DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT - War (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO)

[@createvil]

Devin is an alien... F*cking out of this world. Marvelous!

[@tianasixkiller4771]

Anneke's vocals compliment Devin's so well. Absolutely perfect. I couldn't think of another that would fit. Very excellent match.

[@speeddemonji9547]

Che Aimee Dorval works all with him too

[@BigTanDan]

This song is 25 y/o this year, 2023. Just moves me all the same ✊🏻

[@lastcrazyhorn]

Holy shiitake.

[@thiagokeyboardist]

Holly crap

[@aafisher100]

And I only discovered it 2 years ago 🤷‍♂️

[@magamegabamba]

I just love how Devin shows metal isn’t all dark and grimy. Of course he has his deep/brutal songs (like deadhead, juular and so on), but still he has songs like this one, like Universal Flame, like Kingdom, which just make you feel good

[@Mircheeks]

And Grace! 😎🙌

[@laekrits]

We got a good couple of decades of dark, grimy Devy (o; kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5_TgZxuotBqjaM

​@Mircgraceheeks Noone wants your evangelical grace b.s.

[@SkaterDuck92]

0:35 that scream still give me the chills after all this years

[@speeddemonji9547]

For me it’s always the “1!2!3! FOUUURRRR!” From the studio version

[@jo-fhreycorpuz]

Total performer, talented musician, awesome singer

[@basosz]

Can we call this Happy Metal?

[@juancarlosv5136]

Wow, you're absolutely right

[@ИгорьКруглов-п5р]

Yes

[@jimzillar1749]

Actually, it's Devy Metal 🤘

[@speeddemonji9547]

Iirc when Devin wrote this album he was inspired primarily by broadway

[@yak6896]

Nerd Metal

[@ursus9982]

How the hell did I miss Devin Townsend fucking blowing up!!!!!!! I regretfully stopped listening after SYL. This shit is great!!!

[@Dejoblue]

+Scott Sarin The democracy of the internet man, the cream really gets to rise to the top when the record companies are not the gate keepers anymore.

[@LiquidSpartan117]

+Scott Sarin some here my man.. lmao go Davin!

[@windriderrr]

+Scott Sarin Well although its interpretation is a bit different, this song was released after City. Anyway I'm with you with the little disappointment after SYL's split-up, but after getting into the DTP, I'm even more hooked on them than I was in SYL. In any case, if you haven't listened to it yet - Epicloud is a beast. Cheers!

[@AAVVVAAADDAAAKAAADAVRAAA]

Scott Sarin devin has been doing dtp sense B4 syl

[@alickswiden71]

Daniel Hirt no... SYL formed in 1994, DTP Addicted! was in 2009...

[@mgkpraesi]

Anneke still a Bomb. After so many Years.

[@GoatBlaat]

And still is! And she's absolutely adorable in person :)

[@Mizziri]

Anneke is the only one who can hold a candle to Devin when it comes to singing.

[@HauntingTheHoly]

False.

[@decespugliatorenucleare3780]

Yeah false because she can't: when Devin starts singing you can clearly tell the 2 different levels.

[@sheldoncooper8199]

@@decespugliatorenucleare3780 Wow you just replied to an 3 year old comment you dont even know if his account still exists

[@franticfactory]

@@decespugliatorenucleare3780 You aren't very familiar with Anneke, are you? She and Devin are definitely comparable levels.

[@discomfort5760]

Without Anneke, Devin would not have his voice for long. Without Anneke, we'd probably not have DTP

[@ThinkBigAnimation]

That 'Do Wahp' part gets me every single time. It's just a perfect, hilarious surprise

[@gre8]

Of all of Devin's songs, this is the epitome of his "wall of sound" concept.

[@windriderrr]

+diskmaskin8888888888 My thoughts exactly after reading the comment above :]

[@WeWantYouToStay]

"QUIET JUST A LITTLE BIT OF QUIET PLEASE! JUST STOP THE NOISE FOR ONCE! PLEASE!!"

[@alickswiden71]

Angel..

[@6hypnone]

I've never been to one of his shows, but the interaction b/t the band and the audience /fans... Seem like the biggest friendly family ever.

[@crawshaws1234]

Deffo worth going. I was at this show and it was absolutely mind blowing.

[@rattlehead9127]

Saw him at a fairly small venue in Minneapolis years ago after Transcendence came out. He interacted with the crowd and even took a special request from an audience member. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to. I've been on a huge Devin kick lately so I'll be looking out for him when he comes around again and I'd suggest you go if you get the chance.

