@@countbleck35 Plovdiv mix is horrible, drums way too loud, and guitar way too low. Performance is equal imo. That's why I would always recommend the RAH version for "newcomers" over the Plovdiv one.
YAAAAAY YOU FINALLY DID IT!! Get ready for the wave of follow up Devin Townsend performances that people are gonna request! My personal request is Deadhead live at the Royal Albert Hall!
He's spent long years doing what he does and has earned his fun time. He doesn't take things too seriously, he's reached comfort with himself and has no pretention and no excess ego to stroke. He is at one, as best he can be.
For the humor, I'll never forget going to his concert for Strapping Young Lad that ended up on DVD, where he introduced "Aftermath" as being dedicated to his favorite school subject, social studies, because it was after math. He always used silly puns.
You can't go wrong with Devin. I absolutely LOVE watching these people who've never heard Devin before experience him for the first time. It's amazing for them to go into a song like this and hear the opening riff and you can tell they're immediately judging him and expected this mean and nasty metal song, and then Devin just bitch slaps them in the face with his ungodly stellar vocals and they immediately realize just how amazing this man is. He is a true living legend and a treasure to music everywhere. My all time favorite musician. I could listen to nothing but Devin the rest of my life and have every single genre itch I get be scratched by a single artist. Not many people can say something like that. #DevinIsMyGawd
BTW The Devin Townsend Project was his last live band. He just used backing tracks because the EMG show was to highlight guitarists that used their pickups - and a lot easier when you have a show that night
Deadhead at the Royal Albert Hall is a must. Universal Flame at the Royal Albert Hall is also a wonderful one! I absolutely loved your reaction to devy. He's amazing and I can't wait for his Empath tour so I can finally see him live.
Devin is his own genre. That beautiful female voice is Anneke Van Giersbergen, who is a friend and collaborator of Nightwish's Floor Jansen. To hear Annie properly, I recommend "Grace" by Devin Townsend live from The Retinal Circus. The show was filmed at London's Roundhouse.
Thanks so much! the Death of Music live from Royal Albert Hall. He uses every part of his voice. I cry every time, because of the powerful and emotional song. Back me up fellow comment guys
I love seeing people experiencing Devin! There's not a single video out there were the 'reactor' doesn't just start smiling at the amazing things Devin does. Like the genre or not, but everyone loves what Devin brings. :)
Part of the fun of watching people's first reaction to Devin Townsend is knowing what is about to happen and seeing people's shock. He's a unique talent that lad. He makes some big compositions, never a recording track wasted.
I've been someone who desperately /wishes/ they could sing, and I don't go too out of my way to learn but I'm constantly singing when I'm alone as well as learning warm-ups and techniques. That short little tip you gave about using the jaw hing changed my life instantly... Bless you, first video of yours I have seen it's an instant sub, and I see your channel has lots of juicy things to watch!
I was one of many who recommended this video. I got to see him live like 2 months ago and he sounds exactly like this. His voice fills the whole room. He is a true prodigy, I'm a guitarist and remember reading and hearing about Devin Townsend back in the day. He was like an urban legend .
Yes! Thanks for this reaction Valerie! Hevy Devy, the one and only. Please, also check out his Devin Townsend Project work with Anneke Van Giersbergen. In my opinion the best vocal duo metal ever had. They sound almost perfect together. The live version of 'Numbered' is totaly amazing. Other great songs are 'Awake', 'Grace', 'Hyperdrive'. (All great live versions.)
Of course Deadhead live at royal alber hall is next, and also don’t hesitate to search a bit on the guy because he is a very interesting person, very complex and with a lot of talents :-)
React to Diana Ankudinova, please. She is only 16 y.o., but she has high level of the voice control, unique and incredible tembre for her age. Also she is the great actresse. The song "Wicked game" by Diana Ankudinova will be a fine start for reaction. Wish you a good day and many, many subscribers and likes.
I always think it's funny how most folks react to his vocals with this video, when it's original intent was to show off his guitar tone using EMG pickups (it's the EMG Pickups channel). But his vocals are amazing, and though he has lots of overdubs happening, his vocals are live. Which is pretty impressive.
You're right, as a guitarist and subscriber to EMG i remember seeing this when it was uploaded, blew me away to be honest , I think the vocals are more pure here than the album version.
Devin Townsend is amazing! His back catalogue is ridiculous, I think there is genuinely a song from every musical genre ever in his range. From the most brutal metal to whimsical show tunes.
Glad you enjoyed. Just saying, there's a reason my only child is named Devin. Hope you explore his whole catalog as time permits. From strapping Young lad to his more recent projects, he covers an amazing range of styles. He was also Steve Vai s vocalist for an album. More talent in one pinkie finger than most people have in their entire bodies.
I knew the first time I heard Devy he was something special. Love seeing people experience his music(specifically this song) for the first time and be blown away \m/
I'm not a follower of metal by any stretch of the imagination. But I like Devin Townsend. I love his sound, his voice, and his humor. I'd see him in concert any time.
Do it. I've seen him a few times. Im old enough to have been lucky enough to see strapping young lad in a 500 person venue twice, and he is just a perfectly charismatic ridiculous frontman. I introduced my gf to his music with retinal circus tickets for our one year anniversary and she's been hooked ever since. And we got to see the royal albert hall zilltoid show for another anniversary too. He has never disappointed and the shows have always been the kind you compare everyone else too. Gojra, tool and cattle decapitation are the ones ive seen that compare favourably. But that would be lateralus tour tool, not recent download tool...
Also, I highly recommend you check out his live performance of Ih Ah from Retinal Circus with Anneke. Those two voices together is just heavenly. It's amazing.
This is my Devin's absolutely song by far. I don't want to make any mistakes, but long time ago, I read something like that Devin was under cure because of his borderline syndrome. Due to his so-quickly-changing behaviour, Devin's fiancee was really afraid, and she was almost quitting Devin...so he composed this masterpiece, in order to regain his beloved; as you can see, Devin's saying:"Baby please, there is no warning, I'm fine", just because he was taking medicines and he was trying to get well...something that would have been impossible without his beloved beside him,maybe. Tnx so much for your appreciation of this song.
