DTP-Tuska 2011: 'By Your Command'

[12801024]

Damn I love the chorus! Devin's vocals are stunning to say the least! :)

[quaddoproductions]

I'm on this video...! Being faded in the background with Devin.. Epic!

[MrSoybe]

Yes thats what it is! Boob--O-Phonic!

[iseeu1980]

What about the other songs from this show? Can they be found with a similar mix?

[v8soarer1982]

Speechless. Saw him at The Forum in Melbourne... simply amazing. Solid as fuck performance with laughs to boot. Everybody needs to see him live!

[WasDrogan]

Brought to you in boob-o-phonic stereo!

[weepingthunder]

I watch him at Soundwave.  Fucking excellent live!

[TheOmegaeyes]

3:43 - 3:46 YOU KNOW He's checkin' her out!! Who woulden't?! Anneke is AMAZING!!

[argondonkey]

By god this man's voice is incredible

[ThanatopicalRape]

@argondonkey Vocally, everything Devin has ever been a part of is absolute Gold

[TheBlackDahlia815]

scary

[Cataclysm31]

How did Mr Young turn into such a fucking pimp? :D

[avelanchefan]

I MAY BE A MAN, BUT I AM NO FUCKING PUSSY!! LMAO Devin...so classic!

[quaddoproductions]

@avelanchefan

Isn't it "I may be a nerd, but....*"

[avelanchefan]

@quaddoproductions

oops you are right! so sorry....still classic!



[quaddoproductions]

@avelanchefan

True that! 

[MarinVillalpando15]

@quaddoproductions Yup, 'tis correct.

[sykstus1]

PRS SE Mike Mushok signature xD Nice :)

[minifialho]

IF THERE WERE TO BE 2 LIKE BUTTONS IN THIS PAGE I'D CLICK THEM BOTH!

[thevikingwarrior11]

6:51.... That face...

[dantex6x]

ICS Vortex and him should do a song together!

[Zsbalee]

If you like goulash, come to Hungary :D

[Smerdiis]

@Zsbalee

is it different from the Czech goulash?

[Zsbalee]

@Smerdiis Sadly, I don't know much about other goulashes, but as I know it is a traditional hungarian meal. (for 500 years, haha, since Europe has paprika :) Anyways, I would be happy if Devy could come. (Maybe he won't, yesterday I was on Opeth and they were playing in a club!!! :P)

[Smerdiis]

@Zsbalee

in a club??? wow :)))) it must've been an amazin show

[tomtom777otz]

At 3:56, I was on another browser tab, so I had no idea that wasn't Devin singing. But it wouldn't have surprised me if it was, because he's got an insane range. Awesome stuff.

[mrmadame28]

the end of this song is just sooo fucking intense

[frebetta]

The guitar it's a cow's foot LoL

[njskate4death]

was this a DVD?!

[RGTheMute]

Sweet song, I love Devin. But this is what I call shitty audio.

[GutterTactic]

Do i save my acid for his Sideshow or take it all at Soundwave?

[Hicksx]

@GutterTactic What sideshow..?

[Zebula77]

Man, I loooove ZTO. :)

[MarinVillalpando15]

I've watched this video far too many times. I sing and play along to it, I've memorized every non-singing line including Ziltoid's lines and the dialogue of the human general and his soldiers, everything. I'm such a freak haha.

[sixthseparatist]

@MarinVillalpando15 You're not alone. :P

[MarinVillalpando15]

@sixthseparatist Video collaboration cover? :D

[MrBlakkswan]

Holy fuck! <=========if you watch the whole video you will understand this.

[Ray666Magini]

What a climax.

[junkfoodftw]

i watch this too much

[junkfoodftw]

amazing! 

[everydayperson764]

This video is the reason why i love this bloke!

[BinauralBrainwave]

5:01 is so epic, in a geeky kind of way

[TheLavirix]

So fucking amazing!

[mas12000]

didnt know voldemort started a band

[Death66reaper6]

@mas12000 False. Voldemort doesn't have a nose.

