Tiny Deconstruction vid

[HeavyDude3000]

awesome, i would like to see more of the choir recording

[Anything2bCool]

Just listening to the music at the start is cracking me up. I didnt know music in itself could be so funny. Then I see Devin making that face and doing that arm movement. LMAO Its so stupid and over the top...but thats whats makes it so great.

[FellishBeast]

I bet those singers are like "wtf..."

They may not even know what they were a part of...

[ElGrapadora]

but what do they call Big Macs in Prague?!

[oAPXo]

All beef patty, pickles, onions... on a sesame seed bunnnn

[oAPXo]

All beef patty, pickles, onions... on sesame seed bunnnn

[Pequenno54]

hes a genious :D is crazy but make so fucking good music

[SSHGL]

It is a metal fundamental to headbang whenever you hear a staccato :)

[AnnatarYoung]

"NO YOU WRETCHED SPAWN OF SATAN, YOU CANNOT HAZ CHEEZBURGER!"

[007Pogo]

I Can Haz Cheezburger?

[FnejK]

The lyrics for the choir are taken from an old 70's big mac comercial xD

[SonsOfLiberity]

Damn From just this i know for a fact this will be a good album .

Years from now the world will ask where were you when deconstruction Dropped?

[NitroCoasters]

For the people who aren't English: The Cheeseburger song's lyrics are actually about a cheeseburger :)

[wupstorm]

This is definetely some weird shit^) I wonder how it all turns out..

[RandomJackOfDoom]

Cheeseburger's been renamed Deconstruction btw.

[McMadman94]

An orchestral song with choirs called "Cheeseburger". Only in the wonderful mind of Devin Townsend.

[Bobsikus]

you are awesome Dev !! :D

[AmericanIdiot1991]

I first thought that the bald guy in the beginning was Devin. And I was like: " wtf?! Why is he so calm?" Then the camera turns, and the real Devin is there. Heheheh, you have to laugh of him. Craaazy bald canadian

[MrDillonB19]

This is just TOO brilliant for words. We all shall pray to our lord and savior Devin Townsend and we all shall recieve insane greatness.

[KongoXIIV]

This guy has so much epic power...look at em all sittin there playing their instruments...All because Devin wanted them to!

[homenucleonic666]

Zappa got "the yellow shark", Dev "Deconstruction"

[slingster]

This definately has my interest.

[parlezuml]

@poopynuggeteer Dude, this album is going to kick so much ass that nobody's gonna be able to sit down for a month.

[samehomar1993]

Cheeseburger has been renamed to Deconstruction. Also, The Mighty Masturbator is going to be 17 minutes long!!!

[ChrisXDumbass]

So, when are these albums gonna be released?

Is is March, or June?

[Ronixis]

Devin definately kicked in the Zappa-gear when he kicked the drugs :)

[homenucleonic666]

igor townsend ? devin stravinsky ?

[campoobutt]

@homenucleonic666 I agree, exactly what it made me think of: a chaotic Stravinsky piece, like Rite Of Spring or Firebird...but about a cheeseburger.

[homenucleonic666]

@campoobutt i'm impatient, so I listen again Rite of Spring today, amazing in DTS !

[Makemyassbleed]

When are you doing Southern California again?

I missed the Cynic BTBAM show.

I bought a ticket for the last San Diego show, but I couldn't make it.

I swear to Ziltoid i'm making your next appearance.

Can't wait for the albums, shits gonna on like donkey kong.

[fccctorres]

oh my god! devin, how long is this going to take??? we are all getting impatient here!!

[HenBanKeN]

Fantastic! Keep on working man, I can't wait! Greetings from Chile, I hope there's a chance to come here ... someday!

[acledmaiden]

I wonder how much it cost to book the prague symphony orchestra. My guess is a fuckload.

[Painscrape]

@acledmaiden

I'd have chosen the cheap way, using "Miroslav Philharmonik", hehe...

[MusicHero3738]

@acledmaiden In the "Contain Us" Boxset, during the album commentary for this album, he talks about spending the entire budget for the album on the choir and orchestra, which is about $25K if I remember correctly. So yeah, approximately a fuckload.

[lexagon]

I'm getting a very strong Ziltoid-vibe from this, I wonder if Decon = Z2...

[lasoogneypubes]

@lexagon It doesn't. Devin is just a silly guy. 

[ShortSonata94]

I love how 'yup' is a high rated comment just 'cause it was made by Devin. :D

[sorrystateout]

i thought that was devin at first hahaa

[qarionswatching]

geez, i'm going to see this stuff live, already got the tickets =D

through his mighty mac i suppose

[Zappacho]

One orchestra,

one cheeseburger,

TWO Devins !

