  • This mans scream is pure fire. God damn.

  • 1:36 the tits start here

  • the better version of COB

  • This keeps me sane

  • the beat starts here -> 0:05

  • i've got a friend that prefers static x over this. what the hell is wrong with him?

  • Hey guys, I'm trying to find where the beat starts, can somebody help me out?

  • dude, gene holgan is fucking badass!!!

  • Wow, there's actually some hot chicks...quite a few...I'm moving to Canada!

  • gene hoglan is one sick mother fucker

  • anyone who hates any music from this dude is a certified douche bag

  • @bugasmike i agree, moral and taste-wise

  • Devin needs to go back to being a long haired psycho and bring back Strapping! Deconstruction makes me sad.

  • @Bryso69 I agree mate, I miss the sounds of city and alien, devins new stuff is just too much to digest for me, I prefered it when he made full out thrash death/industrial metal or atmospheric bliss such as terria.

  • @jestervision595 Have to say as well,that i miss Alien so much more.But Deconstruction and Ghost are both incredible.Also love all the guest on Deconstruction..Joe Duplantier and Ihsahn mostly.Lots of good stuff.

  • @Bryso69 Deconstruction, IMO, is fucking awesome, but he needs to get his old look back, indeed!

  • @Bryso69 SYL ran its course.. for now...

  • @Bryso69 It's artistic growth dude. He's just not that guy anymore. It'd be a shame to see such a unique individual try to be something he's not.

    I personally love Deconstruction and Ghost.

  • @Bryso69

    He looked like a psycho with that skullet of his, but in an interview he said it had effect negative on his sex life lol, so it had to go away

  • @Bryso69 He won't. He said during an interview that at his age (39) he hasn't got the energy to reform SYL anymore. But you can still hope for the long hair ;)

  • @Bryso69 I like strapping, but don't you like the fact dev's sober and making epic music and making something bigger than Strapping?

  • @6969coprophagist6969 what do you mean by bigger than Strapping?

  • @Bryso69 musicians evolve

  • @Bryso69 I don't want to sound like a faggot queer homosexual fanboy. But when it comes to Devin I am. So what? I get an erection from him. I support any decision he makes. I like his music. I actually buy his music.

  • @AjfromDamons i hate to sound like a fanboy too but.. you better fight me for him :P

  • @Bryso69 I don't agree... I like SYL, but Devin Townsend is too much better... Devin is very original, the first time I heard his music I didn't like, but now I think it's mind blowing...

  • @Bryso69 i some how don't think he'll be going back to being long hair, he's looking pretty damn bald these days

  • such a pity SYL had to quit.

  • Where does the beat start? Awesome...

  • Devin's vocals are demonous

  • LOVE SONG !

  • holy lord Gene Hoglan isn't human..double kick master

  • @jestervision595 Oh haha sir. Let's

    make racist jokes.

  • @Wabaanimkii Im obviously mistake then, because I cannot see a video with monkeys fucking... so you left me no other choice than to guess, I have deleted it so not to offend you.. maybe you were on a kfc video or something which is why it was related to that

  • Anyone notice that there is a video of monkeys fucking in a related video?

    Why?

  • Thumbs up for new detector here!

    WINTER WRAP UP WINTER WRAP UP

    LET'S FINISH OUR HOLIDAY CHEER

    WINTER WRAP UP WINTER WRAP UP

    CAUSE TOMORROW SPRING IS HERE!

  • Super hard, fast, and Zintsy! The best ever! U rock!

  • The beat starts here.

  • 4 people are wine sipping communist dicksucks

  • skuletts rule...LOL

  • Arch enemy? Fear factory? Meshuggah? Yeah, they're cool.

    But Strapping Young Lad was always the best.

  • 0:19

    Ron Jeremy WTF?