[@6hypnone]

@@rattlehead9127 oh I'd love to. But right now, and for past 6 yrs been too ill with lyme. I've her treating for 8 but not much progress. Switching it up now so hoping it will start helping. So I'll have to see Dev from afar for now! If you see him say hey from Danielle and wish could be there! Hehe

[@marlonromero9385]

My goodness this is absolutely beautiful

[@21hatchetface]

Can't believe I just discovered this shit 2 months..Devin is a fucking genius..its about the most epic sound I've ever heard

[@pato10111]

Only discovered this dude a few weeks ago. Holy crap. He's literally the most talented metal musician i've ever seen. Did he maybe just end up pigeonholed in the wrong genre? He should be huge.

[@martinmueller2133]

I never thought the word “bop” could be sang so beautifully

[@pierrebugblatter]

this guy is epic-Id never heard of him till 5 minutes ago!

[@fuzzo73]

Welcome to the freakshow, friend. If you haven't already, check out the albums Accelerated Evolution or Addicted. Or Epicloud. Or anything from the last 20 years really; Anneke sings on alot of his stuff and she's got her own various bands going back to the 90's.

[@ace88bf]

so after more than a year how was the devin townsend rabbit hole? lol

[@coolmum47]

That's just what has happened to me, a friend just sent me a clip on IM and I'm hooked !!!

[@einienj3281]

This is just perfect! Devin is a god and Anneke is an angel! ❤❤❤

[@DonTheMoron716]

She is so beautiful.

[@arsgoetiam]

Is it just me or this is the best fucking thing on earth?

[@arno-luyendijk4798]

Interesting. I just discovered this man's music, and somehow, it has an enormous relaxing effect on me. Good start to hear more from him.

[@Nulimitz]

His voice resonates on so many levels. It’s melodic and at the same time soul soothing..

[@lastcrazyhorn]

[@tranquilitybase6417]

Back in the day I dreamed about playing in shows like this.

[@lohankarachay476]

Same

[@Nyarlah]

What a genius of a man. It's sad nobody followed, but it's also nice that Devin has been a unique sound and music for now decades.

[@Gravy1255]

Ever listened to Tricot? Nothing like DT, but unique and awesome in their own right.

[@matthewhart6857]

Devi gives me goose bumps. Not many do but this fucker does often.

[@klausr.erlacher3546]

What a masterpiece ...

[@CharlesViante]

Love you Anneke! 🤘🏻❤🤩🎶🎵🎶🎵🍀

[@jutjubow]

Very unique and amusing. This is what I call an eargasm.

[@leifbaker6921]

My new favourite band. Thanks Devin

[@IndelibleAndy]

Still love these Roundhouse gig releases. I know it was a decade ago, but they are still so good. Man I wish I could have been there.

[@MrSirDrew]

Lyrics In the morning 'bout three or so Can't stop thinking about what I know In the morning 'bout three or so Can't stop thinking of the universe I keep rocking, I keep rolling Trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there Keep dropping, keep rolling Put out the fire with the water Thinking creosote I the morning with a beat up bud I know I can't fight a war without losing blood In the morning 'bout three or so Can't stop seeking what I need to know God is in the mountain as is in the rock And god is not concerned about keeping stock So keep rocking, keep rolling Trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there Keep dropping, keep rolling Put out the fire with the water Thinking creosote All he ever wanted was to be alone But you can't feel love without being loved All we ever wanted was love Love! We can see the enemy, they say Hey! we don't want your war It's quite nice, white light, it's quite, it's quite extraordinary! Window! It's a window! It's white! It's quiet, quiet God, quiet! Just a little bit of quiet please Just stop the noise for once, please

[@JoseMTamez]

Man, I'd like to hear that live! That's a big fat sound! Fucking guitars are wailing! Of course RVP throwing down on a nice groove in the shadows. You love those bass drum triplets...me too!

[@adahbombdon1512]

Easily the coolest performing band. Every person on stage brings life to this fucking epic time. I can't wait to see him personally, even my 4 and 3 yr old can't wait to see march of the poozers!!

[@einienj3281]

Devin is god!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@robinthickemusic.]

Do you enjoy my songs?🎶

[@Velocipeden]

This might be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[@lumpy74]

me too and can't stop watching it

[@juancarlosv5136]

After decades of rock/heavy metal I can say that this is the greatest music I've ever heard

[@MegaMetalus]

The musicians are so tight! I'm completely submerged by Anneke Van Giersbergen and the song of Devin Townsend...Wow!

