Self-titled album and Whatever I Say is Royal Ocean are mine. I really prefer the more raw sounding albums, but dbm 2 is the last DGD album I loved. The rest are kinda meh to me
I think unironically, DTBM2 is probably the most emotional album for me. I feel like a lot of the riffs match with what's being said by jonny at any given point, and he does a really good job at reflecting the almost sickening feeling of knowing how low your life can get due to substance abuse, particularly herion. Some songs on the album really just make me feel that way, especially this song.
Hi Mike!! My name is Holly, and my fiancé is a huge fan of your channel and what you do. His favorite band is Dance Gavin Dance and I thought it might be fun to have you make an instrumental cover of their song Spooks in acoustic. I want it to be slower so that I can walk down the aisle to it and surprise him. If it’s not feasible I understand! I just wanted to try :) Thank you for your time! Holly
For some reason I had walked into the yob this morning thinking, "Gee, I wonder when Mikerisms is going to cover Spooks." A little while later I decided to stream some DTBM2 as I continued working, and lo and behold, what pops-up on recommended videos? "Dance Gavin Dance - Spooks - Cover By Mike Smith." Made the morning a little brighter (funkier?). I should really play the lottery...
This song was my #2 most played of 2020 (after Elder Goose), so I decided to try to learn the full thing (up to now I can only play that interlude piece that we all love). You fucking killeddd this, and thank you so much for the tabs!
definitely the best song on the album and one of my fav DGD songs!! started my love for this them so glad u have covered this!! awesome work as usual man 👌
Brandon Hmmmm... Good question, there may be a tutorial. This is a very long and complicated song so a tutorial will be even more long and complicated!
I've always figured this would be one of the hardest DGD songs to learn/play. I totally understand if you don't want to make a tutorial for something this complex. I appreciate the tabs and can learn from just the tabs and your video! It will just go a little slower.
Josh Lizaola I'll probably end up doing one though, it's just time consuming and I rarely get more than a couple of hours to get a video done. it's on my tutorial list 😀
So we can sing along as well! Fool, your word means shit My eyes, they wander Not a lotta shit left to break inside the mind of acid-whore Swallowing your sister's nightstand might cover up the clogging pores The sound of Master Blaster's tank weapon gun addon, I believe Every single little child can benefit from smoking weed You're filling your pockets with my bones Filling your pockets Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways I don't know much about computers But I know that you look like a child abuser Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways Sideways, sideways Move in, take what's not yours Take what I worked for Slow down, stop me now You're tearing apart my soul And lately we should be making me The best type of record for wasting, please Amazing bark is getting dark You know that I know, can ride the arc And lately we should be making me The present elect is a burning tree And you know that I know that I can't be me So I can be you, and well, you can be me I'm a T.O.Y F.O.R you, on my pleasure principle We keep it on the down low, 'cause public eyes are sensible There ain't no outcome without the illusion that I let you in the first place Girl, you know what we're doin', this is dirty sex Back seats, over the tables, under the sheets At the workplace, on the beach, in the hammock where I sleep I know it's your birthday, but could you call me up at 3:30?

This songs a whore to try and learn. It's like I'm doing a mixture of learning it by ear and pausing it to see were u start each phrase. This album has to be my absolute favorite.
ValkyreBomb I teach guitar, bass and drums as well as theory and tech etc. also in a covers band playing at weddings, parties, corporate events and stuff. I work part time in my dad's music store and I'm also a foster carer. Doing this RUclips stuff is what I do with my tiny bit of spare time, haha!
I play the chords first in the part after the intro. IMO they are too cool to leave out. There is a guitar pro file on ultimate-guitar.com that shows what I mean
From an outsider's perspective it seems like any song on this album will be more difficult than most of the songs on the other albums It seems way more technical and complicate to play Also I remember Will said he worked very very hard on dbm2 Previously Ponchieezed would be fun to watch you do
david nunez Thanks man! Erm, not necessarily, I know their writing style and their general go chords and stuff better than other bands so that helps. But it's still working out notes in the same fashion as everything else really. I've just done a crap load more dgd than anything else, haha!
the way you flick off your slide at 1:40 lol
dBm 2 has to be my favourite dgd album, it's so relentless and fresh
Self-titled album and Whatever I Say is Royal Ocean are mine. I really prefer the more raw sounding albums, but dbm 2 is the last DGD album I loved. The rest are kinda meh to me
1:58 the part we all came here for
Your not wrong lol
Literally this dude.
SWAN SOUP

