Strapping Young Lad - Velvet Kevorkian/ AHTNF (live)

[greaterJAY]

sheer ear candy, love that Canadian... school is in session with DT - I know some dudes he stayed with when he was working on Sex & Religion with Vai back in the day, apparently he used to come home from the studio and slam the hell out of the material that they had just tracked... funny sh*t... I can see why with what goes on in his head...

[cryptoprocta]

atrocity that oh my fucking god is not in related video list oO

[JCI1990]

Who is the guy in the background on the keyboards?

[BubuSnow93]

I love how Hoglan looks calm and relaxed while playing super fast song

[TheWillx13]

''you're all gay''...classic

[devthous]

show devin when he sings the clean vocals ! mother fucker !!!!! i dont care for the pointless moves of the other members !!!!!!!!

[TheUltim8Apocalypse]

My mom has the same shirt Jed is wearing :)

[Kadadj]

Dat hair

[jasondesante]

Gene Hoglan is a fucking machine. His kicks aren't perfect obviously but still, its amazing to hear it so clearly.

[Magoosle]

@jasondesante Considering his kick patterns on the album, I'd sure as fuck be making mistakes too!

[TheSonsofHorusx]

SICK MORBID ANGEL T SHIRT!!!

[Tool902]

Am I the only one who thought it was pretty bad ass at 4:33 when the keyboardist was headbanging in synchronization with everyone else?

[bestplugins]

Trigger is not properly set up :)

best song ever BTW

[cooliovasquez]

the first seven tracks from that album are incomparable in awesomeness

[E1gh188]

double kick is aweful..

[mayonaden]

2:35 the bass drum sounds like someone is making popcorn

[cpcbs916]

You FUCKING POSERS!

[anonymouslol]

half these bitches don't even nod their heads

[TheBlakmetalemp]

Devin knows how to get the crowd going!! So glad I got to see them while they were in their prime.

[mareb1to]

Total Devin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Christopsy616]

Bloody Eargasm!!!

[FarmStudios]

5 persons were renegated gays xd

[MetalMikeCass]

"You're all a bunch of posers!"

So true...

[ImIoOImI]

dat doublebass *-*

[cryptoprocta]

epic

[lesterawilson3]

1:52 - best metal lyric ever!

[XxJeremyxX]

FUCK SLEEP! FUCK YOU ALL!

[Blindfelon911]

this is the greatest video ever!

[spijtig]

mooi

[fritzo62]

HAIL ZILTOID! PREPARE YOUR FINEST COFFEE! I WANT EVERY STINKING BEAN!

[Iznoghoul]

Hard to believe how much he has changed and the fact that he wrote ghost haha, legendary guy

[mobious10]

You fucking posers =P

[ARProductions2010]

For some reason, out of all the live versions, this is my favorite.

[CrushArea51]

geezuz fuckin christ that drumming is INSANE!

[JackTheBeaver]

@CrushArea51 it's not insane, it's the atomic clock. ;)



[Sekiath]

1:01..... a mortal is cowering behind the amps from the epicness.

[Spongierocks]

Hahahahah I laughed so hard when I started to watch this, like... "Fu..... suck it!!!!!!!" hahahahahaha

[Corrosive1]

I love SYL , but their keyboard players makes me ROFL. They are from different world. Check out 4:33 - total metal

[scottwill19]

Are u guys on methadon? This is a piece of shit, sure the music is good, but the lyrics fucking suck, all it is is devin swearing at people...their lyrics r no better than anal cunts or napalm deaths

[NecroButcher91]

@scottwill19 Matter of fact yeah we are are on methadone so suck it. all hail seth putnam

[scottwill19]

@NecroButcher91 dont even mention seth putnam fagstick, hes not a musician

[SatansRapists]

@scottwill19 You used Anal Cunt and Naplam Death in the same sentence.....are you mentally handicapped. You do know that Napalm Death is actually extremely political, philosophical and intelligent? You do know Devin is a genius, and Strapping Young Lad is a metaphor for his anger at the music industry, and most of his lyrics are brilliance in disguise? Jeez, children shouldn't be aloud to access computers...

