Devin Townsend

[Slaydon]

What do you think about Mikael working with Devin Townsend? I think it would be awesome. They have already appeared together on the Ayreon album Human Equation and that turned out wel. I think Devin is the only other musician alive today that can rival Mikael as songwriter. Both in originality and intensity. And I read that he has now disbanded his band and plans to work on his own and with other musicians.

It would certainly be interesting. As a Dev fanboy I tried to find out what Mike thought of Dev, to no avail. I know they are friends.

Devin is the man. I am not aware of any connection between him and Mikael though.

...Imagine Devin Townsend + Mikael Åkefeldt + Steven Wilson... That would be too good to be true!

Well, as all of those 3 baybe are my favourite composer and songwriters nowadays, it cant possible go wrong.

I thought Devin was all about playing only HIS music and no one else.... So maybe that will never happen.

^ Yeah, when he worked with Arjen Lucassen for Ayreon he only did it because he could write his own lines.

David Gilmour makes guitar solos have both feeling and excitement. What else could you want?

Jonas Renske (Vocals)
Mike + Dev + Steve (Guitars and Vox)
Dave Gilmour + Fred Akesson (Lead Guitfiddles)
Blakkheim (Rhythm Guitfiddles)
Mendez (Bass)
Lopez!!!! (Drums)

That would be a beastly combination
