Strapping Young Lad-Love?

[terpentintrinker]

hmm that shark actually is right. the crowd sucks indeed. one reason more to love devin, he's not one of these "thank you! you rule! you're the best audience ever!"-hypocrits (even though he uses snorkle to tell it)

[MrStangus1]

He has said crazier shit than that without a shark puppet man.

[GTCGR]

how many tons does the drummer weigh?

[gojirametallica]

@GTCGR He's as heavy as the metal he plays

[lasoogneypubes]

Lmao I want to see him say that without the shark.

[iseeu1980]

Devin is a great vocalist, but even he has off days. He screams his ass off show after show so I can understand that the highest notes can be hard to hit some days. Or he could have had a cold. The screams were awesome as always though.

All great vocalists have off days

[Iznoghoul]

His voice is much better now that i doesn't smoke pot or drink anymore

[snoobs221]

my god they r even amazing live, wish i could see them live now, devin townsend forever

[gloguros]

the best growls and scream ever !! freaking amazing i love you Devin !!!!!!

[MultiTomification]

the only white man ever to completely rock the bald patch

[killdazombie]

1:56 ish. HOW is he holding that whale up?!

[xxxxBartonxxxx]

@killdazombie Gene Hoglan is one of the best metal drummers man.

[killdazombie]

@xxxxBartonxxxx no no, the chick in the crowd lol

[xxxxBartonxxxx]

@killdazombie OH LOL. my bad dude, Gene is a beast though man !

[gojirametallica]

@killdazombie what?

[xxguitardude34xx]

i fuckign love this band!!!! they are so amazing!!! keep rocking lads!!!!!

[sirdancidayi]

he is drunk.

[DMiyash248]

Devin is the only singer I know who has the balls to call a huge crowd "You Fuckin' Suck" and not get pelted and beaten up on stage. He's one brave motherfucker.

[ThomasMetal75]

The perfect heavy metal singer for today!!!! Love this blood cruddling scream!!

[thecrig666]

Is Gene Hoglan wearing ankle weights?

[ThomasMetal75]

@thecrig666 He usually does. He thinks they help him train his legs for playing faster for long periods of time.

[AnthemOfTheDevils]

His clean voice fails :(

[sylmarc]

Snorkel... Devins alter ego...

[mockingbirdred]

I saw him in August. Trust me man, there's nothing wrong with his voice... Must have been an off night.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Amazing performance, ladies and gentlemen. Hail Strapping Young Lad. Devin Towndsent is the mad scientist of metal. ALL HERE...ALL HAILS!!!!!

[killyou45]

Holy fuck this sounds amazing for bring live

[Mr360Sam]

I cant believe this is the same awesome dude who sings the album, Ghost

[culldera1]

Devin has a sick voice, and he can do it live! Nice.

[xXPackersfan1Xx]

@culldera1 Saw him about a month ago. His voice is dead now....

[cynicaldemon]

@xXPackersfan1Xx That bad?

[xXPackersfan1Xx]

@cynicaldemon Yeah man. I'm hoping it was just a bad night, because I love his music.

[Iznoghoul]

@xXPackersfan1Xx Must had bad luck, i think he had a cold at some point. Because i saw him tow times this year and both shows were amazing, vocals especially. Just listen to the Live Ep version of Kingdom, or his "ziltuska" video. He is by far the best metal singer i have ever seen live. He has power and variety of range, a great ability to switch from scream to clean, and a nice overall tone

[Kr0ml]

@Iznoghoul it does really sound like he had a cold or something, else at least the growls where better i think

[Niamorg1007]

Hilarious intro

[adamdudas1]

Strappin´young factory:D

[metalmonkey666]

Man im so glad I went to the tour, the memories.

[DankerTehLulz]

@metalmonkey666 I can not describe to you how jelly I am.

[MegaOsiris123]

~ Nice \m/ :)

[kavdeman]

i would love to destroy some motherfuckers to this song

[mikeflanny22]

This sucksssssssss! Oh godddd !!!! You deserve to die!!!

[Nimenoz]

Devin is equal to or greater than God.

[Nimenoz]

Devin is equal to, or greater than, God.

[dragonlove360]

......strapping young lad was underground in 06'?

[4merlyknownaz]

@dragonlove360 I don't know about where you live, but here in Portland we just lost our only modern rock station, not that I recall hearing SYL on a radio station at anytime.

