    His music sounds like hope. He literally made me wanna get out of my house, continue living and enjoying life. He saved me from a severe depression and for that i will forever thank him. Fantastic musician and person. Thank you Devin.

    Imagine someone getting introduced to devin townsend through this song.
    "Aww, it is such a sweet song. The guy has such a calm and melancholic voice. I should give a try to all his songs on a rainy day to calm myself"

      They maybe listen to ghost because people told them it’s really nice. Then they get curious and think the name strapping young lad sounds like something fun. Then... well they get their face melted off. That’s a symptom of listening to syl, literal face melting.

    I like this subdued version of Hyperdrive almost as much as the original. It has a haunting, alone-in-space kinda vibe.

    • @TheOneTrueD

      I saw him live last year doing an acoustic set in a church, and it was absolutely phenomenal, I spoke to him after and he recognised my name from a birthday song my other half got me (from the Casualties of Cool kickstarter) and I just smiled like a giddy child. Top notch guy, and astounding live.

      +CooperDem They are saying that not all the best vocalists are metal singers, also, in my opinion, many metal singers aren't very talented, obviously with the exception of Devin and some others.

    • @cooperdem992
      @cooperdem992 8 лет назад +2

      Deanmon Winchester True enough, although some metal singers use their voice in a different style than they are used to, for example Devin and Corey Taylor got some real talent on their vocals.

  • @umokay1991
    @umokay1991 Год назад +3

    Goddamn it's impressive how dynamic his voice is. He has such a powerful voice, but he can also do stuff that's quiet and soft really well. That's not as easy as you'd think, a lot of vocalists who sing loudly and with gravel/fry the way Devvy does aren't able to access those softer tones because their louder, fuller singing voice harmed their vocal chords so they're missing a little range of the softer tones, making them near impossible to sing unless you have incredible control over it.

  • @kaladabong
    @kaladabong 10 лет назад +44

    I'd love to have a proper studio recording of this song like this. I love the ones on Ziltoid and Addicted, but it's nice to hear to turned into a calmer version.

    • @zombiespacebat

    • @kaladabong

      zombiespacebat It's good too. But there are always people heard in the background yelling or clapping which I find more irritating then the lack of pop filter on this song.

    @jackcoleman1784 4 года назад

    Anyone that wants to see how good a singer they are try singing this. Sing it as it is presented here with emphasis on subtlety and see if it sounds good. There are a ton of singers that overly rely on volume, projection, vibrato, and/or dramatic shifts to hide that they don't know how to make a note stand on it's own. You'll know if you are one of those real quick when you try to sing this.
