Nothing screams metal like a big, friendly, bald, funny Canadian man with a guitar the size of the millennium falcon that has a built in smoke machine singing a song about giant, pink, coffee addicted ass cheek aliens invading Earth and killing everyone while Pikachu and Stitch headbang in the front row.
One of my favorite things I've ever read. I can't remember where I heard him say this either (live somewhere) but he introduced this song as "here's a song about farting ballsacks" or some shit lol. I've never laughed so hard, til now!
Devin: "I want the biggest, most ridiculous Flying V guitar imaginable." Framus: "But Devin, the bottom wing will bash the floor constantly." Devin: "And put a smoke machine in that shit." Framus: "...K"
That little falsetto @1:25 still cracks me up every single time, the placement, the sound, his expression with it. Just sheer fun and actually very inventive. Mad, mad skills in just that second.
It also has lasers and an Evertune bridge system. I think he said it weighs about 25 lbs which is why he only used it on the one song and also why he's walking around slouched over, lol.
TheJPomp Nope. Just look at it. It's huge! It was custom made just for Devin. Besides the lasers, lights and the smoke machine, it has an extended scale length. That means that the distance between the bridge and the nut is longer than in a normal guitar, making it a baritone guitar. It also has an Evertune bridge, which keeps it from going out of tune under most conditions. Evertune systems are also pretty heavy compared to other bridge types.
@@Duncan_Idaho_Potato I know i'm many years late for this comment, but i'm pretty sure he was slouched over because if he stood upright, the bottom "leg" of the guitar would be a serious tripping hazard
yeah, and it also had a goddamn smoke machine and LED lights! neither Framus or Devin have really released much about it or if it will be for sale. but on Devin's TH-cam page he has a video of the first time out of the case and testing the smoke, it's pretty cool
Dev says that fucking thing weights 24 pounds. Has LED lights. Vaporizor for effects. 7 string tuned stupid low. Open b with a low e I think. Says that's why he's hunched over in this video from the weight
@@jamesbannister7512 Dame lol 24 pounds that's insane a buddy of mine got an old Peavy bass sucker was so heavy he said he would never play it on stage.
@@reubenginsburg2012 He said in an interview that if that guitar was put for sale the retail price would be €42000. That's probably why it's not available.
If Devin Townsend wasn't a musician he would be a mad scientist. So lets all appreciate that he is creating goofy music instead of making potions that turn people into frogs.
I only found them today and now i can‘t stop listening to almost every Masterpiece of them, that i can find on TH-cam. Incredible, brilliant, awesome and unbelievable good. THIS is ART!
Probably one of the best on stage metal performances I've ever seen. Everything about this is incredible. Devin, the choir, the dancing mascots, that sound he makes at 1:26. Everything! :D
That would be *incredible!* DTP is the perfect candidate for that. And if they commit to total seriousness for it, with no sillyness or parodying, ... ...words fail me... I WILL see it live.
TH-cam has been recommending me this video for weeks because I listen to a lot of Haken, Ayreon, Flaming Row. I really regret ignoring it for so long. I've found a ton of other great Devin stuff since. Check out Grace, War, Bastard, and Kingdom. Devin is a madman genius
Devin is incredible. I have been waiting for this type of music for a long time. I learned about him a few months ago. The musical genius behind his theatrical and musical performance is phenomenal. All of the progressive music is coming from Canada or Europe. It's great to hear complex music and hear someone with an operatic voice.
The man is a comet. This is a joy. Devin you genius. Keep going. Can’t wait to see this live and I see you got Derby in the band.watched this guy play amazing drums when he was only 13 and helped his dad load the kit into the car. Flying the flag for creativity and no holding back.
Was just lucky enough to see Devin here in Sydney and what a fucking treat it was. Loved the show, Devin is one of the most talented artists I've ever come across. His band was FLAWLESS and he engaged the crowd throughout and keep it entertaining. CANNOT wait to see you again Devin!!
It's so awesome that he worked with Dominique Persi on this album. Don't get me wrong, I think that Devin and Anneke are a match made in music heaven. But I have been a huge fan of Stolen Babies ever since "There Be Sqaubbles Ahead" was being recorded. I've always loved Dominique's voices and she fits perfectly with Devin. 🤟🏻😁 #DevinIsGawd
Это просто гениальная, мега-эпичная песня! И исполнение на уровне: классно расположены участники на сцене, костюмы подобраны, и главное - внимание к мелочам. Супер-хор, Дэвин рычит, барабанщик вставляет триоли. Кстати, лидер мне Бубновского напоминает)))
Wow. Superb, Devin Townsend is so inspiring! That show just looks magical. I wonder if he will ever come to Arizona. The band members did an excellent job as well. I am so grateful for their music and entertainment and personalities. The drummer really stepped it up on this song and nailed it!! who hooooo!
Eh, can't agree there. We've had Mosh Pit Pika's on 70,000 tons of metal regularly, along with Metal Jesus, Scooby Doo, several power rangers, and King Tut. A lot of metalheads (myself included) are giant nerds.

