Emg should just give devin his own emgtv channel

[@davidtapp4248]

I third this

[@shanelewis7052]

Mad that he's using Fishman pickups these days

[@dustinbaker9556]

Yes still watching his videos after all these years. Devy rocks ❤

[@kornfreak78]

Devin is easily one of the greatest musicians of ALL time. This guy is beyond talented. I will always be a fan. :)

[@jakobfel2]

+kornfreak78 I'd have to say he's the best musician that ever lived. I wouldn't give that compliment out lightly either, as a big fan of classical composers and even earlier rock/metal. Devin gets what music is meant to be unlike so many so-called artists nowadays.

[@traparinolord7070]

Devin has an extraordinary throat. His voice goes up like an angel and down like a wounded fox. Fucking love this guy! Hats off.

[@brandontadday6288]

I see what you did there... :p

[@Phybia]

Love that shit!

[@AsTheSeasonsGray]

I don't know why, but I would really, really enjoy a Devin Townsend cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack.

[@OlviMasta77]

AsTheSeasonsGray That would be totally out of this world!

[@Solaaace]

YESSSSSSSS OMG CAN WE GET MORE LIKES ON THIS PLEASE? THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

[@greggoreh2]

Devin Townsend is truly everything I love about music , he's hilarious, but also he's just a musical phenomenon his vocal range puts every other artist to shame

[@ImIoOImI]

devins music is like wine. it gets better and more emotional the longer it exists.

[@AstraVex]

The original version of this is such an epic and progressive statement of coping with loss of his friend at the time. This version is that same statement, but with the knowledge and articulation of being sensitive to the intention of the memories of his friend. In otherwords, Devin's musical sentiments age with him, like a fine wine, or even a fine black coffee

[@bobclark7715]

I normally don't get into acoustic versions of songs, but Devin Townsend takes it to a whole other level. Mesmerizing!!!! Thank you Devin!!!!!!!

[@MiNdLeSs1234567890]

4:24 his priceless look after that little mistake.

[@rayne1897]

MiNdLeSs1234567890 hahaha, he’s like “lol whoops”.. I love when great musicians fuck up every now and then though honestly, it just seems so honest and it’s a good reminder that even your idols make mistakes

[@miked4382]

whats even funnier is that it still seems to fit in with the song. LMAO. A percussive feel

[@kingsamson9146]

@@rayne1897 He is like that in his "Evening with" tours, whenever such a mistake happens he comments it sarcastically and it's beyond funny

[@Liz-cmc313]

Sometimes I forget he's human

[@jamesunderwood850]

As much as I love listening to this, it makes me sad knowing that it's about his friend who was killed over a hat!! Devin, you really are a musical genius!

[@tribalbaroque]

God damn. His little spoken opening is enough to love him right off the bat. He's clearly so sweet and humble, and then his voice and his music is so genuine and beautiful. How can you not love this man?

[@miked4382]

As much as I love KINGDOM, it's a shame how much it has overshadowed the rest of Dev's EMG videos. This video is a prime example. FUNERAL is one of my favorite songs and the way Dev stripped it down to an acoustic version takes it to a whole different level. Stay healthy, Dev. We need you more now than ever.

[@kmhMESA]

I swear Devin has the most pristine and accurate voice I've ever heard.

[@flyingchicken40]

Ugh I love Devin's falsetto

[@jimbob20051]

Just overcome with emotions. such a soulful piece of music. I feel everything. It makes me weep because it's so beautiful. Devin Townsend is hands down the greatest musician I have come across in my life.

[@mr2australia]

Hear hear!

[@sayyadinasri]

Amen.

[@mike584]

Let this video serve as a reminder that Devin can seriously do anything and it will all sound amazing.

[@wretchedslippage3255]

This man is one of the few true masters of music. He just hasnt fell short of incredible with anything hes ever done

[@magsuns7648]

what a voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brettkeepin808]

me and my son are going to see devin acoustic In Bristol next month, casnt wait.☺

[@rohomaha1614]

+Brett Keepin That you should have a son to join you in a concert, leaves me jealous (though I have no spawn of my own as of yet). Well done, sir.

[@stanleysdad]

Was that at St. George’s? My son and I are seeing him acoustic there in April

[@georgeb5237]

@@stanleysdad That would have been the Trinity Centre show in 2015. Hope you and your son had a great time at the St George show. I was there and it was great, the Steve song, the Les Mis cover, Love? Etc etc

[@SoyKerman]

I f'ing love you emg videos!

[@floodgatestudios1825]

Thanks Dev, Funeral means more to me than I can ever thank you fully for

[@Liz-cmc313]

This man is a beautiful soul, my favorite person, next to my kid.

[@Jordy666sic]

Would've love to see him perform the acoustic version of Deadhead with that raw ending that can be seen in the live videos online.. Awesome anyway.

[@TheGuitarifier]

Jordy you want Devin to scream in anguish over acoustic guitar? Nooo fuckin thanks lol. I'd much rather hear him sing it like this.

[@rohangopakumar5712]

The Deadhead acoustic performance from Leeds 2019 is incredible

[@daedalus1279]

If I could choose how I die I'm sure it would involve this playing as I slowly drift away.

[@mr2australia]

This is going to be played at my funeral. It's in my will.