  • @JigSawIsTestingYou Thats Gene Hoglan you asshole

  • @KageegeeDJ You're fucking stupid if you didn't understand that joke. Nice to know you don't have a sense of humor, idiot. ;]

  • @JigSawIsTestingYou You dont joke about Gene (or ron for that matter)

  • @KageegeeDJ Well I just did. Go be a keyboard warrior somewhere else, if you can't handle a joke then you must be a arrogant dick when you're friends are around.

  • @JigSawIsTestingYou Trollface.jpg

  • HEAVY

  • 0:57 BHAHAHAHA!

  • i was always wondering... hoglan is a really fat bastard... but he is fucking machine gun... with really good stamina...

  • @uxy1 he fucking smokes weed like a boss too

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen he quit smoking

  • @chopshark2 not 5 years ago.

  • Devin is genius

  • it makes me cry how much the first part of this song reminded me of death

  • @jestervision595 haha this drummer is officially my new hero

  • thats the most BRUTAL 2:35 seconds ever \m/

  • @psychohatchet1978 2,35 secs, sure...

    retard

  • @Sniffler09 ... sorry, what's your problem with what he said?

  • @ska2808 It's called minutes you ignorant fuck

  • @Sniffler09 Oh come on! That's seriously all you had a problem with?! It's such a minor error on a YouTube comment, and you call him a retard for it?

    Well, in that case, go fuck yourself, you miserable cunt.

  • @ska2808 You don't seem to be much better calling me a cunt because i called someone totally different a retard :D

    oh burn

  • @Sniffler09 If you don't treat me (or anyone else) with respect, why do you expect to treated respectfully? I was just defending someone against your unnecessarily rude comments - my comments are 100% necessary.

  • man i tell ya ive played guitar for 10 years and i feel like i wanna try the drums gene is just a machine hes like sponge bob on the grill you just cant stop him

  • One of the most underrated bands out there. Gene is the man and Devin Owns! Hell, the whole fuckin band is crazy! SYL is unstoppable no matter how you look at them!

  • \m/\m/ Devin please come back to us after you sort out this mid life musical crisis your in now.

  • other than the intro....this is live? wow! good sound guy obviously...aka the live tracks on TOOL's OPIATE... very clear.

    damn you devin! whyd i miss your recent visit to oz?

  • one of the best metal drummer ever :P .. where does the beat start?? xD \m/

  • shit this is intense

  • 1 minute 20 onwards is utter chaos!

  • Gene is the man, it's like watching Jabba the hut on drums!!!

  •  genius!

  • that's some extreme riffing

  • Gene owns the drums on that one!

  • @jizzmack Gene owns all the time. The fucking Micheal Jordan of drums!

  • SYL is the most brutal band ever. Nothing can come close.

  • omg...SYL kills all!

  • Gene Hoglan's feet need to be enshrined by primitive tribes

  • WHERE DOES THE BEAT START!! the beat starts here. AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @jestervision595 He also wrote alot of the riffs.

  • When they first start, omg. I couldn't believe they were "shredding". All I heard was kickass bassing.

  • I love the fact that every time Gene Hoglan is shown drumming, he always has that expression like "I know, I'm fucking awesome. You all can suck it".

  • @TheBoomdooger he's looking at the kick trigger indicator on his module.

  • yeah i bought this dvd, love how theres no guitars in the mix!

  • Love how everything's wired. Drums especially sound amazing.

  • im the biggest children of bodom fan ever, then strapping right behind them. but you cant compare them they're too different.

    bodom is all shredding and harmonies, SYL is all about how heavy it can possibly get, which is why devins such a fucking god!

    everyone has an opinion and i think these are two of the best bands ever!

  • @chopshark2 Name one COB song that can stand up to a song like DETOX.

  • @ecaepevolhturt Asshole i just gave you a whole write up of how you cant compare the two bands. go fuck yourself

  • @chopshark2 Chill out dude, so much anger, I didn't mean to offend you. You can compare anything, strawberry jam and peanut butter, existentialism and buddhism, COB and SYL, it's all a matter of taste. What, in your opinion, is the best COB song?

  • thank you gene hoglan for being a fucking awesome drummer

  • Love the music, can't stand the guy's voice.

