Is quoting a video over and over bad for PA server space?
He listens to Nickelback? Not for the music but for the production? weird.
I'm not a big fan of his Devins music at all really, I can see now where our tastes differ

DT knows exactly what he's doing... he's been using protools for what, 15 years? the thing that always amazes me about his records is the production... it's tight without seeming overcompressed.. in a different world he would be bob F****** rock...in the sense that he would be a 'sought after producer' of metal & mainstream rock albums.. but i think he has found a better way to make a 'living' for himself and his family... he's not greedy/desperate and it shows... i think he's accepted his life without becoming desperate... hopefully, he'll avoid mid-life crisis.. but it's unpredictable and could be very 'entertaining' ... ;P

Count me among Voivod fans, all eras melted. Rooaaarrr (sorry, don't remember the number of o, a and r) was one of the first thrash metal CDs I bought.

I'm new to Devin Townsend's music, and from what I've heard from Addicted and Deconstuction I would have thought that metal was HIS music. I think that there's a lot of softer-edged metal bands that Devin doesn't know about (Porcupine Tree, Fates Warning, Pain of Salvation, Threshold), bands that might be more suited to him. Devin seems like a genius though, so I won't tell him what to listen to

Haha, reminds me very much of an interview with Ron Jarzombek around 1990 where he said that he doesn't listen to Metal at all but to music like Janet Jackson, only because of the mix and production and Allan Holdsworth of course...
Devin's music is great, the only issue I have sometimes is the similarity of the sounds and synths.

I am surprised that Devin Townsend doesn't listen to metal! This is like telling Mike Portnoy doesnt listen to progressive rock!

I'm the same way.
My own music is prog/metal/experimental - and most of my daily listening is punk and indie!
Its weird - sometimes a composer doesn't produce the kind of music he listens to. Its a weird phenomenon, but its the way I've been since I got out of grad school.
