If you could emulate any one of Dev's abilities to be exactly like him, which would it be? I'd probably choose his vocal abilities, mostly so i could sing along to his albums.

I wouldn't want his exact voice, but his vocal range and overall skills.

His vocal abilities! He's an insane motherfucker..... I am pretty happy with my musical skill level and songwriting, but he blows me away with his voice, always.

Songwriting probably....I would say singing, but a girl singing with Dev's voice might be a little scary!

Song writing, I'd love to have the mind which could conceive both infinity and terria

I picked songwriting, just look at Bob Dylan. Not bad at instruments, but not a very talented vocalist, however he's put together some amazing work in a great career.

Vocals.. I'd give anything to be able to sing like that. I can always learn guitar on my own ;)

You left off his drawing ability! Seriously, he has a good hand.

I think being able to sing along to the albums would be neat...instead of just muttering under my breath, heh.

Songwriting.

I admire his genius every second that I spend listening to his wonderful art.

I'm just being a bit silly, but the guy is actually quite talented in this respect. I think after the release of Physicist he was actually considering going to art college!

On a previous HDR site there was some images of Dev's drawn around the time of Infinity (I think) where he was sort of 'explaining' the concept of the album, sort of. I never saw the full piece, but it was a very interesting thing. I kinda hoped to see more of it!

Also, on Devlab, he did all of the layouts himself...and they are pretty cool.

I would like all three please!

I'd say I'd rather have his vocal abilities. I don't class myself as being a good singer (ok, I'm a really bad singer!) and I would love to be one of those people lucky enough to be blessed with a great voice!
