hey i ad green day to this, as they total ripped of Townsend idea he did 4 records they did 3 and then they played those 3 records on one night when Townsend did his over 4 nights. Yeah totally not copying Townsend are you green day ?

I have always thought the similarity a little too close to comfort between Green Day and Dev. Have a listen to Dookie and Ocean Machine back to back: could be the same album, right? (apart from the covers being different).
Imagine my shock, then, when I realised Green Day released Dookie 2 years before OM was even recorded! Did Dev listen to Basketcase and rush off to write Voices in the Fan? Or, as I I prefer to believe, did that fatfaced pissant in Green Day steal Dev's nascent thoughts from the spirit ether and commit them to tape before Dev had a chance to?
I think we should be told.

While we are on the subject, I am pretty sure Opeth nicked most of Heritage from The Offspring.

Fucking lol

There's a metal band from here in the Bay Area but a bit north in Santa Rosa called Stomach. Don't know if they are still active but the whole of the Dev influence is there.

Despite your irony, there's some truth in it!

proff at last

I thought the new Faceless album was Dev and Mike Akerfeldt...

Yeah there's def some riffs from deconstruction on their new album.

I think it is fair to say that quite a proggy froggies otu and about nowadays are influenced by some part of Dev's discog even if they never outright say it.

I came across this band called Above The Earth and I could hear so much Dev in them. Not a rip-off in any way but feels obviously inspired, then I found out they've actually put out a Supercrush cover. I would link but I'm at work so can't go on YouTube

Ah yeah, I wasn't saying it was a rip-off I'm just saying even without I think you can hear Devy's influence in their stuff. They're such a great band, looking forward to hearing more from them.

Not ripoffs but im hearing a lot of band that are clearly influenced by some of devins stuff incl the omega experiment and imminent sonic destruction (see the first track of thier album)

*edit looks like someone beat me to the punch wiht TOE their recent album is a Ziltoid worship album with a heavy dose of Accelerated

When you say "TOE" what band are you referring too that is has lots of Ziltoid worship with Accelerated Evo. I would be interested in hearing that..

Thanks!