[mas12000]

@Death66reaper6 surgery

[18266609]

Devins awesome

[MarinVillalpando15]

Roses are red

Violets are blue

You think any better than Devin?

Well then, FUCK YOU!

[gojirametallica]

@MarinVillalpando15 roses are grey,

violets are grey.

Im color blind fuck my life

[MarinVillalpando15]

@gojirametallica Just as long as you have the ears and heart for metal, you've got an über awesome life.

[gojirametallica]

@MarinVillalpando15 yup

[isktrfu]

@MarinVillalpando15 Metal, jazz, rock, classical, pop, whatever. As long as you live your life the way you want to, as long as you listen to the music you really like, then you have an über awesome life. And the same goes with these artists, Devin didn't really enjoy making SYL-kind of music anymore a few years back. So he took a break, stopped drinking and smoking pot, started making more mellow music and the man still kicks ass. He's just sober and more positive nowadays.

[MarinVillalpando15]

@isktrfu Yupz. It was such a crazy transition from SYL to what he writes now. He's probably one of the very few metal artists out there who actually stopped drugs and writes music the way he does from being darker and heavy, to progressive and even ambient. Super amazing :)

[LordNothing]

fucking ending is great!

[BeardedDanishViking]

Who's the woman?

[countbleck35]

@BeardedDanishViking anneke van giersbergen. search for the gathering on youtube. don't bother with the new singer.

[yourtree]

i´m just watching 4.05 - 4.12 over and over again

[PjokkPjokk]

Remove Devins nose, and you've got Voldemort!

[russianradio85]

@PjokkPjokk VOL-DEV-MORT

[KddRbbt]

@PjokkPjokk bitch pls

[KddRbbt]

@PjokkPjokk voldemort aint got swag 8-)

[NeverEndingDaze]

Shitty audio for the first 5 seconds, and then as soon as you hear "ZILTOID!" everything becomes crystal clear... gotta love Devy!

[MrUncleanus]

Dear Canada, I forgive you for Celine Dion, Nickelback, and Justin Bieber because you also gave us Devin Townsend.

[shawn1973amc]

canada's most underrated artist

[someguy480]

12 people are hiding the finest bean

[MarinVillalpando15]

POUND POUND POUND POUND FUCKING POUND!!! \m/

[iseeu1980]

It's good that Devin is so productive, cause I'm Addicted!

[MarinVillalpando15]

@iseeu1980 Might be because of the finest bean that he makes his coffee with.

[JonnyOnly666]

Is there a soundboard mix of wintersun?

[avengedinhell]

such a magical scene, in the sunset....

[MikeBsMovies]

ANNEKE = WIN



[VRTXofficial3]

All I can say is WOW! Devin you are incredible.

[hrdcorebeast]

Wow who's that chick that came out and sang?

[isktrfu]

@hrdcorebeast Anneke Van Giersbergen, the female singer who sang with Devin in Addicted album.

[BlaggBaskalla]

what a fucking badass

[Cataclysm31]

WOW

[babywithacrowbar]

There should be about 300 LIKE buttons all over this page. I want everybody in the whole world to see this video. It's one of the most inspirational things I've seen on youtube. This is fucking music for you.

[MarinVillalpando15]

@babywithacrowbar I'm spreading this video on facebook like a disease. Seems most people aren't all that familiar with actually amazing music like this.

[frankm5150]

Why do the camera men for this concert have a grudge against his guitar? They barely show him playing. I wanna see those arpeggios

[shatterlife]

Wow, at times, his face takes on the same look as Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies.

[shitfuckshit82]

fuck yeah

[MarinVillalpando15]

2:22 I dono why I just love that heavy booming sound as he gets into that part of the song :D

[EvilKatarn]

I wish there was more of this concert.

[Vigilante606]

YOU HAVE NOT CONVINCED MIGHTY ZILTOID!!!!!!!

