Hip-Hop Head REACTS to DEVIN TOWNSEND: "DEADHEAD" (Live at Royal Albert Hall) 

Devin Townsend probably one of the best live performers/singers ever.... and his band.🔥🔥🔥

I was there, 3 hours of Hevy Devy! Amazing gig!

This is the first reaction to this song that I've seen where they actually realize why Dev says "Pick a tempo."

Wait until he realises Devvy was actually sick during this performance !!

If you like Devvy, have a look at strapping young lad - Love?. Amazing

This song got me through last year.

I love Devin's guitars. They're always super clean. Speaking of cleans, I love how he just effortlessly switches between them and distorted vocals (fry screams)

So happy you've reacted to this. This song is a perfect song by Devin. So emotional, raw and powerful. If you would like another Devin song to react to, please give The Death of Music a go, from the same concert. It's 10 minutes of just bliss. Love the reaction as always.

First I get the new Devin Townsend album in the mail today and now this! Today was a good day!

The following Devin Townsend videos you should react to next (follow the first 3 in that order and you'll thank me later). 1. Devin Townsend "Funeral" Royal Albert Hall 2. Devin Townsend "Bastard" Royal Albert Hall 3. Devin Townsend "The Death of Music" Royal Albert Hall 4. Devin Townsend "Genesis" (Official Video)

Long time watcher, first time poster. What a track to react to. The live performance far outstrips the studio version (even though it’s amazing too). Devin Townsend is pretty much a genre unto himself now haha. Try blackened call by Belzebubs. They show that you don’t have to take black metal seriously and can be funny 😁 Keep up the great work!

Should do an entire week of Devin Townsend reactions in honor of his new album release.

Now you need to react to the death of music by devin... it´s the next logical step!

Dude I'm so happy you managed to do it! Great performance, one of the best ever. Btw I loved the intro haha. Cameraman Alex's delivery reminded me a bit of Bill Burr, especially when he says "that's all you had to do". For another sort of performance video from Devin that also really shows his sense of humor is "NAMM 2016: Devin Townsend Live at the Dunlop Booth"

I'm so happy to see that you enjoyed Deadhead. I've waited so long for you to see this. Devin is such an amazing musician and person. If you liked Deadhead then I'm sure you'll love "March of the Poozers" from the same concert. (Live at Royal Albert Hall) You've got to be introduced to Ziltoid The Omniscient! 😁

Devin is Perfection, and this song proves it❤️🔥🤘... FYI, he had a cold during this performance. And still nails it.

Hello friend Alex. My name is Cesar and I speak from Brazil. I would like to congratulate you on this wonderful reaction from David Towsend. I'm currently subscribing to your channel for the friendliness and joy of your videos. A big hug from Brazil and the city of Poços de Caldas ... state of Minas Gerais.

You NEED to do a double Devy reaction to new tracks 'Spirits Will Collide' & 'Genesis'!

You should definitely try Mgła - Exercises In Futility V or VI or With Hearts Towards None VII. Don't let its black metal genre and 8 minutes of song discourage you they are fantastic and you will wish it last longer.

I wasn't expecting a sketch at the beginning of the video. Well done.

Periphery - Reptile Give them a real chance with a (nearly) 17 minute journey.

Honestly, if you like this performance, you should check out The Death Of Music (Live at the Royal Albert Hall). It's from the same show, obviously, and it is by far the best vocal performance I have ever seen. And I wish I could have gone to that show to witness it first hand.

possibly his greatest song. really hits me in the feels.

Dude I'm so happy you managed to do it! Great performance, one of the best ever

Dude, I was cracking up in that intro. Very clever.

When i turn a friend onto Devin i show them Kingdom live at EMG

As every metalhead worldwide...you are officially a FULL metalhead. Why? Simple...you have a split personality disorder. Welcome home, son. Enjoy the ride. Both of you.

This 2 he concert was done with a cold and he nailed every song. Listen to Funeral from this concert, Amazing. Devin is a perfectionist and it shows in all his concerts. He's also a smart ass, humble and had a great connection with his audience. Devin is God and my Lord and Savior 💯🤘🔥🖤

Absolutely love the intro with the 2 you's lol. Great vid!

