Devin Townsend ft. Gene Hoglan - Skeksis [LIVE - Devin's Crappy Halloween Party, 2020]

[@rokfersonrotineque5396]

To see Devin and Gene playing togheter after very long time, very close to pricless :)

[@unkind78]

They didn't play together.

[@markclancyphotography8944]

@@unkind78 yes they did in the past and in the time of that video just not in person ;)

[@ambiophonic]

Hevy Devy and the Atomic Clock! What a pair.

[@Zhgarr]

It made me so happy to see Devin and Gene play "together" again after all this time. Pure magic.

[@dustinparker9456]

Devins been playing more SYL songs lately and here is Gene.... is there something really cool on the horizon?

[@ehcmier]

He keeps talking about how he had to put it behind him for not relating to that emotional and mental state. He's making peace with it without reliving it. He was not healthy then and is trying to keep moving forward. Fans telling him that the dark stuff helped them get through their own dark stuff has helped Dev see a positive side of it.

[@bubbagidrolobidoo6730]

Is this not cool enough on its own?

[@rlm4471]

​@@ehcmier I agree, and I also think that some of the SYL tunes are probably easier than others for him to engage with now. Skeksis isn't a very dark tune lyrically, but you probably aren't going to hear Dev perform Shitstorm anytime soon.

[@DominicAirola]

Gene’s drumming was more inhumanly good than the actual drum machine on the rest of the songs.

[@ehoc42]

drum machines never sound good for rock/metal

[@Australalien89]

One of my favourite Strapping songs with my favourite drummer of all time. Fucking blessed. Thank you OP!

[@АртурКотельников-р2г]

Best SYL song ever!!

[@timmie2k3]

Man, the chemistry between Devin and Gene is just A+++. They seemed to have fun based on their Twitter posts, hopefully it means more collaborations again in the future!

[@Glurbschnurb]

One could say it's AAA!

[@lupiaan2021]

it's called SKEKSIS btw

[@lucasortigoza4379]

yeeees! My favorite SYL song! Devin still got it!

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

Ultimate, I haven't seen these two together since Seattle the Art of Noise tour 2003!

[@downtuned9000]

Devin and gene is probably one of the few things in 2020 that was good 🤘..... almost there just bring gene, jed and byron in on the Xmas stream kick the shit of 2020 and end the year of some great streams with pure gold... fingers crossed

[@jessicahayden4522]

Gene n devvvvvv together again 😈😈😈😈

[@AncientDirtbag]

Gene is looking good!

[@OriginalDarkMark]

Small Gene 👍🏻

[@emeere7049]

Vocals on point!

[@AlienorchestraNetoslo]

Gene Hoglan HELL YEAH!!

[@cor0ner]

Great! I'd like to hear SYL again.

[@elexitososenorp]

Thanks for sharing!! 🤘🤘

[@Shauning10]

No problems! If you’re in a position to, make sure to show Devin some support so that he can keep making and sharing this brilliant music!

[@countbleck35]

thanks for uploading this. i was also recording but since i usually have the browser muted for my twitch streams, the first hour was muted so i gave up lol

[@treeofnoreturn3238]

Just awesome! 🤘🏻

[@gringochucha]

Gene is such an amazing drummer, and it's a shame that the production on the last Testament album makes him sound like EZdrummer. I'll take the older, "shittier" production on an album like Symbolic any day, where you can hear the dynamics.

[@jaketaz2848]

Gene Hoglan: metal's answer to Neal Peart.

[@arekhautaluoma4276]

GENE!!!!!!

[@nietsrac]

Fuck I'd love to see Devin & Gene working together again...

[@Gubbins_McBumbersnoot]

Damn. Gene is a beast. Such an amazing drummer

[@rustyshackleford1785]

Gene effortlessly beats the shit out of those drums!

[@ajb-drums]

Aaah geeeene

[@beejw9150]

Is that also Devin playing bass and keys?!

[@Timocracy]

Wondered the same, body language seems to suggest that it is!

[@AlienorchestraNetoslo]

@@Timocracy looks like it's him

[@Nuclearmaniac666]

It was xD

[@CelticsDraftee]

And that looks like Devin's Zon bass, so yeah!

[@freakbpd]

yes its him, its also him on the other vids "playing" the drums lol

[@About2Crash]

Holy shit

[@amysdaddy1]

I'm so scared.

[@CatheteriZedEYE]

they don't call him the atomic clock for no reason

[@markclancyphotography8944]

Gene much thinner but just as heavy as before ;)

[@SylvainSangla]

Thanks, but it's "Skeksis", not "Skesis". ;-)

[@leeschofield488]

Surely the name of the song is Skeksis?

[@Shauning10]

You are correct - typo! Fixed

[@aerosport91]

This isn't Halo pc :(

[@VelvetKovorkian]

What key is this in ? Sounds lower than the CD ?

[@meshugeah]

Open C tuning, baby

[@demonslayervirgil600]

Open C with a low G since it was originally played on a 7-string

[@IvarsVMetal]

that's his open B guitar. Actually, I also noticed that this sounds lower. I guess he dropped that semitone so it's easier for him to sing this.

[@Marol2137]

@@IvarsVMetal He used this white framus for 7 string stuff (Pixillate and Skeksis, both in G) so from low to high its G-C-G-C-G-C

[@IronDugi]

Same key to be honest.

[@infinitesentient3545]

You gave it a good effort and I appreciate it. I hope your edits get better in the future. Maybe some crossfading issues or something. Dunno, not a professional. That's why I'm trying to critique very kindly. Cheers!

[@danielssonsgarage]

The stream was laggy, this dude just uploaded it

[@TheVermifuge]

Snare sample no good