Metal as F.U.C.K!!!

Best comment :D
Devin doesn't give a shit. He knows that he isn't careful with things, which is why he chose Framus; their guitars are unbreakable.
I just saw him live and he introduced this song as "I'm about to play a song about a ball sack." His crowd engagement is outstanding.
Haha, I saw him live in 2016? He said "This song's about farting ballsacks!" before playing this one. Good times
@@Hellion6325 same here lol "which, if you're 12 is great, but if you're 50 maybe not so much"
Supporting DT recently he said something along the lines of "Now to honor Dream Theater I'm gonna sing a song about my balls"
@@juszi6925 😂😂😂😂
@@juszi6925LMFAOOOO
Does anyone else think that Devin would have been perfect for the role of the guitar player in Mad Max Fury Road?
For a while i was convinced it Was him :D
@@westgoten oh my god you're right, that's amazing
Nope. If Devin played in that movie there would have been peace everlasting.
Isn't Devin just perfect for everything by default?
@Swabby Shreds Where? I don't remember seeing him?
"So where do ya work."
I wear a pink pooza' costume and dance to da rythm.
My dream job
"Ya went to college, and what are ya now Mattie, just a pink fuckin pooza, you're a fuckin pooza on stage!"

Who is that high pirched girl doing "oh!" at 1:26 ? Oh, wait, it's Devin.
+IgorPoulpupov I grinned like a tool at that part.
i fuckin pee my pants at that part , Devin doin weird gestures and concluding it with that "oh" , amazing seconds of history x)
+IgorPoulpupov This now cracks me up every time i watch this video XD
+IgorPoulpupov I keep going back to that part, the best thing ever..lmao
The cheekyness of that "oh" makes the song and turns my mind on!
I think Devin Townsend is the first musician I have ever heard to sound better live than on CD.
The guys from tool and primus do it ton
@@unowhavethebiggay1430 linkin park is other example
opeth also :)
So do Gojira and Meshuggah, both bands are somehow even tighter in a live setting
Ayreon 👌😉
The amount of work that went into this is wow.
I know! It's amazing!
Forgot I had the speed set to 2 when I clicked on this video. Sounds like satanic polka.
LOL!!! I had to hear this for myself. It's both hilarious and badass at the same time! x-D
Holy shit haha XD
Jesus
Thanks man, had a really good laugh.
Holy Shit! I'm fucking dead! LMMFAO XD
Holy fuck I've never listen to DTP before but this shit is fucking brilliant
+Philip Arbon Hehe - you are so damn right!
+Captain Fuckyou wow... u have a looong way discovering all DT and DTP albums... enjoy it!
I just have gotten into this music and decided to check how is in live and- HOLY SHIT!
Let Hevy Devy whisk you away to another universe. He has this power and you will not be disappointed....
+Captain Fuckyou you're in for a treat, all of his stuff is this good or better and always sounds epic.
That baritone guitar has a smoke machine and twin lasers inside it....That is both physically and metaphorically HEAVY AS FUCK!!!
It also has lasers and an Evertune bridge system. I think he said it weighs about 25 lbs which is why he only used it on the one song and also why he's walking around slouched over, lol.
It's not a normal 7-string?

