  • Stupid! question! but! why! does! every! song! off! Addicted! have! an! explanation! mark! at! the! end! of! the! title!

  • @BinaryPill According to the Addicted production commentary, he was inspired by a Jehovah's Witness pamphlet that said "Awake!" or something like that.

  • I believe this song is about going all out, to give it everything you've got, then it goes on to remind you that you don't have to go at it all alone that there's more value to what one does. Things are bigger than it seems, that life gets over whelming at times but gotta stay strong with your values.

    In other words don't be a pussy take life by the balls but don't forget the people around you that give you meaning.

  • Polacy są wszędzie, nawet robią teledyski dla Devina!

  • Neat.

  • WARNING: This video is definitely not suitable for epileptics.

    Awesome song though.

  • The best song ever? It's debatable.

    No, fuck that. There's no debate.

  • i'm sorry, but i'm confused. i'm a big devin townsend fan, but i have absolute no clue what this song's about. is it really about bender from futurama, is that just a joke? well, whatever. this is an amazing song and i can't wait to see him again.

  • @KDR466 who cares what it's about if it rocks?

  • thank god for those subtitles 

  • this is my anti-depression drug

  • WOW. one listen and im hooked lol awesome stuff

  • people complain a lot about more popular-oriented music being too popular... but it's worth noting that a lot of the music we regard as old classics these days rarely topped the charts back in the day. rihanna, lady gaga, artists like these will fade into obscurity over the years; because only real artists with quality can stand the test of time. so no, music in the modern age isn't bad, it's just that all the bad shit produced the last century never made it into the new one.. devin will make it

  • @Isaacelric1129

    Tell that to Ludwig "I flip off princes for a living" Beethoven.

  • I hate the people that refuse to listen to Hevy Devy cause he's not BMTH or Bullet or any of the other shitty "metal" bands out there. This man is a genius and by god, he should be respected.

  • @UncleGerry1

    Course he should be respected but it's not other bands are dissing him.

    It's the posers.

    Don't get get mad at other bands because they get popular.

  • @JonBradinVic I'm not insinuating that they're bad because they're popular, all i'm saying is that they're all of miniscule talent in comparison to Devy. There's a guy I know, who's a huge Steve Vai fan, but refuses to listen to Sex And Religion because it has Devy in it. The reason he hates Devy? Because I like him. People are shit, and anyone as brilliant as Devy should be world recognised as a genius of epic proportions.

  • @UncleGerry1

    Sure. I agree with with you but........

    That's the way it's always been . That the true artists are recognised AFTER the fact.

    100 years years from now Devin Townsend will be recognised for the genius he is and the top 40 bands will be forgotten.

  • @JonBradinVic Dear lord, I hope I live that long.

  • I'm the only person that's 14 and in High School that knows and loves Heavy Devvy :( wanna see him in concert SOOOO bad!!! Dx!!

  • @GaaraxChopstickx You, young child, have the best musical taste in comparison to the rest of the fucktards your age. Two 1up Mushrooms to you.

  • @Shinakumiatsu :) Thank you! I've listened to Heavy Devvy ever since i was born pretty much :D THANKS TO MY DAD! XD

  • @GaaraxChopstickx Your dad sounds like an excellent man to listen to metal with :D

  • @Shinakumiatsu Indeed he is! :D

  • Wow......

    What a music video SHOULD be.

  • This is WAY too awesome to be just a music vid. This deserves to be a movie.

  • Why the Japanese subs?

  • Comment removed

  • @HxCbeliever I was wondering that myself.

  • This is fucking acid in a video. Jesus Christ I have never seen something so intense, holy FUCK

  • Epic the man is epic.. nough said

  • "Game over losers I have all the money", best Futurama quote ever.

  • DEVIN TOWNSEND IS BADASS! \m/

  • Comment removed

  • Bender RULES!!!

  • I saw Devin Townsend last weekend and got him to sign a maxi pad.

  • Hell yeah! I got the 1,337th like!

  • Comment removed

  • Her vocals remind me of Foo Fighters for some reason...Not today Foo, more like late 90s Foo.

  • This song is so fucking catchy

  • Only Devin Townsend could pull off a seamless transition from hard rock/metal to full out dance beat pop!

    He is amazing

  • This song makes me wanna flip the bird on national television.