Greetings from Germany ^_-

[Geddylee2000]

Looking forward to buying a copy of both records, plus the new Ziltoid album later on :) I know it's early to ask, but will the new Ziltoid record have ochestral parts like Deconstruction will?

[douggrz]

im making a cheeseburger for supper because of this.

[noobpota2]

this is actually fucking genius devin!

[AmrddH]

lmao cheeseburger. this is gonna fucking ROCK!

[pollywobbel]

Im hungry now!!

[SashaTheBrit]

just when i think you can't get any more epic, you do shit like this.

[andjustinforall]

a choir singing burger ingredients. this is gunna be classic... i know its going to make sense in some twisted way, it always does with the dev.

[kalorette]

THIS SUCKS!

[Thatwasnotme]

I like how in the singing part, the conductor is waving her hands and no one is looking :D

[Zeror90]

Sweeet

[exchangescompany]

Nice studio! Love it

[caussescevennes]

NO GAS SHALE IN CEVENNES!

[caussescevennes]

GAZ DE SCHISTE ? SURTOUT PAS !

Des permis de prospection en vue de l'extraction du gaz de schiste ont été octroyés à des multinationales dans plusieurs régions de France dont les Cévennes. Discrètement, en 2010, par le ministre de l'Environnement. Les couches de schiste enferment ce gaz hermétiquement dans le sous-sol. . . .

[caussescevennes]

. . . Exploitation : forage, à travers la nappe phréatique, jusqu'à 2000 mètres ; extraction du gaz par fracturation des couches de schiste en injectant dans le forage des dizaines de milliers de m3 d'eau et des produits chimiques polluants et toxiques. Défilés continuels de camions « 35 tonnes » pour transporter le matériel, le béton, l'eau, les produits chimiques, le gaz. . . .

[caussescevennes]

. . . Tous les 300 mètres environ, vaste site de forage, avec derrick, réservoirs de gaz, bassins d'évaporation des eaux polluées. Ça fuit, ça explose parfois. Pollution majeure des eaux et de l'air - dégâts irréversibles sur la santé, avérés (Theo Colborn, endocrinologue, Gasland [Josh Fox, USA]). En savoir plus : recherche google: gazschiste.wordpress

REJOIGNEZ LES COLLECTIFS CONTRE LE GAZ DE SCHISTE !

[NightXemnas]

Hey, will Mikael Akerfeldt be on this LP? I read on your Facebook "Thanks Mikael". I also read "Thanks Tommy"... The only person I could think of was Tommy Rogers. I guess we'll have to wait and see! I am super hyped for this album now!

[Spermwhales93]

@NightXemnas Ihsahn from Emperor is on the album, I know that's confirmed.

[Atreyor]

zomg how much did you spend on renting an orchestra :O

[jg928]

what i would do to sing on a Townsend Record!

[Danjib]

I so thought it was going to be Viva la Vida after the start

[eddiekaye]

Sounds fan-fucking-tastic!

BTW, the guy at the deck at the start is your doppelganger!

[xStupaflyx]

Poltergeist is going to be amazing. That orchestra sounds so ominous. Kudos to you Dev for putting me on the edge of my seat

[djstraathof]

More! Lets see more!

[HWCWTD]

Savage! :D

[czdot]

Definitely epic. I don't hear a Czech accent in their singing, it took me a while to get rid of it! When this all is mixed together with... OH! :-)

[z0mgzt0m]

Lol 1:01 reminds me of star wars ;D

[Hexagigadeth]

"Whole beef patties, pickles, onions, on a sesame seeds bun" Hum... it seems to come from a McDonalds commercial, doesn't it?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing that album at last! By hearing those sympkonical instrumentations, I'm very curious to discover how the record will sound like!

[phantomdoodler]

Wow this is going to be immense.

[Mrpeumo]

Wow dev, you amaze me every day, can't wait till march!

[slayer515]

I thought the bald dude in the beginning was you. I didn't know you had a clone :p

[sciomancy6]

@slayer515 LOL so did I.

[dniederkorn1]

Dev is channeling his inner Andrew Loyd Weber... I LOVE IT MUCH GLORY WILL BE HAD

[dniederkorn1]

Me want deconstruction with all this wicked Andrew Loyd Weber Shit

[LicoriceLain]

What? Like this wasn't epic in and of itself? :D I can't wait to see what is coming.

[lewismofo]

dev that is quality! :D

[KEITHJECK]

Wow *_* that's why it's my favorite artist ! any date for descontruction ? I can't wait more !!

[oliverbrook]

Totally rad. Epic grumpyfaces too!

[PyroJericho666]

I like this. I like this a lot. What a great birthday gift to wake up too. :) Thanks Dev.

[Gregorius888]

Agh! Now I have that 'Cheeseburger' melody in my head, and Decon is still so many weeks away!

