I was kinda hoping for the logo with the crow holding the hatchet 😅😅

Dean you helped me buy my first guitar 🤟😎

A group of Crows is called a murder 👌 that's pretty metal

I do not think Devin has a clue about Death. Neverthess you are free to insult us.

[@TheJulik2]

Dean fanboying to Devin is totally relatable

Devin shook my hand once. I put it on my resume.

Pretty thin resume...

We don’t deserve Devin Townsend. The man is a blessing to the world.

[@xMRxZEROx]

I couldn't agree more. Except I'd be super sad without Devin in my life. Dude quite literally saved my life. Single most talented musician this world will ever know. He's a unique spirit. And I love him dearly.

[@TRiToX91]

Devin seems like such a wholesome dude.

[@neeltheother2342]

I've met him 3 times on 3 different tours. He's always astonished anyone even came to see him - let along talk to him afterwards. I love him.

[@SurvivalInFlames]

Duuuuuuudddeesss, Devin is a sick guitar player, not to mention an unbelievable composer. I’m stoked for this!

[@a7brad]

How about 4 Levels with Christian Münzner? The guy's been in Necrophagist, Obscura, Spawn of Possession, Alkaloid, Defeated Sanity and more.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

I second this, I miss Spawn of Possession.

[@deathmetaldownhiller7874]

@@DJTheMetalheadMercenary We're all so past missing Necrophagist, we've all just jumped on the missing Spawn of Possession bandwagon

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

@@deathmetaldownhiller7874 Lol. Well if Muhammed would stop being "that guy" and follow through with his claims of new material and that the band is still active, it'd probably mean a lot more to the fans. I wouldn't call it a "bandwagon", mainly considering SoP isn't nearly as well known as Necrophagist (which is a travesty in itself) especially to the younger crowd.

[@Rxbandit421]

Shit yes to all that

[@jbasti227]

That guy’s a savage. I’d love to see that.

[@systembuilder2801]

Im waiting patiently for the AAL Tosin Abasi episode. It’s gonna be the best one yet.

The God himself! Devin explaining the difference between licks and riffs killed me. "I'm learnin'" lmao

[@Conundrums._]

RIP Trevor

[@TheVermifuge]

Dude that show at 6:06 was awesome. Some kid in front of me was giving Gene Hoglan the finger, and Gene threw his drumstick at him. Dude dodged it and it hit me in the head. LOL. Miss the Croation for metal, epic times.

[@jbbya6040]

Love the soft focus on Devin that gives him that classic old Hollywood leading lady look. Positively glowing!

[@craigstrickland1572]

Dev is the man. I listen to "Kingdom" a lot if I am having a bad day or just because but his SYL stuff kills too. And his new stuff.

[@kurtnagel3373]

Ziltoid the omniscient is great as well

[@athan5019]

I'm also totally drawn to Kingdom when I've had a bad day

[@aakashmondal789]

I got into tech death very late but started with Archspire. You guys blew my mind. Love from India. Best wishes for the metal couple

[@edneragnarok]

I wish I could thumbs this up x1000! Devin is my favorite musician. He has created such wonderful music over the years that I really am thankful for. I’m glad you guys got this opportunity. Can’t wait!

[@OhYeahSimulator]

Devin Townsend has the most angelic voice yet can also be so powerful in his fry vocals. I aspire to sing like him.

[@farrex0]

He was really nice, the Deconstruction album has so many incredibly hard riffs.

God, you could do an entire 4 levels for the song Deconstruction on its own haha

[@craigjames1082]

@@serrisdaylor1015 You could make a 4 levels video for almost each song off that album

I'm such a fanboy Devin is my favorite musician and the guy that made me start learning Guitar. I just love everything he does. From the heaviest riffs to the most beautiful songs THAT'S WHAT I CALL A CROSSOVER MAN

[@mincentprice1041]

It's amazing that so many of us feel the same way. It's a pretty intimate relationship and it's so beautiful that so many are touched to that degree I look forward to hearing your music Cheers

[@Mrbungleface0u818]

That earth day has such a unique vibe when playing it... Definitely not as easy as it looks... And too sing a vocal melody over it as flawless as he does. Is why there is only one Devin Townsend... Crazy riff

[@bakedspade]

Yes! Devin did a Strapping riff. Legend.

[@brandobin]

Holy shit you guys got Devin Townsend that guy is like the reason I listen to metal

[@machine.grundberg]

The suspense before level 4 was amazing!

[@Metalton95]

I don't know if I come here more for the guitar playing or the comedy anymore but both are fantastic.

Totally geeked to see Townsend on here with you guys!

[@nickpryme]

[@anderovesen3458]

It's a rabbit hole unlike any other. His music is mindblowingly amazing. I started listening a year ago and I'm still hooked and probably always will be xD

[@athan5019]

3:10 that's a crazy epic sound from a bloody clean guitar! But then him playing it with with distortion, I totally hear that's it's clean. Devin's music is such a classic, in the sense that each time you listen to it you hear something you didn't hear before

[@tingachhakchhuak6083]

Devin Townsend is the Frank Zappa of Metal

[@necropollis-]

Devin is a great musician that doesn’t take himself too seriously and that’s what makes him even better

[@daoyang223]

Dude's music is great. He doesn't take himself too seriously but I honestly can see him composing music for a video game.

[@OraOraOceanMan]

@@daoyang223 Devin could absolutely do that, based purely on his ability to compose music. However, I've read/heard before that he wanted to do that but doesn't really know much about games. That's probably mostly due to the fact that he just can't get into video games himself since he can't keep interest, from what he's said before. He'd rather do something else, something more productive. I believe, he said it feels kinda like wasting time.

[@daoyang223]

@@OraOraOceanMan movies are great too though. He can do music for like great cosmic horror

[@SpaceWolfHudson]

6:08 Holy moly, Fear Factory AND Strapping Young Lad in one show? I would do anything for being at that show.

[@Jadusart]

Your chemistry is ideal. Such a fun format and adding Hevy Devy to the mix just makes a perfect video. Cheers youse two.

[@Lamren]

Great video and you guys did great on Earth day, I could tell how much fun you had playing it, very wholesome ! It's also nice of Devin to have selected tracks he enjoys playing rather than going straight up from the jugular, because he didn't pick anything from his Deconstruction's record for example !

[@craigjames1082]

Tbf on a livestream recently he said even he doesn't remember how to play most of Deconstruction LOL

[@SiriusB88]

It's great to see/listen to Devin playing a SYL riff again

[@izaakramsay4819]

Dean is behaving exactly how I would in that situation. The riff from Love? still goes so hard.

I never knew I wanted this until I saw the notification. Omg yes!! Heavy Devy!

[@dooolaay]

Great job there, buds. Enjoy the heck out of these videos!!

[@untipoverable]

I'm kind of surprised Devin didn't putt out the crazy ostinato riff in Genesis at about the 4:50 mark. Wait, I think Devy didn't actually write that one. I think that one may have been Markus Reuter on touch guitar... So glad you guys did this. Devin is such a genuine person and such an awesome crafter of sonic masterpieces.

[@leone.6190]

The best thing is that you still played the riff with Clean sound. :D

[@TheSubzeto]

So cool to see this. I just finished watching one of Devin's live stream shows and this collaboration pops up