Only just discovered Devin and love him, what a showman, great back catalogue. My son was very aware of him and gave me some pointers of what to listen to... METAL
Devi delivers joy yet again 😊 Recommend ANYTHING from The Retinal Circus show. His homegirl Anneke does that show with them, and she's top shelf. They're fantastic together.
Hevy Devy, never to be replaced. wish I knew he was the singer and leader of Strapping Young Lads, Love is a great tune from mid 2k's but only heard DTP 4 years ago. Glad I ever heard it. 2nd to NONE!
The first time I saw Devin live, he was recovering from a heavy cold and couldn't pull off a lot of his typical range. As a huge fan of his, I was bummed but very happy I got to see him. The second time I saw him, he did solo-acoustic versions of a bunch of his songs, new and old, and it was amazing.
he was only playing one guitar part in that the rest is backing tracks, he has a band it was just a 1 man thing for that you tube channel, he does no more or less with his band, the pedals were hardly used in that performance....BUT his voice is freaking awesome, dude oozes control and great charisma
@@VocalSplendorStudios He started as the singer in Stev Vais's band, but if you heard his first solo projects (Strapping Young Lad= first band he was in) you would still not expect the opera lool do a quick search for Strapping Young Lad City (album), lool I love it but not many csn take awhole song let a lone an album, VERY heavy wall of noise manic, sounds like a computer having a mental episode. even then he had a great voice and control, but the opera stuff Ive been a fan since the 90's and I did not expect it when i heard this song
...as for the pedals... Since EMG ist this massive guitar pickup manufacturer, tjis song is actually not to demo his vocal abilities at all but the massive guitar sounds he creates by using these pickups. The pedals play their part in creating the sound, bit there is so much more to the wall of sound he creates. Hence also the ironic comment to the "most epic guitar solo in EMG history". Most other EMG videos are about shredding or noodling by the respective featured guitarist (which he coukd have done as well), but you gotta love Devins humor... :D
Unnecessary to mention this now, a month or more after you’ve watched this, that mid song, when that sweet, ethereal, almost feminine quality was present in his performance.... that was not Devin but a pre-recorded sound layer from his band and the female voice was Anneke van Giersbergen, his live sidekick and herself a top notch singer. Devin just added riffs and a few guitar layers and of course his unique voice talent to it for the studio live performance. That is what the maestro is known for. The wall of sound. Adding sound layer upon layer upon layer until the music has almost psychological impact on you... you noticed it right away when you stopped for the second time. There’s so much going on. His level of control. Great reaction, Valerie. Thank you so much.
Welcome to the world of Devin Townsend :) All his music has his name on it, but he's not actually a one man band though. This is a video from EMG tv. EMG is a company which makes pickups for guitars and they have artists who they endorse come on to play through some songs, with backing tracks of the actual song, minus what they are playing in the video. String companies and guitar companies do the same, so it's usually just one member of the band. A quick search on youtube and you'll find him with his full band. As someone said below, the song Deadhead live at the Albert Hall is amazing. His band are top notch too. Nice video, keep it up. Cheers!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Devy. You are in for a treat. Decades of amazing and diverse discography. Deadhead at Albert Hall should be one of the first to continue....
You should check out the live version of this song with the whole band and the lady singing with him. He has a white tuxedo and a top hat on. There's a balcony above them, with people acting out a wedding.. It's really cool.
Im 99% sure the pedals are for guitar only, maybe there is some reverb on the voice in a few moments, but the rest is a backing track, he plays the guitar part and sings.
Love/life from CBC studios for sure. Or any of the CBC studios appearances. It's far more personal and revealing of him compared to a the usual live band performances. It's also just an acoustic guitar which showcases his layering and echo manipulation better.
I think you would love some of his Side project Albums, Specially Ziltoid the Omniscient, Z² Second album to this side project. Btw you seem like a really lovely human down to earth and i loved to see your reactions when devin was being silly jokin about, I love devins sense of humor and musicionship.
From one woman to another,you're gorgeous! But I bet you fell in love with Devin immediately.hes a power house voice and he's so animated when he performs.i wish I had half of that man's spirit:D
While I agree with most people here that you really MUST see Deadhead Live at The Royal Albert Hall, for a bit of fun try Bend it like Bender!! (I'm not sure you're ready for Dev's earlier work in his band "Strapping Young Lad". That's probably something you should build up to {so long as you can stand some pretty near-the-knuckle language!!})
I feel the need ot clarify that the "all those layers" were just a simple backing track that he didn't control in any way. He's not a one-man-band and the playback has nothing to do with the pedals. "All the pedals" are just his guitar pedal board. Most of them were unused in this performance, because you don't assemble a board for a single song. It's a more longterm setup.
Thanks for the clarification. I've seen other artists use pedals to create loops in live time. This was my first Devin reaction and I now understand that this isn't his usual performance routine.
The sound from the video is not at the same quality as the original. You re-record the sound using your mic? You should route directly to recording software
...why can't all the voice teachers in the world join a queue to react to this version of Devy doin' Kingdom and get it all over and done with all at once? ...I'd like to see Devy react to Devy - now that I'd watch...
ok.. so all those pedals are just for his guitar sound. except for the whay pedal that did the whay sound during his tremendous guitar solo.. So he trolls that solo.. but Actually he is a guitar virtuoso . Hes not a great guitar player.. its levels above that. Anyways nice reaction and analysis of his vocals. They are amazing for sure. His song writing is also tremendous. He has many albums under different genres. He is easily one of the greatest musicians walking this planet that people dont know about.
You NEED to see his Live rendition of Deadhead - Live at the royal Albert hall. He is AMAZING.
Agreed!
Deadhead live at the Royal Albert Hall is a must!
this.... just do this...
Yes definately!!
Plovdiv deadhead is better, watch it
@@countbleck35 Plovdiv mix is horrible, drums way too loud, and guitar way too low. Performance is equal imo. That's why I would always recommend the RAH version for "newcomers" over the Plovdiv one.

