Music Teacher REACTS TO Dance Gavin Dance "We Own The Night" (Live) | MUSIC SHED EP 133

[@torinthe]

David, here's the deal... if you want more of them live, and to hear ALL FOUR HISTORICAL VOCALISTS then the option exists. "uneasy hearts weight the most" live was a reunion type scenario where they all sang together... Grab the 296% DGD experience in that single live show track!!

[@MondayApocalypse]

He'll yeah legendary moment. Saw them twice during that tour

[@joaquintomorrowwefall8856]

Yes, THIS.

[@Baz1cTricks]

Came here for this!!! Need to see this reaction!

[@JoshBrown190]

YES! that concert is so iconic!

[@astridchaote]

I loved that performance too 😍

[@yuyuhacksaw1661]

Does DGD need you playing keys? No. Would I love to see you slamming the keys with them live? Yes. I’d pay 💰

[@MusicShed]

I would love that

[@yuyuhacksaw1661]

@@MusicShed i could die happy if you made a video explaining how you’d add keys to a DGD song

[@izzyisnormal]

tilian was actually sick for a majority of this tour. you can hear the stress on his voice with this one. amazing that he still sounds good

[@caseydykes117]

The fact you acknowledge how the slight flatness/scratchy vocals due to on the on the road, touring vocal strain- I absolutely commend the respect and understanding you have and that that did not effect your opinion of the overall performance. Plus he honestly, well he and Jon, still smashed it.

[@Revelationvaliant]

With Tim’s passing hearing you speaking of bass playing it really hit hard. Your right Tim we do appreciate you and you were and will always be phenomenal. Rock on.

[@MusicShed]

Amen

[@waxilliamladrian]

I feel like you're the only musician I ever see reacting to DGD but while I appreciate how non-musical people interpret it, I would say that it's an entirely different experience when you're a musician and can kind of pick out the techniques and details. Love watching your take on them, David! (Also the Cheers theme is timeless, I think it transcends the show)

[@luckycharm1oak]

@ 6:25 he talks about Tim and his bass playing.💞 We miss you Tim❤

[@jayceg.9180]

3:55 when he hears Jon Mess and he just grins like a madman made my day.

[@Nimbus3000]

You could try Coheed and Cambria, they have a pretty unique sound.

[@Hyp3rr3al]

Finally someone requested it

[@adhdraidsagain]

Yes, yes, YES.

[@blueblack8076]

Coheed sounds like rush

[@michaelzamora8056]

One of my favorite bands of all time

[@kellenknipp955]

YES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY DO COHHEEEEEEEEED

[@MrGir13]

Always love these DGD reactions man! Probably one of my favorite bands, top 5 easily! Keep it going man!

[@ritzvandicklez6441]

Okay a good Johnny song to react to is def “Blue Dream” and a good Kurt song would be “Powder to the People” the drums will blow your mind off!! Love the reaction, keep the DGD comin!!! ❤️

[@LswKid]

It's Matt's best drum performance for sure. The ending to that song is freaking hard to play on drums

[@alexv0714]

Jonny* Craig and I'd recommend something from DBM1 like Lemon Meringue Tie or Times New Roman as he was much more vocally... capable then D: As for Kurt, literally anything. Dude slays, hope David checks out Royal Coda or A Lot Like Birds someday

[@BiscuitsAintShi]

Blue dream a classic Jonny Craig song

[@danielleharrington2311]

Will always appreciate Tim :( he will always be remembered for his kindness and musicianship #feerickforever

[@TheBlackfishTully]

Love the continued DGD vids, don't know if you discovered Bilmuiri yet but definitely worth a look. He was on a track on DGD's last album also a former member of Attack Attack.

[@YY-do9eu]

"They're musical ninjas" THANK YOU, YES THEY ARE!! Going to use this quote whenever friends ask why I love DGD so much haha

[@SynysterEskimo]

I’m glad I recommended this along with other people! I knew you would like it! They are all so musically talented, and I love Tilian!

[@ZachAtticus611]

I LITERALLY SHOUTED YES when this popped up on the top of my feed!

[@ZachAtticus611]

Also, YOUNG ROBOT would be a good one to review!

[@ruvicell]

@2:49 it's Warped Tour (RIP) that video is from the show in California in the FairPlex, I was there baby, I still remember like it was yesterday, good times :')

[@asapvarg]

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, THANK YOU DAVID!

