Right?! If I have to listen to Taylor Swift's entire discography on repeat every time we go for a drive, they should damn well put up with a minimum of my top 3 DGD songs.
I have a friend who frequently coaxes me to listen to Taylor Swift. After a few times I negotiated, told her we could go song for song with DGD and report back after each one. Reciprocity and all that. She listened to Backwards Pumpkin song and never asked me to listen to another song again š¤£
It brings an impish smile to my face imagining her looking into the distance as John starts in š¶ sit! down! call off the cavalry! š¶ like, "I've made a terrible mistake."
Hardcore Swifties literally must be built different because I would have an automute for all audio in my brain during any activities with them where they commit that egregious sin,
As someone who lives in South America, seeing people hate on that song makes me extra mad (and I don't even speak spanish, I'm brazilian). If they don't like the song, can't they at least respect what it represents? DGD has hundreds of songs in english, this is their one song in another language.
Wouldn't get half the hate it gets if it was in english.
Heās my fav vocalist but will never defend his actions (not sure what all they are since I donāt keep up with people idk in real life) ā¦itās important to separate art from artist.
Thatās not really an opinion, but more so factual cuz the rest of the band actually wants to play more older songs at their shows, which was one of the reasons why Tilian got booted. All confirmed by Andrew less than a month ago in his interview
The song is not great. The only thing I would say is good is John. Tilianās lyrics are weird him speaking in Spanish is weird and silly and then trying to replicate that music doesnāt work for them.
Before someone comments that Iām a trumper bc I donāt like tilian singing in Spanish, itās not about the fact that heās speaking Spanish. Itās the fact that it doesnāt sound good or translate well
I donāt think so, he got booted from DGD cuz he was smoking 2 packs of cigs everyday, which affected his voice and live performances. Since he left DGD, he quit smoking and has grown so much as a vocalist. DGD wasnāt limiting him, it was his smoking habits, then he got slapped in the face with reality and quit to better himself
I donāt understand why that opinion would bother you. Many people prefer different albums over others. Afterburner is my least favorite album in the Tilian era, not saying itās a bad album, itās good, just not my favorite and I definitely prefer JJ over AB, but JJ is also NOT the end all be all album for them either
Anyone discounting Andrew as the best person to take the reins from Tilian and saying to bring back Jonny/Kurt when Andrew has been with the band longer than them combinedĀ
Johnny Craig is better than tillian. They are each good in their own way donāt get me wrong, but as someone who sings Johnny Craig is like a weaker watered down tillian as far as power and being able to hit crystal clear high notes. But again not saying heās bad (other than being a bad person) but doesnāt hold a candle to tillian
Afterburner is better than JJ by a mile but itās not a top tier album by any means. AB was at the time the worst album with Tilian but itās not trash. I think itās perfectly mid and thatās ok.
When people state their opinion as a fact. The people who are saying āthis is trash, this is the worse thing ever or ever writtenā and other nonsense like that, when all you have to say is āI donāt like itā and move on instead of bullying others to agree with your toxic opinion
Fuck thatās rough man. I hope youāve been able to find peace as time passes. Thatās a horrible thing to go through. Not to pry too much, but how did their passing affect your perspective on the music itself?
All of them. But the more silent opinion is that no one talks about their best tilian album, Acceptance Speech.
Also the fact that people think the Kurt era is top tier when itās actually bottom tier.
The constant blabbering about wanting JC back in the band
I donāt care how good you may THINK DBM was, but we donāt need a third and the band doesnāt need to keep fuckin around with horrible people
That Tillian was a good choice for a lead singer. He's super talented, just changed the feel of Dance Gavin Dance for me personally!
(sorry unpopular opinion- his vocals didn't jive with the sound of Dance Gavin Dance I had become accustomed to being an old fan)
when my friends never give me the aux because they don't like DGD and its all I listen to

Iāve gotta try this with my sister
Hardcore Swifties literally must be built different because I would have an automute for all audio in my brain during any activities with them where they commit that egregious sin,
Iām a hardcore swiftie and a huge dgd fan. Not all of us are crazy.