Devin is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated vocalists in metal and rock music. He's been at it a long time. Amazing talent.
Well said!😊
He's spent long years doing what he does and has earned his fun time. He doesn't take things too seriously, he's reached comfort with himself and has no pretention and no excess ego to stroke. He is at one, as best he can be.

Devin is a master of his craft. A true inspiration to many and an conduit of pure creativity.
He's a musical genius and showman
Devin is his own genre. That beautiful female voice is Anneke Van Giersbergen, who is a friend and collaborator of Nightwish's Floor Jansen. To hear Annie properly, I recommend "Grace" by Devin Townsend live from The Retinal Circus. The show was filmed at London's Roundhouse.
Excellent recommendation for Annie!
i-ah awesome song
To hear anneke properly, listen to the gathering... Or her own solo stuff
Thanks so much! the Death of Music live from Royal Albert Hall. He uses every part of his voice. I cry every time, because of the powerful and emotional song. Back me up fellow comment guys
Mincent Price yup. DoM is one of his best vocal performances
I agree. Devin is amazing no matter what. But Death of Music is just stunning.
I love seeing people experiencing Devin! There's not a single video out there were the 'reactor' doesn't just start smiling at the amazing things Devin does. Like the genre or not, but everyone loves what Devin brings. :)
Yup. I became an instant fan at that first listen!
Lady, I love you. I love your energy. I love you enthusiasm. I love your objectivism. Keep up the good work!
"Grace" (The Retinal Circus) Official Promo Video
This is one my favorit Devin Townsend songs(also Anneke van Giersbergen)
Jan Claus everyone always requests Deadhead, which a great song, but I much prefer Grace.
@@Acidbather I find Grace is a better reaction video for sure.
Wow! I love this even more than when I saw this months ago! He really is a beast. Did you know that he has no vocal training?
I know - just amazing. He's matured and gotten better with age live. Who else does that at 48 ?
@@mincentprice1041 Well, he did lose some of his range compared to SYL days. He's still a vocal god though.
Part of the fun of watching people's first reaction to Devin Townsend is knowing what is about to happen and seeing people's shock.

