Devin Townsend - Deadhead

[MuchasMarco]

The guitar is a strat made of wallnutt, full maple neck and has hotrails pups....lol i use one with the same specs.

[BIGSLOWPIMPNASTY]

Probably the most amazing song to come out since the 70s

[13lack1ce]

Thumbs up if you start going bald, you'll rock A Skullet!

[claptoned0]

Ugly but brilliant!

[IaMaPuRpLeSLiNkY]

@claptoned0 Devin Townsend is the sexiest man ALIVE. Don't make me come over there.

[erydiam]

Beyond death and space..... fucking amazing!!

All Hails Devin Townsend!!!

[NoSleepyhead]

This makes all the other music I listen to sound like shit

[newbohne]

I hate these comments like "62 people are dead in their heads", but how could you dislike this song? I.e. how could anyone care enough about not liking this song to vote thumbs down? I love this song and haven't given a thumbs up. Who are these people? If you've voted negatively, please contact me, I'd like to know you better, in the name of science!

[nomaddrunk]

love this song



[nonickworks]

this song is so magical, i love it. no words can describe the beauty of this masterpiece <3

[XaleManix]

On my tenth playthrough. Still can't hear Northern King's Ashes to Ashes. Not the same riff.

[r3dfiv3]

Finally got to hear this live.... OMFG the power !!!!!!!

[Jigor1987]

This song has "Gilmour 2.0" all over her. So nice!

[dzieckowemgle91]

For me this piece is very emotional. Once I had stupid Idea of suicide and I wanted to listen to some music before...and it shuffeled into this one. Then I played another and another song from few other artists and I have decided not to do anythind STUPID. This song has helped me a lot and as you can read I'm still here. (sory for my english)

[farestore]

this is one of those artists where dislike button should be removed.

[DDarkwoker]

So mesmerizing. ^^

I can write a whole novel while listening to this song, for it inspires me so much.

[ParanoidPaal]

This song is such a masterpiece. It almost makes me cry, and gives me goosebumps like crazy. <3

[MarvelousScape]

one of the greatest musicians ever

[xnalydx]

Wtf 9 minute intro my harder

[xnalydx]

I bet this song is so cool when your stoned.

[killazintrainin]

Best skullet in the game

[ma3dba3ll]

Everytime I jam this track...I imagine the bombers in ww2 dropping their payloads over the heart of the lions den....and seeing the the debris scatter the soil like that of a farmer spreading his seed.

[HammersmashedTaco]

dat emotion

[Phergan]

Living proof you don't have to be pretty to make awesome music! Because these guys are ugly as hell, and this song is fucking epic!

[Nevermore26]

Bow to the skullet!

[meccaman]

Now the rain it comes, the rain it blurs the grey line... The grey line... The Greyhound home

[kammmmmm]

WOW! That's 9 minutes of my life that I'm going to give up again. Epic tune!

[metaleer1979x]

I bet 50k of these views are from me lol

[markototev]

[FullmoonGarou]

[MlKEPORNTOY]

This dude's like the wannabe Zappa for idiot metalheads.

[ExceriusGuitar]

@MlKEPORNTOY Dude... what?

[hlokaty]

@MlKEPORNTOY Coming from someone whos tag is mikeporntoy? LOL

[TheZockbock]

@MlKEPORNTOY wannabe zappa? Idiot metalheads? Why are you on youtube listening to metal if its for idiots? Go read a book smartie pants.

[prometherion999]

you can see the inspiration from panteras song floods in this Song excellent work SKULLET KING.

[factoryfear]

I discovered Devin Townsend a few Christmases ago by listening to the Phil Spector song "Christmas (Baby Come Home)" sung by Darlene Love. This is how it went down - (1) Search for Phil Spector after listening to the Christmas song (2) Read about Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" (3) See Devin Townsend also produces music with the "Wall of Sound" technique. (4) Search Youtube for "Devin Townsend". (5) All other music sucks now.

[CyanideSovereign]

@factoryfear It's funny how the internet works like that. I disocered Acid Bath through Anal Cunt.

[johncuda]

@CyanideSovereign Amazing, I just discovered Acid Bath and bought there first album, amazing stuff.

[CyanideSovereign]

@johncuda I know, it's a shame they only made two albums.

[Imobeous]

@factoryfear Brilliant.

[bugasmike]

@factoryfear lol thats the best comment ive read in years

[newbohne]

@factoryfear I totally understand you, had the same experience with Meshuggah. Couldn't listen to any linear music for some months.

