I couldn't agree more. Except I'd be super sad without Devin in my life. Dude quite literally saved my life. Single most talented musician this world will ever know. He's a unique spirit. And I love him dearly.
@@deathmetaldownhiller7874 Lol. Well if Muhammed would stop being "that guy" and follow through with his claims of new material and that the band is still active, it'd probably mean a lot more to the fans. I wouldn't call it a "bandwagon", mainly considering SoP isn't nearly as well known as Necrophagist (which is a travesty in itself) especially to the younger crowd.
I wish I could thumbs this up x1000! Devin is my favorite musician. He has created such wonderful music over the years that I really am thankful for. I’m glad you guys got this opportunity. Can’t wait!
Dude that show at 6:06 was awesome. Some kid in front of me was giving Gene Hoglan the finger, and Gene threw his drumstick at him. Dude dodged it and it hit me in the head. LOL. Miss the Croation for metal, epic times.
I'm such a fanboy Devin is my favorite musician and the guy that made me start learning Guitar. I just love everything he does. From the heaviest riffs to the most beautiful songs THAT'S WHAT I CALL A CROSSOVER MAN
It's amazing that so many of us feel the same way. It's a pretty intimate relationship and it's so beautiful that so many are touched to that degree I look forward to hearing your music Cheers
That earth day has such a unique vibe when playing it... Definitely not as easy as it looks... And too sing a vocal melody over it as flawless as he does. Is why there is only one Devin Townsend... Crazy riff
It's a rabbit hole unlike any other. His music is mindblowingly amazing. I started listening a year ago and I'm still hooked and probably always will be xD
Great video and you guys did great on Earth day, I could tell how much fun you had playing it, very wholesome ! It's also nice of Devin to have selected tracks he enjoys playing rather than going straight up from the jugular, because he didn't pick anything from his Deconstruction's record for example !
I'm kind of surprised Devin didn't putt out the crazy ostinato riff in Genesis at about the 4:50 mark. Wait, I think Devy didn't actually write that one. I think that one may have been Markus Reuter on touch guitar... So glad you guys did this. Devin is such a genuine person and such an awesome crafter of sonic masterpieces.
3:10 that's a crazy epic sound from a bloody clean guitar! But then him playing it with with distortion, I totally hear that's it's clean. Devin's music is such a classic, in the sense that each time you listen to it you hear something you didn't hear before
Hey Claire and Dean. I am so happy to see you. It is heart warming to see how happy you are together. The way you joke and interact together is very entertaining and fun to watch. Your musical career together is obviously a success as well. All the best 🥰❤️
Surprise surprise, it was. I was surprised that Devvy didn't pull any of his super hard sweepy riffs you would have to re-learn how to do from Deconstruction :D
@@daoyang223 Devin could absolutely do that, based purely on his ability to compose music. However, I've read/heard before that he wanted to do that but doesn't really know much about games. That's probably mostly due to the fact that he just can't get into video games himself since he can't keep interest, from what he's said before. He'd rather do something else, something more productive. I believe, he said it feels kinda like wasting time.
This video brought to you by Coleman, Cup Noodles, and Ramuh's Judgement Bolt summon. Devy is rifftacular in the most ripping way, and you two nailed it. Thanks for the strums down memory lane!
claire!!! it's cruise! this channel popped up on my home page randomly, so surreal seeing a homie on youtube like that. these videos rule, super cool to see you and dean having super fun with rad guests! keep crushing homie!!
Heavy Devy. Love this guys music. Awesome stage presence, which is pretty much the same when not on stage. Amazing composer, producer, guitarist, and fuckin ridiculous vocal ability. Whew! Sweating from faning so hard. 🤣🤣🤣
It is super interesting and fun to hear the difference how the riffs sound comparing Devy's reverby tone versus your guys' drier tone. Thanks for sharing!
Devin is my all time favorite artist so seeing him here is something I absolutely did not expect but fuck am I happy. Basically this vid can be summed up as Dean fanboying to Devin and me fanboying over that AND fanboying in general. Beautiful stuff, even more so after that Insane Crow Posse jøke and the god tier editing which just keeps on getting better! Cheers you two and I honestly can't wait to see who appears next. Could be pretty much anybody after this!
