The next time that you get sad, just remember that you are on earth at the same time as Devin Townsend.
So true
True.
Corny statement bro.
I'm okay with being here now...Yep...Content...
What a beautiful thing to say.
Devin should be pictured on Canadian currency.
Indeed. I feel trully blessed for being able to share the world with Devin as we're both alive. Taking into consideration the number of peeps who've stumbled upon this world throughout it's history, am I a lucky bastard or what? Yes I am, yes I am. Thanks Devin!!
the old devin with the skullet.
As a Canadian, I approve this comment
Fuck that, let's up the stakes... American currency
😃 bawahahah! Lol great comment..lmao
I will never tire of seeing Devin's facial expressions when he performs.
The control he has over his voice, in both gentle and aggressive techniques, amazes me every single time
Totally! Incredible talent
Agreed... 2:42 - That slip from head voice to falsetto is so smooth. Reminds me of Freddie Mercury.
Yeah, his level of vocal control is pretty insane. And I remember him saying at the last acoustic tour that he basically self-taught.
This version of "Love" is so wicked!!! Makes it so much more terrifying and creepy!! And I just love the humor of the audience finding out this song was on an ACOUSTIC set lolol
I vote for Devin Townsend to be the King of Canada
Hail King Devin
Got my vote!
Of the world, king of the world guys ! !
The only acoustic performance to have both metal vocals, comedy, burps, and an incredibly deep connection to the human spirit. Also: Props to that one guy!
How can anything be creepy, funny AND beautiful all at the same time??
If he wasn't gifted with a voice from the gods I'm 100 % sure that Devin would be doing stand up comedy. He likes to make people laugh.
This one dude with just his guitar and his utterly outstanding voice casually creating an emotional rollercoaster and making me actually burst out with laughter. Devin Townsend is a real gift to mankind!
Damm, Devin is what any performer should aspire to be. He really owns the room, doing crowdwork mid song... What an experience this must've been.
Truly! Thanks for watching.
I was in a very downer mood today, and this just made me feel better. Whether he's singing about sad things or happy things, his music just brings comfort.
This rendition of Life has to be his best yet. I laughed and cried.
1:50 stepping on a lego in the dark
Big mood.
nobody mentioning that he burped in the mic at 4:14? Okay! Gotta Love Devin
Just when you think you’ve seen the full extent of his vocal range, he surprises you 😂
Saw him a few weeks ago. There were light-up balloons bouncing around in the pit, and he kept saying he wanted one, so someone tossed one at him in the middle of Why. He hugged it, humped it, drew Ziltoid on it, and tossed it back to the crowd. It was a good show!
God... this man is genius. It's been 25 years and Devin still surprises me!
He really is a genius! Considering that you have been following him for 25 years, do you have a favourite Devin Townsend moment of all time?
@@cbcmusic "It's been over a year since the reply. I've been waiting. Dust gathers still. The computer next to me is grinding slowly to a halt. Help."
Devin: Merging stand up and metal since NO ONE EVER
Iconic.
bo burham, check that boy
Bill Bailey kinda does. He's a great surrealist comedian.
You’ve never heard of Mattias IA Eklundh I presume :)
Jeffrey Dittburner saw BB in Liverpool the other week. Class act.
9:17 "sweep picking part that I can never play live"
I'm wheezing hahaha
Devin you are god's gift to this fuckin world 💖
The acapella solo leading up to that statement. Such delivery!!
Devin is just one of his own kind. A true living legend...
That was so, so cute. 🥺💕💕💕
That "sweep arpeggio I can never play live" at 09:16 really caught me off guard LMAO. I should use that excuse more often on my band practice
I love this man's sense of humour
Hi Devi! Lisa here. Thank you!
An angel, a demon, a madman, a genius all in one
"Everyday it's a buffet of meaning"
I'm keeping that one. Thanks, Dev ; )
here we have the man, putting out the best record of the decade and go on tour with a acoustic guitar. I just love sneaky old Devin.