[arostiaris]

a friend on mine send me this when i told him i'm stoned.... You can imazin how i feel right now !

[fapelequeseyepuss]

@arostiaris dude, i know you were mega stoned and tripping but learn to spell :P

[arostiaris]

@fapelequeseyepuss IT DOESN'T MATTER ! I don't remember writing this post anyway..

[OhSoInsane]

He sounds like Hetfield in parts of the song eh

[mudvayne1993]

This has to be the most incredible piece of art i have ever heard in my life...WOW, who the fuck can possibly dislike this?

[TheOriginalFoobit]

i may have watched this video 50 times for the music but i just sat and actually watched it. i like how they focus on all the band members almost as much as devy. plus the drummer looks like a buff version of my buddy mike.

[FenderFM212]

he could have made this song twice as long and it would still be perfect

[Borgirl83]

Too much awesomeness!!

[brendankev]

Cant wait to see him at Soundwave 2012!!! He better Play this!

[brendankev]

My ears are bleeding but its still not loud enough!

One of the best tracks ever,

Love the Hair!

[hellodarkness666]

i came in my pants when i saw him play this live

[saigawhite308]

@hellodarkness666 gay much?

[LadyLivingDead666]

How do you spell pure unmatched talent? D-E-V-I-N T-O-W-N-S-E-N-D..

This is a 9 and a half minute orgasm...

[kyleliam8]

Listened to this on the way to work every morning this week. Fucking epic song.

[sarahwarrior21]

Better than album version

[Xfckhstl]

mmmm this is a good song to feel good to... ;-)

[Iznoghoul]

haha Ryan, Dave and Beavis all seem so young :P Especillay beav without the beard

[Hemull]

I always come back to this song, it's so heavenly... if I were to pick the worlds most perfect song then this is it hands down.

Actually I'm listening to it on my CD player right now on the Accelerated Evolution CD... and come here to comment on it, how weird is that! :)

[TheRadikaali]

Manly tears, everywhere.

[Mr005227]

This mans creativity knows no limit!

[metalpi3x]

This guy is the mozart of metal!!!!!!!!!! \m/

[danielreyraul]

Deep deep the soul you can feel it...

epic!

[IveBeenLonghorned]

such an awesome tune. must have listened to it about 100 times this week lol

[axolotl84]

love it!!

[Thatmetaldude590]

Oh shit, that screaming part from 8th minute and on gives me goosebumps. A.... Mazing.

[LovesMalediction]

Damn! Just... mind blowing!

[tanvo93]

if u kats havent already

u should check out the song of blood and salt

devin townsend does a collab with Frederik from Meshuggah and the guys from Gojira

its a pretty mindblowing creation they made

[666MetalMatt]

@tanvo93 Yeah its incredible.I remember when I first saw it...the only thing I could think is.."Wait...The god Devin townsend with Gojira and Frederik?I can now die happy!"

And then the music blew me away,listined to it constantly for a week.

[artvscience]

OMG WHY CAN'T I DISLIKE THIS MORE THAN ONCE? ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH!!!

[fixajob1]

@artvscience just turn on the radio if you want generic easy listening music.

[weatherfield57]

Long live the skullet!

[adace1]

This man is too good for the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame.

[brendankev]

Powerful Stuff!!!

[albagubrath90]

just spooged.

[Brandiumx]

omgg such emotion

[CamsLiveVideo]

The picklier the better.

[ChrirTFM]

How can this piece of awesomness only be 360p :) This belongs in 14000p :-)

[Energy1324]

WHY DO I SEE THE GOD IN THIS VIDEO?!?!?

[GabePEACE]

wow 0_0

[DIMEABBOttRiP]

This is snakes and barrels right ;)

[lalakekela]

Saw this song live last night... so fucking awesome.

[mrboombastic01]

Has to be one of the most passionate Dev songs ive seen! Amazing.

[MrDavehef]

LOVE that guitar. Hevy Devy is the shit.

[Glad1kun]

Search for unplugged version of Deadhead... It might be even better than this.

[TMF58]

Man, I do miss Dev's hair.

[michaelwtapp]

Now that's a man truly expressing himself. 

[JamesPierreFleuriot]

Thumbs up if you're a Devhead ; )

[MainlyNo]

This song gives me goosebumps each time I hear it... But I have to say... after seening it live on Metaltown 2011... This song cuts right thru me!

[rstkam]

The soundtrack to some of the hardest moments in the my life...

