Pisses me off every time I think about it that these guys weren't bigger in the states. Devin has got to be one of the most underrated musicians of all time. His career and level of fame couldn't be more perfect, actually. He can still go to Walmart and be furious about it just like us.
Agreed. I am actually okay with Devin's current level of fame. He is a musician's musician now, and is still going strong. One of my favorite things to do over the last couple of years is watching reaction videos from vocal coaches or composers just to see them lose their minds at his godlike level of talent.
So fucking brilliant! I would have absolutely lost my fucking mind at a strapping show. The New Black is one of my favorite modern heavy metal albums around.
My 2 favourite songs that autoplay into each other… this being the second….. thank you. Jesus, I miss my teens! What fucking year was this! Bought City when I was 16 when it came out. You are all my children.
If you listen the kicks, it is quite clear it is live... Unfortunately it is not tight enough, the patterns is difficult thou but still... If it was RVP behind the kit, then it would be just like in studio or better... That guy is a machine.
Some of the backing tracks sound just a bit too studio, so they may have been mixed in either live by the keyboardist (???) or (most likely) in post production of the video
Probably just poor editing when they put the video together. The audio will be taken from the mixing desk and video is from the camera which won't record sound, they are completely separate entities
I am pretty sure they are using pre-recorded vocals for Jed and Bryan. SYL used them for the song directly after this: In the Rainy Season. Also, they sound exactly like the album. Having heard some of their live backing vocals on other songs like Relentless and Wrong Side, I think it is highly unlikely they would be able to harmonize so perfectly live. But I think Devin live and sounds great.
If I'm right Devon plays an open C# tuning not an open D tuning.....someone below slammed another on his tuning......just saying.......his tuning is based on "Friends" on Led Zeppelin 3......
fuck i miss SYL live!! They use to ruin the HOB and Galaxy in OC epic shows! Dev spit on me!! ...thats what i was sayin in high school back then! When they still opened with Velvet & All Hail \m/
+wosko It's open C with low G which is GCGCGCE. He had open C tuning at most of the songs since the album you said then started using 7 string since Alien. He also use one or half step lower tuning whether in 6 or 7-strings since his "Project".
well my first instinct is to defend my favorite drummer in the world, mr danny carey. but honestly there are tons of very talented drummers out there, and a lot of it is preference. what constitutes skill? strength? speed? creativity? song writing? ironically someone recently suggested mars volta so ill give it a shot. and beauford has more than a couple good fills. lol. have a great day!
You MUST be joking? Even Devin himself seems fairly dismissive of it. From what I gather, the main reason they even wrote and released that album was because they were contractually obliged to do so. Not saying there aren't a couple decent songs on it, but if you think that 'The New Black' is their best album, I can't help but feel you've missed the point of what Strapping Young Lad was even about. Have another listen to City, Alien and the self titled album. Those are where it's at.
Yeah even Devin says that City was the ultimate album, ALTOUGH, he also stated that even tho City is like "right there" he feels extremely proud of Alien. But I personally gave a listen to the New Black and these guys were far beyond the top of their league right there.
He's used tracks since the 90's. Not as a cheat, but a way to bring the sound he wants live. He's even toured with a computer on stage next to him in recent years. With the screen facing the audience.

Most people can't handle fame. He seems do be doing fine and having fun. What more do you want from life?
What an amazing voice he has.
SYL were huge in Norway and Europe in their prime
@@Metrikon9000 Reaction videos are cringe.
Dude at 3:11 is probably having one of the best and most memorable times of his life.
So fucking brilliant! I would have absolutely lost my fucking mind at a strapping show. The New Black is one of my favorite modern heavy metal albums around.
"Stop clapping!"
*clapping intensifies*
Clapping Young Lad! :D
You're so belligerent!
Then Dev starts clapping 🤪
You are supposed to hadbang, damnit. But look at how precise they clap. They all got rythm.
Man i miss them so much
Miss a band like this.....
Absolutamente. Únicos
Came to make sure gene held that blast at the end. Dude never disappoints
This day all those years ago was my intro to syl and Devin. It blew my fucking mind hole out. Fave performance of the festival ve
"you'll taste the taste'ahh!"
Gets me every time, there's so much power in this track. I love it.
I just discovered DTP and Strapping a few days ago.....it’s like history happened, and I missed it.....shit.
And down the rabbit hole you go! Welcome! I’ve been waiiitiiing
Same thing happened to me, except 8 years ago. They were freaking incredible

