[gus562336]

i saw them on Ustream and they said they weren't playing that show in Feb 13 or something. they coulda been sarcastic but who knows. they said it over and over again..

[coltonfears]

@dancezachydance nah that would fuck up the song, why would he sing matts parts lol?

[Negi777]

This is the ONLY video of this happening.....at least until LD start touring again and Emarosa tours with them.

[klibbs]

way epic

[FreeYourMind02]

gives me chills.

[FrostieDragon]

I sport that shirt with pride! LD till death!

[nettielouwho]

lower deez nuts ;)

[Pieisonfire]

I love The Way Jonny Comes Out Bam!

at 0.12

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

0:30

wweeeeeennngggg

[mikeconrad98]

mesa dual rectifier, its a head. do yourself a favor and buy nice gear and never use a distortion pedal again.

[raidenelement]

how do u know they use a mesa dual rectifier?

[sevenyears26]

Nope its a JCM 2000 bro.

[tehwanton]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT DISTORTION PEDAL THE GUITARIST USES? it sounds so great on their record

[xJJx321]

lower d<3

[windsweptsupersheep]

beut

[cro0zfl3xd3x]

I wish they weren't on the verge of breakup, even though they say they aren't.

[xPullYourSwordsx]

they just broke up :(

[FreeYourMind02]

technically they didn't break up, their drummer and bassist quit so they're just trying to figure out what to do from here.

[MaskProduction]

well they got a drummer and bassist now

[coltonfears]

@MaskProduction drummer is in of mice and men. dont know bout the bass player, but i just dont understand why they broke up right before the sqaush the beef tour? i knw that tour would have got thier name out allot more

[DevineToler]

I assume they temporarily broke up because Tino left in the middle of that tour to be in OM&M and they didn't have anyone on drums to fill that void on that tour.

[K3vinJC]

and btw, to anyone comparing Matt and Jonny, sure, it seems like Jonny straight blows him away, but remember, Jonny's been singing live since he was like, 16, back when he was still in Ghost Runner On Third. Jonny's a performance veteran. It's not a matter of who's better, I mean they're both great, that's what makes this even greater. I mean stop arguing over who's better and pay attention to the big picture; there's so much awesome in front of your eyes, it should be illegal.

[zachsoulbrotha7]

Yeah that pisses me off how everybody thinks music is like a fucking competition. I wish people could just appreciate it for what it really is.

[coltonfears]

@K3vinJC you put that very well

[Gabee156]

man when Jonny comes out BOOM

[K3vinJC]

That 'boom' when Jonny comes in is like an instantaneous eargasm

[deweyyyy]

fo sho

[Dibsonburie]

LOL WORD <3

[natasharupp00]

FUCKIN AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG

[DevineToler]

too* damn*

just sayin'!

[andrewn721]

half the people didnt even know who jonny craig was cause it was just a bunch of kids who came cause 91x sponsored the concert. we saw him sneaking through the front door with his hoody haha so we started following him

[kfizzle441]

are you related to Stefan!?

[Jesusiluv]

soma is such a beautiful venue haha

[latias123123]

lower d is ridiculously amazing.

[gihaddd]

this was a sick show. the pit was epic too

[kthankz]

oh jonny <3

[l2enegadesofFunk]

Haha wow who thinks Matt Geise sounds like Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw and Head Automatica?

[jdbats]

hmmm... interesting comparison...

[Splintercell256]

Everyone thinks that. People have been saying this ever since LD came out

[l2enegadesofFunk]

Lol if everyone thought it why did someone disagree with me already? Clearly everyone doesn't think it.

[DevineToler]

well, not EVERYONE. lol.

but yeah, most people have been saying that.

& they've been saying it since Matt became their singer, not since low d came out! lol just messin, but yeahh :)

[ruben123]

yeh. people have been saying that since he joined the band like a few years back. but it would be kinda interesting to see how they would sound like now if jordan was still in their band

[Jesusiluv]

i think he sounds like when daryl palumbo meets rody walker (protest the hero) on some tracks.

[stoned4life]

jonny craig is a legend!

[grasscob]

Oh my goodness

I would wet myself too

He's such a bad ass

[xThEhXcKiDx]

The little girls screaming is ruining this video, but will never ruin their amazing singing abilities.