[amusingisthedawn]

Why didn't Bruce Campbell make a cameo?

[KriegPT]

2:48 - 2:56 devin's moves are so badass... fuck yeah

[anonymouslol]

nice performance

[proaudiohd]

Thumbs down to daytime metal shows. This shit needs to be in the dark

[Zyborggian]

Those motherfuckers are PRIVILIGED to have had the chance to see Strapping live! OMFG They need to be going crazy as shit!!!!!!

[alastairmctavish]

well no shit Snorkel hates the crowd at 0:08 some guy gives him the finger

[IBZ1965]

These guys F-ing MEAN IT. God Bless 'em!

[DasBruno]

Hail the almighty Skullet, almost as awesome as Lemmy's mole

[aezeon]

4:55 'love is about CUNT."

[patrickd161]

''we'll play the single then its the only fucking thing they know from strapping''

lol

[james7636]

It's like Back to the Future." I guess you guys aren't ready for that, but your kids are going to love it."

[Kirkbride1717]

Gene is playin with what looks like Doc Martin's and fucking ankle weight's HOLY SHIT!!!

[pollywobbel]

@Kirkbride1717 i think those boots are from Dayton...i think he lives in them..

[bukk3t]

stfu fags



[NipplesMagee]

Good god that Drummer is fat.

[aezeon]

@NipplesMagee and hes been that fat owning the drums longer than youve prolly been poopin in diapers

[NipplesMagee]

@aezeon Very Novel, my friend. And thanks for pointing out the obvious, good one on ya.

[Astraios91]

Omg Gene Hoglan is a huuuuge dude.

[dimmutaker]

"well play the single then, is the only thing they know about strapping" LMAO.. The guy can insult you and making you headband in one second. Wish they would regroup and make another killer album

[CedarParkPK]

They sound like a bunch of badasses live

[otep67]

i can imagine him an 80 year old looking like that with grey hair and wrinkles screaming at kids like that to get off his lon xD

[Sekiath]

@otep67 If he did that and told me to get out of his yard, I would get the FUCK out.

[LuckyAssult]

Looks like 31 people got hit with the ugly stick, and ran over with the ugly truck.

[Entropytouch]

@LuckyAssult And dragged into ugly town on an ugly fucking pony?

[vimreepa]

@LuckyAssult bit rich coming from hevy devy, metal's ugliest musical genius

[cpcbs916]

@LuckyAssult 33 

[238FranktheTank]

i wanna see a Duett between Snorkel and Ziltoid...Would blow the Earth away because of it's Awesomeness...

[kazoorocketman54]

@238FranktheTank Oh my god, that'd be awesome XD

[Ruttomieli]

I would give some of my friends away to see SYL live. Too bad I was born like a decade too late for them... Happily I'll be able to witness Devin live, though, in about 20 days! :>

[SkyCaptain23]

i cringed so hard when he started talking to a shark

am i seirously the only person here who thought that was so gay?

[Guitarist166]

@SkyCaptain23

yeah pretty much, seems like your the only one on the boat headed for the island "metal is srs bzness"

[drmoshie]

@SkyCaptain23 yes, because you are obviously a little simple

[drumswhilegolfing101]

devin townsend does look kinda like pickles the drummer

[Kam69Infernal]

@drumswhilegolfing101 pickles the drummer was made to look like devin townsend xD

[Faus8t]

evereything that none ever imagined to play on instruments SYL played and play and will play idk better description

[voodooorc]

his balding hair looks brutal xD....

[AlxMiNeR]

HAHAHAAAAAHAHA

[AttilatheThrilla]

I Had No Clue That Ugly People Can Make Fun Of Other Ugly People For Being Ugly..

[cultofdagon]

@AttilatheThrilla I had no clue anyone starts every word with a capital letter. Ain't life just full of fun surprises?

[AttilatheThrilla]

@cultofdagon gets the point across tho dont it? haha

[pacomonkey007]

@AttilatheThrilla Snorkel isn't ugly.....

[AttilatheThrilla]

@pacomonkey007 Really? then u got some mad low standards

[pacomonkey007]

@AttilatheThrilla Snorkel rules, and I don't see how an awesome shark puppet is ugly.

[JobForAMaxboy]

@AttilatheThrilla i think it is what is more commonly known as a joke.

