“Pick a tempo” was about trying to get them clapping in time. That’s why he went up the top and clapped. You can see him exchanging an eye roll with the drummer.
@Dan Ryton sounds about right for devy most aggressive Canadian I've seen that doesn't have a job on ice skates.
Yup, this always makes me laugh :)
The eye roll kills me! Punking his own audience - and they love him!
Devin Townsend is the Genre
This song is a masterpiece! This performance especially, absolutely brilliant. I never get tired of listening to this version.
Neither do I
Hi.
I'm Markus from Germany.
I love this version of DEADHEAD.
Devin Townsend IS a very Well known guitar Player for years.
I am a guitar player myself.
Devin was not on my list.
And I did not know, how great He can sing.
Until I SAW this Royal Albert Hall recording.
You have to listen to Funeral, Bastard and Death of Music all sung back to back at Royal Albert Hall as well. You wont regret it!
the trinity
Devin Townsend - metal musical maverick! Almost his entire discography is in the upper echelons of what metal can sound like. He's released music as Devin Townsend, Devin Townsend Band, Devin Townsend Project, Strapping Young Lad, Casualties of Cool and spread over three decades and about 27 albums. Deadhead is from Accelerated Evolution by The Devin Townsend Band.
Agreed. The man is a legend. He's a God. He might as well be a myth too. But I'm also super pissed. I pre-ordered the Devolution Series #2 live show that I also bought a ticket for and watched when it happened. Ordered back in May. Was supposed to be released June 25th. Got pushed back to July 20th. Finally shipped. Was supposed to be here 2 days ago and the post office must have lost it. Been no updates on tracking since the 22nd. Been waiting for this for so long. Such a good show.
@@xMRxZEROx oh no!!! I watched this too, and also bought it as a prerelease and have had it about a month now I guess! The dvd is good, but I’ve also got it on vinyl. That’s where it shines! Hope it turns up soon!
@@JimNewstead Thanks man. Me too. I've been eagerly awaiting it so I can blast it in my car and subject my town to the wonder of Devy yet again. 🤣 Hopefully if USPS lost it I can get a new one sent for free. Not that I wouldn't gladly pay again. But I shouldn't have to.
Didn't he also sing for Steve Vai? I think I'm remembering that right.
@@lasagnasux4934 That he did.
Fun fact: He was recovering from a cold when he performed this very concert.
ah that explains it... (jk)
Doesn't sound like fun at all.
Yes. Although this is a go-to 'react' video, its actually not his best vocal performance due to said germs :(
The vocals at Plovdiv are fantastic and I saw him perform Deadhead live in London (just before all this Covid pain-in-the-ass) and I thought that was a better performance still.
Devin is a brilliant Canadian musician. Starting out singing for Steve Vai's band and then founding Strapping Young Lad... his most aggressive and angry material by far. Going under different names for different styles... Devin Townsend, The Devin Townsend Band, Devin Townsend Project... He blends theatrics and puppetry into many of his iterations and is just an all around amazing performer.!
Devin is pretty unique, but his music typically falls into the “Prog Metal” genre. Devin is indeed incredible live. He’s also a very sought after music producer.
Somehow I stumbled across your video, and I'm glad I did, it made my day. It's a dreary Monday evening, cold and rainy here in Washington state USA. I've seen this clip of Devin a zillion times, Devin is a special soul for sure. BUT seeing your reaction, hearing your compulsive comments and facial reactions - you helped me appreciate this song all over again, thank you! It was just a pleasure seeing you discover this song and the man. AND it appears all of your videos are over a year old, nothing released in 12 months? Maybe you've quite. Just know this 64 year old man would love to have your hair vs my bold head, ha... but that's life now ain't it!
His performance of “Grace” at the Roundhouse (the Retinal Circus show) is great, but my favourite is “Supercrush” live with Anneke van Giersbergen, which I think you might like too - it’s in a smaller club setting.
So it says this video is from a month ago, but it just popped up today in my list, and I check daily for Devin reactions lol To get a good take of his opera side, Kindgom live from Emgtv, or him singing Bring Him Home from the Les Miserables soundtrack. But arguably his best vocal performance is from this same concert, The Death of Music, Live at the Royal Albert Hall version. You're right in that the album versions aren't as good live, and with Devin that couldn't be more true. Cheers!
Hey FYI, he's coming back to the Royal Albert in April.
