[brnleague99]

Is this album as good as Zimmer's Hole's "When You Were Shouting At The Devil...We Were In League With Satan?" That album fucking slams.

[MrMetallicious]

@brnleague99

Yes.

[Cataclysm31]

@brnleague99 Yeah IMO

[melodicthrashmetal1]

An album about an alien overlord who comes to earth in search of the universes best cup of coffee, but the government gave him a shitty cup of coffee. So Ziltoid invaded Earth.

[BubuSnow93]

Captain Spectacular made an account to dislike this song

[quakegod667]

I, for one, welcome our new Ziltoidian Overlords.

[meridianpuppeter]

[Niamorg1007]

This rhythm is mindblowing. I can't stop headbanging.

[Vlogtimusprime]

One person would rather have a shitty Dunkin Donuts brew.

[JVilleTVille]

This proves how useless modern day lyrics are compared to the music, or not. Its too good for humans

[MetalWillem1]

Lol if you look good you see Ziltoid has a cup of coffee in his hand xD.

[powerslave12r]

@MetalWillem1 If you pay attention to the concept of the whole album, what pisses Ziltoid off in the first place is the fetid cup of coffee.

[spartan3924]

I AM THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER THAT EVER LIVED!!! I AM ZILTOID!! lol

[vaxkors95]

Now, I worship Ziltoid, my god, that is Omniscient and Omnipresent

[wheredarknessislight]

Ziltoidia attaxx the Rock Band players sometime this year.

[deicidalmaniac]

Id love to hear 50 drummers smashing this out, 50 guitarist blasting it out through 50 400W amps, And Devin leading the pack, somehow cutting through the bestial sounds, ripping Ziltoids solo to fucking shreds.

[45calGunslinger]

@deicidalmaniac I'm disappointed that you think Devin would have -difficulty- drowning out that epic cacophony!

[KIBQUE]

1:22 "We're coming to your hotel!"

[deicidalmaniac]

@KIBQUE lol i guess it kinda sounds like he is saying that..

[KIBQUE]

@deicidalmaniac yes^^

[TheSkateNJ]

I would LOVE to hear him on tour with Buckethead!!!

[barnabyjones786]

@TheSkateNJ YES YES YES OH PLEASE GOD YES!!!!

[TheSkateNJ]

@barnabyjones786 Except this time, Ziltoidia attax for the Earth's KFC, lol.

[barnabyjones786]

@TheSkateNJ Haha we can only wish.

It would be an amazing show :D

[kassikorva]

they need to make a movie of Ziltoid or at least a music video

[kyatisback12]

Yeah that's nice! Fast shuffled beat! Love it!!

[Adultguj]

Man, this song sounds like soundtrack to your most horrible nightmare.

[Metalmoshking666]

1:04 sounds just psychedelic man !

Fucking great man Devin is just ,,,

[Metalmoshking666]

I imagine ziltoid playing the solo its so funny

But goddamn , Devin just fucking shreds it all !!!

[LouTheMetalhead]

YES!

[dionepon]

one guy is a justbieber fan

[MrMcBoogerBALLZ]

@dionepon Justin bieber has nothing to do with this great music. People have different tastes in music, you know....grow up, and stop commenting like a jackass and blaming JB for everything.

It was probably YOU who thumbs it down.

[Hackmoune]

@MrMcBoogerBALLZ yeah im sick of all these fuckin justin bieber jokes..

[squidbilly32]

gibbsies i agree completly on what your saying

[axeinface]

GIMME SOME COFFEE GIMME SOME COFFEE

[DrFuckingPepper]

"Resistance, is futile!"

[BloodyCannibalCorpse]

This song always reminds me of the times I used to play earthworm jim fuck i liked that game but I LOVE SYL!!!!!

[squidbilly32]

I WILL DESTROY YOU WITH MY OVERPOWERING RIFTS OF AWESOMENESS!!!

NOW DIIIIEEEE FOR YOUR YOUR IMPUDENCE!!

AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Seligsuper]

Hey guys, the drums are synthesized.

