Jason Ellis[edit]

According to Zac Garren, who posts on numerous forum boards, Jason left to focus on school and the band knew about his early departure all along, they just needed someone to fill in on bass. Now, this is probably completely true, but a credible source is needed, but does not exist. What can you do?Erasethepast (talk) 06:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Current Revisions[edit]

Until a formal announcement by the band has been made, there will be NO more posting of the Jon/Eric situation. We agreed and discussed this months ago, so everyone who is new here, LEAVE THE TEXT ALONE ABOUT JON AND ERIC. Also, myspace.com is not a credible source to be posting new information regarding the band. No where in the myspace bulliten posted on Nov. 11 did the band say that the lyrics enclosed were new lyrics, or ever they're lyrics. So do not post about that. The last issue concerned is the 4th album. The band has NOT stated anywhere that they have started recording. They are out on tour for christs sake! Leave it alone! Spreading false and inaccurate information is not what wikipedia.org is about, and is not encouraged or permitted here either. Erasethepast (talk) 06:21, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Line up Change[edit]

Can somebody cite the whole line up change situation? Zeropunk16 (talk) 18:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where the hell did this come from? "Jon Mess and Eric Lodge have recently stated they quit the band due to tensions being built and the changes made for the direction of the music." Can someone cite that or at least acknowledge how they got this information? Erasethepast (talk) 19:23, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i received that information directly from Jon, Eric and Jonny Craig. i talked to them on myspace and thats exactly the statement i received. since Jon and Eric are not in any current band or wont be in a band anytime soon, there is no wideview blog for them to explain this. myspace isnt a reliable source hence their blog won't be trusted by the wikipedia community. they dont have a website either. i stated what they had said to me and thats all that you will hear from them unless they make a video on youtube. jonny was the first person to find out about this directly from jon and eric so asking him on myspace.com/jonnysingstoyou is helpful —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisisyourwayout (talk • contribs) 19:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not verifiable. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 12:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know its not verifiable, im just making the point to the kid above me. You wont hear ANYTHING about/from Jon or Eric unless u message them on myspace (and get lucky if they write back), or if you message jonny craig which he writes back for certain. This is for the people who want to know what REALLY happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisisyourwayout (talk • contribs) 03:44, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is for discussing improvements to the article. Internet forums are for discussing what you think happened. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:19, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note the headline "Lineup Change", no improvements will be made on Jon and Eric quitting to the article. They won't make any public announcements. Georgiamode01 (talk) 15:42, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I hear Hunsy Snow will be in serious consideration

Didn’t he turn down Saosin and tides of man? MusicLifestyles (talk) 15:31, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Protected?[edit]

It would be nice to get this page protected against edits by non-established users. For some reason it sees a lot of vandalism. Davidovic 12:26, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jonny Craig back in band?[edit]

CREDIBLE source on this? ~Ambrosia- talk 01:32, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jazz Fusion?[edit]

Umm, since when were they Jazz? If anything, a bit of funk, but Jazz? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.182.212.230 (talk) 04:15, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, yeah, they use a lot of jazz chords but that's not enough to call them jazz fusion, but you know, there is this DGD funk-meets-prog-meets-fusion-but-is-not-one-or-another, so sometimes people change the genre on the wikipedia to prog rock or psychedelic rock. We must do something about it. Suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.239.185.234 (talk) 06:12, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sean O'Sullivan Urination Incident[edit]

http://www.unratedmagazine.com/Document.cfm?Page=Articles/index.cfm&Article_ID=510 if anyone wants to cite it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.2.39 (talk) 19:02, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Acceptance Speech Article?[edit]

Is there a reason why the article for Acceptance Speech was removed and is now a redirect to the main article? It seems to me that there is more than enough information available on the album to warrant an entire article, as there is with all the band's other albums. Also, there are still links throughout the article to the Acceptance Speech article, which now simply redirects people back to the article they are already on. Seems we need to make up our minds... does Acceptance Speech deserve an article or not? Beachdude42 03:44, 14 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beachdude42 (talk • contribs)

It definitely deserves its own article. The guy who was flagging it for deletion finally backed off, now there's just a source flag. He had a point that, according to the wiki guidelines, notability is not inherited just because the band's previous albums all have pages, but personally i think that's really more to avoid articles for things like small EPs or generic releases like "iTunes Sessions" kinda things. Even bands I don't like deserve to have their albums have pages if they're notable. Either way, the article should be good now. Mrkite6270 (talk) 22:15, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline[edit]

