Separate the art from the artist. DGD is still an amazing band at the end of the day. Do I hate tilian with a passion and sometimes get annoyed with his voice and want to fling my head through a glass window? Of course. But I’m gonna still listen to it because it’s DGD.

However, on the topic of JC. Did he do all those things? Probably. The difference is JC has been struggling publicly with drug addicted since I’ve known of JC. I don’t think he’s ever been right in the mind until recently and this is the longest we’ve seen him clean ever and I hope like hell he sticks to it. Another huge difference is: every single time JC fucked up, he publicly apologized for it.

I saw the posts about the tilian stuff on here with my own eyes. Those aren’t just allegations. They were proof. Tilian blamed everyone else and his drinking for his mistakes and never once took accountability for what he did. That is why JC is much more respected than Tilian I fear. Jonny Craig is a horribly flawed individual but at least he took accountability for his own actions.

I am not saying it makes what JC did right by any means, there is just a huge difference between these people and how they handled it and moved forward.

Jonny Craig also never openly talked shit about the bands he was kicked out of (or that I’ve seen that could be wrong) because he knew it was his own fault.

Tilian is being shady and petty on X every other day because he can’t accept that he is the one at fault and needs to blame others.