@@user-ie1so5rn5k n wholly shit... dude. this dude
dis dude dat is dev
He's like the Uncle Fester of metal, he should definitely score for a Tim Burton movie!
I always thought it sounded like if a Tim Burton movie had a metal score.
Damn come to think of it, it really does sound like something that could be in a Tim Burton movie. Nice.
Probably one of the best on stage metal performances I've ever seen. Everything about this is incredible. Devin, the choir, the dancing mascots, that sound he makes at 1:26. Everything! :D
Anyone else think Devin showed make a metal based Phantom of the Opera stage show where he plays the phantom?
I would literally die from the epicness of that...
That would be *incredible!*
DTP is the perfect candidate for that.
And if they commit to total seriousness for it, with no sillyness or parodying,
...
...words fail me...
I WILL see it live.
Or voice a villain in an animated musical.
With Tarja as Christine Daaé
Yassssssss
Eyes, to the skies, and the STARS!
HEY HO EVERYONEISREADYTOARRIVE
To sing this and not fall into uncontrollable giggling is a sign of true professionals
This is a fuckin' theater of madness....love it
Shoutouts to Dominique. That part was **chef's kiss**
Pure theater, love this 👍
3:50 always make me chuckle. That pink blob turning and looking thirsty. Ha!
Lmao that's his mama! XD
@@danielleforet8057 *freud has entered the chat*
Feels like Pink Floyd on steriods!! Damn, Devy is really a scientist... amazing
He looks like a Disney villain that explains his evil plan with a song.
Actually that would be pretty amazing if he would get a role as a Disney evil and some songs in the movie.
Mad Science at its best
more like peyote but yeah
The other night on his twitch channel, 66Samus Played this song on his drum kit… That’s what brought me here to this video because I love this song.❤
Animated "Mimi mimimimi mimimi *toot*"?
Awesome.
The Damn Beast best part of the song
Well this is the greatest thing I've have ever seen...
Right? I just discovered it a few days ago and I've watched it about 100 times so far.
Same here buddy. I knew about Devy for years but neglected him. Critical mistake :/

Picacho headbanging
That set is amazing. I love the costumes.
Sometimes you are not that small, it's just that the V is too big.
no no no no, ;this encapsulates me: as a drummer, singer, guitarist. BRING IT!!!!
Is Devin really small or is that V really friggin big.
It's really big. Devin's ~1.85m, I think.
Must be cos it looks like there's a smoke machine inside of it.
Saw that too... damn the guitar's bigger than me...
It's huge. He told me it weighs a ton too. Like it's 25-30lbs of guitar. With the built in smoke and all that.
It's huge. Dunno why but I think it's one of the best guitars I've ever seen.
I don't care if I was the next hottest biggest band that just hit the music industry. There is no way I would fallow this band!
the energy in this song is unbelievable
A link on a comment brought me here an i love it. Reccomendations welcome to begin my journey
Devin Townsend gigs have the happiest moshes.
Sounds just as good as the studio recording live... Amazing.
March of the Poozers...WTF!!!??? How did you tube bring me to this??? But man, I am so in love with this song!!
Devin is incredible. I have been waiting for this type of music for a long time. I learned about him a few months ago. The musical genius behind his theatrical and musical performance is phenomenal. All of the progressive music is coming from Canada or Europe. It's great to hear complex music and hear someone with an operatic voice.
I love that giant flying V guitar, especially when the smoke starts coming out of it. Devin is a brilliant showman and musician.
I would cry if I witnessed something so epic live
Perfect soundtrack song for Megamind 2 - Attack Of The Poozers
The man is a comet. This is a joy. Devin you genius. Keep going. Can’t wait to see this live and I see you got Derby in the band.watched this guy play amazing drums when he was only 13 and helped his dad load the kit into the car. Flying the flag for creativity and no holding back.
This guy... always with amazing projects ♥
If he ever does this kind of event again, I'd urge you all to go. You wont be disappointed. It was the greatest of nights.
We get it Dev, your guitar vapes
I'd slowly clap my hands for you in a sign of appreciation if I was near you when you came up with this incredible comment.
“While my guitar gently vapes”
OMG I wish I could have been one of the backing vocalists! They must have had a BALL.
Eh, they were fake. The microphones were muted.
Well tbh I couldn't hear any "extra" vocal sounds. But still OMG. ;)
+TheRogueDM Yeah they're fake just like on By a Thread and Retinal Circus. Mostly the same people though
+Hiddos they do show up later in the show, though. the high-pitched part of the beginning of earth day is sung by them.
+Hiddos How do you know?
when did Voldemort build a rock band?
+furiousmat
step 1: grow a nose
step 2: start an awesome band
step 3: profit for everybody
About 25 years ago
after he got a nose surgery
You're not.....supposed to say.....that name, dude....
*metal band
Dude, that drumfill 3:35: It's tight and really cool.
biggest V ever
And the fact that it also has a built in smoke machine is awesome!!!
was looking for this comment
It's like an inch away from touching the ground at 0:37
What's crazy, is it doesn't look that big on him. Might be because he's 6'1. Haha
Can you picture an average person holding it, lol
Saw him tonight,supporting Dream Theater!!Was in trondheim,Norway!!Great gig!!
I'm on the verge of crying due to how beautiful this performance is.
devin townsend is the greatest singer that ever lived.
282 downvoters still haven't had earth's finest cup of coffee
This is both hilarious and epic at the same time!
Holy shit this is the first time I've heard of this guy this is fucking epic!! Wow blown away holy hell this is awesome
This entire video is a manifestation of my heaven. I need to just...live here.
I'm surprised Nintendo didn't take this video down somehow.
Why would they?