This song kicks more ass than any other metal song I have heard in the past 4 years.

[trippytrucker]

I just saw Devin Townsend at Bloodstock!!!!! :D

He was motherfucking kickass!!!!! :D :D :D

".......SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!!!!"

[theyesofthedevil]

@trippytrucker me to mate what a fucking show! i blazed a fat joint and watched in awe

[JimHisself]

SHIPS ARR IN THA SKAIGH

[billb292]

awesome song. does Devin use open C tuning for this song?

[Spermwhales93]

@billb292 Yeah. I think it was played on a 7 string as well, so it would have the low G string.

[19Labrie63]

If Devin spelt his name "Devyn", we'd have the same name. AWESOME.

[arghtonyrgoth]

Hail Hevydevy!!! you RULED on Graspop 2010 Belgium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thx for signing my shirt ^^

[Giribildo]

FUCK!!! THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!

Non ho parole per descrivere le emozioni che mi hanno pervaso ascoltandola, mi ha scosso tantissimo! avrei voluto sentirla dal vivo al Gods of Metal, peccato! avrebbe scosso sicuramente le acque!!

[chi854]

haha this pounds most metal into the fucken ground.

[DysphoricExemption]

@chi854 couldnt be more true.

[powerslavex18]

Does anyone else here have a great time imagining Ziltoid's invasion when listening to this and have much more of a good time in doing so?

[billb292]

@powerslavex18 I thought I was the only one that has done that haha.

[oommoo111]

Fuxxing Gooodah!

[silvermeerkat]

wow, I got shot to death by drums at 1:04, Kick rush of death

I am forever impressed by Devin's strange and tasty sound

[shidload]

Drums are ridiculously awesome

[babathhh]

Oh my god...It's not music from earth xD

[TrepaliumXIII]

does he do all the voices... if so thats insane.

[aero3132]

@TrepaliumXIII As far as I know, yes. He's a really talented and diverse guy.

[MegaNoobee]

@TrepaliumXIII actually he did the whole album by himself :)

[DysphoricExemption]

@TrepaliumXIII he does everything. he isn't insane, he's above insane..what's above? i don't know, but i know i'm right because this it's something unexplainable just like him.

[DrFuckingPepper]

@DysphoricExemption

"There is no insanity, but there's a super-sanity."

'Oh my Fucking God' by SYL proves this.

[aero3132]

I get an ab/leg workout just listening to this

[vampiricoverture]

you have to love ziltoid and devin is amazing id love to meet him and have a drink with him, i have been told he is at this years bloodstock festival, im so there

[turtlebuttmudd]

The singer sounds... like a mix of Randy from Lamb of God, and maybe the singer from Coal Chamber/Devil Driver, and alittle Manson. Shit I dont know >.> awesome voice though

[leambambam]

wow the drumming is just... wow

[ZzombikAt]

i want his babies....tasty...

[rachskald]

Foul! They hide their finest bean!

ZILTOIDIA ATTACK-TACK-TAXXX!!!!!!!

Where the ridiculous meets the genius XD

[clubfootforyou]

What is this off of?

[tentril]

...are you joking? Its from Ziltoid the Omniscient. Ya know, like the album pictured in this video?

[Luthanized]

Can't wait for Tuska Festival 2010!!

[Zargonite200]

Hell yeah! Just bought my ticket

[vihannes3]

@Luthanized Ha! Just came from Tuska 2011 after Devin's performance!

[taksorer]

@Luthanized Who cares about 2010. I Saw 2011 \,,/!

[slayerbloke00]

woop woop amaising

[moroney88]

That´s some fast drummin.

[rsman169]

They used a drum machine for this album, sure, someone can play that fast, but not easy to find sometimes.

[moroney88]

@rsman169

Just realised that Gene Hoglan from Strapping Young Lad can. He´s ridiculously talented with double bass pedals. Faster than Ramón Herrera from Fear Factory.

[rsman169]

Gene is in fear factory now Lol.

[moroney88]

Now you´re talkin´Sweet.

