Devin is a massive influence to me musically and personally but what sticks out with me is that I met him twice but when I met him at Everyman Cinema for his solo album he signed my albums but I had to tell him that I wasn't able to make his shows he said "I don't care, as long as you able attend a show or two and listen to my music, that's all I care about" he such a nice human being, people should give him a chance

Dev's relationship with the guitar as a teenager is exactly the same relationship I had with the drums as a teenager. It was something I was good at naturally, and I put EVERYTHING into it in a way that was ultimately unhealthy (my sense of self-worth got tied into my ability to play drums, or peoples' responses to it, etc). I've long since managed to outgrow that and simply enjoy the instrument for what it gives me (which is all I ever needed, but was too immature to recognize). It's refreshing to hear someone else had the same process.

I've never heard a more intuitive person than Dev, and I think that's one of the main things that resonates with me. I love when he does interviews with people and they expect to talk about music, but instead the convo gets unexpectedly deep. I also love that he connected Matt's preparedness to his social anxiety. He could have been a children's psychologist in another life.

I've listened and watched several clinics where he references Enya's Watermark record as a big influence, and if you actually take the time to listen to that record you can really hear that the influence is undeniable. It might not be obvious on the surface, but I think he really executed his intention pretty well fusing a metal rhythm section with a melancholy, ethereal, orchestrated surrounding cast in terms of his trademark sound. One analogue for me was when listening to Orionoco Flow I was immediately reminded of Why? on Empath.

Even better, choose any random track from Devin then play "Orinoco Flow" ... I was like WTF?! 🙃

I've flown around the world to see this man tour. He is by far one of the best shows I've seen, up there with Tool, Pink Floyd, Meatloaf, etc. Man is a genius with music, I wish I had 20% of his musical talent!

the fact that Devy remembered Station 4 (In St Paul not Milwaukee) was really cool for me. It was the first venue I ever went to and it was a Trivium Concert!

Funny to hear that Devin is watching the same train videos on KZread that I do :D :D I thought that I'm nuts being facinated and calmed by them. Haha.

I will click on anything involving Hevy Devy!

“I never watch TV… I haven’t had cable in years” 😂

I love all the non-music turns this took. Those are to be expected with both Matt and Dev, but it's so interesting to just watch equally interesting people interact

The most brutal music/ vocals make me most happy/ smile. Matt Heafy/ Trivium (and Dev's music) do that to me. Most interesting interaction in this dialogue of great musicians!

Two of my favorite guys right here! Awesome.

Really appreciate the upload. I was only able to watch the first couple of minutes live. Thanks!

omg Devin, I love those train cam views as well, and I've seen those korean baking videos as well with my mom and we always get stuck for an hour there talking and admiring the thing xD can't believe you've seen those as well, you're awesome lol

This was absolutely incredible.

That was awesome thanks for the upload, Fishman! 🤘🏻

ridiculous DT is reluctant to sing lmao when hes got MASSIVE range and probably my favorite metal vocalist ever. evocative, powerful, and ascendant. hes truly a natural lol amazing.

two awesome dudes and a great interview! thanks! 🖤

What a wonderful chat. Always a pleasure to hear from Devin.

Soo good talk! Got me really exited! And Thanks for the tip of Station Eleven Matt!

Devin did produce Lamb of God and Soilwork. But Misery Signals "Of Malice and the Magnum Heart" Is also a damn good album

And Bleeding Through's Declaration! Probably the best mix I've ever heard on an album.

This conversation has a legendary amount of hair!

Glad I stumbled across this. Much respect for both Matt & Devin, and I really havent seen much from Devin really 'diving' into his processes etc. This is great

Since being an athlete at one point of my life, the philosophy I've learned is that practice so hard, that the game (show) is just natural.

20:30 50' shadow taking a 12' shit 😂 hilarious

This was a great Podcast, more pls

Love videos on Norway!! And the train cams!!

Tiredness is nothing when you have ambition. Try being tired without ambition.

Im Irish, and all you have to do is get lost in the blackened mountainside and wild atlantic wilderness of west County Donegal, where Enya and her family is from, to get that ethereal, dreamy celtic vibe. Its in the landscape. That melancholia, that haunting serenity in the scenery and then the music. Enya's old band, Clannad, had a stunning coupla songs like "Harrys Game" and "Cashlin Or". Sung in Gaelic, theres a real mystique to it.

When I was touring with Killer Bee in the late nineties I used to love just sitting beside the driver looking out the front window. Was happy to catch Trivium opening for Dream Theater several years ago. Love Devin. Just great music!

What an engaging conversation!

I'm so happy to hear Dev has the same shy bladder problem as me. It's a rough existence.

I love him so much

I fell in love with Enya and Death in the same year. Enya's "Watermark" was just insanely good. The "Hearts of Space" show on NPR was probably my introduction to "new age" type music and for me, it existed in the same space as Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Metallica, etc.

You guys both need to do a vocal deep dive with Mark at kardavox academy

I seriously lost my shit when he said the nickname of the band was “Slip-Definitely-Not”. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Royal Oak Music Theater is very much open.

Devin was born on Geidi Prime.

Heavy Devy! 💪🏻

Installing tongue and groove panelling SUCKS!! Especially when nothing in your house is square

❤

nice.

Harpo's "Lounge" haha

Such a good interview. I wonder if Devin likes Ween.

I think so! :) I love his version of their Transdermal Celebration!

Where were all the effects, and the four day long reverb and delay?

I believe you mentioned a soul work project. I did a search but couldn't find out what it is. Is it "light work"?

18:33 - Slight correction. Station 4 was in St Paul, but I can confirm Devin's grievances. While some of the best shows I played/saw were at that venue, the restrooms were HORRIBLE!!! Really just unkept and horrific how there really was no wall for the toilet in there. Blegh!

Harpos venue in Detroit. 😄

Just me, listening to two grown men be vulnerable about peeing in public, metal ASF

Train videos rule🤘

Heavy Devy!!!

Matt randomly dropping in that Ron Anderson died. Sad times, man!!

Does Matt do jiu jitsu? He never mentions it

Hahaha 3.52

Harpos is unfortunately still fucking open. Lmao

Dev looks so bored during this, Matt is just steamrolling this conversation 😅😅 great watch anyway

If you've seen Devin talk to other people, it's just his vibe in general. I don't think he's really bored. Just mellow.

I clicked to listen to Devin speak, not so much listen Matt talk about himself and how intense he is. Devin looked bored at times, I was kinda looking the same whenever Matt took the spotlight to talk so much about himself. There's so much he could have asked to a guy with an incredible long and prolific career but he chose to talk about his own stuff

@@fybromon1409 Chill dude, no need to embarrass yourself. I'm very aware how podcasts work and this was a boring one. No point in having a conversation with a very interesting and talented person if you're just going to talk about yourself, got pretty boring, pretty fast and came as a self absorbed person.

@@Xeroforte no shit! I'm very aware of the podcast format, so as pretty much anyone. This was not a good podcast, that's all. Matt, at times, wasn't having a conversation but rather stating how awesome and intense he is, which makes him look pretty self absorbed. And what's the point of having a conversation with an amazing guy as Devin if you won't let him talk. Just look at Devin's face when Matt won't shut up about himself.

Devin got 2 sentences in..other guy is talking about himself. 🙈

That's good. Firstly, this is more of podcast than an interview. Secondly, I love Dev, but if he is allowed to talk completely free, he tends to ramble borderline coherently a lot.
