Talking of The Red And The Black, I have a few bottles of it in along with some regular Trooper and some Hallowed for my birthday on Friday. Things could get very messy 😂.
Always wanted to go to his Albert Hall shows around this time but never made it, did see him a couple of times in Glasgow. Very slick, sometimes to much so. Always great sidemen though, Derek Trucks, Robert Cray and Doyle Bramhall II when I saw him.
After removing himself from the music industry, Townsend cut his trademark hair off and gave up drinking and smoking. Townsend found it "disconcerting" that he had difficulty writing music without drugs, and that he had trouble identifying his purpose as a musician. He spent a year producing albums in absence of writing, but found it unrewarding and decided to "pick up the guitar and just write". This began a period of "self discovery" where he learned "how to create without drugs".
Over two years, Townsend wrote over 60 songs, and found that they fit into "four distinct styles". In March 2009, Townsend announced his plans for a four-album series called Devin Townsend Project, with the goal of clarifying his musical identity and being "accountable" for the persona he projects to the public. The project's concept includes a different "theme" and a different group of musicians on each album.
Device Townshend used to do a radio show on Team Rock radio as his alter ego Ziltoid the omniscient. It was weird and funny and very rude at times lol.
