Devin Townsend citáty

Devin Garrett Townsend je kanadský hudebník a producent žijící v Britské Kolumbii. Jeho hlavními nástroji jsou kytara a vokály. Jeho hudba spadá do mnoha žánrů, nejobecněji se popisuje jako tzv. progressive metal s prvky industrial hudby a dalších.

Před lety mu byla diagnostikována bipolární afektivní porucha, tou však dnes již netrpí. Jeho psychický a fyzický stav se rapidně zlepšil zejména po vysazení marihuany a alkoholu.

Vystupuje se svým projektem The Devin Townsend Project a, do nedávna, se svou skupinou Strapping Young Lad, která se ovšem roku 2007 rozpadla po dvanácti letech aktivní tvorby v neměnné sestavě. Vedle Strapping Young Lad vystupoval mnoho let s projektem The Devin Townsend Band, pod jehož hlavičkou nahrál většinu svých sólových alb. Wikipedia

Devin Townsend: Citáty anglicky

“I started to see human beings as little lonesome, water based, pink meat, life forms pushing air through themselves and making noises that the other little pieces of meat seemed to understand. I was thinking to myself, 'There's five billion people here but we've never been more isolated.' The only result of the aggressive individualism we pursue is that you lose sight of your compassion and we go to bed at night thinking, 'Is this all there is?”

because we don't feel fulfilled.

“The thing with the STRAPPING thing is that, it might sound cheesy but whatever I say I'm going to do I'm going to do. I told them I'd do five records — I did five records. At the end of it they offered us this big deal, we'll re-sign you, we've got all these big bands that'll take you out on the road now. I just said 'I'm done, I told you, I'm done.' There's a good chance that if it hadn't gone to the level that it has then we might be doing it still.”

“I want the ability to do whatever I want without a whole fleet of lawyers and record companies analyzing it and telling me what to do. It's like the success of doing it that way doesn't mean enough to me as an artist or a person for me to fight about it. I'm not going to fight anymore I'm just going to do it the way I want to do it. Why am I going to do it that way and be so obstinate? Because I don't care enough about it to spend that much time on it.”
