Deadhead HIGHLIGHT REEL reaction Devin Townsend

Deadhead is one of my favorite songs and the Royal Albert Hall performance is especially great. Many reaction channels (including my own) have done videos of that song so I thought I would compile some of my favorite moments from each reaction.

[@chesterdesmond666]

Devin: "Watch me do my impression of an opera singer and a jet taking off."

[@joepalladino9257]

This made me laugh my ass off

[@Green-Lyon]

Count me in the busting a gut group.

[@arnefl5549]

I definitely catch your drift; my first thought was also: "I've never heard a singer with afterburners before...!" Ridiculously good performance!

[@patrickholt2270]

I can't stop watching RVA reacting to this. She really gets the emotional intensity of what's going on. She's great.

[@Suicide01207]

best reaction bless her

[@spankygrant]

Too bad they cut her line when she said "I need a cigarette and I don't even smoke" lol

[@lukef4166]

The bit where he really, really goes for it always make me cry for some reason, so I've just spent about 25mins crying 😂 I fucking love music it really is s gift especially if you can feel it!

[@thecommoncarper1247]

Totally agree. It’s just beautiful how music can make you feel. This song is incredible devin is just awesome.

[@ThatOGOne]

I thought I was going to get sick of the repetition, and instead I was treated to 25 minutes of full body chills, every single time.

[@msp720]

Same. Devy's mix is always such a wall of sound that it passes right through you. He's not just a virtuoso, he also understands how music conveys emotion and how it can affect people.

[@GamerGuats]

Saw him do this live while standing 2 feet away from the stage about 2 years ago. Sounds JUST like this. Incredible.

[@GhoulishGrinMedia]

I used to rock this song on my portable CD player back in 2003. I always wanted Devy to have the masses listen to his brilliance. It’s happening now and I love it. 🤘🏽

[@thecommoncarper1247]

I love watching the reactions to Devin. Just pure joy. Isn’t this what life is all about. We only have one chance at it

[@msp720]

It's funny, the main two reactions I almost always see for the high notes in this song are either laughing or crying. They'll either drop their jaws and then do a silent laugh in disbelief, or their eyes will water and they'll have to hold back tears. It's amazing how this song affects people so emotionally.

[@royjg83]

His modulation during the “oh yeah” really affects people. Even if they don’t understand why. That’s a magic moment in this powerful performance.

[@snaffu1]

That poor lady at 11:50. She was NOT prepared for Devy haha. I'm glad she enjoyed it, though!

[@DarthMohammedRules]

For real. She literally had a religious experience listening to that. Her soul was moved. :D

[@wandamiancrucifixplate568]

@@DarthMohammedRules was yours not?

[@Thatoneguy73822]

This man puts more emotion into a song than ive had to put into my whole life. Heavy Devy puts it on THICK

[@dirtpile]

My favorite has to be Rebecca - she's fun to watch!

[@supergeorge72]

I agree.

[@maxmattt]

Rebecagasm

[@mandalaygray6917]

Same, love her!

[@6atoH4ik]

she have a very cute reaction on a extreme vocals) really nice)

[@mgunter]

Devin's so good he made her drop the f-bomb.

[@christianmunoz6638]

Thank you for the video. I discovered Devy with this song and now I got Empath on my head everyday and night. It is changing my f life for good.

[@jamesbarker9895]

Devin puts EVERYTHING HE HAS into it and the results are simply perfection

[@mgunter]

22:18, Rebecca: I'm going to pause this. Devin: "whoooooooooooooa"

[@StormChasersofOhio]

Kel-n-Rich creep me out

[@DrThemoWorm]

Same. Not sure what it is about them specifically except the way they're swaying their heads through the whole thing.

[@jakobfel2]

Same here. I'm all about feeling the music but there's something about them that feels.. off. I dunno, it's like they're in a trance or something.

[@samsarahellfueled3280]

Me three. Dunno...theyre nice people and all...but they seem to me...Odd.

[@7bootzy]

Their clothes don't match their age group is I think what everyone is picking up on. We all have unspoken rules in society about who is supposed to wear what, and they break them which is - I think - why people get that "weirded out" feeling looking at them, maybe. Not a judgment of them or us, just an observation.

[@renatopaniagua7527]

I just love watching the emotion flow into their eyes. I never get tired of watching people watch some Devy.

[@Jaymzmiller]

It hurts me seeing people listen to this song with tiny apple earbuds. This deserves better headphones lol

[@Hylebos75]

Exactly!!! Or all the professional vocal coaches reacting with the shitty .50 cent laptop speakers or a single crap earbud in. I feel it doesn't do songs they listen to justice.