[scottwill19]

@SatansRapists wow, fight me u fucking pussy, napalm death and anal cunt r the exact same in every single way, they both just swear about rape, incest, and just plain offensive shit into the mic....and no strapping young lad is not a fucking metaphor, devin didnt even make the name, his record company gave it to him bcuz it was meant to be just him with random ppl providing extra music in the background...but then it became a band...fight me u fuckign ignorant like pusscake

[SatansRapists]

@scottwill19 ........sigh..........Strappin­g Young Lad....the band....not the name....wow...fail. I hope to shit you be trollin cause otherwise you're just an idiot. I just read all the lyrics off Scum and every single one of them is about politics and society. Anal Cunt is a joke band, their lyrics are supposed to be ridiculous and retarded...all though they suck anyways. Biggest effin huuuurrr durrr ever commited.

[scottwill19]

@SatansRapists no there is nothing political about napalm death, stfu ur wrong

[SatansRapists]

@scottwill19 ....look at the album cover for scum. who are those guys in suits? probably incestual rapists right? not politicians, that would be stupid.....

[SatansRapists]

@scottwill19 A: Who are all those guys in suits on the album cover of Scum? Probably incestual rapists right? Defiantly not politicians. B: In all honesty, what do you think the name Napalm Death references? I'm curious to know how ignorant you are.

[scottwill19]

@SatansRapists its too match their brutal music style fucktard, anything core like deathcore, metalcore, housecore etc. doesnt have morals...thats why they are core....otherwise they would be something different

[obviouslypepsi]

@scottwill19 Troll somewhere else. You've laid out a good bait. People are very defensive of bands they like, with good reason.

But you are acting far too ignorant and forward slash or fucking stupid to be anything other than a troll, trying to get a rise out of people.

If you are really that challenged, then you should know that the "core" appendix is normally used to indicate a subgenre that incorporates other influences into the parent style.

Not a reference to their personal morals.

[anonymouslol]

@scottwill19 omg you're that dumb, how does it feel lol?

[MsCunt]

I love his skullet! Just sayin'.

[Rickles]

I think there's a problem with genes triggers. That doesn't sound like usual sloppy playing.

[dripgoss]

"Holy fuck!"



[reidmansz]

"You're all fucking posers!"

[Fizzwut]

Gene hoglan messes up the bassdrums quite bad here.

Great live show though.

[Sekiath]

Devin Townsend has redefined metal for me.

[israeladdiction]

yeahhhhhh, strapping young lad

[DoctorRobertBobby]

all hail hevy devy. what a performance.

[blindcynic]

I like how the keyboards guy looks like they got him at a garage sale. haha,he's also a badass headbanger.

[jorninorion]

@blindcynic ahhah he's awesome.

[MrDillonB19]

at 6:21 god lost control of his own awesome power!

[tholopainen85]

how the fuck is he so amazing? HOW THE FUCK?!

[sonicbetrayal]

either the crowd has never hear SYL before or they were just in awe of how FUCKING AWESOME they are live.... Devon Townsend killed the real Justin Bieber threw his ass in a blender and drank him just before this show

[MetalHead420100]

so fuckin awesome. devin is like the greatest person and musician on the face of the earth. this crowd blows though

[Metalobsession94]

These guys don't need no fucking special effects or pyrotechnics to put on a real show! This is not just a great concert with good music... Words can't describe how fucking great they are live!

[spankrod]

Oh, my God. It's here. I thought it was lost to Youtube limbo, forever. I can finally rub one out to this song live, again.

[Syaniidi]

"YOU FUCKING POSERS!" Devin truly has enough attitude/credit to make those insults/comments of his sound so credible. xD

[MrDillonB19]

Devin is far superior to most other artist im confident enough to say. There is soo much heart in this song, you can actually feel the pain and rage of where the lyrics are coming from when you have THAT powerful of music behind it and of course with typical strapping there is a sense of humor in these lyrics giving you the reason to not take it so seriously. Devin is a genious, it is unforunate that strapping is no longer dominating this earth but i respect his reasoning for the change of path

[MrDillonB19]

I'M THE BEST LOOKING MOTHER FUCKER IN HERE

[phreestylesk8r]

dude jeds shirt is frikin awsome!!!!