[JmcKay5]

i may be a nerd...BUT I'M NO FUCKING PUUUSSYYY

[RAMMSTEINcovers1995]

Whats devin wearing in his ears? are they ear plugs

[mlasz]

@RAMMSTEINcovers1995 in ear monitors

[iAmPesukone]

@RAMMSTEINcovers1995 As mlasz said, they're in-ear monitors. Basically earplugs that protect the artists' ears from the insane volume and at the same time let the artist hear exactly what's going on inside the mixing board. They help the artist to keep track of what they're doing and singing.

[MarinVillalpando15]

@iAmPesukone How much do in-ear monitors cost?

[iAmPesukone]

@MarinVillalpando15 I'd say good ones can cost anything between $50 and $1000, though I don't have any real knowledge. If you want custom molded earpieces, prepare to pay more.

[iAmPesukone]

@iAmPesukone Apparently some brands have models that cost $1300+ :D

[MarinVillalpando15]

@iAmPesukone Oo boy haha.

[iAmPesukone]

@MarinVillalpando15 Non-custom ones are rather cheap, though, and have basically all the features.You can even get pretty good IEMs for $170, but the better ones are all >$400

[MarinVillalpando15]

@iAmPesukone Hmmm, I see! Thanks for the info! :)

[LutzZero]

what does he say at @00:15

[bobsbro4]

@LutzZero

I may be a nerd, but im no fucking pussy!

[LutzZero]

@bobsbro4 thanks

[Gonko100]

what a great fucking voice this man has

[MarinVillalpando15]

@Gonko100 Must be the special bean in his coffee. He will never share it...

[berserker213]

Oh and please play at Pheonix Hill in Louisville, KY again...I missed it when DTP came through with the CoB tour :(

[berserker213]

I need one of the Devin signature Vs

[Visuvh]

Wow, incredible atmosphere. Such oneness with the music is rarely to be witnessed AND acting ziltoidish as bonus! xD

[frylocdub]

i want devin to do all the vocals on the next mastodon  album

[frylocdub]

lord voldemort looks like devin

[clanrat]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Love the harmony vocal bit.

[TheMoistdesert]

Devin must be the living proof that you don't need to be a drunk loser/weed smoker to play rock'n roll. Compare this performance with the SYL gig @ Download. Holy shit! His vocals are so much better and he seems more confident with the guitar now!

[sk8rt33]

i am the 77,777th view. mean anything? probably not..

[thegrimreaper7]

PLEASE DEVIN! GIVE US MOREEE!!!

[beetmatchfail]

Hands down biggest balls in all of metal.

[jibbie001]

4:50 ... is Devin the 'No.' Meme???

[jurnag12]

@jibbie001 Goddamnit, now my coffee's all over the monitor. Someone seriously needs to get a screencap of that and post it on 9gag or something.

[jibbie001]

@jurnag12 I would do it, but I've got no screenshot stuff on this computer. Freaked the shit outta me too I'll tell ya.

[jurnag12]

"I am so omniscient, if there were to be 743,000 omniscientses, I would be all 3!"

[psypeterson]

Ziltoid the Omniscient is one of my favourite albums ever recorded, and I would have killed several unarmed children to be at this concert just to see this one song played live.

Good thing for unarmed children everywhere, YouTube is an acceptable alternative.

[ricochetlaugh]

fuck Devin please come to CHILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vigilante606]

It would also be nice if most of the people in the crowd would recognize genius!

[Vigilante606]

This....this shit....this shit is just awesome! I couldn't help but watch it over and over again like a thousand times

[12inchvertical]

sometimes he reminds me of the Jim Steinman of heavy metal. Except much better

[Tristriam]

The duet with Anneke and Devin made my nipples hard as Ziltoid's cock.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

almost good enough i'd have to say for being a clone of hugh jackman in the fountain.

[rowdyJ0E]

One of the best things about Devin's live concerts is the awesome facial expressions.

[alhoax]

you can't dislike this! i was there! i loved it!! :D

[cooliovasquez]

this is better than the album version, which is saying a whole lot

[junkfoodftw]

Devin.. get this on tv!

[xxxserialxxx]

The other guitarist is wearing EXACTLY the same thing he did at Tuska 2010.