I love this live version, and your reaction to it is one of my favourites to watch... And every single time when you say, "imagine if he fell down the stairs" I laugh so hard! Oh the imagery! Brilliant reaction, and thank you for often brightening my day. :)
This is called progressive metal. Check out Devin's old band Strapping Young Lad. EXTREME METAL! Cheers!
All hail the Skullett
Wonderful reaction Yaz. Always great to see people on here hearing and seeing Devin got the first time. I genuinely loved your reaction to this. You seem like you have a sincere passion and love for live music . Devin is a living legend. My other half always says he must be an alien with his insane vocal range ever since I introduced her to his music (she used to sing in a choir). I'm old enough (and lucky enough to have seen a wide and diverse range of bands and artists over the last 33 years since I was 15 in 1988 (My first gig was right down the front of the old NEC in Birmingham for Iron Maiden). I love the Deftones too and have done for 25 years now, but I wouldn't class Devin in the same genre and as much as I love Chino Moreno, his vocal range is not a patch on Devin's. It's a big rabbit hole to get into with Devin as he has covered so many styles with that voice. Incidentally, if you want to hear his music sounding a lot more more heavy and intense then check out his Strapping Young Lad stuff from the mid 90's to around 2005 ish. It's fecking nuts and so damn heavy!
Devin Townsend really sells his live performances. The original has a similar vibe, but not on the same level. He originally released the song in 2003.
Unfortunately, Devin Townsend Project no longer exists. The good news is that Devin Townsend as an artist has been making a ton of music over decades.
Since this performance, I think he's come out with 2 albums since this performance in 2015. Both are a journey to listen to. He's got a double album planned to be out this year, with another expected late this year or early next year.
There are plenty of older performances to recommend before getting to his newer work, but if you're interested in a more recent song that includes some of his guitar chops, you should check out the live performance of Failure at Plovdiv in Bulgaria. It's from his Transcendence album from 2016. It's good vibes.
Devin's ultimate vocal video is the "kingdom love for emg tv". I think he classifies himself as "upper middle tier prog rock."
It should be said that this is an 'older song' from back in 2005 off an amazing album called Accelerated Evolution.
Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend, Devin Townsend Project, Devin Townsend Band. Staples of my listening and gigging for some 26 years now. If you've not had Dev on your radar before then wow, you've got a glorious rabbit hole to have fun with.
The T-shirt that the other guitarist is wearing is from a band called Shinning from Norway who played jazz metal.
Love how much you genuinely got into this as i did the first time
Ah, just stumbled across your reaction to this on a random post-pub Friday. Feels like introducing a mate to something you love, even though it's a weird one-sided chat 😂
Also Team Sleep, Deftones and NiN shout out. *Chef's kiss*
I really enjoyed watching the second verse. Your face, we watched you fall in love.
Check out Devin's song Higher Live at Plovdiv
just came across your reactions. really enjoying them. love me some devin townsend and jinjer reactions. dont worry about not having the words to describe things, we all can see in your facial expressions what you mean to say. it has been a bit since you posted any reacts here, but here is a fan and here is one person who hopes you get back to it.
He’s such a master of his art.
Loving your enjoyment of this. He’s a fantastic musician and composer and well worth a further look. His solo acoustic stuff is amazing too.
You want to look up one of his "earlier" bands - Strapping Young Lad - album called City is beyond brutal - Devin is a total genius!
The guitarist is wearing a shirt of the Norwegian band Shining. They play some crazy "black jazz" metal with saxophone.
His Band Strapping Young Lad is one of the heaviest bands ever to stalk the earth. He produced Lamb Of God's album As The Palaces Burn.
Listen to Bastard from the same show, gives you the same wow factor ;) But there is a lot more.. ;)
"Which song should I listen to next?"
"Yes"
The shirt was a Shining shirt for their Black Jazz album.🙂👍🤟
Devin Townsend Project as a band is no more, BUT, Devin Townsend still plays the songs from the DTP records at his live shows and they're every bit as good for sure. I went to the last show he did before COVID cancelled all the shows, and they had stuffed animals (including the Pikachu I brought) all over the stage.
Ive probably watched your reaction to this maybe 50 times. First and foremost youre stunning but that speechless look of awe you have when he does his last 3 epic screams gets me everytime
Fun fact. Devi is Canadian. Mike Meyers is Canadian. Mike Meyers did the Austin Powers movies. He wanted an accent that no one could figure out for Dr Evil - it’s a Canadian accent.
