Devin Townsend plays "Hyperdrive" on EMGtv

[@JorgeDibildox]

His music sounds like hope. He literally made me wanna get out of my house, continue living and enjoying life. He saved me from a severe depression and for that i will forever thank him. Fantastic musician and person. Thank you Devin.

[@willroffey640]

Jorge Dibildox hope you're doing good bud

[@norwardradtke1361]

That's amazing to hear and makes me so happy. Every days a new day

[@Super_Vario64]

Same here. No matter how grim I get this song pulls me up. He pulls me up. Every Day is a new day.

[@ejRecording]

watch this for inspiration to use your body, jason becker just wrote an album and all he can do is blink, kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2nNcoSNpbRkd8U

[@vegardjohannessen3009]

I alway felt like Devins biggest strength was capturing emotions in his music. His song mental tan always gave me a sense of salvation.

[@Krimson5pride]

Imagine someone getting introduced to devin townsend through this song. "Aww, it is such a sweet song. The guy has such a calm and melancholic voice. I should give a try to all his songs on a rainy day to calm myself"

[@chetmcgovern9985]

Then when it's all nice and quiet and they have their tea or whatever they turn on Supercrush or Kingdom

[@tylerjacobson8012]

They maybe listen to ghost because people told them it’s really nice. Then they get curious and think the name strapping young lad sounds like something fun. Then... well they get their face melted off. That’s a symptom of listening to syl, literal face melting.

[@blackcitadel37]

Then search "Juular" or "Aftermath".

[@gasolinechlorine]

I like this subdued version of Hyperdrive almost as much as the original. It has a haunting, alone-in-space kinda vibe.

[@TheOneTrueD]

+gasolinechlorine Agreed - additionally, that's the same vibe I'm getting from the entire Casualties of Cool album.

[@dariobarahona6412]

he needs more respect

[@leeh1ful]

dario barahona he has it from all the right people :)

[@matejpecar6297]

amen bro

[@Mccman18]

dario barahona Start a Facebook post

[@TheOneTrueD]

HyperLive would be the most badass name for a Devin Townsend tour.

[@TheDarkVampireCloud]

Your name is literally the song title

[@TheOneTrueD]

Thanks for pointing that out for me. I was not aware of this fact.

[@IAmKingHomey]

Connor Blair it is also a term for travelling faster than lightspeed and the name of a bbc science fiction show. the more you know

[@Crowncamo]

IAmKingHomey you are correct my fellow homey

[@IAmKingHomey]

LimitsExist well thank you very much my fellow homey

[@dadu1178]

...looks so easy...simple...ITS NOT!! Devin I Love u! I could listen to you nonstop 24/7

[@anuragbhattacharya8121]

Damn it, Devin. Your vocals, man, holy fucking fuck.

[@AbhijitMajumdar]

Anurag Bhattacharya ah. fellow bengali Devin lover. nice :)

[@cooperdem992]

Metal singers got the best vocals in the music industry

[@Firefly12569]

+CooperDem No, Devin's got the best vocals in the music industry

[@cooperdem992]

Marmeladen Palatschinke He plays metal..

[@SadieGoetsch]

+CooperDem They are saying that not all the best vocalists are metal singers, also, in my opinion, many metal singers aren't very talented, obviously with the exception of Devin and some others.

[@cooperdem992]

Deanmon Winchester True enough, although some metal singers use their voice in a different style than they are used to, for example Devin and Corey Taylor got some real talent on their vocals.

[@shannonireland3558]

+Devin Townsend great performance mate.

[@bugasmike]

wow wasn't expecting another one of these, hopefully there's 10 more emg devy vids still to come

[@GamerGoneFishing]

Nice pic!

[@teviscorey]

Pandemic hey fam, im diggin your profile pic ;P

[@MrVexeon]

I think that this version is amazing

[@lahbl]

Oh. My. God........ That downpicking speed combined with the wide finger spread, and he seems so disconnected with his singing and performing. The man is amazing!

[@danielssonsgarage]

Dude have you seen/heard s.y.l. - wrong side?

[@geetarguy777]

what an artist. I hope I get to see him live someday.

[@bigjoey98]

Ramsey Hildebrand me too mate!! Hes so good!! Have you listened to Ziltoid the Omniscient yet?

[@kibijit]

I saw him live last year doing an acoustic set in a church, and it was absolutely phenomenal, I spoke to him after and he recognised my name from a birthday song my other half got me (from the Casualties of Cool kickstarter) and I just smiled like a giddy child. Top notch guy, and astounding live.

[@geetarguy777]

Joe Somerville LOVE IT. Devin's stuff is top notch like... um... Squirtle(?) said. Just saw Steve Vai last week, now it's Hevy Devy's turn!

[@w0mbatina]

Saw him live two years ago at a festival with DTP. It was amazing, probably the best show on the whole festival.

