[MrCookie31c]

Pretty damn amazing

[tutomaster]

it reminds me of ulver!

[Rladrien]

he did this acoustic last night... so amazing

[theothercommentguy]

I'm not the only one who finds that it's easier to do homework while listening to Devin am I? Thoughts just seem to flow freely when he's on.

[Asche13500]

@theothercommentguy Me too ;).

[DestructionOverdriv]

@theothercommentguy I do it too man. craazy lol

[valekfan007]

even though most of this song is just him screaming recycle i happen to love this song

[Kerfuffleinahussle]

@valekfan007 Yeeeahh....even though that part comes around, what, 3 times in the whole 9:36 minute song... -_-

[Kerfuffleinahussle]

@wxarmstrong Lol

[GaaraxChopstickx]

Earth Day is actually my birthday, so this is my favorite Heavy Devy song <3 xD

[SGFAZ]

@GaaraxChopstickx It's your biiiiirthday, it's on Eaaaaaarth Day...

And coincidentally, your worst fucking day. Sorry about that.

[alphaenemy]

Forgive me for saying this BLOWS IN NO WAY.

[Kerfuffleinahussle]

You people realise this song isn't actually about environmental issues right?

[devkam13]

Eat ur beats and recycle. Don't eat the meat and recycle.

[DarkHelmet261]

Well, it's just entertainment folks.

[TheExpIoited]

There's a magical feeling in every Townsend song....much different/better than anything I've ever listened to. :]

[Xderda]

As usual, no disappointment from Devin Townsend. I LOVE his music, he's my new inspiration for metal music and playing guitar. His subtle humour (RECYCLE! Repeated over and over) seems to increase my enjoyment of this particular song. I just can't seem to spot any flaws whatsoever. Magnificent musician :)

[1americanidol11]

@maxwellcullen42 Yes differant, there are all *differant types of music out there. I'm sorry that I deeply insulted the song and I guess it's not that bad.

[Xderda]

@1americanidol11 I'm sorry but how can you spell different wrong after it's been displayed to you on a screen?

[1americanidol11]

@Xderda I didn't know they were correcting my grammar. Sorry, I made a mistake. Just like I made a mistake insulting this video. Again, to everyone who likes this video. I'M SORRY. The song isn't that bad, I was just over exaggerating.

[petehawthorneuk]

8 people need to be recycled!

[Spartanjames170]

not even really into environmentalism but i love this song just because it is so incredibly awesome.

[keffbanan]

@Spartanjames170

In my opinion, this song is really sort of a critique on environmentalism and the notion that you're doing something valuable during earth day :)

[metaldrummer12345]

This is without a fucking doubt the best song ever created.

[ElMightyMasturbator]

I only recycle 'cause Devin tells me to.

[SilverbackGorilla69]

Will remember to eat my beets and recycle next Earth day

[pyromegalomaniac]

BUTT FUCK IT! lol ik thats not what he said but it's still kinda funny

[direconsequence84]

why do i hear so much rush in this song? i really dont try to intentionally.....

[MoGaDeX]

RECYCCAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­!!!!!!!!

wtf...

[CapnMorgan66]

"So just shut your face

and take your seat

'cause after all you're just talking meat

and music, well it's just entertainment folks"

I feel like this part is specifically geared towards youtube commenters.

[slightlystooooooopid]

R-I-P Earth



[ScrewLimbBizkit]

He says "Recycle" so much I swear he's pretending to be Corey Taylor

[MetalMikeCass]

@ScrewLimbBizkit You got it the other way around.

[AvengedSevenfoldx248]

Two words...FUCKIN EPIC!

[philipkeaveney777]

My Birthday is on Earth Day so this song has double meaning. It's your Birth day it's on Earth day sounds like devin is singing me a birthday greeting :-)

[RiotontheBandstand]

"So just shut your face and take a seat because after all, you're just talking meat." - I LOVE THIS SONG.