[rsman169]

The whole new mechanize album by Fear Factory has Gene Hoglan in it. Check out the song "Fear Campaign" That's for sure Gene's wonderful drumming.

[SpunkyBlunderbus]

I like the artwork on the whole project

\m/

[Naattorri]

This might be my favourite song from devin's solo career.

[maggotforlifecrisse]

This must be one awesome album to listen to when you're stoned. hahaha!

Honestly, I really start to like Devin's work; he's an awesome musician!

[Milesaru]

@maggotforlifecrisse Oh it is lol

[Progmandrake]

Ziltoid is the law

[TheGodsWeep]

damn, I own this album. It's fucking epic.

[Cake09091]

"I am the greatest guitar player ever to have lived", lol, crazy solo though.

[englandink]

Just Dev's sarcastic humour. Just like when he gets on stage live and screams in the middle of a song, "I am a sexy beast!" and such other comments.

Fucking awesome man, awesome song, awesome album, awesome music.

Stay metal!!!!

[Cagedand3nRaged]

If there were two omnisciences, Ziltoid would be both.

[masterofmorphine92]

the drums fit the atmosphere of the album

[Agentbromsnor]

Nice song, even though I think Drumkit from Hell sounds very generic. Sorry, I just think it is.

[zonfar]

I will kindly disagree. I think the drums sound badass!

[DysphoricExemption]

@zonfar who could possibly have a problem with the programmed drums from hell, he did it all by himself and it's NUTS

[ChinoMoreno4life]

wow too much coffe and you'd be so fucked up like your on cocaine

[Someone132435]

Oh my fucking god listen to those drums

[DreamNeonBlack]

Yeah too bad they are programmed.

[Someone132435]

Gene Hoglan could do it, so could Hell Hammer and Scott Travis, really a lot of people could but yes the whole album was programmed

[DreamNeonBlack]

I'm not saying there aren't people capable of playing it. Tim Yeung, Derek Roddy, George Kollias, I'm sure are all capable of playing this. I'm not quite sure Scott Travis could pull it off, though, at least not this cleanly. But Hoglan and Hellhammer, definitely. I just don't really care for programmed drums in metal.

[Someone132435]

Well i cant seem to find Scott's solo (a song in a Racer X live album) but it gives a little taste of what ST can do on the drums... but yeah i agree when you say that you dont care for programed drums

[cuboos0919]

dude this entire album was made with one guy playing insterments and singing no 1 else helped for his drumer he used a download called drumset from hell....album kills

[0Vailor0]

'You better believe it huumaanzzz'

xD

[jsmurley1289]

Give us your coffee!

Give us your coffee!

I'm the Greatest guitar player ever to have lived!

Hilarious as hell.

[iDrum37]

this song is great

[Petruccinho]

Yeah, the program is called Drumkit From Hell^^

[FallenGrace2905]

hevydevy has done it again! excellent

[Trollfresser]

I'm so sorry for everyone who takes this seriously.

[HuoltomiesH]

The lyrics haven't been made to be taken seriously, but the music is awesome!

[Trollfresser]

I know ;)

I think it's just funny to see people yelling "God this is so stupid!!11 An alien that wants coffee! SO STUPID"

Most people don't get that's it's a parody on these cheesy 40/50 Science Fiction movies...

[LateralisArt]

IT IS? NO WAI! I THOUGH HE REALLY WAS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY!

:P

devin townsend rules, and Ziltoid is about as serious as Space Balls.

[Trollfresser]

I KNOW THAT! ^^

I was referring to those idiots who come crying "blablabla this sucks" ;)

[ChinoMoreno4life]

great movie

[nekovelo]

Not parody. It's a homage.

[wolfhound1589]

ah dude the whole album is about an alien that comes to earth in search for coffee. and then decides to destroy the world because it wasn't made right i doubt that was supposed to be serious but instrumentally devin is awesome

[Trollfresser]

Aaaw man...

I know all that. All I wanted to say is that I feel sorry for everyone who is incapable of seeing the obvious fact that it isn't meant to be taken seriously!