[AstraVex]

Thumbs up if you think Snorkel is the new Chuck Norris!

[IVIALJA]

Why is everyone hating A7X? They're not sell-outs, they make good music , with great quality, and they're funny. What's wrong with them, it's not like they've done something bad to you..

Also. All hail Snorkel!!

[dripgoss]

Imagine how many poor bastards got here looking for a "love" song. And I quoteth the master - "STICK THIS IN YOUR FUCKING CUNTS!"

[EVILWS666]

He's like 39, and more important than you are. Get over it

[TehReyMan]

Hit by the ugly stick

Run over by the ugly truck

Dragged to Uglytown with an ugly fucking pony.

OWNED!

[NOodleFISH72]

I would D.I.E. to go see a reunion show of SYL. DIE I SAY!!!!

[Darkharbinger864]

Devin Townsend is the ultimate shit of the shit haha he rocks that shit haha

[darthedvin]

wtf is in a boat?

[zalesky405]

kurwa devin wypierdala wszystko!!!!longg life lysy!!

[GhettoFighter01]

Give Dev some credit. As tired and old as he is, he's still kicking and screaming. I'm thoroughly impressed that he's able to do what he does at his age and condition. And this particular performance is pretty damn kickass IMO. Plus Snorkel made me 'lol' all over the place.

[MK4vDubbin]

@GhettoFighter01 Lol he's not THAT old man.

[KateThe666]

@GhettoFighter01 You know he was 33 when this concert was played? And now he's 39... So yeah, he's freaking old grandpa...

[GhettoFighter01]

@KateThe666 Ok, my bad I didn't know. He just looks alot older than he really is I guess. Chill lol.

[KateThe666]

@GhettoFighter01 I am chilled;)

[bloodyrockfire]

yes indeed those guys got all pretty desponsive after Devin just crushed their lacking confidence

[bloodyblade]

Song sounds better in the studio.

def didn't like any of his singing sound like metalcore sheiss.

They passed up a lot of lyrics.

but still a fucking awesome song. ^_^

[GoreSmasher]

Haha Devin is insane. He just bashed the audience through a puppet.

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

Is that Devildriver gear at 4:38?

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

AWESOME!!!!

[theaxelofrose]

anyone else notice the dude struggling to hold the fat chick at 2:37?

[spudmcgee]

i hope snorkle didnt get hurt when he got thrown.

[AstraVex]

Snorkle is the fucking Man...i mean..Shark!!

[elkkijedi]

His voice is much better nowdays

[crazedgunmanvideo]

It's hard to look badass when you're playing a keyboard... but he pulls it off. :)

[lahbl]

The guys fuckin suck. And that guy over there, you sir, got hit by the ugly stick, run over by the ugly truck, dragged to town on an ugly fuckin pony!

[MASREDO]

30 people was in that crowd

[d3fct]

nope these guys fuckin suck.... lmao syl forever....

[shagworth]

Anyone who's seen Devin live knows he bashes the audience between songs at all his shows.

[exhumer666]

Fuck, Snorkel We hate you!!! xD

[PcaKestheaod]

To bad the crowd is so unresponsive.

[tobiasdennis]

i really do miss the dirty stoner DT.

[yusifer]

Devin, you are a legend!

[KevanMayne]

Devin blatantly insults the whole crowd (and they deserved it) and they all stay for the next song, what a bunch of dumbasses

[BluesMaddy]

@KevanMayne Fuck, meant to thumbs up you man, sorry.

[Lapt3qC3r3al3]

On this song the crowd should have gone so fucking wild, like Slayer's crowds...I was expecting to see countless mosh pits, and a fuckload of pogo. The shark might be right, though he's rude.

[LPJeetkunedo]

I love how Gene's just cracking the fuck up.

[Denleavy]

Yeah Snorkle is right the crowd FUCKING SUCKS!

[nImNiMnIm666]

ahahahahahahahahahahaha

[gameboy100894]

its pretty sad when a shark puppet insults the crowd and you know its right =/

[MaleficusMonocerus89]

fuck this crowd, they need to start shattering skulls!!

[eliten0Ob]

I would be HONORED to watch S.Y.L!

Unthankful crowd, you watched a fucking group of geniuses at work!

[stewpudidiot]

Wow, that's the worst crowd i have ever seen.

[eatAdingleBerry]

this crowd does fucking suck.