Insane Crow Posse shirts now available:
shop.spreadshirt.ca/deanlamb/insane+crow+posse
I was kinda hoping for the logo with the crow holding the hatchet 😅😅
Dean you helped me buy my first guitar 🤟😎
A group of Crows is called a murder 👌 that's pretty metal
I do not think Devin has a clue about Death. Neverthess you are free to insult us.
Dean fanboying to Devin is totally relatable
Came for Devin Townsend, stayed for Dean and Claire. Subscribed. This is an example of when UA-cam works.
8 bit nintendo backing music :)
Same! They're the metal munsters
We don’t deserve Devin Townsend. The man is a blessing to the world.
I couldn't agree more. Except I'd be super sad without Devin in my life. Dude quite literally saved my life. Single most talented musician this world will ever know. He's a unique spirit. And I love him dearly.
How about 4 Levels with Christian Münzner? The guy's been in Necrophagist, Obscura, Spawn of Possession, Alkaloid, Defeated Sanity and more.
I second this, I miss Spawn of Possession.
@@DJTheMetalheadMercenary We're all so past missing Necrophagist, we've all just jumped on the missing Spawn of Possession bandwagon

Shit yes to all that
That guy’s a savage. I’d love to see that.
Devin shook my hand once. I put it on my resume.
Pretty thin resume...
@@DeanLamb He's just being humble Devin smiled at him too.
Same here, got a picture with him.
His hand? He didn’t need it back?? 😏
Duuuuuuudddeesss, Devin is a sick guitar player, not to mention an unbelievable composer. I’m stoked for this!
I now just want Speed 3 to be Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock just playing 400bpm death metal because everyone will die if they don't.
Sorta like call of duty mobile's cranked mode. If you dont kill within a certain time limit...you explode. Lol.
I'd watch that movie for sure
pop quiz a**hole
And Hilary swank.
Im waiting patiently for the AAL Tosin Abasi episode. It’s gonna be the best one yet.
Devin seems like such a wholesome dude.
Literally the most wholesome dude. His behind-the-scenes stuff including his podcast make him even more so.
people who seem that way usually arent
@@auto1nfanticid3 What are you assuming of Devin?
@@auto1nfanticid3 Rubbish, just make that up ?
I've met him 3 times on 3 different tours.
He's always astonished anyone even came to see him - let along talk to him afterwards.
I love him.
Black Dahlia Murder would be a great addition to serie! They have many difficult but interesting rhythm parts
That'd be sick. Brian is awesome
YASS We need to have Brian, hes the riff master
RIP Trevor
I got into tech death very late but started with Archspire. You guys blew my mind. Love from India. Best wishes for the metal couple
That pinch at @ 6:50 literally finished my dinner for me.
I have absolutely no idea what that means

The God himself!
Devin explaining the difference between licks and riffs killed me. "I'm learnin'" lmao
I'm such a fanboy
Devin is my favorite musician and the guy that made me start learning Guitar. I just love everything he does. From the heaviest riffs to the most beautiful songs
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A CROSSOVER MAN
It's amazing that so many of us feel the same way. It's a pretty intimate relationship and it's so beautiful that so many are touched to that degree I look forward to hearing your music Cheers
Dev is the man. I listen to "Kingdom" a lot if I am having a bad day or just because but his SYL stuff kills too. And his new stuff.
Ziltoid the omniscient is great as well
I'm also totally drawn to Kingdom when I've had a bad day
That earth day has such a unique vibe when playing it... Definitely not as easy as it looks... And too sing a vocal melody over it as flawless as he does. Is why there is only one Devin Townsend... Crazy riff
He was really nice, the Deconstruction album has so many incredibly hard riffs.
God, you could do an entire 4 levels for the song Deconstruction on its own haha
@@serrisdaylor1015 You could make a 4 levels video for almost each song off that album
Was really hoping for something from that album it's my absolute favorite
Love the soft focus on Devin that gives him that classic old Hollywood leading lady look. Positively glowing!
