Devin Townsend Answers Your Questions! | Metal Hammer

[@jaketaz2848]

"I don't get why people say I'm quirky or why people think I'm from a different galaxy" 2 minutes later: "I believe that I am very emotionally similar to cows"

[@gootchdog1]

👍👍

[@AndreBigBoi]

Mans an Alien

[@uhdoubleupuhuh6030]

But -- average cows, from this galaxy.

[@AndroxineVortex]

I now expect Devin to release four concept albums about bossy moo

[@Robv93]

AndroxineVortex universe in a bull...I'll get me coat :P

[@pedrovenegas-rodriguez8962]

Please someone make a drawing of Devin as the "Nuclear Burrito Guy"

[@vwharman]

As a Canadian I felt a sense of pride when Dev took off his plaid flannel jacket (called a Harewood dinner jacket where I live) and revealed a red plaid shirt underneath. I related so fully to that wardrobe choice. What a champ.

[@adamjones4220]

So being the "Adam" guy who's asking a question, we had a camera team run up to us and ask us a to ask a question. We had about a minute to come up with a question and then be filmed. It's difficult to think straight off of the top of your head, especially when pretty drunk. Trust me, I'd ask something totally different afterwards. Shit happens. Hevy with Devy.

[@rollin37]

So you get a chance to ask a musical genius a question and this is what you came up with??

[@hunterkoz2530]

He took of his flannel jacket and had a flannel underneath it, in the same style. This man will always be a legend!

[@cosplayboundlive]

stupid questions but very funny. Dev def. has a sense of humor.

[@6darkness6eternal6]

Metal Hammer went around asking random people if they had a question to ask Devin. Some of them barely know who he was.

[@cosplayboundlive]

TakeTo TheShadows well that explains everything lol

[@peeterus]

Hey if I hadn't asked him about cows we would never know about Bossy Moo.

[@spankrod]

"And then for dinner that night, we had ROAST BEEF! Ha HA! Fuckin' hell..." Lost it.

[@jFrenetic]

1:43 "Colloquialism of the day - Fuck It!" lmao

[@marcuscameron8274]

This is why... This guy is a legend!!!!

[@tweevers2]

Devin's Burrito shack now serving the most metal radioactive burritos known to are subspecies the human cow

[@GuerradeLobos]

He is a genius. In 200 years people will really apreciate this guy and will be like a hero god (?)

[@LeeeroyJenkems]

Emotionally I'm very similar to cows... Where's bossymoo? Well we had to take him away..he went to live with another family. And then for dinner that night we had roast beef..HAHA!! fucking hell..Cole!

[@KwanzaaJuice]

Obviously Devin's favourite Muppet is Beaker. They're identical

[@eliotmccann2589]

"New-cu-ler?" Three times? Crazy man!

[@poisonous-shadows]

Canadian and damn proud of it I love it always be proud Canada is a great country to not only be from but live in

[@andyfox8377]

my god I Love Devin he's fucking hilarious

[@a_3x]

Me too. He's the best

[@jwardbass4452]

I don't know what it is about him, but he seems so... articulate? Can't think of the word. He just seems really smart.

[@Hellwyck]

Erudite

[@Robv93]

Dev NEEDS a longer set next time around! Hes too amazing to be in the pre-afternoon slot!

[@simplesimonh123]

"Hi! I'm Devin Townsend! I'm a Canadian musician!" We can tell by the flannel coat bud, excellent taste.

[@noisypinkbubble875]

I would be intrigued to hear more stories of his childhood like his story about Bossy Moo. Maybe in the future we'll get something of that nature. I love listening to people's histories in general anyway.

[@robertweekes5783]

Lol, I wasn't sure if that was made up for laughs or a real childhood story! Either way it's hilarious!

[@SilencedMi5]

Damn, I want to hear more about Bossy Moo too. I'm sure you, like me, are upset that he skipped over Noisy Pink Bubbles in his Infinity podcast ....

[@AAlfons]

This might have been the best intervju with devin i have ever seen!

[@MarkoMaric94]

Love this guy, he's so awesome!

[@GreyShadowUchiha]

Appreciate the love for Back In The Village And god he's funny

[@SPTB727]

"Hahaaaaaa.... fucking hell"

[@kael13]

Saw him for the first time at Leamington Spa, he rocked. Can't wait for Z2.

[@hamtheman222]

I love this man.

[@Dinofly4]

He was so snarky in this interview, haha.

[@RyanK...111]

Going to ignore "nuke-yullar" as best as I can.

[@Banecouch]

I don't consider what I write to be "quirky" - I consider it to be devoid of cool! LOL

[@Banecouch]

OMG this is soo rich!

[@arrestedshrimp]

This guy is fucking hysterical. Every interview of him I watch makes me crack up.

