#325: Devin Townsend

Devin Townsend is back on the show for his record-setting fourth
appearance! We discuss his upcoming North American tour with Haken
and The Contortionist, how his latest album, Empath, has ties to
his journey into middle age, his realization that he is not a great
band member and how that affects the creative process, how being a
working musician is 80% logistics, all of his tours becoming
special, one-of-a-kind events, and his plans on playing Strapping
Young Lad songs this summer. Devin also shares his evolutionary
theory on why kids are mean to their parents and talks
accountability in music getting misconstrued as having a stance on
morality. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn, tackle the drunken Cameo
video that Vince Neil made for a fan, Lamb of God’s entire new
record being political in nature, and the joy of knowing Danny
DeVito is a Mr. Bungle fan. Songs: Devin Townsend - “Genesis,"
Loathe - “Screaming," Irist - “Burning Sage” Learn more about your
