Devin Townsend - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction? 

God, I love this bald sonovabitch

YES! Been waiting for this since I saw you guys interviewing Devin in his tour-diary! Great stuff!

Props for the Frenzal Rhomb T-shirt

This was published on my birthday, but I missed it until right now. I creamed a little bit when I saw it. And then, the icing? Gruhammad's got a motherfucking FRENZAL RHOMB shirt on! ?!!?!?!?!!!

Damn this dude is truly intelligent. Very interesting guy. Very deep.

why doesn't he pronounce his name gruhamed anymore?

I got excited when I realized I'm currently wearing the exact same shorts as Devin, even the same color.

Yes! Devin is my daddy!

dat OPETH LOGO!!!

Agree on Alien being SYL's best album. City is amazing but Alien is reckless and powerful.

Came to watch Devin crack some jokes about wikipedia crap, ended up hearing him talk about profound stuff about his personal life and humanity in general. I love this guy.

you'd never believe the rage pent up in this mild mannered man

"Hey Mr. Incredibly Wealthy And Successful Rock Bass Player, why don't you play on my record?" "Why would I do that?" "Because I'm a badass."

Devin is so articulate not only musically but verbally.

My favorite musician of all time. One of the greatest of our time and so many people have no clue who Devin Townsend is.

Just saw this guy headlining with BtBAM in Dallas last Thursday, and I previously had only heard a couple of his songs. He seriously was the most hilarious and positive metal musician I've ever had the pleasure of seeing live. After the show he jumped down in front of the barricades and shook everyone's hands in the front row, right after wishing us all "awesome lives" and thanking everybody for coming out to the show. My friend remarked, "If you don't like this guy, you're an asshole."

Devin Townsend is like the greatest dude ever

The Deadpool of music

The DT dilemma when you're playing him in the car: Should you get out and hug everyone around you, or crash into them?

I didn't know Devin was Canadian until I heard him say "aboat"

YES!!!!! Been looking forward to this one since I saw a quick glimpse during Devin's tour vlog.

This man is extraordinarily brilliant. His ability to articulate and clearly express himself is astounding.

"City" is amongst my top 5 albums of all time. Devin's greatest record in my opinion!

the Frank Zappa of heavy metal.

At this point Devin has become some sort of spiritual guide to me

This guys for me is a philosopher. "The Dalai-Lama of Metal" for me at least ;-)

I am such a great fan of Devin's work, but I am more impressed by his elocuent responses!!! As a psychiatrist I have listened a lot of times the myth that treatmen kills creativity, so I am very pleased to listen an intelligent and hard working person analyzing his situation. Great Devy!!!!!

Did anybody else think he was gonna say "Hold on, I think it's 2 T's. Let me check wikipedia..."

at the end of it all .... I'm a deconstructed cheeseburger.

That was inspirational. What a clever and articulate, open dude. Have to go and listen to him now and hoping it'll be a joyful discovery

Best facial expressions in live music. PERIOD!!!!!

Strapping Young Lad Alien is the heaviest album I have heard.

Such an open minded dude. Wish more people were like him.

Since the start of this series I was begging for them to interview Devin and Maynard. Yes! Finally got one of them.

What is good here is that although the 'device' of reading Wikipedia seems a crass way of constructing an interview, it results - with an artist as interesting and self-reflective as Townsend - in quite a high level of profundity.

When I first listened to SYL backmin the 90s I was sure that Devin was completely insane. Looks like I couldnt be more wrong.

I love that he said Alien was his favorite. Don’t get me wrong; City is an absolutely fantastic album in it’s own right, but Alien was something else, man... STILL holds it’s weight to this day!

Gottag love that shining/gold Opeth logo in the background in the Devin camera angle \m/

I love how natural, honest and down-to-earth this guy is.

Love how Devin is a coffee nut as well. Long live coffee!

That Hello Kitty keyboard in the background is as metal as Portney's Pokemon drum kit

What a fascinating guy. Canada produces the best musicians with the exception of me.

