checked out the older catalog. They're missing out on so much greatness.

[@who12003]

Nope

[@chrisjr1247]

Guessing they're new fans.

[@Altroburst]

Glad to see tilian & jon get more interview

[@jarydrodriguez5287]

CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SWANFEST NOW DGD AND KNOCKED LOOSE HAS ME GOING INSANE

[@SuperShadownight11]

Knocked Loose on Swannfest caught me off guard but, definitely going to be a blast!

[@Wtp2507]

Downtown Battle Mountain III inbound

[@djentile7773]

The genius comes natural. They can't really put it into words haha.

[@erbihc1781]

I'm soooo hyped right now !!!

[@maskedmadnessproductions8105]

Super stoked for the new album!

[@mechlord-emperor9682]

I can’t wait!!! I love Dance Gavin Dance

[@OscarSanchez-nk3uw]

Glad to see Beez again! One of the best interviewers!

[@ThatBlindGuy247]

Glad Beez has joined was a great time on scuzz

[@Ephesians6.11]

Holy shit thank you so much for this see you Bois in march

[@josh043p6]

Can't wait for the new album!!!

[@adecakaship2486]

Jon saying that something is gonna be strange?! Man it must be really fucked up, please bring it to me now!!

[@skinWalkman]

Love these guys. Always hoping for Downtown Battle Mountain 3.

[@ItsRossinator]

Battle Mountain 2 is definitely one of my favorites.

[@GarrySugabo]

What a great interview. Thank you! This really digs into the band.

[@miamunoz4263]

Jon is so cutely awkward and Tillian is the social butterfly, so cute when Jon doesn’t know what to say so he leaves it too tillian everytime to finish the answer🤣❤️

[@damiangonzalez1586]

"the new ones are gonna be stranger" oh shit, we're going for a ride

[@imrippeddude]

I can't wait for the album! Oh man, its killing me.... i need this

[@BadDubII]

Still waiting for DGD to come to Ireland!

[@nicholasrogers2046]

I CANNOT wait bro. CANNOT.

[@worriorjack]

I love this band

[@diohandingdal9865]

That man with the slipknot shirt tho 😎

[@ItsRossinator]

Can't wait for the next one, LP2 from Secret Band was just 🔥.

[@I_Lucid_Dreamer]

I have to admit this interview was pretty good as far as what questions were asked. Some interviews are a little too silly and i feel the band is sometimes put in a more awkward position. Thanks for this!

[@ashlynrocha193]

My babiesssss I can’t wait for DGDX and hope they bring swanfest to the east coast in the future 🤞🏼

[@cristianandrade9987]

Interviewer all up in Jons personal space lol

[@joseph-elliott8535]

Are you saying you wouldn't be, given the chance

[@jefflaclaire2206]

I was full expecting jon to do unclean talking for the interview

[@the_the__empty]

gosh theyre so pretty

[@brandondickson873]

Whatculture interviewing dgd? Am i dreaming?

[@snowball7829]

sooooooo excited!!!

[@OfficialSteve101]

Oh my god Jons voice... lol, I don't think i have ever heard him just speaking normally

[@theangelbelow88]

Same 😅

[@thatmetaldude3325]

Yep, that's exactly what I said....I honestly expected him to be super hyper and crazy, but he's actually really reserved.

[@andreysafonov7491]

Jon spoke with Kurt normally in "Rock Solid". Have you ever heard that song?

[@GrimIsolation]

Love DGD!

[@strawberrireli]

Excited for DGDX!

[@monkehgamingofficial]

I'd say they fit in with Post-Hardcore more than anything. Maybe Experimental.

[@theraVen27]

Monkeh Business Swan-core. It’s its own thing

[@ghastlyshimmer]

Swancore. It's like progressive post hardcore with frantic math-y guitars.

[@benjaminwoodman]

Borederline metalcore

[@adriyear]

COME TO BRAZIL

[@ianangello9577]

That’s sick y’all like dgd

[@midnasalinas8857]

great interview, but the sound is terrible.

[@Dark55tackles]

Yeah they need a better mixer so everyone's voice doesn't blow up the audio

[@hellothere9368]

Consider that they're outside. That has a huge impact on audio quality.

[@Dark55tackles]

@@hellothere9368 I also think it's their mixer, their voices kept booming and clipping the audio, which usually you can fix with a decent enough mixer and or an audio program

[@sethduncan3930]

Great work guys!

[@bacon1029k]

Thank you

[@frankunodostres473]

I wish these guys did a european tour soon

[@craigletrick8772]

Omg yes

[@123risekenny]

Low budget interview, but surprisingly good. Jon usually doesn't say much.

[@nahbro8232]

An interview on a picnic table, in front of a garage door. Noicee!

[@godofwar0678]

Jon's voice isn't a mess?

[@boredperson8x]

Lots of fuzziness in the mic. Great interview!

[@jaymo107]

A good interviewer for once! Thanks for this :)

[@Acarinn]

PUMPED!

[@Dingus7696]

Fucking love DGD

[@jabug_1144]

The new album is really good imo.

[@dimasnurdianto]

It's nice to see Jon sober while being interviewed

[@aiyana3329]

IM CRYING

[@tedwooter]

I need Jons normal voice on my gps, and when I miss a turn or go the wrong way, he just snaps the fuck out on you. But what would he scream at me?

[@burr4695]

I want to watch this interview but the sound is killing me

[@caseydykes117]

See you on Sunday 😭😭

[@sadrat4703]

I don’t care about Dance Gavin Dance, bring me more Secret Band!!!!

[@bradandslim8153]

Leave

[@hungrypanda7928]

What’s wrong with both...?

[@XXXmar123]

Jon is actually daddy

[@daeganj]

It’s weird to me that Jon is so normal

[@restless_ella]

Wow I’ve also gone for so long never hearing Jon talk and idk that I want to finish this video and ruin it

[@restless_ella]

Idk what I expected but what a gentle man

[@tristanwelch424]

Jon Mess looks ridiculously similar to Garand Thumb

[@vectred7959]

Now that you mention it. Holy fuck.

[@Gwilfawe]

Not looking for distortion in the interview.. Just the album

[@Bakutakamine]

How come all of their new interviews have AWFUL audio quality? These guys deserve better.

[@Cymoar]

Lol I came here toootally expecting Jon to act super wacky and making a bunch of jokes cuz of the way he is in their music videos but he’s pretty laid back 😂

[@grizzb2374]

Try and interview Avatar. They're amazing guys!

[@beanbeater]

Oh my Lord!!! I will die for that

[@LiveAliveWithABMartin]

I’m just waiting on a new Secret Band album, tbh.

[@durazo67]

Hi from Swanposting

[@tyebrygamingmusician6790]

its good to hear the other members talk. I remember watching a couple interviews with DGD and will swan answered almost every question and it was annoying.

[@quridapearson5068]

❤️!📸‼️ 🎵 ❤️!

[@pnklysmooth9888]

Got ultra VIP tickets to meet and greet them. Gonna ask Jon what he meant when he said "I can't face the fact that my ass ain't a plaque there's a wall and my behind is not there. I can't wait to tap into the brain of my cat to let him know that he's a little baby meow meow boo" ? Any other questions?

[@TheHangman]

Holy hell turn the gain down

[@JammyJims]

Nice audio

[@ehjaybee85]

Basically resurecting a dying genre will make for a fantastic year.

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

I mean, 2019 was the year of metalcore, maybe 2020 will be the year post hardcore

[@24joeysushoes]

Guat? What?!

[@FAMExDEMISE]

That audio is atrocious

[@jamiehoward6505]

I used to love DGD however everything after mothership is crap