I like the music and the crazy idea of Ziltoid! Quit bugging me Interwebs ;)

[beats172003]

whoaa..that's fast double bass!!!!

Is that Gene Hoglan??

[mattisgod74]

na all the drums on this album were progammed in

[pyramidehead666]

what kind of name is ziltoid anyway??? i stioll love him though... :D i want the ultimate cup of coffee.... :D:D lol

[billface]

I believe it's the name of THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER TO HAVE EVER LIVED! =D

[fraserpaterson]

Man, what I wouldn't give to have his voice. So unique among all the other metal vocalists.

[SergAvenged]

So True Dude

[squidbilly32]

@SergAvenged fuck the voice the guitar is what really companies it. dev is good but his playing style is unreal

[gibbsies]

@squidbilly32 His voice is a lot better than most metal vocalist, it's very easy to understand what he is saying when he screams and his vocal range is enormous.

[Nubnut]

@fraserpaterson I'm waiting for the day Devin Townsend and Mikael Akerfeldt do a duet....

Two most unique growlers/singers/guitarists in metal playing together? That would be the greatest thing ever.

[largemoose]

"Devin has such a unique sense of humor. Like when he's playing his solo saying he's the greatest. He's playing a terible solo on purpose to make Ziltoid look like an idiot."

I don't think the solo is intentionally terrible. He's just playing something very odd.

He's making fun of himself/metal in general with the "I am the greatest guitar player..." comment.

[philippethemad]

lol frist time listen very funny!

[hevyd00d]

hendrix < Townsend

Hevydevy for life.

[adrianvdb]

kurt? Bob?

[hevyd00d]

I couldn't compare, because they play completely different types of music. I like Hendrix too.

[adrianvdb]

do you think Hendrix and Devin are similar? =0

[randomdude6662007]

Both genius in their own way, but apart from that the similarity ends.

[kapbrhs]

Devin has such a unique sense of humor. Like when he's playing his solo saying he's the greatest. He's playing a terible solo on purpose to make Ziltoid look like an idiot.

[sirloin1358]

this is probably the closest to Strapping without being Strapping. the humor is nearly identical.

[ScottMcTony]

Hey I loved the solo :(

[ZabriR]

"people on earth, we're your ziltoidian overlords. resistance is futile" "check this out ... simple ... i'm the greatest guitar hero ever to have lived". awesome and funny lyrics :)

[HankJwimbleton678]

soz ziltoid but hendrix is the best

awsome song!

[SergAvenged]

read the description!

[Miriados]

that alien looks pretty funneh xD but teh song is awesome o.o

[adrianvdb]

finaly someone uploads a normal version of the song. :)

[SergAvenged]

yup :]

[Preator]

Haha, despite how awesome this is it makes me laugh.

"I am the greatest guitar player ever to have lived! I am Ziltoid!"

[avoliitto]

ACE! And who the hell is that drummer? He's got skill. No doubt about that. All hail Ziltoid! (And Hevy Devy...)

[tierruox]

that's not a real drummer =)

it's a software named drumkit from hell

[SergAvenged]

i heard of that. but if you go watch the video "vampira". devy has a drummer.

[rhopa]

hello :)

dunno about Ziltoid, but DFH can be just "sounds" on MIDI hardware. A drummer behind Vdrums and DFH, and let's roll. Just easy for sound I think.

my 2 cents :)

[qpwoeiryt333]

Yeah, he did all of the stuff for Ziltoid by himself. The drums on this album are a program.

[chirrelmetal]

And I quote from the album; "Drums and support provided by Frederik Thordenal."

[Visgaar]

Because Frederik Thordenal recorded all the samples the Drumkit from Hell for EZDrummer uses.

[RiotSk8Team001]

i think it was actually thomas haake who did the samples

[1AzureSky]

It was. Devin knows his good drum programs.

[Spotfarm666]

As the dude said

It was Dev, but Tomas Haake gave himt he softwhere to program the drums I think, or he uses it to.
