2003 Devin Townsend interview

[mangosnake]

God he looks so tired...

Glad he's back, full force !

[capillarian187]

There needs to be a biopic made about Devin... while he's still around! Though maybe it should wait until he's released all 4 albums with DTP. He's achieved so much for a 37 year old!

[bokma7]

Musical genius.

You got that right

[fairley117]

Really, is there a cooler guy in metal than Devin

[ChimChimandChimaira]

I agree with you, man. Devin Townsend is the balls! He makes modern metal fucking great and irrisistable!

[VelvetKev0rkian]

is there a cooler guy than devin period?

[Bumblestick]

yeah...

....devin townsend.

[TheFamousJules]

if people were able to grasp it, sounds kinda funny:P but i really mean it! But again, wouldn´ t be really cool if all people in the world allsays weared headphones and listening to deve. And no! it´ s not the only thing i care about, just so you know :)

[TheFamousJules]

That effort he puts into the music is just incredible insane! Take ocean machine witch is so deep and fasceted(can´ t spell) that nothing else is compareable in any sort of ways! And you gotta be some kind of (not right in the head) to make such music! The guy can fucking change the world with that music!

[rxqueenbeemarie]

Fuck Yes

I want his babies... Plural!

[ShadowedParadox]

hmm he actually looks quite attractive here.... SYL are awesome ... he seems really quite vulnerable in a way... hmm bt then again im wondering wether some of what he said is in his own way indirectly laughing at the whole interview lol

[Neogothic]

basically

DEVIN TOWNSEND IS AN ABSOLUTE FRIKKEN GOD!!

[ZiniNkenaki]

What you have to realize is that We're all ugly, but Devin is the best looking Mofo in here.

[mostritegod]

Damn. Was he just like skulking around in the dark when they came to interview him? I see one light, and it's probably mounted on the camera. No wonder he was depressed...turn a light on, dude! Dev is one of my all time favs. It seems sometimes like artists, especially metal guys, with a lot of talent have a hard time lightening up. They have so much passion and energy put into their work, it's like it leaves them drained. But that's why we love them. They give it all away to the fans.

[invertedchords]

I'd s@y the best music comes from depression. t@ke devins ''The de@th of music'' th@ts prob@bly @ depressed driven tune.

[TheRealFatassFilms]

I can't take anything you say seriously because you use @'s instead of a's.

[invertedchords]

keyboards broken. but ive only just found out i can paste text by use of ctrl+v

[NE14ABJ2DAY]

I'd love to know Y people piss and moan about how others write their sentences, you write how you want to m8! lol

[123JoeD456]

Y|3@|-| KyuD |\|02 @ggggggw3 m0000r \/\/ 1 D u!

[NE14ABJ2DAY]

Lol well put

[Neogothic]

Anyone notice how Devin uses the phrase "as a result of that" a hell of a lot? XD

He's still fucking legendary and I'm really sad I never got to see SYL or DTB live ;_;

[666aumetaldrummer666]

Thats fucking funny he does huh....

Strapping OWNS on stage, especially the Alien tour......

[DrumGit89]

damn, Devin Townsend looked really tired on this interview :s

[d809]

I think he may be a bit depressive, it's part of his bipolar disorder :(

[Dravensdmf]

perseverence. such modesty. perseverence and BAG LOADS of talent.

[EquusPL]

If I ever have to face male pattern baldness, I'm gonna wear skullet just like Devin does.

[parquar]

Skullet. Totally Bad-Ass

[vejo33]

his lifestyle kinda makes me pitty my own :S he's a bonafide badass though :)

[hughlaw1]

lol devin towndend is funny as fuck on stage he rocks!!!

[Shitheadshred]

thats the key, not caring too much

[Ckantor420]

i was in the local gas station yesterday and he was in there too, thought it was pretty cool i didnt want to approach him or anything had to give him that respect lol

[guitarplayeraustin]

where? vancouver? probaly.

[Ckantor420]

haha devin lives down the road from me

[acisminiman13]

for real?

[kirsh]

Can i be you?

[guitarplayeraustin]

nice.

[syaoranchic]

he's so awesome. Does anyone know when he's touring again? I missed DTB with Opeth :(.

[PureMetalDrummer15]

Devin announced the SYL and DTB are over now. But I think they'll come back, But who knows when.

[Blackspires]

I dont there over. Didnt he say he wanted a break from the touring or something to that effect?

[jizmanjenkins]

where and when did they play together?!

[syaoranchic]

i know. It was like ...last year? 2006 I think? I got so excited when I heard about it, then realized the articles I was reading was for last year. That would have been my favorite show ever.

Anyways, if anyone deserves a break, it's Devin. He's gotta be like... the most productive musician ever.

[sirloin1358]

i think he might be touring this year (after he releases his new album).

[Lolpezatron]

Here's my input: "senseless babble"

[l3mm1w1nk5]

my name is devin lol. i like strapping young lad

[Rumpmanglarn]

He's such an interesting guy. Im a pround owner of all the albums but i havent seen him live yet : /

[AlphaSerpentis22]

I think he's adorable, and his music, is fucking.. orgasmic :]

[nightmarrr]

I`m in love whit Devin Townsend. I really am.