This interviewer knows his stuff, knows what he's talking about and his interviews are always spot on, well prepared and interesting. Well done.

Strapping Young Lad was the best thing ever, Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing is a masterpiece.

Finally! We need more musicians like him on this show! Best artist of our time imo, can't wait for his upcoming symphony (called Moth) that he'll work on in November :D Transcendence is top 5 albums of 2016 for sure

Many people dont know this guy, but he is some kind of a genious

Alien was my first SYL album, kicked me in the throats with a passion. Loved it and ever since then I've loved everything this man has brought into the world. City and Alien are in equal grounds to me, both amazing. METAL!!

1:22 "motorhead" and 'Folsom Prison Blues" .."Thats like different sides of the spectrum"...Not really

I think Gruhamed was a bit overwhelmed by that last bit.

"Sometimes the comfort of being dissatisfied is way more convenient that just letting it all go."

He's just a extremely talented and versatile musician, everything he makes is so deep, well thought out.

cool as, and a fucking FRENZAL RHOMB shirt!!! Graham you legend!

STEVEN WILSOOOON

Devin went from gorgeous redhead to sexy bald

Alien is one of my favourite albums of all time. Extremely unhinged, manic and heavy but also weirdly beautiful and spiritual.

Alien is my favorite Strapping album. Glad Devin feels the same.

Love Devin and I love Graham rockin that Frenzal T! aussie aussie aussie

Here ladies and djentlemen you have one of the most liked personalities in metal. Tremendously cool guy!

Hevy Devy is a deep dude.

Please, do Jeff Waters from Annihilator

Damn I just saw him on the twelfth. He super mellow in real life, and really really nice. He's just so personal

damn opeth is everywhere

"Your vibe attracts your tribe"

Your vibe attracts your tribe! Classic Dev

He is such a lovable person with an immense talent

Devin was afraid of anger because he's Canadian and they're the nicest people on Earth.

Fuck, the difference of size between Devin and Graham...

I just discovered a new found love for this man. He’s fucking awesome.

Such a human being and an amazing artist. The world needs more of this.

Simone Simons next?

He's an astonishingly nerdy looking man. A victory for progress in Metal!

Never realized Devin is as tall as a tree. He looks huge next to the interviewer.

City is my favorite SYL album.

Oh my god, he checks his middle name if it has two T’s kinda like how I got to think about how old I actually am.... “I’m 28, I think....”

All of the best musicians have been diagnosed bipolar!

The interviewer needs to try and relax more, I've noticed he looks and sounds very tense on these fact or fictions.

Dude. Frenzal Rhomb shirt.

One of the most intelligent interviews I have seen recently.

Good lord it has been 15 years since Alien came out.

Is it just me, or does the Dev kinda look like an older version of Idubbbz?

holy fuck this dude is an inspiration

Literal music GOD!! He had me at “deadhead” live Also graham (whatever his name is)...rocks

Devin Townsend is a true artist and gentleman. Love everything he’s done musically

Big ups to the And1 shorts ,another reason why Heavy Devy is all about the music not the lifestyle of a rock star 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

As a recent convert to the DTs, I knew there was something I liked about this guy ... That interview got way Deeper than I thought it was going to go ...

"Sometimes the comfort of being dissatisfied is way more convenient than letting it all go..." I need to go home and rethink my life.

how could you NOT ask about Gene Hoglan!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

having the opportunity to watch a Devin Townsend interview is always a blessing. He's so well spoken, insightful, and seems highly intelligent.

city is like sticking your head into an F22 turbine.

strapping young lad is the best fucking band name ever

Frenzal rhomb shirt on. Atta boy.

What the hell is humming in the background?

Alien was and is a true metal masterpiece. Even Gene Hoglan has said that he considers his performances on Alien to be some of his best work.

Chuck Schuldiner and David Townsend are the best

So down to earth yet so out there

Book of opeth in the back👌

Who sees the Opeth record behind Devin ;)

Oh to appreciate genius and uniqueness , just like my damn cat !!.

This man is so pure and honest. I love this guy.

This dude has an impressive Music CV
