Bit odd but DTP covered an SYL track:

I wonder what the crowd were thinking when that happened. Not surprised he felt bad afterwards after everything he's said but must have been a real treat for some people to unexpectedly see such a rare thing.

By the way, just posting this to share it really. Not clinging on to any idea of ever seeing a Strapping reunion.

I kind of wish people wouldn't make such a fuzz about it. Then, perhaps, they might play a SYL tune from time to time... or not, I dunno.

You can see the video (and some discussion) here:

Dev has got to the point he can do whatever he wants, I believe, even if that means freaking out over it. The crowd seemed happy, though.

Ah sorry, didn't see it was posted there!

Just to hear the fans screaming with joy and singing along made me proud to be a part of the current generation of humans.

It is a tough call. I get that it sucks a large chunk of those into SYL never saw the material performed live. However even the gigs where James McDonough subbed for Byron felt wrong.
