Even if you just scroll through the songs I've posted, you'll not find another band with the diversity of sound and lyrical genius as this band.  I've been around a while now and this band is one of those once in a generation bands...like Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Rolling Stone.

And those bands didn't have the diversity of this band.

lol wut?

There are plenty of diverse artists out there. This band is decent and yes has some diversity...

...but comparing 21 Pilots to Metallica, Guns N Roses, or the Rolling Stones is a little silly...

Candiria was doing this in the 90's and nobody cared. It is all about airplay.
 

 

Holler at me when 21 Pilots incorporates jazz times and instrumentals.

Also, MAYDAY! is something you'll probably like if you want to check out something similar to 21 Pilots. They are mostly hip hop but they are 100x better at what they do than 21 Pilots.

While I liked some of the vid's you posted...they didn't have what I would consider to be great.  I didn't feel anything listening to those songs even though I liked them enough.  TOP makes me feel something.  Of course the reciprocal could be the same to you.

As far as comparing them to bands from the past such as Metallica, Rolling Stones, or Guns N Roses...I have no problem doing that.  People tend to deify past bands like some of their stuff isn't just plain boring.  That's ok, I understand that, but I'm not one of those people.  TOP is every bit as good as those bands and better.

The great part is that I feel this way about TOP and they are in their infancy.  They could have even greater things to come.  Even if that doesn't happen I still think Tyler is a brilliant songwriter.

Again, just my opinion.

Another example of their brilliance.

I've been listening to music all my life (45 years) and rarely has a band moved me like this.  Not just talking about this song in particular but their entire catalog.

Bands like that get super famous to do one thing .. to promote a message

All my friends are heathens take it slow ?

Heathen is a person with no religious beliefs ... it's just the mass media which is controlled literally by the devil trying to stray Americans farther from God

You realize you're a crazy person right?

And they even have something for you atheists out there.

They have a good sense of humor too as evidenced by this vid:

These guys just aren't capable of writing a B-side.

This is probably the worst I've heard from TOP.  But I still kind of like it.

Ukelele...seriously, how many bands could pull this off?
