He is such a ridiculous guitarist, to be singing while playing that sweeping lick. God damn. On different note, you have the great camera views in this video, of which do not show him playing said lick, and barely showing him during his solo. Great job film crew!
SYL remains a classic metal band, but I am also so glad that Devin grew out of it. He was just so unstable at that time, and was essentially always on psychadelics. I bet he could nail the clean singing/sweep picking sections perfectly now. The tradeoff is that he wouldn't want to play it.
For the people mentioning out of pitch singing, do you mean clean vocals or the distorted ones? Gotta give the man a break when he is sweep picking and singing at the same time:)
Listen to him during the DTP era and later, he's never had these types of issues. His poor outing here is more likely to do with him not being sober and not maintaining his voice properly during this period.
@@Oxpost Probably part of it, but he's never written another song where he has to simultaneously sweep pick at this speed and sing, either. For obvious reasons!
The guy with the cap playing the keyboards looks like some random guy got lost and he happened to know the song so they put him there to fill. He seriously couldn't look more out of place lol.
Gabriel Fieste that might not be Dave young, but Dave young(the guitarist for the dtp and keyboardist for the dtb) was in alien on keyboards. Sorry for being a prick lol 😂. Edit:sorry for using that emoji
MUAHAH np, its nice to share knowledge with emojis xD yeah it can be, i dont remember too well cuz i listen just a bit of SYL and a LOT of DTB and DTP hehe
@DemonDays1993 I saw them not too long ago at the house of Blues Orlando & what amazed me was his drummer. The guy has to weigh 250 - 300lbs. He wears combat boots & weights on each ankle. He uses no triggers and his double bass rolls are amazing & relentless. It punched me in the chest. This guy is just amazing
Dana Prescott A person who looks like Devin but brown I can only agree You see Devin is trying very hard and doing very well so i can only agree with people who disagree need to be chopped up.
Derrick GW Indeed he has, but the reason he sounds a bit "off" in this when singing clean is because he had quite a severe cold during this performance.
i was going to give you a thumbs up... but i didnt want to spoil your epic 69 predecending thumbing ups! (appologies for the grammar iv had a skin full) good will to you brother of metal! and keep on 69ing!
@MrUltraworld I have a habit of discovering bands just as they either reform (give or take a year or so) or disband. examples of reforms within a year and a half of discovery: Blur, Refused, At the Drive-In, Limp Bizkit, Primus, American Nightmare, Faith No More, One Minute Silence, (there are more but I'm tired and can't remember them all). Some breakups (notably The Ghost of a Thousand). I discovered SYL only about a month or so ago.
@MrUltraworld Thing is though, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that does his work mainly for money. He's even outright said that he doesn't care that people download his work, he only cares that people listen to it. I'd love for him to return to SYL as much as the next guy, and I ain't necessarily saying never, but it looks unlikely. But there is some mild speculation that there may be a mini reunion at his big 'Retinal Circus' show in London, in October.
@MrUltraworld I don't know, a reunion just for shits and giggles, maybe. Even then the chances for that would be incredibly slim. The reason Dev ended SYL was because it just wasn't his thing anymore, and he still holds that claim to this day. Although, recently he has said that he may be willing to play a select set of SYL songs that still "flow" with him .
@THX256 Right now, he's really putting out a lot of music and touring. I think he's also trying to make some money. For all his popularity, I don't think he made all that much. But if he gets comfortable, I could see him doing it again. a SYL reunion could be a money maker also. So, never say never.
He is such a ridiculous guitarist, to be singing while playing that sweeping lick. God damn. On different note, you have the great camera views in this video, of which do not show him playing said lick, and barely showing him during his solo. Great job film crew!
+CoveringFire do you can make it better? sweepin, sing, scream, guitar solo and breath in same time?
I believe it was meant as a compliment. "Ridiculous" as in "fucking unreal".
i came here to see if he did that bit and sang as well and yep sure did, no short cuts!
SYL remains a classic metal band, but I am also so glad that Devin grew out of it. He was just so unstable at that time, and was essentially always on psychadelics.

He briefly did during one of his twitch streams. It was the one where he explained his riffs and licks.
Death Metality. Yesssss!
2:16 I just can't stop laughing, this man is fucking awesome. He doesn't even miss a note
He has gotten so much better as a vocalist in the last few years. Never ceases to impress.
And each album has been an absolute master piece of musical creativity.
I'm still fucking impressed about this performance and the sole fact that he can sing WHILE sweeping. It's so fucking unreal.
the only song you see gene hoglan strain on
Metal gods indeed. Canadian wholesome goodness.
This is the most fucking metal performance ever
Indeed. Devin Townsend is a seriously underrated musician.
How to be better than everybody else: sound just as good live as you do on the record. Great song, great band, great post.
Fuckin' Jed,all His axes are just beautiful or what.
Devin is such a GREAT entertainer...
For the people mentioning out of pitch singing, do you mean clean vocals or the distorted ones? Gotta give the man a break when he is sweep picking and singing at the same time:)
And without in-ears as well.

