Jeff Loomis soloing on new Keith Merrow stuff

[11LFitzgerald11]

54 seconds the cat in the background is jus like WTF how did he play that so DAMN fast

[Djwhooboy]

NAME OF SONG PLSSS ???? :DD

[Mauhadeeb28]

Loomis does the same "The River Dragon Has Come" solo in like 10 different solos. He just plays it faster and faster every time. Actually getting tired of it.

[straitouttahell]

I like the second take the most. Very Friedman-ish.

[gnsumas]

@straitouttahell pretty sure Keith did use the 2nd take :)

[killyou45]

I'd give a testicle to be able to play like loomis

[espjoshua]

1:12 "Don't feel bad, regular people can't play that." One of the funniest things I've ever heard and EXACTLY what I was thinking! LOL

[BuLblzhka]

Well I see cat, but where is carpet?

[travelinpicker]

heavy metal cat in background

[mikeygheetarz]

Epic win in fucking finger form.

[IbanezDemon]

holy shit!!!! :-O

[AxisOfHumanity]

fuckin metal!

[Hoybe]

2:13 ... nuff said

[jonrivera]

I love how Jeff Loomis is just so modest but fucking DEADLY at his craft. BLESS THIS MAN. And you diobolic5150, you are one fortunate son'bitch :)

[15viceandvirtues]

I love how one of metal's most insane shredders seems like one of the coolest guys to chill with!

..Wait, you BOTH seem like awesome dudes to hang with, haha!

[maxstatic]

I would have just been standing their like a mouth breather going "da fuuuuuuugggg"

[Pyroman1993]

1:10 don't feel bad, regular people can't play that :D well, kinda true

[april9089]

incredible skill

[PolStevenson]

i wish i was that cat :S

[zockerapfell]

incredible skill... watching players like loomis makes me try even harder and cry much harder at the same time :D

[TheRealrocker74]

That last one was definitely the take!

[NBshreder94]

That cat is way too cool to notice Jeff.

[bman0341]

Check out the cat in teh background turning it's head around at the last part of Jeff's first take. He's like "Oooooooooh...NASTY!!!!!" METAL KITTY!!!!!

[Ryu12543]

0:59 Skwisgaar Skwigelf in the hot tub.

[ardipithecus11]

Get the fuck out of my office man that shit was bitchin'.

[Punisher9696]

Will somebody please let that cat out?

[Painkiller86]

This is even more amazing than the time Michael Jackson came over to my house to use the bathroom!

[aureentulava]

Mmm tasty licks!

[Colton527]

First was badass

[Deviloe]

Man, first one was just.. Sexy! :D

[GuitarRonnie13]

first and third take were the best. First one sounded more... loomisy though. lol

[LunarLionheart]

@GuitarRonnie13 2nd one was WAY more Loomis, his signature lick was most of the solo!

[SpikeTheTomb]

is that a fat Siamese gazing out the window? I only ask because I also own a plump Siamese and she usually gazes out the window and ponders the meaning of life and such...

[kranskyman27]

Haha someone please tell me what this song is? I need it.

[ThaFiloon]

@kranskyman27 Heart of the Sea Nymph

[DanielSHRED]

i have no sound oO

[Inveracity91]

what song is this?!

[dan04cobra]

00:53 is the exact expression I had when listening to this solo. Kitty was impressed too.

[dan04cobra]

Can you play like him if you sit in the chair he used? If so, I'd be interested in buying this chair. Also, does your cat have any idea the almighty Messiah is in his living quarters?

[offom]

Thumb us for the cat !

[aynsleyj218]

I downloaded the album, listen to it and i just love it it's all great. By the way how'd you meet let alone record with Jeff Loomis?!

[MeatRock3t]

did you play his guitar ?

[diobolic5150]

@MeatRock3t Indeed! 

[TheElectricFred]

@diobolic5150 Omg that would be awesome xD

[H3lloSE]

@diobolic5150 have you washed your hands since that day? I hope not -__-

[givemeajackson]

@diobolic5150 keith, will you and jeff form a band? i'd imagine this to be fucking awesome, you are both riffing gods! and since jeff doesnt have a band at the moment that would fit, right?

