Strapping Yound Lad @ Download Pt II

[cheremenin]

THEY'RE SEXY

LIKE JED

[cheremenin]

While camera work here is fucking amazing (0:25 is just great), the sound is not that good.

[Massoyeur]

My favorite part about these videos for this concert are the random people they zoom the camera in on in the crowd.

[iskim86]

2:12 INTENSE AIR GUITAR!!!

[bla78ck]

He's not the ugliest son of a bitch he's pretty like a virgin wanting it on a dance night.

[bakedspade]

One of the best voices in metal. His hate is fucking infectious. Long live metal.

[MrDavehef]

KABOOM!!!!!

[RaleighJason]

5:09 "Let's see some metal fists, come on babies!" Ha-ha!

[Cid89highwind]

1:48 priceless



[DerHerrMayor]

lol ne rotz glocke hey schaut mal der cooleste und beste metal god is da DEVIN is the best

[cuDDLeSH1t]

"We are metal gods!!!" got that right devy

[z0mgzt0m]

How the fuck can you sweep like that and sing at the same time, Devin is one of the most impressive musicians I have EVER come across.

[rivanda]

@z0mgzt0m yeah dude, it looks so hard...no doubt devin is one of a kind! he shred hard and sing atthe same time

[haX0r3]

I wish I could make facial expressions half as awesome as Devin's.

[lasoogneypubes]

Right before he starts to sweep Devin gets a look on his face like, "God damn it here we go..."

[Corrosive1]

Only video where Gene isn't looking like he's watching TV and eating chips. He's usually so chilled

[rayningblood666]

devin and gene need to make another band asap

[theaxelofrose]

Guy at 3:41 has a mad sunburn.

[popshotizbeast]

lol, @ 4:00 Am I the only person who almost died laughing? XD

[Gav229]

Anyone spot the part at 4:58 where he goes to spit at the camera, ends up spitting in his own hair and proceeds to not give a fuck?

[Gav229]

@Gav229 It actually stays there and stick his hair to his nose and the mic at 6:40

[Zyborggian]

3:48 Devin says "We are metal gods"

Talk about MOST TRUE STATEMENT EVER

Also two of my fucking absolute favorite SYL songs in one vid: Wrong Side and Aftermath... FUCK YEAH!!!!

[anonymouslol]

Holy crap, a creepy meth dealer and his bony finger at 1:33

[kazoorocketman54]

@anonymouslol Haha. He looks like he's scared xD

[anonymouslol]

easily one of the most diverse singers in metal ever

[megaterra69]

lol its almost to fucking chaotic! Its like...to the point where peoples minds are to blown to comprehend what they are hearing. Its fucking awesome. This guy is just...fucking awesome.

[Paulwaite11]

WTF!!! @ 3:44 ... not seen a crowd that big with a set that only lasts 40minutes

[Paulwaite11]

Some people there don't feel the Devin power :L

[necrosatanico]

Thumbs up if your're headbanging in front of you're desk!

[MrAdammassacre]

i was there and i remember it being probably one of the heaviest sounding bands ive ever seen fucking awesome! \m/

[FlamingoSnuff]

The mixing is shitty.

[MrUltralord91]

"we are metal gods"! so true.

[StevieCybernetik010]

This motherfucker is my idol. He looks like a DEMON in this. Sooooo heavy!!!!!

[sebbimon]

He didnt do the scream there, AH FUCK! Its so lovely <3

Awesome performance!

[captainkgarrow]

Wrong side and aftermath song names, Devin he is Fucking amazing !!!!

[nightsallot]

song names?

[AstraVex]

Keep pressing number 2 on your keyboard, Devin looks like he's about to explode!

[metalhead492]

Fuck, I really miss this band.

[Gonsatch]

STRAPPING YOUNG MOTHERFUCKER LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDD !!!!!!!

[AstraVex]

5:07- "Let's See Some Metal Fists!"

Now that's what I call POWER, to get a good few thousand people do that.

[YanusDV]

Strapping Young Lad was kind of a "supergroup" ...I mean, Devin has his own insane reputation, Hoglan is one of the most renowned extreme drummers, Byron was in SYL, and FF, and Jed on Zimmer´s Hole...all of them fucking insane

It was just too good man

[Edd731]

AFTERMATH.......LUSHHHHHHH!

[AstraVex]

I can barely hear Devin's Guitar or any Backing Vocals.

Who ever mixed this this woke up on the Wrong Side of the fucking Mixing Desk!

