Emarosa - The Past Should Stay Dead (Official Audio)

[@lisamoschetti8919]

I saw Jonny Craig last night in Palmdale, Ca. My son, Christopher Matthew Morse loved him! We bought tickets to his show about 7 weeks ago. My son died 10/23/23 I went to the concert baby, representing you! They dedicated this song to you, said your name and Jonny and strangers hugged me. I love you so much and I can’t stand the emptiness I feel without you. All I want to do is hold you, protect you and love you!

[@AaronAviion]

Sorry for your loss dear

October 23rd is my birthday, I’m so sorry for your loss, your son is watching over you.

Johnny's voice blew my mind the first time I heard this. Amazing track

[@Why-I-Oughta]

Still blows mine. 🤯

[@DearestClaudio]

This song is one of the best ways to kick off an album. So powerful.

[@xM4XvPA1Nx]

And from Dance Gavin Dance - I told them i invented times

[@Mr.Rogers.]

"TAILORED SHEETS!!!" The intro to this song is so iconic. It randomly pops into my head every now and then. Jonny's vocals really shine on this track. The guy has so much natural talent. I hope he gets the help he needs and is in a good place. So glad I was in the music scene during this era. I was friends with he drummer of Slaves and got to hang with Jonny and a lot of other bands of the time. Such fun memories.

[@booziebear28]

This album opened my eyes to a lot of music, Johnny Craig's solo act, dance Gavin dance and so much more. Thank you for making this amazing timeless record

G'day Mr Damage a 60 year old headbanging Aussie bloke here, this is 1st time hearing this band & this song today 22nd June 2024. Fuckin love it,sure i'll be listening to everything they have online over next few weeks. 2 days ago i was following music down the infamous rabbits holes on YT Johnny Craig's previous band Slaves now Rain City Drive i think ? Correct me if i'm wrong. So much great music out there and not much time left for me to hear it all before my final curtain call....Think i just found my new flavourite band of the month "Emarosa" to listen to. IF IT'S TOO LOUD YOUR TOO FUCKIN OLD.......Rock on ! 🤟🎼🎸

people can say what they want about JC but that man can sing so damn good

[@symshark]

Agreed.

[@tehandroidmaster]

Too bad years of heroin abuse and being a scummy person in general took a toll on his credibility. Three bands kicked him out for the same damn thing (one of them having kicked him out twice). How many times does a band have to kick you out for drug abuse before the message sinks in?

[@rminter44]

@@tehandroidmaster It may seem logical but drug addiction is void of logic it's a disease of the mind that needs to be healed and not an easy one when your body becomes dependant on it on top of thar

[@tehandroidmaster]

@@rminter44 I don't disagree with what you said, but Jonny's been in and out of rehab *multiple* times. He surely knows the difference between being detoxed and healthy vs what crippling dependence to an opioid feels like. He has *repeatedly* exhibited this pattern of relapse with *multiple* people who were *completely* unaffiliated with one another. I can sympathise with Jonny in that heroin is truly nightmarish to get clean from and many often die trying to get clean in the first place due to how deep their physiological dependence goes. However, my sympathies don't go any further than that. Sully Erna is another musician who's intimately familiar with opioid withdrawal, and yet he's been with Godsmack from the very beginning! It's almost like... wait a minute: acknowledging your fuckups as a human being, earnestly making progress on your faults, and trying your damndest to keep your nose clean is all it takes to *not* be a complete and total pariah! Tl;dr version - Drug addicts have my sympathy, but the ones like Jonny sure as hell don't help the cause.

[@Trevormcgoldrick]

+howardsrollin This band, and song, were HUGE when it came out. Almost every person I know who was into music in 2008 still has this record in their library. It's just not that hyped on anymore because it's over 7 years old now, and the band has released two full lengths since, one being with a new singer. Still a favorite for people who were around when it was still fresh, though.

[@marcixchumarcixchu6920]

[@emerald4756]

I feel like Jonny along with Anthony Green (OG Saosin, Circa Survive) don't get enough credit for their voices. They are definitely 2 of the best out there and can hit notes I didn't know someone could hit.

[@horridCAM]

@@emerald4756 jonny got plenty of credit and could have gone on to do great things had he not repeatedly chosen drugs over his passion. I guess drugs BECAME his passion. As a former addict I totally get it, but it doesn't make it any less tragic.

[@mikhailalekperov5139]

For sure. Johny's voice is unreal, and you can hear these emotions and passion...

[@meowmixmann]

Easily one of the best vocal performances of the 'scene'. Unreal!!! It never gets old. What I would do for 25% of his voice!

[@DroFBs7]

Not only one of the best songs I've ever heard, with some of the best vocals, and drumming. But i think fairly one of the best songs of its genre period.

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

yeah if that generic warped tour endorsed sound was anywhere close to being the best of the genre, but its actually pretty unremarkable and not cared for by anyone in this scene with any sense

[@brandosmoke6737]

What a fascinating insight that I had genuinely never considered but I agree it's pretty dope.
