Seeing him on Tuesday... twice. No idea how I rolled upon him but in the period of a year he easily became my favourite artist of all time. As I came back for my second year at univsersity, it turns out not only is he making an appearance at Newcastle college, but he is playing my student union the same night. Whilst it hasn't happened yet, I would stake money that one of my best memories this year will be kicking back in our student union with a beer watching a living legend play. Cheers
Cheers Edd but I'm going to the Download fest so will have to contend with seeing the full band experience! And I'm way up north in Liverpool so London is rarely an option for a lone gig.
@Edd731 Hehe, your request was pretty great for that reason. As for the other SYL shout-outs, whether jokes or not jokes, and sober or drunk- the Dev loves his fans and flows with it all in such a great way. :)
(I was not at this show but I have seen him many times) - I believe he uses Eventide pedals almost exclusively along with his Fractal FX. Obviously Devin has some crazy gear, but even in interviews he mentions eventide reverb and delay.
Dev should be making millions playing in front of thousands of people; instead he's getting gigs at blockbuster. What's wrong with this world. True genious
I like how everyone is throwing out SYL requests for him in these videos. I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing them if he remembered them, but that's not what he's about these days. lol.
@Lucasthegreat999 Oh man, that's quite the little joke he puts on about that sort of material. The whole "wank-guitar" thing is hilarious, even about his own stuff in the past that wasn't necessarily "wanky," but just ridiculously heavy SYL style. Watching the D'addario strings video 'Devin Unleashed' first showed me some of his opinions about dungeon master-esque ways of playing! :) Cheers!
He just can't stop chatting :D Great playing and singing. Devin is awesome.
A humble man like Devin is once in a lifetime.
I want to move to Canada on the off chance that I could see this man play in a store like this.
No thumbs down for this video - Everyone recognizes greatness when they see it.
"I cut my hair off, I lost my ability to sweep." I love this fucking man! XD
All hail the Devinflesh!!
That guy's head blocked my ability to see Devin sweep pick.

That third to eighth fret is so incredibly hard to do, but it looks so natural when he does it. That's just legend, right there \M/ ^_^ \M/
I love his acoustic tone...so beautiful!
without words to describe it!...
ok.....thank you for capturing this amazing performance
devin is the ultimate embodiment of yin and yang
his music is so ranged
He may not be the most handsome man in the world, but he’s talented, funny and has a heart of gold
The true meaning of an intimate gig by the looks of it! Saw him do Hyperdrive (acoustic) at Donington Download Fest

@AntShay123 Yeah man the heavy stuff was unbelievable live, and then he played colour your world. It was stunning!
Devin should seriously think about doing an 'unplugged' show/tour :) This is damn impressive!
Fantastic!

Thanks for sharing, mate

He's using Fractal Audio Axe FX 2 for everything.
Ach that acoustic sound is sexy. Is that reverb and delay??
+Enkiguy At least a lot of reverb... analog...
Ach ja....
this is my home town, its called newton abbot, he couldn't pronounce it that well cause of his accent :L
@Ne1s0n64 someone asked him to play Wrong Side and he started doing the sweep picking bit :P
@Edd731 Thanks bro, english is not my first language :)
420 likes... do... do I... do I hit like or not... What a dilemma.
wtf! dude it sounds like ur phone is wired to the amp? Great sound
yeah! He could totally do an ambient folk record if he wanted too. And thats a record I would buy! :]
härjaren Langstrumpf he did! it's called Ghost
He was only plugged in to his Axe FX as far as I could tell.
@E3tiger Reverb with 100% decay basically.
Anyone catch a glimpse at what delay pedal he uses?
Devin Townsend = Reverb
I like how everyone is throwing out SYL requests for him in these videos. I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing them if he remembered them, but that's not what he's about these days. lol.
@Edd731 yea but dead head was some brilliant shit man
That's an incredible sound he has...anybody know what effects he's using?
Only after you pointed it out...
that eminem poster is seriously distracting
I lost him a while back...

Oh my :(

1:21
Fucking awesome
Is that saved by the bell poster in back?
I wonder if the lady in the store ever realized who this guy was.
does anyone know the make of his acoustic please?
composite acoustics
Could someone tell me what does Devin say at 1:40? Can't understand...
"LAYF!"
What is the echo-like effect in the background?
Why, whats wrong with the right one? :O
Oh, come on :(
wrong (right) side of...
Suggestive!