Please do not remove members from the timeline if you do not know what you are doing. Someone recently removed all the touring members, which is understandable as there are a lot of them, however they did so without realizing that they were also removing some official members who are listed as also serving as touring members before/after their official tenure with DGD. If you don't know that Kurt Travis was an official member of DGD, you have no business editing the timeline. For the purposes of the timeline, any official members (i.e. Kurt Travis, Josh Benton) who fall into this category of having been both official and touring members should simply be represented on the timeline in the standard way during any periods they served as members, official or otherwise; adding a bar to designate them as touring members will not be necessary, as any member who has ONLY served as a touring member will not show up on the timeline at all.Mrkite6270 (talk) 04:22, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History issues?[edit]

I don't know what's going on or who keeps removing almost half the Acceptance Speech article on the bands history page, but it would be nice if users/administrators would stop removing almost all of the pages and history notes from this even if we actually do have actual sources from official websites or the band themselves.

Rock vs. Post-hardcore[edit]

@Cblake92: Here are some bands that have "rock" as the lead genre: Linkin Park, Thrice (also a post-hardcore band), My Chemical Romance (also a post-hardcore band), Falling in Reverse‎ (also a post-hardcore band), Fall Out Boy, Shinedown, Panic! at the Disco, Bring Me the Horizon (also a post-hardcore band), ‎Muse, A Day to Remember (also a post-hardcore band), Fightstar (also a post-hardcore band), Asking Alexandria (also a post-hardcore band), Sleeping with Sirens (also a post-hardcore band), The Used (also a post-hardcore band). My point is, this is common on Wikipedia. The most simple and broad genre should be in the lead. Oh and now the page is protected because of our edit war so now we have to just discuss this now. Bowling is life (talk) 01:09, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have a history, per your talk page, of changing genre to suit your tastes, but I attribute that to you being a kid. I'm not gonna fight anymore. You seem to have a really rough grasp on post-hardcore based on this list. I've been listening to this genre for literally almost as long as you've been alive (fifteen years), but whatever. I'm done. We'll agree to disagree. Have a good night Cblake92 (talk) 02:54, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cblake92: First off stop calling me a kid, second the messages I got on my talk page were not about the genres in the lead. I'll admit, I've made some mistakes with genres in the infobox. Getting back to post-hardcore vs. rock, I understand why you changed the genre but most band articles have rock in the lead. This is because rock is more broad than post-hardcore. Also I'm not the one who changed it to rock. It just said post-hardcore for a while. When someone changed it to rock, I was fine with it becuase I knew that most band articles just have rock in the lead. I know you don't want to argue about it anymore and that's fine. Thank you.

Semi-protected edit request on 6 June 2022[edit]

Tilian is still in the band. He is on hiatus till these nonsense allegations go away. 24.52.19.183 (talk) 06:07, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: I don't think there's a consensus on whether or not Tilian should be considered a current band member. I have opened a new section below for people to discuss. Thank you. — RayleeKL «talk» 07:53, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Note: Closing request while this is under discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:53, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tilian's status in the band[edit]

There have been some edits back and forth on whether to include Tilian as a current band member. The only thing we know for sure is that Tilian is "stepping away from the band to seek professional help". We don't know how long this will be for, or if the band still considers him a member or not. Thus, I am undecided on where to put him in the article. Please discuss here if you have an opinion. — RayleeKL «talk» 07:50, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As for now, a lot has been said about Hunsy Snow(formerly of TPOS) will fill in. These are just reports, as of now. MusicLifestyles (talk) 15:35, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 28 June 2022[edit]

Change Former Touring Member Marc Okubo and former member Kurt Travis to current touring members, guitar and vocals respectively. (Understandable if this does not happen yet since that tour is later in the year). 2601:1C1:8B01:7230:3427:B972:784E:FD4F (talk) 09:29, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: They're filling in for the tour. Whether or not they'll be joining as members of the band is still undetermined. Aaron Liu (talk) 08:45, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 20 July 2022[edit]

Former vocalist Kurt Travis handled vocal duties for the band, A Lot Like Birds, from 2011 until 2016, and is the currently in Royal Coda

This is just a grammar fix, in the line above, it should say, is currently the vocalist in Royal Coda. WoeIsLee (talk) 18:47, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quick edit request[edit]

Just a tiny thing, in the third paragraph under '2008–2009: Dance Gavin Dance and Happiness' the band Closure in Moscow is listed as American - they're Australian. 79.161.57.152 (talk) 12:01, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit and Citation Request[edit]

For some reason the related project "Secret Band" is mentioned without linking to its respective wiki entry: Secret Band. At a minimum, we should hotlink its name like the rest of the references in the article for consistency, fairness, and exposure to further (potentially) relevant information.
