LMFAO. So true. And I love that he makes the references in later work about how "it was all too much for the Alien". Which I believe was on the New Black album.
City is like a shot of adrenaline right into your balls. If aural insanity was a living breathing thing it’d look like a copy of city. It’s the best strapping album and one Townsend’s best releases period.
@@coincrazy9338 hahaha, yeah. He was trying so hard to hold back the excitement, but yeah, hinted everything but the company. And yep, you did figure it would be Meinl. Solid.
Got to know Devin with this exact Song. Loved it from the start for it's particular sound and melodies. Right after that Ocean Machine was released, and well, you can imagine, that one really left a mark
Blew my mind when I first heard this way back! Fantastic!! Maybe cover 'detox' or 'the complex' too! Crank it up! 🤟 PS It was an honor 🎖 to share a joint with Gene H after a SYL show in NY! A Drumming Legend! 🤟
@Mike Cranston have you read Devin's posts the past week? The line up has already been set for the 1st and second phases of the tour. Now the 3rd phase which according to Devin will be mostly non metal stuff and I don't really see Sam firing into that set up. The final stage according to Devinwill be Empath performed in it's entirety. I can see Sam appearing in that format but that is a ling ways of. Trust me I would rather see Sam on the north amerocan leg but as of now it doesn't look like that will happen.
@@mauricewanink1452 morgan Agren is the drummer for the euro legs volume 1. Dirk Verbeuren for volume 2. That's what's been announced so far. I'm really hoping Sam will be doing some of the shows. But he hasn't been announced yet.
literally one of the best albums. SYL were so solid all of their work stands the test of time as some of the heaviest shit ever. i crave SYL's on stage antics and animosity. just so good
OMG Thank you for cover SYL! Do more! Love Devin during this era. Still love him but I was there back then when these albums were released and was so amazing.
Dude, @66samus, in February my twin boys were born. Coffee and Empath kept me going driving back and forth to the hospital etc. So that lead me to your videos here. I watched them during the long nights looking after my boys (with headphones on obvs). Kept me awake!!! Also inspired me to practice blast beats with my feet to rock them to sleep. It worked! So thanks for your help raising my sons during their vulnerable stage. 😂🤣😂
Gene is rolling in his grave that he isn't in yet. Lol this is the shit I'm talking about. Grew up on City, so glad it's still appreciated these days, what with the influx of mega-tech-grind-slam-brutal-shoegaze music thats just keeps trying to out do itself. Great vid Sam.
@ 66Samus the Meinl Sound fits your setup very very well ( even better than your old Zildjian setup which sounded already great ) Congrats man and good choice...now I love you even more👍🏻
Well Zildjian is mad now... They never realized that Sam deserved an endorsement already 4 years ago or even when he played "The Dance of Eternity" PERFECTLY! I am so happy he has a good endorsement now! :) Thumbs up for you, Sam SEX!
Gotta ask, how long time did it for you to learn this song? I mean, from the first time you sat down at the kit until you nailed it the first time. How many times do you play it before recording a video of it. And lastly, i read the difference between an amateur and a pro is this: An amateur practises until he gets it right. A pro practises until he can't get it wrong. Would that be a philosophy you agree with?
@@bjornlakenstrazen2186 Dirk is only playing the cruise ship gig, as far as we know. Dev said the cast may rotate out, so Sam still has a shot. Up to Dev.

66Samus what made you want to change from zildjian to meinl?
Sex, you deserve that endorsement! When will Pearl send you a nutty Masterworks kit? :D
What made you change them?
@Dominik Leyja he found better sounding more modern cymbals
Glad to see you with Meinl ! You deserve it Dude ;)
That album is clearly my 'when you need something stronger than coffee but less the cocaine'
Well said. Me too, along with Alien. Although, Alien is pure cocaine
LMFAO. So true. And I love that he makes the references in later work about how "it was all too much for the Alien". Which I believe was on the New Black album.
lol.. awesome
When NIN is too slow and cybergrind is too fast, SYL is perfect.
Great Preworkout this Strapping Young Lad
Congratulations on the Meinl deal! Welcome in the family 👌🏼

Dude congrats you deserve it!! Meinl is such a badass brand 🤘
They are sweet!
The first SYL song I ever heard? And shiny new Meinl cymbals?
OH YURR
After hearing your incredible work on Empath, I always wanted to know what it would sound like if you performed on SYL's stuff. Now I know. Great job!
I can't believe more people didn't put together your hints. All the excitement. I just didn't know which company. Sex. Loving it.
nailed it! MEINL! ;)
@@coincrazy9338 hahaha, yeah. He was trying so hard to hold back the excitement, but yeah, hinted everything but the company. And yep, you did figure it would be Meinl. Solid.
Timorus Metus where was he hinting at it?
Live drum streams, twitch game streams, voice chat... everywhere but privately, really. Hahaha
Timorus Metus oh lol
"Well, gentlemen, a great deal of money has been invested into this project and we can't allow it to fail... fail.. fail.. fail"
Nice. I've always wondered what the source of that sample was.
the beat starts here...
@@spicyoctopus I believe I read somewhere that he recorded that in a meeting with Century Media (his record label)
@@guerilla6460 lol there's no way that's true. I've heard that as well but that makes absolutely no sense.
@@kekag Knowing Devin it probably is true