[MrMetalzilla]

Damn i love the intro and other parts in this song, i really got to get used to long songs though :/

[NeverLandQM]

@MrMetalzilla Took me a while in the beginning as well, not specifically with mr. Townsend here but with other bands such as Dream Theater and Opeth. Just don't think about it being so long, start listening and forget about the time. you'll see how 4 minutes songs will sound so short in a bit ;) and besides, length doesn't affect the song really- a good song is a good song regardless of how long it is (unless it's being dragged on, and this song definitely isn't). Have fun!

[MrMetalzilla]

@NeverLandQM

Oh this song doesnt drag on at all, its amazing

[TheK001A1D]

OMG I JUST FEEL LIKE JIZZING ALL OVER THIS SONG!

Seriously thumbs up this song!

[TheK001A1D]

OMG I JUST FEEL LIKE JIZZING ALL OVER THIS SONG!

[Emanny237]

Best fucking Devin Townsend song ever!!!

[Gorrillamann38]

Those 7 dislikes mustve been those guys from the waste department

[Gorrillamann38]

I wil never litter again

[spydergarbler]

I really love that little flourish from 1:59 - 2:00 Haha.

[KIBQUE]

7 people are from the Mars

[1americanidol11]

Everyone, I just want to apologize for my outrageous behavior. I am not into this kind of music, and having a title such as "Earth Day" puts a more peaceful song into mind. So I just wanted to say I am truly sorry, and I guess the song isn't that bad, i'm sorry to offend anyone, it just isn't my type of music. I overreacted, and i'm glad you guys like this song.

[philipkeaveney777]

@1americanidol11 Leaving those comments on this video was always going to bring serious heat your way. Natural metal fans were going to flocking to this video yesterday. Take it as a internet lesson and learn from it. Nothing is ever bad if you learn from it. :-D

[SinisterSkip]

@1americanidol11

Now we don't know what to believe anymore :)

[x33lc96]

Yesyesyes :D

4:10 - 5:45

[lovesmygirls213]

This was the first album I listened to with my newborn in the hospital. The first music she ever heard.

[Caleb9849]

The most epic part is 0:00 - 9:36

[Ketchupyoshi]

This song is the greatest way to celebrate Earth Day.

[itstands4TwoLetters]

@1americanidol11

Successful troll is successful.

[bcasey25raptor]

happy earth day. lol

[KIBQUE]

5 people dont live on Earth...

[hiddenlion]

@1americanidol11 I guess it should've featured something about the Gilmore Girls, huh?

[PostMortemBoredom138]

@1americanidol11 cool story bro

[1americanidol11]

@PostMortemBoredom138 r u serious?

[JoMCaR3193]

@1americanidol11 Ehm... EPIC FAIL... So what are you even doing here if you won't appreciate it? ._.

[1americanidol11]

@JoMCaR3193 I typed in earth day and I thought this was going green be a nice, meaningful song about earth day. Not some heavy metal junk. 

[r0xorsboxers]

@1americanidol11

I guess any song exceeding three minutes in length is too much for you to comprehend. Correct?

[Donteatmarbles]

@1americanidol11  Obvious troll is also obvious.

[philipkeaveney777]

@1americanidol11 It's Devin Townsend man. You either get him or you don't... Just because it's metal music doesn't mean it has to be about clique subjects. Personally i think this song in an absolute masterpiece. Different tastes man. We don't live in Nazi Germany... Happy Earth Day.

[AeacusCanti]

@1americanidol11

tits or gtfo

[1americanidol11]

This is a terrible song portraying earth day! This is hevy metal, you can't even understand it! How are people saying this is the best song in the world?

[streettaco27]

@1americanidol11

Boners

[1americanidol11]

@streettaco27 Shut up, you make no sense. I'm sorry that I was putting down a apparently popular song. I am not by any means into heavy metal, but I wasn't thinking of the people who are. I am sorry, I know that I am not into this type of music but some people are, so I am sorry that said this song was terrible. That was just an opinion from a person who deson't like this type of music.

[streettaco27]

@1americanidol11

We... are Boners

[1americanidol11]

@streettaco27 wat? u don't even make sense.