Devin Townsend, back at the Royal Albert Hall, April 2022. See you there :D
Devin Townsend will be back in London at the Royal Albert Hall on April 16th and 17th next year....
If I may suggest, listen to the trilogy Funeral, Bastard and The death of music from the same Royal Albert Hall concert
or from the Plovdiv concert.
lol even the camerman fell over slightly at the end haha
Felt the same first time i heard him. Amazing.
It's a "Shining" shirt (from norway). Pretty decent band as well
Love your vibe
devin townsend and project are phenomonal. kingdom live for emgtv a must. heavy devy see love from his strapping young lad days. his performances are ethereal
Hello fellow reactor! We also have reacted to this and Devin Townsend haha 😹🤘. great reaction! Rock on! 🖤🖤🖤
Oh, and your Deftones comment made me realize for the first time that there's definitely a similar feel to "Digital Bath" in parts of this song, which is awesome. What a "vibe" track that is.
Yes fucking talent!!!
07:20. "Pick a tempo." Some people were clapping on the 1 & the 3; others on the 2 & the 4. It was kind of a running joke with his drummer. 🤣🤣
Nine Inch Nails! Thank-you! That damned t-shirt has been stuck in my mind for a year!
Devin Townsend is the single most brilliant musician on the planet.
you should do his acoustic version of this "Live in Leeds 2019". Unreal talent.
He's the Deadpool of metal. Pretty much makes fun of metal and how easy it is to get people hooked. And isn't ashamed to milk it.
Only got to see him 2tes once with SYL and 4years ago de never comes to Florida so if I wanna see him again gunna have to Trek to England
Please look at his live performance of "Kingdom".
You would love death of music by devin townsend it's from the same show and it's unreal. It's absolutely haunting
Putting Devin in a genre is tricky - he is so versatile, from new age/ambient to pop, country, rock and extreme metal. He's a genre in itself: DevyMetal ;)
You seemed to really dig this type of song, so in that same vain try Death of Music at RAH, it's from the same concert. Higher at Plovdiv is another great suggestion for DTP. If you want something on the other spectrum of his music, try Casualties of Cool - Mountaintop (Dunlop Sessions), Quarantine Project - Why? or Strapping Young Lad - Love?
I really fucking enjoyed this reaction. Thanks!
You are literally the only person other than me, who has uttered "I love this a fuck-ton"
That was a different Devin song. But I think we just bonded a little...you're just finding out now.
POWER!
Genre ? It's Open-C-Metal
(sorry...guitarist joke)
Devin is a very intelligent, very humorous, very much the observer-of-things..
I want to see him live as well.
"Imagine if he fell down the stairs..." Intrusive Thoughts with Yaz. :')
This song is like a hot bath.
Devin Townsend has been involved in a number of "bands" The Devin Townsend Band, The Devin Townsend Project, Casualties of Cool, Strapping Young Lad, and his solo stuff. Something like 26 albums at this point in 2021. His output spans many spectrums. From atmospheric (almost like Enya) to country/vibe, to the heaviest of heavy metal. Most of his stuff is in the prog metal genre. Devin is impossible to button hole. Devin is planning and might have scheduled a European/British tour.
As far as I know, Britain is one of the places he does really well. There are several live shows from London. The Ziltoid Royal Albert, The Retinal Circus and By a Thread. Each epic in their own way. His live shows are better than the studio versions. The most recent is Ocean Machine - Plovdiv.
You’ve done one Nightwish…. Between Devi and them, you’ve only touched the surface of a whole world. Devi can introduce you to Anneke, she can take you to Ayreon and Arjen, that launches you in multitudes of directions, Simone and Epica, more Nightwish, Tommy and Kamelot which links Elze and Alissa, Amaranthe and Arch Enemy….. Hansi, Michael, on and on, just the entrance to the rabbit hole….
Head is never bad
I know I'm late but he was in Strapping Young Lads and also was the vocalist for Steve Vai. If that helps your genre quandry then cool.
And am too lazy to read all the comments to see if I copied someone.
And also - Kingdome
Devin's a legitimate music-genius. He's just DT now, after the DTP phase ended; which was after the 'Strapping' (mental!!/metal) days.
If you want chills (there multiplying! :) ) then go check out ' Failure ' live at Plovdiv ... or 'Higher' at Plovdiv for an emotional roller-coaster.
The genre is Townsend.
A great artist who always surrounds himself with excellent musicians.. he also manages to kill it solo. If you like things a bit keener go back to the nineties and early 00's with Strapping Young Lad.. all great stuff but the albums "Heavy as A Really Heavy Thing" and "City" are absolute.