[HevyDev]

Oooohhh, yeah!!! No drums, no guitars, but it kicks ass))) Sounds like some cartoon about a nameless animal running to find it's magical.... um.... cheeseburger!

[meatropes]

I love you.

[ripperdowns]

when I see you in Sweden I will scream CHEESEBURGER!!! and then, cry :)

[ems81ar]

hahaha! insane!

[TheMcKnightmare]

This shit is going to be absolutely insane... I love the fact that you went the whole nine yards with recording this orchestra instead of using MIDI samples with something like Native Instruments. Must have been fairly expensive... but this sounds like it will be so worth it!

DECONSTRUCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[Macarga]

@poopynuggeteer is Deconstruction going to be released in 5.1?

[munkaaaa]

vast numbers of bald men working on this piece of music. i'm impressed. actually, Devin is one vast number of bald man himself

[molfie]

:D

[bikeb]

wow great, way to tease us! I am trying to imagine how this will sound in a mix of heavy guitars and killer drums. o_O

[TheRedComa]

Wow Dev when you said Orchestra I thought.... FL Studio with plug-ins... I'm such a silly human. Mannn when all these pieces come together it's gonna be one big mass of convoluted symphonic splendor, my ears are moist with anticipation!

[FluffRecordings]

Fucking CANT WAIT!!

[Nightschism]

The looks on their faces there at the end were epic! 'What... goes in this dude's mind...?'

[Wabaanimkii]

I'm wondering how someone could NOT laugh when singing "Cheeseburger".

Must have no humor, or they all got their shits and giggles out beforehand.

[geoffbarone603]

Beyond epic!!!

[Vixxus]

Fuuuck I want this NOW! Also looking forward to that epic vid.

So, Dev, random question; I'm coming to your show in Gothenburg, Sweden in March. If I would wear a SYL shirt and yell for SYL songs between every DTP song, would you love me or hate me?

[helloimbrandon]

Awesome!

[Sonofanoob]

I wonder what is Devy's influences when it comes to composing.

[roseman5285]

@Sonofanoob apparently fast food

[TMF58]

I am definitely buying this album, and Ghost. No doubt about it.

I'm actually going to pay for them.

[EskilNaige]

@TMF58 Wow... When did it become a compliment to simply not steal an artist's music?

[TMF58]

@EskilNaige Welcome to the internet

[Rusheeth]

Jizzed.

[AZN264]

I think I just jizzed in my pants. Must Change underwear.....

[Miolinkko]

I expect a A&W cheeseburger coupon along with this album when it comes out. If not i'm disappointed.

[XMetalTube]

Ha I thought it was devin at the control board at first.

[mrdevecseri]

He looks so nervous/tired watching the orchestra play his music

[lahbl]

Now gentlemen, a great deal of cheese has been invested in this burger, we can't allow it to fail.

[Rusheeth]

@lahbl OH. MY. SESAME. SEED. BUN.

[Renkaru]

Cheeseburgers rule my life

[DarkAndTriumphant]

Nom Nom Nom, COFFEE with that Cheeseburger. Ziltoid must be impressed.

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

JIIIZZZZZZ

[stratman687]

Devin Townsend, you are an inspiration!

[quasarwaves]

dev can you explain how you go about writing the orchestral parts for this? do you use VSTi's like East West Quantum Leap libraries or just sketch it out with standard keyboard patches? i'm curious because it's something i'm starting to incorperate into my own music.

[DamnEdge]

words cannot describe the fathom of awesome this is

[quasarwaves]

this is great. i'm stoked to hear this in context!

[loganelvald]

I love you, Marry me?

[danetucker]

I don't want fries with this because the cheeseburger is already too epic.

[JoshTheBassist]

Hell yes... It's my dream as well to write an amazingly BIG album with a full on orchestra backing it.  Atleast SOMEBODY will do it. =D

[lesscroft]

I wonder what all these musicians will think of the finished product? They better realise how awesome it is!

[Squattingtiger9]

0:00-0:10 Dev's long lost twin.....on a sesame seed buuuuUUuuun

[aligatorsandwitch72]

When all the sesame seeds go away your gonna have to change the lyrics to. All beef patties, pickles onions on a.. bun

[AmpluexCompressa]

So excited. It's been forever since we've gotten a new Deconstrupdate.

[mustainepWnsyouall]

BRING ON THE CHEESEBURGER!

[metallicaj123]

cant friggin wait!

[Khetti]

I was already looking forward to this album more than any other music release this year and I find out that it has orchestral and choir parts too? I fully expect my face to be melted.

[NOWYOURGONNABURNHOE]

W.......T.........F

[shippinsteeldeluxe]

finally, I always wanted to see that!!

[LateralisArt]

holy hell in a bottlecap, now I can wait even LESS to hearing these albums! :O

And dude, that orchestra recording must have cost a small fortune!

