Just started watching this, but Dev’s going over some guitars he’s currently using. Still about a month away from the gear spaceship thing he’s building to demo gear in.

Devin is a legend. I've seen him twice in Dublin in very small (sub 1,000) venues and both times it was the best gig I was at that year. Even though I was at Metallica in Slane with 85,000 people on one year and The Foo Fighters, and The Killers in RDS in the other. As well as seeing Meshuggah, Opeth, Machine Head, and, em..., Bon Jovi on those years too.

I saw that at NAMM when I went, it was fucking huge. I’ll have to dig around some pics for it but it almost seemed like a joke sitting next to the other guitars due to the size difference. Almost like a prop.

I thought this was a joke at first because the image looks like one of those meme Halloween costume jokes

Idk who Mason Greve is so apologies to that guy

Not even the most ridiculous V he has

He keeps that one in Frederik from Meshuggah’s studio because the case is basically a table top and expensive AF to ship.

I like it. And the video features pickles!

 

[DrewJD82]

ahahahahah this is exactly what I wanted/expected when he described Powernerd.

Verses sounded like something from Accelerated Evolution, which is always great in my book!

I watched it this morning and I immediately thought he would fit right in here despite my seething hatred of pickles

I lost it when he flipped the USB cable before inserting.

If I'm starting a jam list of Devin Townsend studio tracks and Deadhead is the only song
on it right now. What would be 3 others you'd recommend that are in a similar vein:

1. Long enough to get really involved in.
2. Nice heavy plodding riffs - no galloping or rapid fire stuff.
3. Tons of open space w/o vocals to really stretch out over.
4. At least some regular singing. The screaming stuff works in Deadhead cause of the buildup.
Not a fan of songs where that's the style right out of the gate.

I know the dude's recorded more stuff than Frank Zappa and Prince combined so no way I can weed thru it all.

Only album I've ever owned and devoured by him is Ocean's Machine.
Other than that, his Vai work, and Deadhead, I'm basically a newbie.

Thanks.
