This is the official RU-vid channel for iHateTheScene.com Loving and Hating the bands in the underground music scene Deathcore, Prog, Metal, Post-Hardcore Our channel primarily features Band Interviews, Live Footage, behind the scenes, and reviews.
Jonny has to be one of the most polarizing people in the world of emo music. He's a hard person to understand and the most I can hope is that he, his wife, and kid live a healthy, happy, and lovely life.
in 2012 i went to the dbmII release tour with my gf caitlin. we both loved jonnys voice and all his music, she was so nervous to get a picture with him when we met him outside the venue. he was so polite and patient with her anxiety, and we had a great time meeting jonny. a coupke months later, she passed away. every time i hear jonnys voice i still hear caitlin as she sang to his songs when we were together. thank you jonny for the happy memory.
he just said what ive been saying for over 10 years now i love chris era emarosa, but it was straight up a christian band rip off, so was agraceful, and chris just gave up on this and joined LMTF, suddenly pretending to be christian wasnt trendy anymore, even underoath dropped that lable, craig mabbit is singing about drugs and butts these days, all of them went from the same "experience" of losing faith in christianity
I've said it since I've known him and I'll still say it today, other chris sucks. he was a good vocalist, but like you said he rode the christian metalcore wave. if you saw how he interacted with the dudes in emarosa and myself included, you'd see how big of a diva he is. fucker used an annoying amount of my lyrics on "this is your way out"
haha I may have been the shittiest vocalist the band had but I'll never be the one Jonny shit on in this interview. Jonny was always Cool towards me, so I'll always be a fan of his.
I think its safe to say she digs the backseat was some dudes girlfriend. Recently seen a comment about some guy who kinda hates jonny and went into a story about how his buddies girl went to one of their shows and got jonny drugs and fucked him, him and his buddy didn't go because they already didn't care for jonny craig. Supposedly later found out from someone else. Any evidence to the story? Nope. Does it add to the details of the song? You bet
After hearing Zac’s opinion on every other band they toured with, I’d say it’s fitting. Strawberry Girls is cool but Zac was a band elitist shit talker who couldn’t keep quiet even after the band and management warned him. You can’t shit talk the other bands on your tour to the fans. It’s a real bad look.
IHATETHESCENE BAHAHAHAHAHA🤣 And if he told you Unicorns are real you’d probably believe him. I grew up with a dad and mom who did drugs ect my dad still does so I can see right past this coward, loser, user, druggie, fake, womanizer so called human being. And plus this interview was three years ago he was a piece of shit then and even more of a piece of shit now. PEOPLE WHO WOULD DEFEND SOMEONE WHO STEALS LIES AND USES WOMAN would believe anything and anyone. Emarosa better without him! DGD better without him. Slaves better without him! His next band better without him! Please go embarrass yourself some more all over the Internet with your relapse videos and all these girls claiming what you did to them.
Travis Frazier the interview was posted three years ago but was filmed back in 2008 and yes I know the type of person he is but I also know facts. It’s clear you have a lot of hatred for Jonny and that’s your prerogative but you’re not going to call me a liar.
Yeah he’s a real piece of shit. I smoked a blunt with Will Swan and the rest of the band right after Kurt joined. Actually smoked before and after with Matt. I asked Will (who barely said anything) why they kicked Jonny out and he said “he’s a fucking asshole.”
Christian Gonzales Zac was saying the supporting acts on their tour sucked and this was for multiple tours. Not holding back, he was bashing them, their singers, etc.
He definitely a great person outside being in relationship, usually people are different in relationships. When you’re better off alone, it’s the truth. Despite the feelings, bottom line, it’s all logical thinking by the end of day. When he is alone with female and feelings are involved plus on top of that drug addiction is brutal messes with your head and emotions to not care and make very unthinkable approaches which are really bad.
SlickEvaderGames I’m not going to speak on his relationships because none of us actually know but I think it’s a Big leap to say he’s a “great person.” He was cool to me but we interacted once or twice a year. He was awful to a lot of people and he ripped off his own fans with no remorse.
