Vocal Coach Reacts! Devin Townsend Project! Deadhead! Live! - Hudba
Devin's scream has more musicality than the vast majority of singers on the radio today.
If you've got half an hour to fill one evening, treat yourself to the trio of Funeral - Bastard - Death of Music, live at the Royal Albert Hall. Three of my favourite songs of his. DoM especially is very emotional and he just sings, no guitar for Devy on that song.
100% with you on that idea - would be an epic react!!
100% has to be done.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG YES YES YES PLEASE! This combo is BY FAR one of Devin's most powerful, emotional, amazing feats of singing you'll ever hear. Ocean Machine (the album these songs are from) was a very deep album for Devy, and should be considered one of his best ever.
Yeah! I second and third that Lol.
You should definitely check out Devin Townsend - The Death Of Music (Live in plovdiv) It's an incredible song and and absolutely astounding performance. The emotion he puts into it and the way he slowly builds up the song to it's epic and the conclusion is breathtaking.
If you want to hear him without too much fry doing a musical- type song, have a look at Why? which he did live at home during quarantine. It will give you a good insight into his voice
Maybe try Why? from the quarantine shows. For what he can do when he isn't sreaming. Although, I can't promise there won't be screaming too. 😅 czcams.com/video/xsd4ZkFVOHY/video.html
Just watched it :) Still grinning!
the order of magnitude performance is also great
This is EXACTLY what I thought when he SAID THAT!!! Great choice!!!!
Have you heard Mountaintop? Less playful but awesome.
That Xbox camera controller... Holy shit
If you would like to hear him with clean vocals only, I would suggest ih-ah, with Anneke van Giersbergen. It's a completely different style with beautiful harmonies.
Absolutely!I love their harmonies in that.
OK, I just finished watching this reaction video. You definitely need to watch “why?”. He does a lot of belting in his clean voice there. It’s my favorite performance of his because of that.
My fav Band Nightwish
My fav female Singer Floor Jansen
My fav male Singer Devin Townsend
🥰to all for your Music..
Devin absolutely has one of the best scream tones out there, very pleasant to the ear I couldn’t agree more
you should check out Grace or Stormbending next
STORMBENDING, YES!
He showed what he can do without screaming in the song “Kingdom” as well as the song “why?”. I don’t think he screams that much. In the latter song, there’s only one screen and it’s mostly operatic belting. And then his other songs is usually a good mixture of clean and distorted/scream vocals. You always get a good taste of his regular clean vocals which are very powerful and have a great range.
And he was sick during that show.
- I love the way he uses his voice... *click*
- HURRAYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!
He almost certainly has pitched screams. That makes him IMHO something different than the random metal guys. You can really hear it in the Plovdiv version of this song. Look for his cover of bring him home from Les Mis.
Fully agreed that they are pitched screams. But I do wanna say I have heard pitched screams from a few vocalists in the 'core' genres. Take Ben Duerr at the start of this tune czcams.com/video/jYUV-alcPKw/video.html
Awesome reaction, I always love seeing you enjoy what you do so much.
As for Devin songs with less screams, for anyone interested I made a playlist called Devin Townsend Minimum Screams. It's a mix of different genres he covers.
As for Sam, try...
* Why? Quarantine concert - he is his goofy self there, and I know you like that. Order of Magnitude version might also be great, but since it hasn't been released that long ago, might get blocked
* Casualties of Cool - Mountain Top. You'll get to meet Che, a female singer he likes to collab with.
* Bring him home (cover) - my favorite version is the one in Eindhoven. Acoustic, so you can really focus on the singing
* Funeral acoustic version - CBC version, and then check the original version at RAH for comparison.
Met him in glasgow after his gig a few years ago awsome human being.
Stop it with the lesser version of WHY! . For once recommend the studio version. Which holds the essence and perfection of the performance and arrangement.
The music video and Order of Magnitude versions often get blocked. The Quarantine version is perfect to still get a reaction out, also... Sam liked his humor so that's an added bonus. ;)
I love that you describe him as a conduit for music. Very fitting.