[nightmarrr]

I`m in love with Devin Townsend. i really am

[maddearth]

devin townsend is GOD!!

[mrbjesus]

you ppl need to appriciate what Devin's music is really all about....so what if hes ugly?? at least hes got a fucking band! Heres some advice. Shut the fuck up and listen to his music, and if you cant appriciate his (ahem) GENIUS STYLE OF MUSIC. then just shut your fuckin mouth about him!! I not bitching at you guyz at all...you just need to listen to his music before you jump to rationalizations!

[fredagoba]

Devin's MY god understood?

Love you man :)

[AricioRg]

Devin kicks ass.

[Scottishmusician]

"hes fuckin ugly too" - Proof, if ever it was needed, that some of the people who post on YouTube really seem to unknowingly scrape the barrel for something to bitch about (yes, I recognise the irony in me posting such a complaint). Anyhoo, Devin's a trouble guy, not everyone seems to realise that. \m/

[Hatestylist]

Devin is deliciously deranged. All Hail the Dev!!!

[paddywhack69]

man i never imagined him sounding like that in person.

[tommyk77]

devin was good with vai but i only like LOVE? by S.L.Y. hes fuckin ugly too

[drumdilly]

and your cute? freaking idiot

[tommyk77]

why does tht make me an idiot?

[spikeyes]

HEVY DEVY IS GOD

[rutherk1]

Hell yeah he f'n sucks. Even his girlfriend f'n sucks.

[snowboarder54321]

I hate you.. really

[rutherk1]

I dont understand? Why? What I posted was just some of his lyrics from the "New Black"

[TheRedComa]

You can tell who the 'real' fan is here, doesn't even know the lyrics, haha.

[cainarrieta]

Wacka!Wacka!Wacka!Wacka!Wacka! devin Garret Townsend  es sorprendente, su trabajo es impactante de principo a fin desde DTB hasta SYL. I'm a big fan, is great devin's forever.

[Matt2112RM]

Not a fan of SYL, fan of DTB...

[digitaldebaser]

Wow. Devin and I share some qualities as stage musicians. I always thought playing the same set was boring and dumb, so I'd get drunk and act like a psychopath to entertain myself. You want CD quality of the band? Buy a CD!

[DevinTuschhoff]

Very intelligent human i think ! I would like to meet him and talk about ice cream ;) !

[IndustrialStorm]

Devin Townsend is God.

[solidguitare]

hell yeah he fuckin' sucks !!!

[PaXx]

Devin owns!

[k1au5]

If Fudgeya isn't a fan, why does he post comments on almost every Dev video I've watched on here? I hate UnderOATH, so I won't seek out their videos and post inane, nonsensical ramblings about them. If you're not a fan, why bother coming around to spew out a bunch on negativity? Now get down and suck my buddy's cock.

[Fudgeya]

Dude, shut the fuck up. I'm not even a fan of this guy

[Mantisdude]

so.. how come u watch it then! stupid moyhter f....

[untroubled]

Nah, I wouldn't put it like that. He says it is to him, so what's the big deal about an opinion? And about the shows, maybe he feels bored in some way, why judge that? It can be a result of his disorder he suffers from as well. Get real Fudgeya, I thinkg you're on slippery ice.

[Fudgeya]

I'm not a big fan, I respect Devin's musicianship. I was impressed with this interview until he brought up how he doesn't give a shit about shows and I wasn't quite sure what he was getting at about people who have three kids and a ranch out in the country. Sounds like an okay life to me. He's just bipolar I guess

[ArcaneDemesne]

He didn't say he doesn't give a shit about shows. He just said he gets bored out of his mind. I can vouch for that. After so many shows, it gets monotonous.

[CodMetalKing]

yeah its wierd, "doesnt give a shit about shows" yet if you've ever seen this motherfucker play live youd swear that he puts every ounce of energy in his body into it. devin is a true musician and i have all teh respect in the world for him

METAAAAAAAAL!

and strapping young lad rocks my hairy anus

[incassiana]

Dev!

[Mrpeumo]

Dev is one of the most amazing musicians of our time, he really kick asses with Strapping and his solo realeses! DEVIN RULES!

[impamiizgraa]

hahahaha

[syphe101]

Funny, at his age, and with he success as he puts it, I wonder why he is still so spiteful? He seems angry still about something from a long time ago.

[standardbearer]

Maybe he's angry bcouse of this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=lIdEP590Rc0&mode=related&sear­ch=

:D

[finowa]

i'm seeing him in a week<3

[SteveFeces]

devin townsend ftw

[dalisman]

I wanna be like him when I finally reach his age...in, uh, about 2 years.

[superhydroyeast]

is it me, or do we all worship Devin?....meh...who cares, DEV DEV DEV DEV DEV!!!!!!!

[corpsegrinderfisher]

he reminds me of me by not having much eye contact and that sorta crap, hes such a cool dude

[Antoneey]

He's so different off-stage.. Real interesting personality too. 'I don't care I REALLY don't care'.. definatly a philosophy I've interepreted in my own way too.

Devin is the fuckin' monster of Metal!

Thanks for put this on dude!

[BibleBasher1108]

I love HEAVY DEVY