Deadhead is good, BUT the best is Death of music - briliant!
Of course Deadhead live at royal alber hall is next, and also don’t hesitate to search a bit on the guy because he is a very interesting person, very complex and with a lot of talents :-)
Thankyou for your assessment of Devin's abilities..... Love it. Yes Devin is one of a kind.
Definitely an example of an absolute master. He’s nearing the peak of human ability for christ’s sake
I think him and Mike Patton are the 2 best singers alive at the moment. The ones i know of at any rate. Such insane control and rage for both!
Townsend is a legend. You however are one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen ❤️
React to Diana Ankudinova, please. She is only 16 y.o., but she has high level of the voice control, unique and incredible tembre for her age. Also she is the great actresse. The song "Wicked game" by Diana Ankudinova will be a fine start for reaction. Wish you a good day and many, many subscribers and likes.
I like this reaction, a lot of people give over the top reactions but this is very level headed while still appreciating it.
Now react to his song, "Deadhead", live at Royal Albert Hall. Savage vocals again.
Yes, I'm definitely looking forward to more Devin!
I always think it's funny how most folks react to his vocals with this video, when it's original intent was to show off his guitar tone using EMG pickups (it's the EMG Pickups channel).

Devin is from Vancouver , so that may explain his sense of humor . Ya need to watch Deadhead live at Royal Albert Hall or Supercrush Live.
Glad you enjoyed. Just saying, there's a reason my only child is named Devin. Hope you explore his whole catalog as time permits. From strapping Young lad to his more recent projects, he covers an amazing range of styles. He was also Steve Vai s vocalist for an album. More talent in one pinkie finger than most people have in their entire bodies.
The song "Why?" off of Devin's most recent album is a trip. He dives totally into the musical theater style of singing and it's great.
That sounds amazing!

How far down this joyous rabbit hole will you go? I fell in during the end of S.Y.L. and enjoyed every minute.

Deadhead - Royal Albert Hall. Amazing.
Welcome to Devin Townsend.... greatest musician of our time.
Deadhead live @ Royal Albert Hall. But also Canada live @ Plovdiv. There is so much more to discover..
I will check that out!
If you want to hear Devy at his sublime best, listen to 'WHY?' from his solo album, Empath.
Official live version of kingdom is mind blowing
Hevy Devy, never to be replaced. wish I knew he was the singer and leader of Strapping Young Lads, Love is a great tune from mid 2k's but only heard DTP 4 years ago. Glad I ever heard it. 2nd to NONE!

