Devin Townsend is the man! One of the true greats of our time. I love his work, especially Terria, Ocean Machine, Ki and Addicted. Can't wait for Ghost and Deconstruction!
The only reason I mention him now is that I saw him live yesterday... TWICE! I was at the front of his show last night, which was incredible, one of the best I've seen. I can't think of a better frontman. And he was so incredibly happy on stage! You can't fake that kind of happiness. I felt so good for him.
The first time I saw him yesterday, though, was at a clinic/signing session. He was a great, relaxed guy. He spoke about his writing process, how he's changed over the years, his gear, and general banter. He was also brave enough to pass his guitars around the crowd! There was also a signing session, where I got a cracking picture with him.
Here they are...
That's me, with his guitar, and Dev himself is RIGHT THERE! Now I'm a pretty small guy, but his guitar was huge, and heavy! He also liked his strap nice and low.
He was originally going to pull a semi-normal face, but saw my expression and went for a classic Dev. He was such a class act, really chilled and laid-back.
In summary... if you haven't already done so, check him out!!
