Josh is a family member in the 1D family. We love him 😊

[@djm1ch0l4s9]

..Yeah, also his father is a fabulous singer (MickDevine from the band 7EVEN !)

[@chantelleblackbeard3213]

It was so great to hear the whole One Direction story from another angle. We all see and hear it from the boys point of view so to hear it from Josh's side is amazing!
SA loves you Josh!!

[@DilziaVillarreal]

Josh has a beautiful voice.

[@djm1ch0l4s9]

His father is the amazing singer of the melodic rock band SEVEN !

[@punnchannel3741]

he has a british accent

[@tokkahafez]

waiting for the boys to go back on tour so I can see josh playing the drums again with them

[@christiana624]

Josh is an amazing person, I'm sooooo glad he got this opportunity, he deserves it. He is so humble and sweet. Love you Josh! 💖

[@CapriciousCapricorn1901]

I became so emotional , Josh Devine - You really deserved it , Man :) Cant wait to see One Direction back again on tour ..

[@shanaia1643]

Hearing the whole journey from his POV is amazing, I feel so happy rn. Josh is greaaaat.
PS- notice how the first thing management looks for are looks, talent is secondary but this guy including all of 1d and musical band are talented af

[@AS-yz2iz]

I love that 1D toured with a band and didn't just have backing tracks at their concerts.

[@Charlotte757]

Talented drummer! Much love

[@Freogeteknet]

"he looks perfect! Can he play?" now that is pretty bad...

[@shanaia1643]

Well that's Syco and Modest for you.

[@MaartenBlij]

Dude, that live footage at the end. Imagine playing such a show every night :O

[@spookyscaryhaley]

Massive fan of Josh. Love him so much

[@AngelRodriguez-tj7xt]

Josh deserves good things. He seems like a nice guy.

[@maki8677]

Josh made 1D song even better in lives
Respect!

[@priscillaaa_j]

I love that so much. My older brother is a drummer and so I get some of the gist of what Josh is talking about, but MAN. It is truly such a blessing to go from one moment of playing in clubs to sell-out stadiums. And of course, Josh deserves it!!

[@Theenragedone]

Another great interview. This is becoming one of my favorite youtube series.

[@jennifer2675]

[@sbolger]

When/If one direction come back I will not accept just any drummer the band for one direction will always have to be josh sandy jon and dan nobody can replace them

[@nevergonnadanceagain369]

I think that 1D had an actual live band was one of their secrets of success. Great dude!!

[@Lissetete]

He’s really down to earth. Good for him he’s very talented as well ^^

[@russellandrady]

He is so so talented.

[@minisurfbanana]

Man...even bands like One Direction has a killer drummer!!!

[@Kas_Styles]

Love ya Josh on behalf of the fandom.

[@alain_de_frothcorn]

It was interesting to hear that he was initally profiled for the job becaused he looked good - understandable but disappointing - however he was an outstanding talent and made 1D studio songs come to life on stage.

[@harrysdifferentbeans6164]

Love Josh

[@clarizzafray]

He seems to be a good person. More success to you.

[@torstenfoelsch4770]

Großartiger Mann!

[@evannahmalikson5327]

Would have loved seeing you play something! Maybe some other time then :)

[@juanjones7542]

He made money off his passion I respect ✊🏾 that

[@sunsethotdog2856]

8:49 he catches the drum sticks like it’s nothing.i can barely hold a stylo in school.

[@tinyemilie888]

5:50 MY CONCERT! ;-; i miss them...

[@melisagofficial]

[@massiliat9542]

Omg Josh is so cute

[@rubenjaggli1443]

Elmo could you do a How I got the Gig with Matt McGuire from The Chainsmokers

[@woodydrums_]

I believe “Richard” was actually a drummer called jiffy griffiths

[@sangthysang5037]

2022 anyone💔❤

[@haaazzziiim]

Wait Josh is gonna sing???

[@zofiajosie]

Lmao I met him at a 1d concert. He almost refused a photo...

[@gras4539]

Wdym?

[@MrDirectioner.]

He talks like niall

[@adrianaamaro4036]

True, they both have very similar tones. Therefore, there is a possibility that they are cousins.

[@fitzy1093]

Nothing about him learning all the songs for the tour? What song(s) he played at the auditions? So little about the actual music...

[@juanjones7542]

What kind of question is that ?? Disadvantage ??