[YanusDV]

@AstraVex

yeah it´s fucking awful I mean what the fuck surely this was ultra-godly live but now because of the little effort put on recording it, we can´t fucking enjoy the Lad properly, and keep in mind we might never see them again...!!!

[AstraVex]

@YanusDV

Nah, Devin will get angry again. SYL will return. >=)

[dran219]

@AstraVex only a matter of time \m/ all hail canadians :D

[philipkeaveney777]

@AstraVex There was a lot of wind that day. I was there and it affected all the bands....

[zajac1661]

@AstraVex the sound recording for the video is bad yes. But the concert had a better sound. I was there

[noed28]

@AstraVex , hahhaha, man that cracked me up.

[DazzyCraggus]

@AstraVex tak the fucking corn beef oot yer lugs

[Corrosive1]

@AstraVex LMAO, well said

[wereeverimayroam]

fuck these guys insane hes such a good performer i had never heard of them before going on this vid but jessuuss gooood band (Y)

[brian730151022]

The Lad slaying the U.K....'Nuff said!

[Guitarded270]

[lahbl]

Sweeping + singing.

The amazingness.

[marcschulz88]

[Oisselapathos]

3:47 Yes you are! Indeed!

[LessthanJake14]

6:41 DAMN that's a snot bomb.

[Obsoliit]

too bad they didn't get a better mix... Devins guitar is too quiet, and Jeds mic is barely audible

[Philolog1]

Awsome! ... genious!

[vodkins75]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!

[tanakarf]

wish i could sweep and sing at the same time

[jfacslipdeth]

6:36 snotsville!!!!

[ConantheBarbarian90]

devin townsend has to be the ugliest son of a bitch on the planet but man is he a freaking musical genius

[k5lta]

@ConantheBarbarian90 You must forgot what he said on the last video "IM SEXIER THAN ALL OF YOU BITCHEZ!!!!" is what he said. :D

[squidbilly32]

[AlxMiNeR]

[dennytothez]

[slayterise]

[Samm3x]

4:58 There's the solution to the mistery of where the spit in his hair came from.

Nice metul face.

[galatonim]

6:39 ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha­hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah­ahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahah­hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah­ahahhaahhahahahahahahhahahahah­ahahahahahahaha

[ryder1879]

[ryder1879]

think byron made a good choice going to fear factory.

[PathologistReport]

6:41 a fat booger hahaha

[LongLiveThrash]

@PathologistReport haha, its actually spit that got caught up in his hair and blew on to his face.

[clubfootforyou]

Way to go camera guy, totally fucking up by not showing Dev's hands during the "Opera" singing parts.

[ecaepevolhturt]

1.34 - it's Satan enjoying SYL.

[demigod325]

If I ever go bald i'm getting dreads

[fwahstatus]

[rjs62]

[VikingTrent12]

SYL!!!SYL!!!SYL!!!SYL!!!SYL!!!­SYL!!! dev is hilarious if u dont get it then u just have a different sense of humor. i rlly wish they would get back together they are so fucking brutal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GrindTheOxKing]

@VikingTrent12

Thank the Dark Lord for Devlab and The Hummer and The DTB and The DTP. Addicted is sikk.

[FBDPainkiller]

3:51 "We are metal gods!"

A-fucking-men \m/

[samueldusade]

Strapping YounGGGGGGGG Lad

[auraldemolition]

Was an excellent gig, but the mix was fucking terrible. Could barely hear the guitars.

[chopshark2]

devs hilarious!

[ozena52]

I was lucky enough to be there for this. One of the best shows I've ever seen. So glad I got to see SYL before they broke up.

[redweedable]

Great music but Devin's attempts at humour are cringeworthy, pathetic and detract from the overall performance, and are actually making me to hate him as a human being

[ska2808]

@redweedable Strapping Young Lad is a very humorous band - if you hadn't noticed that in the music (or even the band's name!) then you're clearly coming at it from the wrong angle.

[redweedable]

@ska2808 Mate I'm an extremely humorous person myself, and I love humour in music-I'm a huge fan of Bloodhound Gang, MSI and Nine Inch Nails. But there's a difference between being funny and being stupid, and Devin's about a mile on the wrong side of it. He's not funny, just irritating. Wish he'd just shut the fuck up and play his awesome songs without the running commentary

[samisagod666]

@redweedable you fail at fun.

[redweedable]

@samisagod666 Nah fraid not son, I've got a sense of humour, it's just that this shit ain't funny. At all. I laugh at stuff that IS funny. You see where I'm coming from?

