Vocal Coach reacts to Devin Townsend performs 'Kingdom' for EMGtv

[@CronchySpaghet]

Definitely have to give a recommendation for Royal Albert Hall performance of Deadhead!

[@odedeliyahu1756]

THIS !!!!!

[@mikefearon3577]

Seconded!

[@Daniel.Bachmann]

Propably one of the best live Performances off all times

[@MrGul]

YES! Definitely!

[@IrateWizrd]

Plovdiv, man.

[@Denvercoder]

“I like that he plays” He plays drums, guitar, bass, harpsichord, piano, kazoo, triangle, cowbell, and tuba!” 😂

[@TayR0C]

lol'd at Triangle.

[@Adisonadibeba]

@@TayR0C and not at kazoo

[@randomistmech]

I was about to type pretty much this, but also composes and produces this whole wall of sound XD Devin's recording challenge would be an interesting reaction video, although its 2-3 hours long. As would the quarantine concerts.

[@narcissus79]

It's gotta have more cowbell..

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

The tuba, really? That's the most impressive, considering he's a rock/metal musician.

[@generatorofheavy7761]

Devin Townsend’s voice is a vocal coach’s dream!🤘🏻😝🤘🏻

React to Devin Townsend - Deadhead live royal albert hall

[@P0LYBiUS7]

Saw the show at Royal Albert Hall. Had to travel to england to catch it but damn... That show was something else. Deadhead had me tearing up pretty good. Find the video and pause it at 5:10. Look to the right in the crowd. I'm the idiot holding the big inflatable hammer.

[@cemerson]

@@P0LYBiUS7 I'm in there too - front row :D Incredible concert. Left me pretty broken by the end of it, ha!

[@dylanmarsh3511]

This needs to happen, absolutely blew my mind when I first saw it

[@123cillitbang]

That was absolutely eargasmic! I've got Tickets for his 2019 Empath tour!!! 😍💯👍🙆🤘 I'm Thrilled!

[@SecondSince]

@@P0LYBiUS7 Spotted you! Also thanks for recommending that video. Amazing! Jealous i wasn't there with you guys and gals! :D

[@martinmurphy9881]

Absolutely love watching people naturally smile whilst watching musicians

[@xxduluxx]

Deadhead at Royal Albert Hall....gives me goosebumps just by remembering that performance!!!

[@muriloninja]

He's topped it..Deadhead Live Plovdiv! Devy has done it again!

[@petersoar2886]

Woah. This is my first Devin experience and I'm blown away.

[@richtigersoan]

Same with me man

[@philgallagher1]

Welcome aboard guys! You've got some fun times ahead!

[@idlemessiah]

Fun times ahead indeed, with a new album on the horizon and a 20+ year discography to delve into... Personally I'd start with Addicted! or Ocean Machine and go from there. Happy listening :)

[@funkdrunk87]

If you're into metal check out strapping young lad, it's some of devin's best stuff! Not that the devin townsend project isnt awesome as hell. Casualties of cool was pretty good too.

[@SQUACKaDOODLE]

This was my introduction, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD ''LOVE''.......kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpaqXmmYpcqIoaM

[@darkaquatus]

Alright, so the amazing thing about Devin is that he prefers to sing and play these 'fun' songs where he can just joke around and entertain the audience, which he LOVES to do on every single show he does (I've seen him do it, myself). But then there's the deeper and more serious side of him where he sings about death, suicide and depression. When he performs these songs you will not see him laugh, smile or joke around. You'll instead see him both mentally and physically hurting from it. When he played Funeral, Bastard and Death of Music in the Royal Albert Hall you can see goosebumps on his arms all the way through. I find it amazing how some musicians can still be so emotionally involved in their music after all those years.

[@rud3m3chanical]

Oh man, so much YES to that. Saw him perform that trio of songs last tour and it near killed me.

[@philgallagher1]

Completely agree, although sadly I never had the stars line up just right for me to see DTP live so I just have yt vids etc. Doesn't look like I'll ever get the chance now, given DTP is on hiatus! Does anyone think they might get back together or have they gone the same way SYL went? (Please say yes, somebody!!) Obviously, I would love to see what he's doing now with the new LP, but my Devin Dream Team has to be DTP!