"i guess a lick is like a series of notes *bernurnownow* and a riff is like *bowwww* ...im learnin" instant classic
After seeing this episode, this is by far now my favorite UA-cam channel, I love these two and Devin Townsend
Your chemistry is ideal. Such a fun format and adding Hevy Devy to the mix just makes a perfect video. Cheers youse two.
Damn i was waiting for something from Deconstruction for lvl 4 :)
Devin Townsend has the most angelic voice yet can also be so powerful in his fry vocals. I aspire to sing like him.
Totally geeked to see Townsend on
here with you guys!
What a great personality Devin has! Some juicy rifftacular...riffs too. 🥴
Dude has a direct link to my funny bone, I swear if he wasn't such a killer musician he could do comedy, at least as a writer for sure.
Someone is definitely naming their band Insane Crow Posse after this episode. I need to check out more of Devin's stuff.
It's a rabbit hole unlike any other. His music is mindblowingly amazing. I started listening a year ago and I'm still hooked and probably always will be xD
Holy shit you guys got Devin Townsend that guy is like the reason I listen to metal
You guys are always awesome to watch
Yes! Devin did a Strapping riff. Legend.
The suspense before level 4 was amazing!
Super cool Devin decided to be a part of this!
The editing on these videos is so damn spectacular
Great video and you guys did great on Earth day, I could tell how much fun you had playing it, very wholesome !
It's also nice of Devin to have selected tracks he enjoys playing rather than going straight up from the jugular, because he didn't pick anything from his Deconstruction's record for example !
Tbf on a livestream recently he said even he doesn't remember how to play most of Deconstruction LOL
best video to dateeeeeeee
You being excited made me excited.
I had to double read the thumbnail and said "YOOOOOOOO"
Another very nice vid! Enjoyed it a lot! You nailed those riffs! Devin looks like a fun dude!
Very enthusiastic! And reasonably so.
Townsend is fantastic.
Enjoyable to watch this!
Oh shit! the GOAT, hevy devy. I feel like if Dev wanted to give you guys some harder stuff he should have picked something Deconstruction.
THIS is what I've been waiting for. You guys are all amazing
I'm kind of surprised Devin didn't putt out the crazy ostinato riff in Genesis at about the 4:50 mark.
Wait, I think Devy didn't actually write that one. I think that one may have been Markus Reuter on touch guitar...
So glad you guys did this. Devin is such a genuine person and such an awesome crafter of sonic masterpieces.
I don't know if I come here more for the guitar playing or the comedy anymore but both are fantastic.
🌚
6:08 Holy moly, Fear Factory AND Strapping Young Lad in one show? I would do anything for being at that show.
Plenty of great shows at that venue RIP
@@DeanLamb I am from Turkey and I was studying in Vancouver at that time. I was at that show and the whole line-up was amazing.
I saw Baptized in Blood, Goatwhore and Strapping Young Lad at this old beat up bar and it was insanity lol
Listen to Devins podcast. He talks about hanging with Dino and how FF influenced his guitar sound. I think it's episode 2.
@@tomasdoyle1722 will do!
This was so damn cool lol your giddiness was warranted. 4 Levels of Spiritbox when?
Cutest couple on UA-cam who can shred some metal. Instant win.

It always fills my heart with joy to see the chemistry and skill shared between you too. Rock on 🤘
Dude(s), this was pretty sweet and fun to watch. Thank you! Dev seems like such a super cool, humble guy.
I never knew I wanted this until I saw the notification. Omg yes!! Heavy Devy!
As two Vancouver based musicians I bet you were both so fuckin pumped!
I'm pumped for y'all
I never knew I needed this content in my life.
Great score to get Devin on the show. Your videos have definitely leveled up lately. Keep up the great work!
Thanks dude
I know it's not death metal, but i'd love to see a 4 Levels Of Metal with Monuments (John Browne or Olly steele)
Oh yeah I definitely agree, those mf’ers have some crazy riffs, and don’t forget Dean and Claire would have to downpick it all! Lol
Picks have two sides for a reason!
Great job there, buds. Enjoy the heck out of these videos!!
This is going to be a stellar video. Super excited!