[@WinteryearStudiosLosAngeles]

Devin is his own genre.

[@JadeIsBunny]

That guy in the middle at 2:06 is so fucking happy.

[@johnnybusta]

Wouldn't you be! :D

[@nickkohlmann]

Amazing :D

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

Can’t believe this was 10 years ago! Still got my retinal circus shirt 🤘🤘

Devin is a genius, very hard to understand, very easy to enjoy

[@Liz-cmc313]

I need to these two together again. 🔥🔥💯

[@Lordschaft1313]

holy shit! man, this is entertaining, what a show! epic.

[@V8-B6]

This is a metal opera!

[@paulreedsmith7898]

Dev must have a fuck ton of money to be putting on such extravagant shows all the time with so many different acts going on in the show

[@PERPowns]

+Paul reed Smith The people backing him are the ones with all the money, bb.

[@tgchan]

+Paul reed Smith What it really shows is that he cares about his fans a lot, and tries to put the best show he can afford.

[@jethroreading7168]

+Paul reed Smith Yeah, he revealed his salary recently, and it turns out its pretty small because he spends like all of it on doing insane stuff like this c:

[@kehmeli7140]

You dont do this for money :P By that Devin earns more respect from me. going to see him in February :3

[@ulisesdiaz4002]

Impressive. Cheers to Devin's creativity and skill.

[@chrishorst1318]

War!!!!

[@The1stMrJohn]

saw him live with Steve Vai Twice in 1993, Birmingham NEC England

[@suesutton9226]

Lucky!! I saw him around 7 months ago playing solo - accoustic in NZ in an old Movie theatre - he was Amazing and SO entertaining

[@windmill10]

Devin's sound engineer should really make an appointment with the NightWish sound engineer to compare notes. It would be so nice to be able to actually hear Anneke.

[@sleuthed]

god im so envious of everyone who was able to be there!

[@houldeyj72]

How does Devin know what goes on in my head?

[@glitterfaerie08]

Yup me too even in the early days of his career...:O

[@IARECupcakereptar]

Devin Townsend is not a musician. He’s a wizard whose mana is Metal 🤘🏾

You're a Wizard Devin! *Hagrid's voice"

[@mdax2351]

[@mauricelemmens3244]

Soon oh soon, Anneke will be in the upcoming version of 'Beste zangers 2021' . Yessssss, finally some recognition from the mainstream tv media. Looking forward!

[@moira4707]

Will she be? That'd be so great for her!

[@hawkeye3122]

Such an incredible sound and sight! Awesome and what a lucky bunch of people to be there to see it!

[@COLSTIR]

Ending "Truth" with this song never fails to get me pumped up. The transition between the songs creates a build-up of explosive cosmic wonder that blows up as soon as he says War! Fucking awesome!

[@marongen]

Love this song, love Anneke

Yo lo descubrí hace poco y me voló la cabeza !

[@LotusEater14]

They need to turn up Anneke's mic.

[@leeschofield488]

LotusEater14 This isn't live, it's the song played over a video.

[@zoomoo318]

Lee Schofield no, this is definitely live.

[@MattCooketheomniscient]

Devin uses pre-recorded (or programmed) tracks live for instrument parts and other sounds the band can't replicate. But all the singing (save a few backing vocal tracks in his live shows), guitar, bass and drums are performed live.

[@alickswiden71]

It's clearly live, but yes he uses some backing tracks. and because of that and that there's so much going on, her mic level is a really delicate thing. she's not too quiet where you can't hear her, but you don't want her to be too loud either

[@BoultonOKelly]

This is insane and I love it. Angle grinders on stage. Sold!!!

[@NettoPavao]

fenomenal, absolutely fenomenal!

[@loonatic1071]

10x better than the album version

[@Kurioso-pv3qo]

That's how it should always be.

[@JulietteZephyr]

Some of these comments on this video are really sexist... Devin has worked with Anneke as well as Che Aimee Dorval and is interested in collaborating with talented musicians **regardless of sex** so quit yer bitching. Talent is talent. I think people need to accept the fact that women are just as present in heavy metal as men these days; we're increasingly a huge part of the fan base and audience members at shows. We are not there to be leered at as some kind of space oddity at these shows whether we are spectators or onstage. We care about the music just as much as you guys. We will keep attending shows and playing shows regardless of what some may wish.

I know they're both married and probably happy, but Devin and Anneke would be the ultimate couple in metal and all of music if they'd just confess their undying love for one another.
