Devin Townsend Project Interview part 1 for Morow.com The Prog Radio

[@verbaledge]

glad this guy gets so much respect now. seems very honest and down to earth

[@phoenixdk]

I recognise so much, personally, in this story. How great it is that this guy is doing what he wants, and can live a good, honest life because of it!

[@SonicVision]

There you go folks, a musician tells his history, shows his evolution in 10 minutes. Excellent. Way to go Devin.

[@Jagguar20]

Wow Devin is a true musician. Lots of respect for him!

[@Jordy666sic]

An interview that starts with A Monday can't go wrong. Devin doesn't mention The Hummer very often. Hearing him say he's very proud of it makes me like it even more. Amazing piece of work. Love how he gives a 10 minute answer.

[@sarahsullivan2156]

Simply Inspirational... Thank you Devin for your honesty...

[@metmass]

There is no other musician that has ever inspired me as much as Devin Townsend.

[@ROONTANG]

Very interesting. Good on Devin for being honest with himself and his fans. Too many musicians simply do what they're told or what ever sells records. I'm not a SYL fan but Devin's a really cool dude.

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. Interesting interview. Time for Part 2. Hail Devin Townsend.

[@metallifuk1970]

Give the man a prize!! Definately water. He;s sober now and still is a GOD! Devin Rules!

[@Daisysoneworld]

Hence the diveristy he brings to all of his albums, you will never go bored with Devin Townsend

[@Fractal40]

I'll listen to anything this guy creates, period.

[@Jagguar20]

Great interview.

[@FormerlyMrBean667]

This is probably the best explanation of his career ever, and why he wants to do what he wants to do.

[@chillifarmerjoel]

I have tix for the 2010 sydney, Australia show.....can't wait!! what a sincere,honest interview. I love the heavy ass strapping stuff but i also love the other end of the spectrum..a true allrounder...Dev you rule!!

[@triggerhoppe]

I can respect him for always doing what his heart told him.

[@tgchan]

great interview!!!!! thank you for upload!!!

[@jason_willis]

I can relate to Devin on so many levels.

[@KevPez-IS]

9:24, what he just said there was brilliance. I have only appreciated him more since the solo stuff. SYL was always decent, but by far his solo stuff appeals to me more. Devin is with out a doubt among the biggest influences of my life.

[@MorbidAzagthothDeath]

so proud he comes from the same streets i do

[@cgmaster]

Devin is an outstanding artist and a very pleasant person! This guy has my respect )

[@TomBandfield]

Ahhhh I can't wait for his new album :D

[@OXCerberusX0]

looking foward for his next album, addicted was amazing.

[@jdessell]

Honesty. An unusual trait in the entertainment industry. There should be more people like this guy.

[@IXTHROWXBOLTS]

Devin will never die

[@dorianisdori]

The Yoda Of Music :)

[@thrasher90]

I hope he doesnt worry about losing fans, cuz, I mean... Well myself I've listened to SYL the most, but what I'm out for is his talent, and whatever feeling he tries to express, I'm convinced that he will do great!

[@rockinout11]

"thank you sir...its good to know that we have at least one true music fan in here"

[@SideWays8Productions]

when i FIRST learned of Devin back when i was little, i thought he was a mentally unstable teenager that wrote really epic music and was totally awesome. then when i learned he was a layed back chill dude my mind was blown. now i understand how he feels about the differences between him and his music. im pretty much the same way, too. its either old school death metal or melodic pwoer metal.

[@AstraVex]

What a really nice, honest interview :)

[@iamcharliecooper]

Brilliant. Dev rules.

[@Poptartsthatareplain101]

I love this guy. I met him in person. He's really nice~

[@guitarman3190]

really good interview :)

[@emperor262626]

I Always Wonder how a Such Calm Guy like DT make music so extreme like SYL, REAL TALENT

[@7hird3ye]

god hes a fucking genious, just able to emotionally connect to his music...something you hardly see at all in modern music Devin is awsome XD

[@jburde]

I love how he turned down a scholarship. I don't know about his, but my parents would flip shit. Keep doing what YOU want, Devin! :D

[@Vorryngr]

Devin owns! \m/

[@pranakhan]

Its great how open Devin is about how he feels. I love his work & he seems like a cool guy as well. What he is saying here reminds me of what Maynard James Keenan from Tool must have come up against dealing with the "persona" of Tool. Just a random thought.

[@gallaghim]

It's Fantastic to see him talking about his time in The Wildhearts, one of my all time favourite bands. There's vids of Devin play live with them on youtiube, search for 'The Wildhearts Reading Festival' :)

[@dinkthestink123]

he always gives the longest answers hahaha. love dev

[@Shadowjak101]

"and then I ended up on a couch, with a san pelegrino, talking to morow" that was hilarious lol

[@Floskeknosk]

Thanx, I know I've listened to one track from "Ocean Machine". The one is "Things Beyond Things" and I I'll you, if the whole album is like that song it seems very promising!

[@svinariezas]

From restaurant to Steve Vai's band. Unbelievable:]

[@DortheKarinLarsen]

Devo!!! My hero :-))

[@SHREEEEED]

THE master

[@MikeAsHimself]

"what I ended up becoming popular for... was being an asshole... and so I got very good at it!" Lol :D

[@howlindan49]

yeah wildhearts are awesome

[@NeuroticNexus]

I recommend "Ocean Machine!" But if you find your entrance to his style (where he sometimes hardly has any, positively) you should ( and will I am certain) buy all of his albums (DTB to SYL!)

