You’re very, very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed this. It’s not the typical first choice that you’d have been recommended, that would have been either Kingdom (live EMG) or Deadhead live Royal Albert Hall. I’m sure you’ll get to them. I also think Failure is a fairly mediocre track of his by comparison to the back catalogue but it is easily accessible and demonstrates various aspects of his creative endeavour - songwriting, singing, orchestration, guitar playing. His music is predominantly uplifting and positive, though the delivery is often fierce and brutal. Failure is a slow burner and a fine introduction, though, and I hope you do, if you do decide to dive deep, you’ll realise his scope, ambition, mad creativity, humour and talent can’t be easily represented in one song. By the way, he doesn’t always have an orchestra! This was a one off special gig a few years ago. You already know Strapping Young Lad so are fully aware of how heavy he can be! If you get a chance to watch some interviews with him you’ll realise what a sincere, humble, rounded, funny and articulate human he is. That uncontrollably spills into his artistry colouring and informing his output so one day you might have a sprawling epic 22 minute prog masterpiece about artificial intelligence (Singularity) or a comedy metal space opera about a coffee loving alien (Ziltoid The Omniscient). I suppose it’s that human element and vulnerability that makes him believable, a true artist. Thanks for the shoutout, enjoy the journey! Jim
Great choice Jim. As a huge Devin fan I gotta say it was super refreshing to see something other then Kingdom as a first reaction. I love the song, but it is more of a wow factor song and half the time the reactor never comes back. This as you said is a much better mixture of his music even if it is not as high caliber as some other tracks. Here is to more Ziltoid and Might Masturbator reactions as well!
It was so fun to watch both of you... you got both sides of Devin : the Beauty, and the Beast. If I ever win the lottery, I wlil ask, beg, plead with Devin to put on a concert for the world... totally his choice of where, and when, and what ... I want to just let everyone experience the joy of listening to this music.
Holy Cripes!!!! I would love to chill and listen to music with both of you! You guys make these reactions so fun to watch. Your faces every time some epic part of the song drops are priceless!
Deadhead by Devin at Royal Albert Hall is one of the most incredible live performances I’ve ever seen. Also Gojira just released a new song, check that one out too!
Devin is one of the most talented musicians in metal. Great vocalist and guitars. Kingdom is usually everyone's intro to him on reactions. That'll blow you away. Deadhead is great too. Also, Love? by Strapping Young Lad shows a completely different side. Looking forward to seeing you two dive further into his stuff.
to me, this is his most beautiful piece of work. from here you gotta go either heavy or crazy devi. gotta reach for every part of the spectrum that is Devin Townsend.
I appauded in my apartment after hearing this. First time I heard this gem of a song. Ty however suggested it, I have heard many townsend songs and I am not sure I have found a bad one. Also I would like to welcome D_Music_Life into the wall of sound, that is so special about Devin, as he does it just right.
Probably my favourite track by Devin Townsend - this live performance is incredible and the Bulgarian orchestra is phenomenal. You can see their faces, no idea what they got themselves into haha Failure (on CD) is just as incredible, suspect more powerful due to the clean recording but the solo kicks ass more live. Deadhead (live at Royal Albert Hall) should be next ;)
You know you just got bulldozed by a Devin performance when you make a statement like "The violin section, when they were playing the violins!". You're brain has hit a Failure, and it is good.
So happy to see this reaction vid and you two of course, hope all is well. In my opinion Devin Townsend is a musical genius and a true master of his craft. He's also such a humble, positive and down to earth guy on top of that. A lot of people will recommend Deadhead and Kingdom, so I will try to mix it up by suggesting Deep Peace (live from Plodiv) as my reaction video wish. I miss going to concerts so much, so thank you for these good vibes. With love, JP.
Stormbending or Deep Peace from this same live show at Plovdiv, or maybe Grace live from the Retinal Circus so you can hear Devin with Anneke. His music is a huge wall of sound, from Strapping Young Lad to today. He's incredible and diverse and most of it is just amazing
I love Jim for recommending a masterful performance of another epic Devin song. The way his guitar solo with the orchestra is just a special moment every time I hear it.