[sherbysherb]

that is, without shadow of doubt, the best and most epic live track i have ever heard in my life. may he truly be a god and be granted immortality. amen.

[takethislife89]

his cleans are godly

[LeTinctoire]

@takethislife89 His cleans are so clean, they're simply filthy.

Also, the Velvet Kevorkian bit is awesome as ever :)

[Apatheria]

Devin Townsend is easily one of the greatest front men to ever walk the planet.

[wosko]

Like this comment if you would give your right nut for a SYL reunion tour

[sybow]

@wosko I would give both nuts and my penis for it..

[Corrosive1]

@wosko I would pay my bloody ass cheecks to see that shit

[clubfootforyou]

Weird to hear Gene flounder a bit on the bass drums. Not in the groove yet I guess?

[Supertax2]

@clubfootforyou I think it is becus of the accident he had...He was in his hayday with Death, but now he has those moments, still wouldned want anyone else to play this, hes just a legend.

[JeanDenisCote]

@Supertax2 If you've seen him with Fear Factory, you know he's definitely in TOP shape. So I'll have to go with shotgunndunn here and say that it was a trigger issue. Or maybe he was really not in the mood that day. Or maybe he was lacking in 2006 and came back in full force since then? Who knows, really.

[shotgunndunn]

@clubfootforyou I know man, those blast beats were awful. It could have been a trigger issue.

[69stringibanez]

I want strapping back

[Edgehead66666]

plz if you have the whole live upload it!!!

[GODCORRUPTED]

gene hoglan is so fucking extremely bloddy good,, excelent fucking player

[lesterawilson3]

Fuckin' suck it!

[Z1CAUSEDEATH]

awesome performance of the New Flesh.

[MarkMadness81]

this live was in Bologna, with Devildriver and company in 2006 non the rock am ring!... i was there and at 2:07 Devin was looking me going crazy for this fuckin huge song!!!!

[MarkMadness81]

This isn't the rock am ring...is in Bologna and i was there!!the band was awesome!!

[TheWhitey74]

why is the camera on the one guitarist like the whole time? haha

[ecaepevolhturt]

1.24 - Mr Townsend is one of the funniest and super talented musicians in music! The music is quite balanced. As fun/violent as meshuggah is, sometimes I want to hear actual singing. This is why I prefer "SYL - Detox" to any of Meshuggah's songs (including new millenium cyanide christ).

[loosifur]

hmmm no wonder the band broke up bye bye

[bakplaat13]

I'm the best looking MF-er in here!!!

It is a pity I have never been able to see SYL playing live! I think Devin is the greatest metal musician ever with a unique sense of humour. Probably not understood by all people, but that doesn't matter.

I ADORE DEVIN!

[get62477]

kids... he is not making fun of people.. gay or otherwise... he is one of the most gracious artists out there... funny and an all around cool cat...It is just his persona on the stage...

[jonnyjumpsalot]

Yay im gay! FUCK YEA!

[leamog]

i met him. he is a god.

[themarell]

its not a rock am ring fuc....ers

[JesseXMS]

Devin can get away with doing wierd stuff on stage, like Adam D. from Killswitch lol

[GalacticGod666]

Devin Townsend is a fucking god.

[leetos]

You motherfuckers don't know what you're talking about.  If anyone's gay, it's you. I love this song.

[MasterChince]

I'm the best looking mother fucker in here !!

[MasterChince]

you fucking posers !!

[unicron291]

SO ALL! HAIL! THE NEW FLESH!!!!

[MasterChince]

Fucking Suck It... can you believe tis shit people !? your all gay........all I need is this shit hole and this mind and I will get by... fuck sleep fuck all of you......

[neuroelite]

it sounded gay somehow when you said it.

