[tractor666]

HEY C'MON ,HEY C'MON , HEY C'MON ,HEY C'MON FUK YEAHHHHHHHHH

[Piazzo20]

Any1 knows if theres a Almost again Live video?... cant find :<

[narofrosto]

@Piazzo20 why can't i find any live footage of ANY of the songs aside from like 5?

[jasondesante]

this is one of my favorite metal anthems of all time. 100% sing-along-able, if that makes any sense.

[emurami]

LMFAO..whose that faggot that dislikes SYL wtf....

[XioC652]

Lmao.. one faggot thinks syl sucks.

[Wacke666]

1 person pissed off his mom listening to this, so he had to dislike. We feel for ya, you know :(

[ebonfortress]

love the drummer relaxed look while he's making those blaster beats

[bfish420]

Id give up my Metallica concert experience if it meant trading it in for an SYL concert. Just sayin

[mario64PKmetalhead]

Epic band, epic song, Devin is a god and his live vocals sound fine to me :)

[Adirtybird]

Can guarantee Gene dose Not use Bass triggers. Had the privilege to gig on the same bill as SYL and was there for 2 nites to see the kit, set up and during gig.....No Bass Triggers... remember this man has been doing this for over 25 years and has very muscular ???? Legs...

[Siggedrummer]

@Adirtybird Weird he have said himself MANY times that he uses triggers live AND in the studio in numerous interviews ??.. What band did you gig with , with SYL ?.. I would like to look it up

[Adirtybird]

@Siggedrummer Oct 30 Metro in Sydney, and 1 nov HiFi bar in Melb..

[Siggedrummer]

@Adirtybird Still need the band name ??????.. But please in the future, don't try to fill us with lies when Gene himself says that he has always used triggers. There's nothing wrong with triggers.

[etsat1]

does gene handle the pedaling all by himself or does he use some kind of extra gear?

[ThatBrentGuy13]

@etsat1 Nope, that's all him.



[simpson176756]

@etsat1  He is using bass triggers.

[Elluen]

Try to sing like that. Just try before commenting on his voice.

[dragondevel5]

PLAY THAT STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!!

[bloodyrockfire]

Devin's voice may not sound as powerful as in the studio but you can't say he's tone-deaf

[megaterra69]

@bloodyrockfire Yeah, he's actually right on, I don't like high pitched singing, but this fucker nails that shit. His voice is fucking powerful as fuck. The fact that he plays like a crackhead AND sings like that...awesome lol Fuck the haters, they don't matter anyway.

[MetallicOpeth]

oh man I miss these guys so much

[Corrosive1]

I just realised that Jed looks like Jesus Christ , lol

[KarateMastR57]

@Corrosive1 Jedus Christ lol

[Corrosive1]

@KarateMastR57 HAH, you got it man

[squidbilly32]

as much as i love fear factory and the devin townsend project byron and gene need to be where they really belong. along side devin. for gene to be a fat guy i think hes one of the best drummers ive heard and thats putting him aside adler and jordison

[ProtestinDminor]

@squidbilly32 It's pretty insulting to compare Hoglan to someone like Joey Jordison too. Not trying to pick a fight, just sayin'!

[MrMcConnon]

@squidbilly32 I'm sorry but, Derek Roddy and Mike Portnoy put both Chris Adler and Joey Jordison to shame, don't get me wrong, I love LOG and Slipknot and both drummers are awesome but Derek Roddy and Mike Portnoy are easily two of the greatest drummers of all time.

[Alhambrattp]

come back home devin!

[guitarristaheavy616]

break-string!

[skyskraper31]

Whoa. Was that a Pestilence shirt I just saw?!? Tiiiiiiiiiiiight. Consuming Impulse is a sick fucking album \ m /

[HolyDiver1]

Holy shit! I think I'm pregnant!

[dran219]

i love being canadian! \m/

[FelipeMontez]

EU AMO ESSA BANDA!!!e Devin TOwnsend é um gênio!