I love how Devin makes these super uncomfortable faces when he plays but he makes it feel comfortable to the point where it totally sets the mood and setting..🤘
What an amazing concert that was. I will never forget it. Even got to meet Devin himself! He was so gracious. He talked to everybody there after the show. A great musician and entertainer.
Yup, even back in the Strapping days Devy has always made time for the fans. We're not there for him, he's there for us. Hands down the most genuinely humble guy who's ever been on a stage.
He has one of the most expressive faces I’ve ever seen.
Sometimes subtle; sometimes not so much.
Genius. I am on such a Devin trip of late. Why did it take me till 50 to discover him??
Craig Duncan 42 for me 😬
Craig Duncan irrelevant!what matters is that you did
I love you Devin
This is the best video to send to someone that never has listened to Devin and wait for their reaction
Haha just did that and now I saw your comment. Let's wait and see...
@@arxonypersuntelikos4356 I'm a year late (sorry about that lol), but how did they respond?
That's what's called solo performance, and the performer is genius!
I don't think these videos capture the fun of this tour. I was in tears and impressed simultaneously when I saw him last weekend and this isn't nearly as funny. His voice is still mindblowing
Thanks so much for sharing this! Listening in person is always different.
This shit keeps me alive
"See you in the other side" that one guy hahaha
Dev: The 1 loud guy goes 👈
Loud guy: SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!
He's always so incredibly on pitch and hits every note. One of the greatest
Devin is such a confident and inspiring performer. He's a blast to see live
This dude just makes me cheerful
He's got a knack for that!
Devin Townsend is a treasure. Never change.
I really love HevyDevy. He 's so talented as guitar player, composer and singer. And he always seems to be a super nice and funny person.
He is a 360° both artist and human.
If you know him and his music, you can just love him
This is phenomenal! Heavy Devy + Ziltoid 4 lifeternality!
This just adds another reason for me to love Devin a little bit more. If that was possible.
Devin if you ever read this know you changed the earth for the good, this made me laugh, think, question and relax all at the same time, absolutely perfect.
What an amazing experience and performance. His vocals are insane. Dev and Prince are my fav artists because they do/did what they want/ed with talent thats unattainable.
What a great comparison! Both Devin Townsend and Prince are so unique.
Neil Neazer it’s not unattainable. It’s hard work. It’s dedication. It’s finding obstacles to one’s creativity and then finding solutions to them. It’s consistency and it’s levity.
This man's control of his voice is just something out of this world. Not to mention the tones and colors of his voice. Well, yes, and the fact that he's a badass guitarist and songwriter. Ah, and there's also the fact he's an outstanding entertainer. Thank you for all of that, Devin!!! :)
Dude never fails to make me smile.
This is one of the most amazing things I've heard in my life.
Watching this and so many other videos with him reminds me why this guy is one of my absolute favourite singers. He completely puts his heart and soul in to what he does and not only is he SO hilarious but he´s incredibly talented and down to earth. The times where I have been so fortunate as to see him live have been amazing. He has a way of completely spellbinding the audience from the word go having us in the palm of his hand. I bow to thee Devin Townsend xx
What's your favourite Devin Townsend song?
@@cbcmusic Gosh I really have to give that some thought. There are so many to choose from :D
he is the master of reverb/delay fx
Agreed!
He's the master of all creation, let's be honest.
I think I might actually enjoy his comedy more than his music...and I LOVE his music ;)
MelvinGira Mikhael from Opeth and Devin should do a comedy tour
Geoff Barone prog metal comedy tour 😂
Add Yes’ Rick Wakeman to this prog rock comedy tour...he’s hilarious
seen Devin 4 times live in Australia, ill continue to see him until he stops touring :)
A truly 100 % artist, in every way 🤟🤟
Amazing. Beautiful. That voice...
Love? is so much darker without Strapping Young Lad behind him.
This guys is amazing! So talented so witty and so much down to earth. Wonderful voice :-))))
this performance is haunting
Class act, Devin. I'd love to come to a show like this with Devin playing sometime. Really fantastic.
Love the crazy that is Devin. A one of a kind Canadian treasure.
