[@Gouranga_Man]

Alright, who all came here, knowing what was coming up and were just waiting? Devy reaction videos are a bit of a guilty pleasure.

[@71kevman]

i watch them all. lol

[@RushAss]

This man is a boss level musician. His range of work is surreal. Cheers!

[@MaddyReactions]

Definitely

[@RedBreadist]

dev is actually not classically trained. he's just a one-of-a-kind self taught dude that somehow got it right haha

[@Lolquake]

Exactly, whenever people ask him how he learned to sing like he does he says he just does it by sheer force of will, he doesn't know how he does it.

[@internaut4257]

he used to practice in a meatlocker at a butcher shop where he worked so nobody could hear him

[@CraigHamil]

Not strictly true. Yes he is mostly self taught particularly whith the musical aspects but vocally he was heavily involved with school choirs and local singing groups when he was younger.

[@andoletube]

@@CraigHamil People like to buy into a narrative. Just like the one relating to this performance about him having the flu - as though it was practically impossible for him to sing, yet he did anyway. Anybody who knows Devin's performances knows this is very close to peak Devin. We don't need to weave false narratives about him being mute until he was 17 and then he opened his mouth to sing. Just let his music do the talking - he doesn't need any preempting because he's incredible already.

[@jocelynbunn]

That's known as Devin's "Wall of Sound", layers and layers of sound sometimes so low you don't so much hear it, as feel it in your being! If you're looking for more theatrical Devin, I recommend his live covid quarantine version of the song "Why"!!

[@MaddyReactions]

Love it

[@martyk656]

My bro has been on his last few tours. Whether it's metal music or sparser stuff like his Casualties of Cool album, it is almost always songs with very lush arrangements. Devin Townsend is a tremendous singer and creates a positive vibe no matter the style of song he's performing.

[@MaddyReactions]

Nice description!! I enjoyed this!

[@vinnydelgado]

Btw, Casualties of Cool is one of my favorite album of all time.I have high hopes for the second one coming soon No one does haunted johnny cash-ish darkwave country like Devin (in fact, sadly no one else does that)

[@ChiefFalque]

@@vinnydelgado Devin and Ché * ... Her style is a perfect match for that vibe, and it adds so much to it!

[@bazkeen]

Can't wait for this one. Heavy Devy is unbelievable 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥 When Devin says to the crowd that at some point, pick a tempo, always cracks me up 😂😂😂 The sound is referred to as his wall of sound 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 For the opposite end of the spectrum try Why! from Devin's quarantine show. You will get a real kick out of that one 😂😂

[@lasagnasux4934]

Devin is such a fun musician. Good guy, good performer, and good musician. He does everything from deathcore to Disney covers.

[@MaddyReactions]

That’s awesome

[@6atoH4ik]

Hi. You just need to listen Failure ! Live Plovdiv (Blu-Ray). The real masterpiece. @@MaddyReactions

[@Elmonator]

Deathcore? No.

[@lasagnasux4934]

@@Elmonator I could've sworn I've seen him featured on a deathcore song.

[@depnox]

Most people will never know of Punky Bruster Cooked on Phonics

[@the13thhourmusicexperience14]

He was actually sick at this concert and still delivered. True legend.

[@thisusedtobemyrealname7876]

One of my guilty pleasures is to watch Devin melt the faces of vocal coaches on youtube. My personal opinion is that Devin is a gift from the aliens to the human race in an effort to understand the beauty of the universe more fully. Thanks for the reaction!

[@dougrabenberg7383]

Listen to the trilogy.....funeral, bastard and death of music at Royal Albert Hall....same venue....you won't regret it!

[@metalrulezU]

I laughed when you said its a good sign when you're audience has rythme and not 30 seconds before Devin was scolding them for not picking a tempo xD

[@MaddyReactions]

Hahaha 😝

[@GhoulishGrinMedia]

I really like Maddy’s description of Devy’s sound as warm and enveloping. A very atmospheric, beautiful sound. Like a warm Wall Of Sound. He’s metal’s Renaissance Man.

[@MaddyReactions]

Wow, thank you!

[@Liz-cmc313]

I highly recommend you watch the entire concert. Perfection! He performed while getting over a cold. That wall of sound is intense. And to think he didn't want to sing. He is my Lord & Savior 💯🤘🔥

[@mandyrhee]

(Request) Starlight by Oktaf Kanis, thank you Maddy ❤

[@bluerythmrecords-2705]

🔥🔥🔥

[@JohnRutherford-wn3zm]

Starlight 🙌🏻

[@rodwhitfield3029]

Fabulous selection, excellent reaction! Now you must do the 'EMGtv' version of 'Kingdom', the 'Retinal Circus' version of 'Grace' (where you get the added bonus of hearing the beautiful vocals of the wondrous Anneke Van Giersbergen), the 'Order of Magnitude' version of 'Genesis', then for something completely different, the Quarantine show version of 'Why', and he even does 'Les Mis'! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nprZaKmrec6frqc

[@kubulajagodzinski4355]

Nice song choice to react maddy

[@lewissmith4123]

I loved watching your reaction to the amazing Devin Townsend. His song Kingdom, from the same concert as this at The Royal Albert Hall should be your next reaction to Devin.