[@nrb6666]

i wanna be bald and wear glasses now. thanks to this fucker im obsessed with baritone flying V's, so much im not spending a penny until his sig is released, we love you devy!

[@Mel7vc]

@TehBuhmDiggeee The Ki singer - Che Aimee Dorval. She's on Facebook. Fabulous voice, sings on various tracks on that album, not just Trainfire.

[@tiki2188]

So weird seeing him without the skullet

[@ZombolicBand]

i can really relate to the music he does, alot of my riffs sounds similar to his style of music´, mostly in the later albums in his carreer, not with SYL.

[@TehBuhmDiggeee]

I've listened to Devin throughout the ages and I think I've heard what he's trying to say. The revelations he had when his Century Media contract was up were fairly synchronized with my own at the time. The Ocean Machine: Biomech stuff, Devlab and Hummer are seriously worth a listen if you're unfamiliar with Dev as an artist. Wasn't crazy about Addicted and I thought Anneke bastardised most of the album but I'm sure Decon will be a lot better.

[@fisherdoodguy23]

6:10 I didn't forget, Devin.

[@Floskeknosk]

And he's freakin hot now! Seriously, the shaved head fits him very well! Not gonna talk about looks though. I only have "Terria" and I think that's pretty decent album. Any advice on which other Devin album to check out? Any experts?

[@DSkehan2004]

yeah, Alien and Ziltoid the Omniscient

[@JeffreyMulac8]

Strapping young lad was awesome for the same reason that Brendan Small is a genius with Dethklok. I saw DK live, and they are old, bald guys blasting away, laughing at themselves and us. Spinal Tap for those too serious about how "dark and evil" their music is. I work in a prison, and see REAL evil every day. The parody of death metal is hilarious. Music is supposed to be fun. Devin can do anything, including laugh at himself.

[@blgengin]

He is wearing the same things in all videos :)

[@Drizzlehell]

@Floskeknosk Infinity is a rather interesting record that goes on a very intense journey musically, lyrically. Check that one out. The solo stuff does paint a nice picture about his life in my opinion.

[@91Tribual]

@ItsZebraMan music and crazyness I will make,yes!

[@BlueBarrier782]

lol I saw him at that Opeth tour, he was high as shit. He was good but seemed a bit on edge, makes sense now.

[@Khazandar]

@thrasher90 Like a lot of truly gifted musicians, he doesnt see himself that way ( i think).. So no he wont lose us, but he might think so anyway..

[@TehBuhmDiggeee]

@BluesMaddy Yeah, a female vocalist was undoubtedly a good move but I hate her voice. Anyone else would've been preferable. The girl on Ki who sings at the end of Trainfire is incredibly talented, has a beautiful voice and I think she contributes hugely.

[@willygfromdahood]

@blgengin yeah he owns maybe 4 outfits

[@PaXx]

did he say "tour with Opeth"? :O

[@revolvingroses]

@TehBuhmDiggeee Really? I thought she had a really beautiful voice, and that her vocals really helped contrast Devin's angry vocals.

[@wastralien]

@Floskeknosk You must, I really mean must, get Addicted.. Basically, if you really get into him, your in trouble, coz he has over 20 albums that he has done..

[@adrianrobertday]

I can so see why he left syl now.

[@TheVermifuge]

:Talking to Morrow (Tomorrow)

[@SonicVision]

@emperor262626 - Perhaps it's because he exorcises his demons through his music. Perhaps if he didn't have music to release through, he might have taken a different path?

[@pablox875]

¿what is the name of the song in the begin?

[@XcaptainXobliviousX]

@demigod325 lol, not so much, any more =P

[@SuperJosephVincent]

@fyuuor he aged better then one of my buddies.... he's 22 balding with grey hair it's fuckin crazy

[@Fearcity..]

wats the intro song?

[@BubuSnow93]

WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS ?!?

[@LexiSteve]

while i respect devin townsend musically it's hard to believe that at the time this was recorded he was 37! fuck he hasn't aged well, probably from all the weed and alcohol.

[@wosko]

@4thbeast I know he drinks near beers

[@DSkehan2004]

he cut his hair

[@psychofunksoldier02]

For my taste SYL is too heavy for me. DTP is the perfect blend of all things Devin IMHO.

[@DsexLive]

@Ne1s0n64 you can hit like and it will change.... do it, do it :D

[@ImIoOImI]

i try to see "new" devin but i only see the screaming devin :/

[@dafaucas]

@emperor262626 bipolar, and btw, im calmed too, and i write thrash and death, if you feel it, doesnt matter how you ate.

[@OHmygodXoBil3]

he doesn't look as fierce without his skullet XD

[@Foxer35]

@pablox875 A Monday, from Ki.

[@XcaptainXobliviousX]

@emperor262626 Calm? Not naturally. You know he takes meds for bipolar disorder right? xD

[@Deathz0r94]

@SuperJosephVincent My brother is 29 and is almost bald, ain't male pattern baldness a bitch?

[@Ne1s0n64]

Accidentally hit the dislike button...fuck.
