Anyone know if Devin will be playing before or after Katatonia tonight @ GAMH in SF tonight?

edit: did some research, looks like Devin and Katatonia take turns headlining and it's Katatonia's turn tonight.

second edit: he played lucky animals and a lot of people were doing his youtube dance. it was pretty bloody awesome.

Devy seems a bit nervous & worse for wear while recording, I hope he gets this done before he has another meltdown :ohdear:

Follow him on twitter. He's posting that he's very tired, strung out, under pressure etc. He hinted that after Z2 he's going on a long vacation.

I have a hunch that soon after realizing how amazing it is to crowd-fund his projects and how humbled he was by the 500%+ he got, he's now feeling obligated and under pressure to deliver.

I finally got around to really listening to Ayreon's The Human Equation where Devin does a few guest vocals. Man, he loving nailed it.

Spectacular album, probably my favorite one by Arjen. Mikael from Opeth is on it too.

About Devin's part of it, he had creative freedom even though Arjen didn't really know him. Wrote his own lyrics, recorded it himself in Canada. Arjen basically said in email "OK so you're playing 'rage' on this concept album" and Devin went "OK when I'm back from touring I'll create something and send it over".

quote:

- How did you get in touch with Devin?
Arjen: I got his emailaddress from our mutual label Inside Out and asked him if he would be interested to guest on this Ayreon album. At first he simply said ‘no’, because he doesn’t like to sing other people’s lyrics and melodies. Because I really wanted to have him on this album I suggested that he could write his own lyrics. He agreed, so I sent him the instrumental tracks, explained him what the story is about and told him I would like him to portray the emotion ‘Rage’.

Just watched his show at Wacken. "I was in the studio until 10 this morning. This is loving weird!". Dude needs a long break.

I saw Devin play 2 tours ago, and they were alternating the headline with another band. 1 night it was Devin's turn, the other night was another band. This meant it was a bad game of knick knack paddy wack as to whether you got to see his full show.

edit: got a response from Devin re: pledge stuff, he's still working on some of them including mine. I hope I didn't stress him out :(

Seconding Addicted. That's my go-to recommendation for someone that may not have been exposed to a lot of progressive rock, metal or experimental stuff in general.

The end of Storm on that album, his vocals, really shows off his amazing blend of screaming/clean vibrato. Quintessential Devin right there.

so the really old YouTube account on which this 'official but low quality' leak resides is his buddy or something? or is it an actual leak and he heard about it, so now he's going along with it?

So the rep from Northern Music listed on the pledge page as the person to contact has stopped responding after I asked about never receiving my reward. He initially responded within a day stating "I know for a fact we sent it twice" but when I asked why they would have Devin draw my reward twice and send it twice when I had only reported it as missing last week, all of a sudden he went silent.

Anyone else here still waiting on their stuff?

edit: 4 minutes after I tweet Devin asking if there's someone else I can work with from Northern, he tweets

Hi guys, I will personally be taking over the pledge thing in a week or so. I'll sort it out. Thanks again for your patience.

Saw him in SF a few years back, got unlucky and he wasn't headlining that particular night. It's very disappointing and I wish it wasn't 'a thing'.

Still waiting on my pledge reward. I'm not mad, just disappointed that he bit off more than he could chew.

So sounds like the Royal Albert Hall show is going to be Ziltoid for the first half, then second half is a special 'by request' show and he's asking for suggestions.

It's been over a year, and I've had little success dealing with his minions, but this morning I finally got an email from Dev himself apologizing profusely for never sending me my casualties of cool pledge reward, and a promise that he was working on it. Side note, he uses an iPad.

I got myself too excited for this album I think. I've listened to it a few times and find it very, very boring. Disc 2 is better, though.

It really is like Terraria er Terria then.
