That's a very rudimentary and ultimately inaccurate reduction of somebody with a deep and varied catalogue. There are certainly some albums he's done that are more commercial and less interesting, but the whole reason he retired
Yeah that’s a pretty ridiculous statement. The guy just loves music ands does what he loves. Don’t see how you could listen to Terra or City or Ocean Machine and come to the conclusion that he’s trying to make a buck.
I just googled Devin Townsend. Now I wish I doesn't. Looks like a guy who put a lot of effort to make a profit out of mainstream music camouflaged as something that has depth and quality. Almost like Christian rock in South Park.
I know there are more of us here than Marcel and I... (I'm looking at you Lord Regnier and BitterCOld)
I figured we could use a thread of our own to discuss those things that are a concern to us aging metalheads, like actually buying albums and reminiscing about the scenes we grew up on and other things of little interest to all these young whippersnappers that are overrunning this place.
So...how many of us can still pull off the long hair without a hat? I know I'm out.
I have been here as 8-19 years old pal, now I am 34, and many of us has been here 15 years as well. I am curious, how many of old members has family, children?

To be fair, this thread started out in '09 at 35+. Marcel just editing to tack on years to keep the riff-raff out.
and after re-reading this thread again, wonder if Cone Metal is still out there banging his head in Bolivia... would be 70 now. \m/
Jean is 60 something as well. Richard is 45 something, Jason and early admin from USA hmmm his name was hmmm 40 something.
I feel my self between, i am old on Maco eyes, time flys but i feel same, dont consider me as old, only hangowers can take 2 days, more tired a bit slow as I was 15 years ago

I don't belong to the thread (yet) but even I sometimes have a beer belly. Or food belly. Overall I have a skinny structure because I've been skinny ever since I was a kid, but I never cared enough to exercise or diet, so most of the time my belly grows more than the rest of my limbs, therefore I start looking like those little devil things you see on the movies with skeletal limbs and a big round paunch.
But it oscillates. Sometimes I'm eating healthier so I get slim again. Sometimes I'm not, then the belly rises again.
For the lazy people out there: the secret to eating healthy is not buying food. If you don't have that snack on your shelf you are simply not going to take it, because you are too lazy to get out and buy it. Also, you don't really feel the diet effort when you do it that way.

I belong here lol
I don't exercise. I have no motivation, I go yo work, you know in winter, real winter whit 1m snow, snowing, blizzard sub zero t it takes double so long time and energy. So it's double effect to walk to work, boots, long skippes and so on. I am often walk in a snow, try walk if it'd 1m
So it's my training hehe. No gym. I try dont use car to work, needs have angine heating, drive to work I need keep engine running 20min to simplify it work.
I have beer belly small, I have lung problems and heart isuue as well, so training is hard. I am close to dying age, so to me only what left is beer.

interesting. so you are a little boomer but not quite ?
Not a boomer at all. Gen X is the generation between the Boomers and Millennials. Not sure what is hard to grasp. Then again, you're introduction into a thread centered around metal fans who've been into the genre for 30, 40 years and been active on the site for for a decade and change was to insult and try to act bad ass.