[VIKTORKING31]

fuckin great vocal

[loco6607]

The Atomic clock..Shit hot drummer..

[lasoogneypubes]

Yeah Alexi Laiho is Devin's bitch when it comes to guitar playing and singing. I do agree with anyone that says that his vocals live are kinda lacking... But I think it's because of how much weed he used to smoke at the time of SYL. If you watch his new performances (after he's cleaned up) you can see a big difference in his vocals. He's spot on.

[satanpie666]

Yeah he seems amazing at some live performances, and shit at others. Then again hes balancing those screams with singing, that wears your vocal cords out any day.

[imnobody696]

@lasoogneypubes YEAH as i said in the "wrong side" video, devin can send alexi laiho to bed without dinner anytime he wants to

[chopshark2]

@lasoogneypubes not really, technicaly at guitar alexi can shred better and knows alot more theory than devin, but devin has the best vocals in all of metal, and hes by no means a bad guitar player, but their completely stylisticly different in that case

[chopshark2]

@lasoogneypubes so you think Children of Bodom is pop music.......

[lasoogneypubes]

@chopshark2

Lol no way Devin is way better at shredding than Alexi, and how do you know who knows more scales anyway? Does that necessarily make you a better guitarist?

[chopshark2]

@lasoogneypubes i know devins idmited to not knowing much theory and that alexi has taken classical lessons for not only guitar but violin when he was young.

knowing theory doesnt exacly make you a better guitarist, but it does make you a better musician. and do you EVER hear a devin solo in his music except the few exceptions i know about. yea iv seen his videos and hes really damn amazing at guitar. but alexis better

[lasoogneypubes]

@chopshark2

Well we can argue about this forever, but Devin is without a question more creative then Alexi in writing. That's what really counts anyway.

[LessthanJake14]

@chopshark2 Alexi = WANK-WANK-WANK-WANK-WANK-WANK.

Devin is PURELY expressive. Alexi has never used his prowess to truly speak through his music; plus he's not that established musically either (eg, basic 4/4 ALWAYS).

That to me, says more than technique.

[chopshark2]

@LessthanJake14 how does playing odd time signitures equal good musicianship?

and alot of there music isnt in 4/4, another of his favorites is 7/8's

what you dont realize is that hes executing it in a way that you dont even realize it, like devin does.

and its funny cause alot of what devin does is WANK WANK WANK WANK

and i love it

[LessthanJake14]

@chopshark2 It doesn't, but it has REALLY basic phases.

Devin at least tries to mix it up with every album (see Ocean Machine Biomech to Infinity to Terria to Devlab to Ziltoid to Ki to Addicted).

How can you say Devin does a lot of wank when he despises shredding?

[chopshark2]

@LessthanJake14 who said he despises shredding? all he talks about is how he wishes he could shred better

lol

maybe you should read alittle more

[LessthanJake14]

@chopshark2 "YEAAAAHH, FUCKIN' WANKY WANK WANK. So basically, the whole thing behind this wank bullshit is that everyone spends their entire teen years learning this CRAP. I'm sitting here doing the same type of shit I was doing as a dungeon master in grade fucking twelve and you guys are all going 'ohhh yeah cool everyone's doing this! Ohhh is he going to start tapping, oooh!' And as you're sweeping you ask what sort of void you're filling and the answer is fucking nothing". Don't patronise me.

[headsmess]

@LessthanJake14 exactly. devin breaks himself expressing himself. technique? pffft. its the attitude. he doesnt need technique. he loves what he does, he does it well, and anyone that doesnt appreciate it should go back to barry manilow

[LessthanJake14]

@headsmess Even so, he's still proficient at guitar.

[headshop]

@lasoogneypubes If you really want to compare the color of an orange to an apple---then you need to grow up, and recognize the difference between the two. I know all baby food tastes the same when you are a child, but one day you will learn not to compare them.

Go back to your "wheel-house", you're safer there.

You fucking retard---dont you EVER insult Devin Townsend. He owns your mom.