[streettaco27]

@1americanidol11

Welcome to the Boners

We have fun and games

We have everything you want

Honey we know the names

[1americanidol11]

@streettaco27 What-the-hell

[streettaco27]

@1americanidol11

I don't always Boners, but when I do, I Boners

[macadoolahicky]

@1americanidol11 You don't need to like metal to like Devin Townsend. You just need to like art. You must not like art

[1americanidol11]

@macadoolahicky No you don't need to like art to like his music. Beleive it or not, I am very into art and I don't like this song. I'm sorry, but that's just my opinion. And sorry to put down this song, i'm just not into heavy metal. I like mo re quiet songs.

[macadoolahicky]

@1americanidol11 listen to his album "ghost" everything is peaceful

[macadoolahicky]

@1americanidol11 or his song "deep peace". the intro is acoustic and the only real metal part is the guitar solo, and all my friends who've heard it that like pop and rap and stuff think its the most beautiful thing they've ever heard with an electric guitar

[1americanidol11]

@macadoolahicky Well, then maybe i'll listen to it again. But when I listened to it the first time it sure seemed like metal.

[slash181]

@1americanidol11 You may like Art... but to bring that up isn't relevant in the slightest. You could just say, hey im not into all this loud noise... i like more peaceful songs. As Devin has it all!!! Art is everything that is a form of expression. except for hip hop shit.

[1americanidol11]

@slash181 Well then that's your opinion, you may express yourself in a differant way, as this singer does. But I prefer a differant type of music. But I have to say, I am really into going green and saving the environment, so i'll say I can appreciate for making a song about earth day. I suppose the song can't be that bad once you listen to it.

[God69a]

@1americanidol11 actually, this is progressive.... lol

[Itza996]

Posting on appropiate day.

[Aethernial]

This on repeat while chilling out with some good stuff is my wat to celebrate earth day

[LauraBlackdeath]

4 people didn't recycle.

[TMF58]

This song is the reason why I'm glad Earth Day exists.

[shaktiuniverse]

Happy Earth Day, 4/22/2011 - Love Mother Earth, Love you, Devin!

[Astraknight]

I have made an habit of eating beets and listen to this song in Earth Day, RECYCLEEEEEE!

[Kintso]

Happy earth day! :) hurr durr

[JezFTW]

Happy Earth Day y'all!

[r0xorsboxers]

Listening to Earth Day on Earth Day as a celebration. RECYCLE!

[J0000OOOO]

Earth Day is tomorrow!

[rileyvace]

@J0000OOOO The exact reason I'm listening to this on Youtube instead of my MP23 player atm haha!!

[miffy23]

4 people thought this was Michael Jackson garbage.

[emotionalpunkboy]

REECYYYCAAAAAALLLEE

[JoeySunsong]

Simply Awesome, Devin Townsend is a genius 

[beckylou25]

TUNNEEEE!

[warboy123456]

[b03y]

@warboy123456 RECYCLE* Nice try though.

[negrois]

best lyrics ever

[Tokyorosebiz]

Please have a listen to Save Planet Earth by Tokyo Rose

[bloodybloodshed]

Third Devin Townsend song I favorite in a row, hes just too good

[rikkirimpi]

My brother played this song for me a few years back and i was instantly hooked. Devy-fan forever!!

[JoeySunsong]

awesome

[masterfluffypants]

This song made me go green.

I made 20 cents from recycling today :D

[miltanos]

'I saw God'

[MorbidAngelNo1]

Parts of the song are among the most brilliant I ever heard! His creative mind is just amazing!!!! Recycle!!!!!!!!

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

BRILLIANT!!! Just wachted a bit of x-factor with my mom, and what a joke they all are compared to this!

[pcrvg0808]

the 'DEV'

[teaser1996]

Imagine that. My birthday is today lol

[Beefforyou]

Prog Radio station!? HEAVEN

[CADILLACTATE]

[o0portal0o]

@CADILLACTATE YUMMO! *giggles*

And F'ING Recycle! xox

[VaanSinX]

4:39 - 5:12 is JUST FUCKING EPIC OMG!

[AMAZINGDOG402]

@VaanSinX you mean 0:00 to 9:36, right?