You have to see Devin's roots! *Strapping Young Lad 'Love?' Official Music Video* Goes all the way back to about 1990. One of the heaviest songs ever! Phenomenal drumming! Awesome vocals. And the lyrics are brilliant!
Devin produced the "As The Palaces Burn" album with Lamb of God (My personal favourite). He is a living legend. The "Deadhead Live at Albert Hall" must come soon. You guys will love it!
Nice reaction guys. Deadhead live at the Royal Albert Hall is INCREDIBLE. Some of the vocals will make your hair stand on end. People have been known to cry or have near religious experiences with that one. You owe it to yourselves to experience it. Grace live (Retinal Circus version) is also a killer. All of his songs kill. As heavy as the heaviest thing, as gentle as a feather. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Oh man, if you guys don't know who Devin Townsend is...then you definitely need to react to more songs of theirs. I'm sure you will get a bunch of people suggesting Deadhead Live and Kingdom Live.
Just a heads up but the Royal Albert Hall version will always get DMCA claimed. If Deadhead is a must, it's better to react to the Plovdiv version which should be safe and is just as good (better in my opinion) !
That was an amazing reaction. Jim, you picked a great song! Seeing your shirt, you might want to check out Sepultura with Devin Townsend - Mask for giggles. ;)
Looks like you've opened the Devin Townsend's Pandora Box ! Haha you could litteraly make a entire year of reaction vidéos with this genius, from "Heavy as a really heavy thing" of Strapping Young Lad to his last solo album named Empath. Enjoy your journey !
The mix of that concert is both a blessing and a curse, especially for Higher. The heaviness of the initial breakdown is massively boosted by the louder bass, but the guitar sitting so low in the mix, especially compared to the drums, makes the riffing sections just awkward
Duuuuuuuude, he was the lead singer for Strapping young lad, the band I have been asking you to play for the last year and a half. Please check out Detox.
Great video! This performance was beautiful. And extremely precise . Please react to Soen! A great band . You will not be disappointed ! Cant wait for your next video!
Something tells me you guys would love "Deep Peace" from the same show, it has Devin's most incredible, unique solo (imo). Also, if you can spare a half-hour, "Funeral / Bastard / The Death of Music" from Devin's Royal Albert Hall show... it's the best, most emotional block of music I've heard
Hey guys, one of my fave songs by him, love your reactions! Will you be doing more reactions to devin?? Really hope so I reccomend "sky blue", "universal flame", "stormbending" or "addicted" (first ever song by him I heard) keep it up :)
Devin is one of a kind. Nobody matches him out there ! Looking forward of you reacting to his screams in some other songs. Deadhead @ Royal albert hall Death of music @ Royal Albert hall (pure vocal performance after 3h of show) Cheers !!
Every morning i get up, make myself a coffee, light my first cigarrete and play the 2 reactions of Orbit Culture you have, since you made it. Please give me reaction N3 - the song ''Redfog'' so my life can be complete :) greetings from BG :)
You need to dig in to more Townsend. He was in a band with one of your favorite drummers Gene Hoglan, called Strapping Young Lad too. Check out the song "LOVE" by SYL, and if you want to hear some of his most brutal shit to date check out the song "Hear Me" featuring youtube fame drummer 66Samus on drums. Blast beats for days! Devin does everything from opera to death metal.
Y'all NEED to check out some Leprous! - Slave Live from Rockefeller, or Contaminate Me from Rockefeller, or maybe check out some of the drummer, Baard Kolstad's playthroughs like Rewind or The Sky is Red. You will not regret it.
Obligatory Deadhead live at Royal Albert Hall recommendation :P But, also a few others from that show: Bastard, Death of Music and Funeral. Higher is also a great song...well, honestly like half is immense catalogue is great
"L'enfant sauvage" Say it lol! J'aime vos réactions continuer à faire du Gojira je peux vous aider surtout pour les musiques plus anciennes. Bon courage for the Google traduction 😂
One Devin song I never see suggested is "Wrong Side" by his former band Strapping Young Lad. It's insane. Though I suggest the studio version, since there really isn't a great live version. Devin used to have...issues.
