Vocal Coach REACTS to DEVIN TOWNSEND- KINGDOM

I started off organically pleased at the vocal beast Sir Devin. Then the emotion from deep down in my soul shot inside me and I was a mess. This is what happens when technical meets emotion.

Love you all. Thanks for all the love : )
A little bit about me..
Rebecca is a passionate Singer-Songwriter/Vocal coach/mentor /impressionist/photographer/creative junkie /self- development lover not a hater.
“I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well, maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2016. However, despite not being able to walk for a few weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and try to practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…we are all specks of dust…Also, thank you for all your support. It means a lot. I have suffered from anxiety from the past and self-confidence, (yeah hard to see now right) didn’t think I was ‘good, or worthy enough’ but I feel I have a new lease of life, don’t really care as much and want to show you guys what I have! : ) You are all awesome and without you, there would be no channel.

Devin turned down many record labels because they pressured him / his band to conform to mainstream. In the end, he's a rockstar by his own sweat, blood and tears, making deals on his own, touring, recording, organizing, and giving guitar lessons.

Devin was discovered by Steve Vai and he was the lead singer on the 1993 album Sex & Religion. Devin has reincarnated himself many times since then with Strapping Young Lad, the Devin Townsend Band and the Devin Townsend Project. He has also done a lot of producing as well as appearances as both vocalist and guitarist on many other artists' albums. In the end he is revered as a musical genius and has done albums from Ambient to Metal. As I am sure that you have found out, his fans are extremely loyal!!

[@Dave004]

Such a great Canadian talent Devin Townsend is!

[@senatorcthulu1815]

Yeah, those are the emotions i expect from a first reaction to Kingdom. What a belter of a song.

[@Fraxxxi]

As you noted, Devin is a singer of rare talent, and also a great guitar player, and a born showman. And a lot of his songs are heavily laden with tons of emotion. The EMGtv version of Kingdom is, in my opinion, the single best introduction to his work. But if you delighted in what you saw here as much as you seemed to, just for your own enjoyment, not even so much for the channel necessarily, I cannot sufficiently recommend his video called '"Grace" (The Retinal Circus) Official Promo Video ', on his own official Devin Townsend youtube channel. He shares the stage with his long-time collaborator Anneke van Giersbergen (whom he got to know because she recorded a cover version of one of his songs that impressed him enough to contact her), and the video is worth checking out just on her merits - but on top there's still Devin and a whole little choir because the song is as close to a heavy metal church hymn as one is likely ever to find.

[@njh0183]

I'd recommend Deadhead from the same show as well. I love it because it's being performed at the end of a gigantic set, and you can see how much love he's putting into every note. Simply awesome.

[@Fraxxxi]

@@njh0183 You're thinking of his Live at the Royal Albert Hall performance. The Retinal Circus was a very different beast. Obviously though both are great. Deadhead just has like... four and a half minutes of pure instrumental in the middle of it, which from a vocal-centric point of view is dead air. For specifically vocals from the Live at the Royal Albert Hall performance my suggestion would be The Death of Music - from low whispering to that absolutely insane crescendo. And his visible goosebumps when he approaches the ending.

Devin really understands the audio space and is a master of the "wall of sound". He's also been around forever and is such a character. He really doesn't take himself at all seriously (as you can see), as is also very genuine. He's been doing several Concerts from home over the last few weeks.

Devin has so many layers of sound in his songs its fantastic.

he he he he he he he he he is the most amazing musician. didnt expect that direct sentence from a quite experienced musical teacher as you are. Happy that you enjoy it

I find it so strange that so many women react this way to Devin Townsend (and metal in general). Metal music used to be so "uncool" years ago, but now people really get the opportunity to dive in and appreciate it, for both its technicality and emotion. Devin can be emotionally genuine without being sappy (like most of today's pop music). Unless he wants to be totally sappy. I wonder if Devin knows he's a sex symbol?

[@BuzzaB77]

That's 'cause metal became a about virtuosity instead of honest expression, then later it was 'bought' by major record labels, industrialised, labelled "nu metal", and churned out like boy band pop with rap and shouting added. Only independents like Dev that never touched a major truly survived. Also Dev is probably one of the only metal artists to call BS on singing about 'non masculine' subjects like love.

Discovering RVA and Devin Townsend's music in one week has been a treasure. If good things come in threes, perhaps I'll win the lottery now...

[@stoneage1]

Still the best reaction video to this song! :), thankyou muchly darling.

[@manoj_dewri]

No surprise that it brings tears to your eyes 🙂 He always do this to me. Hevy Devy is a brilliant musician and multi-instrumentalist musical mastermind. He is the next Mozart. Hope to see "Deadhead" live at Royal Albert hall next. This will sure make you cry 🙂

[@selenemoon2249]

You really need to do Deadhead from Devins live at Royal Albert Hall next!! And if you're really into Devys soft clean vocals, watch his acoustic performance of Hyperdrive from EmgTV, it's just...amazing!

[@muriloninja]

Exactly this!

[@DoomsdayIsComing73]

This man is a generational, once in a lifetime type talent, so glad you discovered this amazing musician..

[@2secondslater]

I have watched this reaction at least 50 times now, the look of awe an your face never gets old, RVA 😂

[@Ghurdill]

The crazy stuff about Devy is that outside of stage he is a common dude, with his issues and doubts, but on stage he turns on that beast of confidence and charisma that he completely lacks when he puts his ugly cap on.

[@abigatorfrenzy9806]

MY MOUTH LITERALLY DROPPED OPEN AT THE FIRST NOTE!!! When he first started singing his his sound is so round and open and that tone holy poop

[@bones101proof]

Damm right he is beast, blasting out the melody & singing in synchronization, takes the left & right brains, which I definitely don’t have, and at the same time being camera-genic! That’s true showmanship, and that’s one of a kind!

[@kerryymm]

That key change at 3:12 gets me the same way as Rebecca every time I hear it, too 💜

[@aaronmoody5333]

Oh yeah, he is Canadian, speaking of Canadian comedians lol, I have a feeling that if you watched "The Death of Music" live @ the Royal Albert Hall that the tears would flow like a faucet, he puts the guitar down for that song and actually focuses on the vocals, very powerful performance

[@aaronmoody5333]

Oh, some of his albums are actually comedy and some easy listening, some over complicated prog and his old band Strapping Young Lad is just raw Heavy Metal, he writes music that he feels at the time and has a the talent to really display and pass on his emotions in ways that very few can as well as being an excellent person, there's definitely never going to be another artist like Devin

[@monkeytube138]

Hevy Devy make me cry like a baby. That's his superpower, over and above his musical talent.

[@selfdiscardedkingofruin7291]

STRAPPING YOUNG LAD🤘🤘🤘

[@jgriffith75]

Love the reaction as much as I love listening to Devin. That was a pure raw joy display. So awesome

[@MosheAlvarez]

Best reaction video EVER!!! Next video should be Devin Townsend- Deadhead Live at Royal Albert Hall

[@bararobberbaron859]

YES YES YES! Your psychic streak continues Rebecca! It's fantastic

[@tanjamarie6807]

I love the humorous take he has on himself, and hes really down to earth and humble. He never had singing lessons isnt that amazing?

[@L8dyAriel]

Sir Townsend is a total beast isnt he. I am glad you recognized him by his mighty talent. I remember in his crazy days. So this side is happy peaceful Hevy Devy. Hope to see you all at the shows this tour..NYC here.. !!