By far the most underrated DGD song. Please cover it.
My personal favorite DGD song. You killed it. Cheers!
Wes Hill Thanks dude ☺

I love your enthusiasm for DGD, reminds me why I love them
The mid-song glasses adjustment deserves recognition lol
You have single-handedly revamped my interest in guitar and I thank you for that. keep it up!
Brad Lenkersdorfer That's wonderful, thanks a lot dude 😀
You might as well cover all DGDs songs 😍!
Jilliana Giroux I probably will end up doing that yeah, haha!
Aaaaand he's basically done it
@@Mikerisms Dudes are pumping out music faster than you can say "Downtown Battle Mountain", you better catch up quick, we need to see them covers!
One of my fav's by them, period. Thanks for covering this.
The way you played that solo at the end, I think i like it more than the original... I love you Mike
Lambda Complex Thanks dude 😁

Dude you killed it!!! Awesome job man. This is for sure my top 3 favorite DGD song.
That slide thingy move you made was savage!
This song was my #2 most played of 2020 (after Elder Goose), so I decided to try to learn the full thing (up to now I can only play that interlude piece that we all love). You fucking killeddd this, and thank you so much for the tabs!
Bro those are 2 of my most favourites too, privilously poncheezied is up there too
definitely the best song on the album and one of my fav DGD songs!! started my love for this them so glad u have covered this!! awesome work as usual man 👌
0riginalFIR3 Thanks dude 😀
Mikerisms no problem!! cant wait for a tutorial 😉 na im honestly just happy seeing an awesome cover tbh!! but wouldnt complain if u did 😂
Dude EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR COVERS ARE ON POINT.tone is always so fucking beautiful you're a badass guitarist
worth it, amazing job as always. such a fun and tricky one to play. how the hell does will play that and rap over it, it's insane.
Josh Tsavo I'm not sure but I think Will plays the other guitar part, the less busy one at that part. I could be wrong lol
Joshua Moscicki nope. will definitely plays that part live. crazy
Joshua Moscicki Will plays all lead guitar parts live. They always have the touring guitarist play the second.
Simply incredible.
Edder Ortega Thanks dude 🙂
Oh. My. God. Literally no words on how insane you are at guitar..
Max Robertson Thanks a lot dude 😀
why aren't you in a band with blue swan records so you can continue making this DGD genre? amazing stuff man.

Derek Dorfmeyer Thanks dude 😀
Definitely my favorite song off the album but this is fucking awesome! "'You're word means shit' *pause* also shit" LOL
Andres Ko Thanks man, it's a great song!
Mikerisms you should try to do one on "Need Money" by DGD
I'm here in 2020 and blown away! you played this so fucking clean, note for note! shit likes this gives me motivation to always play!

That was fucking incredible Mike. Your vibes are contagious, and the song is legendary. I love you man.

You should cover the backwards pumpkin song
Lo hiciste increíble!!