[marantanic]

@xxxserialxxx who cares what he's wearing!! enjoy the music! :3

[InnocentFilth]

5:40

Devin just looked into your soul.

[ziggmeister6]

I think Devin is god. And I'm a fucking atheist. THAT'S how cool he is!

[Flamewalk]

Devin is an _outstanding_ musician and stage performer.

BTW, the sound quality is not bad for a life recording)

[ferox965]

outstanding...and there's anneke from the gathering



[TheWeedEclipse]

7:59 The end of the world.

[St4rzZ]

devin, im hoping with all my being that you make another ziltoid album, or another musical of something. ziltoid is pure genius sir. you are one rockin guy. much love

[Destructerator]

@St4rzZ I think he is, it's called Z2

[Opranius]

8:15 Nergal switches into Devins mind for a few seconds xD

[Edge2437]

The best part is 00:00-8:28.

[MarinVillalpando15]

All I gotta say is, "Holy shit..." Seriously such an impressive and moving performance.

[tehl33t666]

@MarinVillalpando15 It was 10x better watching live there at Helsinki :)

[MarinVillalpando15]

@tehl33t666 Duude, Finland is like, the world capital of metal. It is one of the many reasons I want to study there! :D

[tehl33t666]

@MarinVillalpando15 Do come here and join the moshes!

[MarinVillalpando15]

@tehl33t666 I'd be more then glad to, and you cannot exclude the alcohol :)

[EnarPilrith1]

Awesome song! Devin is brilliant.

[obedyohn22]

i love devin to death, put he says the reason he dosn't play syl songs is because he dosnt want to feel that intense when playing them, put here and when i saw him live this year, he was the most intense guitarist/singer/god that i have ever seen in my life!

[guitardude901]

No band on earth can reach that level intensity!

[contraELILUMINADO7]

i didn´t know of this band but they kiss some FUCKING ASS....the riffs, the fixes with the bridges the mix with their voices and the tocuh of symphony is´t just amazing

[gojirametallica]

@contraELILUMINADO7 *kick

[dbz1129]

@contraELILUMINADO7 ITS ALL DEVIN!!! hes a genius.

[TheDubJake]

I keep coming back to this video. It's just so fucking epic, I can't even describe.

[MadMetalMacho]

Holy shit I've seen devin live twice, seen all his dvds and stuff but man, this performance is fucking spot on.

[DarkMedievalTimes1]

mental stuff altogether lol : )

[craigfromnewcastle]

That's fucking brilliant - I have the album but that's an excellent rendition.

Love it - and I'm listening to it on shitty laptop speakers at the moment....

[bla78ck]

wheres the rest of this concert..????

[Armunzen]

It's been a while since I last saw an awesomely awesome video like this one

[guitarszzz]

... cough genius cough

[hand2handtx]

I. Have. No. Words...

[junkfoodftw]

this is my favorite video on youtube ever.

[kippeveer]

Damn. Anneke is soo fucking hot!!

[ToBooze]

Awesome Devin is awesome. Such a unique man. Btw whos the girl?

[isktrfu]

@ToBooze Anneke Van Giersbergen. Ex-singer of the dutch band the Gathering, one of the pioneers of so called "symphonic metal". She left the band 2007 and has a band of her own now. Absolutely stunning singer and a woman.

[c4tze]

@isktrfu the gatheringwithout this sexy woman: legion of te dammned

[JackWilsonVideos]

@ToBooze idk is she the one who did vocals on addicted!?

[isktrfu]

@JackWilsonVideos Yes, she is. And Devin is also planning to make another record with her, called Epicloud.

[Misterunnamed]

@isktrfu

Fuck yes, that's a musical duo that should be in the hall of fame.

[FKNhostile187]

I wish I had 1/10 your talent sir.

[Wobscured]

Enter goosebump-edition of Ziltoid oooh!!

[diabeticmonkey]

Dat ass nod at 4:42. Ha.

[witsu]

I'll be forever bitter for missing this gig. And the Ziltoid Special a year before. But the Teatria gig in March was f-king marvellous!

[vaxkors95]

This version is so fucking brutal in the guitars...