[@brianrowland9993]

This very moving song brought tears to my eyes. A very sublime performance that touches the heart and reminds us of our own mortality

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

So no one else caught his bid to Black Adder at the intro? "Unaccustomed as I am..." - Prince George (Hugh Laurie)

[@jafarr616]

This song is so beautiful. I'm such metal nerd and Devin Townsend is no stranger to me. But just now discovering this version is so incredible. Music is life. ❤️

[@dopeinfertility]

sips from drink....tears drop....I love all of you.

[@rostislavprochazka9271]

This is it! This is music! This is from heart with love and feelings.. love it..

[@eduumetal]

THANK YOU EMGTV, WE LOVE DEVIN!

[@witchleaf]

What a great vocal over that lovely guitar!!

[@sayyadinasri]

I come back to this daily. So much talent in a single person

[@MortenM80]

How can anyone dislike this?!

[@julaproject4082]

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

Easy. Music is subjective. I like the artist, but not the song.

[@fupaking7717]

Devin Townsend a fucking phenomenal and amazing vocalist. even the acoustic stuff he sounds awesome!!

[@bailielarson21]

Devin Townsend, you are everything I need with music.

[@IbanezMetalhead]

Simply an amazing musician, person and general bloody legend !! Love that tone !!

[@alexkhan2000]

Love these acoustic versions of some of his songs - like 'Hyperdrive' he did on the live 'Retinal Circus' DVD/CD. Can't say this is better or worse - just a different version that provides another perspective of the song. 'Ocean Machine' is definitely one of my favorite rock albums of all time. It's up there with the very best ever.

[@thegogs9068]

Devin is one of those people who can sing and perform amazing!!!!

[@zero88777]

I would kill for a Devin Townsend Acoustic tour...

[@Reverend1138]

He did an acoustic show a few years back in a small pub called The Talking Heads in Southampton (UK) where he had people shouting out songs he should play which included all sorts of random shit. He owned the place and had anyone who wanted to meet him on stage afterwards. He's a right fucking treat.

[@zero88777]

That is SO killer. Dev is the man!

[@gredangeo]

Can there be a full concert of Devin Townsend performing at EMGTV? An Acoustic only version, would be ok too. Too see Kingdom and Juular with the rest of the band would be fanfuckingtastic. I'd buy that DVD.

[@SRKanai1]

Fucking unreal! Devin is absolutely amazing! Love this!

[@Rakonus]

I can't help but think that Devin's voice is getting better, but how can something that is wet become even wetter?

[@franlovelsimic8421]

Dev works in magical ways I suppose xD

[@MrBIOSkunk]

Lovely dynamics

[@Niemandx]

I love this man...

pure genious the man can do no wrong

[@MetalDerrik]

simply amazing!!

Damn the feels.........

[@jeleopard]

Deadhead PLEASE

[@TheGuitarifier]

jeleopard I feel like deadhead would be a boring ass song without the stong vocals. Boring chord progression, no diversity. The atmosphere is huge but idk man deadhead bores me.

[@igorbananov7617]

Deadhead is song without strong vocals?! Are you seriously?

[@TheGuitarifier]

Igor Bananov re-read my comment, dude......

[@jeleopard]

incorrect opinion. He does deadhead acoustic a lot and it rules.

[@MrGeorgFTW]

I've heard this song so many times and I only just realised why 1:50 sounds familiar. D'oh.

[@jeleopard]

Dev REALLY likes Led Zeppelin lol

[@Pre1ful]

MrGeorgFTW Devin saids once, that he likes to use the same Jimmy Page guitar's tunning

[@gabrielfrinculescu1185]

[@RyffHyena]

This barely sounds like the original. That shows how different acoustic vs electric is

The 32 people that gave this a thumbs down are deaf.

Easily my favorite singer

[@rafaelnavarrouro7209]

Ésta es la canción mas relajante que he escuchado en mi vida, bueno además de new age de phillipe de cank, es lo mejor que es escuchado, ¿no estaría nada mal si Enya trabajara en la composición musical de orquesta con devin townsend?

[@mjsimsonfan1598]

Te recomiendo que escuches el álbum Ghost si es que todavía no lo escuchaste, es muy relajante

[@rafaelnavarrouro7209]

oooo ese album es excelente

And I waaaaiiiiiit!.....

Why does he keep singing about his gardener?

Devin could do broadway, with his music. And I want that to happen

[@julaproject4082]

Вот ето ЗВУЧАНИЕ!!!

[@MrTRINKOMAN]

is that the actor who played the role of devil in the movie The Passion of the Christ

[@adamfrandsen]

Pink Floyd with a mix of Ozzy... and Devin of course

[@mr2australia]

He's better than Floyd. I can't believe that I just said that, though it is true.

[@tomlyden1808]

So is that the baritone Alvarez.... Yairi?

[@C333J]

No. That's just a stock JYM86CTS. His Custom baritone Yairi is a combination of that guitar and the one in the background, the FYM96C. The baritone is a longer scale length (27" I think) and jumbo body but has the distressed spruce top, ovankol back and sides and ebony fretboard like the FYM96C.

[@C333J]

Tom Lyden Actually not stock as we did integrate the EMG ACS!