Yes Devin Townsend is something else, so talented.. I recommended 'Deadhead' live at Royal Albert for your next reaction.
Loved your reaction and insight! Cheers from TX.

I love Townsend. I've been a fan since I was a teen.... for reference.... I turned 38 last week.
watch 'Grace' from Retinal Circus ... Devin has a little helper named Anneke Van Giersbergen .
You should check out the live version of this song with the whole band and the lady singing with him. He has a white tuxedo and a top hat on. There's a balcony above them, with people acting out a wedding.. It's really cool.
I'd love to see this!
Apparently that was a legit wedding
Im 99% sure the pedals are for guitar only, maybe there is some reverb on the voice in a few moments,
but the rest is a backing track, he plays the guitar part and sings.
Yes!!! Deadhead live at the Royal Albert Hall!!! You will not regret it, it is another emotional level. in band
Great reaction, great smile
His old band Strapping Young Lad was crazy! Check out their song Detox - it’s unhinged yet amazing!
Shmick ! All SYL is amazing, but yes, definitely Detox!
Love?
Devys voice is a combination of an Opera singer and a fighter jet taking off...
Lifelong subscriber xx
If you want to hear the best of Devin, listen to the live version of Failure.
From high clean vocals to fry screaming.
Hey beautifull woman, let's enjoy " the death of music" live in Plodiv. I'm sure you Never see a so beautifull job. Kisses from France 🇫🇷🙏
He's just amazing! You really should check his live erformance Retinal Circus... Such a fun thing to watch!!
Superb reaction
Can sing like an angel and scream like a demon.
What an original idea
Great reaction vid. Definitely Deadhead Live at the Royal Albert Hall next. So good.
Love/life from CBC studios for sure. Or any of the CBC studios appearances. It's far more personal and revealing of him compared to a the usual live band performances. It's also just an acoustic guitar which showcases his layering and echo manipulation better.

Devin Townsend namm 2016
Fukin awesome
Deadhead live will blow your mind
"What other Devin Townsend I should check out"
Me: All of it.
Devin is a god
Deadhead at Albert Hall!!!
Everyone asking for deadhead at the royal albert hall must not have heard his performance at plovdiv
You should also check out the work he did with Steve Vai on the cd Sex And Religion
I feel the need ot clarify that the "all those layers" were just a simple backing track that he didn't control in any way. He's not a one-man-band and the playback has nothing to do with the pedals. "All the pedals" are just his guitar pedal board. Most of them were unused in this performance, because you don't assemble a board for a single song. It's a more longterm setup.
Thanks for the clarification. I've seen other artists use pedals to create loops in live time. This was my first Devin reaction and I now understand that this isn't his usual performance routine.
Another song you need to react to you by Devin Townsend is stormbending 🤘🤘🤘😊😊
You should react to why? From his newest album you'll love it
Can you react to elha nympha from little big shots and or yebba singing my mind. If you haven't already
Devin sees sound in color, he is a synesthetic. You need to listen to the triple play Funeral, Bastard and Death of Music live at Royal Albert Hall
The sound from the video is not at the same quality as the original. You re-record the sound using your mic? You should route directly to recording software
Deadhead live at plodvid
Check out "Grace" and "Deadhead" if you like this one.
...why can't all the voice teachers in the world join a queue to react to this version of Devy doin' Kingdom and get it all over and done with all at once?
...I'd like to see Devy react to Devy - now that I'd watch...
Please react to his Spirits Will Collide video.
ok.. so all those pedals are just for his guitar sound. except for the whay pedal that did the whay sound during his tremendous guitar solo.. So he trolls that solo.. but Actually he is a guitar virtuoso . Hes not a great guitar player.. its levels above that. Anyways nice reaction and analysis of his vocals. They are amazing for sure. His song writing is also tremendous. He has many albums under different genres. He is easily one of the greatest musicians walking this planet that people dont know about.