that has to be one of the coolest V's i've ever seen
No matter how many times I watch this it’s epic every time!!
Is this Dominique Persi from Stolen Babies at 3:50? Awsome!
Love it
i like the live version(this one) better.... then the other, sounds better to me
That would be because of Devin's high note at 1:26
YES xD
Dynablade7 honestly yea lol
one of the best videos on youtube ever!!! Big like from Slovakia
This video will not stop popping up in my recommended videos feed... and I don't really mind. :) I just keep replaying 1:26.
It's one of my beloved. David is one of the best metal . Straping young lads!!! My youth
4:00 gives me goosebumps man

Easily the best show I've ever seen 🖤
“I was in a concert once”
“What did you play?”
“I was a giant wad of gum with a face on it”
I was a dancing ballsack who is addicted to coffee!
Absolutely stunning!
Devin probably teaches all his mixers. What a great job always live, just like his albums
Maaaaaaan I soooooo replayed it!!!! :D :D :D :D
Bad. Ass. Love seeing an artist actually put on a show. Looking forward to this release.
I love those pink brain monster things dancing on the sides!!!!! They must be the "poozers"? This song kicks ass!
Yes !
Lol They're actually farting ball sacks....Look up ZTV from Devin Townsend.
Very pleasant surprise seeing Devin on tour with Dream Theater. It was a fucking blast!
Gotta love those guys in the Pokemon outfits. You won't find people like that In no other metal concert other than Devin's! So much awesome
Eh, can't agree there. We've had Mosh Pit Pika's on 70,000 tons of metal regularly, along with Metal Jesus, Scooby Doo, several power rangers, and King Tut.
A lot of metalheads (myself included) are giant nerds.
One word: Gloryhammer
This man and Peter Tägtgren are the biggest masterminds in metal music nowadays.
Dominique Lenore Persi looks amazing in this!
Was VIP for this show! What an amazing night!
Dat fog guitar! Eep!
Wow, this is great! First time I have ever hear DTP!
Am I the only one Addicted with the Robot marching in the backround?????

Thanks for good video editing. No drum/guitar/ambient tricks missed.
somehow this reminds me of the christmas episode from Invader Zim.
This concert looks like pure fun!
MAGNIFIQUE !!!
Devin, your best friend head banging pal…. Love this fuckn guy!
