How Twenty One Pilots got their name

Tyler Joseph explains how they got the name Twenty One Pilots and what it means. He also leaves us with the message of "make the right decision even though it might be the hard decision."

This band name is awesome, because of the meaning to it, not because it "sounds cool" . Tyler has a great point , you have to make the right decision, even thought it might be the hard decision . This is why I love twenty one pilots so much, . They show the true beauty of music . |-/

[@talazb4673]

It feels strange when he says that twenty one pilots died, because I automatically think of the band.

[@EurekaFoster27]

I love the meaning behind their band name. It shows that they put effort into everything that they are willing to stand for, which is pretty rare these days ♥

[@vincentmoore1058]

Well I was taking an acting class, about ten years ago, we were each assigned a monologue to study for about two weeks and then perform it. I was given a scene from this play.

[@StarberryCreetH]

Omg Tylers voice is so much different then when he sings

[@bblunder]

Lot of good singers voice are different when they talk normally. You don't have to have a good voice, you need to control your voice to be a good singer

[@StarberryCreetH]

@@bblunder I dont even remember commenting this lol

[@kimongogo4032]

Doing my speaking and listening GCSE test... This is one of the reasons why I am doing Twenty one pilots for the test! These guys are so inspiring, the more research I find about this band the more I'm falling in love!!! |-/

[@williamtorres5215]

wow not many bands put thought into their names like you guys the meaning amazing and whats the name of the play

[@devongomez6089]

The play is called All My Sons by Arthur Miller. I read it myself and I highly recommend it, it is an incredible story with riveting concepts and themes.

[@Starr68000]

When I started reading the play (All My Sons) and they first mentioned 'twenty one pilots' I thought of the band and googled to see if there was any link...and then this video ruined the whole play for me! Still worth reading though, and I respect them for putting so much thought into their name 👌

[@bookworm5031]

This is EXACTLY what I just did omg spoiler alert 😂

[@ayesha8809]

Josh looks SOOOO fucking zoned out lmao

[@realleftover]

It does indeed, not seem vague

[@hanzyg17]

All my sons

[@1GMitzy]

Hello! Here 11 years late, the play is called 'All My Sons'

[@wadop]

I honestly thought it was because they were 21 when they made their first album

[@DenibeustheGamer]

I like how meaningful Twenty One Pilots is and it's just amazing

[@prussianmaple]

theyre so cute ugh

[@alexsalehi1243]

Those two dislikes tho, Probs Tyler and Josh disliking it because they thought they looked bad lmao

[@MuhammadIlhamuodd254512]

[@critNnn]

I really loved All My Sons. Arthur Miller is truly a genius, and the whole idea of the fallibility of the American dream is really interesting to me as a concept. How it's still a marketed concept all across the world, and people still believe it. If you haven't read All My Sons I would really reccomend it. Another graet play by him, but with some different themes is The Crucible, if you have the time.

[@daphneh9612]

I watched the play it was really good and quite emotional at the end

[@Rachel98246]

I just finished reading that play, All my Sons, with my tutor! I knew that they were named after it but I didn't know for sure! I feel smart :3

[@nancylambert8896]

I like the story behind the name!

[@Anxiety_Asylum]

WHO THE FUCK IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD DISLIKE THIS??? XD

[@Imsj31]

I forgot on the story of why they picked that name so now I know thanks for showing me!!

[@genevieve9743]

i don't know if anyone commented this already but if anyone was wondering the play is called "all my sons" by arthur miller :)

[@dunkin254]

josh never talks!

[@JMEB__3]

thinking the same and i actually came to the comments to see if anyone else thought the same hahaha

[@ilyagutnik7640]

Yeah,we studied it in our english lessons(a second language obviously),for me it was like 3 years ago,I already knew the band but never wondered why they made such a name.I didn't really gave a fuck about All my sons,but the moment when they talked about 21 pilots I was just shocked

I remember listening Heathens as a kid. Song was odd, the mysic was just like nothing I have ever listened. And name of the band, twenty one pilots, was just as strange as the music but also cool

[@denca896]

What is dema

[@Bluspethouseandriding]

It's a band that makes extremely deep and wonderful sounding music. All of their music is about mental health. They covey these topics using stuff like a very complicated storyline. Or music conveying a deep topic with metaphors. I bet you have heard stressed out before, if you have not, you're either under 9 years old or were living under a rock in 2015. "Wish we could turn back time to the good old days when our mama's sang us to sleep, but now where stressed out" song lyrics to jot your memory. Sorry guys, I am just a cliquey that likes over explaining things, lol
