I can see the title already: “Jon Bellion creates an entire song while eating hot wings”

@@remuvs I expect that to the fullest honestly lmao

[@wubbalubbadubdub4991]

BROOOOO I SWEAR

[@edithjonsson3504]

I love how long time it takes for Jon to oppen the waterbottle just because he moves his hands so much :)

[@beccarenee7931]

10:39 him referring to All time low as "low low lo lo low" is honestly the best thing ever

[@beccarenee7931]

Luke Lowerson Yea i think a lot of musicians feel that way tho the most popular song is just the one that was the most catchy not the ones they put the most work into which is honestly really sad you’re right

[@michaelhoanshelt]

There's definitely something to be said about Jon Bellion and how he goes about doing interviews. It's always fun hearing his perspective!

[@eberger75]

Michael Hoanshelt He says everything with a purpose. He knows his vision and purpose in life and it’s easy to see that.

[@LunchTimeYT]

I could listen to this man talk for hours

[@ahduum]

This guys love for music is incredible. Jon Bellion is a genius.

[@maliaashley5065]

So nice to see his genuineness again in an interview. He’s so down to earth.

[@LoganB113]

14 minutes of Jon "humbly flexing" why he is great is awesome to hear. Undeniable talent.

[@neurotic3015]

Elizabeth Rose I read that in a very aggressive tone which made it much more entertaining.

[@JsquareProductions]

Ive followed every video of Jon Bellion online. So goooood watching him do a radio interview again

[@JDMRyo]

I’ve never noticed how anxious he is during interviews. Everyone jokes how he plays with the water bottle but I think that says a lot more about how he’s feeling than the rest of the interview. It super interesting considering he rarely does interviews yet he can talk this cohesively whilst clearly not being 100% comfortable with the situation.

[@thatdeliveryguy8975]

His life is so good envy cannot describe it 😫

[@saadtyagi5695]

He is indeed the most underrated artist. But what a talented one.

[@vialinsey1257]

HOLY SHIT HOW DID I MISS THIS VIDEO

[@rice_frying_shrimp]

Uh, okay, did he just randomly drop some information that Millie Bobby Brown is about to make her own music?! Also, he handled the context of them having talked so much better than Drake, even though it literally started the same exact way...

[@joebieker]

Middle of Nebraska huh. Next time I'll keep an eye out my friend.

[@bobblyrob1]

I love jon and i know why he hates interviews its because hes a big introvert and it takes so much energy from him , you can tell hed so rather be in the stew or just chilling than that interview

[@lassi372]

His cap is cool.

[@DakshSharma-dt5xf]

do you know where he got it from? or what brand

[@JDiiiablo]

GTFA got me IMMEDIATELY. The first listen was an instant hit for me

[@beyonceknowlescarter9576]

Same😭 best feeling

[@morinthecreator]

Am I the only one who got so anxious to know is he finally drink his water or not??? He tried so many times to turn it open and turn it close and put it up and put it down, I was like, DRINK THE GOD DAMN WATER JON!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mkmarak]

7:15 Lawrence the band really is incredible

[@j.k.concerts4400]

Why people always randomly mentioning Albuquerque?

[@PtylerBeats]

2:16 Is this a joke? There’s definitely a dynamic here that I’m not picking up on, and I can’t tell if this is a joke or if he actually doesn’t know where he is 😂

[@CottonCandyCuties]

Ptyler Beats ...at 9:05 Jon says LA, so they were joking. I was confused till later in the video. 💜

[@juandavis1456]

JUST DRINK THE GODDAMN WATER JON!!!! YOU'RE MAKING ME THIRSTY JUST WATCHING YOU STRIVING TO OPEN THE FREAKING BOTTLE!

[@jonathandavis873]

5:47 I'm pretty sure the whole song is in 4/4. Still love "Good Things Fall Apart" though. I'm a drummer, had to make the comment

[@aditya007rockstar]

The whole song is in 4/4. It’s just that on the four they have played a bit somewhere

[@kyleresta4702]

There is a measure missing on the end of the first verse, maybe that’s what he meant but just used different words

[@kirstylouise4442]

He wasn’t a feature in the song! It was equally joint

[@amyandsteveo]

The 6 people who disliked this video....SMH

May be because of his cap.

[@this9103]

no no he’s basically talking about bang wagon fans that only know all time low and and don’t want him to make anything that sounds different from it.. so like GSP’s sound was very different and got negative feedback because it was different from his funky drums... and apparently Susie doesn’t know any influential music producers like j dilla, Paul Simon (all of Jon’s inspirations)

[@this9103]

no no so they’re basically fake fans lmao

Is anyone noticing how thirsty he is. He has been fiddling with the water bottle. When he finally opened it I thought he was at least going to drink some but he closed it back.😭
