Where do you start with Hollywood Undead?!?

[@ARC117Studios]

Bruh they went on to have a VERY successful career after Deuce.

[@BobTheAnimeDude]

They would have been just as successful with deuce, if not more successful. Deuce was the far more talented singer, danny really only has one tone, deuce could rap, scream, belt ballads, etc etc. He was so much more talented than people give him credit for.

[@ARC117Studios]

@BobPlayzGamezYes They absolutely wouldn't have been, do you know why? Because he fucked off and abandoned the band. He loves to claim they "kicked him out", yet why is it the dude couldn't even show up to shows? There are literally concerts in 2009 where Charlie had to cover for Deuce during choruses because dumb fuck couldn't be bothered to show. Ever notice how Hollywood Undead never really spoke much about what happened with him, yet Deuce never shut up? His "vocals" were awful. His "rapping" was awful. I'll give him some credit, sure, but he's nowhere near the vocalist that Danny is. I think he was a great writer at times, but the dude was a child. The only shit he could write about was partying, and what a "badass" he was. Look at 9lives for fuck's sake. Dude bitched about HU, stole their tracks, and either sang about partying or his self-obsession. How did that band/career turn out? It didn't. Now he's couch-hopping and asking fans for money at random. He's pathetic. He was never a front man, a team player, or a friend. Listen to some of his live vocals, he literally cannot sing, he relied on the band and back tracks for almost every chorus. HU would not have had a successful career with him because he was set to fail every time because of who he is. That's just the truth.

[@samuraijack3187]

I really don't understand why everyone acts like Deuce was some crazy godly irreplaceable part of the band. He was there for ONE album. It's not like other bands that had one guy for a decade before losing him.

[@crxgiles]

Its kind of strange. Deuce's songwriting really kinda sucks because its rare that the things he say make any narrative sense and its usually not very clever, but he just has a *feeling* about him. He sounds very good no matter what he sings on, which he says himself, and theres just something about him that -isnt- replaceable. However, its obvious that Danny fits with the band dynamic much better and god knows I love most of the music hes contributed to with them. Hes a really talented singer. I think perhaps peoples preference to Deuce is that he sounds raw and gritty, where Danny sounds very pop and polished. Almost kind of like hes out of place amongst the others. The vibe I get is that they brought a music graduate into a group of street kids and tried to make him fit in 😂 Thats probably not even the case, Like I say, love Danny's singing and most of their albums are bangers. Just some things ive thought from time to time and putting 2 and 2 together with peoples complaints about the lead singers.

[@BobTheAnimeDude]

I agree with most of what you said, but deuce could definitely write some deep songs when he wanted to. Pain and black dahlia were depressing as shit. @@crxgiles

Notes From the Underground (and the Deluxe Edition of it) is SUCH a good album - one of my all time favourites. Every song on it is a BOP. I only hope that they release a few songs that are similar to the ones on that album. "Up in Smoke" and "Pigskin" are so catchy

[@JEST3R_]

Kurlzz didn't attribute to the band as much as you give him credit for and JDog has picked up that sound really well in his absence. And to the fact the new album Hotel Kalifornia is one of the best ones that's what I'd personally go for as a first album. Swan Songs is also a good first one

Find myself constantly going back to the new album, they've got ~5M monthly listeners on Spotify, and still tour w big bands like Papa Roach / Falling in Reverse. Saw them live last summer and it was some of the most fun I've had at a show. Long live the Undead Army 🕊💣

As an avid HU fan I gotta say it wasn't really a detriment for the switch from deuce to Danny, It overall felt more like an evolution and Danny's voice felt more appropriate in the songs that involved more emotion while deuce felt better in the frat boy music area. I love looking at songs like We Are, Nightmare, and New Day as prime examples with the climax of New Day being by far the best example which a lot of people miss out on for being an iTunes exclusive.

[@Kinarta.]

HU is super successful, even without shady Jeff, deuce, or da kurlzz. Danny is a good replacement for deuce and has been a large part of the vocals since. Shady Jeff (imo) didnt contribute well to the group. And Da Kurlzz left for his own reasons and they have their own way of adapting to his departure and formed it well. They were never destined to fail and have succeeded since