@@ShapeShifterPB no he can’t. Seen LMTF three times and the clean vocals were always trash. He used to only scream and have a guitar player sing. One of the worst vocalists in the scene
@@DWLoux there was a rumor that DGD, mainly Jon Mess, kicked Jonny’s ass when they kicked him out the band. I had this confirmed by Jon Mess later on stating “we HAD to kick his ass”
@@DWLoux I’m not 100% on the city but I remember there being a laugh about him getting kicked out in Kentucky then joining a Kentucky band in Emarosa. I don’t know if that’s true tho. Jon didn’t remember what city
When I was in college I had tickets to see him play about an hour away. I was going to meet my buddy there but I studied Architecture and it was about 10 days before finals so I had to back out last second. A few hours later I got a video sent to my phone from my buddy of Jonny Craig telling me good luck with school, not to stress out about missing the show, and that there would be plenty more shows to make it to.
Awh that’s amazing. I’m an addict. Clean for 8 years and I know that when you use what he chose that (same as me) addicts usually use because of pain and deep deep pain. I’m not saying it isn’t selfish it was but not narcissistically selfish. I feel for him. Very talented
Dude Jonny is fucking awesome he is his own goddamn band. His music is awesome no sober or not sober it doesn’t make a difference as long as you understand and feel the music in a way that helps you. You are free to make your own decisions and Jonny is inspiring no matter what
@Hugh Mad Bro I don’t know how Jonny put up with a high Taylor Nicole Dean….from what I’ve heard from a few different sources--she is THE ULTIMATE BUZZKILL. Apparently all she does is cry and complain when she gets high, doesn’t shower for weeks on end, and takes pictures of her track marks. 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@mandyjuelz bruh Jonny literally got her addicted to heroin and climbed on top of her and said he was going to rape her. A dude on here did a whole video about it
I feel bad for Johnny for real who knows what his childhood was like. Seriously hurt people, hurt people. I am also not condoning his drug abuse, or his attitude towards people but I feel sorry for the guy.
Wow. It's really great to hear his side of the story after hearing so many other versions of what happened. Even though commend him for trying to get back on track with sobriety, he still don't seem like someone id care to chill with.. Odd he stated his feelings on everyone else in the band besides Mess lol
REV3R1E This video is from when Emarosa was on The Delicious Tour with Pierce The Veil. The tour went from October 17 - November 29, 2008. Jon Mess left Dance Gavin Dance right before Deathstar (Self Titled) came out, which was released August 19, 2008.
Thank you so much for this interview! You guys seem a little unprepared or disorganized (just like early in your interviewing days or something), but this is legit one of the best interviews with JC I've ever seen---maybe *the* best! Appreciate it!
yeah, "just drinking" worked out really well, as this self-proclaimed "approachable" and "not rude" person went on to swindle $12,000 from fans (kids) that provide his financial lifeline. and before you get on the addict defense, i'm in recovery. drugs are not excuse for such next-level doucheyness
...But drugs are an excuse. Obviously not one that justifies any of those actions at all, but they are the *reason* everything happened. He's admitted it on stage, apologized in just about every way (social media, song lyrics, interviews, talking on stage, etc) and reimbursed everyone who could prove that they were one of the victims. People just won't let it fucking die; they just love to hold on to it and bring it up years later. And the most frustrating part about all of this is that none of the people bitching about it were actually affected by it. When you're right, you're right---his sobriety sure af didn't last long at all and he absolutely did go on to swindle his fans, and those are both rather despicable, but I resent that you (who wasn't one of the 16 people) are still so bitter about it.
I know!! Had no idea, heard that shit and was like fuuuuuck what happened. I remember first hearing that album and thinking "Anthony Green would be a perfect fit on this". Would have taken him over Vic any day, though I know THAT definitely wouldn't have happened ha.
keithdube12 lol the funny shit is he doesn't know that she went around to just about every concert of the dgd reunion. Can't tell you how awkward it was when he saw her..she then proceeded to tell me these crazy stories and how she didn't have a bf but he took her virginity and she didn't know what to think at first