[@Liz-cmc313]

Devy is not of this world. Pure Genius at work. Love your reaction and take on this Amazing man

[@psm914]

1:27 you sound like the cutest dinosaur i've ever heard ❤

😂😂😂😂

[@seanmace8331]

Ha, I actually recommended this on another video without knowing you actually did this one. Really glad you did. Devin is one of the greatest and most versatile vocalists around. There's some songs where he gets operatic high and his harsh vocals just have so much character to them. I've always admired how he's created his own unique sound and how effortless he makes it sound to switch back and forth. And of course as your noticed he's also an amazingly eccentric performer. Dude visibly loves what he does. I also recommend the RAH Deadhead performance

[@t1gg]

I love this, I just love Devin ... what I love most is that every vocal coach I’ve seen react to him points out how much in control he is and how it’s not forced ... he’s just a superstar ❤️

[@Matkinson91]

Been a fan of Devin since the Strapping days, I can't believe more vocal teachers haven't heard of him before because he is an absolute natural and I'm sure EVERYONE who does this kinda stuff would love to have it come to them as natural as Devin does. Guys a GENIUS

[@chancegreer5421]

Another awesome video! If you ever want to explore more Devin you should check out some of his Royal Albert Hall performances, like Deadhead! 😎

[@VividAbominations]

Yes! Kingdom is his uptempo wall of sound kind of tune, and Deadhead is the slow burner into his infinite sadness.

[@czdot]

Nope, live in Plovdiv, song called Failure. 🙂

[@EnrageD420]

I need to see her react to deadhead during that set, so damn powerful, amazing perfomance.

[@allenhuling598]

Glad you found Devin, he's certainly a man that knows and enjoys his craft....love to hear what he produces!!

[@Rippedheart777]

So glad you got to experience Dev!! Thanks for your work, love your channel!

[@alickswiden71]

but seriously, the guy is outstanding, huge career. and get this, no vocal or musical training or education whatsoever. he just.... does that... and people are right about the Deadhead live suggestion. Subbed!

[@MrVonkliest]

He just.....does that.....dude that’s fuckin meta.

[@robinsonphil]

"Oh, he's a performer. I love it." Understatement of the century. Devin is the consummate performer in all he does, even interviews. Great videos! I just stumbled across your channel. I love your reactions and your open-mindedness to styles of music that may not be what you normally listen to. I've watched your reactions to Tool, Mike Patton, Dream Theater, Dio, and now Devin, and I have to say, you're more open to metal and heavy rock than most folks I run into.

[@sophitsa79]

Haha, I followed exactly the same bands/singers, except Dio...I suppose that's where to next...

[@LeadGRuaidri]

Exactly, remember that Steve Vai interview where Devy wasn't meant to be interviewed. And he still entertained.

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

Devin is funny as hell and highly entertaining!

[@pagb666]

...and he's NEVER off key

[@PedroLobo76]

He IS the key xD

SO many other songs I would have chosen.

[@CoolMetal]

Devin Townsend is by far my FAVORITE metal singer. His voice as amazing!!! \m/

[@jobrimar8291]

Nice one, always great to see people being exposed to old Devi. The look on your face when he first opens up. Really interesting to hear you break down what he’s doing, one of the keys to being a great teacher is making your field of expertise as relatable to as many people as possible, and done with such warmth and enthusiasm too. Great stuff.

[@R0B3RTP4UL50N]

There is no one else like him. Never has been. Never will be.

[@Greg-nd8ol]

I love how passionate you get about these performances. you are so genuine with your reactions, and I love these react videos you put together. keep up the great work!!

Thank you! I just love vocals and music! x

[@barrettKiwi]

Saw him live a week ago and he was absolutely incredible. Almost couldn’t believe his voice live. He’s also hilarious between songs.

[@j6936-d6v]

Devin’s live performance of “Grace” is amazing. It also features one of his frequent collaborators, Anneke van Giersbergen of the band Vuur.

[@emmapalmer7946]

My husband and I finished our wedding with that song. Love it!

[@richtigersoan]

Their voices match perfectly

[@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo]

Yes!!!! Devin is not just a guitarist.... hes one of the most creative!

[@MikeOrkid]

I've always considered his screams to be an afterburner. You can tell he just pushes harder and tightens up and gets that "extra fuel" burning. One of the best and most underrated vocalists of our time.

[@deathmetaldownhiller7874]

Literally every time I listen to him, I get goose bumps. What an incredible musician

[@leerobbo92]

Devy's an absolute treasure that more people should know about. Makes it look so easy!

[@BegToDiffah]

Love that you did this one from Devin! It was the first one of his I'd ever heard too, and was just blown away by his control and what a "master of his craft" he is.

[@metalhead1500]

Supercrush live at Tuska Open Air is another awesome one to check out.

[@AndrewJShirley]

I'd recommend two tracks by Devin. Ih-Ah and it's polar opposite, Detox by his old band Strapping Yound Lad. Both done at the Royal Albery Hall. He's a master of any genre he wants to play and has produced some quality and stunning albums.