[@Count_Jacula]

Jon literally sounds exactly the same live as he does on the album which is crazy how much he has come on since the earlier days of DGD

[@Gr4nt]

DGD's traveling guitarist Andrew Wells has his own band that hes the front-man of called Eidola. Andrew is considered an integral part of DGD and his band just got signed to Rise Records! They released a new single yesterday called Counterfeit Shrines - Eidola. If you like the sound of DGD, you'll love Eidola even more. They deserve so much more recognition than they receive.

[@MoisesCornejoxo]

I wanna say thank you for putting me onto this band. Learned about them through your comment

[@cahsahhhhhhhn]

Having Andrew as a permanent member now is a blessing. I can only describe it as opulent. He's just one more level of depth to their sound and an excellent frontman and vocalist in his own right. He really shines on War Machine and Ghost of Billy Royalton and I can't wait to hear more on the new album when it drops. I didn't ever consider DGD needing a second lead vocalist but now it wouldn't sound right without him, though I hope it doesn't cut into his time with Eidola, because they are really coming into their own, especially with Sergio on guitar.

Forever watch your reaction {FANS from Thailand 🇹🇭 :) }

[@EmoGothKevin]

Yes, they are musical ninjas. Absolutely incredible musicians all around.

[@joelmcada8250]

Watching your genuinely appreciative analyses of screamy music from “the scene” coming from a perspective of not being actively immersed in the post-hardcore scene is seriously such a joy. I love seeing a fellow music nerd not only analyze but actually love these weird sounds that are off-putting to so many other people. All your vids are great but I subbed for the killer DGD reactions!

[@opalite_]

When he opens up with the cheers opening I HAD TO LOOK BACK AT MY SCREEN TO MAKE SURE I WASNT JUST HEARING THINGS... THANK YOU THAT MADE MY DAY I LOVE CHEERS

[@glenswank8179]

They are fucking amazing live! Hands down can't miss show!

[@kalahensley4373]

Tillian’s my boy. You should review some more of his solo stuff! His 2015 song “True,” omg.. *chef’s kiss* I swear I’m going to play that song at my wedding, whenever that happens lmao

[@tdawson572]

i did play it at my wedding back in 2018, when i danced with my wife

[@chrisklema9992]

Nice to see you reacting to this. I love it.

[@billywilliams2438]

Love your vids man. You are also an extremely talented musician. Also DGD tickles my insides.

[@harisarifin3051]

Just an idea, how about reacting to both Jonny and Tilian version of DGD's Blue Dream in one video? TIlian's version of Blue Dream in Tree City Session is pretty underrated imo. Also you can hear how Jon's vocal has improved so much

[@youngdrowsy_]

I second this idea

[@cassandraewbank7009]

The other guitarist in this video is a guy named Andrew Wells. He plays live with them, and is featured in two of their songs. You should either check out one of those songs (Evaporate or Nothing Shameful), or check out his band, Eidola.

[@justinweinberger4476]

I agree. “Counterfeit shrines” by eidola just came out recently, you should check that out!

[@matheusemmanuel5815]

and in the backgrounds of The Rattler (2:46)

[@denyeazadini]

Those bounce castles are mountains, which are part of one of their album covers along with the infinity symbol on the curtain, jsyk. Love your videos by the way!

[@milesellis7860]

I'm only liking and subscribing cause of all the DGD love... Keep it up!

[@dvfcfighter]

Uneasy hearts weigh the most with Jonny, Kurt, and Tilian. You won't regret it.

[@edge4266]

came here just to comment this lmao

[@luckycharm1oak]

R.I.P. Tim Feerick.💚

[@El-ingobernable]

@8:25 "that guitar player" is Andrew Wells. He is the singer of Eidola (who is on Will Swan's label Blue Swan Records) He tours with them and is featured on their "Nothing Shameful" song. Check them out Eidola - "Tetelestai"

[@vapebomb27]

F%$# yes more Dance Gavin Dance please! You rock David. Your enthusiasm is what this world needs more of! Please Do "here come the winner" or "evaporate" by them. Tilian's range here is some of his best!

[@SqueakGod]

I love everytime you do DGD!

[@TheAdrianParade]

Every time I see DGD I click, I like, then I watch

[@kerst2377]

I do the same thing lol

[@MitchInBeanie]

Kinda bummed he used this live recording. I always felt Tilian seemed tired in this performance and has done it much better elsewhere.