[@TheHenningway]

In 100 years from now they will teach Devin as one of the most brilliant musicians in mankinds history in elementary school...I bet...:-)

[@timchambers55]

There is so much fucking power, pain and beauty in this song. It hits me every damn time. Been lucky enough to see him perform it live a couple of times now, and I really hope I get to see it live a couple more times too.

[@TTV-d0nald_duckk]

one year later and im back for this.. cant get over it how people figured out devin is a vocal god

[@mincentprice1041]

Thanks so much J - I've visited all of the Devy reactions to this performance many times. It was cool to see the juicy parts blowing people's minds!

[@joshv5376]

Disgustingly amazing.. pitch perfect in whatever he does.

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Perhaps the greatest voice in the history of metal. So good he makes it look fucking easy! Some of his vocal performances have awed me to tears, really.

[@7792thereaper]

He and Maynard James Keenan are the gods

[@87Hanys]

Thanks for this compilation! Amazing! I love Devins voice!

[@depht_]

Man I love how you can literally see people sharing the same emotions when Devy hits *that* note. Like pain, joy, agony and complete disbelief 😂

[@vasilelipcan8147]

25 mins of goosebumps. Thanks.

[@MSB-fj7cd]

Devin Townsend live always brings a tear to my eye.

[@generalwrex]

Whenever i hear this version, i run completely out of breath .

[@g3synth205]

Thanks for putting this together!

[@cpjds1]

SpamTheManChan you Bet!!

[@Fenrizan]

The last vocal parts... He sounds like a raging arch angel....

[@Liz-cmc313]

I've seen all these reactions, thanks for putting them together. RVA has always been my favorite reaction. She fell in love with him too. Devin is God 🤘💯🔥

[@Liz-cmc313]

Absolutely Loved this! I've seen most of these YTbers react to Deadhead. FYI, Devin had a cold during the version at RAH and still performed to perfection. 🖤🤘💯🔥

[@lorenzorobert60]

I needed this video in my life haha

[@sextinaaquafina]

Half Life Sistah is my spirit being!❤️😂😂

[@supermanholycrap]

Doing God's work here son. Thank you so much op.

[@JohnG_YT]

Thank you for including me in your video :) I probably have the shittiest video quality tho,so i gotta step up my YT game! :D

[@jReactor]

No worries haha. I enjoy the mixture of reactions :)

[@jamesoncreek]

I love how everyone at some point nods in disbelief haha devin is a beast

[@x666xIronMaiden]

Had not noticed you had put this one together. I am glad you did not use me in here. These guys all put me to shame, but I already knew Devin before the channel so I can't be surprised anymore. Thanks for putting these all together to rewatch man! loved it!

[@308Repins]

I'm seeing him on June 14th....it won't get here fast enough!! I can't freaking wait!!

[@ninogogiahsvili]

How did it go?

[@308Repins]

@@ninogogiahsvili was about 20 feet from the stage. OMG it was legen... wait for it...DARY!!!! have got to find another venue close by to see another show. His interaction with the audience is fantastic, and his vocal quality is amazing. Acoustic set, no backing, just him. No kidding, if you have an outside chance of seeing one of his shows, do it!!!!

[@ninogogiahsvili]

@@308Repins how tall is he?

[@308Repins]

@@ninogogiahsvili on stage he looks 20 feet tall, you know what I mean?? lol. From the angle I was at I'd say about 6 ft. give or take an inch. I've got pics and some cellphone footage but I'm not sure if there's a way to attach them here

[@trevorlebert1929]

Are reaction channels just validation for our own tastes? Except for Rebecca who gives you good info and critique about singing, all the rest just say WOW for views.

[@Christian-vq8rd]

Yes.

[@pablosole3700]

lol rebecca doesn{t give info at all, check some real vocal coaches...

[@wolfgangstratocaster]

i think exactly the same! The carismatic voice (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGLafop5g7msbK8) is one of very fews who tell technical things ( and evebn invites you to a show ofdevy). Music is not a race, but Devin is winning

[@TTV-d0nald_duckk]

1:46 yup we got it we all had that moment.. o yes im back at it again this video never get old lol

[@fraserhoyle4008]

I see devon Townsend reactions...i click

[@Zabiru-]

It's interesting to see how many people are visibly emotionally affected by him. For good reason mind you imo.

[@colinbelcher9320]

Fukin incredible. If this doesn't make you feel alive. Your already dead

[@shawndoran8217]

He will be Loved by All)the Master of UUrrrrr!!!..

[@DudeWhere1sMyCar]

For 42 min every time he screams i get goosebumps

[@auralstream]

21:27 that guy cracks me up every time

[@TheLevan90]

21:28 LOL

[@TheMetal750]

So good! Devy is god

[@rolfloucos]

He's the best

[@stormangelus6638]

You should do one of these to "Death of Music" live at Royal Albert Hall. LEGIT worth it!