[@Juan6Meses]

HAHAHAHAA Devin fucking hilarious!!

[@ViperRob]

I'd think Gonzo would be his fav puppet lol

[@officialdirtmcgurt]

Devin is sofa king hilarious !!! I met him in Mississippi when he was doing a sig peavey guitar redesign. Dude is incredibly witty and odd in the best way possible.

[@kait2161]

I can't understand a word they are saying lol. But on the other hand this video was really funny (partly because of the unbelievably stupid questions). Devin is seriously the most amazing human being on earth.

[@stevenkorenek389]

First song of Powerslave on Side 2 is "Flash of the Blade."

[@rocksteady5082]

You are incorrect. The 1st song on side 2 of "Powerslave" is "Back To The Village".

[@Adultguj]

Of all the questions that you could ask him, they decide to ask these things of him...

[@ChirodipBasu25021994]

I swear man, I was just thinking of this.

[@KRAPYBARA84]

Quirky nuclear burritos for all! Asparagus and children as well

[@Liz-cmc313]

Devin is a trip. He reminds me of my younger brother in some ways. And Jason Newsted,not sure why,lol.

[@battousai12]

Gotta love him man

[@Rockeman182]

Haha Devin's such a cool dude. He's got such a fun and interesting personality.

[@harrymcwatters2057]

Devin really enjoys the word "parameters" doesn't he

[@hubertg-blouin8070]

Canadia ! That's an awesome one !

[@Enbix]

5:18 Best question.

[@gregmerritt9366]

2019 is here. Time to prepp up the flattop girl. The time for culinary treats from down the way is upon us.

[@wackow1zard372]

back in the village is a great choice

[@Hellion6325]

I donno why, but I keep expecting devin to not be bald under the beanie even though I know he's bald lol

[@sebastianlacroix5871]

I LOVED. THAT COW

[@RyanK...111]

THE DARK CRYSTAL FUCKIN RULES

[@44Activa]

Oh fuck, Devin is so funny and looks like a really nice dude. Guys, do you have any good starter songs for me? I know he's very eclectic and it's hard to find someting to start with...

[@ProfesorRayado]

+Francesco Salva Try with ziltoid the omniscient , its very brutal and funny! If you want something more rock-pop try with Addicted!

[@gootchdog1]

maby try anything you find on youtube?

[@WeWantYouToStay]

Starter songs: catchy = life, stagnant, sit in the mountain, christeen, numbered (and most of Addicted album), slow me down, sunshine and happiness etc Heavy = pretty much every SYL song (especially All Hail the new flesh, oh my fucking God, love, shitstorm etc)

[@iseeu1980]

+Francesco Salva I think you'll get different suggestion from anyone you ask :). His music is that diverse.

[@44Activa]

Eh I know. lol What about something heavy and catchy, WeWantYouToStay?

[@jbbya6040]

A little disappointed that his T shirt wasn't also red plaid TBH

[@TheSkipjack95]

Caitlin is cute

[@6darkness6eternal6]

That's my girlfriend :3

[@TheSkipjack95]

TakeTo TheShadows Lucky bastard

[@thedemonstealer]

I love Devin :D

[@Feverdream7777]

Hysteria, Def Leppard ... yup

[@jotunblod]

Caitlin got destroyed.

[@muntificator]

Devin seems to be developing more sass lately =P

[@MrShadowblue25]

you get to ask a musical genius whatever you want... and that's the kind of shit you guys throw at him?

[@robonez]

What a guy!!! :)

[@FlackoWeasel]

BURRITOS :D

[@AlysonMontez]

YEAH DARK CRYSTAL!!!

[@theultimategamer213]

he kinda sounds like jeff goldblum if you close your eyes

[@22neohenry]

Sorry Canada, zippers were invented by Whitcomb L Judson from Chicago.

[@janotse]

22neohenry Semantics really. A swedish guy invented the modern zipper, and the machine that makes them. www.svw.co.za/the-zipper-invention/ The "zippers" existing before then where basically hooks

[@danpotter1678]

and why and why and why.

[@EdmundKempersDartboard]

I dunno... i'd call march of the poozers pretty quirky.

[@rosalina9768]

how come I never hear anything from Devin about being on the human equation

[@metalnerd79]

dear god help humanity

[@AnfalasHerdsman]

xD

[@dfro1982]

poor Devin being asked such stupid questions.

[@nomadman123]

That's a lot of vomitation!

[@latemnf]

devin.. you did not just say nuculur .. :(

[@powaqqatsi100]

Stupid questions to an intelligent person!

[@focusman420]

ugh. he said "nuculur" man.

[@Cirvianum]

What the f*** is 'croarky'?

[@gemsybobsy]

It's 'quirky' ;)

[@Cirvianum]

Shit. Thanks

[@6hypnone]
