Obligatory sob story inbound: Like so many, the Kingdom reactions got me interested in this dude. Towards the conclusion of lockdowns, had just lost the job, and personal issues piled up exponentially. There was no money, no love, no hope, and no idea on what to do... I waited until wife and teenage daughters weren't home...I decided that my continued existence on earth was unnecessary. I was ready to go, i turned on TH-cam very loud..."Kingdom " had just ended, i put blade to skin and began pressing... Out of seemingly f*cking nowhere...Almost Again started, i began to wipe the tears away (much like I'm doing now.). :Something," about this song mesmerized me...the blade remained in place...so, i restarted the song again, then a 3rd time...not only did i drop the weapon, but it seemingly fell off the face of the earth. I know this is just the blowing up process..I know Devin or his band will never read any of this...maybe my story can inspire someone else, about to make that same decision... Goddammit Thank you, Devin...this song most definitely saved a man's life... From the bottom of my repaired heart...... Thank you, Devin.😢
@@7ANUBIS-MC Lol, stop what? Samus is a top tier metal drummer (and has been since Abigail Williams) but there's very few that could play this song note for note. As a musician yourself I'm sure you can see that nobody here said anything incorrect lol.
I can envision some metal head singer winning one of those singing talent shows with this song. Such an incredibly difficult song to sing with just the right mix of harsh and clean vocals.
It is so nasty.... it literally defines nasty. Devin is metal. All metal bands want to play like Devin, unparalleled talent, vision, ability, it is the total package. I don’t think he is human people.
Man I bought this and I sat with my cousin, it was amazing . Took a day off work, it was an experience during Covid. 😅 I was working too much, and this live concert kinda thing , wasn’t live. But, it helped me. Devin love you, and this was an awesome moment to share with my family, he knows the name but doesn’t get into your music. When we watched your stream, he was amazed ,just keep on keeping on. 😂 you are an amazing person and very inspiring, I show ppl your music they not like it at first, but man they humming stuff after and I laugh at that.
Devin Townsend is prolly one of the most underrated metal masterminds of the whole genre. Dude is an excellent songwriter,awesome vocalist, on top of being a badass producer. The guy just seems like a total down to earth human being
Saw Strapping Young Lad live 3 times back in the day. Fucking epic, also got to see Gene play in Death, Testament, and Old Man's Child. I think Samus did Gene proud on these songs.
He has an incredibly unique voice. One part that is rarely brought up is that he has a lot of "improper" techniques, like holding thin or nasal vowels. It's very rare to see a combination of incredibly talented and professional with stuff that would make any vocal teacher slap you. Also, a nice touch is that his vibrato is pretty much always matched to the song's rhythm, usually in 8th note triplets. In this one specifically, his vibrato is faster than usual, 8th notes with a faster than his average bpm, or 16th notes if you base the tempo on his vocals.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! One of the most epic, brutal operatic death-in-the-metal songs on earth redone by the god of vocals and shred! Loving all your stuff dev, but bringing this one back at these times hits a deep wound inside my soul and gets it healed. Thanks, you still strapping young lad!
although i love SYL for all it's over the top full on metal.. this song is just so awesome.. the groove that Gene put on the track is soooo mind blowing.
Love this track. One of the most epic SYL tracks. I miss that band in the classic lineup with Byron and Gene Hoglan. But these musicians around Devin pull it off easily!
666Samus is also a beast. All of these musicians are at the apex of what a live performing musician should be. Abilities way beyond what we are force fed daily. Take a look every music label everywhere. These are real musicians and they play more than musac.
To dislike this video is the equivalent of disliking freedom. Let freedom run free. Devin Townsend penetrates this virus mentality with his musical prowess. Eat love virus.
Lol! Yeah he kinda trucks it through some parts leaving out some those wonderful Hoglan cymbal riffs. Still very glad to hear this song “live” . One of my absolute favs.
1. His name is Samus 2. No one can exactly replicate Gene’s feel, and I’m sure Samus would be the first to admit it. Different drummers approach the same material differently
Hmm I noticed with this and the other videos up on TH-cam from this concert you can't even hear Samus' upper register at all. Sometimes he is smashing the cymbals and ... nothing.
@@timwatson9198 Yeah this uploader's recording is pretty terrible, sounded a hell of a lot better on StageIt. There was another uploader called DevyFan or something who had good quality uploads, but they were all taken down.

Seeing Samus performing this is incredible.
Our favorite perpetuator of baheeism
@@gentlylive Nobody can play it exactly like gene, but samus absolutely fucking crushed this. This is a really, REALLY hard song to play on drums.
Lol stop it

Ohhhhhh yurrrrrrrrer

I took a day off to see this, it was amazing, they played songs I I thought they would not not do. It was awesome.
This song is, by far, my absolute favorite SYL tune of all.
Mine too fellow dev fan ... These would make such a perdect song to end a sci fi movie about robots destroying mankind
The idea to record everything on a greenscreen was genius. Any artist can now give Devy a music video.
Agreed!
I agree so much melody and raw power
Hard same. Such an amazing song.
It is so nasty.... it literally defines nasty. Devin is metal. All metal bands want to play like Devin, unparalleled talent, vision, ability, it is the total package. I don’t think he is human people.