  • DEVY IS SO UNDERRATED!!! This is like prog metal combined with J-pop lol

  • "GAME OVER LOSERS!! I HAVE ALL THE MONEY!!"

    xD yup.. Imma be sayin' that one alot now.. xP

  • This song annoyed me at first but the chorus was stuck in my head all week and now I think this song is awesome

  • 27 people can bite my shiny, metal ass.

  • 2 soundwaves in one year the dude makes it worth 160 bucks cause van halen aren't worth 10 dollars of that would love to see alterbridge and hevydevy get some sideshows in perth so get to see 2 full sets anyway hurry up sept 3rd cant wait to you live (see ya at the front perth ppl

  • This isn't directed by Devin Townsend? I feel lied to...

  • Why is this song called "Bend it like Bender?!" WHY!!?!? :-S

  • Cause, regarding to the meaning of the song, if uve watched Futurama, Bender was that robot that revolted to his original programming and did wtf he wanted to. The song tells u to give a loud FU to all these ppl that use us for their own selfish interests, thus the relation. "Bend" it like Bender, like bend your initial route, get a hold of your destiny or such. Thats what i receive of this song, only a personal opinion.

  • @Anything2bCool does devy need a reason this dude is 21st centry zappa just ask s. v he's worked with both ,calling one a boy genius at 20 ;'0 and he just gets better happy hevy devy daze to all who get to see a live show this /next year

  • @Anything2bCool As in Bender from Futurama.

  • @Wattstone yep.. thats me.... I´m so embarrassed, too good guality video D,,: BUT it was still awesome!

  • Devin Townsend+Futurama makes my pants damp with jizz.

  • who is the girl in the video ???

  • @defection Anneke Van Giersbergen.

    Sort of. . .

  • @defection Anneke van Giersbergen, former vocalist of The Gathering.

  • so cheese laden.

    so badass.

  • I love Anneke's voice, it's beautiful! Fits this song perfectly, as in The Gathering

  • Awesome video. Crazy and colorful - just like I want my coffee in the morning.

  • game over losers, i have all the money!!!!

  • Game's over losers, I have ALL the money!

  • A masterpiece album a mastrerpiece song!!!

    Greetings from Greece!

  • A masterpiece album a mastrerpiece song!!!

    Greetings from Greece!

  • Devin;s opning up for Children of Bodom during their north american tour. They really should be opening for him. :P

  • @MadGodful Couldn't agree more. Went to see the concert when they were in Winnipeg. I went to go see Devin Townsend, not Children of Bodom. I think lots of people there were the same way

  • @Perallious I went in St. Paul, having never heard any of the four bands, and DTP was the most breath-taking one of them all. So glad I spent that $26!

  • @kingfullmetal Worth every penny and more! I thought I didn't spend much at $37 but $26!?!?! A steal of a deal to see Devin. Such an underrated artist. I kinda like the fact that he is underrated thought because when people finally do find out about him, the become true fans. He is kinda like a really awesome secret that is very well kept lol.

  • @Perallious It was a great show, especially Devin's part.

  • @MadGodful Damnit i frickin love COB.. <3 saw em in concert years ago but I WANNA SEE DEVIN!! Dx

  • At Oulu, Finland 31.3.2011. THE BEST moment of my life: Devin asks a handful of people to come to the stage and dance like fools while playing "Bend it like bender". Meeting all the guys and Anneke is asking me to come to the front of the stage to dance and sing with her because there is no other chicks at the stage. It was dreams coming true :D

  • @asdasdasd407 They did the same thing in Helsinki, unfortunately I wasn't in the front row.

  • @asdasdasd407 So, it's you on this video: /watch?v=aP7D9S4KUOg ?  That's awesome!

  • @asdasdasd407 i got on stage on 30.3 in their gig in Helsinki :D the best moment of my life. After the song i hugged dev. :DDD

  • @asdasdasd407 I saw that :D xD

  • I tried looking for "Addicted" at my favorite local record store. They didn't have it. Damn it.

  • @Sekiath I think it's only available at devy's online store. anyway, buy there so more of your money goes to the artist

  • yesterday in vienna i was on stage with devin dancing to this song ^^

  • @blunznseppale I was there too (first row left of the stage), it was fucking great :-)) Didn't climb on stage though... but i got to shake Devin's hand, so i'm ok :-)

  • @Craplatte nice :) i was first row on the right side but more in the middle, got a picture with him after the show :)

  • it's a compliment tweetheart :B

  • I saw him yesterday, and he finished with this, inviting people up onto the stage to dance. I know that epic is an overused word these days, but for fucks sake!

