Will writes pretty much all the guitars. He’s on all but one of their songs. Heck, we also named an entire genre after the guy. Swancore.

[@BendyDH]

Yeah, Swan has been hugely influential to the post hardcore music scene ever since DGD popped onto the music scene. He pretty much created this brand of music with the funky guitar riffs over heavy music. He now has his own festival named after him and I believe he has his own brand of guitar effects and stuff like that (I don’t pay much attention to those things because i’m not a musician so I’m not 100% sure)

It’s crazy how the “a voice like this doesn’t come around very often” applies to 2 of 3 of DGD’s lead singers - Tilian and Jonny Craig. And even though Kurt isn’t quite on that level for me, his voice is still incredible and was the perfect kind of tone/energy for the band in that era of their history. The fact that DGD haven’t missed with their lead vocalists is insane.

[@DBurnsTTV]

Watching him start improvising only to get completely thrown off by the breakdown has definitely been the best moment of this entire series so far.

[@nowherenewsman7542]

Tree City Sessions is actually their live albums, Tilian takes songs from the previous two vocalists and basically does them in his own style, however if you do plan on doing TCS I would listen to the previous vocalists songs first, for example Blue Dream which had vocalist Jonny Craig or even NASA with Kurt Travis. The previous two vocalists had very different styles to Tilian which is really interesting to compare and definitely a must if you’re going in depth on DGD.

[@spookytanooky]

Blue Dream and NASA are the perfect picks. They’re my go-to songs whenever I introduce people to DGD and tell them about their previous 2 singers.

I am again suggesting Hail the Sun. Their singer (who is also their drummer) was in a band with will swan, called Sianvar, which are also great. HTS dropped a single a few days ago which you should definitely check out!

[@SaintSumo_1]

To answer some of his questions, Will Swan is very involved in the writing process, having a whole genre of music created based off of his style. They don’t sound exactly the same live but they do sound great live with their touring guitarist Andrew Wells. Matt Mingus and Will Swan are also the only two members who have been with the band in it entirety. They have a bunch of videos in that cartoon style as well. I love this band due to their style being very meaningful but still fun. You can get an emotional response to the songs, but they are fun.

[@johnrizzo9901]

as a person teaching themselves vocals, tillian is like end game goals for me. his control is mind blowing, and while what hes doing isnt like super technical he still shows a mastery of it that astounds me. i hope to only be half the singer he is lmao

[@ramzreed]

Seen them live once and it was incredible. Each member went into their own solo multiple times. So much talent around the board. They even release instrumental albums of every LP just to showcase it.

[@steveselkirk3352]

Their live performance of "We Own the Night" is essentially studio quality, obviously there's gonna be other factors so not every live performance will be amazing but that's the one to listen to if you're trying to compare them when live to recorded.

[@Ollieisskaxxx]

"Do they sound this good live?" I remember Will swan saying once in an interview the music is soo technical that they can't 100% play everything correct live . That there is a bit of improvisation involved . I say fair enough to that !

[@iFlarexXx]

I love DGD, but that's such a terrible excuse. Their music is technical, no doubt, but much more technical stuff is played consistently true to the recorded version. EDIT:: That being said, they are still phenomenal live.

[@HahaLesbians]

@@iFlarexXx they stay about 90% true to album. The only thing that is consistently different is Tillians voice, which always starts perfectly but by the end of the set is obviously fried. Which is totally to be expected.

[@107thFruit]

I've seen them live several times, there is a ton of improvisation. It's actually amazing because it works so well. Will ends up changing some of the guitar parts, but you can still tell what each song it is. I'll also say that everyone including Andrew Wells usually performs extremely well, but due to the nature of so many of the songs having such sustained high notes for Tillian, you definitely want to catch him on a tour date where he's had a week off. If you go to see him live a day/ two days after he played another full show some songs aren't as great, but I cant really blame him. The last one I went to they got an encore that they actually responded to (every one I went to an encore was requested) and instead of playing their music they played cover songs which was actually really cool to hear them play as the only cover song we have that is on a label is the Bruno Mars cover on punk goes pop. One was Under Pressure by David Bowie/Queen.