Saw Devin for the first time a few nights ago and after over 100 shows over 11 years it was one of the most fun, Positive, and Jaw Dropping performances that I’ve ever seen!!!

If you continue on the Devin Townsend kick, react to "Higher" specifically the concert from 2017.

the skit at the beginning was really well done, i hope to see more of that lol

Bro Alex love you stuff. Shit’s hilarious and entertaining and you provide a genuine take and give a personal outlook on everything you put out. Im into all types of music but “metal” has always been a big one for me and the way you carry these videos really speaks to me and shows a lot of dedication and how you’re willing to surpass and learn and grow with all these types of music.

Devin is one of my favourite singer , with his voice can switch from an angel to a devil in a few moments, please react to more Townsend 🤘🤘

Oh hell yes. I’ve been waiting for you to do this one!!!

Please React to Alter Bridge - Words Darker than their Wings Live at the Royal Albert hall

Finally, I was expecting this react since you started

This is the definitive version of this song and I'm so glad you finally did this. Lost count of how many times I've seen him live and met him once. Each time I've seen him I get goosebumps.

DevinTownsend DE BESTIES! So glad you were able to enjoy, hes got a lot more great tunes too! But this is one of my fav songs for sure.

I saw Devin Townsend Project live a year or so ago and it was legit the best show I've ever been to! He is amazing!

Bout damn time seriously glad you reacted to this man /,,/

Jason Richardson: Hos Down. It's instrumental and will blow your mind! I recommend the Meinl cymbals video. It's live in studio

There's so much incredible devin townsend videos/clips/songs that you can react to, hopefully there'll be more to come !

Devin is metal.......you should definitely listen to more of him.

I was there. Holy crap. Thank you for the react dude.

Love watching your reactions dude. I can feel that you feel it so that makes you a brother. Keep it up!

This is one of my all time favourite songs (one of many many many of course) and this live version in particular. Also; love your videos, keep up the great work and keep on bringing that positivity. Love it! Much love from Finland!

Ive watched this performance at least 10 times and it gives me chills every time.

I first heard this song from this channel. One of the best songs ive ever heard. THANKS ALEX!!!!

EVERY time I hear something from Devon I am astonished and amazed. Incredible artist, vocalist and musician!

Really glad you enjoyed, Alex. You should definitely check out The Death of Music or Bastard (both live versions)

Lol Loved the introduction! So funny! You absolutely have to watch more of Devin's live performances. It's really the only way to listen to Devin Townsend.

Devin is the man such a versatile singer. from strapping young lad to his own stuff its all really good. and he works soo damn hard into his songs

this is by my favorite video of alex number 1 that intro was genius and hilarious and cause you're reacting to DEADHEADED one of my top 10 favorites songs of all time.

The talent Devvy has is just astounding... one of a kind.

He is the best vocalist I’ve ever heard. Great reaction. I feel that way every time I listen to him. Badass guitarist also.

This is my favourite song of all time! Saw him play it live a couple weeks ago and he's still just as good! Absolute legend!

This song always gives me the chills. So badass!

Man i cry every time i hear this song.. amzing dudes!

Only a handful of reactors have done it including myself, but it is worth the long video to do Funeral, Bastard and The Death Of Music from this concert all together as it the perfect combo from Devin. They are always the best when all 3 are together. Hard to imagine, but it will blow you away even more.

Loved you reaction video. It made me smile. The venue in the Royal Albert Hall is divided in two parts. The first part is the Ziltoid musical which is amazing to say the least. If you love the music of Devin Townsend as much as I do this is something you have to watch. The song Deadhead was recorded in the second part of the concert where they played songs from Devin's long standing career. Another good watch is the "Retinal Circus". Another great musical. You won't be disappointed. First time I heard Devin singing was in 1993 on Steve Vai's third Album "Sex and Religion" I never lost track of him since I heard that record. I'm listening to his music for 30 years and I'm still getting chills and shivers running down my spine. Never tired of listening to his music. Keep up the great work. My best wishes to you.