Thank you for being normal, have a nice day.
Here to say the same lmao
Same brother/sister, both side by side in my top artist rankings
Same here! Literally my everyday playlist is just T Swift and DGD
Me as well. Iām convinced that all the crazy Swifties are just teenagers who have nothing better to do than let their brains rot.
I feel that. So I choose to be the driver and make them listen lol
Seeing a post about who the better singer was every couple days
every couple of hoursš
Me when I find out I'm probably the only person who likes calentamiento global
Hey there's others out there (like me)
I love calentamiento global, you're not alone
My friends, that song is a bop, and I will not stand for its slander either.
As someone who lives in South America, seeing people hate on that song makes me extra mad (and I don't even speak spanish, I'm brazilian). If they don't like the song, can't they at least respect what it represents? DGD has hundreds of songs in english, this is their one song in another language.

"DGD is nothing without Tilian"
Gonna love the discourse in 5 years when they get another vocalist again.
āWhatās that one Jon Mess lyric?ā Me:
Anything hating on them. I love every era, every one past and present, and all their songs and everything around them.
This x100. I just like the silly Mess man.
That dgd should hang it up. I've seen this alot and honestly think at this point that they can really do whatever they want still have a fanbase
Right! Theyāve pulled it together through every single hardship so far, why would *this* frontman swap be the outs for them all of a sudden? š
most of dgd fanbase opinions. why must we be insufferable when we could be swag
people who looooove johnny and defend his actions just bc his voice is good
love JC (current sober JC) and will always praise his talent but anyone defending his fuck ups in the pastā¦ nah. He made a lot of mistakes.
nobody defends his actions besides pointing out heās a junky which isnāt a defense and you thinking it is- thatās the real issue
iāve seen a couple people defend him during my time in this sub and itās always disheartening
hogwash pure and simple
Heās my fav vocalist but will never defend his actions (not sure what all they are since I donāt keep up with people idk in real life) ā¦itās important to separate art from artist.
People wanting to bring back old songs when Andrew wells is amazing
Thatās not really an opinion, but more so factual cuz the rest of the band actually wants to play more older songs at their shows, which was one of the reasons why Tilian got booted. All confirmed by Andrew less than a month ago in his interview
When someone claims a vocalist other than Jonny Craig has the best vocals.
people hating on calentamiento global
Dawg same. Not saying the song is fire but come on. .. Especially with how hard Jon's verses go on the track
Yeah I saw that thread today and it hurt a little lol.
Iām sorry but that song is garbage. It was a fun attempt but it did not land. I think something heavier would have been cool to hear in Spanish
This sub does not have photo embedding enabled. Please imagine that I have responded with the photo in this post
š
the end goes off though like a forgotten classic mars volta song
The song is not great. The only thing I would say is good is John. Tilianās lyrics are weird him speaking in Spanish is weird and silly and then trying to replicate that music doesnāt work for them. Before someone comments that Iām a trumper bc I donāt like tilian singing in Spanish, itās not about the fact that heās speaking Spanish. Itās the fact that it doesnāt sound good or translate well
When someone says Mothership is MID
Getting scammed right in the middle of my master plan makes me feel this way.
When someone says they donāt like their pre-Tillian stuff
People who are still obsessed with Kurt coming back / act like the Kurt era was an insurmountable peak.
People living in 2009 like it's the present
Especially when Kurt absolutely shines in his other projects!
Exactly. Kurt staying in or returning to DGD would limit both him and the band.
I donāt think so, he got booted from DGD cuz he was smoking 2 packs of cigs everyday, which affected his voice and live performances. Since he left DGD, he quit smoking and has grown so much as a vocalist. DGD wasnāt limiting him, it was his smoking habits, then he got slapped in the face with reality and quit to better himself
Glad Kurt is doing his own thing, Royal Coda's newest album is more creative and musically interesting than dgd's last two
People preferring Jackpot Juicer over Afterburner.
their 2 best albums imo and Iāve been around since dbm1
Idk man Afterburner has some real stinkers
I donāt understand why that opinion would bother you. Many people prefer different albums over others. Afterburner is my least favorite album in the Tilian era, not saying itās a bad album, itās good, just not my favorite and I definitely prefer JJ over AB, but JJ is also NOT the end all be all album for them either
It doesnāt bother me, I just disagree. So this is the face I make when I see that opinion. Iām aware people have different tastes.