Surprise surprise, it was. I was surprised that Devvy didn't pull any of his super hard sweepy riffs you would have to re-learn how to do from Deconstruction :D
Thank you very much for this. Canadian metal for life.
Devin is such a chill dude
Earth Day is the second song I ever heard by Devin. Freaking love that riff.
Very awesome guys. Keep it up.
Ty we will
Watching this video makes me feel soooo much better about my left hand technique!!! Love the vids Dean and Claine, keep it up!!!
So cool to see this. I just finished watching one of Devin's live stream shows and this collaboration pops up
Devin is a great musician that doesn’t take himself too seriously and that’s what makes him even better
Dude's music is great. He doesn't take himself too seriously but I honestly can see him composing music for a video game.
@@daoyang223 Devin could absolutely do that, based purely on his ability to compose music. However, I've read/heard before that he wanted to do that but doesn't really know much about games.

@@OraOraOceanMan movies are great too though. He can do music for like great cosmic horror
Love you guys! Couple goals!! Go go go!
That was awesome. Juicy riffs🤘
Dean is behaving exactly how I would in that situation. The riff from Love? still goes so hard.
This video brought to you by Coleman, Cup Noodles, and Ramuh's Judgement Bolt summon. Devy is rifftacular in the most ripping way, and you two nailed it. Thanks for the strums down memory lane!
claire!!! it's cruise!
this channel popped up on my home page randomly, so surreal seeing a homie on youtube like that.
these videos rule, super cool to see you and dean having super fun with rad guests! keep crushing homie!!
"I'm learning" - Devin Townsend. Me too. Me too.
Awesome guys,loved it.
Heavy Devy. Love this guys music. Awesome stage presence, which is pretty much the same when not on stage. Amazing composer, producer, guitarist, and fuckin ridiculous vocal ability. Whew! Sweating from faning so hard. 🤣🤣🤣
no way! you got devin! amazing
god I love this channel. you two are mega charming
That photo of 10yo Claire nearly made me spit my coffee lmao
I think she was more like 8 but the point still stands
@@DeanLamb And we love her for it.
@@DeanLamb lol that was actually her? Killing it
It's great to see/listen to Devin playing a SYL riff again
Devin Townsend is the Frank Zappa of Metal
Helllll yessss been waiting for this one.
And don't worry Dean,the chocobo theme plays in my head too
Thank you for reminding me that I haven't listened to Love in ages, that needs changing
Great song
Devin ...wow! Congratulations on this
This is great as always!! Love(?) Devin so much. 4 Levels of Wormed? Defeated Sanity?
love that there's a clock on the wall to ruin the illusion of taking a break to answer questions lol
Although I was hoping 'Shitstorm' was the 4th one, this was definitely a satisfying leveling up experience. Ole Chunky Riffs Townsend is inspiring.
Just discovered you guys and you guys rule🤘👊
Cool show!🍻
It is super interesting and fun to hear the difference how the riffs sound comparing Devy's reverby tone versus your guys' drier tone. Thanks for sharing!
V dry
@@DeanLamb v dry ftw
Awesome episode! Still waiting for 4 levels with my favorite band of all time, Be’lakor!
I get so excited every time a new episode is announced. This series is so good. :)
I forgot about this show, I love how the humour has evolved and your chemistry as well. Can’t wait to see your bands again this fall.
Hey thanks Derek!
I love literally every person in this video
Thanks!
Been listening to Devy for just as long he is massive influence for me.
Level 1: (3:10) - Evermore
Level 2: (5:31) - Love?
Level 3: (10:03) Earth Day
Level 4: (15:28) Truth
Love it! I've been a fan of these videos for quite a while, and a Devin Townsend fan for years.
I'm also a fan of Dean's old man cackle.
I literally laugh out loud at every one of your videos. Excellent content you two!!!
I went to that SYL show on that same tour @ The Masquerade in Atlanta Georgia
Was about to head to bed. Saw Devy on 4 levels and had to watch 🤘
Loved the video, great job guys! I remember seeing Strapping Young Lad at Ozzfest. Devin Townsend is by far one of my favorite musicians!
Devins guitar is so freaking beautiful. I dont even play guitar and I want it.
