5 Steps to Devin Townsend

Try linking any musician with Devin in less then 5 steps. Rules are that the people linked to him have to be through people who have covered his songs or people he's played or toured with, or notable happenings (for instance Jethro Tull could be linked to Metallica because of the Grammy Award incident).

EX: Dave Mustaine

1. Dave was in Metallica
2. Jason Newstead played bass for Metallica
3. Jason Newstead played with Devin in IR8

i personally think it's a really fun game, and there are several different ways to get to Devin with the same people. So I guess I'll start. Try linking Roger Daltry with Devin Townsend in less then (or equal to) 5 steps.

Roger Daltrey:

1. Daltrey sang for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra once.
2. The dude from Metal Church sang on a TSO album.
3. The covered Deep Purple's "Highway Star" on an album of theirs.
4. Highway Star is on Rock Band.
5. Um...a Rush song is in Rock Band, and Devin covered a Rush song once.

I keep getting this odd hint that some of the newer members to the forum are a little...infatuated with Devin...not Chip in particular though...

Yes.

It is quite unhealthy to be obsessed with another person.






Ok in all fairness I'm being a dick right now lol.

Well, cast the stone first if you're not rushing to the "any chance of some news" thread to post something when Dev's there :)

Infatuated? Sure I am. Maybe it's his animal magnetism.

Hey! You should know I cant wait to hear news or samples of Dev's new stuff! I'm just not to the point where I want to try to link Dev to some obscure person. I mean I can link Dev to myself, look:

Me and Devin

1.I met Gene Hoglan back in 2006 at an SYL show
2.Gene played for SYL
3.Devin was the creator/mastermind behind SYL

SEE ITS THAT EASY. But I'm far from infatuated! haha

Woah, woah. You mean you don't ogle Devin's beauteous cue ball-ishness every time you listen to his tunes, stroking the pictures of him in the album booklet and rubbing them across your chest with a look of blissful idiocy?

What a square. :roll:

I do this all the time. Just to make sure I'm cool 8)

And if you want infatuated - go to www.jrockrevolution.com and check there forums out. THEN call us infatuated. :P

I'll try this game later, when I can think of someone obscure enough :D

Talking about DsD, much? :lol: It's funny because it's true :wink:

I just really like the guy, I think he's neat. I don't have a little shrine devoted to him or anything though. I promise xD