[@MaddyReactions]

Niceee

[@Zhgarr]

Devin Townsend ... gives you chills to the bone, giving you (and himself) goosebump.... also Devin Townsend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emWbknefg9llbc0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKiraZKpdtuhh9k I love this guy so much 🤣

[@scottwontorski1274]

Funny,I don't feel soothed. You are correct,he can sing!! Only problem is I have no idea what he said.😂. except Waaaaaaaaaaaa!

[@MaddyReactions]

lol 😆

[@VchaosTheoryV]

His live performance by CBC called 'Funeral" is all acoustic. It's a def must watch

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh I bet!

[@raymondzweigberg]

"Deadhead" is when an airlinepilot commutes between jobs. This song is about a musician commuting (deadheading) between jobs and arguing with his woman over the phone.

[@Eklipze3k]

Interesting side note, which I can't see anyone else has mentioned, he had a cold during this performance. Can you imagine doing these vocals when you're not 100%? Unreal!

[@MaddyReactions]

Whoa

[@justitia257]

Fantastici..Grazie Maddy

[@MaddyReactions]

🤍

[@stratusmind]

the audience was missing beats, so devin corrected them, lol. you can even see that when the backup guitarist chuckles... the crowd control in this performance is amazing

[@stratusmind]

he does look so happy that they are all there and feeling it though. you can se it on his face

[@cuillinguy]

You're right. Its absolutely emotional. I find it very raw and moving. Brings me to tears actually.

[@TXrapidracer]

He has one of the best drummers out there.

[@lowtiersupport5530]

If you legit want to go on an even crazier deeper enveloped journey without the need for lyrics, listen to the Pulse Live Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd. Yes there are lyrics, but the guitar solo at the end is something else and something you won't here from another version. As for more classical singing from Devin Townsend look up his "Why / Quarantine Show" Very Disney-esque

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh sounds cool!

[@JunkYardCardGuy]

You got a new sub! I LOVE Devin Townsend and his previous band, Strapping Young Lad. He's truly a mad genius... I'm sure you're getting zillions of requests for "Kingdom," but, I wish to steer you in the direction of his early magnum opus, "Almost Again."

[@rhinno1969]

you should check out his early stuff, singing for Steve Vai on Vai's album "Sex and Religion". Maybe watch the videos for "Deep Down Into the Pain" and "In My Dreams With You", a little different flavor than Dev's solo stuff 🤘

[@isuckatguitar6252]

I feel like Devin always brings passion, authenticity and depth to his performance, be it him expressing humour, love, pain whatever...u feel it!

[@Autofire80]

Gotta love Dev! He is a metal blanket!

[@vinniedixon1140]

Please react to a singer called Mike Patton, lead singer of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and Tomahawk. He is a vocal phenom & does things with his voice that are beyond comprehension. Known as the man of a thousand voices, he can go from low gentle whisper to high pitched demonic scream in a second. He is so talented that he learnt to speak fluent Italian after marrying his Italian wife that he performed a concert called Mondo Cane where he sings old Italian songs. The man is just unbelievable with what he can do, so good in fact that he can replicate the sound of a didgeridoo. I cannot recommend enough that you should check him out & believe me when I say you will not be disappointed.

[@MaddyReactions]

[@DriveSMR]

30 or so years worth of it yep he can sing

[@g0019c]

There is a song by P.O.D. and it was written because of school shootings. P.O.D. is a Christian rock band and goes around the country helping kids. Maybe listening to it first so you are not surprised like you were with the led zeppelin hole lot of love.

[@hansikursch484]

Not many reactors would catch that. Good one 👍🏽

[@steve.hoffman]

Love your reactions! Steve here from NYC and I saw Devin live a few months back. I also saw Dimash live right before the pandemic, but that’s a whole other story. For Devin, I would suggest the live version of Why? or Kingdom! Thanks and looking forward to seeing these!

[@MaddyReactions]

Oh wow!

[@frossbog]

You should check into him doing "Why?"

[@sahinorhanyalcin]

great comments. love u

There are men who will spend their entire lives trying to get a single woman to react to them like at the 9:00 mark. Devin does it every single time, in every single video 😅

[@philbeaumont9339]

It's not opera BUT he has done an incredible version of "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables, which is out there on KZbin and well worth watching for some more emotional singing. He's a beast is Dev, he does incredible work across the board, his band Strapping Young Lad defined extreme music for a whole bunch of people back in the 90s and early 2000s. The work he's done away from that has just blossomed and blossomed until he's writing both the most complex music he's ever done alongside some of the most soothing and serene. I love that he is getting the recognition he deserves as it always looks like he is working himself to death with the level of output he's got going.

[@MaddyReactions]

[@andyh3873]

Perhaps not quite an opera as you mentioned, but he is working on a "musical" right now, so watch that space! Unfortunately DTP (the band who played here) is no more, but Dev does continue with his prolific album creations and tours (recently with Dream Theater and he heads to Australia in November) He's written classic material right the way through since the 90's until now - perhaps summed up well in his 2019 release Empath - listen to this for a sample of his variety kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-apqmloKaFh5Y

If you think that opening riff was "shredding" (its not) you'll be floored when he actually starts shredding in other songs. Check out his official live video for the song "Kingdom", and not that lame EMGTV version that everyone reacts to. And then listen to the official video for the song Detox by his previous band Strapping Young Lad.