[ungface]

@redweedable >implying your opinion is everyones opinion.

enjoy having no friends. dont come back and try to justify yourself.

you lost.

simple.

[ArtOfPhire]

@ungface Did you just try to Chan quote someone on a Youtube comment? You lost, sir.

[IHATENIGGERSKKK4EVA]

@redweedable The thing is, you've proven yourself a complete idiot by confessing you are a huge fan of Bloodhound Gang. This shows your sense of humour is that of a stereotypical "American frat boy". You must be a fucking deep person..

The funny thing about Bloodhound Gang is, tool's like yourself listen to them. Now THAT is fucking real comedy!

[ozena52]

@redweedable

If you don't find Devin remotely funny, you're severely depressed. Get help.

[dran219]

Devin is my idol :D

[KongoXIIV]

Hooked on all his music...Always been a SYL fan but I guess I'm truly a Devy fan cause I cant get enough of Ki lately.

[impavitus]

probably one of the best drummers in the genre

[mariahkoko]

Yeah.... Aftermath is godlike

[Piroant69]

@impavitus he also drums for deathmetal , thrash metal , ... well he does everything.. DETHKLOK :D SYL <3

[leamog]

i met devin today. really nice guy.

[danielexplosion]

@gaunten Ziltoid musical? WHAT?!?

[Christianholt911]

NO SHIT! He actually managed to pull of the Sweep picking and chorus singing!! :O Respect!

[gaunten]

I saw them at hultsfred, sweden, back in 2006, front row center, I guess I was about 2 meters from devin, and I had barely heard anything from syl, and then they play this. perfectly. it was a life changing moment

[Christianholt911]

Too bad they split :( Well.. Devin is still making tremendous music :DD

[gaunten]

indeed he is, and he is even better live now that he's sober and stuff :)

I really wanna go to Finland to see the complete Ziltoid Musical this summer. it will be most epic!

[zero252525]

at 1:38 and the other part later,gene's ride crash and hihat bell hits are fucking SICK.

[RandomJackOfDoom]

"We are metal gods!" That says it all, really.

[sybow]

Devin must be the most original and unique person on the world. Never seen someone with the same combination of fun and music. Combining the funniest jokes with the most intense metal. Love SYL forever =]

[YanusDV]

"NO FUCKING PEACE FOR YOU!!"

EPIC!

[frazerdaman]

6:13 dev looks crazy!

[fepede]

@frazerdaman wtf! devin IS crazy :D

[oAPXo]

Being Bi-Polar has some advantages from being normal. :D

[FormerlyMrBean667]

@oAPXo Haha that's so true. You've got an excuse if you are fucking crazy.

[oAPXo]

Well, he really is, so it makes it 10x better!

[FormerlyMrBean667]

@oAPXo I've been there man, if you're bipolar, you can do anything!

[Falconis1]

Doesn't he always look crazy?

[itowedin]

Devin Townsend fans just understand metal on a much more musical level. I think we could collectively straighten some shit out.

[JoelsTunes]

You are so fucking correct man.

[mustasparta]

@itowedin I could not agree with you more

[Gusdor]

@itowedin More musical than what? In my experience, SYL fans are generally pretty far up themselves as well.

[itowedin]

@Gusdor More musical than fans of music that are more scene oriented. I was trying to purvey a positive feeling amongst those who enjoy the man and his music. If you're looking for a confrontation however, I'll be glad to oblige.

[Geddylee2000]

I love the song, but damn the sound quality sucks ass. The whole show that day was very cheaply recorded

[mkklmann]

Yeah, but Devin has stated that his attitude that day was like "you morons, why the fuck are you clapping?". Yep, the verbal insults were heartfelt on some level, but ain't that the spirit of true metal?

[superskum]

These guys will be missed.

[Sydanyo]

Honestly, with Devin, he could change his mind tomorrow for all we know.

[AltonDowns]

Fuckin' Epic! Epic fail from Dev with the spit during the start of Aftermath. Epic win for Dev for playin' the rest of the song with the spit in his hair ha ha ha. Love it!

[Steve128967]

how the fuck do you sing while sweeping?

[RockaRolla74]

Dude I've wondered this for a looong time haha Even Dev was struggling just a little bit but it's understandable.

[DoctorVic]

Fuck I love SYL! Wish I got to see them fuckers live!

I dont think any band gets me more fucking pumped.