[@carlactln09]

One of the literal best days of my life was when I met Will Swan at work. He's super cool and down to earth

I know that you'll want to save a lot of these for your channel reactions, but do yourself a favor at some point and react to the entire Mothership album. This was my first album by them, and it was so refreshing to hear new music by real musicians, that I think I've listened to that album 50 times. It's sooo good. Oh... and I'm in my 50s, so I'm not really the demographic they're shooting for. My son introduced me to them in 2016, and I'm so glad. Music has been boring and lifeless for quite some time, and then these guys came along with an invented genre. Simply and amazing band.

Young Robot has always been on of my go-to's by them. Honestly they have so many songs going back years and years, and they've been amazing. The more recent albums, however, hit more refined and more sugary, if that makes any sense. I would love to hear your reaction to a song with Jonmy Craig as the lead singer. He was problematic, but his vocals are so soulful and powerful, along with Tilian he's got such a unique voice, and he's one of my favorite vocalists.

[@k.camillehoagland2572]

I’d really love to hear your reaction to some of their older songs with former clean vocalists, especially after your comment about what Tilian adds to the band. I’ve been a DGD fan since I was 15 (nearly half my life!), so I feel like all their vocalists have a special place in my heart, but there’s definitely a #1 for me. I’m just really curious what your thoughts are. Some recommendations, in order from oldest to newest: - Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire (Jonny Craig) - Surprise! I’m from Cuba, Everyone has a Brain or Lemon Meringue Tie (Jonny Craig) - Alex English and/or Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most (Kurt Travis) - Need Money (Jon Mess is especially phenomenal on this one; Jonny Craig) or The Robot with Human Hair pt 2.5 (Jonny Craig) - Another one with Tilian that’s super fun is Summertime Gladness (VERY funky, has a bitchin’ sax solo) You might also want to look up DGD’s live albums, Tree City Sessions 1 & 2, on Spotify Also, Jon Mess, Will Swan, and Matt Mingus, as well as former DGD bassist, Eric Lodge, are in a band called Secret Band. I’d recommend the songs Moon and Stuck & Glued. All their songs are phenomenal, though. Also also, Tilian has his own project, also with Matt Mingus (just called Tilian). The song Heartfelt is so so so good. A bit dirty, a little funky, and just so good. It’ll make you want to dance, for sure. Cocky is also a good song. I love what you do! Please keep it up! I’ve moved far away from my old concert buddies to pursue my PhD, and the first reaction one of my colleagues had when my music automatically came on in my car was “wow you’re so angry!” And then they belittled my music taste for a bit. It was just DGD! Hardly “angry.” So anyway, now my music is something I keep very private, but it’s such an important part of my life. I feel like I’m sharing my faves with a friend when I watch your videos. It’s so cheesy but true!

[@MusicShed]

Blessings!!!

[@jaybebeats]

The band is shockingly close to their studio-sound when performing live. Really the only place they falter is the singers sometimes just can’t keep up the same breath control, but that’s super forgivable. Top notch band, super humble vibes and very talented musicians.

I feel like I'm giving away their secret but basically Tillian lays out the storyline and Jon comes in for misdirection. He's there to "throw the listeners off the scent" but sometimes it's not misdirection, just always keeps you guessing.

[@rufioftw08]

I've seen them 4 times. Tillian is about 50/50 on performance. Sometimes he is ON and others, his voice is tapped out. They have a rigorous, pretty much nonstop touring schedule (pre-covid, of course) and Tillian's voice noticeably takes a beating. I would say if your city is close to the start of the tour, he's going to be well rested. 2nd half...mixed bag. I live in Southern California though so they either start here or end here.

David’s Question: “do these guys sound good live?” HELL YEAH! Shockingly, Jon’s unclean vocals are just as superb live as they are in the studio. 😄 I’m proud to speak so highly of this band as a fellow Sacramento resident just like DGD IS! #DanceGavinDance #SacramentoProud
