 |
|
| Quote: | Eight months ago he and his wife had their first child, Reyner Liam Johnstan Townsend, and his arrival has accelerated Devin’s decision to back away from the limelight, but is not the sole reason for it. He said these are feelings he’s had for some time, and is just so tired of touring and doing interviews and being the focus of things. He also said he’s tired of Strapping Young Lad. The last tour was a real struggle for him to muster any enthusiasm, mostly because SYL was initially created to vent all his frustrations, which no longer exist. He’s not the angry early-twenties nutter anymore. He’s a mellow mid-thirties nutter, and doesn’t feel the need to be screaming at everyone.
So, Strapping Young Lad is over for good. So is the Devin Townsend Band. Devin’s music will be made solo from now on, and he will continue to produce other peoples’ music, but will not tour. |
:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:
This is the worst day for music since John Lennon was born.
Let's raise a drinkie for poor dead SYL.
This is beyond gay. Strapping Young Lad were pretty damned grim. |

Devin Townsend is gay and it would be hilarious if he died of AIDS.

Devin makes great music.
He also said SYL was over about a week before The New Black was released. |

| Well, he just put out a new album called "Ziltoid The Omniscient" under the name of Devin Townsend (not The Devin Townsend Band), from what I've heard of it, it's really damn good. |

Do be honest, I haven't heard ONE song from any of his music.
But I insult him anyway :[
