[@grizzbizz2544]

Check out his song "The Death Of Music " From The Same Concert Or "Funeral "

[@mcaetano2000]

The Death of Music is my favorite Devin Townsend song! Funeral, Bastard and The Death of Music are 3 great songs...

[@masonshucart7055]

The best part about this concert was that he was super sick (sore throat and more) and still kicked ass.

[@IAmFat1968]

You're an angel, love your smile and eyes each time you hear something you enjoy...

[@Schopenhauer667]

Hi, I'm an explorer, I travel through youtube looking for Devin Townsend reactions. This is a good find. Bye lady who smiles with the eyes!

[@billbutler9011]

Do yourself a favor...his quarantine concert...”Why”....you’ll love it. Aaaaand GO

[@DlSASTERCHlLD]

Devin's definitely one of my all-time heaviest influences and inspirations. I love almost every project he's ever touched on, and his voice is built like a damn machine. It's glorious.

[@darthaelris2059]

Omg!!! Orange Kitty!!! Great react. Wanna see Devy with a full Orchestra behind him? Check out Higher! Live at Plovdiv, turn them.captions on!!!! Truly a special song and one for how we've all been feeling. A light in this darkness from the Most Criminally Underrated Musicians to ever Grace (pun intended) a stage. Truly the Mozart of our time.

[@robygigas1739]

Oh god....I discovered this song 2 years ago I believe ....and this song...this song is sooooo mesmerizing!!! the first time was really shocking but I at the same time I had the feeling to already know this guy...and then I realized he was the same singer from the "Sex and Religion" project by Steve Vai! Believe me, that project was AMAZING ! Imagine the best musicians in the world playing with a voice like that...check it out! Anyway, I'm 46 years old and music play an import role in my life every day from when I wake up till I go to sleep but I never experienced goosebumps like that on this song or with "Funeral " which Is on the same concert ( Royal Albert Hall )!!!! You can Really feel the music, the voice, going inside you and embrace you.The music itself is epic but adding Devin vocals become a masterpiece! And yes, as MadGebs said, at the end of the song I was STILL HUNGRY to hear it again and again and I felt sad cause the song was over. I think I 've listened to this song at least 200 times and I broke 8 pairs of headphones after I installed an app that emphasizes all the sounds (Boom 3d) because , of course the normal sound for the song was not enough for me (in a scale where the volume goes from 1 to 10 I always choose 10 for this song or for Funeral) Such a cool and clever song ! So dear MadGebs you really need to see/hear " Funeral " and go check the "Sex And Religion" project by Steve Vai where mr. Devin Townsend is really great too. Sorry for this papyrus but I had to put down my emotions sometimes.

[@TwoandaHater]

Universal Flame sits right between this and Kingdom, and the version from this same concert is really good.

[@kobebeef7692]

Miss ya MadGebs!

[@Blackened4everPS3]

Grace live at The Retinal Circus. Unbelievable in the same way this is.

[@zeigbert1743]

I love the wall of sound. Great reaction.

[@chrisrife2700]

Spirits will collide - fantastic

[@danielsanguino7856]

Love seeing your reactions! and with devy heavy is a +

[@MeinOhrenkino]

Devin is so amazing... love his this performance so much.

[@Bherf]

He IS from another planet, Ziltoidia, to be precise.

[@TheRealGabrielHuber]

Went to a concert of his in Munich. He's freaking awesome!!!

[@lavolpe7070]

love your reactions. Stay healthy

[@MrLovetannveien]

Love your reaction :) xxx

[@johnwashlack2462]

I've met Devin in Pittsburgh he's so lovable, genuine and down to earth. You feel that during his concerts. It's nice to see someone appreciate my kind of music. Drink up!!

[@menfalling]

great ! look at his quarantaine concert ;funny and amazing !

[@Squeesher]

I love watching people experience this, facewatching (and the cats in the background, adorable)

[@antares3540]

Anneke Van Giersbergen & Devin Townsend - Ih Ah! An acoustic song with two angelic voices

[@Adrian-ey5xp]

Hello from Australia..love your appreciation of this guys talent.Mr Towsend is a performer of the highest caliber..I'm 49 ..into metal since 9 ..as it's progressed ..death..black metal etc.ive followed it closely.its in my DNA....but as much as I like death metal black metal etc...I watch this guys talent and it's blows me away..anyway keep up the great reaction vids.😀👍

[@inkagiz]

He is so underrated. I’m proud to be born and raised in the same small time city of Vancouver 🇨🇦as Devin. We are spoiled here with the chance to see him perform on various stages and capacities in town. He’s super humble, funny, talented and a proud Vancouverite as well. 🤘🏻😝🇨🇦

[@jamesfowler3026]

I'd suggest Grace from the Retinal Circus. He shares vocals with Dutch singer Anneke van Giersbergen and they mesh beautifully.