[IvyGardenOfTheDesert]

MY GOD!!! DID I LISTEN TO A GLIMPSE OF THE BEST ROCK OF ALL TIMES???

I CAN ANSWER ME BY MYSELF....

YES I DID!

[TomBandfield]

Only Dev could pull off that haircut... :P

Fucking mind blowing tune, in fact, so good that I'm gonna listen to it again :D

[herbalh]

holy shit, half a million plays

[deadtissue]

Check out Stone Roses - Second Coming.

[savage99xxx]

is this the best tune ever made i think so

[tulanderio]

this man is just incredible... one of the music gods of our times... but it's a shame the fact he's such of an underrated musician.... fuck you bieber!

[mURDErfAceD402]

This is fuckin cool! Part of the song reminds me of (change in the house of flies) but it has its own feel to it and i really dig it.

[RobNickel001]

ssssssssssmokin!

[macadoolahicky]

Wtf is up with the highest rated comments

[WECification]

Is this song on any of his albums?

[markototev]

@WECification yes - Accelerated Evolution

[artvscience]

@markototev omg WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE????????? I THINK I NEED TO DISINFECT MY EARS!!!!!!!!!!!

[liltortillaboy17]

riff starting at 1:27 fuckin awesome \m/

[BuckyBrownEye]

This is absolute crap, my bowels have passed better shit than this... but his skullet is truly an amazing achievement.

[0xxdamnedxx0]

@BuckyBrownEye fuck off buckybrowneye

[wesnilevirus77]

lmao what retard said that this is shit THEN suggested he go listen to BFMV?!?!?!? shoot yourself.....become a literal deadhead

townsend is what music has always and will always need

[smoothboner]

his boner is smooooth

[Caarah]

Impressive

[JeffreyMulac8]

One of the coolest prog-metal- heavy-spacey songs ever written. Look at the commentary. Like a mystical experience for many. Devin is such a master of emotion, humor, and metal power. Rock on!

[Phergan]

Anyone got some proper lyrics? The ones that i found on the net must be bullshit. Must be. :b

[Caitlynlovesyooh]

Good Song. Lovely Song To Fall Asleep To :D

[MrLiam123]

Devin's fucking lucky to have that image that fits him both into the 'METAL' category and the 'hippy trippy shit' category that starts the song.

[cinemetalproductions]

@avianskies101 I'm pretty sure its progressive metal but I also consider it good music lmao

[terranon01]

i keep forgetting i already favoritted this song 4 years ago :D

[Yakitori25]

Oh my god.. Never heard something like that before. :O

[bugasmike]

@AnotherDyingGod because @devidia is no more then a useless troll to this world

[bugasmike]

stop arguing over genres this is progressive music  and its beyond amazing. leave it at that.

[vonPickles]

Duh....of course...PICKLES!!!!

[jonjon20106]

I seen devin in louisville and he played this I fucking fell in love with this damn I love these guys

[nathanaaronray]

So I'm listening to this song and while I'm doing this my thoughts bring me to a whole new plane exceeding the borders of reality. I'm enjoying myself and I feel really good and just at the peak of this euphoria my little brother walks in from football practice and slams the door behind him then starts hitting piano keys in seemingly no pattern or rhythmic significance. All I can think to myself is I must kill him for ruining my fantasia.

[XDoomriderX]

If DT is a genius as stated in the description then I am a GOD with a genius mind.

[MitchMcMetal]

@XDoomriderX .....nnnaaaahhh....

[InfestedChris]

Never seen a bald guy with so much hair besides Hulk Hogan lol.

[Arcenicum]

All his genes are used to make him a virtuoso. You can see this from the lack of genes used for his hair.

[nasum1980]

57 people are Justin Bieber fans

[Irish0400]

@nasum1980 That's so clever... Seriously, NEVER heard that one before...

[buriedbeneath56665]

FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD...  SIMPLY GENIUS.

[Ominous09]

PICKLES!

[Desmigalhation]

@leopower7 ---» ze braslero!

[SapphireSkies1976]

Magnificent band, thanks for uploading

[Tomeq79]

He looks like John Malkovic hehe

[RangerMcDanger357]

@Tomeq79 in the words of Ziltoid... "Indeed!"

[anolaf]

@avianskies101 It's Devin Townsend! Anyone that's heard much of his stuff knows that that's a category of its own.

[mykchap]

@avianskies101 Agreed \m/

[mykchap]

@avianskies101 :D

[mykchap]

@avianskies101 But but but... It has to be categorised so I know how to dress and how to accessorise and how to wear my hair and how to spend my free time and which kind of people I should be hanging out with...