Yeah Ocean Machine was a game changer - intense and heavy - but Double Dipped in Devin's melodic awesomeness! 🤟
Devin just posted this on his FB page.. Congratz. Love SYL. \m/

I see you're studying a lot for the upcoming tours with Devin ;)
Would be awesome to see, but Devin already has a drummer picked out.
@Mike Cranston nope. Dirk is the north american drummer.
Witch Sam, Witch h Dirk? Who is the European drummer?

One of my fav tunes!!
Such a phenomenal band, album and song!! Bet Devin is gonna love seeing you play a cover of this after working with him!!
Just listened to this album the other day. What a masterpiece.
Great cover, man. You really nail that Gene Hoglan funk here.
Giant blast steps...
Giant steps with blastbeats
You do realize that Giant Steps is originally 300 BPM, right? XD
BeardedDanishViking
Of course
HOGLAN FTW!! Nice way to introduce the "new" line-up.
OMG Thank you for cover SYL! Do more! Love Devin during this era. Still love him but I was there back then when these albums were released and was so amazing.
This is my favorite snare sound of yours yet.
Because of the live performances; whenever I hear this song, I can't help but picture Jed swinging his guitar around!
A fuckin' masterpiece of a song.
One of my favourite metal songs of all time. That mini blast at 4.25 into the final chorus is just sublime.
You can never go wrong with SYL. Fucking awesome work!
@1:40-2:00 has always been some of the most beautiful metal I've ever heard.
Russian5 I think you mean 0:10-5:28 right?
My all time favourite strapping song. You killed it dude!!
From 3:11 to 3:28 - talk about adding your own flair to the snare drum 🥁 - that’s fantastic!!!
Dude,I watch your videos and you NEVER cease to fucking amaze me! You are a god behind the kit,we are not worthy,all hail 66samus!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
If there were to be an SYL reunion, you’d be the perfect formula for the band, not letting down Gene Hoglan tho he’s a monster as well! 🤘🏼
Dude, @66samus, in February my twin boys were born. Coffee and Empath kept me going driving back and forth to the hospital etc. So that lead me to your videos here. I watched them during the long nights looking after my boys (with headphones on obvs). Kept me awake!!! Also inspired me to practice blast beats with my feet to rock them to sleep. It worked! So thanks for your help raising my sons during their vulnerable stage. 😂🤣😂
2:50 - Greatest groove metal riff ever.
I Love Meinl Cymbals. They are awesome and the way they sound just making rock and roll, metal, and pop rock sound so good
Samus covering Mean Gene the Drum Machine - never clicked 'like' 3 times so fast in my life!
I love that song. Great job!
This song has a real fear factory thing going on besides the vocals.
this song outsongwrite whole FF discography.
k
@@ScrewDJ_McDuck No.
Watching you play makes me happy.
This is the song that got me into metal. New cymbals sound killer too Samus. Fucking yurrr.
If you touch SYL as a drummer, there is only one song: Skeksis!
Gene is rolling in his grave that he isn't in yet.
Lol this is the shit I'm talking about. Grew up on City, so glad it's still appreciated these days, what with the influx of mega-tech-grind-slam-brutal-shoegaze music thats just keeps trying to out do itself. Great vid Sam.
I have this vision in my head of 3 drum sets on stage and you, Morgan and Anup all playing a really cool extended intro to The New Black
Best sounding cymbals (Meinl Byzance) in my book. I used them back in 2010 around the time suddenly ended up playing.
Bro! Blast from the past! Thank you
I love how consistent @66Samus is on the snare! That dark spot it so small, ha ha!
my fav track from strapping. absolutely heavy and awesome. devin rules!
So hype!
Got tickets to see Devin in March. So excited to see the legend live.
Got my tickets for houston march 9th. Going to be a ling impatient wait lol
Lawrence KS, you bet I'm psyched \m/
@@intraterrestrial5035 Right there with you, brother! Got family traveling in from Oregon for this show even.
I can’t believe how dead center you consistently hit your snare (aka “The Stain”😆), just awesome🤘
Switched to Meinl this past year, best decision ever. Congrats
Love the new cymbals !! ❤️
@ 66Samus the Meinl Sound fits your setup very very well ( even better than your old Zildjian setup which sounded already great ) Congrats man and good choice...now I love you even more👍🏻
Sweet, congratulations. I hope your next big announcement is touring with DT in 2020.

Great song. Great band. Great cover. You nailed it

I just knew this video was gonna rock!
You are an awesome drummer and hilarious to watch-keep up the metal my friend!
Daaaaamn those Meinl sounding dope and brutal as Fuck. Love you Sam, congrats on the endorsement!
