#463 - Devin Townsend

This week on The MetalSucks Podcast, we've got the one and only
Devin Townsend back on the show! This time around, we sat down to
discuss his recent effort to use social media to reach out to fans
to check in on them, the reality of the modern economy for a
mid-level touring band, and how sometimes his creative compulsions
go against his fanbase. Our discussion also veers into other
directions like what his thoughts are on embracing a section of his
audience that desires brutal music, the need in our genre to
categorize artists and albums, and recognizing that there is a
fracture that needs to be healed for us as a collective. In the
show, Petar and Brandon also discuss Darkthrone’s comments that
they'd rather never play live than be rich, Metallica being the
worst band of all time according to a pop singer, and Rob Halford
watching the Glam metal movement as a closeted gay man. Song: Devin
