Devin Townsend solo

[AstraVex]

Hot for teacher!!!

[roidrage11]

i would have rather heard him play some his own stuff instead of van halen

[roidrage11]

hes playing a van halen song

[ShredFever92]

easy solo. i honestly dont know why everyones so impressed. like for real. and no you odnt need to respond with a "youre jealous" thing cause im not. it wasnt that good. get over it.

[mclauch666]

@ShredFever92 what an annoying pretentious comment!, but then again you are impressed by shaun lane, now theres some pretty dull playing!

[bovinemarauder]

@ShredFever92 I smell a pretentious fuck

[HadBrunt99]

@ShredFever92 in all honesty, i don't think this was a very good representation of Devin. But you could be less trolly with your comments either way.

[icecube0606]

AH! hot for teacher!!!

[aezeon]

yea its hot for teacher as soon as he tells gene to start playing, but its obvious at 50 seconds when dev is tapping the riff

[clubfootforyou]

You can here some Ziltoid about to be born.

[CastorAndPollux]

the first 30 seconds are from ziltoid and the six after that are from "guitar nerds" on "guitars that ate my brain"

[Erithlon]

He has a Jackson rr?? :O

[Jimm9349]

IM SO HOT FOR TEACHER RIGHT NOW. After the beginning thats hot for teacher by Van Halen. Whats the song at the end?

[Neoclassicalman]

detox

[kIwiZaLegEND]

i know this cause i own an esp ltd Dave Mustaine signature (discontinued waaay back) and am now the proud owner of a Jackson KV2... and even though allegedly identical i had to get an ESP case to fit them shits...

[kIwiZaLegEND]

but yeah guys... go with the original... be the underdog:D although i loved my 2 esp guitars NOTHING beats the sweet smooth amazing sound of jackson

:D

[Welcometothebrothel2]

Lol the jackson and the esp have exactly the same body shape. and im pretty sure you cant copyright a shape. think of how many knock offs the are of every single famous guitar shape. oh yeah and devins fucking kick ass.

[MParseface38]

oh, of course you can copyright shapes. that's what gibson did, guess why the ESP EX models look different nowdays than they used to in the 1990s.

[kIwiZaLegEND]

esp guitars knocksoff every shape that became ''popular¨ which is rather immoral and fucked up...but they do sound amazing...so its a tough cookie whether or not to play them...regardeless every single esp model is not an EXACT copy...check the headstocks and shit for example the SV has a diff headstock and is significantly larger longer and heavier than an RR...same goes for a lot of models including the ''signature series''

[ThunderCurls]

They should have covered this on an album, sounds fucking immense.

[buenoparaalgo]

WOOOAAAAA!!!!! Hot for Teacher before Detox

[faridMacLeod]

nice solo but bad sound quality !!!

too bad !

[strazzhell]

no waaay hot for teacher xD

[Kristoffa80]

Yes it is.

[HUGESNOOK]

1:14 - 1:24 caught me off guard. but in a good way.

[kanapies]

hot for teacher!!!

[dsordlyfolks666]

Is that Dev With an Alexi model?

[dsordlyfolks666]

Haven't you ever heard of the ESP Alexi Laiho Signuture? I know that it is a Jackson now that I watched it twice, but the 2 have the same body shape. Alexi did use a RR back in the early days of Bodom. Look it up.

[WeeMadArthur1]

Yes. Alexi's Jacksons got stolen during the period when Fender had recently purchased Jackson. Apparenty Fender couldn't get him a guitar made quick enough and ESP could. They don't have the same body shape, that would have resulted in a lawsuit, no doubt. They are similar. Devin is playing a Jackson Rhoads in this vid however.

[ZO120]

no its a jackson

[Kankuro1138]

invertedchords is a fucking faggot. devin townsend rocks, and has created a plethora of great music, and you couldn't even begin to dream to accomplish such excellence as this. suck my sack you douchebag.

[boadrummer]

Beginning sounds like something from the last half of By Your Command

[invertedchords]

i hate this cunt.

[phantomdoodler]

how dare you hate the townsend. fuck off

[Kankuro1138]

your a faggot

[invertedchords]

lol so m@ny l@ughs @t the replies. im just kiddin BTW

[coheedisamassacre]

i was there , oh whats that in the sky , its a shitstorm!

[r1c93]

i was at that show!

[jesse6669]

lmao

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

holy shit! i definitely wasn't expecting him to bust into Hot for Teacher. devin kicks inconceivable amounts of ass.

[rhymenocerous666]

I got my pencil, now give me something to fuckin write on, bitch!

[guitarsamuraiV56]

What guitar is he using? It looks like he's using a Jackson Rhoades model

[TimatorA]

He is

he uses it for his open D tuning (detox)

[guitarsamuraiV56]

I thought he did EVERYTHING in open C

[RiceRatwel]

Nah, there's a few SYL songs he uses for drop D, and some for drop C I think, and one entire album was in the tuning AAAEAE, but most stuff he does is in open C or has something to do with it.

[DOOBAGE69]

O_O

Devin playing Hot For Teacher?!?!