[AlxMiNeR]

hahahah at least hes not crazy anymore but he seems to be when he smile hahah .. i like him what an original guy

[togjuice]

I never knew that Terry Nutkins was the lead singer of a rock group. Don't give up the day job, Terry

[mkbyrne]

wtf its not Terry Nutkins its Devin Townsend

[MrKorton]

Epic indeed!

p.s. YounD? :/

[AltonDowns]

Thanks for putting these up dude. It's fucking epic! :)

[letthechaosreign]

this the only time i have been able to see strapping live, and this performance right here is the best live show i have ever been to, i have seen everyone from testament to slayer, metallica, only saw them at download fest 06, log, machine head, dimmu, terror, all kind of harcore/metal/black/thrash/dea­th every kind of band, and out of all of the shitload of shows i have been to, this is the best live show ever!!! this sticks in my mind, too good, just wish they were back together touring

[Chloilas]

@letthechaosreign This show was absolutely epic.. but to say they were better than Metallica.. no way! I've been to loads of gigs and quite a few festivals and Metallica definitely gave the best performance, even for someone who doesn't usually listen to them

[mushrmhd6661]

@Chloilas i dont mean to disrespect your opinion or anything but metallica sucks compared to SYL... nothing personal

[Swanton619OfDX]

@mushrmhd6661 It's not comparable. The first band are musicians, the second one are artists.

[FlorianAtze]

@mushrmhd6661 both awesome bands... though they are not sharing the same genre.. v.v

[Necrocide187]

@letthechaosreign Not to mention the special qualities about SYL are their canadian,they have a legendary drummer (MEAN GENE HOGLAN),they have a very comical,satirical frontman who really knows how to compose both equally super extreme metal music & super hard melodic material (Devin Townsend)

[mustasparta]

@letthechaosreign the biggest reason, in my opinion, is Devin could command the shit out of a crowd. It was infectious and absolutely astounding to see

[philipkeaveney777]

@letthechaosreign I was there myself. Amazing. devin was comical genius. There comes our merchandise. Buy some for your significant other and ugly siblings. Ha Ha.

[Zickmund]

lol, byron looks like a giant hamster x)

[mushrmhd6661]

whats the matter cant handle the truth? Im not putting down Syl....idiots

[Kegrath]

"Man, the 15 year-old in me is creaming in his fucking jeans!" Amen Dev. Amen.

[SirPricelot]

7:00 - 7:10 clearly the best melody vocally.

[palmarjp]

Is it odd that he reminds me of a heavy metal mix of Bill Bailey and Jeremy Clarkson?

[longlivepantera]

Lmao i know exactly what you mean.

Dev is a legend, the only guy who can sing & sweep pick like a god all at once.

[FenderUsa]

jeremy clarkson wtf

[cavasnel]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What have you done to me? Now I can't help seeing Clarkson's stupid face everytime Devin looks focused. :P

[palmarjp]

Apologies, but you know it's true. Haha

[jvd747]

the guy at 1:32 looks like he wants to call his mommy... LOL!

[karlpx34xx]

the more brutal metal band of the fucking world

[ancientdreammodern]

Wrongside is one of their greatest. And intro (~0:19-0:25) in this recording is just pure electricity.

[noobpota2]

Hahaha Townsends such a fucking nutter

[metalhead492]

That sweeping whilst singing is pretty damn cool.

[ahutt59]

I love the surprised look on Devin's face when he plays the solo, he's too damn awesome

[Chucktallica101]

5:11 is fucking awesome! PURE!

[aggbala]

maybe explain?

[GarthGreen13]

toilet paper rainbow at 6:54 hahah

[commonpleases]

mmm yes his nipples are hard with joy, indeed

[aggbala]

LOL at 3.40 -look at the tired air guitar player with

the naked torso

[disturbedjase]

hahahah that had me fallin off my seat man ..funny as fook

[disturbedjase]

@aggbala hahaaahahahaaaaa funny !!!!

[schwarg]

1:07 the only man in the world who can sing and sweep pick a guitar solo at the same time :D

[bigtdawg69]

his metal face is the most metal thing in the world...

[Grizzly696]

OMG! I can see myself at 7:47-7:50 flipping off the camera and then doing the \m/ sign!

My few seconds of fame! SYL are awesome!

[mheatwole18]

right on!!!!

[commonpleases]

even metal gods shouldn't self-proclaim themselves metal gods XD

though i guess they deserve that title..wish they'd get back together =(

[magister39]

Check out Zimmers Hole, it's a new Jed's and Gene's band. A bit similar to SYL.

[metallicamike]

I still can't get over how he sweeps and sings at the same time... devy = god.

[SirPricelot]

Me and a mate have had many debates of how he manages to achieve it haha.

One question i'd ask him if I met him

.|..|