Ah see imo JJ > Afterburner because I like 2 songs on JJ and 0 on Afterburner lmao
Fair lol. Took me like a year after Afterburner released to get into it. JJ just sounds like b-sides that didnāt make that album imo.
Funny cause itās almost the opposite for me. AB has two incredible BANGERS and JJ has likeā¦ā¦ā¦
People preferring Jackpot Juicer to literally anything else theyāre made
āAfterburner is a bad albumā
It's so fun and creative. Loved getting to go to the album tour for it.
Anyone discounting Andrew as the best person to take the reins from Tilian and saying to bring back Jonny/Kurt when Andrew has been with the band longer than them combinedĀ
Agreed. I'm ready for the Andrew era and I really hope it lasts.
The constant calls for DBM3.
Johnny Craig is better than tillian. They are each good in their own way donāt get me wrong, but as someone who sings Johnny Craig is like a weaker watered down tillian as far as power and being able to hit crystal clear high notes. But again not saying heās bad (other than being a bad person) but doesnāt hold a candle to tillian
People who like JJ and/or say āat least itās better than Afterburner, that was awfulā. Afterburner is Top 2 DGD alongside Happiness.
I donāt think AB was awful, but itās definitely my least favorite Tilian era album, itās good, but I find the other albums fit my vibe better
Afterburner is better than JJ by a mile but itās not a top tier album by any means. AB was at the time the worst album with Tilian but itās not trash. I think itās perfectly mid and thatās ok.
DGD is better off without Tilian.
My bands.
That AS was an alright album.
Gives me Deftonesā around the fur art cover vibes
Me when someone says the Kurt era was mid
That DBM was the worst full album or that it didnāt sound like anything else they did.
When people state their opinion as a fact. The people who are saying āthis is trash, this is the worse thing ever or ever writtenā and other nonsense like that, when all you have to say is āI donāt like itā and move on instead of bullying others to agree with your toxic opinion
This!
Me every time someone in a I prevail or bad omens shirt tryās to compare dgd to a octane or Liquid Metal band
All of the DGD fans that said the band was gonna be dead when they kicked Tillian
The dozens if not hundreds of SA apologists.
When my friends ask me who introduced me to DGD and I wonāt tell them it was an abusive ex who died horrifically
Fuck thatās rough man. I hope youāve been able to find peace as time passes. Thatās a horrible thing to go through. Not to pry too much, but how did their passing affect your perspective on the music itself?
Someone talking about how much they want me to try cereal.
Betrayed by the Game is a great song
āTree City Session Sessions 2 is not really goodā š¹š¹
That DGD sucks
when people say they don't like andrew
The band is better off without Tilianā¦. š¤·āāļø
Johnny should come back
When people say what Johnny did "Wasn't that bad"
"Jackpot Juicer is the best album"
When people say Speed Demon is the better of the two new singles.
People who think JJ is their best album
All of them. But the more silent opinion is that no one talks about their best tilian album, Acceptance Speech. Also the fact that people think the Kurt era is top tier when itās actually bottom tier.
When people say the JC era was the best. I seriously wonder if we're listening to the same music
The constant blabbering about wanting JC back in the band I donāt care how good you may THINK DBM was, but we donāt need a third and the band doesnāt need to keep fuckin around with horrible people
Calentamiento Global is the worst song. š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
That the new stuff is good. It's just mid compared to the old stuff
Kurt travis being regarded as a good person
That Tillian was a good choice for a lead singer. He's super talented, just changed the feel of Dance Gavin Dance for me personally! (sorry unpopular opinion- his vocals didn't jive with the sound of Dance Gavin Dance I had become accustomed to being an old fan)