[@yippeethreeeight]

This is one of my favorite reactions from this channel because it seems very genuine.

[@ramoncardinali]

Devin Townsend - Death of Music LIVE at Royal Albert Hall!

[@lexievv]

This, why is no one doing this one haha. It's freakin amazing

[@silirat]

@@lexievv Everyone does it eventually. More people recommend this video first tho, because Devy is such a charming sweetheart in it.

[@lexievv]

@@silirat Yeah i know that haha but it's always Deadhead or others after that. I like that one as well, but i feel specially for vocal coaches The death of Music is a good one since it relies so heavily on his voice.

[@silirat]

@@lexievv Absolutely right about his voice in that, but the song is a really slow burn with the really amazing stuff near the end, which doesn't work well for reactors. They need the uber spread out evenly across the whole song so that there is always something to react to.

[@lexievv]

@@silirat yeah, that's a fair point haha. Still though, such a waste ;p.

[@BadManRiRi]

Devin Townsend is a musical genius that more people need to know about.

[@emmanuelborlet330]

I fully agree with you. He is THE genius, i never love an artist like that before. Discovering Devin 'fucking genius' Townsend is the best (musically speaking) thing that happened to me.

[@BVenge-pe4wi]

One of the most beautiful songs Ive ever heard.

[@detertronixgunfuphoniex4338]

The sheer joy of watching experience Devy for the first time made me subscribe!

Great reaction, Devin is one of the best artists out there.

[@flosscal1]

you are very mindful of every detail and truly have a musical ear

[@nicknelson634]

Man, if only strapping young lad got more love in the reaction videos. Vocal coaches would hear just how high this guy can go. Songs like Home Nuclions, and Shitstorm are insane vocally

[@fadetoblack51]

I’m a big fan of zen and love

[@williamduckett3407]

Devin is amazing. Really glad to see you enjoy it. If you ever want to check out more Devy in the future, I recommend "The Death of Music" live at the Royal Albert Hall. It's a long one, but it's so powerful.

[@rud3m3chanical]

Gads, I was SO happy that he did that live on the last tour.

[@IrateWizrd]

The death of music is just shivers all the way through, fantastic song.

[@StephenCaudillPhoto]

I love watching somebody else have the same mind blown reaction to the Devs amazing voice 🤘 Great vid!

[@Nick-pk9xg]

Also - I love that you're doing these videos. Of all the vocal teachers doing these videos, you're a breakthrough favourite of mine now. Plus it's fun watching someone else love the videos I was amazed by when I was a teen. You're spectacular at these videos, you're damn cute if that's not too much to say, and you look like you're having a ton of fun putting these together which makes it a blast to watch. :)

I saw Devy many moons ago with Strapping Young Lad. He's amazing and hilarious! I'm glad you enjoyed!!

Devy is a guilty pleasure for me. He's so different from the normal kind of rock and metal that I'm into, but he's truly amazing at what he does.

[@Oshidorinohina]

thank you for doing this song. the studio version is also very beautiful.

I went to see him live a year ago and the performance was amazing. Plus he gave me a bro hug and a handshake after the show too which was cool. :)

Definitely need to do "Deadhead" Live at Royal Albert Hall. Stupidly amazing. It'll get you in the feels.

[@muriloninja]

1:29 "He's keeping it forward"...100% spot on! So many "vocal coaches" reacting now and they never seem to point out the techniques behind distortion (or vocal fry) applications being done properly or not. DT is 100% spot on with his application of distortion and vocal fry and that is precisely why he has been able to maintain this level for 27yrs now (going back to Sex & Religion Album with Steve Vai when he was 19yrs old in '93).

[@matthewmcclain8273]

I keep seeing people suggesting Devin Townsend- Deadhead Live at Royal Albert Hall, which is phenomenal, but if you want a hint at how vicious his vocals were when he was younger, I say check out Strapping Young Lad- Aftermath Live @ Download 2006. P.S., Beth, I just gotta say, you are BEAUTIFUL!

[@speckon]

So happy for you that you got to experience the great Devin Townsend. Sit back and enjoy your ride, you will love it!

And like several others said: Check out his song Deadhead at the Royal Albert Hall. I cried like a little girl when I heard this version for the first time!

Devin was also front man for the band Strapping Young Lad Checkout the video for the song LOVE

[@Mellanslag]

Love seeing people discover Devin. Don't miss out on Deadhead from Royal Albert Hall. The Death of Music from the same show is great aswell, but probably more from a listening than a analytical perspective. He's also done other stuff in Casualites of Cool, which is... great. If you can, check out anything he's done with Anneke, they are grrreat together :)