GUYS! You have to do some Strapping Young Lad now. It's the extreme metal band that Devin used to be in with Gene Hoglan and they broke up in 2006. Some really great shit, I would recommend starting with "Love?" or "All Hail the New Flesh"
This is a great performance. However, you have not heard a fraction of what is Devin Townsend. Kingdom (live for EMGTV) is a must listen as is Deadhead live at Albert hall, Stormbender...or look into his earlier band Strapping Young Lad...this list goes on and on and you will hear a vastly different experience with each.
More Devin to react to: Deadhead live at Royal Albert Hall (for the best screams you'll ever hear) March of the Poozers live at Royal Albert Hall (he plays on a guitar with a built in smoke machine) Why? from his Quarantine shows That ought to start you properly down the Devy rabbit hole

Nicely put Jim.
The journey has begun 🍻

Common Jim, why not suggest "pixellate" straight away..
:-) you're the only one I've seen react to that song...
It was so fun to watch both of you... you got both sides of Devin : the Beauty, and the Beast.
If I ever win the lottery, I wlil ask, beg, plead with Devin to put on a concert for the world... totally his choice of where, and when, and what ... I want to just let everyone experience the joy of listening to this music.
Go enjoy more Devin Townsend it's very cool
More devin guys. He is a modern day treasure that everyone needs to know about.
who doesn't love a bit of DEVY!
Devin Townsend - THE DEATH OF MUSIC
!!! This is something everybody needs to hear in their life
Absolutely 😁
Yes, above every other suggestion here The death of music at Plovdiv is the one they should do!! 👍
What a Gift! Unique Devin!
Devin Townsend - Deadhead (live at the Royal Albert Hall)!!!
Plovdiv is a better performance vocally.
That tracks pure OMG. 🙏
Simply one of the most perfect songs ever written ❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Townsend is a MASTER!!
Kingdom.......live from devin townsend
Oh boy. Welcome to the greatest musical rabbit hole you will ever find!
Holy Cripes!!!! I would love to chill and listen to music with both of you! You guys make these reactions so fun to watch. Your faces every time some epic part of the song drops are priceless!
Deadhead by Devin at Royal Albert Hall is one of the most incredible live performances I’ve ever seen. Also Gojira just released a new song, check that one out too!
Both yes!
And March of the Poozers from that show! Amazing!
@@mrsleep0000 the whole fucking show!! AMAZING!
Deadhead at Plovdiv is equally as good, if not even better. Royal Albert hall one has severe copyright issues.
@@rottingmoose33 really?? I’ve only seen one issue with RAH and even then he just had to cut out the video
Damn, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
A New Rabbit hole!! yes!!! You have to do Kingdom EMG Tv Reaction lol!

Two things. First up love that shirt bro.
Secondly fantastic choice. Nice to see other songs being played besides kingdom or deadhead
I’ll take full credit for that!!! Sometimes different is better 👍🏼
Now you're on the right track!!!! More Devin please..
Incredible.
There is nobody, and I mean nobody, quite like Devin Townsend. He's so unique of a musician and his stage presence is absolutely killer.
He's also a blast to talk to! A really chill dude.
Perfect intro to Devyland! Welcome!
Devin is a master of his craft man. It's a damn privilege to exist at the same time.
He did a track with Gojira too. Fuckin amazing.
Ok, now you HAVE TO react to Devin Townsend - By Your Command.
It is heavy, melodic, beautiful, and heavy again. I know you will love it
Can’t wait for the reaction to new GOJIRA!!! Born For One Thing is the track 🤟
Devin is one of the most talented musicians in metal. Great vocalist and guitars. Kingdom is usually everyone's intro to him on reactions. That'll blow you away. Deadhead is great too. Also, Love? by Strapping Young Lad shows a completely different side. Looking forward to seeing you two dive further into his stuff.

These are the masterpieces that come out this man!!!
Stormbending or Deep Peace from this same live show at Plovdiv, or maybe Grace live from the Retinal Circus so you can hear Devin with Anneke. His music is a huge wall of sound, from Strapping Young Lad to today. He's incredible and diverse and most of it is just amazing
🤯🤯🤯 Devin Townsend - Kingdom live at EMG TV. This is the way. 🤘
I love Jim for recommending a masterful performance of another epic Devin song. The way his guitar solo with the orchestra is just a special moment every time I hear it.