[superjubs]

nice work?

did you compose all the orchestral parts yourself?

[poopynuggeteer]

@superjubs yup.

[lasoogneypubes]

@poopynuggeteer I'm going to steal your DNA and clone you and make your clones my slave minstrels.

[lasoogneypubes]

@poopynuggeteer Hey Devin, is Deconstruction still coming out in March? Can you give us an update on the release? We're all dying to know when we can get our hands on this :)

[garrettbymers]

@lasoogneypubes Speak for yourself

[lasoogneypubes]

@garrettbymers What's your problem? You don't want to know when it comes out?

[Ecko486]

@poopynuggeteer out of interest, was notating all the orchestral scores left up to you as well? seems like a hell of a job! O.o

[Andragon90]

Devy you fucking maestro! Only Devy can get those bunch of people to sing about a fucking cheeseburger like this. Only Devy.

[wosko]

Sounds like a doozie don't lose your head Devy we all love you very much <3

[x13xautumnsx]

I freaking love this album already. :D

[gitrplaya4u]

ok did anyone else think dev was at the console at first?

[StevieCybernetik010]

Devin's music is so epic, he can be in two places at the same time, defying all the laws of reality.

[LessthanJake14]

I love how, as soon as the orchestra starts, everyone gets the >:( metal face.

[bleifingerT]

are you in prague right now? you should come visit me in germany :D

must be great to work with so many musicians and hearing and seeing the music you've written being played and recorded by them. And then, when it all comes together. woah! i wanna hear this album :>

[MrSourIce]

How many songs are going to have orchestral parts :O

[Pyrocy]

I just died laughing where they start singing about the ingredients and condiments.

[chasezas]

i can't wait to hear ihsahns vocals!

[ClaptonandSlash]

Whole beef patties! Pickles, Onions on a sesame-seed bun!

[BlindFaith418]

sweet can't wait to hear this stuff!

[theemperorofdarkness]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[MauteMoth]

I'm hungry now.

[CakeDestroyer]

This sounds like something that would be on Lumpy Gravy.

[Rexonius]

Besides my strange hearing, I'm looking forward to the end-results, I do wish I could compliment you in many other aspects as if I were a professor in Orchestral composition and musical virtue, alas I'm none of those. I'm much amazed and I think it's very cool to see you here on youtube, even uploading stuff here for mortals to watch and enjoy - goddamn you fucking rock

[Rexonius]

I keep hearing something at around 00:53-00:54, is it supposed to sound like that or was it composed with strangely synchronising violins?

[Pitacle2009]

Tabarnak !

[Fizzwut]

This has epic written all over it

[metalli55]

I never thought I'd say this, but PLEASE sell out this album. I want to hear this on every McDonalds commercial for the next 2 years.

[THX256]

THIS. IS. GONNA. BE. EPIC!

Devin you should try scoring film sometime.....

[stoutmeister91]

From what I gathered from this video, it sounds like we're in for a big treat. Please release a single from the album soon, I need some Deconstruction epicness \m/\m/

[DissonanceEngineer]

Can't wait, sounds brilliant as always!

[bluprint79]

Will Deconstruction be able to surpass the infinite amount of heaviness Alien had?

[thir13teen]

oh Devin....you silly, silly man.

this shall be EPIC

[JamesGod08]

I hope you got up infront of the orchestra at least once as maestro and waved the baton around like a madman

[Metalaseylypse]

Devin's mission in life is to spread the same joy and humor he finds in it.

[pirez1986]

OMG man, I cannot freaking wait to get this album and blast it!

[DinosaurJr8]

Best thing I've ever seen. Devin, I'm taking you out for a cheeseburger.

[v0scayt]

This album is possibly going to be the most bloody fantastic music to ever grace my ears. I am excited!!

[Niallphillips]

:O

[min7b20billion]

This is like a new supernatural dimension of Jimmy Buffett's Cheeseburger In Paradise.

I dare anyone here to listen to that song. Be warned, it will not leave your head

[Glad1kun]

All beef patties, pickles onions on a sesame seed bun...

WHAT ABOUT CHEEEESE?

Or cheesy lyrics are enough?

[deadpisser88]

I don't know about everyone else, but I want a fucking cheeseburger right about now.

[poopynuggeteer]

Hey all... I paid for this myself for the most part, No special treatment on this end. And yes, this song is about a cheeseburger, but the record is absurdly heavy, and not really that funny. :) Talk soon!

[ArthurFWTaylor]

@poopynuggeteer Can't wait.

[lasoogneypubes]

@poopynuggeteer Swoot! I thought that you weren't gonna use a symphony but you did!

[Sandullos]

@poopynuggeteer God Devin, I am so excited for your new stuff! :D Keep it awesome! ;)
