For sure, but this version has crazy audio quality, it's sorta bad but hell those bass drops are crunchy af, even with this quality you can still get the gist of the video too 👌
@@lewissavaidis I swear, back when MTV2 was still playing Headbangers Ball, this exact version was being played there. Every song had audio favoring the left side...
I felt the need to leave a comment. One of my best friends, my little brother, a piece of me, introduced me to this song about 10 years ago. Since then, ive become a fan of most of Devins projects. Poke (Ian) died last year of diabetes complications. One of the rare occasions that I cried. Under my sociopathic urges and projections, I lost a bit of me that was real and ill never get it back. Everytime I go home, every nook and corner that we filled will be empty to me. He was one of my favorite human beings. Ill never be able to tell him that I love him again. I will however have this piece of music to remember and cherish our friendship. I miss you dude, you were my family. Where ever the fuck you are, I hope you and Sir Mix Alot are tearing those fatties up. Rest in piece bro and thanks for all of the culture I would have missed, this band included, had you not put them in front of me. RIP Le Finger. You are missed.
It's absolutely insane how he has consistently released great albums for decades. Some artists strive for one single great record, and Devin just keeps releasing them without a single drop of sweat on his shiny, beautiful, brilliant, bald head
i dont think he does it effortlessly. He talks about it in Japanese version of Transcendence, can't remember the song rigt now, but its awesome@@silverblood9456
Just heard of them through Spotify and holy fuck this album just became one of my all time favorites! Why hasn't the whole world heard of them yet? This is strength to the max!
@@darrennoble1474 sorry but no. Devin is on a way higher level of range and control. I really like Will and LS but you are about to compare a single LP and EP to over 20 LP‘s of know-how.
Man I wish they had more tunes like this. The sound is just amazing, like skesis as well. Heavy, melodic, and just straight in your face, yet simple. And his vocals are amazing here.
He’s probably the best that I’ve ever seen live. Gavin Harrison and Dave Lombardo also 🤘🏻Brann Dailor is a definite mention. Unfortunately, I never saw Kenneth Schalk from Candiria or Tomas Haake from Meshuggah.
You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves. ;) Now go out and buy this album immediately. The production quality is so much better and even more colossal. The entire SYL discography is a god damn masterpiece.
I got to see them play this live in Spokane Washington at a tiny bar. It was during the Alien tour and I was one foot from Devin the whole show. Got to meet all of the band members and tell them they were my favorite band. (Even smoked weed with Byron) Life changing night.
One of the craziest things about Strapping Young Lad is you can hear so many insane elements from so many different styles. Devin is amazing at merging styles. This shit is amazing.
@@strNpwrKC its abslolutely perfect. But im not certain its been official, but I wouldnt be surprised. Trevors personallity is almost exactly like Devs its scary... Well Strapping Young Lad Devin at the very least.
David Murphy I'm jealous. I've been a fan for 18 years... I wish I could discover that entire back catalogue now, because there's so much it'd blow your mind.
I remember seeing this video on headbangersball when I was 14 back in 2005 and at first it was so freaking extreame I couldn’t even handle it but after a few days and hearing it a few more times I fell in love with the song!! I also love seeing Devon from back then compared to now in 2018, it’s such a contrast I love it!!!!
Despite the production value, I still say this is one of the BEST music videos I've ever seen. It's almost a perfect blending of Evil Dead with metal music. Very well produced on a small budget!
Ahhh yes hard to beilieve there was a point in time where we didnt have 60000k definition and 350.6 dolby surround sound and recording equiptment that would make anybodys head explode and due to its sheer advancement in inducing a throbbing erection that would make any mans penis shoot off like a rocket into deep space
I have loved this song from the very first time I accidentally saw the video on some music channel when it first came out. The part where he sing " For I'm not the man you know" has always stuck out. There is something so eerie/dark about it that I love from a horror view point!
The main riff on this defines the term "girth". SYL at Donington 2006 is still one of the most intense gigs I've ever been at. Can't wait to see Dev next March.
This is metal of the best quality. I mean. It's brutally efficient, this particular melody and strucutre are just too much original and a kick-ass vocal track of pretty profound. A winner combination, if you want my opinion.