Listen to his album Empath where he shows that he has a beautiful singing voice.
For (mostly) clean vocals, I would suggest Supercrush, Spirits Will Collide, or Why. Supercrush was originally one of many duets with Anneke van Giesrbergen, so glorious to begin with, but there are live versions where he goes solo, like @Tuska in 2010 or the online concert he did a few months back for Empath vol 2. Spirits Will Collide is as anthemic as they come and the version he did for his first quarantine show this year is the best showcase, as he sings parts that were choral in the original. Why? is a Disney movie-like number, all clean and operatic - you can either go with the quarantine show or the live video from his most recent tour, where you also get a hilarious audience participation bit...Enjoy....
Everyone is suggesting more Devin that is similar to this song, in style. I would suggest another, very different, style. > Mountaintop < It is a duet he wrote with him singing accompaniment, not lead. It is glorious.
Devin is one of the BEST transmisors if feelings live. Saw him a couple of times in 20 years and will never has enought!
Really glad you enjoyed the ride! I believe Devin was a little under the weather for this show, so it's interesting to see him kind of adjust his approach as he goes. I've seen Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge do the same thing. That has to be really hard for a singer, but I guess working around obstacles is part of being a professional.
If you want to hear a Devin song with no screams at all, I'd recommend his song "Kawaii." Short and sweet with stripped back instrumentation. Been a favorite of mine for a long time.
you should at videos he made on twitch and youtube where he shows how he compose and mix his songs, also his quarantine shows on Twich are hilarious
Such a detailed and professional review, not just "hey he"s good!" haha thanks!
Definitely check out Why? From the quarantine show.... amazing.
The Spirit Carries On from his live performance on Order of Magnitude is incredible. A capella with his backup singers and no fry
I believe Devin has some kind of syndrome where he sees music and notes as colours and shapes. It's one of the reasons he is so unique.
Synesthesia 👍
Couple things
1. Dev has covered Bring Him Home from Les Mis. Highly suggest finding it. It's so good.
2. Dev was sick before this show. I believe he had laryngitis (I very well could be wrong with what he had). Also, this was his SECOND show of the night. He did a full set before any of this. Took a 25-30min break and then jumped right back into another set.
Not a lot of people are seeing this song but Devin covering Bring Him Home from Les Miserables is definitely worth your time
That ia on fact the most beautiful emotional scream out there.
If you are interested in his cleaner outputs, i highly recommend his 'casualties of cool' side project. It's a sort of Country/Americana with mostly clean singing. Try the live version from the Dunlop sessions. Good reaction btw 👍🏽
Please, please, please do his song "The Death of Music" from the same show this song was at. It isn't as insane vocally as, say, Kingdom, but it's a 10+ minute long slow burn that builds for the entire length of the song. Might just be me, but that one *really* hits me in the feels on a really personal level. Just amazing and incredibly moving.
I feel the need to always say this, he actually was suffering from a cold during this...you can hear it a couple times.
Is it just me or did it make his voice sound a bit better?
That’s what we call a Wall of Sound.
Scott @ 2:21: "WHELP I didn't need those eyebrows anyways, thank you, Devin." XD Legendary!
Devin is perfection. Check out Funeral, Bastard, and The Death of Music at the RAH, same concert. This was an almost 3 hour set with him having a cold 🔥🤘💯
Finally! LOVED your reaction on Kingdom.
He is known to say that he screams until he taste blood.
Like many suggested Why? Is a good song with almoust no scream, Ih Ah is more his "normal" voice.
Death of music @ Royal Albert hall, has to be his next song you react to !! Pure vocal performance after 2h1/2 of concert
Deadhead is amazing, but is far from my favourite for what he has made. Even Kingdom, though it's a fun song, is super pulled back and relatively simple compared to his other works.
