Strapping Young Lad - Aftermath (live)

[@malteadotas4]

I've never seen anyone besides Dev who can actually scream at different notes/tones.

[@ehoc42]

"Ahoy Mateys! We be pirates, Swab our fucking poopdeck!!!" *wearing cowboy hat playing metal*

[@dirtpile]

God damn is this song awesome! Devin in the huge foam cowboy hat has to be the greatest thing ever!

[@Lopez1988chile]

How Hoglan managed to stay that big after a live performance escapes me.

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

I've heard he eats whole pies in one sitting. I'm hoping that's 'pizza pie', but hey, could be Boston Cream :D

[@cosmicyiana]

+Rocket Pig Records don't talk shit about Gene the machine man, great drummer as big as he is, he is like a ballerina on the drums. Cheers

[@JayTor2112]

He's slimmed down a lot these days, at least 100 pounds smaller now.

[@quaveglass]

eatin good feelin good

[@demford8786]

Lotta' wrist and ankle action. Not burning a lot of calories doing that.

[@mistamontiel]

0:30 AH MAN ! I absolutely love Gene Hoglan's drumming. And the SYL vids. He looks like a huge motionless sloth sitting there, but he fucking rips. Love that dude's reaction, his double bass kix in, man this quality is AMAZING !

[@AlexandreBatalha_Sharkuel]

Because he is the ultimate metal drummer,thats why. He is far beyond heavy. \m/

[@pattonPwr]

DRUMMER IS AMAZING... no effort at all, plays like he was having tea xD

[@TheStarbuck666]

The atomic clock 2:39

[@TheKrabimuay]

Gene Hoglan.....the atomic clock

[@pathological_liar]

Probably had a cup of tea and a Granola bar next to him haha

[@LeVilainCam]

I guess social studies was ... after math yahahah

[@thrasher90]

Devin Townsend is an amazing frontman. Great talking

[@supertimideboy]

Oh MY GOOOD!!! This has to be the best live performance I've ever seen. those kids were so lucky! I'd kill to see this once in my life. it's sooooo good

[@onekilltwisk]

Great hat, great riff, great hair, great voice, great drummer, great belly, great fucking song!!!!!!

[@M0FuK1Dy]

@batdog3 hahaha, I'm actually right beside that guy :P Surprised he didn't hit me. Gene is a beast, I've met him in person, me being 6'6 he's almost the same height but HUGE. Really nice guy, pretty laid back. Hats off to a guy who learned to play drums himself using pots, pans and ankle weights

[@RebornGuitarLearner]

Amazing vocal chops! And the songs are great! Man. This guy to me represents a completely new breed of musician. He's like a metal singer/ songwriter! That's so cool because most metal dudes are more into the guitar. It's sweet to see that balance in this guy.

[@EricJh21690]

God I wish SYL were still together.. not a single song by them I don't like. This song and Detox being a couple of many favorites I have. I do like Devin's solo work too but it's just not as badass and intense as SYL.

[@cosmicyiana]

me too. Detox is just about the best song ever. and this and force fed!

[@finowa]

GENE! DEV! JED! BYRON! woo

[@JeremyPringsheim]

god that voice is amazing. you know a voice is killer if you can stuff a shit ton of delay and reverb on it and it still sounds awesome as it rings out.

[@Tio-Nino]

One the day the Skullet will come back in style.

[@quj0r]

AHOY MATEYS!

[@novoaraul486]

one of the best songs of S.Y.L. greats strings,great voice! yeahhh!

[@iDura89]

the vocal are just, incredibly awesome!

[@BucketheadCoop]

Epic vocals in this one

[@miracleofsound]

@phishtrey SYL live DVD dude, should be available on Dev's website

[@Wizarrdd]

When I hear this song a video plays in my head about a bunch of post-apocalyptic soldiers driving a gigantic fucking tank through an utterly destroyed wasteland and just firing a massive explosive round at anything that moves.

[@MetalChick84]

Lmao! He cracks me up! Gotta love the almighty Devy!!! :D

[@beejaybattery]

Gene Hoglan is a BEAST. Look at him just chillin'.

[@homelessathome]

Devin has the best voice in metal\m/

[@Geddylee2000]

Brilliant, and good old pure Metal

[@wiggitywaKa]

one of the best songs i've ever heard. the live version is better than the original. fucking great. PICKLES THE DRUMMER DOODILY DOO DOODILY DING DONG DOODILY DOO!!!

[@devthous]

devin is the man !!!!!! you rule!!!!!

[@April1442]

Where and when was this? I need put in the specific time and place on my time-travel device and travel back in time to watch it live to express how awesome this is.

[@poisonous-shadows]

Oh canada!!! Hell ya man we had a kick ass metal band that could compete with any band in the world

[@hannunieminen4027]

Annihilator?

[@miracleofsound]

@Madkiped I'm very sorry to hear that......

[@scarfacefan19]

100% agree man.....i miss them so much

[@hellionsentinel]

a total headbanger

[@0ElectricWizard]

Who the fuck is this Rob Halford guy?

[@95concours]

this has got to be the best live song I have ever heard! So fucking metal!!!!!

