Steve Vai on Strapping young lad (parody)

[unliborator]

what band was steve talking about? (really)

[Xormac2]

@unliborator Korn

[psyoptica]

Hahahaha, I love this video.

[Guitarmazdur]

LOL

[theoriginalbillholt]

I'm just getting to know who Devin is, after crapping on a SYL video. Hey, you learn as you go, right? I like the 'adrianvdb' YouTube name. I'm a Vandenberg fan, too. I always thought he was vastly underrated. I like the video. Wise-ass stuff is good. : ]

[Mel7vc]

Nice ending hahaha

[XxAardvark456xX]

What's the SYL song playing?

[ajmp10]

@XxAardvark456xX All Hail The New Flesh

[ownkilla100]

fuk steve vai bucket head fvr

[XxAardvark456xX]

@ownkilla100 Both are good. Gotta give respect when due.

[sodaspider]

Steve Vai was blown away and he thought, there's no fucking way in hell that i can play that fast

[psyoptica]

This video cracks me up.

[fefaaa21]

i've heard this personally from steve vai, and i quote: "there aren't many people i consider geniuses, but devin townsend is a true musical and metal genius."

[DashingTrout]

Stevie Vai looks like Rodney Alcula, the serial killer

[ItsGojira3]

I love how Devin use to sing for Steve Vai. I'm pretty positive he's heard Strapping young Lads. He heard Animals as Leaders and called it the future of metal

[smwatkins72]

Devin is so far beyond SYL and exploring uncharted new soundscapes that it's not even funny. No offense to Vai but DT surpassed him technically and musically ten years ago.

[wargasm58]

@eclpse3g True, ......but who the fuck are you?

[gamesharks8912]

Devin Townsend has got it.

[nilanium]

"and i was so blown away, i pulled the car over and *headbanging ensues* "

[Vomitore]

When I first heard Korn I thought "Man... This sucks... It'll be big!"

[Beckonor]

That's cool that he likes Korn. The only band that is original with the 7 sting guitars.

[jek21]

He was talking about KORN??? HAHAHAHA

[SuperSpanishChicken]

SYL on the radio? OH MY!

[SchmittySchfin]

Best part of this clip? Devin Townsend actually played with Vai before he made SYL...

[slickstrings]

@SchmittySchfin i dont know if its true, but i heard steve kicked him out. told him 'i cant have a muso in this band better than me. so go and write a record and ill produce it for you.' so if there's any truth in that we can thank steve for getting devy out there doing his own thing.

[dran219]

@slickstrings devin has his own record label :P

[slickstrings]

@dran219 he certainly does now yes

[drawlbag]

At 00:48 That's Gene Hoglan breaking wind.

[mauroPYwb616]

This video is so EPIC!

[blakkblood]

i thought vai used 7 strings before korn were known?

[Ragnarockalypse]

What SYL songs are there in this video? Would appreciate a reply.

[Antzatin]

@Ragnarockalypse all hail the new flesh

[Digideus]

@Ragnarockalypse its called "All Hail The New Flesh" (from the "City" album)

[megaterra69]

lol I love old korn, but yeah...DT is the man!

[MrTOKUKITA]

i thought he was going to say it was like a waterfall....

[JaketheSnakeESP]

It's an interesting combination considering Devin got his start in the business singing for Steve Vai

[ZiltoidiaAttaxx]

@JaketheSnakeESP on Sex and Religion ;)

[JaketheSnakeESP]

@ZiltoidiaAttaxx Exactly :D

[22FretsIsNotEnough]

Well if it's an consolation, Steve is a huge Devin fan and buys everything he releases.

[ScottNicholasSimpson]

LOL!

[mediacesspool]

Dude, this video is fucking annoying...

[deimos2k6]

ibanez sux

[ScottNicholasSimpson]

@deimos2k6 No they do not, they can't be if Steve uses them.

[secreticelandprod]

The radio will never be cool enough for anything related to Devin Townsend

[0Vailor0]

Hi, I'm Steve Vai, look at all the guitars I have.

[SYLperc]

lol, they were in a band together. didn't know for sure it was a parody until i read kbjami's comment

[sm0kenmirrhurz92]

When I saw the real video I honestly thought he was talking about Dream Theater, as they had put out their album Awake which had 7 strings the same year as the first Korn, or maybe even Morbid Angels Covenant (93), then again what are the chances of MA being on the radio

[shithappens667]

korn!!? KOOORN?!!?

[instereovideos]

Wow, I can't believe that Vai heard Korn on the radio and thought it was some kind of break through. I'm sure he's happy about all the money he made from hillbillies buying seven string guitars as a result of Korn, but seriously? What a disgrace.

