Devin is really just a Bard that rolls a Nat 20 for everything

[rogerj]

This guy is not only a great vocalist but also a great performer. The two are not always inclusive.

[OlaEnglund]

My new favourite channel, even though I don't even sing...

[Booker]

Be careful once devins in your head your never the same. He’s a mad genius

[skriddlehiddles]

I scream, you scream, we all scream for fry scream

[Dnto]

I love how you don't look down on screaming. It's refreshing <3

“Distortion without pressure” my new Band name. Now all I need is talent, and a band.

Yes, I'm ready to order. I'd like a high C, Slightly fried, hold the beef.

The funny thing is that he has often stated that he has no clue what he is doing with his voice most of the time. But anyways...
The guy is a musical genius.
He can compose and arrange really well. He sings and Screams like it's no challenge at all and he can actually shred all of our faces of, if he wants to. But he doesn't overdo it like many other guitarists that need to show off their skills in each and every song. He just doesn't do it. And that's what musicality means. I just love that guy's work.

Devin is the biggest musical chameleon you will ever come across and he's the king of dynamics.

[zedopikao]

you jumped the most epic guitar solo in emgtv's history dude really

[CasacaraDFP]

This is why Rock/Metal is my favorite genre of music. Aside from it just being badass, "technically" it's all over the place. You have clean singers, screamers, and everything in between. This guy is a perfect example of why this genre is so interesting and beautiful to me. I love this!

Finally a voice teacher that reacts in different kinds of music and not just POP! You are amazing keep up the good work!

8:05 "Gosh he's really good!". Sums up Devy nicely I think

[dudeskinus]

Devin once looked me in the eye at a strapping young lad gig, I let out a little wee. He looked into my soul!

[XcupcakeXhorrorshowX]

I cannot say this enough, I love how short your intros are. I absolutely hate when YouTubers have a 4 min intro, I always skip through it. You're one of the only YouTubers that has a quick simple and very clear intro. Thank you!!

[SeleneDarkbloom]

I'm really loving this wave of metal content!

[riderstorm]

This was fantastic. Devin Townsend is in a league all of his own. I'd love to hear your take on Gojira, Opeth, Dillinger Escape Plan, Cynic, Deftones

[shamelessplace]

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!! MORE METAL Devin is the consummate performer. A wonder and a gift

[RayDayPlays]

I've never heard this guy and HOLY SHIT HIS VOICE IS AMAZING. Love the way he plays guitar too!