Fucking great show, I keep revisiting it everyday since 2010
The one and only Gene Hoglan! Awesome as fuck!
That dude reppin the SYL shirt. Feeling ya brother! \m/
ALL HAIL!! 🤘
That was drew from for those aboot to rock
@@excaliberdg1153 Now that you point that out, it definitely does look like him. Probably shat the bed that day as well 😁
That's Drew at 3:12!, from the For Those Aboot to Rock DVD. He sang on Far Beyond Metal
My 2 favourite songs that autoplay into each other… this being the second….. thank you. Jesus, I miss my teens! What fucking year was this! Bought City when I was 16 when it came out. You are all my children.
this sounds so professional, hard to believe its live, i mean im sure its mastered well but still
If you listen the kicks, it is quite clear it is live... Unfortunately it is not tight enough, the patterns is difficult thou but still... If it was RVP behind the kit, then it would be just like in studio or better... That guy is a machine.
Thats for sure !! Never heard a so professional live sound before
@@squidcaps4308 what are you talking about? Hoglan is way above Ryan, no disrespect to RVP, he's fantastic, but no.
Some of the backing tracks sound just a bit too studio, so they may have been mixed in either live by the keyboardist (???) or (most likely) in post production of the video
Devon is one world class performer, unbelievable
My speakers are LOVING this all 5 of 'em!
Listening to this is better than being high
2:01 is when Download delivered exactly what that song needed at that moment
Awesome. Killer performance. Bow down to Master Devin. Hail Strapping Young Lad.
"Nice sombrero by the way. Full fucking metal." 🤣🤣🤣
Devin = the Skullet= Amazing!!! Evil Genius!!
Devin, what a fucking icon.
S T O P C L A P P I N G
This music for me is The music more agressive in the world! the end is so powerfull and heavy!
I know I'm commenting again but this just sent chills up my spine and I had to say it out loud here
For some reason at 07:04 I started to look away cause that look gave me chills. Apparently he sees something we don't
The camera and a sea of people
STOP CLAPPING!
3:11 isn't Drew from the Far Beyond Metal off For Those Aboot To Rock???
Yo I also thoght so !
True friendship at 6:52
02:34 the clapping have a distortion vibe and made it some how better at this point and when it stopped something wasnt right
Devin, Jed, Gene & Byron
Stopp clapping :D :D :D and they stopped ;-) one of the Best songs of SYL
the most fucking metal ever.
just for his hair I like this video!
Dev: Stop Clapping
Me: *chuckles*
Mom: What's so funny?
Me: Nothing
My Brain: Lol, Clapping Young Lad.
🤣🤣
@RonanDahlman-ci1ql Oh my God, coming back and reading this comment, I didn't realize how diabolical "'Clapping Young Lad" actually sounds. 🤣🤣🤣
''Hey!..nice sombrero, full fucking metal man'' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
3:11 Devin Townsend, or the only man who can be on stage and in the public at the same time ... Well done, schizophren bro !
Terria以来…最近になって久し振りに観たらやっぱり落武者みたいになってましたね！
この後諦めたのかスキンヘッドにしましたか…。
Amazing performance, but does it look like the backing vocals don’t line up with the guitarists singing them? Or is it just me
Does look like he's lip syncing a tad.
Probably just poor editing when they put the video together. The audio will be taken from the mixing desk and video is from the camera which won't record sound, they are completely separate entities

Where was this filmed ?
5:40 full insanity
That drumming WOOF
The clapping always fucks me up
..and then they all started clapping again. So belligerent ;-P
If I'm right Devon plays an open C# tuning not an open D tuning.....someone below slammed another on his tuning......just saying.......his tuning is based on "Friends" on Led Zeppelin 3......
open c lol
U are correct sir.
5:40 to 5:45 is fucking incredible.
GTA V
Trevor Yound Lad
Devy had a sharp edge then
xdjj great concert.
+wosko No, it's in GCGCGCE
,,Nice sombrero" xD
fuck i miss SYL live!! They use to ruin the HOB and Galaxy in OC epic shows! Dev spit on me!! ...thats what i was sayin in high school back then! When they still opened with Velvet & All Hail \m/
but if you were high you would have noticed the screw up near the end of the song
REUNION NOW !!!!!
I do. The fuck up was in the best part.
Sure looks like him!
"stop clapping" ::DD
good quality on youtube finally!
Devin plays his 7 string in GCGCFAD not D for anything since heavy as a really heavy thing
+wosko It's open C with low G which is GCGCGCE. He had open C tuning at most of the songs since the album you said then started using 7 string since Alien. He also use one or half step lower tuning whether in 6 or 7-strings since his "Project".
For God's sake Devin....... call up Gene and get the band back together

vicious~!! DEv
No, non taken. You didn't develop your ears enough to distinguish different sounds in noisy song. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have a melody.
Stop 👏🏻 (but start at 2:03
Thats what i thought!!!
Why does it turn black near the beginning
Daniel Meh The original has a woman with her shirt pulled down, youtube is censoring the boobs.
Staring contest excepted.
hevymatt I think so, yes! Haha
no they didnt
thats why he says " you're so belligerent "
canadians are not that polite

Actually, she's a girl.

@@TheNewBerser the new Black is not their top.... however is an album that is over the media....
Yeah, you insulted me... Dude, I feel so fucking bad, I'm gonna cry... boo, hoo...
pre recorded backing vocals

What a shitty crowd, they are in pause mode
Portnoy > all baby.
no.
Great band, lame crowd
