Devin Townsend Project - Fly - Live at NAMM 2011 - Jan 13th 2011

[tcb5677]

One of the best voices in rock and metal ever heard plain and simple

[NiteKrawler33]

I love my Boxset..I cant wait for the London Show DVD Set

[badcompany009]

Just when you thought the album version couldnt get any better.........he plays it live.

[sabrefang0]

Freakin awesome to have Devin have native flute on Ghost.

[shipperwolf1]

Does anyone else start salivating at the sound of his voice? *wipes mouth*

[F3rgul]

Helps me accept my probable fate, thank You Mr. Townsend.

[gazmetal]

I love how it says Metal Assualt at the beginning of this song.

[xxScreamScreamoxx]

Man he's coming to my town in October I want to go but so many good shows I want to go to but I'm 16 on the urge of buying a car so my work money goes to that Bush is coming here, Gwar, Brian "head" welch, then ffdp and hatebreed ATR, and of course a group that is most hated man this is going to be hard

[OmegaBubbles]

@xxScreamScreamoxx

I urge you to see Townsend, it one of the greatest things ever. Seriously, fucking amazing.

[kingfullmetal]

@OmegaBubbles He came to St. Paul, MN on October 8th, the first date of the tour, and I was in the front row. Mind=Fucking Blown. What a genius. Can't wait to get my copy of "Contain Us"!

[Deletion2112]

Seen him in tilburg in april, it was legendary, but he didn't play this song T_T

[alessandrozerbone]

This is so....METAL!!

[AnnatarYoung]

If I were Devin, I'd get pretty damn sick of people requesting he play some Strapping Young Lad stuff.

[phreestylesk8r]

saturday im gonna see DTP live!

[IAmMonsterDog]

@phreestylesk8r DUDE! You're going to the same show I am!

[phreestylesk8r]

@IAmMonsterDog it was AAAAAWWWWWWSSSSSSOOOOOOOOMMMMM­MMMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lost my voice singing his set haha along with bodoms

[IAmMonsterDog]

@phreestylesk8r I know!! Devin was absolutely amazing! I skipped out on bodom though. My friends and I met Devin's bus driver earlier and asked if we could meet him and he told us how to find him after the show. So after he was done playing we waited by his bus for like an hour and a half. He didn't show up and we had to leave to catch the last bart train. But still, the concert was so sick!!

[Ne1s0n64]

@IAmMonsterDog Hi there! Did Devin do a lot of songs at the concert? I'm going to the Edmonton show on the 2nd to see him play, and I hope he gets to play as much as the headliners, Bodom.

[IAmMonsterDog]

@Ne1s0n64 No unfortunately, he only got to play a few songs. I think it was about 45 minutes total. I heard Bodom had a 16 song set list.

[Ne1s0n64]

@IAmMonsterDog Thanks for the reply. Damn, at least I get to see him play. It'll be a good time, regardless. I'm looking forward to SepticFlesh as well! Thanks again!

[IAmMonsterDog]

@Ne1s0n64 No problem man! and yeah Septicflesh was really cool too. They started a chant along for every song though. That got to be a bit much, but nevertheless they were still really sick

[phreestylesk8r]

@IAmMonsterDog that would have been sick to meet him and ur rite, its was a SICK concert

[Beholder505]

Grow back the skullet NOA asshole

[slackerjames]

have to see you live man :)

[johncuda]

Im sure i just made love to this video, my shorts are wet and im crying.

[Geddylee2000]

If you only like the heavy stuff, or you can't appreaciate diversity, you have no taste nor does your opinion matter; mainstream heathens

[ShortSonata94]

Ghost is gonna be far more relaxed than Ki. To me, Ki was incredibly tense and quite moody really...

[earworm]

that kat epple is an amazing player, I couldn't hear this song without out her playing.

[aggbala]

ghost is like ki? or even more mellow? ki had some metal parts deep inside those mellow songs...ki was really cool in that way but i know this cant fail either! :D

[dahudge9]

@aggbala Devin said that Ghost is gonna make Ki sound like grindcore

[iraph]

@dahudge9 yeah but Ki resulted in freak outs if you were too stoned and heard the metal parts.