Can you do a lesson on this one?
Any chance you can push a cover of Thug City to the front of the list? Love your videos, Mike- please keep up the great work!
I've wanted you to do this song for awhile! So glad to see it finally done. Can we expect a tutorial or just the tabs?
Brandon Hmmmm... Good question, there may be a tutorial. This is a very long and complicated song so a tutorial will be even more long and complicated!
I've always figured this would be one of the hardest DGD songs to learn/play. I totally understand if you don't want to make a tutorial for something this complex. I appreciate the tabs and can learn from just the tabs and your video! It will just go a little slower.
dude you're insane
Tutorial please?
Please do a tutorial !! I e always wanted you to do one for this song !!
Josh Lizaola it'll have to wait until I get a lot of time, it's a long complicated song so the tutorial will be even longer and more complicated haha!
Mikerisms I understand man I guess I was being selfish and not realizing the time it takes too do these, thank you man
Josh Lizaola I'll probably end up doing one though, it's just time consuming and I rarely get more than a couple of hours to get a video done. it's on my tutorial list 😀
So we can sing along as well!
Fool, your word means shit
My eyes, they wander
Not a lotta shit left to break inside the mind of acid-whore
Swallowing your sister's nightstand might cover up the clogging pores
The sound of Master Blaster's tank weapon gun addon, I believe
Every single little child can benefit from smoking weed
You're filling your pockets with my bones
Filling your pockets
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
I don't know much about computers
But I know that you look like a child abuser
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Slow plans, stuck in my bladder, turn yourself sideways
Sideways, sideways
Move in, take what's not yours
Take what I worked for
Slow down, stop me now
You're tearing apart my soul
And lately we should be making me
The best type of record for wasting, please
Amazing bark is getting dark
You know that I know, can ride the arc
And lately we should be making me
The present elect is a burning tree
And you know that I know that I can't be me
So I can be you, and well, you can be me
I'm a T.O.Y F.O.R you, on my pleasure principle
We keep it on the down low, 'cause public eyes are sensible
There ain't no outcome without the illusion that I let you in the first place
Girl, you know what we're doin', this is dirty sex
Back seats, over the tables, under the sheets
At the workplace, on the beach, in the hammock where I sleep
I know it's your birthday, but could you call me up at 3:30?
Damn, okay, where do you want to meet?
'Cause I know the lonely road it took to get there
And I believed, I believed it at your lonely word
Well, I knew the lonely road it took to get there
Yeah, I believed, I believed it in your lost words
Well, I know the only road it takes to get there
And I only feel it now because I've been there
And I know the lonely road it takes to get there
And I only feel it now because I've been there
Slow down, stop me now
You're tearing apart my soul
Move in, take what's not yours
Take what I worked for
A thinly veiled guise elected for another new sound
Capitalize when you dumb it down
You defect and I'll be raging on top of my car
You defect and I'll be passed out, covered in tar
A thinly veiled guise elected for another new sound
Capitalize when you dumb it down
A thinly veiled guise elected for another new sound
Capitalize when you dumb it down
Tab pls
Blue Dream! Please!
I want to see you cover blue dream by DGD so badly
I know it's not DGD, but please can you do a cover of The Gold by Manchester Orchestra? I'm a little obsessed with it atm...
What are your thoughts on the band. “ the hottness”? They came up on the same local scene as DGD but broke up. Imo they were just as good
Holy shit man. Good on you.
Do Biblee By Secret Band!!!!
Blaaah Man I love that song!
Tutorial? Oh fudge I learned the octave part after the cool part!!

Nick Cerini There's a link to my tab in the description dude 😀

Heck yeah.

Would you consider covering anything from the Dreamhouse by tides of man? I think you could do summa that good guitar shit from that album
More, more!
If I could make a request. My favorite dgd song is Turn off the lights I'm watching back to the future pt 2. It'd be sick to see your cover.

YASSS
YES!
This songs a whore to try and learn. It's like I'm doing a mixture of learning it by ear and pausing it to see were u start each phrase. This album has to be my absolute favorite.
Nailed it again dude. Id love to just hangout with you and listen to music i feel like thatd be a fuckin B L A S T
HELL TO THE YES! this guys fucking sickkk!!
kenya kent Thanks!
please teach me your ways!!!
May I ask what you do for a job? It's of course music/guitar related, you put out covers so fast!
ValkyreBomb I teach guitar, bass and drums as well as theory and tech etc. also in a covers band playing at weddings, parties, corporate events and stuff. I work part time in my dad's music store and I'm also a foster carer. Doing this RUclips stuff is what I do with my tiny bit of spare time, haha!

It seems way more technical and complicate to play
Also I remember Will said he worked very very hard on dbm2
Previously Ponchieezed would be fun to watch you do
...wow
so much dank
Круто! Выпускай видео почаще!
Doooope
Sometimes i play your cover versions rather than the original versions.. :)
After covering so much dgd songs ( killed this cover btw❤️️) are you able to cover the band faster than others ?
david nunez Thanks man! Erm, not necessarily, I know their writing style and their general go chords and stuff better than other bands so that helps. But it's still working out notes in the same fashion as everything else really. I've just done a crap load more dgd than anything else, haha!
Mikerisms awesome man. It's insane how quick and efficient you are.
Elder Goose please senpai!
i wish you i could get you as a guitar teacher! too bad im all the way in california :(
I think he said in the past he was offering lessons over skype! Though im not sure if that's still a thing. He'll probably reply!
Tony Reyes Become a Patron! He gives you a personal lesson of your choosing at the end of each month!
Tony Reyes I do indeed do Skype lessons dude. If you're on Facebook and you message me through there then we can sort something out 😀
awesome! i sent you a message :)
Mikerisms Are you Mikerisms on Facebook too? I'll message you!
Fucking nice dude! I'd love to see you cover Need Money !