I got this on a CM demo disc back in '05 at a metal club in Ithaca NY called The Haunt...I just found the entire disc loaded on an ancient MP3 player tonight and queued this up....this tune is still just as bad ass as it was when I first heard it 10 years ago ... \m/(>.
I mean what do you think distortion is lol. It compresses the sound waves and pushes up all the overtones, which in the process degrades the quality and nuance of the sound. Distort any instrument hard enough and it will sound very very similar to distorted guitar because its so degraded.
***** nope the chainsaw is still an evil dead reference. In the first evil dead ash's hand gets infected with the demonic veiny shit, so he goes out to the shed at the back of the cabin and uses a chainsaw to cut it off. In the sequels he has modified the chainsaw so that it can be mounted on his stump, and uses his trusty " Boomstick " shotgun with his other hand :) in the 2013 remake its the sister who survives and loses her hand ( gets crushed under a flipped car, and she rips her arm away so she can reach a chainsaw laying nearby and kill the main demon with it ) hopefully they make a sequel with her as the chainsaw handed heroine some time soon :)
His solo stuff is certainly great...i would call it progressive hard rock, and sometimes progressive metal. “Alien” on the other hand is some insane shit I’ve yet to hear anywhere else. I thought Meshugga was the hardest ever, until i heard Skeksis.
Fucking best music..ive listened to this band for years..hopefully there will be a new release soon...this group is ahead of their time!..we need more..keep rockin.
March! Love is a way of feeling Love is a way of feeling less alone So what's all the fuss about? Fuck it Love: the paradox of needing Oh love, make way for breeding Give it to me! Give it to me! I know what I stand for I stand for me I’ll wait for the night to come So far, suicide at home For I’m not the man you know This love, it's about control Oh, what a feeling Oh, what a feeding Know the chosen ones are here All hail! I’ll wait for the night to come So far, suicide at home For I’m not the man you know This love It’s about control Oh, you fucker! All in the name of love All in the name of love All in the name of love
I kind of hope this video stays up exactly like this so the kids can see how we suffered in 2006.
For sure, but this version has crazy audio quality, it's sorta bad but hell those bass drops are crunchy af, even with this quality you can still get the gist of the video too 👌
@@allistergraham6704 going back to the proper version, without the crunch... kinda makes me like this even more
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
it really takes me back
@@lewissavaidis I swear, back when MTV2 was still playing Headbangers Ball, this exact version was being played there. Every song had audio favoring the left side...
2024 and I’m still listening to this!! One of my all time favorite metal songs!!
Yo these bass drops were so heavy it took the rest of devins hair
Lmfaoooo
Aaaaaawesome post.....hahahaha.

How are you holding up now?
man, that hurts. hope you're doing alright
Hope all is good brother!
I appreciated reading this, Thank you. Much Love, Hail True Metal.
YIKES, TH-cam's compression can't handle all the lovely bass! xD
Eh damn, that's what makes it even more powerfull and awesome.
Wish it was like that in the album too. lol
agreed that bass will make your nose shoot it's load
so ture hahahaha its sad hahahaha
lol
It can barely handle Devin´s voice. The man´s to powerful.
Only devin can take the most balls-to-the-wall sound and throw in a catchy chorus and still be respected -3
Check out a band called Stam1na
Devin Townsend is a musical genius and everything he touches is fucking gold
It's absolutely insane how he has consistently released great albums for decades. Some artists strive for one single great record, and Devin just keeps releasing them without a single drop of sweat on his shiny, beautiful, brilliant, bald head
i dont think he does it effortlessly. He talks about it in Japanese version of Transcendence, can't remember the song rigt now, but its awesome@@silverblood9456
The song is called Young Gods@@silverblood9456
I guess they decided our left ear was the best ear
bhwahaa spot on
it is from 2006 the first year of youtube
Yeah basically at the time of this upload TH-cam was barely 6 months old.
true
Actually the left ear is better at picking up sounds of affection or something look it up
Devin's mug could easily decorate any Iron Maiden album, without being edited.
Cleo Z
R.I.P. that awesome skullet.
+ParappatheRapper Broke my heart in about 31 pieces when I seen it went the way of the do-do bird. :(
+ParappatheRapper lol dude, I don't know why he didn't shave that monstrosity of earlier? Just fucking brutal!
This man is a fucking genious
+Darren Madden genius
This is metal in its purest form.
