^ this is why viewing the Metallica forums is amusing. Loads of 15 years olds crying "we are the fans, we pay your wages, IT IS YOUR DUTY!"

Well it has been... 17 years since they put out a proper Metallica album, at least they have a reason to complain Devin said he was going to take a break and a couple of months later we had The Hummer. And then Ziltoid. We've been spoiled, lately.

The man fucking rules.

QFT.

Cool.

Long may you run.

You raise two very good points

Thanks for the clarifications, Dev. I'm glad you're going to take the extra time to record and release more material, because honestly, that part isn't even about the quality of the music. It's about making sure things are right first. I'm happy to hear you've been clean too. It's awesome... Anyway, have a nice one.

as allways you are the man devin cant wait till you put out a new cd anyways take care bro.

Yeah don't get me wrong...it's not that people not in my circle aren't as important...I've just been infested with a bunch of rude people that use the phrase 'you owe us' and I just find it annoying...it has actually kept me away longer than needed. Not trying to be a dick.

You owe us? What the hell? How do you owe US? With all these brilliant albums you have been making, we should owe YOU. You fucking rule man, every album you have made has been unique in its own way and they still rock. Can't wait for this next album. But man, I wouldn't care how long it takes this next album to come out, just when ever you're ready.

Well, some folks are just plain stupid... I think that you have done such a great records already, i'm very happy listening them while waiting for something new to come by. "It's just entertainment folks"

Just joined the Forum and got stuck into this thread!

Great reading about whats really happening and not just sh?tty rumours. I love Dev's work and it will be with me for the rest of my life, so I can easily wait until The Man is ready to release a new disk... anyway, I just found "Sit in The Mountain" on the HD site; a track I didn't know about, . I love it when that happens!!

Stay true

You guys are cutting Devin way too much slack. Some of us require new Devin Townsend music for sustenance, much like the mythical vampire, which must drink the blood of young virgins to stay alive. If I don't have a new Devin Townsend album by the time John McCain is inaugurated, I may be forced to compose a strongly-worded post describing how Devin has let down his fans, all of whom I speak for, and threaten to pirate some other artist's music instead. I am completely serious.

P.S. The album must be the heaviest thing I have heard in my life, or I will formally declare that Devin has "sold out". This will be devastating to his reputation, as I am very popular and well-respected in the Internet community.
