Devin Townsend Project 'Deadhead' | Vocal Coach Reaction/Analysis... finally returning to Devin!

Today's video is a long awaited reaction/analysis of Devin Townsend's "Deadhead" at Royal Albert Hall. It has been a long time since my last analysis of Heavy Devy but I hope you'll enjoy this one with me as we explore the range, timbre, distortion and musical experience that is the Devin Townsend Project.

Still makes my hair stand on end every time I hear this live performance. He makes us canadians soo proud.

Canada's best, even though most Canadians have no idea. I saw him with Strapping Young Lad when I was like 19 and he still had his skullet. When he hit the stage he screamed "HELLO MY BABIES" and I knew pure greatness was about to happen. Even though it's been 18 years I still remember that show so well.

I believe Devin was sick for this performance. Or just coming off being really sick. Amazing.

[bpetrikovics]

This is (for me) the absolute top from Devin's songs, along with Death of Music.. He's so fully committed to what and how he's singing, amazing.

[umokay]

The ridiculous part about this show is that the band was part way into the second set of the show.

They played a full, entire set, took a 25 minute break, and then came back and played ANOTHER full set after that. They played for almost 3 hours altogether the night they played this. The fact that he can still hit those notes at this point in the night they played is unbelievable to me.

[johnlanham]

This is an amazing song. You’ll love it. Devin’s unique vocal ability will leave you speechless.

[FaithsFallen]

This performance made me want to continue after a year of hell! Man has save so many lives he will never understand!

[choppingpenguin]

Omigod, when his face contorts and his perfectly shredded voice goes into the stratosphere, I couldn't help but tear up. Such a moving performance.

[Lokbatch]

Not sure why, but this song hits me so hard and I cant help but having a knot in my stomach and a tears in my eyes! I've tried to show this to my friends, but none of them have gotten the same thing from this as I have.. Devin is simply incredible and a huge inspiration!

[salamanteri_]

Great song, instrumentals are beautiful and Devin's vocals are going nuts, I still get goosebumbs after listening this dozens of times

[lucassalazar]

Not only was this after a full set they had already done but rumor has it he was also sick during this performance. Just shows his talent and durability, he is a truly gifted singer.

[Rosannasfriend]

First of all I’m glad to see you back with videos on your own channel! Second of all, what a great pic to come back with! Devin Townsend is one of my favorite male vocalist in the world and I have missed people doing reactions to him!

[Prophet]

Devin Townsend is awesome. Since I heard him in the early 90's, I've always had a fascination with his vocals.

[merqury]

THIS is a performance. Cant help but being moved by this.

[shri]

If an angel were to scream in anguish….it would sound like a Devin scream….it’s both harsh and ethereal at the same time… his voice is just majestic…

[nunalves]

I watched him live early this year here in Portugal opening for Dream Theater and i remember listening to this same song and he sounded exactly like in this performance.

[Luusika]

Having spent so many hours watching and rewatching these reaction videos to Dev, your method is such a good blend of analysis and not pausing the video every ten seconds. We as the audience can enjoy the music and still get the reaction.

[Payneview]

I like that you appreciated the guitar intro. Many don't and I think it is such an amazing tone.

[jonathanratliff]

Devin the usual master of ceremonies here as usual, but can we give it up for his drummer here!? Sick!!

[timhutchinson]

Love this song, and your analysis. Those “pitched screams” are sort of a signature thing for him (along with the great belted cleans)