[lasoogneypubes]

@headshop .....what? I never insulted Devin Townsend in any of my comments. I was talking to a guy about who's better, Townsend or Laiho. If you're referring to that, then yeah I agree they are very different styles of guitarists. I was saying Townsend is way more creative than Laiho is, but not necessarily better at guitar than him. The only thing I said that was remotely insulting about Devin was that his vocals weren't so great live in his SYL days.

[headshop]

@lasoogneypubes Sorry dude...that reply was not intended for you. And it appears the original post is gone. The architect of the post suggested Dev was a hack, because he doesn't play like Lexie Laiho. Guess that wasnt you.

[Wizarrdd]

Somewhere at starting @ 3:00 an entire city was destroyed by the epic sounds of Hevy Devy.

[mentallarry]

SYL is your master.

[imagestic]

wicked sick !!!

[00WhereEvilDwells]

LONG LIVE THE SKULLET!!!!!

[jamesreadhunter]

not normally a metal fan, but this song is the tits. Consider me blown away.

[GODCORRUPTED]

what an asshole sucker..SYL sucks???

the only thing sucking is your fucking mother...pendejo de mierda... in english asshole of shit

[catburner]

devin is god ! you try screaming your guts out and play guitar @ the same time , then ask yourself "am i getting old ? " and obviously the "studio sound quality " is going sound better , its in a controlled enviorement where as live anything goes .

[kirlianphotography]

vocals not as good as on studio album, is he getting old ? ;-)

[Marlfox555]

@kirlianphotography

the album version of any given SYL Song has 20+ vocal tracks

[goldo28]

@rhcpandsum41 you know asulutely nothing about live show and about music

[rhcpandsum41]

no offense but devin sucks live...

[ShowNoMercy502]

His vocals aren't always running at 100% their power, but sucks live? I've got to disagree. I would harvest my organs and body parts on the black market just to fucking see this guy live.

[guy158]

@ShowNoMercy502

i agree on both points, this Kai bullshit is pissing me off

[sybow]

How is that no offense? You say devin sucks live is the same as you say all fans of SYL suck.. it IS offense.. wether u say its not or not

[XmegallicaX]

With a name that mentions the Chili Peppers and Sum 41, your opinion is not taken into account.

[iDura89]

@rhcpandsum41 Every god damn band in the world sucks at times, at this show he had lil bit shaky clean voice. hes voice are much much better these days!

[DissYraiN]

fuck, what is more amazing about gene is that he can still get around the kit that fast. I wanna study that from a physics perspective. how much energy it takes to move that much mass at that type of acceleration.

[mkklmann]

Detox - as a means of clearing your body of harmful toxins. Devin is the master of wellness!

[TheHappyFaceBoxMan]

Looks like Devin broke his G string while fingering a minor.

[mkklmann]

Ha! What a sick joke!? Fingering a minor..? Get the fuck out of here you prick!! :D

[TheHappyFaceBoxMan]

Greatest guitar joke ever.

[rsman169]

Why? Underage sex is the best man, tight pussy ftw?

[d3fct]

@TheHappyFaceBoxMan thats what she said....

[Geddylee2000]

It's fast, but nothing too challenging to learn, other then drums maybe, and the guitar sweeping on their song Wrongside. Devin is a songwriting genius

[mushrmhd6661]

love this shit! druming is awesome but its not impossible, I could Never play it but Raymond Herrara could...

[dran219]

@mushrmhd6661 dude gene is a drumming god

[Geddylee2000]

@mushrmhd6661 lol it's all in drop d and its easy bro. Keep practicing :)

[compagnolupo]

Hoglan is an animal

[fittslemm]

That's some fucking sick drumming man.

[leetos]

[AltonDowns]

[myplague11]

[greaxuu]

I love those bass drum sounds!

[demoniov]

IMO the bass is way too loud

the guitars lose all the insanity they have in the album

[goldo28]

wow!!  that freakin hot riff at 3:00

pure genius!!

