Dustin Bates, Songs Evolution (2005 - 2021)

Hello,
Regarding the release dates of the songs, they are based on Spotify! :)

[@zhroom8623]

Waiting on the Sky to Change feels the most like a Starset song. Like the bridge between the two.

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yesss, they say that when Dustin made Waiting on the sky to change, STARSET was already running through his veins! 😁

[@zhroom8623]

@@dustinuniverseyt In their latest song, EARTHRISE, one of the lyrics are "And I waited for the sky to change" and I'm certain it's a callback to the Downplay song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZimnIFpiNuYb9k

[@dustinuniverseyt]

@@zhroom8623 Coincidence? I do not think so ... 😁

[@thebloodsucker8644]

Guess He moved on to other Worlds than these

[@nedimemreozkas6875]

boy, do i have good news for you...

[@joshuajimenez6585]

It’s incredible how his voice changed through the years,l from his downplay albums which I haven’t heard to Starset,that’s when his voice really changed to this hard rock metal voice which I love more in my opinion,I think to me,Starset made him a lot better as a singer,he just added a bit more spice to his songs if you know what I mean 🤘

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yes, it's amazing how Dustin has improved his vocals a lot, even live!

[@Xpwnxage]

I literally just found out about his older band, had no idea. It sounds really good though.

[@momentomoricuzimgay]

While I originally wasn't much into his previous music, I absolutely loved some his downplay songs- especially Hated You From Hello. Its a banger sjdhdh

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yesss, me too :)

[@ScamwatchDallin]

I'd highly recommend Red Window if you haven't heard it yet. One of their better tracks from way back in the day.

[@torunsmok5890]

My fav downplay song has to be The One who Laughs Last

[@ZEPHYR_YT4]

Starset is my favorite band

[@dustinuniverseyt]

mine too, no doubt ❤

[@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179]

Agreed

[@Xpwnxage]

Mine too. His older band sounds great too honestly.

[@ZacharyHarpel]

Absolutely. There's not a song of theirs that isn't good.

[@lucyrom1231]

También es la mia

[@SunDiegoRockStar]

Basically in 2011 he already had his sound down. Tomorrow is one of my favs from Downplay, good choice.

[@dustinuniverseyt]

I chose Tomorrow because it's a song that delights me a lot, and it also shows another side of Dustin, it's magical! :)

[@alexbaribeault]

Even for Starset standards, Tommorow slaps. It's that good.

[@olafgurke4699]

Like many, I first learnt about Starset, and later about Downplay. And I gotta say, while Starset is among my absolute most favourite bands of all time, Downplay is also quite good. Especially songs like Hating You From Hello are uber bangers. Dustin was good back in the day, but now he is a legend. Thank you for this video.

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Thanks for the feedback man :), Dustin really is amazing in everything he does, as well as Downplay and Starset

[@olafgurke4699]

@@dustinuniverseyt For real. I'm really glad I got to see Starset live a few years ago. And thanks to you, I got to learn about even another band where he sings, so that's nice. ^^ iGhost is awesome.

[@dustinuniverseyt]

@@olafgurke4699 Yessss, I'm glad you now know MNQN, it's amazing :) Unfortunately I can't see Starset live :(, I hope that one day they come to Brazil!

[@olivialoris4841]

the vibe of mnqn songs are just so good. they lift my mood

[@stolenkill6282]

out of sight out of mind is the most uplifting song ever

[@Kaitou1412Fangirl]

I never knew Dustin was apart of another band before Starset. Learn something new every day. Also, Future Is Now is one of my favorite Starset songs. ❤️

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yessss, Dustin is a star :)

[@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179]

I know right? Its so nerdy and i love it

[@arimbianastasia969]

Did he sing iGhost?? i did not realize that, i came across that song not too long ago and i really liked it!! But did not know if it's Dustin, no wonder the voice sounds familiar

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yessss, MNQN is a Dustin project, we don't know if he will record more songs, but the album is amazing! :)

[@fernandolemus5965]

bringing it down is my favorite song from vessels

[@dustinuniverseyt]

It's also one of my favorites! thanks for watching :)

[@_Devil]

I'm glad they did a remaster of Waiting On The Sky To Change, because I had no idea Dustin had another band before Starset. I don't remember who the commenter was that mentioned it, but thank you, whoever it was. You opened up a whole new undiscovered discography for me to listen to and fall in love with.