  • @Emberland Voxhall? :) Best freakin' concert ever.

  • @Mirageys Voxhall indeed. And yeah, It may just have been the best concert I've ever seen!

  • @Emberland I was there too, at The Rock. It was an epic evening!

  • @dheeris Nope, Voxhall. But still, I imagine he kicks ass on any stage : )

  • @Emberland was it in Oslo? I was there too, awesome show! :D

  • More dates in England please!

  • This song is like ecstasy to the ears!

  • why do i not hear praise for anneke?

  • @tsirosgoddammit Her singing made the album. I'm a big Devin fan but it was nice to hear something a little different.

  • Just bought my ticket for the 15th march!

    Devin, you seriously have to play this live! Plus Disruptr and Deadhead.

  • hello Mister Devin Townsend Sir!

    please, please, please read this i wonder if i could ask you a huge , nigh astronimical favour. Due to stupidity i was unable to get tickets to your concerts in the UK , for myself and my lovely fellow. i'm not asking for tickets!

    i wonder if maybe you could make my boyfriends life, his actual fully blown life,

    and tell him hello?, His name is Dan Twiss and he is the most fantastic, beautiful person in the whole world . i love him...and he loves you .

  • @kateevans1987 Try twittering him or send him an e-mail. I highly doubt that he reads youtube comments all day.

  • @bamsebomsen  cheers dude :)

  • @kateevans1987 Hello Kate Evans, I'm Devin Townsend. How old are you really? born in 1987, that makes you 24 years? God damn girl you're stupid. You freaking think I surf around at youtube reading comments??? So, no I won't say hello to your boyfriend. He can't be worthy of my attention if he's in love with someone as downright stupid as you. - Devin

  • @meNtor890 What the fuck, you're not Devin Townsend, I'm Devin Townsend. - Devin

  • Comment removed

  • I love Dev and everything he puts his hands on, but this vid and song remind me so much of The Offsprings's Hammerhead song and vid

  • is it any coincidence that the URL for this video is 'face fwkz?'

  • @peirateis Yes, it is.

  • @peirateis What's fwkz..?

  • @dominic508 "fucks."

  • @peirateis Yes.

  • games over losers I have all the money

  • BELLISSIMO

  • BELLISSIMO

  • awesome:)))

  • Addicted has been in my car stereo since I got it, and every time this song comes on I want to break through my windshield and start a dance party.

  • There's something mystically beautiful about the animation, especially during the chorus with this track. Sure, it's a goofy, comical song written about Bender "Bending" Rodriguez, but the way it's written says everything. Top 5, easy.

  • @ayanami5221 Mmm, it could be a reference to the Animatrix cartoon (the chapter called The Second Renaissance). The karma godess in this video is quite similar to the one in Animatrix. Anyways, cartoons and animation rock!

  • Comment removed

  • @mkklmann It could also be seen as a reference to Nia, during the second season of Gurren Lagann. But given the Japanese subtitles, I think we can all agree that it's a reference to anime in general, and that Devy's a weeaboo just like the rest of us. xD

  • @ayanami5221 Devin is a wapaneese, no doubt! Lots of nods to the japanese people, but then again, all descent artists do...

  • This video is fucking awful. Only good part is 0:00 - 3:43...

  • We are one (humanity) and we have found they only wanted you around to hold you down (the powers that be/aliens/reptillians/satan) so hold your ground, we won't be here forever!

    My crazy paranoid mind.

  • This song, you know it's HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVYYYYY

  • coooooooooooooooooooooooooool!­

  • @poopynuggeteer going through my old stuff an found the Vai sex and religion album, loved the vocals, searched and found this........ love this sound man, has me and my 11yr old daughter bouncing like loons :)) keep going Devin, and when are you touring the UK???

  • Comment removed

  • the shit, this is

  • @mediawilleatitself jajajaj fuckins comment

  • @mediawilleatitself jajajaj

  • Fuck.

    Couldn't fathom whether the design nerd or the music nerd in me had orgasmed first.

  • going to his concert tomorrow i cant fucking wait!

  • @31337wiggles im going too im stoked for this night

  • My eyes!!

