Fantastic parody of all "devilish" music and images.

[HurricaneXR]

[Neroese1]

[Twoboredmen]

2:14 devin is the best dancer ever!

[Twoboredmen]

his mustache just makes the whole outfit

[ozupolo]

You are a genious, mister Devin

[Malaikat31]

Oh Devin you beautiful motherfucker.

[obviouslypepsi]

Devin played this on the 5th at Damnation. Everyone shit bricks. Many of us had Ziltoid puppets. Who also shit bricks.

I guess what I am trying to say is that by the end of the night, we were closer to the ceiling than the ground.

[UberPieThief]

Only Devin Townsend could look less weird than normal wearing a devil costume.

[Xengarrith]

which album is this on?

[SadGarnixMusic]

@Xengarrith

Devin Townsend band - Synchestra

[Xengarrith]

@SadGarnixMusic Thanks for the info, man. Much appreciated.

[MetalB33rSolid]

0:00 Duke Nukem??? XD

[Orthae]

How did he get skeletons to make music!

[pmrushworth1970]

Happy Halloween!

[altonormz]

I love that they focus on the keyboardist  when he doesn't to anything

[SaturnineXTS]

@altonormz

he does all the backgrounds plus has a prominent part in the chorus.

[altonormz]

@SaturnineXTS ye but they don't focus on him at those moments 

[fsmetal]

I completely forgot about this video! So awesome! Devin is the man!

[leetos]

Perfect for Halloween. I had to tweet it.

[bootstare]

I would love to my blood drained by Vampira! She is soo hot! And those boots shes wearing are to die for!

[BubuSnow93]

[cruecollector666]

This guy rocks!

[159Slipknot]

Awesome Song, pathetic video..

[myownschadenfreude]

@159Slipknot With all due respect; you missed the point. Look Devin Townsend up. He makes great music and has a sense of humor about himself. Let's face it, rock metal etc can be kinda goofy/funny at times so have a sense of humor and have some fun with it.

[chopshark2]

@159Slipknot aww you missed the point

[nowstick]

Waste of electricity

[ratmforthewin]

FUCKING AWESOME SONG!

[nowstick]

@ratmforthewin Joking right???

[ratmforthewin]

@nowstick

no

[MasterGargos]

U know that feeling when u see the artist's face for the first time after u have been listening to him and notice that he looks completely different from what u had expected? Well not Devin, I think he is one of the few who has the voice that matches his looks :D

[macadoolahicky]

Which DT song do you like more... Depth Charge, or Away?

[thejuice2003]

Anyone have the setlist from Bloodstock. He was awesome! and I was to be a fire engine

[gingermadman]

@thejuice2003 Go on Setlist.fm and search there for it. Wasn't a bad setlist at all.

[killeroverdrive]

Who wants to be a fire engine

[SkullFace45]

Saw this live at bloodstock and it was seriously fucking awesome!

[GanjMonster]

@SkullFace45 Me too! Didn't know this song before but now I can't stop listening to it!

[davebreed1]

@SkullFace45 fucking right it was! :D

[25Valk]

@SkullFace45 It was amazing how perfectly in sync with the video on the big screen was. Flawless :D

[MetallicaSox]

Yes this was amazing live! :D

[TheSlinkyGuyShow]

He played this live! He finally played it live at Bloodstock this year, and I was there! =D

[RequiemVortex]

@TheSlinkyGuyShow

Were you the fat man in the Man O War T-Shirt? :)

[TheSlinkyGuyShow]

@RequiemVortex Ha ha! Nah I wasn't, I loved that part though, definitely the highlight of Bloodstock or should I say. . .BLOODCOCK?

[TomasuSA]

@TheSlinkyGuyShow

we did the dance too!

[jay7764]

lol. he is wearing the same costume as the kid in Problem Child.

[TheNecrocrush]

voooooooooooooooooooooooice of devin ooooowhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaa *_*

[MaceUA]

84 people can't dance like him

[jmdb1994]

@MaceUA And you're sure you can? ;-)

[MaceUA]

@jmdb1994 at least i liked this video

[TheUltim8Apocalypse]

I can't stop pressing 8 

XD

[Sekiath]

Devin Townsend is such a gag.

[RyouuichiKun15]

@MrJake0910

thank you, that was onboxious and uncreative i think you've made your point.

[Nonovik17]

weon genio!!

[maybe7347]

DEVINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­NNNNNNNNNN



[helloasswipes]

@bearblaster420 GAY

[MissWaywardKitty]

i think this song is so muc hfun to play on guitar

[UndoCreation89]

nerds from canada ftw

[Arsenrybick]

*or better 2:14

[JiriMrazek666]

This song is giving me wings, not REDBULL !!!!!