[sk8rman919]

its funny cuz devin used to be the vocalist for steve vais band thing

[Stigma1990]

@sk8rman919

Actually, it was only for 1 cd and 1 tour.. He wasn't actually "IN" the band, it was more of a guest appearance, I would say.

[hurmos]

IF they played devins music in radio world would explode from devins awosomeness!

[Rrrrobbo]

I'd rather listen to dev than vai any day! No offence really though Steve! I have great admiration for his ability and dedication, but the music just doesn't grab my balls!! Maybe I need to smoke some pcp

[Avathron]

all hail the new flesh.

[Iluvtogekiss]

@Avathron here here.

[chromakey84]

Devin Townsend terria, ocean machine, bio mech, ziltoid, xelerate evolution and he just put out like six more albums.. Thats the stuff he is doing pretty much on his own with out strapping... not to included his ayreon role and writing, if you talk shit.. you dont know shit.. dev rules

[AlxMiNeR]

SYL IS FKIN AWESOME!

[jjzsidane]

What´s the name of the SYL song they´re playing on this video?

[MetalManJads99]

@jjzsidane All Hail The New Flesh.

[jjzsidane]

@MetalManJads99 Ok, thanks man.

[abysmal13]

This is funny because Devin Townsend was the singer on Sex & Religion by Steve Vai

[alzsss]

you morons just dont get it. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT KORN NOT SYL. get it? i didnt say korn was the coolest..

[assasinator1980]

korn isnt progressive or heavy....meshuggah is

[FunkyHonkyCDXX]

So Vai was actually talking about Korn in the original clip? Is that why everyone is mentioning them?

[coppwatt]

@FunkyHonkyCDXX indeed sir. indeed

[TurkeyTuck]

@assasinator1980

Everyone is progressive.

[GlobaFightOnBullshit]

@assasinator1980 korn is grovy though.

[wargasm58]

@assasinator1980 Who the fuck mentioned Korn in the video?

Or Meshuggah?...............?

[assasinator1980]

@wargasm58 He is actually referring to Korn...SYL is edited into the original video to make it look funny. You're a fucking idiot aren't you?

[wargasm58]

@assasinator1980 Yes, thank you sir.

[spacemonkeyzass]

lmao. great. only thing better would be vai getting slapped by the whole band.

[JYZProductions]

yeah some random contemporary band I can imagine as Steve wasn't the first guy to play 7 string guitars... hell if i had money laying around I'd go for 9, from Ab to very high B... .fanned this scalloped that, I'd have a blast.

[alzsss]

yeah that was a stupid band. and wait a minute i listen to death metal bands like obituary, brutal truth, deicide, unleashed, and many more and not justin weener and of course this STUPID BAND!

[johnymetalman2002]

He is actually talking about the 7-string!

[atombebi]

u can say anything...but Dev is a very big person in the history of metal....yeah Vai too...but I love Dev better..

[DjentyDjentrix]

"... It was progressive..." "I'M GONNA FUCK THIS SHIT UP!"



[HadBrunt99]

LMFAO YESSS. i love you. it only makes it funnier that devin sang for steve vai back in the day so they actually do have a connection. if he was talking about a voice rather than a guitar it would be perfect :D

[finowa]

hahaha. ace vid

[kbjami]

@SkeksisBestSongEver

Like I don't think Korn is complete shit. They do have some decent stuff, but still . . . I think it would of been much better if Vai was talking about DT and not Korn

[dsordlyfolks666]

Every time I watch this video, I have to listen to City front to back. Thanks a lot.

[DangerDeems]

This is fucking amazing.

[adrianvdb]

@alzsss

Go to your room.

[koen37]

@alzsss stupid?! you know how Strapping Young Lad is waaaaaaaaaay better than Korn right?

[feedusafetus]

@alzsss korn is fucking shit, buddy, try listening to metal, and if you dont theres aplace in nashville for you. fag nipples.

[MetalHeadFilipeG96]

@feedusafetus

i love Korn, i think theyre awesome, not as good as SYL though, i guess its just because i like atleast 1 band from all kinds of metal, literally

[alzsss]

@feedusafetus

ive been listening to death metal for 20 fucking years you stupid noob

[pinhead512]

@alzsss wow, your'e my hero.

what's the difference if you been listening to 20 years or 2 years? Does it make you 18 times cooler?

[alzsss]

try reading first 

[Gorerupted]

@alzsss wtf... you little piece of shit!!! That was the legendary Strapping Young Lad,,, go to your room and wank yourself at a poster of justin bieber and korn

[kvamdead]

@alzsss your going to bed without supper...