[omgxtylerx]

I was there at that show, it was weird seeing Johnny pop up because at first I didn't even realize it was him haha

[natebakeskate]

ridiculously amazing...

[Playitloudx]

Amazing!

[chaggy7]

matt and jonny's voice contrast so well in this song. both unique sounds. great song. Lower D is the shit.

[kaosssimon]

Jonnys stage presance makes me weak at the knees :)

x

[asgRYAN]

for a drug addict, Jonny Craig is a fantastic vocalist. he kills it in this video

[kaosssimon]

If i had the voice i would be his best friend haha we would be like twins

[GIANCARLOCORTES]

I was there.

[klibbs]

i agree with stelsewhere. johnny straight blows him out of the water here. its not that matts not good, its just that hes up there with the ultimate live performer.

[jdbats]

I'll be sure to mention it to Matt when I see him over the holidays (this week)...and see what he has to say...everyone can always improve and constructive criticism is a good thing...

[DevineToler]

I would say matt and jonny sing totally different, why is there a comparison even being made? jonny sings high and matt doesn't, thats not his style and its never been...

[jdbats]

Funny...Matt used those exact same words, when we talked about it, chillin at our parents' house on Christmas eve. He said it's difficult to be compared to the ultimate performer in Johnny...and Matt is also humble and classy enough to say that he also, as you do, believes that he does not sing as well as Johnny...but, again, Matt has his own style, which draws many fans to listen to him and the band...did what I said I would...haha!

[klibbs]

dude that just makes me respect matt more. over the holiday i bought the lower def cd and ive been listening to it nonstop. compared to the new emarosa cd which i grew tired of after two plays.

[jdbats]

I agree...it what makes us both who we are...he got music and I got professional sports, having played with some of the greats of the game, like Rickey Henderson...I have a lot of respect for my brother and what he has accomplished, still staying humble and a student of the industry...as I am with professional baseball...thanks for supporting them!!! It will come back to you...you watch...

[klibbs]

u play baseball? dude thats tight for real. where do u play?

[jdbats]

Now? Locally, for fun and I do quite a few lessons...I also make cameo appearances professionally here and there...like maybe in February in the Arizona Winter League...stuff like that...it's funny, before Matt gave up playing baseball, we used to workout together...MAN he had a cannon!!! I remember in little league, another team applauded when they took Matt out off the bump...cause he threw too hard...multi-talented guy...

[klibbs]

bahaha funny story. yeah i gave up baseball a little before high school. i was a good catcher tho. made the all star team one year....

[jdbats]

Good times man...and I've got PLENTY of stories in my bag of tricks...hahaha!!!

[kaosssimon]

yeah man well done (Y)

[stelsewhere86]

I don't understand why I don't like the way matt sounds live. There is just something about it. Lower D is probably the best band and most creative right now in that whole scene category of bands, but idk if i'd see them live.

[xCoryxEvansx]

they sound so much better live than what the videos portray. I've witnessed their live performance first hand and they were amazing. All of the members are sooo nice too!

[DevineToler]

I agree with this. Trust me, I've seen them play every show they've played here in SD for the past two years. I would know. haha.

[xCoryxEvansx]

Lucky! You get to see them more often then I do, plus its basically a hometown show for you when you see them. They really need to come to Buffalo, NY tho so I can see more of them. It was by far, the best show I have ever seen the last time i saw them

[Theodore781]

This is by far my favorite song by Lower D. Matt Giese is an incredible vocalist, as is Jonny Craig. Great vid!

[showbread1357]

dude haha i got fuckin wasted with these guys last night the drummer is the koolest fuckin guy on the planet only guy ive met that ever out drank me

[bigbrendon08]

the first time i saw jonny and lower d live was this part of the song in san antonio a while back.

best moment of my life....literally :D

[markowhisper]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG.

[xdanyell]

i loveee jonny. :]

[ibealoserbaby]

Next... to YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ibealoserbaby]

I was fucking THERE! Right next to the camera person.

[DevineToler]

next to me? hahah

[delmar3skate]

jonny's vocals sound just like the album

niiiiiice!!!

[Jormygor]

when do they not?

[mattjustleft]

Sometimes they sound better live lol

[ChrisAROX]

i was thurr

[CaseyOoOsosexy93]

SO FUCKING SICK!!!!!!!!!!