[ems81ar]

Devin is such a great musician, is a shame that he doesn't get all the recognition he deserves (yet)

...and 83 people didn't have any sence of humor

[metalmmann]

isnt this a cover song?

[Heska101]

@metalmmann no... 

[MrSerialxX]

@metalmmann A cover of the sound of genius maybe..

[StonerBawk]

83 people fell over backwards while trying to do the "Townsend cancan".

[jmdb1994]

wtf?

[Mollifier16616111]

so awesome on shrooms

[TrollopVonSheisty]

Best thing about Devin is he never takes himself seriously! A true performer and an amazing musician! Devin = god

[TheGermishGuy]

He is the archetype of "crazy, eccentric genius."

[Motosuna1982]

I wish Dev would go back to doing this kind of thing, truly brilliant!!

[MindlessGlitch]

@Motosuna1982 his new stuff is pretty much even more ridiculous XD

[humansRpepul2]

I like the part where devin does something ridiculous

[glassess2k]

never seen such deadly music mixed with a terrible vid! checkin out a live show next weekend guess we'll see if he good or not

[gereorth666]

@glassess2k First rule: Never think Devin Townsend is a serious person, unless it's about making music

[elgen757]

If you think this video is terrible you're taking this seriously. The song is not even serious except for a good jam! The music is pretty cheesy in a good way in my opinion. Glad you went to see him.

[Opethns]

When i turn 80 i will remember the dance at 1:50 and i will laugh and laugh and laugh until i die and that would be the greatest way to die.

[Arsenrybick]

@Opethns 2:15 owns 1:50. xP

[DerpeNo1]

@Opethns no you wont.

[Asche13500]

@Opethns Me too Oo

[MechWarrior894]

@Opethns The one at 2:14 would be the end of me XD

[Leopleuredon]

SOOOO GOOD.

[tegneren33]

Epic Devil Devin Dance

[BrideOfFuckinstein]

I love this man.

[Dzschelebo]

And this song is all about having fun and putting out a vocally fantastic music piece.

[JackalTheMasked]

I would like to see him work with Mike Patton!!

[Idey1994]

@JackalTheMasked

I have wanted this to happen for so long!

[VFB1210]

First impression of this band:

Leslie Hall of Heavy Metal. Not a bad thing. Just really weird.

[jgolig]

I came to see what all the hype about Devin Townsend was about. What the hell is this shit?

[Xenobiarch]

@jgolig are you just stupid or don't understand music at all? or just cynical and serious 24 hours a day?

[jgolig]

@Xenobiarch Funny you mention those things. I am in fact stupid, I don't understand music at all, cynical and serious at all times.

[Xenobiarch]

@jgolig that was a lovely reply. my respect towards you just rose 100% which weed outs the possibilities I stated before.

[Shrike616]

@jgolig your a crap person

[jgolig]

@Shrike616 Thanks. Your too.

[Arglactable]

@jgolig Hilarious. That's what it is.

[Garlyto]

@jgolig First of all, what hype are you talking of? Devin has been delivering great music since the early 90's, and suddenly he is hyped? Secondly, if you can't seperate the music from the silliness and his wacko-personality that's a shame. Thirdly, if you want the "serious" part of Devin, listen to Ki.

[jgolig]

@Garlyto I've been getting into the newly "established" djent subgenre of metal recently, and some of the artists and fans have been casting some credit and influence on him. Also, I've discovered the Devin followers can aptly be described as fanatical and a bit obsessed. And yea I realize the music video is goofy and all that, but even the song after several listens is nothing too impressive or amazing. It's just a solidly good song. Ki is very good, but so far I prefer Terria, love that album.

[Garlyto]

@jgolig I don't know shit about Djent. I hear the word all the time but it seems like the vaguest thing ever. His personality is very visible and present in his music, so his fans tend to really like the guy. He's also very open en dedicated towards his fanbase. On top of that, there's the sense of humor that you like, or not like. This all makes it very personal which tends to make fans hype him a bit. You gotta try to seperate the music from the jokes to somtimes really enjoy the music.

[jgolig]

@Garlyto Djent can be very good. But anyway, Devin's personality takes some getting use to in order to understand it. I appreciate him and what he does a lot more now that I know him and his music better. Definitely a good find. As much as I am and have been into prog music for a while now, it's surprising I'm just now coming across his stuff. It looks and sounds like he's got a reasonably sized following though. Reasonable for a progressive artist, at least.