  • Devin = Monster !

  • Wow, good music playing, and the crowd is just standing there, doing nothing? I'd be pissed after performing there.

  • he sings or(screams) this song really well :D

  • There's nothing wrong with COB... Follow the Reaper is one of the finest examples of Melo-death ever. Though how you would think of comparing COB to Strapping in the first place is beyond me. Both very different types of metal.

  • COB have lost all chances of even being near SYL since they went -core.

    Fuck they suck now.

  • Best part is at 0:00 - 2:35

  • @Someone132435

    as i looked on you comment i first laughed, than i saw how short the video is and i was sad

  • COB will NEVER be as good as SYL. NEVER!

  • @KeiranPearce Hahaha, their old stuff was pretty good.

  • @KeiranPearce stfu .. its fucking different.. devin is fucking awesome and original.. alexi make good music too

  • @AlxMiNeR Pfft. Alexi makes music....so that every song sounds the same.

  • @KeiranPearce Isn't that sort of self-explanatory?

  • @Bollehamsteren Indeed it is

  • @KeiranPearce i wish i could thumbs up your comment a thousand times

  • @stygian616 Cheers man

  • @KeiranPearce Why would you ever put those two bands in the same sentence I hope you die of a ruptured anus.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen I hope you will repeatedly piss yourself for referring to me acquiring a ruptured anus. That is all.

  • @KeiranPearce At least I don't even put those fags on the same level as Strapping. Go listen to your nuhardcore with your COB and In Flames and Atreyu.

  • @FickJaIchLiebeKiffen Facepalm. Read my comment you incompetent child. I do not like COB (or any of the other bands quoted), nor will I ever. And as the comment originally said. COB suck is the basic gist of it. I was demoralising the band, therefor I was no where near putting them on the same level.

  • @KeiranPearce Man I don't give a fuck I'm so baked. But still, purge COB from your mental realm of things and doohickeys, for that is only grasping onto the foul stool that hot topicore is breeding. Shieeeit bitch. It's 9am lol

  • @KeiranPearce WHO THE FUCK COMPARES SYL WITH ANY OTHER BANDS???

  • @MicaPussyOwner I think you missed the point 8 months ago tbh.... Where there were a bunch of fan boys going on about Children of Bullshit. Hence my comment.

  • @KeiranPearce you are right, but still pisses me off. what stupid people

  • @KeiranPearce ,,,u dont know what the hell ur talking about... maybe with the heavyness but when its comes to meledy and solos COB WILL KICK THERE ASS ,,i mean i have great respect for both bands but really come on man u should know better

  • @drummerkid28 NO. Clearly you do not know what you are talking about.. I cannot say Alexi is a shit guitarist because he isnt. BUT every song sounds the same from the band. Now SYL have a 100 time better song structure and composition. Being technical and waving your willy about because you can sweep 24/7 doesnt make a good song or a band really good.

  • @KeiranPearce yeah whatever man if u clearly listen syl really all sounds the same song from sound but cobs songs change and have differnt rythem and melidey and but this band is just stairght beats non stop

  • @drummerkid28 You cannot say each COB song changes at all. Its just 'hai guise lets play this really fast for about 8bars, then add some fake crowd chants, ill sweep epically we'll harmonise it too' Its as if they put no thought into composing their songs at all. They dont diversitise anything what so ever. I might aswell just copied and pasted my last comment again. COB will never reach the musical level of SYL. Hoglan will piss on Raatikainen any day aswell. That is all.

  • @KeiranPearce take it easy...cob is fucking awsome and i wouldnt be listening to SYL if it wasnt for them or any metal for that matter....by the way trolling about another band on an syl video...lame

  • @69stringibanez Again someone who is about 9 months too late and missed the whole point.

  • @KeiranPearce If the point was that your a douche I didn't miss it

  • @69stringibanez Paha

  • @KeiranPearce Totally never-fucking-ever. SYL eats them alive.