[jacobsiler]

Gold.

[loca91]

I WENT TO THIS SHOW IT WAS AWSOME

[HandBanana182]

i'd shit my pants if i saw jonny craig lol

[glassjaw044]

wtf is wrong with you?..lol.

you see someone who has a voice thats slightly enjoyable to listen to and you shit yourself?..he's just a normal ass guy, nobody special..haha

[HandBanana182]

sry i exaggerated lol i would still b reely happy to see him live

[m3GTR201]

Jonny Craig is not a normal ass, not special guy with an average voice..

[eclipsoul]

Not sure if you noticed or not but I did say an enjoyable voice..

[m3GTR201]

not sure if you noticed but you said 'somewhat' enjoyable.

[glassjaw044]

Haha yeah I did say enjoyable..a somewhat enjoyable voice is still an enjoyable voice..youre not makin much of a point.

Is it that if you jonny craig you should shit yourself?

[Jormygor]

the degree of enjoyability varies from person to person, no need to turn someone down just because they enjoy it more than you

[erichmacfarlane]

Lol, nvr turned anyone down..all I did was point out an exaggeration that was funny and homeskill got offended that I dont find Jonny Craig a god.

[glassjaw044]

sry, the "erichmacfarlane" comment was me..thats my friends account

[m3GTR201]

First of all, I never said I'd shit myself if I saw Jonny Craig..?

I don't know where you got that from.

Somewhat enjoyable is considered average to most people.

And, "Is that if you jonny craig you should shit yourself?", makes no sense at all.

[glassjaw044]

Hmm, 1st of all what I actually wrote was "Is it that if you jonny craig you should shit yourself?"..and its pretty obvious what I meant.."If you (see) jonny"..secondly, read the 1st comment I originally replied to before sounding like a tard..Still cant find your point in this conversation..What is it?

[Jormygor]

i cant find your point getting so butthurt because someone says they will shit themselves?

why do you even give a shit?

[glassjaw044]

I dont, I was pointing out the obvious exaggeration..fuck off, I wasnt talking to you anyways.

[Jormygor]

you dont need to be talking to me for me to address something you say

its fucking youtube, bitch

[glassjaw044]

Wow you try and get yourself in arguments on youtube for fun, you must be a badass yo!

Fuck off.

[Jormygor]

you started the argument.. -.-

[m3GTR201]

First of all, how am I a "tard" for disagreeing with you? And I didn't start this conversation, you replied after I posted one comment..

[glassjaw044]

the tardness came from you thinking I was adressing you in the first place..&ah yes so we agree, you did reply 1st with nothing to say so..bye.

[m3GTR201]

Tardness isn't a word.

I knew you weren't addressing me but I responded anyways with my opinion since you posted yours. Which, ironically, was to someone who wasn't talking to you and you had nothing to say.

So shut up and quit annoying everyone.

[glassjaw044]

Dude, I did respond with something to say and they obviously didnt care..and you continue to say nothing.

Wow you know tardness isnt a word, you must be mad smart yo!

"omg jonny is not an average guy! He's special!" get off his dick and fuck off.

[m3GTR201]

I am continuously stating my opinion.

And you are still getting offended.

Just because I think Jonny Craig is a great singer and I disagree with you saying he's only "somewhat enjoyable", doesn't mean i'm "on his dick" or trying to offend anyone.

Quit picking fights over the internet and get over yourself.

[glassjaw044]

k, im over myself..and im not offended at all..=) <---see?

I got it, you want jonny's babies and I dont..lol..im not commenting back anymore you win, now shh.

[m3GTR201]

You're such an idiot.

When did I ever say I was overly obsessed with him to the point where "i want his babies"?

I said I disagree that he is only "somewhat enjoyable." Stop trying to put words in my mouth.

[QueenFreak39]

Jonny did the same thing when i saw him in Tucson

fucking incredible voice

[sheilareynolds]

believe nothing you hear and half of what you see...

-buddha

[timothynam]

no matter how badly anyone would want to protect jonny, him being a bad person is inevitable. i heard he got punched in the face by ghost runner on third when will was picking him up for dance gavin dance tryouts. he got poured wine on him by dance gavin dance and now there's tension between him and emarosa. what more could a man do?