[Garlyto]

@jgolig Haha, I'll into Djent then. And yea for a prog-metal artist he's pretty big. He even sold out some shows on his European tour. Anyway, enjoy ;D

[jgolig]

@Garlyto I'd recommend Tesseract or Stealing Axion.

[OogieZombie20]

@jgolig Shit awesome is what it is. What where you expecting?

[boredperson81]

lol @ video

[hophoopine]

the mad scientist of metal :)

[MOCacoustic]

watching this i think malmsteen has some serious 'stage presence' competition. and dev isn't even even trying trying

[tsutu50]

Excellent!!!

[Pretzels722]

2:05 drummer bashing his own head in?

[Sodhats]

I love the moustache drawn on in pen.

[haropro2]

I'm buying one of those suits... So the next concert I go to, I'm gonna wear it, and dance like Devin, in the mosh pits.

[revendell]

@haropro2 dammit i should have done that last week at his gig :(

[PiotrixPL]

2:06 LOL

[LifeUnderTheSwatter]

HE'LL SET YOUR SOUL ON FIIIIRRRRREEEE!

[Loffyswe]

2:05 (drummer): epic win

[axelstarful]

he should be METALLICA'S new singer

[Arcterion]

@axelstarful Better idea: Metallica stop making music altogether.

[Eisbrecher99]

@Arcterion

"Better idea: Metallica stop making music altogether." <3

best comment i've ever read

[pickupthePWN]

@Arcterion what music?

[Arcterion]

@pickupthePWN Hah. :)

[GoodOlDavid]

@Arcterion after making master of puppets

[TheEvilsocky]

@Arcterion Best idea ever!

[WilsonT011]

@Arcterion You don't know music, right???????? POSER!!!!!!

[Arcterion]

@WilsonT011 Yeah, yeah, go suck Hetfield's old wrinkly dick already.

[RyouuichiKun15]

@Arcterion

yeah totally metallica and megadeth suck ass!

[666MetalMatt]

@RyouuichiKun15 Metallica sucks ass indeed...megadeth does not.

[RyouuichiKun15]

@666MetalMatt

that was sarcasm. megadeth is a fucking ripoff and Metallica is eternal.

[DarkChaos451]

@RyouuichiKun15 did u know that the lead singer of Megadeth was the first lead singer for Metallica???

[RyouuichiKun15]

@DarkChaos451

and did you know that when it rains huh huh huh, people get wet?

and that's exacly the reason Megadeth is a sucky band with only two or three decent songs, It's fucking James Hetfield, i don't give a flying fuck about copyrightshit and such. but that guys vocals kick ass and that's all i fucking care

[DarkChaos451]

@RyouuichiKun15 just sayin dude, dont need to freak out

[RyouuichiKun15]

@DarkChaos451

i'm not freaking out, i'm just using curse words duh

[666MetalMatt]

@RyouuichiKun15 James Hetfield is the worst example of a metal musican.Metallica wouldnt have been what they were without Dave Mustaine.Not to mention Metallica had only like 4 or 5 good songs before they went south with the black album.Megadeth is stull putting out good music to this day.

[RyouuichiKun15]

@666MetalMatt

you're kidding right? they threw him out like a poor puppy in 1983. and Master of Puppets is the greates metal album of all time, so in your face. And unlike the Mediocre-deth lead guitarist Hetfield can SING and he does it pretty good actually, he has unique vocals and charisma. And i'm not disputing the fact that Mustaine is a great guitarist but JESUS i can't stand his voice, but it's my opinion. Let's face it both of the bands didn't release decent albums in like 15 years/

[666MetalMatt]

@RyouuichiKun15 They did throw him out but for being a drunk bastard at the time.I prefer blizzard of oz for my greatest metal album of all time.And personal prefrences,i cant stand Hetfields singing.Mustaine is a pretty good guitarist,he also write good music and the thrash genre is his baby.But yeah they havent released anything good in a long time,i did enjoy megadeths last record but thats mostly cause Chris Broderick is god.

[RyouuichiKun15]

@666MetalMatt

Ok listen dude, Hetfield's voice is just my personal preference. And i don't even follow metal bands all that much actually. if i Like some songs that doesn't mean i like every track of every single album and it just so happens to be that i can name alot more cooler Metallicas songs then Megadeths from the top of my head.

and i get it - you like Megadeth alot, ok whaever floats your boat man.

but

[glorp896]

@axelstarful don't you mean glen danzig?

[Danmacpops1977]

there doesnt always need to be a guitar solo dude....

[Danmacpops1977]