@@Oxpost Probably part of it, but he's never written another song where he has to simultaneously sweep pick at this speed and sing, either. For obvious reasons!
I mean he pretty much does a guitar solo over the chorus .. and sings ... yes .. give Dev a break.
All hail the Mighty Skullet!
"Down my fuckin Load babies!" LOL
A Canadian treasure.
Yes! You are Metal Gods!
As a westcoast native, I salute the the deity of Western Canadian Metal!!!
Gene Hoglan fantastico
The guy with the cap playing the keyboards looks like some random guy got lost and he happened to know the song so they put him there to fill. He seriously couldn't look more out of place lol.
InabaPrism That's the current guitarist for DTP if I am correct
Nope, the actual guitarist of DTP was the keyboardist of DTB, as the guitarist of DTB is the bassist in DTP today
I mean, none of them was in SYL :)
Gabriel Fieste that might not be Dave young, but Dave young(the guitarist for the dtp and keyboardist for the dtb) was in alien on keyboards. Sorry for being a prick lol 😂.

2:40 Air guitar baby
Thank you \m/

This is metal. This has keyboards. Keyboards are metal.
Gene you boss 👊
...backing vocals on this track are so sick

nice
I love the crowds face ,mind blown lol
WE ARE METAL GODS!! fucken aye
first time I hear devin not being on the note when he sings, still fucking awesome!! just prouve he's human!
he looks like what would happen if Jonathan from KoRn were to lose a fight with a weedwacker. lol
The only musician that can sing death metal and pop rock, ambiental music, hard rock, and be awsome , also is a awsome guitarist.
But who will be main guitarrist, doing sweep picking and stuff... and who will be the vocalist!?
Devin: Fuck Yes
The 15 dislikes are from people who envy Devins badass skullet 👍👍
Dana Prescott A person who looks like Devin but brown I can only agree You see Devin is trying very hard and doing very well so i can only agree with people who disagree need to be chopped up.
Whats a skullet
He has become a much better singer in concert since this was recorded. Tops in my book!
Derrick GW Indeed he has, but the reason he sounds a bit "off" in this when singing clean is because he had quite a severe cold during this performance.
yuukikun5 Hey, thanks a lot! I didn't think he sounded like this when I saw SYL. Thanks for the info
The main reason he sounds so much better live now is because he stopped smoking weed.
lasoogneypubes I can see that. Oct 7th and I'll see him again in person!
He is Peter Tagtgren From Canada!
I woke up on the wrong side of the head too, lol.
HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHYEAAAAAAHHHHHH!
shou simplesmente shou.
Devin is the man lol!
If there's such a thing as too heavy, these guys were on a journey to find it.
1:11 ;DDD
2:02 HES SO SCARED :D
2006, 2011, 2014? Metal cares not for space and time.
ALMOST stupidly heavy.
ohh damn i like when he smille like a crazy ckiller xd

As far as I'm concerned Gene is God. Holy shit.....

I was watching this video, then about a minute into it Shockwave flash crashed. I guess Strapping young lad is too awesome for it to handle.
@THX256 3 former members will be at Download this year....
Strapping Young La-a-a-a-ad

Not sure about that, Tosin has been doing some pretty cool things lately
There's a dude about two minutes in who looks like he's tripping on acid... wrong place to do that kid!!!
2:01 . I went to download once, It was ok.
I was thinking 2:01 "oh shit, I'm not that hard"
@@arekhautaluoma4276 is that actually you? 😳
@@Crazy3189 Nooonono, that's what I was thinking I'd be thinking...if I was him XD. Sorry, I wish I was him, I never got the chance to see Strapping 😭

Who is singing the Deep "get up" part?
4:11 Liberation
1:06 look! A sombrero.
Devy had a Few drinks before this one I'm guessing
i just owned myself...MAN THIS IS HEAVY AS SHIT

Yeah I didn't even notice that he just had ear plugs in and not the in ear monitors that he normally does. Touche.
that dude at 4:08 is seriously sunburned lol
@Manowar4life1234 probably the most creative guy...period
DO you have a link where I could download this?
WHY WONT IT GO LOUDER!!!
On metalocalypse they based pickles off of him
@THX256 At his regular solo shows, I mean. :P
