APMAs 2016 Performance: DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL - 'Hands Down'

"Please rise for your national anthem," we announced as the 2016 APMAs began. To honor our magazine's history and the artists who were the turning point for our becoming who we are now, we invited modern emo legend Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional to serenade us into our third annual awards ceremony.

Haha the crowd totally doesn't know this song... WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS WORLD!?

[StandOutInACrowd]

The fact that this crowd doesn't know this song makes me feel so old and outdated lol.

[TheMattz]

He still kills those notes everytime. It's amazing

[NjvsValhalla]

42 yrs old and still hitting that C5 like a champ

[hohowan]

This crowd sucks. Chris must feel weird with no one singing along. Although it's nice to hear him sing without the crowd.

[auralamadrid]

HANDS DOWN THIS IS THE BEST DAY I CAN EVER The feels man

[jeffperkins]

Hit's the heart strings hard. "I still know that you meant it"

[StephCreativity]

I would go ham singing this at the APMAs, he is a legend. beautiful voice as always

[stephenparedes]

so sad that this crowd wasnt going crazy. this dude is a true legend

[fridz]

He’s killing it. Don’t care about the crowd, I’m just glad he’s giving it his all regardless the dead crowd in front of him. This is a superb performance compared to the past 3 years I saw YT videos of him performing this song live.

[katyrix]

I was so happy to have been able to see this performance live. Wish I could go back and relive it all again.

[walwin]

WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS NO ONE SINGING?!?!! 😭

[StephenRahrig]

🤣🤣🤣compare this crowd to the classic MTV unplugged crowd lmao oh well!!

[patrickshreps]

it's really painful to see your idol fade away. although he's still better than most of the band vocalists today. crowd should be able to recognize a legend and an alumni. 😭

[TheLissyDoodlez]

This song will forever be joy in my heart! Thank you Dashboard, I LOVE YOU!!!! ❤️

[tryhnesty]

I had the biggest crush on him when I was a little teenager oh the feels

[westryan]

I am from china and this song reminds me the beautiful time in my teenage years. Can believe the vocal turned like this.

[BrycenGaines]

wow haven't seen him in years! Amazing!

[bearlantis]

How can you not sing along with this man?!

[constantconfessions]

Hands down this is the best song I can ever remember