[@konradobidoski5415]

Seriously dude, do go to adjacent country to see him live. He's well worth it.

[@fupaking7717]

Devin is such a fucking amazing vocalist. so much talent

[@cjthemetalkid]

One of Devin's best songs in my opinion. Sounds so perfect to hear it acoustic.

[@jamescrowther8347]

What a fucking geezer this guy is he's just so unique and amazing. Got such a powerful voice like he sings with his whole body

[@umokay1991]

Goddamn it's impressive how dynamic his voice is. He has such a powerful voice, but he can also do stuff that's quiet and soft really well. That's not as easy as you'd think, a lot of vocalists who sing loudly and with gravel/fry the way Devvy does aren't able to access those softer tones because their louder, fuller singing voice harmed their vocal chords so they're missing a little range of the softer tones, making them near impossible to sing unless you have incredible control over it.

[@lilianacosta1282]

He's so awesome! I'm even at loss of words

[@xencage]

He's a God.

[@tompilou-hm6iq]

More than that

[@KowakianMonkey-Lizard]

he is the Universe

[@tompilou-hm6iq]

+piet the OMNIVERSE

[@FaithsFallen]

He is more than godly!

[@Executioner458]

I love Devin's work. Fantastic singer and songwriter. unfortunately completely underrated.

[@Pfel93]

Devin needs to put out a collection of old songs done acoustically, I love these ;o

[@andyscarlett1789]

Phil Harvey He did put out an unplugged album a while ago, it is on KZbin.

[@Pfel93]

Andy Scarlett I know, but we need more ;D

[@rhythmbeard7558]

Much more

[@ericspring2033]

beautiful voice

[@kaladabong]

I'd love to have a proper studio recording of this song like this. I love the ones on Ziltoid and Addicted, but it's nice to hear to turned into a calmer version.

[@zombiespacebat]

Check the version from the Retinal Circus

[@kaladabong]

zombiespacebat It's good too. But there are always people heard in the background yelling or clapping which I find more irritating then the lack of pop filter on this song.

[@myollinir]

the ziltoid one was pretty calm...... lol

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

Well here it is for your enjoyment. Just rip the audio and put it on your music device.

[@kaladabong]

***** Finally lol. But I think this is as close as we'll get. Still amazing stuff!

[@PietroBlanca]

What a beautiful song, in every way he plays it..

[@gilliancura8207]

Saw him live for the first time yesterday...wow.

[@MrMetalDanny]

Devin is an amazing guitar player and singer this is one of my favorite songs by him

[@bailielarson21]

Love love love this.

[@arivana10]

His voice is just incredible. So hypnotic and mesmerizing.

[@phrygianchaos3359]

So awesome. Refreshing to hear it played like this. Gives the song a different vibe. And that delay is delicious.

[@espenstoro]

Dammit man.. goosebumps and a little tear.

[@phantumgrey]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who angles the pick like that.

[@Gazmondo616]

Seriously who would actually give that a thumbs down?? Clearly have bricks for ears! Devins fuckin awesome his acoustic stuff is eerily masterful and epic as fuck

[@lichdomftw]

Yes, more Devin!

[@Ben-Jamminalot]

Incredible artist, Fractal Audio System ,,sounds earth shattering! want it

[@Hallowedpoint85]

this is the only song of all the songs i've ever heard that i like every single version of this acoustic version, Ziltoids Version, Addiction's Version and the video where some guy combined Ziltoids and Addictions's together into one song. Devin is the twizted metal genius and we love him for it! haha

[@Fudgeforum]

and the Retinal Circus version is something else again...

[@Hallowedpoint85]

Steve T i havent heard that version ill look that up thanks

[@HugoTankianZemok]

So cold, in the night, Where the river flows, Where the river flows, So cold, in the night, Where the river flows, Where the river flows, Sail away, Hey, I'm sorry, Every day is a new day. Hooray for love, Hey, I'm lonely, Trying to find a new way. So cold, in the night, Where the river's slow, When the river's slow, So cold, in the night, Where the rivers slow, When the rivers slows, So cold… Connect! So cold, in the night, Hold on… Hold on… So cold, in the night, Hold on… Hold on…

[@ketanj23]

[@MakeUpYourMindPROJECT]

[@Tuskanr]

One of my favorite songs, and I love singing it on Rockband

[@julaproject4082]

O, Goods... I love you....

[@TexasGuitarist]

Wow... Wow... So surprised and impressed. What a musician.

[@alexchumak6090]

Для меня он стал настоящим открытием. Он просто великолепен.

[@miotheboss]

Thank you Devin and EMG tv : )

[@L1NCHP1N]

If you guys only put Devin videos on here from now on I'd be totally okay with that. Just sayin.

[@LNClubsTheaters]

That guitar sounds amazing! Rock on Devin!