I've waited so many years to see this performed live.... This song is other worldly.... Amazing
He played it in one of the quarantine concerts
And actually live on the most recent 70000 tons of metal. Theres a vid here in TH-cam.
Indeed, "other wordly" is the right term, one of my favorite Devin songs !
@@SylvainSangla This is literally one of the best, and most underrated songs ever written.
@@judepearson1801 watched him at bloodstock a few days ago he intro’ed it saying “fuck you guys for making us play this” it was awesome
Devin's voice gives me the chills. it's pure perfection.
His incredible Voice always makes me sobbing. I can believe in god when i'm listenning to Devin Townsend.
Damn!! Take your vitamins if you’re going to play with Devy!!
Fell out of SYL for a few years. Seeing this performance has had me listening to all of their albums non stop. Missed me something fierce.
This was my favorite covid concert.
Oh Yuuur again!
Oh Yuuur again!!
Oh Yuuuur again I have!!!
😂🤣 Yesss!!!
What an astonishing vocal performance!
Devin Townsend is prolly one of the most underrated metal masterminds of the whole genre. Dude is an excellent songwriter,awesome vocalist, on top of being a badass producer. The guy just seems like a total down to earth human being
Let's not forget, he's a pretty bad-ass guitarist as well. Even Steve Vai said so in an interview, and that says A LOT.
@@DarthMohammedRules Zappa - Vai - Townsend. A direct lineage of guitarists that taught the next one, and you can hear the connection between them
What a great version!!! I wanna cry 🖤 ✨
This lineup should record an album. take a second to think about that!!
listen to this every Saturday. it goes okay.
HOLY SHIT!!! I've been waiting so long for a live version of this!
Saw Strapping Young Lad live 3 times back in the day. Fucking epic, also got to see Gene play in Death, Testament, and Old Man's Child. I think Samus did Gene proud on these songs.
Holy damn, what a performance..
I enjoyed that more than hearing the song on the record.
amazing performance!!
devin😭
What the hell, that was an amazing performance. Literally studio album quality
Better quality than the original....
Dev’s come a long way since Sex and Religion 🙏🤘
Almost fifteen years after releasing The New Black and his voice has barely aged.
If anything, it got more refined and aged like fine wine.

@@lred1383hmmm, if his voice is still amazing with improper techniques, maybe they are not improper?.. idk
How am I only seeing this now?😢xxx
Didn't know this song before, never having listened to SYL. Wasn't expecting something this heartfelt, greatness!
Amazing, amazing, amazing! One of the most epic, brutal operatic death-in-the-metal songs on earth redone by the god of vocals and shred! Loving all your stuff dev, but bringing this one back at these times hits a deep wound inside my soul and gets it healed. Thanks, you still strapping young lad!
Holy shit so true!
Oh Devin you have no idea what this song means to me. PERFECT!
This is so epic in so many levels, It's the perfect Farewell from S Y L, the closure. Total Goosebumps
Aawww... Love this.. almost more than the live.. almost.. ❤️
Wooooooooooooow!! U a Lion 🎉🎉🎉
Weird seeing Samus with bare drum heads. No gel.
I can't believe his live performances sound better than studio
That came out in 2006 and I was 16 when I bought the new black album. Love how they Heavy Devy still knows what his good shit is.
Ooh yuuurr!!🤘🏼
Fantastic music 🤘
Love, love, love this song!
This song got me through some tough times man.
Samus is an absolute beast of a man
It IS Samus! Fuckyeah heavy devy !
I didnt think Samus would be doing the drums here damn.
although i love SYL for all it's over the top full on metal.. this song is just so awesome.. the groove that Gene put on the track is soooo mind blowing.
Ufff Mi canción favorita
THis is fucking out of control. I love Devin so much
Samus is a fucking BEAST..OHHHH YUUURRRRRR!
Like the speed of sound I will be found!!! Fucking epic!!!!
If Micro$oft replaced Clippy with Devy, I'd actually be tempted to use Windows... Maybe.
So damn good
What an incredible lineup. Wes' technique makes everything he plays look easy.
Samus is killing it.. as everyone else.. Devin is the man
Click on the video and the first i see these socks¡¡¡ One of my favorite songs¡¡¡
Best strapping young lad song ever . What happened to the old drummer ?
Hes in like 50 bands lol
@@johnathanwatford5012 for real?? Samus is dope tho
I almost shit in my pants. Again.
Love it!
Sounds amazing!
I need the workout on drums, sweet lord let me try that one again
we love you the one and only dislike!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see Peter Stormare on bass guitar.
cant wait for the next saturday haha
66SAMUS!
I remembering playing this song on my guitar, after rehearsing like a madman to get it thight. Love it man.
Love this track. One of the most epic SYL tracks. I miss that band in the classic lineup with Byron and Gene Hoglan. But these musicians around Devin pull it off easily!
Fast Radio Burst from Earth
chiar are o inima in piept
is rick grimes playing the bass? xD
That’s the badass Liam Wilson of The Dillinger Escape Plan!
I was thinking Peter Stormare, an actor in a ton of movies and shows.
@66Samus the drum rug dude....

HAHA right?

Btw where is the Devin Channel with his performamce?
?
That was a lot slower than the album, still cool though.
1:03 is samus playing an invisible ride cymbal
Gotta love those custom dark cymbals man. I have a whole set luckily. They sound amazing.
@@VitaE4Life oh there actually is a cymbal there haha. Had to turn my brightness way up
Krimh has said this song is incredibly hard and he had to ask Dirk for some tips! :D Watch him perform th-cam.com/video/0lEAL4hbVd0/w-d-xo.html

Please destroy at least the stupid hating comments.
#çapoutrecompany, NA
I like how you removed all of the bass entirely.
unfortunatly seamus didnt play the song like the original is played I think
Lol! Yeah he kinda trucks it through some parts leaving out some those wonderful Hoglan cymbal riffs. Still very glad to hear this song “live” . One of my absolute favs.
Yea really missing the bell.