[@Ahris22]

Try Pixillate by Devin Townsend ft. Anneke van Giersbergen for something really cool. :)

[@DW-ug9ze]

one of the greatest songs ive ever heard, the version from his halloween concert is so awesome.

[@robingelebal8447]

And, of course, the awsome 'Grace'

[@forceghostanakinskywalker575]

GRACE!!! Definitely GRACE.

[@peterottes6900]

It was fun to watch you discover this song. I feel the same way.. He is amazing.

[@kjellhallgreen7075]

Death of music is a journey 🥰

[@glassmasterflash]

Ok, now dow Grace from the Retinal circus show or Why from his quarantine show.

[@Czarewich]

Great reaction! I recommend Devin Townsend's album "Empath". Definitely my fave album of all time, I can't recommend it enough. To be honest I feel like almost everything Devy touches is perfect. Casualties of Cool with Che Aimee Dorval, The Devin Townsend Project, Strapping Young Lad, Ayreon's "The Human Equation" it's all so good. Not only is it all good, but there's so much variety. I feel so fortunate that I got to see Devy and Che Aimee Dorval live in Toronto just before Covid-19 hit Canada hard.

[@auduneikli9862]

A great, and authentic reaction!

[@eddieismygod]

Was at that gig and my god it was an amazing night, so glad you have devvy in your life now 😁

[@GotMeStumped]

I absolutely luv your videos. Cheers from🇨🇦😊

[@Nick-gb2ki]

Glad you were finally able to get this one out. It's great to see your reactions - you are so expressive! 😃

[@Nick-gb2ki]

Oh, yeah, and try his song Grace. You'll dig it.

[@erikmaronde2244]

This is one of the definite songs by Devin Townsend, I love it! And last year life it was a blast! My cat likes it, too BTW...

[@Alithia451]

Spirits will collide Video version.

[@rogermortis6583]

I'm so sorry. I missed the Minneapolis date as well. Was all set to go and yanked away so brutally. Hadn't seen him in over a decade and was so looking forward to it. Heartbreaking.

[@TheGeritsch]

I like that red one behind you on the couch. And you, of course!!!

[@vidarsmestad9143]

Hyperdrive live with Anneke van Giersbergen. Theres a great live-video of that one on youtube, even better than the studioversion.

[@violatorut2003]

Yeah, I like the female vocalist better than the first version with Devin singing. I don’t know why. Maybe the mixing and engineering is better in the female version? Either way, original or female version, both are great songs. Wish there were more reaction videos for songs off his “Terria” and “Synchestra” albums. Anyways, dude is a genius.

[@cemerson]

There's a 28 min track which is a combination of 'Funeral', 'Bastard' and 'The Death Of Music' from the same gig, which is epic and well worth checking out. If it's not too long for a reaction video I urge you to try that! Also, Pixillate from the By A Thread concerts is fantastic too.

[@dylankopff7139]

Same reaction I had my first listen but you made a observation I missed your really great naturally at this I'm captivated with your voice, heart and exotic beauty DIZAM son

[@lavolpe7070]

i love your reactions.

[@paulmcintyre141]

Funny, because he basically is my next door neighbor. Well he grew up, across the river from me. Good Canadian kid.

[@tiqo8549]

Look at the red cat holding a paw on the white cat in the background. How sweet! ...good reaction btw. lol

[@perustc9158]

He's a legend... Eddie Van Halen can make you feel the same way.... neighbor!

[@KillerwhaleTRX]

WoW!!

[@notjustforme8857]

Have you looked into Type-o-negative yet? They know a thing or two about being heavy and groovy :) Cool reaction, very enjoyable. And thank you for not pausing :)

[@vinnieflynn9843]

I love how much you love Devin :)

[@_jm0n3y8oo_]

This performance, and Sohyang Everyone/bridge over troubled water are the greatest performances I’ve ever witnessed and my eyes sweat every time

[@r.l.turner5582]

If you're not afraid of the paint peeling off your walls find the album "Sex and Religion" by Steve Vai with Devin guesting on vocals. "Here and Now", "Still My Beating Heart", "Sex and Religion", "Dirty Black Hole" and "Down Deep Into The Pain" are all Towns-alicious. Hope you enjoy them.