[@ididntdoit8721]

He's has a amazing voice love his music

[@ikjleio]

WE NEED MORE DEVY!

[@shiroookami2321]

Jorge Dibildox I agree with you man, his music pulled me put of the darkest years of my life. He's an astounding human being and a godly musician.

[@JareTerran]

Never noticed that this was an Alvarez guitar. They sound great, and so does Devin!

[@diegoscursatone868]

This is a great version!!!

[@oliviafaith692]

love that 4th dimension sound, brought to you by Devine 💜

[@pissedman1491]

Doesnt get more epic than this

[@CaseyWalle]

Man... this guy is so good...

[@joaotarrafa4523]

this man is something else

[@DatFaceDoe]

Uplifted me again! I'm spreading the word Devi! Miss your band though

[@nerdynerd7]

Devin needs to record an acoustic album

[@CrossFitVineland]

What. This is amazing.

[@tutatis96]

seems that devin is everyday at emgtv

[@MrMetalDanny]

Devin playing is absolutely surreal how can this have even four dislikes

[@lgoblin]

amazing !!!!

[@VeritasOdium90]

This is a really good version!! Very well done!!

[@Overton_Windows]

“Which Canadian for TV” 😂 During Kingdom we had “the most epic solo in EMG tv history!” as he proceeded to play four notes with a wawa pedal. And I can’t remember the other one’s title, but the line “my balls just dropped on live television!” also made me let out a good laugh. This guy has a great sense of humor.

[@eggsaladsamich7396]

I love the way he sings

[@rachelblanchard520]

Dam i love this guy

[@dereksmallsuk]

This guy is top quality

[@jongibirdi6690]

Amazing

[@KLAKLAWES]

in the beginning i thought you were out of mind... but in reality U ARE A GENIOUS

[@TheCrispyPixel]

KLAKLAWES Can't he be both?

[@Infamouse33333]

I love the original to death, but this... this is beautiful.

[@lucianociancidrums]

wow I love

[@mistylibre]

como no amarlo es hermoso y su voz!!!!

[@leifeng9123]

Finally! I was getting sick of the fan-taken vids from the clinics.

[@mulanszechuansauceisthemeaning]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE ONE OMG

[@mikey3335]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@andrewdenton5279]

devin friggin rules

[@diegomiranda7996]

Espectacular. Su voz simplemente me causa la más profunda ENVIDIA

[@KamalGupta]

Wooo!

[@keidall]

That guitar Sounds fukn amazing..

[@TeariiDeflesselle]

i love you devin

[@maxmaxx284]

I honestly have a hard time listening to the original version now. This is brilliant.

[@valeriob7799]

other songs with the same genre please? it's beautiful

[@e-naa4118]

+aj style He did an unplugged album. Look it up :)

[@ostravia]

Yes very good. I approve.

[@cody8391]

God damn that stretch with his fretting hand at 1:43 ......

[@erumangaka75]

my fav'rite version of Hyperdrive

[@NytronX]

Devin is phenomenal. He can pull off maynard style vocals all the way up to the most ridiculous high register metal vocals.

[@flopfloppizzpizz9482]

I have it on good authority that It's cold at night where the river flows.

[@ShyMusic147]

Imagine you're sitting in front of your computer in your underwear smoking a pack of cigarettes you don't even like while sobbing to this song.

[@jackcoleman1784]

Anyone that wants to see how good a singer they are try singing this. Sing it as it is presented here with emphasis on subtlety and see if it sounds good. There are a ton of singers that overly rely on volume, projection, vibrato, and/or dramatic shifts to hide that they don't know how to make a note stand on it's own. You'll know if you are one of those real quick when you try to sing this.

[@wyldweasil]

bummer he never plays this on tour electric with the whole band. It's my favorite song of his.

[@wyldeman7]

it's on youtube live at least. it's epic as fuck.

[@Poptartsthatareplain101]

lol that boy said "and YOU'RE not" xD

[@bendeco]

What my mom tells me to do with the refrigerator door when she sees me constantly leaving it open 01:59

[@aleksandrkuznetsov1516]

fckng awesome

[@volvoxrock]

wowwwwww

[@JS-tm1gq]

That last chord is "sister" on ocean machine

[@stansilvestrov3106]

the 49 people who disliked this... i find their lack of faith disturbing.

[@Matzonzone]

Dear EMG, or Devin recorded for you "Numbered" :)?

[@carlaunderwood3379]

I actually prefer this acoustic version better than the original

[@bobssthoughts4049]

yes hes fucking incredible especial;y his song the greys

[@ThePurplemaneater]

Please tell me there's an accurate tab for this song somewhere... After searching google for a bit, I can't seem to find one and I am disappoint.

[@MilkyWayToHeaven]

I know it's an Alvarez Yairi guitar, but does anyone know the exact model by chance? :\ I've searched everywhere but can't find it..
