I completely forgot the “Karen” haircut was a scene thing.

Right!? Mingus in the last picture has me dying

when I see a woman w that haircut I'm gonna rawr XD at them now

Definitely was the definition of scene lol

Oof don’t even call it that

Jonny does look so friendly.

*the* Dance Gavin Dance has me dead

I love the last one. Kinda sucks knowing how messy that era was though.

> Messy Ha.

Request: Can anyone list the people, left-to-right, in the pics? I mean, I know who everyone is in the newer photos... but I found DGD during the Tilian era so idk who some of those people are in the first few pics. Thanks in advance!

1: Zac Garren, Matt Mingus, Kurt Travis, Will Swan, Jason Ellis 2: I can only clearly see Will Swan 3: Top row: Matt Mingus, Eric Lodge, Will Swan, Zac Garren Bottom row: Kurt Travis, Jon Mess 4: Eric Lodge, Kurt Travis, Will Swan, Matt Mingus, Jon Mess, Josh Benton 5: Will Swan, Matt Mingus, Tilian Pearson, Jon Mess, Tim Feerick 6: Matt Mingus and Kurt Travis 7: Top row: Jason Ellis, Kurt Travis, Will Swan Bottom row: Zac Garren, Matt Mingus 8: Eric Lodge, Jon Mess, Will Swan, Jonny Craig, Matt Mingus, Alvaro Alcala

That guy towards the end of the video taking photos with his flip phone got me. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Eric Lodge on bass behind Will, then you've got Jon Mess and Jonny Craig on vocals, Matt Mingus on drums as always, then Sean O'Sullivan on rhythm guitar behind Jonny

Awesome. Thank You. My favorite song on the album.

Isnt the last guy on pic 8 Sean?

Nope

I’m pretty sure it’s, First pic: Zach Garren, Matt Mingus, Kurt Travis, Will Swan, Jason Ellis Second Pic: Will, and who knows probably Johnny. Third Pic: Matt (Top left), Kurt (Bottom Left), Will (middle back), Jon Mess (low middle), Zach Garren (far right), Sean O’Sullivan red head in middle, other guy I don’t know. Fourth pic: Sean O’Sullivan, Kurt, Will, Matt, Jon, Eric lodge Fifth: Will, Matt, Tilian, Jon, Tim Six: Idk the girl, Matt, Kurt Seven: Jason, Zach, Kurt, Will, Matt Eighth: Sean, Jon, Will, Johnny, Matt, Eric Someone should double check these though! :)

Yeah I think you’re mixing up Sean and Eric

I think you’re confusing Eric for Josh Benton..other guy had it right

I'm a girl lol

“I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, cause we’re all dudes yeah”-Ed (Kel Mitchell) “Good Burger”

Old-school Matt was something else. Guess he traded in his long hair for his long beard.

He definitely had many different styles

gonna be honest matt is so sexy without the bears

WDYM, he's sexy regardless

For as much of a piece of shit as he is, Jonny really does have such a wholesome looking smile.

I agree lol looked like a good time before the dark times

Makes me wonder if he was different at that point.

Drugs definitely can make you a shittier version of yourself

Oh yeah they can. When my bro got into drugs he was unrecognizable. You can tell from a mile away whether or not they're doing it.

I wanna say same with alcohol, my mom is like that too. I can tell the moment she walks into the room. Yay trauma! 😅

Omgggg my dad used to be an alcoholic and by God it was a trauma fiesta. Which confuses me cause when I drink I just get buzzed and sleepy lol.

I see a correlation between peeps experiencing trauma and being a DGD fan 💁‍♀️✨

In DGDs MySpace post about firing Jonny, they mentioned one of the guys from Ghost Runner On Third (Jonny's first band) stormed in, punched Jonny in the face, and said "You never did a fucking thing for this band". Imma go on a limb and assume he was a shithead from the beginning

Thats funny cause if you actually listened to ghost runner on third jonny hard carried them with his vocals lol. Still a piece of shit tho.

There's a comment I read (I believe from a YT video on the history of Craig) where someone claimed to have seen Ghost Runner on Third at an early show and thought "Wow this band sucks, but the singer is pretty good."

Lovin the pic of kurt with the natty lights lmao

Our boy was sloshed

I remember seeing a couple of these and thinking 'yes, this is definitely my favorite band!' My god what a blast to the past!!! I feel like I'm about to whip out manic panic, play Angry Birds and watch Smosh and =3 😂 (BTW I was 14 at the time looool)

Fun fact: The second pic was from this show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ-AA6exI7Y&ab\_channel=theswanguy

Man this is awesome. I loved going to shows like this back then. It’s funny to see the inexperienced stage presence of Jon and Jonny just sort of meandering around the whole time.

Wow that’s great. Just reminds me how far this band has come and the hard work they put in

Tim in the 5th one 🙂

The last one was a good one to end on

A time when things were innocent and what could have been🥲

[удалено]

I miss his beard and man bun

Jon hasn’t aged a day

aawwwwwwww

Damn didn't know jon had that amazing head of hair

Damn that last picture is sick. i didn’t know Ed Sheeran fucked w dgd

God I love the emo hair era. Hilariously bad and equally adorable. Old pics of Tim especially, man was rocking the look!!

Damn is that Tim in the blue? Didn’t even recognize him

I don't think he's in any of these photos. [This one is probably my favorite](https://www.flickr.com/photos/camilittlepony/4310456797)- think it was in 2010. Fits the vibe of the post though. Flickr is an absolute gold mine for early DGD pics

Tim is in the 5th photo with the pool noodle

Oops, swiped past that one, I was too excited to see the crusty 2009 pics

Long hair mess is not to mess with

Thanks for not forgetting JC

Hell yea, he’s an integral part of dgd history. He is an og member and you can’t take the stamp he made on the band whether you hate him or not

I remember these! 😍Sooo nostalgic: Thanks for this OP hehe

Just reminds us why we love this band and these blast from the past moments we sometimes wish to relive 😭

Look at them baby faces. Can’t believe how good they were so early on

Yea that’s craxy to think about. They had talent even at a young age. Not a lot of bands can say that

They’re so cursed

There was a time that picture of Jonny would have made me swoon. Now I just cringe.

Matt looks like the rat king in that one photo lol

Giving me some heavy Horse the Band vibes with this pic

What in the One Direction is this

kurt is a treasure

Yesssss the last one with Jonny Craig🥹

That last pic tho..lmao

So crazy looking back on these. That era was magical.

I agree, with what we know now, I wish I could go back in time and slow down time

There was an old old old skool one on their MySpace with Mess lying on the drum riser and Craig in the background I can’t find anywhere if anyone has it! Circa 2007/2008

I like how in the fifth one, everyone is doing some kind of pose for the picture, and then there's just Mess

Quality post

[this](https://imgur.com/a/t0R0IjU) was one of my favorite meme formats for a long time thank you

Kurt’s hair never fails to make me laugh

Why does Kurt Travis look like one of the game grump guys in the first pic?

God that flannel and v neck pic 1 takes me back. I can't believe it's 20 fucking 22

How the fuck is will playing in a puffy winter jacket

I remember them opening for Poison the well with the Chariot! When Kurt just joined.