  • Townsend is such a beast lol

  • @chrismortloch92 Seeing as Strapping influenced Bodom in their later years, that's not surprising.

  • i think that only the vocals reminds a lilttle bodom..

  • Then you need more SYL, and less COB.

  • big greta at 2:08

  • 2:25 .. I came

  • vox at 1:07 is just godlike :]

  • wowowow, I hear BASS!

  • Devin - The Monster !!!!!!!!

  • i really hate that they have broken up :(

    he's getting too old maybe.. :(

    SYL forever!

  • Check out his new solo albums, one of the forthcoming albums, Deconstruction I believe, is supposed to be a lot like SYL in terms of sound.

  • "i'd love some fucking guitar" haha. that means turn up the monitor for him to hear himself for all you crazies who don't get it.

  • Holy shit almighty. This song blew my brains out on to the back of my chair.

  • So fucking hilarious. I own the shirt the drummer is wearing, and so does cole sprouse from The Suite Life with Zach and Cody. I saw him on the show with it. Must be popular.

  • haha I love Gene hoglan's face at like 0:51-0:54, its just like "Yeah yeah yeah, complex rythyms blast beats double bass triplets, perfection...yawn whatever" hahah

  • I'm pretty sure he lets out a fart meanwhile as well. It's one of the hardest things you can do while playing shit like this^^

  • @x101proofchaosx LOOOOL

  • @x101proofchaosx hoglan = zen =)

  • @x101proofchaosx He's my hero :)

  • that scream at 0:35...HevyDevy is the greatest musician of our time. His extensive catalog of everything from death metal to pop to prog to ambient is fucking unparalleled.

  • arnt they just on hiatus, i dont think theyve offically broken up have they? sad if they have but, i never got to see em live :(

  • @ThaFrozenOne I'm sure they'll be back at some point, probably not for a good few years though.

  • WHERE DOES THE BEAT START?! - the beat starts here - AAAA

    Man I love that intro xD

  • There is no way Gene Hoglan is a normal human being...He is undoubtedly a genetically engineered superdrummer

  • ...now raping drums for FF :D

  • Devin is the man.

  • best band ever

    City = best fucking album ever

  • this guy kicks some fuckin ass!!!!

  • best screams and vocal in fuckin music

  • These guyes are awsome!!! its sad they dont exist anymore.

  • Best band, best drummer, very cool

  • man. this is the shit.

  • Vancouver knows how to fucking rock!

  • was this drummer in Dark Angel?

  • Gene Hoglan

  • @MrMetalhead39 he was in death too if i remember well :P

  • @MrMetalhead39 and fear factory

  • yea guitars are really low! otherwise amazing vid

  • Omfg Devin's screams are super fucking awesome. SYL will surely be the music played when the world ends! Fuck yeah :D

  • as long as they reunite

  • The drummer is super tight and also was so in previous bands.

    Probably appreciates copious amounts of shepherd's pie and crisps.

  • Who doesnt appreciate copious amounts of shepherd's pie & crisps lol.

  • hahaha, quality comment.

  • AHAHAH

    I lold hard at the keyboard player

  • guitars are too low...bass drums sound like synth =/

  • Progressive is a good way to describe thier sound, cuz nothing else sounds like it and it is paving a new wave as far as i am concerned and the rest of music needs to keep up!

  • i've never found them to be very death metal but this changed that idea

  • Well, they really aren't death metal. they're more like progressive heavy metal with industrial influences if you ask me. I think their band sounds a lot better than most of the ridiculous death metal bands now-a-days.

  • they are not progressive nor death metal

    they are just devy fuckin metal!

  • Awesome vid! That drummer kicks azz!! He made it look so easy by showing no strain. I wonder if he was thinking about a bag of chips and a chicken leg the whole time?

  • Comment removed

  • @cannonmaker: it's easy for him because he is gene holgan. y'know, played for death? y'need to learn your stuff man.

  • I could care less who it was... I was just stating that he made it look easy. Besides, was I asking?

  • simply one of the best metal band ever

  • no idiot...here lol