[@blakejones4755]

Beyond The Machine is pretty close to the sound of Starset

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yessss, they say that the starset was born there... 😄

[@fangsinator8945]

I still can't realize that I saw Dustin in real life, he really gives off positive vibes, he is a passionate person and it shows, it feels and above all, when I took my picture with the group , I felt surrounded by a family, it's really the only group that gives me this impression, they are really incredible, both as artists and as human beings. Dustin is amazing and his evolution is growing with every concert, the 2023 horizon tour was the ultimate proof that Dustin is giving it his all.

[@dustinuniverseyt]

I hope one day to have the opportunity to meet them in person.

[@fangsinator8945]

@@dustinuniverseyt I saw them during Paris Tour

[@meatsweatsland]

Manifest is probably Dustin's favourite song of all he has created. I'm willing to bet on that.

[@Darkendviper]

I only know 2 Downplay songs but hell these sound like for real bangers He sounded so much different back then it's amazing!

[@mmsrkmax5820]

Waiting for the sky to change is when he started to sound Starset-esque!

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yesss

[@tristanscott331]

I didn't even know Dustin Bates jad a band before Starset!

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yeah it's so awesome :)

[@den-dudin-rock]

Damn. His voice used to be much deeper back in the days. After 2012 some strange things happened

[@implanless]

Hearing the evolution of his vocals, and now with brave new wolrd out. im super excited for the next album. Heard them when octane played my demons for the first time and fell in love

[@dustinuniverseyt]

I can't wait for the new album

[@CoffeeCat_YT]

I just want to say that this is my favorite artist of all time so I love seeing videos like this

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Mine too, Dustin with his songs helped me a lot, he's an impeccable artist

[@mir_kaminov]

And now every new song is like a beautiful gift )

[@saturnalia__de_fala_amo__002]

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Me too! 😄😄

[@Dark-wm3yx]

Good video, keep it up dude, it's nice to see how Dustin's voice has changed between the years, he's just great

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Thanks from Korea, I've known this band since the release of Vessels' album, and I could feel Dustin of various atmospheres after watching the video that you uploaded. Once again, thank you!

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Thanksssss, welcome!!! ❤ From Brazil :)

[@ZeroNilNoName]

You are one of my favourite musisians. If you're reading this, remember that you are one of the best men in this world!

[@dustinuniverseyt]

[@jebustchrist4054]

I'm going to have to look into this downplay. I'm always waiting for more Starset. Keep it up sir.

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Downplay is just awesome, thanks for watching :)

[@lavenderscythe6812]

Bro, the mixes improved a Lot from his first band to the first starset song, Also mnqn sounds fucking clean and You can hear all the sounds in mono

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yes, that may be one of the reasons why Dustin was so judged in his time at Downplay :(

[@echostar034]

Hearing him now vs years ago is wild.... Saw their recent Immersions 2 tour. Compared to their start holy fuck... He is top tier.

[@hvr6604]

Radiocalypse is love

[@giordy09777]

I agree with that my friend. My favorite album from Downplay

[@sventipede]

Dont care much for Downplay's debut album but everything else Dustin has made? absolute bangers. A day without gravity is one of my favorite albums ever and hes just been on a steady uprise ever since!!!

[@beesechurger9464]

i love Dustin Bates

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Me too ❤😊

[@Enivri]

I didn’t even know waiting for the sky to change was a song he made before. I just thought he made the song with Breaking Benjamin. I might listen to the downplay version aswell.

[@dustinuniverseyt]

it's nice, enjoy :)

[@LittleLeonie]

I'm low-key waiting for another mnqn album qwq

[@dustinuniverseyt]

I dream about it everyday

[@kadenlemon495]

Dustin Bates had a band before starlet?? Wow. I had to look it up and I’m listening to the most popular song right now. Downplay is pretty good.

[@dustinuniverseyt]

Yea!! Downplay was the first, and after the starset came mnqn :)

[@thebloodsucker8644]

@@thebloodsucker8644 Yes you are right
