Crazy Devin Townsend vid but still the man.

Half way through he starts ranting about wanking while burning up the board, funny shit There are several other vids listed and they are pretty cool as well, it was a total life changer music wise for me when I started listening to Devin. We toss around under-rated way too often but in his case it fits, what he is capable of imo we still have not heard it. Too bad his stuff is way over the heads of the general public.

Just bought Ki, Terria, Ocean Machine, and Synchesta as well since I am really getting pissed at torrents right now.

He is such a freak, how can ya not like him.

Totally agree with ya that its above the general population's head.

He's the man. Devy's looking pretty old these days. Did he hack off the skullet? I LOL'd at the bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep at the end. Thanks for sharing.

One of my favorites. I love his individuality. No one sounds like him.

He's definitely an awesome musician. I remember when I heard the song Gaia for the first time. So badass.

It's like if David Letterman could shred.

Dude, thanks for turning me on to him. He is very very interesting and I must say seems wicked smart. Me like.

 

[Subclavian]

yeah thanks for the link.

Funny dude, I remember some of the old Vai/Townsend vids where they are both ripping and just cracking each other up.

btw, he needs to lose the watch...that's so not cool

Looks like he is no longer with ESP?

What guitar is he playing?

Chad hooked me on him and also Zorren's stuff has huge hevy devy influence, very mad and it shows on alot of his stuff. Nobody imo creates the wall of sound that he does, some say that SNL City is the heaviest album ever created.

 

[rupe]

That was pretty cool. I was digging his tone too

He is with Peavey now.

I would be as well, they treated him like shit when you see guys like hammett with 11 sig guitars and he could not carry Devy's fucking jock talent wise.

I should not be bashing guitarists but fuck it.

Thanks for the post man, Dev kicks bawls. I've had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times and he's a cool dude for sure. He's just as trapped in his own cranium in person as he is on film, I don't mean stuck up, just very much the same and not fake at all. Big daddy Gene is cool as shit too, one laid back mofo.

I was turned on to him back in the mid 90's.
Wild stuff.

The song that sticks in my head is "Oh my Fucking God"
Just had that little 'beat' to it!
