Well, the other week I was listening to Totalrock Radio and the following was said "Now, this next song is buy a guy who is a little bit of a God...", contined with Gaia then Wrong Side as an excuse to play another song.

If I were you, I'd rather a smaller strong fanbase than being a global celebrity; with the parade of haters. I've seen Nickleback being bottled before...I think people were too busy having mini orgasms at Download '06 to throw bottles at you :wink:

If you watch the video of it, everyone LOOKS like they are. It's generally bad manners to dislike the Dev here.

believe me Dev if you just made straight-up radio songs for Giant American Label you'd be better at it than any of these clowns, but who the hell wants to hear that? you make ART.

in twenty years nickelback's gonna have the cultural value of vanilla ice

you're gonna be devin townsend forever


F'n Oath. Most of my fav. ART comes from harsh places.

Fuckin A brutha......PTH are insane, especially since they are all like 20 years old. Fortress was way underrated, but I think that was because of their song structures. If you notice, their songs are kind of like a bunch of REALLY good chorus' slung together...BUT, thats what makes them THEM. I hope they don't pull a Nickelback.

Btw, didn't I hear somewhere in here that Dev did a PTH remix?

Indeed he did, it was extremely spacey and had an almost drum and bass kinda feel to it in parts. i highly reccomend listening to it if you get a chance :)

Dark Horse offended me on a level that I couldn´t just let go...and to top it off, it sounds amazing.

They obviously know what theyre doing though...so credit where credit is due. I have never met them, and I hear they are great guys. I did however hear a few years back some things about how some of the members thought I was cheesy. Could be wrong, but I´m a tiny bit defensive, so I need to make this record.

hmmm.


Fuck nickelfag. Gay ass half country wannabe bullshit. They are not even on the same planet with you Dev. Now I have one more reason to know how much they suck.

Saw them live last month and it was crazy good. And yeah, its on the Sequoia Throne Remix EP, and is pretty darn good. An entirely different take on it.

All we need to do is get somebody who everyone deems "cool" (like say, Carson Daily?) to tell the masses that Devin Townsend is great and is the latest trend, then suddenly all the cool kids would be sporting Devin Townsend tshirts, and theyd be playing his music all over the radio.

lol im referring to magazines and stuff like that. Back a few years ago, Carson Daily was someone who decided what was cool, so the result was a bunch of Crason Daily clones running around everywhere. i dont know why, but someone popular decides whats in and hip, so all the little sheep follow suit. i certainly dont feel this way, and i dont know how someone gets to the status of being a trendsetter. Just saying we need someone like that to promote Dev, and he'll be huge :)