I love this guy because he is on such a higher level of talent than most people. Devon picks you up ,takes a bit chews you a bit then spits you out. If your able to survive you come out a better person with just a little bit more than most .
Okay, the meaning behind the song is creepy af. It went from being funny to suddenly this serious situation juxtaposed against the still humorous presentation of how Devin performed it. The realization is abrupt, dramatic, but still enrapturing. Love this!
Long time Devy fan here and this is one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen.
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed the hell out of this.
I had the absolute pleasure to see this man live in New York City. One of the greatest musical experiences of my life. A true artist.
Hevy Devy!!!! THE KING OF KINGS OF METAL!!!
My love for Devin is endless.
Holy crap this is crazy
His voice. I've been a fan since way back in the Strapping Young Lad days and it never ceases to amaze me. It's just awe inspiring to see the range and control he has over it
I'm so happy I got to see him do this live a couple weeks ago. It was amazing. Now I just need to see him live with a full band and I can finally die happy. This man is pure genius wrapped up in succulent Canadian Bacon.
Tyler Messer yup it’s amazing,I’ve seen him as syl and Devin, so I’m gonna die happy, also my last song at my funeral is Thing beyond things, with the big scream at the end, I think in my coffin I’m gonna have big grin on my face😄
@@brettkeepin808 That's awesome! I need to make sure I have a stipulation to play some Devin at my Funeral. Now I just need to decide what song. Haha
I think Devin is the modern day Frank Zappa.
Interesting comparison. :)
While they're definitely extremely amazing musicians/composers, I wouldn't really compare them with each other. Both are/were extremely creative and funny, but so unique it wouldn't be appropriate.
Btw, aren't they kinda connected? Wasn't Devin the singer on a Steve Vai album (who was basically discovered by FZ AFAIK?)?
I've often described him as the love child of Zappa and Pavarotti
Mike Patton fits better IMO
If you’re reading this and you haven’t already watched the countless videos of vocal/opera coaches reacting to him for the first time, you should.
The Man is absolutely Beautiful and Brilliant.
I love him so much lol!! He’s such a joy 🤣
Crazy dude. The new album is epic.
This is one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. Love or hate the man's music, he is indisputably talented.
Agreed!
never in my life did I even have the thought of love being played as an acoustic song. why does my brain not work?
I don't know how but i just can't have enough of devin... yes it's funny but i find him to be so pure
he's just fantastic and every time i hear his songs or him speaking i feel better
Love you devin
Im new to Devin only heard maybe 1 or 2 songs and holy crap im only 2 mins in and i have no words to describe this. Ive heard of him and know that hes a funny guy too but screaming like that with an acoustic guitar in such a quiet begining of a song takes commitment and one hell of a voice.
such an amazing talent...
Devin, you're simply the best.
One man and one guitar should not be this entertaining...surreal. Thanks Devy...
Devin needs to be inducted as a VIP in Canada ASAP. He is a national treasure
I love this guy so much!!
That was awesome! Never expected to hear Love acoustic in my life haha. Boosh!
Devin is the man!
Death stare at random audience member 1:30 legendary Townsend
Such a unique brilliant person god bless you thanks for the beautiful outstanding music
Cheers devin
the ultimate frontman
Am I really seeing Love on CBC? what is life aha...
What is love?
baby don't hurt me
No more
It's the song he plays right after Love.
He is playing those songs on almost every show of acoustic evenings.
Saw Devin in London earlier this year...so consistently brilliant - roll on Dec for the Empath tour!
it's about damn time cbc gives Devy some "love'
Loved him since I heard Strapping Young Lad. Love the new haircut since then :P
I love this man.
I want to go to that kind of Devin show immediately
Seeing him perform an acoustic set opening for Avatar next month! Super psyched.
I saw them at Mr Smalls in PA and they were amazing, you won't be disappointed. '68 and Dance With the Dead are awesome too. All around amazing performances.
Hope you enjoy it!
Most beautiful human I have encountered
Devin is the absolute best!
Dev. You make me smile at times when there’s nothing to smile about. Thank you
1:37 psychophat screams of him that makes me wow since 1993