From the 1st time I heard this in high school on Fuse, to today, I absolutely agree. Between the riffs, drums, video, vocals, it’s pure metal.
Devin Townsend's voice is a fucking force...wow
Yeah he is the best at the growls and screams and kicks ass at the melodic singing as well!
His giant pie-hole is the perfect conduit for melodic rage.
probably the best voice to ever be in the metal business
@@colins7771 He sounds like a choir of heavy metal.
Devin Townsend is trained in choir singing.
Did this come straight off Limewire?
from KaZaa
Yea in 2006 Century Media was uploading rips off limewire. Granted, this song needs a remastered upload this shit is 14 years old
those were the days haha
@@djlowtek No it doesn't. Not everything has to be remastered to be fit on your boring modern taste.
@@WinterandNoodle Too idiotic to realize we're talking about the quality of this youtube UPLOAD and not the song itself?? dumbass
This song is a timeless classic. Never dull, always memorable.
Just heard of them through Spotify and holy fuck this album just became one of my all time favorites! Why hasn't the whole world heard of them yet? This is strength to the max!
Bc 18 years years ago there was way better bands out. Still is today.
The literal voice of wrath. The man is a legend.
A great Valentines Day song! :P
ahah yes sure
+Michel Newcomb , This band's version of a ballad..........
Has been my Valentines day anthem for years
14-2-2018
that is so true.
And on vocals,
Pickles, the drummer.
FluffyDonkey oddly enough that's Gene Hoglan on the drums here, same guy that does all the drums for dethklok
And Dark Angel....tssss, thats the main-thing here...
Doodly do. Ding dong doodly doodly doo.
Lmao
LOL
This guy’s a monster. I challenge you to find even ten metal vocalists who have this lung capacity. BEAST.
Lamb of God vocalist always blew my tits off, but thats only 1. Challenge failed
Will gets it done but gene on the drums. My god. Could wake me and put me to sleep at the same time

Gene hoglan!! The drumming machine! Freaking atomic clock! Dude literally plays in every metal band!
He’s probably the best that I’ve ever seen live. Gavin Harrison and Dave Lombardo also 🤘🏻Brann Dailor is a definite mention. Unfortunately, I never saw Kenneth Schalk from Candiria or Tomas Haake from Meshuggah.
Yeah man long live Gene🤘
I got his drum stick he tossed to the crowd at a Fear Factory show. The girls infront of me couldn't jump lol snaked it from them.😂
Devin Townsend is awesome, what an incredible voice. He's a god !
Only Devin can make a song about love brutal.
gojira did it.
+Jaycave that's all I've thought since i knew that this song was a thing because I fucking love Gojira
ummm Pantera??
Type o negative
Cannibal corpse? Fucked with a knife? And just about every behemoth song is a fucking love song. To a dude. With horns...
Gene Hoglan on drums btw, the fucking Atomic Clock!!!!
Absolute legend
Any chance this could get a better quality re-up? This video deserves better!
i agree this is a dope song.
no leave it be.
How have i not heard of this band before, they sound fucking awesome
Spam45 came here after some comments on a mh song and yes how have i not heard them before!!
ME too... thanks comments from M.H.
You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves. ;) Now go out and buy this album immediately. The production quality is so much better and even more colossal. The entire SYL discography is a god damn masterpiece.
MetalSkinz As I am now discovering.
'Alien' is an amazing album.
'The New Black' too. They all are, but I think those 2 gotta be my favs
this mastering is insane....
this came out when my second spawn was born! and he is a metal head because I raised him to respect the LAD🤘
Gollum's a pretty sick vocalist
I got to see them play this live in Spokane Washington at a tiny bar. It was during the Alien tour and I was one foot from Devin the whole show. Got to meet all of the band members and tell them they were my favorite band. (Even smoked weed with Byron) Life changing night.
This is EPIC and my goto song. Thank you so much!!! Crunchy as all heck
This song came on and I totally buttered my bread so hard there's now a small rip in the bread.
#metal
You mean it disintegrated your bread
Lol
It took me 5 years to find this priceless comment. You are great
Peace was never an option
One of the craziest things about Strapping Young Lad is you can hear so many insane elements from so many different styles. Devin is amazing at merging styles. This shit is amazing.