[@MusicShed]

Ur probably right, but I get it

[@MitchInBeanie]

@@MusicShed I posted the comment before watching. I was happy to see that you mentioned the heat and the fact that his workload is so high. Seems you definitely appreciated the circumstances!

[@TheAdrianParade]

Also I feel like these warped tour vids never have good mixing

[@caseydykes117]

@@TheAdrianParade yeah I’m feeling like the bands normal team are shoved out of the way on the prod of these vids which is a real shame,

[@Timmy2by4]

@@TheAdrianParade I mean they have like 15-20 minutes to set up gear and can't do a proper sound check cause there's a second band playing right beside them so I wouldn't expect the mix to be perfect.

[@EverythingsComingUpWillhouse]

Love the video, great seeing an actual musician reacting - gives so muchore context and perspective! Would love to see a reaction to DGD with Tilian, Jonny and Kurt and like, analysing the differences with their individual styles.

[@neverenderdrummer]

You really need to review the uneasy hearts live version with all three singers

[@stormgillenwater2170]

Please do some While She Sleeps. I would say that they are definitely musical ninjas as well. I'd recommend Anti-Social, Silence Speaks Ft Oli Sykes, No Defeat For The Brave, or Know Your Worth (Somebody). Honestly, they are so good, it's hard to go wrong.

[@MikeyBeDrumming]

Anti-Social is an absolute banger.

[@Straightmerkin1]

it makes my damn week when I see a DGD song react from you on my feed

[@octocoq]

Immediately recognized the Cheers theme song and was impressed by how well you played it

[@ruminating1596]

I remember Saturday afternoons after the cartoons ended on channel 27 KDFI would show Cheers. It was either that, infomercials, or Golf.

[@jeffreymarshall172]

DGD is one of my top bands! Hearing you love on them makes me so happy! I want to reccomend Circa Survive and Underoath. Both will rock your world!

[@SuperKamiGmo]

Warped tour they were playing shows almost everyday for like weeks so they def have some skill to keep singing like that

[@fergar0206]

And in the middle of the summer through like the south and southwest. It was ridiculous. I miss it so so much.

[@sophieward7049]

Goosebumps after those vocals 😵

[@susandanger18]

Tim is my second favorite bassist, THANK YOU for giving him credit where credit is due ❤️

[@SmoofDizzle]

One of my favorite DGD songs :D Inspire the Liars is also one of my favs.

[@TacoBellBrandon]

Lol you started with the cheers theme and I was like woooaaahhhh

[@GCoWife]

You must know this by now… I frickin’ love DGD! Keep em coming! 😍

Cheers!! Also, I love the "Ew, David" sign! I love Schitts Creek!

[@armyofangels12]

Cheers! Man you’re on a roll listening to my favorite bands lately. You did Sleep Token and Dance Gavin Dance. Now you just gotta do, and say it with me David, Aviations-Outliers!

[@deadSalesman_GD]

The bouncy house thing is the famous Warped Tour Schedule. They have a huge inflatable structure with the stages listed along top and every single day they hang the schedule of bands from it. You mentioned Tilian having a hard job. Imagine doing what he does on a tour where the schedule is different every single day and sometimes you play first and sometimes you play last and sometimes you play in the middle.

[@kabz888]

This band keeps getting better. I waited too long to dive deep into their catalog because I was bugged by the name of the band haha. But now they are a favorite of mine.

[@rwtaka18]

Great video as usual!

[@kingvarien]

I highly implore you to check out a band called Alesana. They are one of the most unique sounding post-hardcore bands and their sound has only improved over the 10+ years they've been together. I would start with The Emptiness era, where they made a music video for their song The Thespian. They wrote a whole concept album trilogy with The Emptiness being based off of Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe

[@snarkytwoleg]

VOUCH!

[@tedderj12]

The emptiness is a masterpiece. Growing up a huge Poe fan I fell in love with that band after listening to the album.

[@Nimbus3000]

Personally prefer their first album, but they're worth a reaction. I don't know how deep into the post hardcore rabbit hole he'll go though, hah.

