DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT - March Of The Poozers (Live at Royal Albert Hall). Taken from the DVD "Devin Townsend Presents: Ziltoid Live at the Royal Albert Hall). Inside Out Music 2015.

[@peterlawson584]

Nothing screams metal like a big, friendly, bald, funny Canadian man with a guitar the size of the millennium falcon that has a built in smoke machine singing a song about giant, pink, coffee addicted ass cheek aliens invading Earth and killing everyone while Pikachu and Stitch headbang in the front row.

Metal as F.U.C.K!!!

[@nilsmichael3879]

This might be the best comment on KZbin, ever!

[@shawnayant5636]

One of my favorite things I've ever read. I can't remember where I heard him say this either (live somewhere) but he introduced this song as "here's a song about farting ballsacks" or some shit lol. I've never laughed so hard, til now!

[@DelgadoOnaindia93]

"So where do ya work." I wear a pink pooza' costume and dance to da rythm. My dream job

[@ArchibaldClumpy]

"Ya went to college, and what are ya now Mattie, just a pink fuckin pooza, you're a fuckin pooza on stage!"

[@Jazza66]

Does anyone else think that Devin would have been perfect for the role of the guitar player in Mad Max Fury Road?

[@westgoten]

For a while i was convinced it Was him :D

[@Whooooooops]

@@westgoten oh my god you're right, that's amazing

[@chaosapiant]

Nope. If Devin played in that movie there would have been peace everlasting.

Isn't Devin just perfect for everything by default?

[@stormangelus6638]

@Swabby Shreds Where? I don't remember seeing him?

[@Kingcrab0]

I just saw him live and he introduced this song as "I'm about to play a song about a ball sack." His crowd engagement is outstanding.

[@Hellion6325]

Haha, I saw him live in 2016? He said "This song's about farting ballsacks!" before playing this one. Good times

[@lukasgraesslin]

Best comment :D

[@honeypotusername]

Devin doesn't give a shit. He knows that he isn't careful with things, which is why he chose Framus; their guitars are unbreakable.

[@hans1426]

Ayreon 👌😉

[@BoTraK]

That little falsetto @1:25 still cracks me up every single time, the placement, the sound, his expression with it. Just sheer fun and actually very inventive. Mad, mad skills in just that second.

[@rinozisa9396]

If Devin Townsend wasn't a musician he would be a mad scientist. So lets all appreciate that he is creating goofy music instead of making potions that turn people into frogs.

[@alexz2702]

The amount of work that went into this is wow.

[@fadeskywards1245]

I know! It's amazing!

[@AstraVex]

That baritone guitar has a smoke machine and twin lasers inside it....That is both physically and metaphorically HEAVY AS FUCK!!!

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

It also has lasers and an Evertune bridge system. I think he said it weighs about 25 lbs which is why he only used it on the one song and also why he's walking around slouched over, lol.

[@TheJPomp]

It's not a normal 7-string?

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

TheJPomp Nope. Just look at it. It's huge! It was custom made just for Devin. Besides the lasers, lights and the smoke machine, it has an extended scale length. That means that the distance between the bridge and the nut is longer than in a normal guitar, making it a baritone guitar. It also has an Evertune bridge, which keeps it from going out of tune under most conditions. Evertune systems are also pretty heavy compared to other bridge types.

[@timothyfunk1883]

Devin has the most epic guitars. This one is just about the best thing I have ever seen!

[@lred1383]

@@Duncan_Idaho_Potato I know i'm many years late for this comment, but i'm pretty sure he was slouched over because if he stood upright, the bottom "leg" of the guitar would be a serious tripping hazard

[@RothSchatten]

To sing this and not fall into uncontrollable giggling is a sign of true professionals

[@littlejane5805]

The cheekyness of that "oh" makes the song and turns my mind on!

[@TheElOcean]

That guitar is absolutely ridiculous.

[@reubenginsburg2012]

yeah, and it also had a goddamn smoke machine and LED lights! neither Framus or Devin have really released much about it or if it will be for sale. but on Devin's KZbin page he has a video of the first time out of the case and testing the smoke, it's pretty cool

[@jamesbannister7512]

Dev says that fucking thing weights 24 pounds. Has LED lights. Vaporizor for effects. 7 string tuned stupid low. Open b with a low e I think. Says that's why he's hunched over in this video from the weight

[@omarsharif927]

@@jamesbannister7512 Dame lol 24 pounds that's insane a buddy of mine got an old Peavy bass sucker was so heavy he said he would never play it on stage.

Yeah i thought vucket heads les paul was huge but this takes the cake.

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

@@reubenginsburg2012 He said in an interview that if that guitar was put for sale the retail price would be €42000. That's probably why it's not available.

I always thought it sounded like if a Tim Burton movie had a metal score.