[MasterChince]

@neuroelite thats because your queer and everything to you has to be about penis and gays.... now fuckidy fuck off faggot

[neuroelite]

That's funny since you are listening to a band which talks about gay sex non-stop... you're kind of a moron.

[MasterChince]

But you can never get by because you are all fucking ugly, you mean it I mean it fuck you all.... are you listening ! are you !.... FUCK YOU

[Jebusjames1]

Fuck yeah!! Even the keyboardist is headbanging at 4:34

[TraviSixShot]

Devin Townsend is no doubt a god

[morbida]

@TraviSixShot Definetly

[emoslayer5000]

You're all gay!

[vigil8686]

SYL has always had the most horrible crowds imaginable, what the fuck is their deal? This rules

[PolkaP1G]

"I'm the best looking motherfucker in here" lol that made my day.

[Amnesiam]

"WE'RE HERE TO PUMP YOU UP!"

Well, you succeeded.

[VelvetKev0rkian]

what a horrible fucking crowd

[TheBigjon1213]

hahaha. Devin yelled, "holy fuck!" and the guitarist ducked down and the guy behind him ducked down almost as fast probrably thinking someone was shooting.

[JonasHaterTillDeath]

how the hell is strapping not considered among the absolute greatest artists of all time

[Jartny]

Jeez, this is the first video I've heard Gene missing some spots, especially his kick drums. He's still awesome though!

[coisamorta]

I have no idea how that fat fuck can move that fast and not lose any weight in years. Love it.

[schwarg]

Yeah I noticed that too, I kinda cringed. But whenever I even think of doubting his immense reservoir of skills, I just listen to Symbolic from Death.

[Amnesiam]

@Jartny I think his drum triggers are misfiring.

[jamesxme]

He triggers his kick live, theres always the chance that triggers arent firing :P!

[Enigmatametal]

I agree. I've seen him perform triplets like that on studio kits on time. I think that's what happened. If not, the hell, every man has mistakes in their performances. Even the famous people, believe it or not.

[hoopodi]

Devin can call me gay any time he wants!

[acnepus]

4:45

haha

[leetos]

Jesus, why don't you just spit on me and insult me in my own home Dev?

[BadKarmaKills]

@leetos I LIKE RAPE

[neuroelite]

@leetos you're more than likely gay, no need to be offended you can still have your parade.

[gwawll]

hahah, awesomeness 1.18 - 1.25

[jg928]

It pisses me off that the crowd just sits there and does nothing....

[dran219]

@jg928 no u can see the fans

[VelvetKevorkian]

This song's in Open C, without the drop G.

[lexagon]

With a seven-string (which Devy is playing) it has the G.

[VelvetKevorkian]

The G isn't used in this song. And why are we all arguing? It's Open C no matter what.

[megadethrule1]

you can play this in drop A on a 7 string like me-[A,E,A,D,G,B,E] works fine

[galatonim]

@megadethrule1 or you can just play it in open C on a 7 string ;p Just forget about the low G string

[schwarg]

Pretty sure jed plays it in drop C though....

[masterofsin]

YOU'RE ALL GAY! hahhaahaaa :D

[Jaydrummer1988]

man i tell ya what genes kick drum triggers are miss firing really bad

[xthenickx]

It's GCGCGCE I believe, just open C with the 7th string being a G.

[JonasHaterTillDeath]

is jed simon wearing a morbid angel shirt

[Slaaaaaave]

i believe so. looks like he appreciates great music :)

[FinlandsThunder]

if Gene would quit wearing cowboy boots, he might not fuck up so much...

but he's still a beast...

[Rhys666Metaller]

Open C tuning on a 7 string FTFuckingW

[xfubar]

It's like GCGCGCG or some shit

[ShitPopsicle]

CGCGCGE i think

[Corrosive1]

yeah jed wears morbid angel shirt !

[dran219]

Devin kicks ass!

[dimuuborgir999]

so its velvet kevorkian and all hail the new flesh ok damn threw me through a loop for a second

[FenderUsa]

LMFAO

[huixtralizer]

FUCK U ALL!!!!!