[jwspitz35]

what song is this? It sounds awesome I wanna check it out

[djg0603]

@jwspitz35 Heart of the Sea Nymph by Keith Merrow. This is his channel buddy :)

[Jotun6662]

Prrffff, awesome!

Not only Jeff shreds like a beast, but also puts a lot of heart into his solos. I really like that he is not a runner and is constantly picking, but gives time for the solo to breathe

[Darkinners]

Keith: don't feel bad, regular people can't play that.

Jeff: regular people? chuggahahah

[jacksdrumshop]

"don't feel bad...regular people can't play that"

[MegaSupremeKai]

Can someone tell me, is that awesome sweep thing he does at 8 seconds from a song?? i've heard it somewhere before.

[FunkMuker]

@MegaSupremeKai It's not exact, but it sounds like a bit from Opeth. Bleak maybe.

[JeanAlexandre707]

1:16 "hahaha!! regular people..."

[ultimateRupture]

the riff after the solo is omfg... amazing

[jwspitz35]

The cat 0:53, ".......Dear God, what did I just witness"

[M47riX1]

when is the release of the new album ???

[codebabe]

Reminds me of Jason Becker meats Dimebag Darrel.

[KalimaWarrior]

0:10 Jason becker lick

[M47riX1]

i think the last one is the best, although they are all awesome *.*

[metalbass211]

where can i buy this album?

[jwspitz35]

The beginning run of the second solo take at 1:23 is absolutely amazing

[metalpraxis]

jawdropping!

[JordanATE]

Incredible stuff, Jeff Loomis is shreddin and your cat is thinking "....eh, I rather look out the window"

[SweetAmericanMustard]

The last few notes of the first solo are better than any girlfriend.

[theoverman666]

the run at 1:30 reminds me of the Engines of Hate solo

[SamBellGuitar]

That first bending phrase is sooo tasty!

[bronxrunner9]

I wish I was that cat in the background

[mattbell555]

@bronxrunner9 lol I thought the same! the cat is enjoying the stuff.

[Zorbamos6581]

Third one was so fucking solid and amazing, i better kill myself now that i have lived long enough

[Exitwound72]

At 1:49 the cat had finally exploded from all of jeff's awesomeness...

[thepanostube]

HELLO HAVE A LOOK ON MY PROFILE AND WATCH MY NEVERMORE COVER THNXS!!!!!

[dann3th3manni3]

That 3rd run did it for me. The best.

[PainKillerD3]

Cat have a trollface XD

[espalexi666]

1:12 "Don`t feel bad regular people can`t play that"

[PeanutButterGtr]

This question may be a little off subject. But anyways, I own an Epiphone G-400, and I do alot of Jeff Loomis style bending and soloing. My problem is, that when I bend my high e string, it breaks shortly after. It always seems to break at the point where it meets the bridge. What do I do? Thanks.

[bwe13131]

It was like Opeth and Buckethead influences mixed together for one epic solo.

[jslim39]

I know everybody has their own personal opinions, but REALLY how do those six people really have the urge to press "dislike"!?? I don't see how that's possible....

[diobolic5150]

@jslim39 it's probably people who don't like me, which is fine. They were probably like "why is guitar Jesus playing on this garbage?". Haha

[jslim39]

@diobolic5150 well that's too bad. the back tracking sounds awesome, and hey, as long as you're having fun, there shouldn't be any problem. people are too butthurt

[ironmaidenowns]

@diobolic5150 your dislike bar is barely visible, and aside from that, haters make us better. humility is essential when improving since you gota practice what you're not good at to get better. people that dislike vids probably don't actually feel that way, they're just blindsighted by how good it is.

[ConorsMetalMilitia1]

@diobolic5150 dude, what song is it that jeff is playing over?

cant find it anyway :L

[PSNDaSingh]

@ConorsMetalMilitia1 Heart of the Sea Nymph.

[Autopsium]

@diobolic5150

ohhh please stop being a humble one. Your stuff really rocks!

Those who press dislike button might have come here by mistake and probably listening to some shitty music that hit the dance clubs and EU charts.

[PeanutButterGtr]

@jslim39 Those are the 6 people that realize that they'll never be able to play something of this caliber, even if Jeff Loomis taught them himself...