That was the coolest and most creative idea You have had so long, to surprise is with the introduction to Your twin brother!! 😄😄 You are so unique and I love You and Your excellent work!! I'm enjoying it so much!! Honestly!! ALEX FOR PRESIDENT!! 😎

Found your account thanks to this song.. been in awe of this live video for like a week by now.. And having watched a few more reactions (the Blind Guardian one was good too.. love that band live) I'm definately hitting that subscribe button..

I had the great fortune to see DT in a small venue about a year ago. Mostly played the Transcendence tracks but also played many of the older songs. Such an amazing live performer, absolutely crushes it. Shook his hand at the end of one of the best concerts I've ever witnessed (and I've seen Rammstein, Grateful Dead, Rush, many others). Excellent artist on all levels and seems like a good human, too.

Damn Devin really is a powerful vocalist

Please react to Avantasia: the Scarecrow from the flying Opera live.

Made my day. I'm gonna see in tomorrow in cologne with his acoustic set. I'm so stoked

Amazing that you reacted to it! On a side note he was really sick during this concert and that part of the tour! Anyways he nailed as always

Please react to "DIRE STRAITS - Brothers in Arms".. BUT... close your eyes while listening!!

Dude, seriously, I always love your reactions, love that you've gained interest about Hevy Devy, I can't wait for you to react to his former bands, but I mostly wrote this comment to tell you that "Cameraman Alex" is a dope ass idea, keep on dude!

That intro was the best of any vid I’ve ever seen! I lol’d pretty hard haha

Appropriate reaction to a sick song and performance. Great job!

"Such a powerful and emotion filled voice that is just intoxicating to listen to, and it just vibrates and echoes through the room" Well put.

Holy shit. Legit had me laughing with the intro, love it. And been a Devy fan since 1997, so love the song too.

You will love this

I love that you love Dev!

:'DDD That intro was hilarious!

I'm glad to see someone who picks up on Devin's humor when I have seen others completely miss it

Such a powerful performance. Leaves me speechless every time I hear it. Also this live version is way better than the studio version

YOU FINALLY DID IT! Fun fact: I was there! I also got REALLY fucking sick half way through the show and projectile vomited all over the grand bathrooms of the RAH. Didn't stop me from being absolutely fucking floored by this performance though. Not only that, but apparently Devin had the exact same virus I caught that night (which completely incapacitated me for days) and was still stick that night. And he STILL sounded fucking incredible. Possibly one of the most memorable shows I've ever been to, for both the best and worst reasons.

Devin is an entertainer in every sence of the word and really loves his fans

😂😂😂 love the change up opening! 😆😃😁

I haven't listened to this song for about 4/5 yrs and my soul almost leaped out of my fucking body! Dev is a special one, for sure!

Devin Townsends older band "Strapping young lad " the song "Love" official video. It's a must watch! Great review!

Alex finally gets it - our work here is done *happy* :)

The comments here are awesome. A whole ton of Devy fans just enjoying the hell out of a new listener's reaction

Have to admit that my favourites reactions so far from you are the Devy ones. Now thanks to you Alex,i am going to do some shopping and get me a nice copy of that show on blue ray disc...just saw Universal flames video on my recommendation from that same show.Gonna watch that now.See Ya!🤘👿🤘

Devin Townsend is one of the best musicians on this pebble we call earth. I'm so happy you have included him on your channel. I suggest strapping young lad-detox. Older Devi in his angrier days

I like how YOU are having a good time experiencing this

More Devin please!

YES second Devin Townsend video! I'm ready for the next 100 videos you'll do about this guy :D PS: I like the little creative introduction ahah, that's fresh!

You really need to explore Devins entire catalog. This guy is beyond a lot of the other stuff youve listened to so far.

Now, you must listen to Funeral, Bastard and The Death Of Music as a trio, from the same gig. 3 songs but belong as a trio, and in fact is on RU-vid as a single video too - it's just incredible.

That was a great intro, I was not expecting that and BAM. That was great, what a great Monday. 😊🙌🏼

You should definitely check out the entire show - it's 110% amazing!

His voice gives me goose bumps!

I gotta listen to all Devin's albums now

Thanks that you reacted again to my hero! The new album is out. Genesis is a crazy one. :D

old video but love your observations. his screaming is brutal but so controlled. has a great rapport with his audiences.