This vid put a smile on my face. :D

I love it when he says "I got my pencil, now give me something to fuckin write on, bitch!"

He's definitely one of the best musicians out there.

[Dravensdmf]

all hail the skullet!

[zombieman73]

His is the shit. A true force in the way of metal. Simply one of the best..True metal never dies!!

[MCSN666]

He just has a whole package, songwriting, master guitar player, producer, what more???

[yankees9281]

Well, he isn't God, for one thing...

Oh wait.

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

lol awesome

[Metaltilldust]

I didn't know Dev could shred.

He can do everything :)

[jonahthecaveman]

beginning sounds like i heard it somewhere before can someone post a link or some info

[RaNzOkUkEn]

devin townsend - by your command 4:50

[jonahthecaveman]

they didnt

they just takin break

[metal71]

Addicted to that rush?!?!? Try 'HOT FOR TEACHER'.

[syougasan]

cool

[guy158]

they ARE split, Devin said hes never gonna tour again with either band, SYL or his solo band

[drmoshie]

devin said many things, he said there would be no more SYL after City and look what happened.

[Sacificeuntosebek]

Such i shame i didn't get to see them before they split :(

[drmoshie]

They didnt split, they are on hiatus. I would put money on them making another album sometime

[Splosy]

no they split, for good

[zenmonkeyman22]

They didnt split for good.

[slapahah]

devin townsend is so good at everything he does. disgusting

[pigeonkiller5000]

devin townsend has changed my life... time and tiem again. i even recognized detox when they started to play it after the solo

[nexschmidt]

impressive. It might be more impressive if he hadn't said the song title before he started playing it.

[MetalMilitia2]

give me somethin to f-in write on!!!

[guy158]

DaviDives are you fucking retarded... its Hot for teacher by Van Halen you stupid fuck

[davidives]

hes playing a mr big song i swear! fuck yeah!

[KennysKoolKlub]

addicted to that rush haha

[KennysKoolKlub]

sounded like it in the beginning

[Jackthestripper]

I suppose when you toured with Vais band you must pick up a few things. He likes to solo, if he didnt he would never do it, he follows his gut, if he wants to solo then he will.

[Kuljukka]

I disagree with CamButler. This video is really fucking badass, I would love to see SYL play Van Halen live!

[streum]

Devin is so amazing, I love this man!!!

I saw SYL live, that was pure fucking enormous.

THANK YOU DEVIN

[CamButler]

Too bad they stopped after the intro of a good song and started to play the crap that SYL usually plays.

[necromuru]

Too bad you fail to recognize good music. :/

[CamButler]

What's wrong Kankuro? Too sad to keep your comment up? Maybe listening to some of that boring-ass chugga chugga that this band plays will make you feel better.

[Kankuro1138]

bitch shut the fuck up

[kIwiZaLegEND]

i hope one day, kind sir, youd have the decency to die in a brutal car crash....

meanwhile... just eat the shit you re sayin

[Scaperottica]

Weird that Devin doesnt like doing solos.  He kicks so much ass at it. Hail Devin

[lvxoccvlta]

Devin Townsend isn't known for shredtastic soloing. But damn, can he ever pull it off when he feels like it. That was 7 shades of awesome.

[IndustrialStorm]

Holy shit... the guy can actually do amazing stuff on guitar when he tries, but I remember reading somewhere him claiming that he doesn't find solos as intrusting as rhythm. or something along those lines.

[DevinTuschhoff]

Devin is my man !

[BLSberserkersdmf]

devin uses ESPS.

[marmaluke666666]

that jst looks like such an awesome gig.... wish i was there.... also, does anyone know what guitar he's using?

[emodeth]

Ha ha awesome cover of Hot For the Teacher.. Has anybody heard the Richard Cheese Version?

Devin is a fucking amazing guitarist. He is a really melodic singer too.

[MAJORdorMo]

Great video!

[JockDoc75]

Bah -- Devin's a hack!

[drmoshie]

you're mum hacked you

[JockDoc75]

Your mom went to college.

(I do have all of his CDs except the Ass-Sordid Demos -- he is by far my favorite musician.)

[MAJORdorMo]

Then why the fuck would you call him a hack?

[JockDoc75]

I mean this is embarrassing -- for you.

okay. If I were to call the Himalayan Mountain Range "molehills" would you believe I was kidding? If I were to call a blue whale "a guppy" would you believe it was just a joke?

Maybe now you can understand. I thought it was obvious to all of us here that Devin Townsend was born to do this.

[JockDoc75]

Seriously -- if I called a humpback whale "a guppy" could I be more obviously sarcastic? Check out my favorite music videos. You'll get it. ;)

[JockDoc75]

j/k He's the consumate Rock Star. Nobody can touch him vocally and jeebus what a great solo! (Thanks, Shredder ;) )

[strappingyounglad18]

jesus was that ever kickass.

[eyeoftheenemy]

hahahhhaah awesome!

[bloodviolence]

hells yeah van halen, he does it better

[FNMBrando]

hahahaaa!!

great video, got more???

[CodMetalKing]

wow, awesome vid thanks man. dev is the man!

[Mesmerized]

Nice upload! Thanks