[@leekb5187]

How many of the reviewers have now downloaded something of Devy.. a good few I hope ..*smiles

[@muriloninja]

Live Plovdiv is the best performance of Deadhead!

[@xSyklus]

2:33 Fedora: EQUPPED

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

BAHAHAHA

[@hevydevy4208]

Have you picked up Empath. His best album in years and has cracked my top 3 Dev list with Ocean Machine and Terria.

[@jReactor]

Patrick Whitney I did! I was not impressed with Genesis and Evermore struck me as just ‘okay’ but I love Why?, Hear Me and the mighty Singularity.

[@JONSTRETZEL]

Devin is a monster !!!!!

[@wandamiancrucifixplate568]

Halflifesista was me the first time I heard this song.

[@stephenjones7520]

ruben was my first

[@steveh2418]

Ya oughta link all these videos in the description.

[@jReactor]

I considered that. If you search for the username that I put on-screen and put "Deadhead" after it, you'll find each one.

[@valentinpuzanov]

Nice reaction by Ruins of Sin

[@mercho_music]

Devin Townsend is so good, that you can make a video compilation of reactions to him. Could you please make one of Kingdom? .3

[@sixslinger9951]

I wonder if Sam Kinison was an influence on his screams?

[@simonfletcher5320]

Didn’t have Leonard down as a DT fan

[@alexbartha274]

Pretty sure Ruben came

[@emmanuelwolf6568]

i wonder if he plays in 432hz

[@IcarusNadir]

4:10 is that Ryan Reynolds' brother?

[@stephenjones7520]

I think Sam Johnson reacted to this as well was good analysis

[@AkelasanAK]

...nice compilation, enjoyed .... just try to keep the same sound level or its quite disturbing when high volume is changed by low and then high again ....

[@jReactor]

Yeah, unfortunately there were a couple clips that I didn't normalize the audio on...the other problem is that some of the source videos have the song quieter than the talking, and for others, that is reversed. I normalized every video (minus 1-2 that I missed) to the same dB so that the overall talking and music volume is the same. If I ever do a part 2, I may do things differently though :).

[@GhostDrummer]

9:32 “you can see his fillings...” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Edit: time stamp

[@adamgibbons8931]

Would you be able to make the same compilation for Kingdom?

[@jReactor]

That's a good idea! I'll look into it.

[@Crackracket]

kel n rich make me laugh so much.. he is such a jewish dad who had a midlife crisis and found himself a "younger model"

[@joedugas9462]

mike modano likes it

[@eastbaymauiboy]

Rebecca's is the best @21:50 ... followed by Kens EPIC FAIL @20:55

[@Megatronacsbb]

lol ken was depressed for the rest of his video man

[@TTV-d0nald_duckk]

25 min long video of people that try to figure out wtf just happened

[@jReactor]

Pretty much!!

[@ArvoR]

most needed cigarette after that :D just like me

[@joeyspider]

when I start to hear to devin I think OK WTF IS THERE?...IS A GREAT GENIUS OF MUSIC ROCK, LYRICS AND SOUND IS CLEAN POWERFULL.... HE MAKES ME CRY COUSE THIS GENDER OF ROCK IS ALMOST DEAD FOR THE STUPID MUSIC LIKE REGGUETON

[@mreyeballz]

How can so many people reacting to music videos nod their head to fricking off beat?!!

[@kurukq]

Now the only logical step is for you to react to your video of reactions.

[@jReactor]

Matt H Haha. I considered it!

[@adampopeens2728]

Using one of the stupidest things on the internet to see the one of the best things on the internet

[@Halloween111]

Check Out "Grace" by DTP kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2KqqKebpZeijtk

[@mitsoswu]

I think hefner is 1 of the best reactors out there ... and "sistah" too

[@isabelh5561]

mitsoswu Hefner’s reactions are way too over the top and frankly, staged imo

[@mitsoswu]

@@isabelh5561 Hmmm, well, i don't know, maybe you are right. Maybe he is sometimes. But i'm ok with that i guess....

[@sextinaaquafina]

Kel n Rich are so cute!❤️❤️❤️

[@Doesewicht]

On a Devin live concert you don't sing that song along with him, out of respect for his performance.

[@bfkc111]

I actually was always disappointed there wasn't more harmonic guitar play, which makes up the great beginning... It's a "good" song, but I can get over it...

[@sixslinger9951]

what is wrong with her? 11:14

[@TedlinksChannel]

What's with all these Reaction KZbinrs....some folks need to get a real job. What a soft generation. Go create more and react less.

[@TedlinksChannel]

Hans Von Witzland this couple surely does. Many younger folks think being a KZbin star is a career...sadly 99% of them don't make enough for rent. Work ethic in the USA is at an all time low.

[@lucyferina]

The only good thing about having all of the reaction channels is that a lot of people get exposed to music they otherwise would have never listened to.