Of his more dynamic music, Higher is among m favourites. The performance in Plovdiv in particular.
you should try and get in contact with him to do an interview i bet he would be down for it.
Devin: *tears the mic a new arsehole*
YT: yeah, I think that’s fry. 😉👍🏻
Why? from his quarantine performance! I like to think of that song as a damn near full Devin Townsend package.
I honestly think he pitches those screams and those high notes are in his natural mixed voice.i think near the end of the song Devin hits a clear f5. At least that's what I heard. Cheers Sir if you want something different from Devin try Let Him Live from Le Miserables that he covers acousticly with no band. I think you'll love it.
March of the poozers or earth day at royal Albert hall are great songs. You should do one of those next.
Nobody suggests this one but give it a try at "in my dreams with you" he sang that for Steve Vai's band. An amazing tune and it's more of a rock-pop song
Leprous- Castaway Angels better be coming soon!!!
Did you do Strapping young Lad yet? It's his old band. The song Love? Is probably the most popular one
I'm pretty sure he's fry screaming on top of singing also. Phil Anselmo from Pantera does that a lot too.
People say he was sick during this performance as well. can you goddam believe that
devin song with no fry: eh-ah with anneke from the retinal circus.
U should look at the best Female Rock vocals around these days Maria Brink.
Check out either 'Sick Like Me' or 'Big Bad Wolf' by In This Moment
As mentioned many times, if you want a song with less fry, definitely Why from his quarrantine set. Its ALMOST totally clean
Haha so I'm rolling up on my parents place today with kingdom on at the time at many many dB & I just think it's like the neighbours came out 😂
I would love to have a drink with him as well. I reckon he'd be good value. I reckon if you asked he would be open to a chat. You just never know.
Perhaps you would like the song "Why".
Then you should definitely check "Why?" by him, preformed live in his home studio during the pandemic.
Yeah Why ? from the quarinten show good, he really shows off his clean operatic/theatrical vocals and he is absolutely hilarious
And those of us who grew up near Devi understand the “rain” lyrics……
My understanding is that vocal fry can be pitched, and that Devin’s screaming usually is like this. Also, I’m no expert, but when I hear him scream it feels like he’s working with overtones like harmonics on a guitar. It seems like he’s manipulating the shape of his facial cavities and that glottal closure or whatever to create these resonant multiples of his pitch, which lets him produce those extremely high, jet-engine, visceral sounds.
Going to go with what a lot of people are saying and push for a reaction to "Why?" from Devin's Quarantine Show if you want to hear clean vocal Devin. I'd ALSO suggest checking out another duo project that he's one half of, Casualties of Cool. He isn't the primary vocalist there, but it certainly shows his versatility, as it's a kind of Devin take on the country genre. I'd recommend "Forgive Me" from the Dunlop Sessions recording. There's no separate video for just that song that I'm aware of, but the Dunlop Sessions has links to the timestamp for each song in the comments.
What youre describing at 9:13 is what Devin calls a "Wall of sound" and that is a PERFECT example
one time i met devin at a small gonorrhea convention at the gutter of cronedldehyde in gungle park in gromethius' garden but he disappeared before i could ask him to blink into me
There is quite a lot to unpack here.
@@SSTVocalCoach it's better to leave it packed
Can someone explain to me how "Vocal coaches" all over CZcams haven't heard the most iconic voices of recent generations?
Isn't it their job to know these things so they can teach it to people who want to sound a certain way?
Hi!
So, to try and answer your question in as few words as possible: no not really.
I can’t speak for other “vocal coaches” all over CZcams as you put it, but my job isn’t to make anyone sound like someone else, it’s to nurture and cultivate the individuals voice so they are the best version of themselves. There are so many different angles to approach (anatomy, vowel modification, onset’s, body cover, breathing, and on and on an on) that I would cover weeeell before a particular style. That being said, if someone came to me and said “I want to emulate X,Y or Z, I’d take a listen to them as I teach. I don’t have a database of every singer from every genre logged in my head, I’m on a constant musical journey just like everyone else. If we take Devin Townsend for example, every year he’ll be heard by lots of new people. Some will be just getting into rock music, some will listen on recommendation, some will be asked to listen to him to describe his voice on CZcams... and most of the time, people being introduced to a new voice and style of music they like is a very welcoming experience, although you do get the odd snob who scolds you for not discovering them fast enough.
