Just watched the documentary, really cool, I have one burning question that someone may be able to answer. Guitarist Dave Young (I think that's his name right?) looks really familiar and it took me a while to place it. If anyone has ever seen Slayer's DVD War at the Warfield, there are sections where hardcore Slayer fans are being interviewed. They interview one kid (and he looks about 16) which I SWEAR is Dave. Anyone ever seen this? Anyone confirm it's him?

I just skimmed through the DVD on Youtube. I think I found the kid you're looking for:

He does look a little like Dave, though I doubt it's him.
Dave's a pretty chill and quiet dude. This kid looks and sounds like a young Adam Sandler.

Yea that's the kid. Stick a beard on him and it could be Dave. I agree that Dave does seem to be a quiet kinda guy but that could totally be him. We don't know him at all so that could have been exactly how he acted at that age, plus who knows if he was under the influence of something when he was interviewed, pre gig or post gig. I seriously think it could be him. Dave's probably about my age as well which would fit.

Metro · « **Reply #1017 on:** August 15, 2016, 06:37:29 AM »

According to Wikipedia(However reliable that is..) Dave's from Vancouver and would have been 19 when Warfield was filmed(Which was in San Francisco.). I suppose it's possible, but I don't really buy your logic of "It looks kinda like him therefore it must be him."

I tweeted him that link to the video and asked if it was him.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #1018 on:** August 15, 2016, 07:21:11 AM »

Yea, fair enough. I'm not saying it's definitely him but I've always been good at recognising actors when they were younger in films/TV etc. It's obviously more likely that I'm wrong but I always thought he looked familiar from something I've seen and then it clicked that it was that DVD that I was thinking of

I find it really interesting how many of Devin's amazing tracks are bonus tracks or not on official releases. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking Cry Forever, Take My Ego, Thing, Ho Krll, Quietus, Socialization, Where You've Been, Aquarius and Perspective - among those is some of Devn's best material, but they are released in a way that the average Devin listener might never know about them.

Oh yeah. And Drench, Mend, Fall, Cold Feet, ... So many awesome non-album tracks.

Just listened to this for the first time...

Still wish he released Ghost 2 properly. Every tiny bit of music I've heard is just amazing. Even the snippet of "Coming Home" (still unreleased whatsoever) in his riffwork preview video from 2013 is amazing.

Part 2 of the Documentary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUW67u0bf6M&feature=youtu.be

nicmos · « **Reply #1030 on:** August 17, 2016, 12:21:55 PM »

That new music from part 2 of the documentary sounds good too! I'm definitely hyped about the new album now. Sounds like DTP is back on track!

mikeyd23 · « **Reply #1031 on:** August 17, 2016, 12:52:26 PM »

Part 2 was great, good look at the drum process.

Onno · « **Reply #1032 on:** August 17, 2016, 01:25:22 PM »

I haven't heard Failure yet, since I'm confident Devin will deliver a great album and am therefore waiting for the whole thing. I did, however, watch both of the documentary parts, and they are really awesome! RVP is such a great person.

I can't wait until Dev records that song. Someone in the comments section of that vid claims he performed the song at a Perth guitar clinic, anyone happen to know of the video he's referring to?

adace · « **Reply #1034 on:** August 17, 2016, 08:08:38 PM »

The song playing in part 2 sounds awesome. Really looking forward to this album.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #1035 on:** August 17, 2016, 09:05:04 PM »

"Hearing my voice. I'm all...erhemdhdh."
"I thought that too."

These guys are hilarious. I enjoy the last parts with them watching the vids.

wolfking · « **Reply #1036 on:** August 18, 2016, 06:33:57 AM »

I'm a casual Devin fan but I really like Failure. I just love it when he solos, he doesn't do it anywhere near enough and he plays fucking well. Will pick this one up.

ChuckSteak · « **Reply #1037 on:** August 18, 2016, 07:46:41 AM »

I agree. His solo in Deep Peace, for example, is amazing.

+1 it makes that song for me!! It's like, the perfect solo

Scorpion · « **Reply #1039 on:** August 18, 2016, 01:00:32 PM »

Yup. My favourite guitar solo of all time, it's just magical.

Not sure about favourite ever but it's well up there.

Also, you just hit 8888 posts

So it only just hit me that the end of Colour My World "You are a puppet! I am a puppet! We are all puppets!" was probably meant to be taken literally. Ziltoid is a puppet show. hence the Ziltoid sock puppet.

You know what else? The rhythm of that section is the same as the little electronic morse code bit at the end of Strapping Young Lad's Alien album. Starting at 11:18 in the track Info Dump.

Get it?

It's also on Spotify in case that video goes bust (will probably get an official video later).

jakepriest · « **Reply #1045 on:** August 18, 2016, 06:13:27 PM »

Don't dig this one as much as Failure based on first listen. Vocal melodies are very weak here.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #1046 on:** August 18, 2016, 06:23:17 PM »

That's a good one. It's soft but heavy at the same time.

adace · « **Reply #1047 on:** August 18, 2016, 06:45:16 PM »

Really great song. Maybe a bit too long but overall I like it better than Failure.

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #1048 on:** August 18, 2016, 07:48:12 PM »

This song is SO Terria. Feeling more confident about preordering sometime soon.

This is factually incorrect, the proof being that I actually like this song.

Yea, this ain't bad. Very classic dev for sure, which is nice. And I'm really digging the new production. Hopefully the days where all vocals are essentially done by choirs of Dev, leaving no discernible lead vocals are over.
