Dev's greatest vocal performance?

Especially the song Pig. Those vocals are one of Devin's best.

Look Kush... he did NOT write the first two SYL albums with a band. Jed, By, and Gene were initially brought in just like the Ocean Machine guys and Craig on Terria. Over time, they evolved into a band. "Far Beyond Metal" was the first song (other than the covers) where anyone else really had input. It's just not Devin Townsend: SYL because Century Media decided not to print that on covers outside of Japan

Fair enough.

Ummm...yeah the vox on 'The Death of Music' is quite unique and fitting I reckon.

 

[The Wanderer]

Sinner and exciter

Nobody's here, hands down!!!

This is like being asked to pick a favourite album or song, or even a top 10 of songs. If I pick one, it will change in a week.

Right now, I'm listening to OM from Ass-Sordid. How that song is not on one of the full albums, I just don't understand.

Actually... I do understand. It's Devin.

the last death-metal-song of this oh-so-fucking-evil band from SOUTH CENTRAL POLAND: ROOOT IIINN HEEEELLLL. great vocals. hihi.
but, to be honest: death of music. yep. good one.

I liked his screaming style in the Strapping Young and earlier era. His singing in Steve Vai was flawless.

 

[Demonspell]

Any song in which he uses multiple vocal styles in one song, Earth Day being a brilliant example...

 

[BenMech]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say "Processional" contains his best vocals

 

[Redelijk]

Vai's Sex & Religion is Dev's best vocal performance ever IMO. I think it's a shame he's not really using his incredible voice that way anymore...

by the way , theres nothing evil in Devy music , if you didnt already noticed , Devin is christian , listen to infinity and spirituality.

 

[Morgan Ågren for King]

"Stagnant" give me goosebumps.

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

if you didnt already noticed , Devin is christian

...So quick to put words in other people's mouths my friend...



"And Until Such Time That You Can Prove Me Otherwise
I Will Continue With My Agnostic Travels
Until I've Found A Place That Dreams With Me...
...A Place That Feeds On My Rountine"

"Hey, You -Failed Like God- in Me"


If you were referring to processional in that, then you fail to see blunt sarcasm...

 

[OceanbarD]

no , i just read devy interviews (thats what you should do before
wasting your time posting useless things)

 

[knev_ydoc]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Bad Devil


Or maybe they have, and I just wasn't reading carefully. Either way, that song just kicks ass.

 

[Truck Turner]

I'd just like to point out the fact that Devin seems to change his mind on virtually everything every five minutes. He's admitted it himself. So, to me, looking for a solidified version of his religious identity in either his lyrics or his interviews would be a bit of a fruitless exercise.

Even if Devin is a Christian, he's far from your everyday-garden-variety bible basher. Mora doesn't get too many mentions in most churches that I'm aware of.

And besides, he's a musician.