[@sniperbob1992]

This concert was such a pure sound, I had to buy the DVD! Funny you said about him "making you feel like you're on another planet", considering the first part of the concert was the Z2 album! Speaking of which, I suggest "March of the Poozers" next for something a little fun.

[@ryadtu8889]

Over the festive period I started listening to an Australian metal band called Polaris. Outstanding. Since I love Tool, Gojira and Nightwish I'm sure you'd enjoy them also. Happy New Year from Scotland 🙌

[@sVieira151]

Great reaction! I feel the exact same way about Devin. His music just makes you feel emotions deep down and it feels all encompassing. For some other suggestions: Grace (live at Retinal Circus) Stormbending Deep Peace (live in Plovdiv)

[@justinjensen6818]

He did 2 or 3 screams there towards the end so powerful he almost lost his voice for the rest of the song but he just held on! Devin brings it every time

[@mincentprice1041]

Thanks vrty much You made my day !I was picking up my rental car to drive to Chicago the day it cancelled. Come to his Christmas Concert on the 23rd and celebrate his music with us. It's an acoustic show, and that means his voice will be front and center on all of the songs. I love your channel and subbed with bell

[@TheScaryName]

You should most def check out the rest of this RAH concert, specifically "Funeral" "Bastard" and "The Death of Music".

[@Drummylife]

The death of music is an incredible song. The version from Plodvid is absolutely incredible

[@Hirethor]

His live version of Coast he did for CBC has really caught my ear recently

[@GergC0521]

I had tickets to see him for the First time in Baltimore and the pandemic hit.

[@rolfloucos]

he´s the best

[@Lamren]

He's got such a wide repertoire that I'm never too sure about what to recommend. It really depends on your mood and what you feel like listening to. I'd recommend "Mountaintop" from the dunlop session he did with Che Aimee Dorval, absolutely beautiful song in a completely different style than what you've heard so far !

[@g3synth205]

8:28 - cute sleepy kitty (kitties) I saw this posted the other day, and like 5-10 minutes after noticing it, I went to play it, and I noticed it was blocked. I'm so glad you were able to get it back up somehow. Oh, as far as a recommendation goes, I liked "More" from his EMGtv set (the same one "Kingdom" is from). It's a little harder (maybe a lot?), more screamy. I liked it a lot though. Kingdom gets all the attention, so this one seems to get overlooked often. He's pretty funny in it as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWxhZKlasyLeKs

[@k.schmitt1064]

Check out “Spirits Will Collide“ by Devin Townsend. And (for something totally different) if you never heard of it, check out “Sugaan Essena“ and / or “Wolf Totem“ by “The Hu“ (a mongolian Folk-Rock / Folk-Metal Band).

[@matrixview]

I remember you from Devy's Kingdom reaction vid! Great you did Deadhead live @ RAH. For some completely different amazing voices/artists check out these 2: Dimash - SOS (live at slavic bazar)... he's probably the best singer technically, so versatile, his range is "godlike"... Angelina Jordan - I Put a Spell on You... she's the biggest talent, she's so young but her voice is so mature... jazz, soul, pop, blues... Both of these singers are in a league of their own... it'll be a journey when you discover them.

[@npinjest7779]

Your next step depends solely on whether you want more in the same vein or whether you want to see other sides of DT. Deadhead and KIngdom are a good median point - he has stuff that's harder, heavier, faster, more extreme and on the other edge of the spectrum he's got smooth, delicate, light sounds that can bring just as much joy. If Deadhead and Kingdom are your sweet spot, you will probably love Supercrush, Stormbending, Higher, Failure, Numbered, Juular. If you want harder, more extreme, then Love or Detox are great places to start. On the lighter side would be Ih-Ah, Mountaintop, Why. Or you could check out Genesis, which sort of has all of the above )))) One thing I would recommend is checking out songs with his 2 great collaborators - Anneke van Giersbergen *Supercrush, Numbered, or Grace) and Che Aimee Dorval (Mountaintop) - those are stellar.

[@roblister3729]

You should watch him perform with his band Strapping Young Lad - live at download 2006

[@omegashinra7672]

I was in that crowd at Download in 2006. I'd never heard of SYL or Devin, but I was too close to the front and couldn't be arsed backtracking through the crowd so I stayed for SYL and had my entire body battered, blew my fucking mind and been a fan ever since.