[4through6strings]

@iraph try shrooms what a mind bender lol

[MetalheadZW88]

Im pretty sure he would be a mountain if he could, I have a mountain in my pants,

Keep it up Mr. Devin!!!! Really cant wait for Deconstruction, hope ghost wont piss me off, first half of feather is really cool, Ki sucked... everything else hes ever done (SYL included) is amazing pure fucking genius

[ImIoOImI]

@MetalheadZW88 ki.doesnt.suck.

[gotpezz]

@ImIoOImI its not his best, but something like the title track is miles better than trainfire or heavensend in my opinion

[triggerhoppe]

@MetalheadZW88 Ki sucked? You take that back. Right now.

[somberlight]

@triggerhoppe, it did - on a devin-scale. he's able to do it that much better.

[yermomdotcom1]

Hevy Devy is a Canadian icon. From Vai to well... This, his mind is, certifiable? God.

[boneyardcircus]

is this music from Ghost? i love it!

[Ph0enix57]

I can't believe this song was made by the same person who sung "Shitstorm" and "Oh my fucking god"

[TheGorkinator]

@Ph0enix57 Indeed, but it shows how incredibly versatile and amazing Devin is.

[Dumbshait]

@Ph0enix57 I know.. Its so dicking good.

[malebitch92]

@Ph0enix57 devin townsend makes music and doesn't even care about fu**ing genres!

[Jaymz515]

4:17 FLY. O-VER THE MOUN-TEN.

Best lyrics ever.

[snakecraig]

Was he playing at the Marriott hotel next to NAMM?

I missed it...

[RandomJackOfDoom]

So, uh, let's make like the mountain?

[triggerhoppe]

@RandomJackOfDoom Let's be like the mountain.

[TheDagoC]

i love this

[ProgressiveBale]

1 person couldn't fly over the mountain

[12bore1978]

Wow. Need I say anything more?

[Kawambachamba]

Why does the "audience" talk while the artists are performing? That`s just disrespectful. Pathetic philistines, they don`t deserve to listen, because they can`t.

[exit119bass]

@Kawambachamba

It's NAMM. it's a giant arena room full of exhibitors.

[Someone132435]

Dear Youtube, something's wrong with this video, for some reason there's a dislike bar.

[AMartins92]

OMFG 1 dislike?!

[AMartins92]

It's such a shame we have to still SIT IN THE MOUNTAIN until we can fly over it. In other words I really want this to come out soon lol.

[Yesman812]

3:01 Wonder what he was nodding at there.

[Hemanisgay]

@aquilathehun lol thanx, i realised that a few minutes after i commented

[Hemanisgay]

what album is this song from?

[HipN0Nik]

Devin is every element of a human.

[masterofpuppets222]

I've watched this video so many times now, it's ridiculous.

[LicoriceLain]

This even better than the clip from the Bed Track video implied. :3

[Adultguj]

I just can't get over the fact that the man singing these songs is the same guy who recorded City with Strapping Young Lad.

[Bobsikus]

@Adultguj no it's not :P in its way

[pirez1986]

@Adultguj I know, its rediculous isn't it!

[Meriliniel]

Beautiful, this is gonna be magic ... how long do we have to wait?

[Kuiss]

Magnifique !!!

[jusaca2]

My favorite God

[dominic508]

I liked and favorited before watching the video.

[hyperdrive2010]

@dominic508 I do that with every Devin video. Hahaha

[RobynRosettaStoned]

Devin is the king of metal. He is a musical genius. He can write and record what ever he wants! So if you dont like it, go listen to your bullshit thrash, because you obviously dont have the taste and passion for music that devin has...

[poopvayne]

ahhhhh dammit i can't fucking wait for this and Deconstruction,going to be top albums of 2011!!

[metalbornmetalbred]

Met him a few years back and he is as nice as he is talented. What a great song!

[Guuff]

fucking amazing!

[protolexis]

Meh.

[vorpal72]

Devon is as close to my idea of God as I'll ever get. All hail the new flesh!

[ZeeKat]

Dave on keys again, cool. And isn't that the Ki bass guy? Lovely tune, looks like great album is ahead of us.

[METALLICA6547]

@YingYangCrunk who the fuck are you yinyangcrunck nice fucking name fucktard you dont know shit little boy get the fuck outta here

[the2989]

Quit feeding the troll you morons, just enjoy the video.

[masterofpuppets222]

Words cannot express how much I love Devin Townsend and everything he's ever done.

