My friend pointed this out to me...

On Godflesh - Streetcleaner, there's a song called Dead Head. AND theres a song called Tiny Tears. dun dun dun DUNN

Devin has said he was a Godflesh fan didn't he? Because this is too cool.

He is. Streetcleaners a crazy awesome album

Yeh Dev actually copied a riff from one of the songs on the 'Pure' album can't remember which one.

I Wasn't Born To Follow, yeah. The same riff is in All Hail The New Flesh, one of the slower moshy ones.

And now on Addict there's a song called Godflesh

I Wasn't Born To Follow, yeah. The same riff is in All Hail The New Flesh, one of the slower moshy ones.

Is the "I was born not to follow" line in Let It Roll harking back to that song as well?

I'm sure either Devin/SYL supported Godflesh at one point, but I can't remember when. Possibly along with Fear Factory? I might just be going mad though.

Don't know if Mr Broadrick has ever mentioned Dev.

I Wasn't Born To Follow, yeah. The same riff is in All Hail The New Flesh, one of the slower moshy ones.

Is the "I was born not to follow" line in Let It Roll harking back to that song as well?

unless it's a Byrds reference.

Or a Social Distortion reference. that would be cool.

all the associations are no coincidence

there's Dead Head/Deadhead, Tiny Tears/Tiny Tears
I Wasn't Born to Follow riff is in All Hail the New Flesh

Amidst the side-projects and Broadrick’s energies being fuelled elsewhere, Godflesh released the album ‘Hymns’ in 2001 and switched to the label Music for Nations, propelling them on a tour of Britain with Industrial heavyweights Fear Factory, before embarking on a tour in December 2001 with Devin Townsend and Kill II This. But Broadrick could never recover from his demons and in 2002 suffered a nervous breakdown that was the final straw in the decision of Godflesh to separate.