[gibbsies]

@alzsss korn sucks

[Niallphillips]

@alzsss Ahahahahahahahahahahaha

[atombebi]

@alzsss you woesome motherfucker! kill your mother before a new piece of shit!

[Jtizzle214]

@alzsss Stupid band? Youre fucking stupid!

[Stigma1990]

@alzsss

Too bad Korn sucks. They don't have shit on SYL, DTB, OR DTP.

[Deathz0r94]

@Stigma1990 they don't have shit on justin bieber ffs ( I hate justin with a fiery passion don't get me wrong)

[instereovideos]

@Stigma1990 Don't forget about STP, AX7, SOAD, ABCDEFG, XYZ, and BYOB. Korn doesn't have shit on those.

[tommoh2000]

@instereovideos Avenged Sevenfold is shitty faggot metal and they have absolutely nothing on Korn or SYL, or the majority of other metal bands.. you clearly have bad taste in music

[instereovideos]

@tommoh2000 Lol, you're a fucking idiot. Look again, I wasn't being serious, I was mocking you. "Clearly," you have bad taste in jokes.

[tommoh2000]

@instereovideos you were mocking me even though that was my first comment? riight. Anyway I apologize for not finding your primitive form of sarcasm amusing, I couldn't see what it was a response to since youtube changed a while back.

[instereovideos]

@tommoh2000 Yeah... you can see it. It's right above this comment. How dumb are you, bro?

[tommoh2000]

@instereovideos It's only above this comment after you've commented, you stupid fuck

[instereovideos]

@tommoh2000 You're so mad. and so dumb.

[Stigma1990]

@instereovideos Well, if you knew the band you *most likely* watched this video for (SYL, obviously being Strapping Young Lad) then you would realize the musicians name is Devin Townsend. If you're a fan of his music then surely you would understand that DTB would mean Devin Townsend Band and, correct me if I am wrong, DTP would most definitely mean Devin Townsend Project, thus pointing to the obvious that every abbreviation written in my message is, in fact, the same artist. Thank you =)

[dannyskater]

@Stigma1990 Try convincing the thousands of Korn fans, mr. Totaly objective guy. Your hugely constructive criticism is doing wonders for the youtube community. Thank you very much...

[phreestylesk8r]

@alzsss haha korn is a stupid band syl is A REAL band

[TheGeek1028]

@alzsss If you are implying that Korn is better than SYL, you must be 13.

[dran219]

@alzsss strapping young lad are legends

[leezus83]

vai was actually talking aboot korn, shame he wasn't talking about syl.

[LicoriceLain]

Gahly! I love this vid. XD

[tgorycki]

I love Vai, but that's some funny shiznit!

[joenic2791]

The Vai is aboot to rock!

[Fractal40]

@SoulBirthGuitar was he really? wahahahaha

[stitcha123]

laugh.out.loud.

[Jack8the8Ripper]

...someone tell me where the syl footage is from

[Jack8the8Ripper]

favorited

[sylunatic]

this is one fuckin funny vid adrainvdb! like this soo much ima gonna fave it lol cheers

[kbjami]

what's sad is he's talking about Korn and not about someone as amazing as DT

[dontcare441]

steve vai is a fucking joke, Nevermore shows what a 7 string can do...listen to The Godless Endeavor

[zappafile]

@dontcare441 HA ha ha ha good one man. Thats funny. Nevermore he he.

[PhilosopherOnWeed]

@dontcare441 Nevermore is good, but Jeff Loomis just shreds and shreds...Great guitarplayer, but Vai is a true artist and can create soundscapes. More feeling, more emotion. Something Jeff Loomis doens't have...Don't get me wrong...Loomis is kick-ass, but he isn't even allowed to hold Vai's nuts.

[jibninja5000]

@kbjami talking about Korn isn't sad. Yea they're mainstream and some of their stuff sounds forced. They can do legit metal though. And how many mainstream bands do you hear rocking 8 strings? Yea, just them and Deftones pretty much. My point - Korn isn't as good as DT/SYL but that doesn't mean they're not good.

[YourRoadToHell]

@kbjami are you serious? hes actually talking about Korn...?

[BrixSnBs]

@YourRoadToHell Haha i'm pretty sure it's Meshuggah

[Zappacho]

That reminds me on the fact that S.Y.L. may stand for Steve You Looser (I still like Steve, just saying )

[bennolanman]

kind of false advertising seeing as he is'nt actually talking about SYL

[ZeeKat]

Well if we're speaking about 7 string guitars then presented SYL's "all hail the new flesh" isn't the best example since it's a song written for open C tuned 6 stringer. First SYL album using 7 stringers was "Alien" from 2005. /pedant

[jestervision595]

haha funny video and soo true