As for the most iconic voices of the generations, that’s a subjective concept. There are likely incredible Musical Theatre vocal coaches who have never heard great rock singers. Does that impede their ability to teach? I’d argue that it doesn’t. Likewise, a great rock vocal coach may never have heard some of the jazz greats, doesn’t mean they can’t teach effectively.
I focus on what’s happening anatomically while singing, so I have a keen interest in hearing a myriad of voices that covers many genres, but I listen to a lot of Neo Soul and Jazz in my spare time, so I just don’t run into many of these folk outside of CZcams.
Not sure if that answers your question (or if it even was a question you were actually wanting answered), but that’s my 2 cents ✌️
@@SSTVocalCoach very well put 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@SSTVocalCoach Hmm... Still feels like, if Gordon Ramsay didn't know what ice cream tasted like. Then tried to school me on taste. Maybe a vocal coach is more like, the fridge. Just keeps it from going bad.
I'm hungry...
@@HalkerVeil it’s more like Gordon Ramsay not tasting every single brand of ice cream, I doubt he has, doesn’t mean he can’t critique the balance of flavours once he does.
Now I’m also hungry 😂
I dont know when you are gonna listen to

Not forever though 🤘 he’ll go back to it
If you want something faster and a bit more brutal.. check out the song 'Aftermath' from Download Festival 2006. It was with his band 'Strapping Young Lad' back when he had a skullet. czcams.com/video/8kHKo_lsvsM/video.html
React leprous - castaway angels the new version!! You is very good, keep reaction
Devin creates his fry in his sinuses, not his throat. Thats how he can fry in proper pitch.
My heck. Your accent. Yes please. I'm subbing just for that. I mean, not only for that... anyway.
Your reaction's good too.
Your accent! AH!
actually Devon's screams do have tone. Its a different technique from the typical pure fry scream. There are a few bands who use this kind of screaming, but it isnt the most common because it is dangerous if done incorrectly.
You might want to change your opinion that fry screams have no tone behind them. Dev will fry scream any note you throw his way. He even has a massive pitch shift to his final scream.
I'm confused, my understanding of "metal" screaming is that false cord was the one that has no real tonality to it but fry was just adding distortion to your regular singing? Not a musician or singer so describing my point is a little hard, hope that came across somewhat.
just needed to add that he had a cold during this gig
Why or maybe some of his Casualties of Cool?
Good....good...but where is Anneke?
You could make a significant down payment on a new house with what you'd pay for that Framus Guitar he's playing.
Plss React New Cover Joy To The World By Katrina Velarde❤️🤗
you might enjoy the music better with some good quality over the ear headphones.
-Um. Someone in the audience has a puppet.
There were lots of puppets in the audience! They had Ziltoid puppets for sale at the gig.
My mate puts Ziltoid on his Xmas tree every years. His kids have grown up loving it!
@@madjock-hy7th Ohhhhhh. This explanation puts me at ease.
Look up Ziltoid on CZcams, e.g. ZTO and you'll know what it's about. It's kind of an alter ego for Devin, where he plays an alien looking for the ultimate cup of coffee. He made a concept album after getting his kid, played all the instruments and mixed it himself. It's basically a puppet show, inspired by The Dark Crystal. He even kept his cut off dreads from when he was younger and stuck it on the puppet.
I found a link for you: czcams.com/video/EXEA9SXuS-8/video.html
Please note: it's got some adult humor in it, not suitable for everyone.
@@Zhgarr i have that album, and i recognize Ziltoid, i just didn't know they were provided at the venue. i thought an audience member got VERY enthusiastic.