[MuikuliWander]

This is so relaxing. Can't wait til' the albums are released.

[the2989]

Folks, just flag the trolls as spam and ignore them.

[TheLordmordecai]

holy fuck! he's a phenominal musician. no matter what he does it's always good

[arty908]

@Pyrocy we fl...wait no we si... I... I agree with you we don't know..

[Pyrocy]

One thing I don't get is, do we fly over the mountain or do we sit in it?

[LongY0utubeUserName]

@Pyrocy I see what you did there

[TheWeedbullet]

@Pyrocy Kudos good sir.

[YaYoGeek]

@Pyrocy It's just another mountain

[ggf929]

@Pyrocy I'm not sure, but I think we're supposed to ascend to the summit of Black Mountain, sit in it, log some hours (with medications and a dog, of course), and finally leave and fly over it.

[inVINCEable5000]

@Pyrocy IT'S JUST ANOTHER MOUNTAIN!

[Donteatmarbles]

@Pyrocy It's just another mountain bro, don't worry.

[ShortSonata94]

@Donteatmarbles More people need to fathom the awesome in this comment. Vote it up.

[ArthurFWTaylor]

@Pyrocy Or be like it? I find his stance on mountains perilously inconsistent.

[sentient07]

@Pyrocy

it's just another mountain...

[smittybang]

@Pyrocy his lyrics have always been pretty cryptic

[Mhorgrimify]

@Pyrocy Depends wich mountain it is. Metaphorically speaking.

[sappyhead]

Doesn't fit WHAT?

[sappyhead]

@METALLICA6547

It's called music diversity, you narrowminded ass.

Each of the 4 albums under the "DTP" moniker, has FOUR different styles.

Open your mind.

[METALLICA6547]

@sappyhead not narrow minded i just dont think this fits, ass

[TheWeedbullet]

@METALLICA6547 Clearly good sir you are very ignorant. Why is it such a bad thing for a musician to pursue different musical directions? Pray tell me how exactly do you know what "He is about" ? Also how is this gay? Last time I checked gay meant happy or It referred to someone who had a sexual attraction to the same sex and seeing how music has no gender nor emotions it can not be classified as gay or not.

[TheWeedbullet]

@METALLICA6547 I didn't get offended at all. I was just curious about your reasoning behind an opinion that is filled with ignorance. I can dig that you don't like it. The issue that I have is that the whole basis of your argument is that this music is not what "he is all about". So tell me, What is Devin Townsend all about? Is he about the Heavy, The emotional impact, or is it about something else? Are you even aware at what he is trying to accomplish with DTP?

[METALLICA6547]

@TheWeedbullet dude i listen to his heavey stuff,and dont read about the final product he is looking to acheive,i just cant beleive after all his heavey music that is killer it the besy he can do,say like metallica they do the heavey then you get fade to black that was expected,then yrs later they do mamma said,and its like wtf this isnt what metallica is about ,thats what i meant with devins band i just dont understand it

[jprenaud0343]

@METALLICA6547

listen to what makes you feel good man

[devthous]

@METALLICA6547 man just one thing ... devin is far beyond music specially prog music... he has his own style of music ... you cant compare him with the easy writing music of metallica and slayer (and all the bands like them ... )

[devthous]

@devthous open your mind ...

[devthous]

@METALLICA6547 ok but the prvious week i saw live scar symmetry and they are not progressive ... just another melodic death metal band like arch enemy , nightrage .... this is not something new ...

[METALLICA6547]

@devthous listen to the albums liten to the guitar playing listen to the lyrics they are progressive death metal thats is how they word it that is how there fans word it you cant listen to a band live hearing a snippit of their catalog and say shit like that,they blow most bands away with there talent you obviously havent really listened,you would nt like devin if you didnt like scar symmetry,you know nothing of them if you compare them to other bands noone is doing the same thing album wise

[RandomJackOfDoom]

@METALLICA6547 What the fuck is a "raming jack o lantern"? And anyway, whilst SYL was an amazing band, this type of music is absolutely beautiful and it suits Devin perfectly. If you want heavy, check out Devin's Deconstruction coming out later this year. And you should know that when you put METALLICA6547 as your username, it won't always come out with good results.

