HEVYDEVY FORUMS

Hi Tracy, I hope everything is going well with Reynor.

I was just wondering when the very first time you saw Devin play guitar was. How much has he improved in your eyes since then?

Thanks,
All the best.

I wouldn't know a good guitar player from a bad one. I can comment on the immense amount his voice has improved though. The first time I saw Dev sing was Nov 1991 when he guested a song at a show for Byron's Caustic Thought (I thought 'wow, that guy's pretty cute' ). And he was a very charismatic front man even then. We didn't meet until 2 months later when introduced by friends at a Grey Skies show. The difference in his voice from then to now is stunning. Sheer determination. There was a time when he wasn't sure he could sing well enough but kept practicing and became in my opinion, amazing.

Opinion seconded. Do I hear any "ayes"?

Awesome, thanks Tracy.

I've always wondered WHEN exactly Devin became such a kick-ass singer and composer. I mean, listen to Ocean Machine - what a masterpiece and he was what - 23ish or so when he recorded that. and his voice...just listen to TDOM. awesome. I always have the feeling, that dev was born like that

Just listen to the kiddie samples off of HAARHT If that is him

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaye!




Oh sorry. My keyboard appears to be hyperactive from time to time (or is it my forefinger?)