[malteadotas4]

Everything is awesome but man, look at Gene!!!

[mkbyrne]

[TheLobotomist]

Song gives me chills!

[JonasHaterTillDeath]

GREATEST CANADIAN BAND OF ALL TIME

[MilitantOldLady]

[MAG00GLER]

[MaaskeTsukikage]

@JonasHaterTillDeath

[ShowNoMercy502]

[19drivenbyblood86]

@JonasHaterTillDeath How bout just one of the greatest bands of all time

[Gothicmess08]

IIIIIIIIIIII GOT AAAAAA FEEEEEEEEEEELIIIIIING.......

WOW what a fucking tuuuuuuuuuuuune!!!!!

Devin sir I salute you!!!!!!!!!!!

[sirloin1358]

If I could see only three more bands live, it would be Strapping, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Tool.

[factory]

the double base sounds amazing.

[jualolox]

SYL!!!

[mudvaynerulz101]

this is the most brutal song ever to be played live

[adrianvdb]

Devin broke the high G string :o

[logan2099]

Vc´s falam do Devin, mais esqueceram de Genne Hoglan é o melhor baterista do mundo, nao desmerecendo os outros e o Syl é uma puta banda fodastica...

Hail Syl

[Kirin1349]

did devin have a cold or something at this gig cos his voice sounds a bit.. well...shit. Still dont take anything away from teh fact that SYL fuckin rule!

[pnennu]

thats an insult ...

[666Desolate999]

Devin Townsend is like Alexi Laiho's evil twin mutant brother.:P..

This song is fucking amazing..alot of respect for Hoglan \m/

[MilitantOldLady]

fuck laiho!

Devin has more talent in his pubes then Laiho in his whole midget body

[abyssmetal]

AMEN

[chopshark2]

@MilitantOldLady why dont you like bodom or alexi?

[MilitantOldLady]

@chopshark2 they are too pretentious and i dont like the music they do...its not metal, its closer to pop

[drummerkid28]

@MilitantOldLady fuck u bitch i bet if u put both side to side and told them to have a gutair solo battle lahio would tottaly kick his ass ..

[MilitantOldLady]

@drummerkid28

you totallly dont get it, solo's are lame wanking about and dont do anything for music at all

[windriderrr]

@drummerkid28 You've never seen Devin play guitar the best he can. Laiho always does play at his best. Who gets boring in the end?

Laiho is a very good guitar player, but a lame singer and composer. We had to wait till Follow the Reaper for him to get rid of his classical licks he'd learn at school.

Devin on the other hand, is a mastermind. SYL is proof of it.

[KarateMastR57]

@drummerkid28 Ziltoid is better then anything Laiho couldod sorry :/

[Proglove85]

@MilitantOldLady I agree. But mostly because Laiho actually isn't that much bigger then Devin's pubes. I mean, the guy's a fucking dwarf... Devin's the god of extreme metal riffage though!

[Trivmvirate]

i never really realized how fucking huge gene holgan is

[knfbnny]

gene might be huge, but you'd never say it to him .. besides, much respect, he's a fucking machine on the drumkit, and i cant think of any other drummer id want to have backing this band

[Trivmvirate]

i been listening to gene since i was a kid when i was listening to the work he did with dark angel. i always had respect for him. Im just saying never realized how huge he really was.

[fittslemm]

Fucking sick!

[abyssalspecter93]

My fav SYL song

[DevinTuschhoff]

AYYYY YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT !

[gremlin2022]

He thinks he is pregnant hahahaha Nice touch of humor there :P

[alxwo6006]

hahah, i think he just wasnt able to think of the lyrics, so he just recovered with that, which is fay beyond awesome.

[papallo101]

I think he got freaked out when he broke the string, and blanked on the lyrics for a second.

[vctrblack]

wich is the name of DVD concert man? =0

[oAPXo]

For Those Aboot to Rock

[vctrblack]

thanks man!

[sirloin1358]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[biggestkornfan]

Great performance!