This was the first video I ever watched on YT. Still rocks. Love the Evil Dead theme.
same
Im almost 100% sure that Devin Townsend is the real life, musical equivalent of Trevor from GTA 5
Ryan Ohlson look at his face
That's exactly who Trevor was based on. :)
casey... incorrectamundo
More like pickles the drummer of dethklok from Metalocalypse
@@strNpwrKC its abslolutely perfect. But im not certain its been official, but I wouldnt be surprised. Trevors personallity is almost exactly like Devs its scary... Well Strapping Young Lad Devin at the very least.
I'm late getting to the Devin/S.Y.L. party but holy fucking God
David Murphy Same boat here, fuark!
David Murphy DT has one of the best scream/growls I've heard.
And I agree. My ears came.
David Murphy I'm jealous. I've been a fan for 18 years... I wish I could discover that entire back catalogue now, because there's so much it'd blow your mind.
I'm working through it my good man, hope is my latest favorite track...for now haha
David Murphy better late than never! \m/

I also love seeing Devon from back then compared to now in 2018, it’s such a contrast I love it!!!!
This song redefined my love of music.... it actually let me know what was metal or not.
That is so great . I felt the same way when i got the album city. And i found the band death at same time. Changed my whole life
Despite the production value, I still say this is one of the BEST music videos I've ever seen. It's almost a perfect blending of Evil Dead with metal music. Very well produced on a small budget!
I feel this song perfectly captures a lot of things that makes metal timeless. This still sounds great, 16 years later.
Thank you someone mentioned evil dead 😂
Deicide's self titled album is a better blending of metal with Evil Dead.
I don't think it's a result of budget restrictions, I believe it is an intentional choice.
I love how this video is like an evil dead parody, just adds to how legendary this song is
gene hoglan makes everything solid gold
One of the drumming GOATs
One of the most creative and heavy bands ever.
I would love to hear this remastered
That's an incredible chorus. Great melody with the chord progression and vocals. \m/
Your right! You are still around?
I'll wait for the night to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know
This love, it's about control
One of the heaviest bands I've ever seen. Riffs were absolutely crushing
RIP glorious skullet
Hello cueball
Hullo egghead 😂
I remember when I was convinced there was no good metal bands I had never heard of... Then I cam across this piece of genius :D
This is me today
Honestly one of the most metal songs I've heard
awesome song, sad they only had a potato available as recording equipment.
I kind of prefer it like this honestly
I think the recording gives it a certain vibe and edge it would not have IF was recorded all polished and perfect.
This is perfection as is to me!
Potato good for recording, camera and fuck toy. All is perfect and equal in the world when potato is used. Peace is fulling achieved zen in 🥔
Ahhh yes hard to beilieve there was a point in time where we didnt have 60000k definition and 350.6 dolby surround sound and recording equiptment that would make anybodys head explode and due to its sheer advancement in inducing a throbbing erection that would make any mans penis shoot off like a rocket into deep space
I'm pretty sure the recording is fine, the upload got fucked somehow though.
I have loved this song from the very first time I accidentally saw the video on some music channel when it first came out.
The part where he sing " For I'm not the man you know" has always stuck out.
There is something so eerie/dark about it that I love from a horror view point!
So happy to hear it again in Hellfest 2022. He swore to never play it again, but he did... it was awesome.
I remember seeing this back in 2008ish at sounds of the underground. This shit was sick live
I believe he said recently that he was going to play more SYL songs live, as they are also a part of himself, and he was denying that for too long.
Aah, I love that chorus! How was I a fan of Devin for so long without looking into SYL?
The main riff on this defines the term "girth".
SYL at Donington 2006 is still one of the most intense gigs I've ever been at. Can't wait to see Dev next March.
One of my favorite all time metal songs. Devin is a genius.
I remember showing this to my mom when it first came out. She’s passed now, glad this is still here.
Ah 240p, we meet again...
+Andrew Tyson
haha bro, on these 10 pound speakers here doe = laewl
+Andrew Tyson WHAT YEAR IS IT?
Iiiiiii know what I staaaaand for;
I STAAAAAND FOR ME!!
Just perfect.
Man, I remember this song when I was a kid. Some guy screaming at a light bulb, lol.

This is metal of the best quality. I mean. It's brutally efficient, this particular melody and strucutre are just too much original and a kick-ass vocal track of pretty profound. A winner combination, if you want my opinion.