[MichaelxAlexander]

@jslim39 i know how its possible - jealousy and/or bitterness of the small minded.

[crazyfaceperson]

@jslim39 Corection. It is 9. How..... I don't know. As Keith said, it is probably people who "don't like him" as a person.

[chrisglory]

@crazyfaceperson jealousy kills

[crazyfaceperson]

@chrisglory And so does Keith Merrow. And with Jeff Loomis he just straight up slays.

[ShreddyEddy8D]

0:09 Betcha can't play this!

[Xilhou]

im a regular person. therefore, i can't play that.

[andrewmassacre1]

0:17-0:19 pwns anything he's every done in his career... Outstanding work Jefferey!!!

[lukegunnlee1988]

2:14 onwerds to the end was just a little bit of a pallet pleaser !

[RealRock993]

hes right....regular people CANT play that

[bcrich1234bc]

His face right after 2:15 ... lol, after playing something like that you can't not be happy.

[ultimateRupture]

loomis cant play a bad solo..:)

[bcrich1234bc]

@ultimateRupture me and you just became friends

[Petrichorus]

god damn

[ironsparrow666]

That note and bend at 32 just kicks pure fuckin ass.......!!!!!!!! rock the fuck on!!!

[Souphead2000]

The last one was the most musical and thats what matters. Cause it doesnt matter if you can shred all day everyday. What matters is if you can make music out of it. Jeff is a pretty awesome player but he does get rather boring. Last solo surprised me.

[ironsparrow666]

"Yeah ur right"! if you could play that well im sure you would also consider yourself boring ?. C'mon bro, give credit where credit is due!, if you cant maybe I should send you a few justin bieber albums

[Souphead2000]

@ironsparrow666 I gave him his credit he just bores me. What is it with you people these days and shitting on everyones opinions. My guitar teacher is Emil Werstler. Dont know him? Look him up. I have a different approach to the guitar because of him. So Loomis is just kinda boring to me. Dont like my opinion. Well fuck you, suck my dick, and have a nice day. If you can respect my opinion thank you and I respect yours too.

[ironsparrow666]

@Souphead2000 .. it's not his fault you dont like good music as i said go listen to some good old justin bieber . and by the way go hang yourself you red neck loving inbred KUNT!!!

[XHeadBangerXMetal]

"should we give it a go mate" "we should give it a go" .... that made me laugh

[grogarage]

Jeff is awesome, one of the most solid live metal players i've seen but over the years his solos sounds more and more alike; same licks adapted to new songs, he doesnt have the phrasing repertory of someone like Marty F. or Jason B. Still, on a purely technical point of view, few if any can match Jeff's precision and speed.

[J214]

@grogarage I agree completely with you about the solos sounding the same and that turns me off from him. I had a roommate that used to listen to him all the time and I honestly couldn't tell the difference from a lot of songs besides their rhythms. The solos sound so much alike. Damn good player tho.

[amjan]

Nice simplistic solo from Jeff.

[orsgl1]

i wish i could shred like that guy, so fast but so beautifull at the time, the guy knows how to do it and i admire his playing skills!!

[yuvalshnik]

59:00 was all like 'UNLEASH THE METAL!!'

[iamhomo1]

1st half of second try + 2nd half of third try = album version :)

(btw that cat has no idea who it is sitting next to xD)

[LosRyu]

First solo reminds me of The Obsidian Conspiracy solo *-*

[jhop5150]

First one was my fav!

[echoluthier]

ManBeast..

[dk038967]

the first one was amaizing

[HybridZephirus]

A fuckin' machine with a fuckin' taste for solos

[OGodTheTubes]

God damn, Jeff is an extreme fucking shredder! FUCK.

[IcoTheBest]

Which song is this?

[MudkipForceG]

@IcoTheBest heart of the sea nymph

[DSG3002]

fucking godly

[secanesam]

needs more cowbell...

[cocoadog5]

I wish Jeff Loomis would hang out with me...

[SinisterFlames]

Mr.Keith Merrow You are my idol. I love every single thing you do i simply am Amazed at how well you self produce.. Respect!

~ SinisterFlames ~

[TheMusicman0721]

i like the second one better but they used the first :(

[diobolic5150]

@TheMusicman0721 Actually, we didn't use any of them. The one on the album is similar to all three solos, but it's not in this video.

