  • I started off organically pleased at the vocal beast Sir Devin. Then the emotion from deep down in my soul shot inside me and I was a mess. This is what happens when technical meets emotion.
    ps I later regained consciousness

    OG VIDEO : • Devin Townsend perform...
    Love you all. Thanks for all the love : )
    A little bit about me..
    Rebecca is a passionate Singer-Songwriter/Vocal coach/mentor /impressionist/photographer/creative junkie /self- development lover not a hater.
    “I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well, maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2016. However, despite not being able to walk for a few weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and try to practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…we are all specks of dust…Also, thank you for all your support. It means a lot. I have suffered from anxiety from the past and self-confidence, (yeah hard to see now right) didn’t think I was ‘good, or worthy enough’ but I feel I have a new lease of life, don’t really care as much and want to show you guys what I have! : ) You are all awesome and without you, there would be no channel.

      Since I discovered Devin, I've already listened to a few DTP albums on Amazon music, of which I've bought in CD format Sky Blue and Transcendence. I also have seen some live videos of him with Anneke. I loved her voice since the first album of the The Gathering, she fits so perfectly with DTP songs... (I love specially Fallout).

    Devin was discovered by Steve Vai and he was the lead singer on the 1993 album Sex & Religion. Devin has reincarnated himself many times since then with Strapping Young Lad, the Devin Townsend Band and the Devin Townsend Project. He has also done a lot of producing as well as appearances as both vocalist and guitarist on many other artists' albums. In the end he is revered as a musical genius and has done albums from Ambient to Metal. As I am sure that you have found out, his fans are extremely loyal!!

    As you noted, Devin is a singer of rare talent, and also a great guitar player, and a born showman. And a lot of his songs are heavily laden with tons of emotion. The EMGtv version of Kingdom is, in my opinion, the single best introduction to his work. But if you delighted in what you saw here as much as you seemed to, just for your own enjoyment, not even so much for the channel necessarily, I cannot sufficiently recommend his video called '"Grace" (The Retinal Circus) Official Promo Video
    ', on his own official Devin Townsend
    youtube channel. He shares the stage with his long-time collaborator Anneke van Giersbergen (whom he got to know because she recorded a cover version of one of his songs that impressed him enough to contact her), and the video is worth checking out just on her merits - but on top there's still Devin and a whole little choir because the song is as close to a heavy metal church hymn as one is likely ever to find.

      @@njh0183 You're thinking of his Live at the Royal Albert Hall performance. The Retinal Circus was a very different beast. Obviously though both are great. Deadhead just has like... four and a half minutes of pure instrumental in the middle of it, which from a vocal-centric point of view is dead air. For specifically vocals from the Live at the Royal Albert Hall performance my suggestion would be The Death of Music - from low whispering to that absolutely insane crescendo.

    Yay! Now here's the thing, the difference between this and one of his performances with one of his bands, like the Royal Albert Hall gig that everyone always recommends, is MASSIVE. The atmosphere is out of this world and it'll be a different level of experience, truly. My personal favourite song is "Deadhead" which also happens to be what everyone usually recommends but "Death of Music" and "Bastard" are incredible too.

    I find it so strange that so many women react this way to Devin Townsend (and metal in general). Metal music used to be so "uncool" years ago, but now people really get the opportunity to dive in and appreciate it, for both its technicality and emotion. Devin can be emotionally genuine without being sappy (like most of today's pop music). Unless he wants to be totally sappy. I wonder if Devin knows he's a sex symbol?

    • @BuzzaB77
      @BuzzaB77 Před 5 lety +5

      That's 'cause metal became a about virtuosity instead of honest expression, then later it was 'bought' by major record labels, industrialised, labelled "nu metal", and churned out like boy band pop with rap and shouting added. Only independents like Dev that never touched a major truly survived.
      Also Dev is probably one of the only metal artists to call BS on singing about 'non masculine' subjects like love.

I'm glad he's finally getting the recognition he so richly deserves. Strapping Lad was the beginning the of DT Journey but I think that band and it's genre boxed him in and he knew it and went solo when it had run it's course. The guy is simply electric.
