HEVYDEVY FORUMS

Slipknot's Bass player died, they have had issues, they are on tour and possibly making a new album.

Ministry did their "C-U-La-Tour" in '08 with Hemlock and Meshuggah, and now are coming out with a new album and 6 show Tour.

My point being, some bands have had shit happen or disbanded, and sometimes come back to play a gig or two for the fuck of it.

Just a question, a simple answer works.

Will SYL come back to perform again ever? No new record or anything like that, just play? Have fun? Sooooo many people have missed seeing them live, and the world is HUNGRY.

Well, you can never say never, but Devin's head is in a completely different place now. If they ever did reunite for new music it wouldn't sound like SYL. It would sound like the heavy music Devin does now with Gene, Jed, and Byron playing it.

Maybe this could be stickied so that anyone desperate to see SYL can take a look, be disappointed and move on.

My guess is it'll be a fair while before we'd see Dev playing any of that ol' SYL material. Sorry.

To be honest I just don't see it. I lurb the SYL and all, but most of them 'part from Devin are in their forties and moving on. If I try to imagine it in my head it feels wrong.

Probably not, and almost every interview he's done since mid-2006 has a question about it, and the answer is basically to that effect.

The only reason I can't say definitely no, is the same reason I can't say gravity will stop tomorrow. I mean you can't technically know the future, but you can pretty strongly predict it.

The world isn't that hungry, btw. They're about as hungry for Dev without SYL, and ultimately there's a chunk of his fanbase that prefers SYL and there's a chunk that prefers his solo stuff.