[TheMusicman0721]

@diobolic5150 O wow i didnt realize that... the song is still freakin awesome tho

[Syntraediace220]

@diobolic5150 did you record it so jeff can compile his favourite bits together for the solo that's in the album?

[R1ronin]

@diobolic5150 hey Keith, I was just wondering if anyone had tabbed out Jeff's solo yet? (not like I could actually play it up to speed or anything lol, but It'd be great to even play it at half speed :P) this track is totally epic ! \m/

[PeanutButterGtr]

@TheMusicman0721 I think the second one sounded way out of key... slightly.

[PSNthyreticalkiler]

look at the cat. lol

[BiGSLEEPNESS5000]

one of my favorite guitarists

[DimebagDisciple]

Jeff Loomis aka "J-Loom" (cmon people this has to catch on some time..) is the ultimate combination of Technical Prowess and Soul, he knows when to shred and when to bend a sexy note into oblivion ( 1:24 ) !

[Perfixesus]

I WANT THAT GUITAR!!!!!!!! XD GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!

[RomanticMetalLesbian]

4 people disliked this because they couldnt play this 

[krankerable]

Jeff is a monster with a guitar!!!

[MudkipForceG]

i wish the second solo take was the only thing they put on the record

that second run was fucking sick

[DimebagDisciple]

holy shit what a freak... o.O

[MrLogan1245]

Anyone know where Jeff Loomis lives? I want to meet this man.

[krankerable]

@MrLogan1245 Seattle



[valdivia562]

me and this guy share the same birthday

[Sixstringjudgement]

Thumbs up if you could'nt stop staring at the damn cat, at least i could'nt! :D

[smoothedzzzzzz]

@Sixstringjudgement Thumbs up if you didn't see the freakin' cat until you read a comment on it. xD

[joelakastud123]

IF I SEE THAT FUCKING CAT ONE MOAR TIME!

[Wolgg]

who agrees that this is one of the best Jeff Loomis solo?

[shREDhead44]

@Wolgg engines of Hate!

[MorneRage]

i had no idea that was a cat til 00:53

[Syntraediace220]

i just bought his album. I felt my heart slow down and cry during jeff loomis' solo. truly inspirational thank you so much for sharing such eargasm-ing music with us normal people... T.T

[vigierandprsrule]

@Syntraediace220 where did you get the album?

[Curbst0mped]

wow very nice

[shizzlinphil]

OMFG!!! Best solo ever!

[samathanwataguan]

How much does he charge o_O

[25jonathan]

@samathanwataguan dude, was asking the same. ^^

[penam7300]

This is like 15th time am watching and I never noticed a cat.

[BLACKanimebrother]

I swear the first run was the best.

[tristan344]

i love cats

[6XstringXsamurai]

it's hilarious that more people are commenting on the cat than Jeff fucking Loomis and Keith Merrow haha....I totally want to nuzzle on that cat though.

[Metalas95]

i want the tabs....it's amazing

[Geilization]

thumbs up for the metal cat behind loomis

[Metalfeak3]

@Geilization I love that fucking pussy. Unfortunatly thats Jeffs pussy. Pussies are fun to play with. I want to touch Jeffs fucking pussy. I WANT SOME PUSSY!

[DevastedSoul]

That cat on the background is just seeing one of the greatest guitarist ever playing and it just doesn't give a fuck. It's obviously more skilled than him.

[slaving300]

Which speakers are those???

[slaving300]

I would have liked to see Dimebag Darrell and Jeff Loomis on one stage, they are the best.

[dondertochop]

Juice-box

[neirboa]

bieber:God sent me to sing

jeff:No i didn't

[69GoreGasm]

can someone tell me what the name of this song is?

[NeoMetalx]

Can anyone compare the tones of the Axe FX to that of having the actual head and cab of a real amp?

[MarkerNG]

Haha, at 1:44 I've got that same neon guitar clock!

[R1ronin]

that sounds so effin sick I think I need a dr ...\m/

[zapz0rd]

LOL! "Should we give it a go, mate?"

[zapz0rd]

I fucking love Loomis.

[EvanN108]

Cute kitty, haha amazing

[deltaecho147]

what song is this????
