Johnny out of DGD Again

Post-Hardcore outfit Dance Gavin Dance have kicked out their frontman Johnny Craig from the band. They released this statement about his departure and about recent history as well.
Dance Gavin Dance
When Jonny rejoined Dgd, we were about to call it quits. Tired of touring and being away from home for 8 months of the year, we wanted to shake things up. We thought it'd be fun to do a dbm sequel with Jonny and go out on that. We recorded dbm2 and felt it would be a disservice to our fans not to let them hear the new record live. We did a tour and felt rejuvenated but Jonny wasn't in a good place. After trying to convince him into getting help over warped tour, we canceled a headliner in November/December 2011 and told him we wouldn't tour until he sought out real help for his addiction. We got our good friend Matt Geise to fill in for a short run we did earlier this year while Jonny was in rehab. He was released and wanted to be out on the road immediately. We weren't sure how things would go so we only booked a small portion of the all stars tour to see if Jonny could still function as our lead singer. After a week and a half things were not going well. Everything came to a head when Jonny was publicly scolded by the owner of sumerian records for multiple offenses. It was then that we realized that our time with Jonny had reached its end. We wish Jonny the best In his future endeavors but he will no longer be a part of DGD. We however will continue playing and writing music because it's what we love doing.
It is unclear whether like before this is just a temporary kick out, or if Johnny is gone for good, as before DGD said he would be gone for good, yet he was allowed back in the band. Only time will tell.

hapiness was a great record. they should have kept on going that route with the singer from that record (kurt i guess? can't tell anymore who is or is not part of the band anymore).

I'm beginning to wonder whether their constant back and forth with JC is some sort of publicity stunt. I can't believe that they're so naive/desperate that they'd keep giving the guy so many chances
|
| |
jonny has more raw talent than any other available (or unavailable, for that matter) post hardcore vocalist by a mile. thats why they gave him multiple chances. but addiction wins the battle.
|
| |
fuck him. Also, this sounds permanent.

He's clearly ludicrously talented but he's not the only one who can sing like that

The band have gotten progressively worse since their debut, but you can't say that Jonny is a bad singer, he's just a bad person.

Don't listen to him or DGD so I don't care about his name. All I know is he's an annoying douche that doesn't deserve to stay in the industry.

He tried out, but nothing ever became of it.

they'll let him back in when things go dead for them.

This dude is a such an airbag.
|

I hope Tillian is joining, I nearly cried when he left Tides of Man. DGD is an awesome band, so i'm happy Johnny is finally out (for good hopefully). I've personally enjoyed everything they have put out. DBM2 wasn't that great, but it sure was far from bad.
|
| |
I'm definitely going to miss the vocals. Oh well, nice to know the band will continue to make music.

I've always thought these guys were okay, but I honestly don't think they'd be nearly as well known if it wasn't for Jonny's constant shit shows. Where that leaves them after this, I don't know.
|

it's jonny's world and we're just living in it.
|

Reminds me of fourteen year old girls on Facebook always changing their relationship statuses. To hell with this band and everything they've done. They'll be forgotten tomorrow because they've contributed nothing to the music industry.fuck the douchebags and the drug addicts.
" It is unclear whether like before this is just a temporary kick out, or if Johnny is gone for good, as before DGD said he would be gone for good, yet he was allowed back in the band."
Is that fucking English or what?
|
| |
Ha! I have always been saying how they should recruit Tillian. About fucking time. He will be an amazing fit.
|
| |
Wait, didn't Tillian tour as Emarosa's singer for a while or something? And there was talk of him joining Saosin? Man, this fucker's all over the place.
|
| |
Is there a band in the scene that hasn't had Tilian sing for them at some point? Regardless, he'll probably be a good fit, and hopefully bring a fresh sound to DGD.
|
| |
"Reminds me of fourteen year old girls on Facebook always changing their relationship statuses."
perfect analogy even though i really like dgd.
|
| |
The dogs really keep returning to their vomit, don't they? Ronnie Radke now Jonny Craig. Who will be next? ... This is really sad to witness.

It was only a matter of time. Me and a friend of mine were actually discussing Johnny and how inevitable is departure would be. Then again, the rest of DGD is like the foolish girlfriend going back to the abusive boyfriend.
|
| |
guy probably gets more guff than what he actually deserves. Wouldnt surprise me the band just messes with him for publicity
|

Kurt must be laughing his ass off.

DGD replied: "it is true my dude."