[skeltyrescuesdogs]

@VaanSinX Well the whole freaking song is epic but I have to say OMG to 6:09-6:36. Seeing this guy live in a few months and the anticipation might actually kill me.

[jhohcable]

This song is better than Earth Day, or just Earth period.

[cvg1099]

What's especially interesting is how this song is comprised 100% of recycled riffs, chords, measures, and lyrics from many of his other songs. For instance, there are drums in his other songs. And I distinctly hear drums here.

[Waterboy157]

@cvg1099 hahaha

[bovinemarauder]

@cvg1099 Wow! Really man?? That is awesome! How did you find out that?

[Donteatmarbles]

@cvg1099 I never noticed that! What songs specifically?

[Bassbait]

@cvg1099 I'll tell you what, I don't agree with you entirely, but the intro to this song sounds vaguely similar to SYL's song "Dire". So there's that.

[seanxbox36o]

song is soo sick

[6EELZE6U6666]

This is the best mixing i've ever heard in my life!

[AngusYoungForMayor]

RECYCLEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Zombiestewstudios]

♲ Recyle bitches

[julianking93]

I only recycle because Devin tells me to.

[gatver22]

this man is very talented but his music somehow never does it for me

[Drewb18c1]

@gatver22 Though I think this song is completely and utterly brilliant, I do have to say I know where you're coming from. He's very hit or miss for me (more miss than hit I hate to say) though I have nothing but respect for Devin.

Have you listened to Ziltoid the Omniscient? I freaking love that album...definitely one of my favorite metal albums

[gatver22]

@Drewb18c1 thats true, I bought this album when it came out the first time I heard it I was quite awe struck and impressed, but with more listenings it just faded I get that with a lot of contemporary metal, it lacks pain, depth & chaos its more like a well produced quick fix, but thats just for me personally. nonetheless townsends composition abilties are quite unique... I've heard never the ziltoid album I'll try it who knows maybe I'll change my mind ;)

[o0portal0o]

@gatver22 Ziltoid it up baby! Don't forget your coffee!

[shihadrocks]

Dude. Yes.

[Donteatmarbles]

Three people don't/do eat their beats and don't recycle.

[ckeanup123]

i want to recycle every thing

[linktriforcemaster1]

recycle! recycle!

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

You just gotta love it!

[melnirvana35]

N111Ce !!!!! Omg nice nice nice :')

[stylesomega]

amazing track form one of the greatest albums of all time!

[Infurn]

The two bags of talking meat who disliked this need to shut their faces and take a seat.

[DamnEdge]

whoever was the single person who rated this a thumbs down needs to take a long hard look at themselves, what a feted individual they are, indeed. Know this humans, devy is god

[SixOneCynic]

The best of all DTs character creations, he's still climbing, but he hit his peak with Terria and won't assume it again. Probably.

[Deconion]

@SixOneCynic He'll never hit his peak.

[OysteinAerseth]

I don't think a song has ever had such an impact on me before... the rest of the world is missing out. Devin TRULY is a genius.

[zelda1942]

Head banging while at work and just making everyone else freaked out is epic fun. All caused by this amazing song. Thank you Devin.

[VanAxeeL]

0:01 to 9:35 is epic!

[TheAJMetal]

@VanAxeeL How about 9:36? :( Haha.

[chi854]

Fucking epic

[squigglycircle]

7:00 to 7:42 is some of my favourite music ever.

[Rivroner]

Brutal LP this Terria.

Devin Townsend is the man, nothing more to say.

[analfrost]

3:55 this bit is fucking awesome!

[ParappatheRapper]

Does anyone else hear that talking in the background around 1:05? Or maybe that's something that sounds like talking.

[Tripp426]

@ParappatheRapper I hear talking from 1:14 until 1:32.

[torcidas]

@ParappatheRapper

The message is: There is no message

[DMfan1994]

RECYCLE!!

[octillus]

It's your birth-fuckin day. It's on earth day. :D

[Mexecutioner669]

@octillus "it's your worst fuckin' day, its your birthday"

[dreamsignals]

i feel privileged to know to listen to this today, and to know there are so many nice folks out there that know it too! i even ate beets today!