[@kingvarien]

@@tedderj12 I had been following them since On Frail Wings, but I loved The Emptiness and the story they told. I was obsessed with piecing together the narrative in each song

[@kingvarien]

@@Nimbus3000 I can't in good conscience recommend that he start with On Frail Wings. It's a good album, and I still listen to my favorite songs from the album, but they were still polishing and finding their sound. He should definitely go back and eventually give Ambrosia a listen to see how they've matured since then. OFW also didn't have Jeremy and Shane in the band at the time

[@thatoneadamkid24]

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got!

[@pandairl5076]

Honestly think you would have an amazing time reacting to Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most from their reunion it's so beautiful!

[@alfonsoalv6042]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT YOU FINALLY GOT AROUND TO THIS!!! I think you should absolutely give "Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most" sung by Kurt Travis who was the vocalist before Tillian. it is so good!! Going off the DGD rails, you should definitely give Dayseeker a listen. Very sick band and they're just super good! I'd give either Sleeptalk, Drunk, or Burial Plot a listen! Great video and cant wait for the next one!

[@bayernwolf]

As a bass player, nice to hear some appreciation! I agree though, I love Tim's sound. Loving the DGD content David.

[@Shiki_Fujinn]

More DGD! Love it

[@kellygourley7548]

As a Kelly, I heard of Cheers at a young age (even though it had aired before I was old enough to watch!) I didn’t expect that in the intro to the vid hahahahaha

[@MusicShed]

Me neither! It just happened

[@pukethedayaway366]

finally more DGD, so happy. would love to see you do the song "something new" or "eagle vs crow"

[@barelyshiftin]

Not once has this song failed to give me chills

[@Stevenwithrobothair]

It’s about time you revisited DGD! Been over 2 months and they have so many bangers. Nothing Shameful would be a great one to react to. Studio version or Tree City 2 🔥

[@safteytorch]

I want to see him react to Here Comes the Winner just for the reaction to the "moments together, sell them well"

[@natalieneumann8599]

god this is the greatest song of all time. i love watching ppls reaction to dgd. welcome to the cult that is dance gavin dance haha

[@bonk4688]

Yo get prepared bc DGD is making a new album at the moment 😩✨ Also can’t wait for the new vids! I’ve got more music to listen to bc of ur reaction vids 😂

[@Tterror510]

I'm from the SF bay area and just found out that Swan is from San Francisco and Mingus is from Antioch, I think that's cool! Also I remember I saw DGD perform live in 2009 during the Kurt Travis era and man, my regret was that I was not into them at the time like I am now. I remember they performed "Tree Village" and I wish I could watch it again with the perspective I have now.

[@AdmiralFerret]

Awesoomme, I've been hoping for this since you first did Dance Gavin Dance. I learned to appreciate the bass growing up listening to KoRn. I still listen to them, one of my favorite bands, but they emphasize the bass, you can't help but hear and appreciate it (might not be a bad idea for a Five By?)

Tim (Bassist) also has his own band called Wolf & Bear. I recommend Greyblood or Twisted Tongues. Tim has a more prominent sound in this band and he kills it.

Another great band to check out with amazing vocals is Protest the Hero. Blindfolds Aside or Sequoia Throne!!!

[@joshmathews1301]

Hail the sun! In some of their older videos you can see their singer drumming and singing at the same time. Its insane. Or any band with sergio medina (Royal Coda, Stolas, Sianvar, Nova Charisma), he brings ridiculous stage presence to the shows he plays.

[@kurizmuhOKC]

You're bringing such a wonderful new element to the table here. I hope, so much, that we get "They're musical ninjas!" Merch somehow.. ^____^ DGD is such an elaborate web... And like so many things in life, it's certainly a different journey for many of us! I think, on your personal listening time... You'd really, really enjoy the two "Tree City Session" albums. Then, possibly visit some of the tracks Tilian has performed in those recordings, but in their original studio version with the former vocalist! (i.e. Me and Zoloft Get Along Just Fine, or Blue Dream) Again, super grateful you're shining light on the AMAZING group they have here! Will and Matt should have a world class documentary about their legacy, and the influence they have and are having! Thanks so much and keep up the greatness!!

[@tylerveniegas1528]

Young robot and parallels by dgd are two songs I love so much and they have some pretty neat musicality in my opinion

[@softballfreak1123]

The live performance of “Tommy’s Song” that Grayscale did at TLA in Philly is an absolute must watch!

[@Kregelbagel]

This is one of my favorite songs by DGD. It was the first song I heard, and I was hooked when I heard Tilian and Jon's harmony. While I'm here, might I suggest Coheed and Cambria again! :D