  • Just watched this video really really beyond epically baked out of my skull....May i say i just heard the symphony of Godliness as you enter the gates of Heaven. Birth, Metal, Death.....The only life i'll live.

  • People that believe in some big guy in the sky needs a fucking teacher, God has been on this planet all along...All hail Devy!

  • Indeed Japanese subtitles, and indeed neither I have any idea why.

    But do we need a explanation? No, because its Devin FUCKING Townsend! Rock on!

  • Devin + Bender = Badassness

  • The music IS great, the video a bit weird - a combination of video games & tentacle p***

    Are the subtitles in Japanese?

  • @MsMorko Yes. I have no clue what it says, but it's definitely Japanese.

  • No idea of what I just watched, impressed nonetheless.

  • What the fuck? This is awesome!

  • metal, show them hows it done

  • Just saw him play tonight and it was absolutely ridiculous. My god the wall of sound coming at you is just unbelievable. It's so big, so massive, so perfect. This was my first taste of Devy live and I walked away thoroughly impressed! Un-fucking-believable!

  • Is there anything this man can't do?

  • @thecanks Yes, there is something he can't do, and that is suck :)

  • This is an amazing video in my opinion. It's like a mystical combination of Gravity's Rainbow, and the final scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey, sewed together in a Three and a half minute of post-modernist ecstasy... God damn, I always knew you were godly Devin.

  • Sharon Apple?

  • I'm a big SYL fan and don't really care for most (not all) of his solo (other projects) stuff, with the exception of Ocean Machine and a few DTB songs. But just for the record, I can't help but dig this. I'm sorry, but it just got under my skin. What can a guy do??

    I understand why someone wouldn't like this, though. But like it or not, even a Devy fan can't say this is odd or unexpected. He does what he wants, and what he does is usually the best of whatever it is, even if you don't like it.

  • @DarthMohammed Each to their own I guess, I perosnally fucking love this. I'm not going to fight oyur opinion though, because I probably hate some of the stuff you like.

  • @lahbl Dude, read my comment again. If you like this video, there's no opinion of mine to fight against. I said I dig this... that means I like it. I didn't mean "it got under my skin" in a bad way. I meant that as "it grew on me the more I listened to it."

  • the video is far away from awesomeness

  • this is fucking....INSANE!

  • soooo catchy!

  • lol, tomfrankenfool is getting a lot of attention, I thought it was impossible for a self produced artist who treats his musical development as a project to sell out, but maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about

  • Ziltoid likes cock.

  • God i fucking hate all this ANIME-ROCK shit ........it's fucking gay. Can't you muppets create a propper rock video? Or are you too lame and sold out to admit it. hmpf gay.

  • @tomfrankenstein rant more kay?

  • @tomfrankenstein lol umad?

  • @tomfrankenstein so when did devin townsend sell out and sell 4 millions copies of this cd? i'm confused...

  • @tomfrankenstein Wait, "all this" anime-rock shit? You mean there's more stuff you consider "anime-rock"? What else is there? WHAT THE HECK. WHAT IS ANIEM ROCK.

  • @Pordontae Gorillaz, "Clint Eastwood"? *shrugs*

  • @Pordontae J Rock like Hyde and Gahckt, thats more of what your referring to.

  • @tomfrankenstein

    you listen to music for the music videos ?

    Who cares whats in a music video, it's the music that matters... MTV has fucking ruined some of you children

    /rolleyes

  • jesus christ i love this song

  • okay so the song was about partying and having fun, so wtf was the video about????

  • Screw the troops. This song alone is worth more than them :>

  • @Feuyaer seriously, fuck them, they got themselves into it and they are trained to get themselves out of it pretty well from what I have seen sooooooooo, LONG LIVE HEVY DEVI! (props at theglow101)

  • ok yeah this freaking rules

  • Wow, I can't stop listening to this.. I'm just trying to pick it apart. I watch the video and I think of our troops, guys like my cousins and nephews, but then I listen to the video and I want to get up and dance. It's a varied clusterfuck of emotions. I think my brain melted. Thanks Devin.

  • When i first heard this song I was like "What the crap?" But like all of Dev's creations I've fallen in love with it. This should be a future Bleach outro!

  • Love this song so much...Heh doesn't need to make sense coz it Devvy! My song of the year!