[@christophersessions3375]

Or buy the album "City". It's a top ten metal record of all time, any genre.

[@GSARider]

I love your reaction videos not only because all your comments are great, also because you don't stop them to talk, please continue this way. And by the way, you must listen ... "In my time of need", "Hope leaves" and "Windowpane" by Opeth. These guys are metalheads but you'll be very surprised with the clean vocals into these songs.

[@Ozzpot]

If "guitarmanship" isn't a word, it should be.

[@terrinpeterson9899]

I'm a Guitarist, I approve. 🤘💪

[@kjellhallgreen7075]

Try "the death of music" from the same gig in the royal albert hall 🥰

[@eric_wood]

My favorite Devin Townsend song! He’s really able to capture emotion with his voice. If you want to really go on an emotional journey then you should react to the song A Solitary Reign by AMENRA. It’s so heavy and beautiful at the same time.

[@the_eaglefan]

Great reactions. I'm not trying to be a d*ck but he was the last show i saw before the lockdown, one of the last shows they did before canceling. He was amazing. Definitely go see him if you get a chance.

[@TentaclebuckeT]

Devin Townsend - The code Awesome song from the album "casualties of cool." very subdued, haunting and beautiful.

[@justdave1270]

Dude I just started listening to the podcasts devin did during lockdown..... If you wanna go deeper down the rabbit hole they are on spotify

[@the13thhourmusicexperience14]

He was actually sick at this concert.

[@DlSASTERCHlLD]

If you want a recommendation on something fun to react to, try out other stuff in these same kinda circles, like something by Porcupine Tree or Opeth. Mikael in Opeth has got an interesting voice for sure, so maybe a live shot of 'Ghost of Perdition' or something! The song 'Anesthetize' from Porcupine Tree's show Live in Tillburg is also a great, dreamy experience.

[@jesperschultz5568]

Check out “Feather” “Stormbending” or “Supercrush” by Devin too. If you wanna go down another path: “Aviations - Outliers”. They’re all fantastic tracks. Thx for reacting 😊🙏

[@hansikursch484]

Tipsy Gebs is the cutest Gebs lol 😂. Very entertaining reaction!

[@Doesewicht]

3 thumbs up fo rthe cats in the background

[@zachw9128]

Your beautiful, and he is amazing! That is all🙂

[@_jm0n3y8oo_]

The fact that he was getting over the flu at the time is even more incredible

[@travisarmener6178]

Heavenly Devenly

[@jbones1987]

lol check out that Lagunitas!

[@denothor1320]

If you want one that hits right in the feels, I highly recommend 'Death of music' from the same consert as this one.

[@Hambiscuits]

Definitely check out Annekke van Giersbergen. His "background" singer.

[@lynndalton733]

Have you seen live with the Bulgarian orchestra?? I DIED.

[@adhdorcasbrainbumps]

I think with Devin, he’s less a musician and more an artist. In the broadest sense, and imho, it’s less about just listening to him but opening all of your senses up to experience him and his music- akin somewhat to a religious or epiphany moment. He is a force to be reckoned with and gives me goosebumps every time I listen and see him.

[@adhdorcasbrainbumps]

Also check out his album and music videos of Ziltoid the Omniscient!

[@johnwashlack2462]

Try listening to the album Transcendence. It's very representable to what you've heard. Enjoy!

[@Galacticat_]

Do "Bastard" from the same concert!

[@j_muller]

Nice, but is heaven-metal complete without metal's Tinker-Bell (Anneke) spinkling her high-pitched gold-dust in the background? I miss her. :-)

[@redhead6175]

Devin Townsend | Hyperdrive | First Play Live

[@lisalazovich6222]

Please play his song Ki. A completely different soul touching side of him

[@sniperbob1992]

Another powerful song he does that's sort of an anti-suicide themed (but such a feel good) is "Spirits will Collide"

[@tomibanez6855]

Check out, Leprous - Slave (live version)

[@jimboninho]

You are so beautiful! Perfect combo to watch with Devin's music. ;)

[@otakumagnet8106]

As much as you love Devy, you should really react to "Mountaintop". It is a completely different style of singing than anything else I've heard from him, and it's a duet.

[@bigyodatheman]

Hoping you're doing good.

[@wargamerarmaverse6272]

You should try out "Failure" you won't be disappointed.

[@alexanderfinz1297]

Hi. Please try The Death of Music live at Royale Albert Hall.