[@stoneddemonicpirate]

holy fucking SHIT!@ this song always gets me so pumped! how is everyone not moshing the fuck out to this

[@dcyphrz8532]

Never gets old. :)

[@Legume666]

FUCKING YEAH

[@LilSeizures]

Every time I watch this that fucking cowboy hat gets me, Devy is my hero.

[@JackCarver10]

This kicks so much ass

[@ruleinblood]

How is this !!! Bang ya head till it drops off ! The hat is priceless ! The way this dude screams Is odd worldly

[@MadsPerschke]

Obviously, you didn't notice that Gene almost doesn't move. Wrist/ankle control, man! ;)

[@MasterChince]

Fuck these guys are so fucking cool its almost impossible to put into terms

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. Hail SYL.

[@railander]

@akaHermanSnerd and you gott jabba the hutt on drums too

[@ecaepevolhturt]

@monster1185 because when you have so much talent, taste, originality, creativity and self confidence you can do anything.

[@MetalJassim]

Among my all-time three favorites of SYL. And I really wonder how Gene punches is drumset as hell while looking bored...

[@Longdrinkification]

Strapping Young Lad, where have you been all my life!

[@phishtrey]

Where is this video from. And more importantly, where can I get it? Great stuff.

[@dafaucas]

best song ever, and best hat ever

[@miracleofsound]

@Madkiped Lol!

[@ZeeKat]

They were pretty uplifting for an angry band,weren't they.

[@rhuebner82]

Milwaukee "the Good Land" circa 2004?

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

BEcause he is so fucking versatile o_O! he's a damn god!

[@iceowl]

@MetalJassim He seems like the kind of guy who deadpans his way through life. I bet hanging out with him is hilarious times.

[@Zeta9966]

@sybow Whats better, the joke or that he came up with it instantly based on the hat? Awesome!

[@waspmanimal]

Quality...fuckin' awesome...

[@Giganotabehemoth87]

Thing is with gene is that he may be big but he has execptional technique so he doesn't get tired or fatigued as easily.

[@noxifer]

the best musician on hearth!!!! \m/

[@Plastblomma]

A very good song. Metal!!!

[@MasterChince]

Ahoiy maties !!....we be pirates....swab our fucking poop deck !!

[@dinkthestink123]

bring this back.....

[@XmegallicaX]

Dude, I was only kidding, Halford is the Metal God. I know sarcasm doesn't really work on the Internet, I tend to forget that when I write comments...

[@SYLperc]

i learned this song on drums. hard.

[@Tuskanr]

BEST. LIVE. VIDEO. EVER

[@axhed]

omg thanks for explaining... it went right over my head HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[@edgecrushers]

Gene is one of the most picky drummers ever and is so incredibly consistent. There's a reason he's known as the Atomic Clock.... but i do agree, he is underrated. and as far as his weight goes, i remember reading an interview of his once where he said back when he was drumming in Death he was down to like 250, and that his doctor says he's actually in excellent shape (heart and such) for his size... and his knees are fucked and that drumming actually makes them feel better...

[@Spaxx1001]

4:36 to 6:02 is probably one of the greatest metal riffs ever.

[@bst1984]

The year is 2024 and this remains accurate

[@BettySwallaux]

Fucking legendary!!

[@Sejshel]

@Wizarrdd Awsome trip!

[@TobyKBTY]

SYL just makes you want to headband forever...

[@berentaniev]

killerrrr song

[@Milesaru]

@hvydie ......There's so much wrong with what you said I don't even know where to start O_o

[@kingink1971]

its funny... Devin kinda looks like Riff Raff from the Rocky Horror Picture Show! lol

[@squidbilly32]

is it just me but or does anyone else find them selves noding there head everytime they hear the main riff? i think this is the only song that has ever really done it to me with out noticeing

[@scarfacefan19]

i like how all the comments or at least majority have good things to say about syl and devins genious...FUCK YEA!!!!! SYL KICK MAJOR FUCKING ASS!!

[@dmk_weaver]

the drummer is chillin

[@TR3NDK1LL]

Where can I get one of those cowboy hats?!

[@Guitarist166]

The chords held by the keyboards at the beginning remind me of the Diablo II soundtrack for some reason. This is what we need, Diablo II metal. I'm inspired already.

[@ChristopherDonaldCross]

Gene kinda reminds me of Chumlee from pawn stars, lol. SYL \m/

[@filitalian]

fuckng killer - ahoy! 4:24 < I've seen that as a still photo on other SYL fan tubes.

[@deftonesrule311]

i agree with you on that dude

[@kavemankyle1]

gene is not fat thats the muscle that powers his dubble bass

[@nateabrown]

this song owns a lot.

[@2112martini]

The best!

[@vystral]

devin is from canada and that show was recorded in vancouver

[@kouler]

Yeah man. I always listen to SYL or DTB when i'm stoned.

[@ivanthehunter3530]

I think imma start doing that

[@ivanthehunter3530]

Like, you can imagine the amount laughter that'll come pouring out my mouth the wery second that cowboy hat comes on.

[@timmmmkay]

Fuck yes. Pestlience!

[@supertimideboy]

@Frankenstec That's because even 'Aftermath' is too easy for him :)

[@jayou812a]

[@phishtrey]

[@ryanross3824]
