HELLO, MY NAME IS DEVIN. CAN I TAKE YOUR STINKIN’ ORDER?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 at 9:00am by

m_e53fc7d6addd4408af75b55c996c9f3aYo cats, I’m Devin Townsend. I’m a middle class, white Canadian male. I am bald with bad teeth and I am 37 years old. I used to front a band called Strapping Young Lad. I have put out around twenty albums between SYL and my solo records over the last eighteen or so years. I have a record label called HevyDevy Records that distributes my records to the the best of our ability. I produce and mix bands. I have done some great work and some shitty work. I don’t really care about downloading because the industry changed and I have never sold enough records for me to make more than a normal living. Please have a great day and thanks for any and all support.

I am in the middle of a four record project called “The Devin Townsend Project.” Ironically enough, and EGADS!, today I am taking over one of my favorite websites, MetalSucks.

I have a ton of things on my mind today, please enjoy… even if you hate my fucking guts, hopefully I can provide you with some cool stuff to chew on.

HOTCHA!

-Devin Townsend

    • Alkahest

      Same goes to you, jackass.

      • deanerhead

        Okay.

        Sometimes I think that in every straight there’s a gay!

        • Cisco

          That wasn’t important.

          • deanerhead

  • http://www.lancefestivalen.se Janne

    I actually was to focused on hanging with my kids to even notice you’d released Ki until, like, yesterday. Oh, baldheaded male, what should I do to repent for this atrocity?

  • http://www.hatespire.com Nymik

    All hail Devin Townsend! Addicted is awesome, can’t wait for Decon! =D and don’t listen to that arsehat.

  • Gaia

    In all seriousness, I dont think i have found anyone who doesnt like Devins music.

    • rachel

      I blaired some SYL this morning and my dad thought it was too loud. I told him he doesn’t understand good music.

  • RockOutWithMy…YouKnow

    Oh, and who makes your guitar in that pic? I’ve been hunting for a 7-string V forever!

    And great music, bro!

  • NeillyB

    Grymm – it’s a custom peavey.

    Looking forward to the posts today!

  • Skanes

    Thanks for being my beacon of light in an art form that I consider near-dead and tainted.

    Oh yeah thanks for doing this too.

    PS: I’ve got a boner for that Peavey prototype.

    I’ve always wondered how you could afford a home studio with your record sales… you deserve so much better it’s not funny.

    Love your work (all of it!), and can’t wait for the rest of today.

    Things are looking good thus far Mr. Townsend. My day will only get better if the gods of Amazon.com and the US postal service deliver your latest work in the mail today.

  • boob

    Devin…. why didn’t they get you to play the Hitman from the movie Hitman? Probably would have been a better movie… and you look perfect for the part…

  • Kuranes

    Oh No! Addicted is not on eMusic yet.

  • noobpotato

    I came

  • http://twoja-stara-gra-metal.blog.onet.pl/ Simon

    I’m still chewing on Addicted. But one thing remains unquestionable- Anneke is a godess! If I could marry a voice it would be hers… It’s beyond everything. Esp. on The Gathering’s Mandylion and HTMAP.

    Devin’s alright, too.

  • Mike House

    We love you here in the UK too Devin!

    • http://www.last.fm/user/M60Patton Patton

      We really do !

  • WowWee!

    Why didn’t you tour Vegas Devin? Now I have to drive to LA to see you! I’m not worth to recieve feedback from you, I’m not worthy!

  • I killed a Dunky

DEVIN TOWSEND, MY BROTHER WELCOME TO METALSUCKS, We long time listeners here in DR, come to DR and feel the flva of our Dominican Womans.. HAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  • Austin

    DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!! You’re the man Devin. I’m really pissed that I go to school in Halifax ’cause I really want to see that tour you’re doing with BTBAM, Cynic, and Scale the Summit. That could be one of the greatest packages ever. Really considering flying to Toronto or Mtl to catch one of those shows. Ziltoid fuckin’ rocked btw, one of the best records I heard from ’07. Also, your parts on the Human Equation were some of the best on that album. Just keep doin’ what you’re doin’ Devin. You Rock!!

  • nicos12

    Mr Townsend, thank you, My friend Arose show me “Love?”, and HOLY SHIT was that heavy, damn

  • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ \m/Eluveitie\m/

    It’s true, it’s really really true!! I heard about it, but I had to see for myself. Please leave MetalSucks in Mr. Townsend’s hands permanently.

  • hi my name is mark

    I say we sack Axl and Vince and make Devin Townsend the owner of devintownsendsucks.net!

  • bretton

    Man, I LOVE A&W burgers! those new sirloin ones… mmmmm

  • nada

    Thank you for all the wonderful music, Devin!

  • http://www.last.fm/user/M60Patton Patton

    I think you should get a beard or some other type of facial hair. Moustache would be EPIC and really fucking stupid :]

  • GangrenousTesticle

    The results are back, turns out Devin is objectively the best.

  • oBESTIALo

    btbam is better

  • Christopher Jack

    Devin you are the man!

  • prives

    Strapping Young Lad rocks my hairy anus!

  • Alek

    Mr Townsend, I would hate you far less, had you not asked me personally to suck your cock just for standing in the front row.

    • Isaac

      Oh, do shut up. That’s hilarious.