One of their best songs honestly
I've counted like 4 bass bombs and I'm not even half way through the song. SO HEAVY!
3M views and no better version of this video has popped up... still, gotta love it.
Best drummer evertime ^^
Anyone remember the sounds of the underground 2005 tour? These guys where one of the best bands on the line-up.
Prolly saw one their last gigs before they exploded, they were fantastic.
First time I've ever heard this song and it is a fucking BANGER
Same
Dude I love the f'ed up sound quality!
Can you feel my catharsis
Machine head is cool too
That evil dead style cam into the cabin is the best ever!
this is the best 240p will ever sound.
I was so disappointed that this only played in my left ear. Gene Hoglan's bass drums blessed my left ear anyways.
Happy valen..... MAAAAAARCCCCCCCHHHHH!!!!
Well that was intense I don’t even mind his hair style!
The skullet 😂
The 1990’s what a time to be alive..🤘
Fast forward 2023 “Sick” 🤘🤘
Yup, and I just met Devin 5 days ago 😂

Well. Isn't that special
Very Randy Blythe sounding at times. These guys are amazing.
Devin Townsend is one of the most underrated geniuses in the world.
Lmfao, the song sounds a heap heavier in this shitty quality.
Gon Freecss honestly does
No disrespect to the song and the way it sounds, I kinda agree
I mean what do you think distortion is lol. It compresses the sound waves and pushes up all the overtones, which in the process degrades the quality and nuance of the sound. Distort any instrument hard enough and it will sound very very similar to distorted guitar because its so degraded.
i miss SYL so much :(
and i also rly miss devin's awesome hair.
I rly hope that we will see heavier album this year from him
Longing for a modern recording of this
Obvious Evil Dead reference. Groovy !!!!
2:05
.......and a Texas chainsaw massacre ref. Deadly!
***** nope the chainsaw is still an evil dead reference. In the first evil dead ash's hand gets infected with the demonic veiny shit, so he goes out to the shed at the back of the cabin and uses a chainsaw to cut it off. In the sequels he has modified the chainsaw so that it can be mounted on his stump, and uses his trusty " Boomstick " shotgun with his other hand :) in the 2013 remake its the sister who survives and loses her hand ( gets crushed under a flipped car, and she rips her arm away so she can reach a chainsaw laying nearby and kill the main demon with it ) hopefully they make a sequel with her as the chainsaw handed heroine some time soon :)
Tyce Pickett Actually, Ash's hand gets chopped off in 'Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn'.
Is it just me or was the quality of this video a whole lot better 14 years ago??
This is one of the most epic vibes ever. I return to this very much.
use me as the “still rockin this is 2020” button
monotone and all lol
No
2022
2023
Well this is next level metal, technical and production wise!
Still listening in 2020 🖤
One of my favorite bands and tunes.
Smooches from L.A.
Sometimes, I wish Dev was still pissed off.
tietjen666 lol this is what happens when you get sober and have a family
His solo stuff still gets stupid heavy. Just listen to Hear Me for example.
@@neeltheother2342 Not exactly heavy
His solo stuff is certainly great...i would call it progressive hard rock, and sometimes progressive metal. “Alien” on the other hand is some insane shit I’ve yet to hear anywhere else. I thought Meshugga was the hardest ever, until i heard Skeksis.
@@JHelix Dyscarnate's latest is reminiscent of the SYL "Wall of sound". What do you think? See: "Iron Strengthens Iron"
So how many times can I up vote this again?
Fucking best music..ive listened to this band for years..hopefully there will be a new release soon...this group is ahead of their time!..we need more..keep rockin.
They won't release any new material. Look up Devin Townsend Project to see what Devin does now
They are over, but the Devin Townsend Project are on tour right now, and a double album is being released next week
so fucking brutal! first SYL song I heard.
My left ear rather enjoyed this
+Jake Davies Cheers, my headphones were in the wrong way

Machine Head comments brought me here, and thank god because this song is way better!
and i came from messuagah video comment.cheers mate
"Love is a way of feeling less alone". So true!

Didn't know, that death metal song can be so intense, agressive and beautiful at same time.
True masterpiece.
This is prog metal, not death metal.
@@ree9371 Strapping can definately be death metal, no problem. Devins solo music is prog