[CobArchEnemy406]

wow. fuck this unappreciative crowd.

[ilovepoobs]

the crowd does suck it's like an avenged sevenfold concert lolololol

[RealRock993]

@ilovepoobs i agree a7x is nothing but sell outs now because of the death of there drummer

[GoreSmasher]

@RealRock993 Their drummer dies and it makes them sell outs? You don't even know what a sell out is. Avenged gets famous and suddenly their sell outs. Snobby music hipsters wanna keep bands in their back pockets. Avenged is one of the few true rock bands left in the mainstream. You should be glad they get recognition.

[MK4vDubbin]

@GoreSmasher IDK I thought they sucked before they got popular. Cheesy band IMO.

[bukk3t]

@ilovepoobs omg i am seriously feeling freaked out by this comment. i just last night made fun of this kid in an online computer game (sc2) when he goes "im gonna put on some avenged sevenfold" and i started making fun of him being like "fag noob lol listen to strapping young lad scrub" and the fact that you just justified my very own feeling in your highly rated comment, sickens my soul, and empowers my ownage upon all of you fags who need a lesson on what is good music and what is bad. scrubs.

[JesusStrikesBack1994]

@ilovepoobs OH GOD WHY!?!?!

[vimreepa]

@ilovepoobs yeah, how fuckin overrated are avenged sevenfold, just cuz they had a band member die. If Sevenfold and Bullet for my Valentine conceived a child I would have no qualms drowning it in the blood of real metal.

[Knochensplitter]

The problem ist.. just 3 guys of the crowd -have long hair.. :x

[Ducha2226]

crowd sux :| :| :|

[richardlpalmer]

Awesome footage! Saw him play a few weeks ago -- no more skullet, but still badass as ever! :)

[shredfella]

around 1:37 for like a few seconds devin really gives me that james hetfield vibe o.O

[LastToRemain1]

It's all about dev's skullet

[arrman92]

THUMBS UP FOR SNORKEL!! =D

[wheredarknessislight]

@arrman92 damn. 211 thumbs up as of right now. I think you win.

[kiikiu]

tune!

[karmA2q]

Gene Hoglan is a god.

as is Devin.

[tomatooverlord]

Strapping is way too good to be on sounds of the underground.

[leebone98]

lolololol these guys are hilarious!

[HG2013]

Its a Long Island crowd, are you surprised?

[StrappingyoungLad11]

SNORKEL!!!!<3

=D

[999lukey]

all hail lord gene!..pity i cant hear the bass drums :(

[cheatfuse]

Wow that crowd sucks ASS.

[jken7737]

i wish i could have seen them

[jossy2112]

Although Devin's amazing, i think Tenet is a way better band. But at the same time, they both different kind off music

[DevilVlad93]

i think i know why the crowd sucks...

if i saw Devin live, i would jizz myself and be stunned for the whole show too, so that explains the low activity in the crowd :D

[LeftDrum]

I can't hear Gene's feet. :-(

[elsauzrocks]

where this crowd come from? they suck

[demonof90]

lets play the single its the only song they know! lol devin is the shit

[TheHeavymetalpenguin]

SNORKEL THE SHARK!

[SMackay23]

where the fuck is their pit??!!!! Those fuckers should be thrashing the shit out of each other lol!! S.Y.L is fuckin insane!!!

[NavalSpecialWarfare]

thats crazy to put ankle weights, more power to him.

[ibanez2771]

2:58........ are those fucking ankle weights?

[skyskraper31]

@ibanez2771 You bet.

[rsman169]

@ibanez2771 He uses ankle weights to increase his stamina, lol.

[metalman6886]

Gene Hoglan and Devin Townsend....Beast.

[deadfordays]

so... who makes the chairs that supports there enormous drummer?

[Crimee]

on album they are brilliant. live they suck ass, seriously, just weak.

[MetalHeadFilipeG96]

@Crimee

they sound perfect live, the only difference is that Devins clean singing isnt exactly the same, but its still sounds awesome

[lkfg33]

Townsend is fuckin' genius!!! Hail to Gene Hoglan!!! \m/

[TheatreDesVamp69]

devin is the shit ...!!!

[Mollifier16616111]

CUNT DEVIN. CUNT

[richiekotzenrules]

When the crowd is lame Snorkel should spray an antique fire extinguisher on the crowd making them violently ill.
