I could never quite put my finger why this particular performance has so much impact and stands on its own. It's beautiful, chaotic, visceral (being hilarious too thanks to HevyDevy is a plus!). Huge ethereal ambient delay/verb rich distorted geetar and beautiful operatic.. with br00tal pitched screams.

It's been so many years, and Devy has done so much cool shit since then, but occasionally I get an urge to watch this NAMM performance again and I am always blown away. The guy is a natural born performer. It is a crime that Devin isn't a "household name" musician. The only people who don't love Devin Townsend are the people who have never heard Devin Townsend. That is a fact.

I’m the smiley brunette. It wasn’t my first time to see him. Yes I was uber excited to see him in this capacity & meet him. To those asking why the unusual circumstances of the show - it was NAMM so it’s not like an actual show. Any more questions? Lol

God, I LOVE Devin. I love everything he does. Seriously, the guy could record bathroom sounds and run them though a pitch shifter in his studio and I'm telling you....he WILL make that shit sound EPIC!

No matter what music this man composes, I do not hate it.

My first I ever heard of this guy, and WOW, just WOW

After following his 'ness for 16 years, I never tire of it. Never change, Dev.

I love hearing him jump octaves like that , one of the most unique and creative minds I've encountered as well as being a true inspiration for finding one's own path and voice , if we so desire . JMHO

Outrageously good. Complex and bizzare in a great way

Dev is so many levels of AWESOME!!

I met Devy in person on a sidewalk in Chicago before his gig....He was walking about 20ft in front of me, and I said "Uhhh Devy?"...and when he turned around I was like "0.0" So I freaked out before the master of music for a good 20 seconds, and he asked if I wanted a picture with him (Of course I did)... I asked him a few questions about his soundcheck, set, stuff like that. Really crazy experience meeting one of your biggest musical heroes. The fact that he asked me if I wanted a photo and took a few minutes out of his busy day to talk with me just shows how amazing he is. He really cares about his fans, even the painfully awkward fanboys like myself. :)

More talent in that man now than in every single person in hip hop, country and pop who ever lived.

So naked and raw, outstanding.

How are these people not drooling?

Casually chats away to the crowd whilst playing things most of us would have to concentrate furiously to manage... self deprecating, entertaining, hugely talented & yet also humble, the man is an inspiration. Pete Thorn seemed to be enjoying it too.

Just a badass. Just gets up there and becomes a beast. Long live Devin Townsend!

His voice is strong and melodic. Love it!

i love this guy so much

Blown away!

I love Storm, this brought tears to my eyes.

Absolutely amazing voice