[deadtissue]

@mykchap What you said is pretty serious a problem these days. First Metal concert I went to I had hope that it would be a place where everyone just loves metal, but I was in for a big surprise when I discovered that everyone was bothered about proving his/her right to be there, and majority were part of a group, there were very few people who came alone for the show.

[mykchap]

@deadtissue I hear you. I have read concert reviews written by people who spent a good paragraph or two just complaining about the new fans who only started listening to the band since they had a single on the radio. There is only one way to deal with people like that. Smile and wish them a happy day. :D

[violatorut2003]

Whoever doesn't like this isn't human

[Sqaszek]

Epic song but isn't it Wish you were here on overdrive...?

[aznkriss133]

PICKLES?

[GoodFortuneOfficial]

How the hack do you get such a beautiful guitar sound.. (Intro). My god. <3

[SinisterSkip]

One of the slowest yet most intense songs of alltime. Amazing!

[Ennox81]

*shivers*

[devidia]

@AnotherDyingGod then everyone on youtube seeks attention? i don't think thats the case. I just posted my opinion, not expecting a reaction, ready to forget all about this

[xGSxMayhem94]

god this song fucks me up. lmao

[torturedbowl]

this sounds better when you kneel before it....

[Mollifier16616111]

8:21 is sooooooo fucking awesome

[arkee71]

Master Of Skullets

[devidia]

wow this sucks

[emu69emu]

@devidia lol, look 4 attention much?? hehe, goin to respond with anger are we. muhahaha

[devidia]

@emu69emu naah, i just think it sucks, no more, no less

[64stinker]

@avianskies101

fucking good music



[gusanitosenbatalla]

@avianskies101 FUCK YEAH!!

[shrewmole2002]

Just wanted to let you know I did buy the Synchestra album with the dvd. OH MY GOD the whole dvd is fucking amazing!!

[Talenmentius]

This is what it would sound like if god played a guitar.

[GuitarArmy95]

It's so metal to keep your hair long even if you're losing it!

[butterknucklez]

strats actually sound good

to bad they arent as br00t41 as bc rich though

i mean kerry king plays bc rich, they gotta be good right

[snakeweirdo]

@butterknucklez They look boring though.

[rakatika]

@snakeweirdo I saw them live in Orlando. They weren't the main event but they stole the show hands down. Devin and is band are entertaining as fuck.

[willygfromdahood]

@rakatika Same here. He dominated in Atlanta, even though Children of Boredom were headlining. Fucking killed it. Made some awesome faces, too

[rakatika]

@willygfromdahood In the middle of rocking out and melting faces he took out his nipple and started playing with it. So fucking hilarious.

[F4TB0Y69]

@butterknucklez to be honest i own two BC Rich's including KKs sig, and a Bich, but i still prefer my Strat everytime, notice the pickups have been switched, pre sure he is using DiMarzios in that, i would try before you buy with BC is all im saying, each to their own, Jackson or Schecter are companies to look into or if you have loads of cash to throw about Suhr or Caparison, they are all good =]

[butterknucklez]

@F4TB0Y69 ohh i was being sarcastic haha

[F4TB0Y69]

@butterknucklez lol well man, Strats are very good with the right pickups in them, and some decent wood in them (theamerican ones preferably) but yeah BCs i own two ad i dontuse them anymore, I use my Les Paul Gibson more than anything, well man was friendly advice, BCs arent my fav either =]

[halomoon100]

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffff

[jonjon20106]

Damn I love this tune just fuckin Great!!!!!

[devvilboyy676767]

this is back when Devin used to make shitty Fenders sound like Schecters and Ibanezeesseses

[5stringsattached]

@devvilboyy676767  LOL

[emptycookiejar1]

Devin is master at making deep, layered, powerful and incredibly emotional music, no matter the genre in which it may be. Also a skilled guitarist to boot.

[Deepwatertiger]

Does anyone know if that is a Shure SM7 mic he is using. I've heard that those mics are great for recording vocals and handling screams well. I'd trust any and every single peice of gear devin uses in the studio. Such a talented producer. 

[Rrrrobbo]

@Deepwatertiger Looks like it to me! Hard to tell though, I was under the impression that on some of the strapping at least he used some type of AKG C414 for vocals though

[Rrrrobbo]

actually yeah if you watch the making of alien part 2, and go to 8:10 you can see dev recording some vocals and he has an SM7(b?) and some type of C414