[Jormygor]

if you would have read correctly, he was punched in the back of the head.

when the hell did he get wine poured on him?

[timothynam]

back of the head or front of the face it doesn't matter.

i choose not to answer that.

[thebellendsFTW]

never happend

[jdbats]

This was a b*tchin evening! My little brother (Matt) is so flippin awesome!!! But, there was NO way I was goin up there in front to get this kind of footage...hahaha Thanks for sharing it!

[DevineToler]

its cause im gangsta like that! hahah jk. no problemo! :) awh you're matt's bro? he's an awesome guy :D

[jdbats]

Yah, I'm his older unmentionable brother...hahaha I got sports, professional baseball, and he got the music...damn glad he did too, cause he's awesome...

[metal0WN4G3]

no way dude your matts bro? matts a tight dude

[jdbats]

Hell yes I am Matt's brother...used to change that lil f*cker's diapers...and clean up his messes...hahahaha But, yes, you're right...he is an awesome guy...an even better brother...glad to see his success and to have fans/friends like yourself...keep it real!

[metal0WN4G3]

haha niice. will do d00d. my parents love him. they stayed here at my house in texas a couple times andf they want him back haha

[LiquidNuke]

We're talking about a man-child with delusions of grandeur here.

Anyone remotely close to him over the last few years as eventually come around to loathing him, whether for him mooching off them, lying or stealing their things to support his habits.

Taking advantage of his minor status to slip his wang into borderline pre-teenies on a constant basis doesn't much help his image either.

Oh, or bailing on his pregnant wife and telling her to kill herself.

Go Jon Jon, you decent dood' you.

[Jormygor]

i'm sure some of the things DGD has spit out is true, but you must be stupid if you believe every single thing they said in that blog.

and although I don't know to believe it or not, if you've read some of the shit on his myspace he says he will be there for his kid no matter what.

whether its a lie or not we'll have to wait and see, but saying that alone is a commitment in itself.

[StringofVulgarities]

Yes, he says to his FANS (that he tries so hard to impress) that he will be there for the kid. However, he has also said from the beginning that he wants a blood test to prove it's even his (oh right, like SHE'S the slut. I KNOW HER). And be there for it how? He's a bi-polar alcoholic asshole with no money.

It's not about me believing, it's about me knowing.

And that new DGD song, "People You Know," regardless of what they say, is about him. I guarantee it. It fits him too perfectly.

[StringofVulgarities]

Something else we can "wait and see" for, is how long it takes Emarosa to kick him out of the band. You may not be aware of this, but it's already happened at least once before. Hmm...déja vu? Bands hold on to him because they think that, despite the bullshit he puts them through, he will make them famous one day and it will be worth it. But it won't, and he won't.

I'm sure Jonny Craig will be dead or homeless within a year. Or maybe he'll get a deal singing in the subway for change. Who knows

[Jormygor]

he's been kicked out of emarosa?

i'm pretty sure thats happened but..

[robandbigblack]

idk if jonny has been kicked out before but i have heard people at shows that there have been "tensions" between jonny and emarosa. i doubt they will let him go since will sowers said himself that jonny's voice is what he has been looking for. even if jonny gets kicked out of the band, he has craig owens sucking his nuts away, already wanted to make an EP the second he heard jonny's voice and calling him his brother and all.

[jayemosh]

I'm sure there's like, a handful of people in the world that even know what's going on, who played the victim in the whole situation, and what it was even over.

People being the circle of friends they all hang out, and party with here in Lexington, so I think people need to stop judging whose issue it was, because chances are you don't know what's going on.

It's not even like super dramatic, it was over 1 thing and it's over, and has been over for like 6 months.

[gimmikhimself]

Best song on the album, best part of the song, holy shit, thanks for the upload, I can't believe I didn't go to this show, I'm going to kill myself now.

[DevineToler]

awh :( well theres always next timeee!

butttt it really was an amazing show. This Is The Hospital and LowerD tore it up for sureee.

[craigdavid00]

this sounds fuckin' good

[MissSageLaRae]

Hahahaaa me and my friend were the people wetting there pants over seeing jonny craig :)

and we met him<3

[Jormygor]

-.-

[StringofVulgarities]

It's best not to meet such a vile creature.

The only good thing about John Craig is his voice.

Trust me.