[DangerDeems]

lmao strapping is so fucking funny! well mostly devin :)

[kinplisity]

does any body know the correct lyrics to vk all the websites have incorrect lyrics that sound nothing like the song

[Davesmith666]

can you believe this shit people?

all i needs this city its mine and i will get by, fuck sleep, fuck all you.

YES, YES!

and you can never look back cause we'll never get a second chance.

i like people who can take the pressure,

are you listening? are you? fuck yeah!

a new time has come ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, wecome the fuck home!

[MATvision]

thankyou man, I needed Kevorkian lyrics

[megadeth125]

i was JUST coming on here to ask the exact same thing

[dreamtheater1957]

whsat the fuck is wong with youtupe.. fucking ass holes

[RedJesper]

Wow ... Devin is the kind of guy I just want to hang out with. I really want to see SYL sometime, but I don't know if that will happen anytime soon.

[snipingcheese]

He said on his forums that he might be doing a solo tour. BUT ITS NOT CONFIRMED, and it wont be till he's released the 3rd of his 4 new albums this year.

Anyway, he said in a very recent interview that the is NO WAY that he could ever do more SYL. He said that by The New Black, he was over it, and drugs were the only thing giving motivation for it. It was forced anger from Alien onwards. He sobered up and his musical genius is 1000 more obvious now.

[RedJesper]

Yeah, I just watched a ton of his interviews, and heard him explain all of that stuff. I understand, so I guess I just missed out. Oh well, from some of the things he said, a solo tour is likely enough to happen. I'll HAVE to go to that. No question, I don't care how far I have to drive.

[snipingcheese]

Yeah, I feel the same way. I never got to see The Lad live.

I wanted to see Metallica and/or AC/DC but screw that now =)

[ARProductions2009]

AC/DC is a good show live

[69stringibanez]

FUCK, i wanted to syl sooo bad, who gives a fuck about his musical genius. METAL SYL

[ARProductions2009]

This song is badass, hahaha the intro is just epic and so damn funny

[PolkaP1G]

YOU'RE ALL GAY! hahaha that made my day.

[SuperProOrNot]

you obviously know next to nothing about drumming. That is a very acclaimed drummer you're attacking and i doubt you have the skill to back up your words. All hail the new flesh

[MikeeNemeth]

I'm not attacking anyone, just saying he fucked up this live song. and nothing? it doesnt matter, cause anybody can hear sloppy bassdrum, but i got 4 years of study + 3 years of selflearning... All hail the not sloppy new flesh indeed

[SuperProOrNot]

pardon me if i disagree as i have heard multiple works from Gene Hoglan including dark angel, testamant, in addition to being a studio member of Dethklok. I can go on youtube, find a Zakk Wylde music video and start saying he's sloppy. It doesn't make me better than him. The fact of the matter is that he played the show and did an amazing job. He played exactly how the song sounds and if you can do better, get on a stage (not your house) and do the same thing better.

[tractor666]

Fuk it Gene is a legend as was probably playing his first band when you were in the womb ,so stop dishin his style its live and he plays his own particular style I am a self taught drummer and have played in several bands and dont give a shit if I goof up sometimes its a part of bein a musician ,In my opinion Gene played shit hot in this live vid and at least you can hear every fukin beat.

[tractor666]

Mint! respect to you.I remember seeing Strapping young Lad in Glasgow on the City tour ,Gene was very ill and had a bucket to puke in next to the kit and he never missed a beat inbetween throwin up ,a true PRO,and great guys to hang out with ,Legends

[XsavagistX]

i love how people play apologists for the drum triggers sounding like crap. "youre attacking a good drummer". doesnt mean it doesnt sound like garbage. grow up and let your heavy metal hero bullshit die.

[tractor666]

What ever ,it aint about growin up its believin in somethin you like.

[ARProductions2009]

Your gay

[senorvolasco]

I've been playing for 3 or 4 years, and it sounds very clean to me. The bass drums are a little high in the mix, but he did a fine job here.

[wosko]

why did i have to get into this band literally the month after they disbanded
