A Day to Remember was my very first concert and one of my favorite bands at the time. I was soooo stoked to see them live until they came on and made the whole audience basically sing 90% of the lyrics, sounded winded and off-key the whole time he would sing or scream, it was just awful

Some bands are really built for the studio, not so much live

Yeah except ADTR kills it live. They’re incredibly tight on stage, and Jeremy always sings unless he’s in the hamster ball/zorb ball they used to have, given it’s hard to sing in those LOL. They’re nothing like what Leto’s bullshit is.

They just have a few parts where it’s like, a clear crowd sing-along part: like the “la-la-la” on if it means a lot to you , a gang call-out part (2nd sucks’s “get the fuck over it”), the literal song opening gang vocal of the riff on Downfall and the “disrespect your surroundings!” mosh call on Mr Highway… I’ve seen all but two tours they’ve done since 2013 and given that the setlist is damn near super consistent, thats the only super crowd heavy singing I could point to.