Those eyes though. ❤😍❤
Nice reaction! You should react to "why" quarantine show and "Kingdom" EMG version. Both epic!
"What genre is Devin?"
"Yes."
Devin is a genre of his own Lol.
You say that this wows you
Devin is my favorite artist of all time. He's a good shoehorn into the amazing genre of progressive metal.
If you want to see unbelievable talent, you should check out Ne Obliviscaris, my favorite band. Their most popular video to react to seem to be "As Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" live in Colorado. 2016 I believe. Absolutely unbelievable band, and the guys were so great and down to earth to have a conversation with. Everyone who watches them is always floored.
I'm late to this party, but Devin sits square in the prog metal category...except this is closer to something like symphonic/epic doom metal to me. If you like this, check out the title track from Opeth's Blackwater Park; it's a similar big, epic, slowish paced prog metal song. Once you've done that, branch out further into Opeth and go down the prog metal rabbit hole...
The guitarist is wearing a Shining shirt, which a Norwegian Black Jazz band and should really be checked out.
He's so varied it's never a question of if you like Devin, but when. Just have to find the right Devin for you. Grace (retinal Circus), Death of Music, Higher are some of his most enjoyable tunes and if you fancy real heavy devy check out strapping young lad his early metal band, Love? is a good introduction. Shall be watching him at Bloodstock in 2 weeks...cannot wait!
Welcome to Devy-land. You should check out his song Genesis live next. It’s so all over the place.
Damn it! I've fallen in love again lol
Devin townsend plays the devin townsend genre of music, it's a bit of everything really. He has a strange and yet intriguing fascination with showmanship, which often translates into an almost carneval or theatre kinda vibe. He often has an upbeat vibe in his songs, compared to this one.
You should check stormbending by him also! I think you’ll like that too
You’re the ONLY person I’ve watched that mentioned Deftones which I totally get! Just be prepared because he’s vast in sound. It’s different song to song. He’s just that damn good
NIN = Indrustrial
Deftones = Nu Metal
Heavy Devvy = the guy who throws the conventions of the metal genre out the window
Miss your vids. Hope life is treating you well.
love your style and your reactions. i watch reactions to his music so much im so in love with this song. please react to jinjer
Fantastic reaction. Devin doesn't really stick to one style of music - he's got jazzy stuff, electronic EPs, a blues/Americana side project, extreme metal, and symphonic stuff. Oh, and a polka song. Not to mention an amazing Disney Musical-esque number, "Why," which I highly suggest for its hilarity and virtuosity.
So kingdom is next...then grace...then Strapping young lad..love?
You should have asked Wyzzy, I'm sure he would've been more than happy to introduce you to Devin! :p
Space Metal (a new genre invented by Devin)
If you wanna explore his albums, his most... "complete" as a whole as far as quality goes and overall enjoyment would probably be "Transcendance".
His "Ziltoid the omniscient" is a very unique and interesting concept too but way heavier and weird, then he kinda goes all over the place, it's really hard to recommend one in particular because either he goes more instrumental in albums like "Terria" or "Synchestra" which has a few bangers that I love, either he goes more pop rock with Anneke on a few albums as well (female lead singer), either he goes country with Casualties of cool, either he goes completely bonker and chaotic with Deconstruction or Genesis, ...
I'd say Transcendance would be your best first album as far as studio versions go !
Heavy Deavy is its own type
Shihad is the band on his shirt.
As for wowness lol, check out his retna circus, that's amazing
It's actually SHINING, a band from Norway.
@@FlyinyourSoup ok cool, thanks for that. This whole time I've had it wrong lol
He is Canadian.
You should definitely listen to Strappin Young lad. His old band and give "Love" a try. Even better if it's the live version.
ill take you to a gig
Can you react to the Song All Hail The New Flesh by Strapping Young Lad? It was Devin first Band before he made Devin Townsend Project 😊
Yes music has to.
It wowed me
One can see it in your eyes and in your face.
And does not only wow one.
It is musically, technically so well done.
And that why you smile all the time I guess.
Great reactions, very good video of yours.
Did you ever did one of Comfortably numb of Pink Floyd?
It us really different music.
But progressive Rock
You said you're not into festivals but Devin and Jinjer are playing Bloodstock in a couple of weeks. Try for a media pass as it's sold out
its metal.
Deftones + Tool + Strapping Young Lad = Devin Townsend