[METALLICA6547]

@RandomJackOfDoom blah blah blah you know your mad you didnt think of it first,i love how people worry about a screen name user name as if it means anything other than a way to log onto youtube you dumbshit,bottom line like the band metallica or not most bands in metall wouldnt be here without them including devin,ever notice all the hetfield esp's devin used to play hmmm thats because your hereo like metallica so shut the fuck up whiner

[ibanezsam4]

@METALLICA6547 didn't he play Stef Carpenter's guitars?

[METALLICA6547]

@ibanezsam4 maybe i know he used to jam the esp explorer model the black hetfield series ones

[RandomJackOfDoom]

@METALLICA6547 ...Nope, didn't get a word of that. And I KNOW Metallica are influential and shit, but that's beside the point. What I'm saying is that Metallica changed their style just for the sake of it, whilst Devins musical shift has a point to it. Scar Symmetry, whilst I admit I enjoy their music, aren't progressive. Plus, in songs like Quantumleaper and Holographic Universe, they have Devy inspiration. Anyway, you're changing the subject, troll. Your move.

[METALLICA6547]

@RandomJackOfDoom you dont understand what your talking about so there is no need to go back and forth,you probably think tool is progresive so i dont need to argue anymore about devin and his acoustic rock album,if i wanted to here this ill just go listen to stained

[RandomJackOfDoom]

@METALLICA6547 Tool is overrated and this sounds nothing like Staind. I tell you what though, Tool is a hell of a lot more progressive than Scar Symmetry. As I mentioned previously, I quite like SS, but they get quite tedious. Pretty much the same thing over and over again.

[tylerholicus]

@METALLICA6547 Lol man if you don't like diversity then don't listen to someone such as Devin Townsend. Go listen to Slayer lol.

[METALLICA6547]

@tylerholicus fuck slayer,now thats some boring shit,good god man,tell me your joking

[tylerholicus]

@METALLICA6547 stop imposing your negative thoughts on people who are actually enjoying the song and acting like your opinion is superior to everybody else's. If you don't like it just simply exit the video.

[gitrplaya4u]

@METALLICA6547 poser? what is he trying to pose as?

[JiiSallinen]

@METALLICA6547 Dude, you are as wrong as possible. Devin's music isn't about being metal and he has never been that way. Devin is about being diverse and doing some fucking awesome music, and not just trying to sound the same from album to album. Well, I guess you'll learn to open your eyes when you grow up.

[METALLICA6547]

@JiiSallinen grow up,dude i got 11 trs on your ass boy,and as far as this music,its slow,its boring,its not cutting edge,and you think he's done somthing genius,he's stuming the guitar and singing while all the other people here are playing music too,so tell me oracle what is so cutting edge about this song,tell me that,explain to me since you have an opinion back it up tell me whats cutting edge here,what is to be heard here that i cant hear from another singing guitar strummer?

[JiiSallinen]

@METALLICA6547 It seems that being 35 years old doesn't mean being grown up. If song is slow, it doesn't mean it's boring. Any way, if you don't understand any other music than Metallica or Slayer, it's your loss, not mine. And i'm not gonna waste more time than this arguing with you.

[JiiSallinen]

@METALLICA6547 Just because it sounds awesome and it's a fucking beautiful song.

[RandomJackOfDoom]

@METALLICA6547 Hey, you're the one with Metallica in your name, twat.

[wtfreely]

Is that Kat Epple?

[thethirdeyeproject]

@wtfreely It is indeed!

[ZEROSIGNEL]

@thethirdeyeproject yep sure is.

[PaulBlehMetal]

Anyone have video or know of the third song he played? Coast and Fly were so awesome, it'd be a shame if the third one never showed up.

[CGuitar2112]

Awesome. Fucking awesome.

[RandomJackOfDoom]

Just when you thought he couldn't get better...

[mikevod]

wow-devin is mellow-wheres the ff metal!!!-you rock!!!

[mikhailmadnani]

CANNOT WAIT FOR DECON/GHOST!!!! DEVIN FUCKING RULES!!! CAPS LOCK OFF!!

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Beautiful and amazing tune. By the way, Devin still has that strapping sense of humor. Some things just never change. Devin is king.

[itsonlytheinternet]

damn this is good stuff.. sure hope the world will wake up and give devin the credit he deserves this year.

[OC616]

Wow 1st viewing =) beautiful Devin...flute is a perfect touch