You have to see Devin's roots!
*Strapping Young Lad 'Love?' Official Music Video* Goes all the way back to about 1990. One of the heaviest songs ever! Phenomenal drumming! Awesome vocals. And the lyrics are brilliant!
Just a heads up everyone please no SPOILERS on any recommendations. We like to go in as blind as possible. Thanks \m/
deadhead is a good reccomendation, or also the live performance of kingdom for emgtv. that one gets done a lot also, great performance.
Those are the best kind of reactions. 💯
Please forgive me if suggested this before and missed it. Kingdom specifically EMG version. Worth a look see and a listen too. Thank you guys
You are in for a ride - always happy to welcome someone new to the Hevy Devy fam
For me.. all the concert in the royal albert all
Devin produced the "As The Palaces Burn" album with Lamb of God (My personal favourite). He is a living legend. The "Deadhead Live at Albert Hall" must come soon. You guys will love it!
Nice reaction guys. Deadhead live at the Royal Albert Hall is INCREDIBLE. Some of the vocals will make your hair stand on end. People have been known to cry or have near religious experiences with that one. You owe it to yourselves to experience it.
Grace live (Retinal Circus version) is also a killer. All of his songs kill. As heavy as the heaviest thing, as gentle as a feather.
Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Oh man, if you guys don't know who Devin Townsend is...then you definitely need to react to more songs of theirs. I'm sure you will get a bunch of people suggesting Deadhead Live and Kingdom Live.
and now you'll have to experience devin's first band strapping young lad. take your pick of songs. do it.
OK, Gojira's new song just landed last night. go do that. Then back to Devin Townsend Deadhead live at the Royal Albert Hall.
Just a heads up but the Royal Albert Hall version will always get DMCA claimed.
If Deadhead is a must, it's better to react to the Plovdiv version which should be safe and is just as good (better in my opinion) !
The whole show is awesome! Deadhead, Deep Peace, Funeral, Bastard, Death of music and much more. Check it out at least !
He recently did a track with Sepultura.
That was an amazing reaction. Jim, you picked a great song! Seeing your shirt, you might want to check out Sepultura with Devin Townsend - Mask for giggles. ;)
DEADHEAD (Live) Any version, they’re all amazing.
The whole concert at the RAH is magnificent!!! It is as close you'll ever get to any Heaven. 💯🔥🤘.... Devin only works with the best of the best.
Death of Music Royal Albert Hall
Looks like you've opened the Devin Townsend's Pandora Box ! Haha you could litteraly make a entire year of reaction vidéos with this genius, from "Heavy as a really heavy thing" of Strapping Young Lad to his last solo album named Empath. Enjoy your journey !
This is epic!!!!
Thanks, guys, I vaguely knew of Devin, but this, this is frickin' epic!
"Higher" might be the best from this performance.
I second this
The mix of that concert is both a blessing and a curse, especially for Higher. The heaviness of the initial breakdown is massively boosted by the louder bass, but the guitar sitting so low in the mix, especially compared to the drums, makes the riffing sections just awkward
Dev is amazing bro
I clicked just because of the dope Sepultura shirt
I loved seeing you two get sucked into this one
Duuuuuuuude, he was the lead singer for Strapping young lad, the band I have been asking you to play for the last year and a half. Please check out Detox.
Hell yes or aftermath 2006 Live!!

One Devin song I never see suggested is "Wrong Side" by his former band Strapping Young Lad. It's insane. Though I suggest the studio version, since there really isn't a great live version. Devin used to have...issues.

I feel like the song Higher or anything from the Deconstruction album from Devin would be a great listen as well.
This is a great performance. However, you have not heard a fraction of what is Devin Townsend. Kingdom (live for EMGTV) is a must listen as is Deadhead live at Albert hall, Stormbender...or look into his earlier band Strapping Young Lad...this list goes on and on and you will hear a vastly different experience with each.
Please check out VOLA - head mounted sideways.......wicked fuckin song!!!
More Devin to react to:
