Devin Townsend (Punky Bruster) - Recipe for Bait

[DaHuuuuuuudge]

william murderface, is that you?

[vaiority]

what the fuck did i just listen to...haha

[PcCAvioN]

Devin is just as good at Death Metal as Bloodbath!

[krillindestructo]

It's pretty sad to think that this is probably the pinnacle of 90's punk-rock...despite being a parody of it. Oh well.

[ExtremeRecluse2011]

Hilarious!!!!!

[Bassbait]

The ending of the song is referenced in "Skeksis" by SYL off of the Alien album. Genius.

[TheRedComa]

@Bassbait How so?

[Bassbait]

@TheRedComa It's really hard to notice, but at about 7:10, he twists the lyrics slightly around and puts them into Skeksis. The time in Skeksis where the reference is made is at 5:24. The lyrics aren't the exact same, but they're similar enough that you can tell Devin took it from here.

Also, Gene Hoglan uses a recycled beat from the band "The Almighty Punchdrunk" in Skeksis (to Skeksis' advantage, it is a REALLY good drum beat).

[CyanideSovereign]

@Bassbait

"I know you've found your pain, and it's the last thing you'll ever do and you've only got you to thank!"

That the one you're referring to? I think I hear it (kinda)

[Bassbait]

@CyanideSovereign Ya, that's the one.

[Bassbait]

Based on a true story, if anyone's ever heard of the band "Pyogenesis"

[krillindestructo]

@Bassbait yes, but it's nothing to be proud of

[McMadman94]

Mr. Townsend, you never cease to amaze me.

[krillindestructo]

1 person who disliked this is still making things out of earwax

[webbtje]

Zeppelin!

[HadBrunt99]

haha Devin. Love 'im.

[TheRealScarr]

Devin Townsend should have made a companion movie for this album like GWAR used to do....

[haydoodz]

this is like ZTO but even MORE off the wall

[Ziltoidd1002]

@haydoodz Lmao right?

[jhohcable]

I think I'm gonna cut my hair, think Green Day, LET'S GOOOO

[MetalJody1990]

He sounds like Nathan Explosion "I BROKE A STRING!!"

[easyginger]

Devin for President!!!

[theaxelofrose]

@easyginger He's Canadian haha.

[easyginger]

@theaxelofrose Devin is Canadian? You don't say!  The British Queen is Austrian

[wulfman15]

This video makes me realize how much I love both death metal AND punk rock...

[beechj1]

AWSOME!!!

[Skakhti]

I BROKE A STREEENG!!!

Man, this growling is EPIC!!! And the song kikcs ass!!!

[Eichro]

Even as an in-your-face parody, it's still some decent punk rock; some things are meant to be pulled off only by Devin Townsend.

[drrampenstein]

Devin's voice when he narrates makes me lol everytime

[Pingu616]

He is a funny bastard that Townsend fellow! haha.

[PsychoDriver9]

Ahahahaha EPIC

[djpn32m]

Two for one tequila shooter specials gets the biggest cheer.  Love it!

[RolandDeschain1]

This record is genius. Actually the best song on it is a 'hidden' track called 'Larry's O'. It's amazing.

And if the bands they're taking the piss out of could write songs as good as the ones Devy wrote for this then they'd be okay.

[quehannaband]

Amen on all counts... "Larry's O" has one of the greatest hooks ever and THE best line:

"I'm not pissed, I'm just unimpressed. No one cares 'cause it's all been done before!"

Pure unadulterated cynical genius.

By the way, PB was my first exposure to Devin - heard it on a Century Media salpler CD back in '95 or '96... Thanks CM!

[skorli]

HAHA ROT IN HELLLLL!

[windriderrr]

I broke a string !

[aligatorsandwitch72]

This is fucking awesome i need to get this album

[RawwestHide]

the coolest thing about this is that it's really dated, really makes you think about the pop punk scene back 96

[blsnewreligion]

they have sold 200 000 albums over the last 2 and a half hours x D lol

[YaYoGeek]

Dev is so epic

[MRPDR12]

"I broke a string...i i i mean I BROAK UH STREEENG"

[chawoosemothergoose]
