[decimater75]

Good guitarist, but he is an ugly motherfucker.

[BONKA61]

@decimater75 He fingered your mum, thats how you were born.

[decimater75]

@BONKA61 He's still ugly.

[TCFBbob]

@decimater75 and you're still a talentless virgin nobody, but we're not pointing that out. although now we don't have to since you've made it abundantly clear to everyone that you are, in fact, a talentless virgin nobody. you are awarded no points, and are henceforth disqualified from the game. now stfu and gtfo, thank you and goodbye.

[decimater75]

[Andrewarez]

TITS!!!!

[quantum8kid]

is it me or is that the master of puppets solo?  lol !!

[BennettChainmail]

@quantum8kid I've always thought it's kind of like a cross between Master of Puppets and The Glass Prison intro solo

[metalheadblues]

@BennettChainmail Glad I wasn't the only person who thought so..

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

@BennettChainmail definitely agree

[MindPurificationBand]

@quantum8kid More of a Crush my battle opponent balls by DethKlok I think ;P

[Demnarit]

[SantomPh]

[rarmagno]

[acid9757]

@rarmagno termination proclamation from their newest album :)

[fornofftogo]

"what comes out and what feels good at the time" ....hehehe. ohhhh jeff. whatta kidder!

[Videostar1another1fa]

sLOWED DOWN THE OPPENING RIFF SOUNNDS KINDA LIKE MEGADETH

[dimeowns100]

I wonder what he'd come out with if someone gave him an eight string!

[brooklynstudio]

@dimeowns100 Meshuggah

[dimeowns100]

@brooklynstudio I think he would deliberately not sound like meshuggah

[brooklynstudio]

@dimeowns100 yeah I can see that. But I don't think he needs the eight string for his stuff. Ya' never know though.

[dimeowns100]

@brooklynstudio Yeah, you can tell he's meant to be a 7 string player, it'd just be interesting so see what ideas he'd come up with :)

[dimeowns100]

I wonder what he'd come out with if someone gave him an eight string!

[thedarkness97]

Lol 2:09 "let me show you that real quick" 31 seconds later "so that" XD

[greensp4rk]

Oh hell yes, I get to witness Jeffs Awesomeness up close when they play the House of Bricks in DesMoines in april!!

[Tox1cM1nD]

[crisDAwog]

[solidiquis1]

[andoo345]

[sixxthunderbird]

@andoo345 Almost..except Kirk sucks compared to Jeff and I'm a huge fan of early Metallica for the record lol.

[lgcmetallica]

1:36 to 1:42 beelzeboss tenacious d

[Tr3y00]

ive never really gotten into nevermore, but what is the song at the beginning?

[VsShredder]

Really Tight And Powerful... Awesome !!!

[smacman68]

I agree with rkis below in that the riffs sound much better slowed down some than played at lightning speed. Jeff is one of those musicians who's motto is "Speed kills. All speed at all cost" and I think it takes away from the music sometimes. Loomis is a great guitarist, I wish he would slow things down a bit.

[ferociouspokemachine]

@smacman68 Sentient 6 is pretty slow...

[smacman68]

I must admit, I don't own any Nevermore/Loomis music. I only know him from watching YouTube, so I don't know what your talking about. My point is, when the riff is slowed down, it really sounds good. I'm sure he has slow tempo tracks. They all do.

[ferociouspokemachine]

@smacman68 Well Sentient 6 is a Nevermore song off the album This Godless Endeavor... It's one of the more slower songs, and not everything in that song's insanely fast, just parts of the solo. You should check it out, it's one of my all-time fav songs by them. Thing is, Loomis is obviously a shredder, and that's his style just like Michael Angelo Batio or Paul Gilbert.

[smacman68]

@ferociouspokemachine Cool. Thnx for the heads up tip.

[MrGuitarbala]

That a real blessing Jeff's got to make some kickass compositions by not even thinking much about it.. Seriously awesome :)

[rkisf90]

First riff actually sounds cool slow.

[muaythai4lifelife]

seems the slo of MOF by Metallica that likck ;)

btw, always good stuff with Jeff ;)

[GuitardedMark]

I'm not feeling his tone here or on any of their newer stuff. It's too dirty and unclear.

[bangitsmom]

@GuitardedMark I have to agree.

[DCboi333]

does anyone else hear that Canadian accent? about (a-boat)

[tyman96100]

what happened to the vampyre red??

[wintershadows]

The riff machine, Jeff Loomis.

[myskull54]

@wintershadows He's the fuckin master of guitar

[WalrusDoom]

Dude really needs to cut his hair. He's got a good foot of dead, split-end crap sproutin' off his skull.

[andreaguiargomes]

Fu**ing awesome!!!

[SLIPKNOT4747]

Fucking amazing guitar Jeff. I love Schecter 

[manonmagiccarpet]

Fucking hell i loves Jeffs tone

[TheGreatStonedOne]

the very low string...?

[arifreeman]

liked it better slow.

[Ghostman7777]

@arifreeman Thats what she said.

[b1rdkeeper]

Goddamn that was fucking awesome.

[Goth3m3]

0:20, it's like he's talking about sex

[RythemGuitarist]

Nice lesson Jeff! but ho's gonna play it?

[JPMike]

Master of Puppets? Well, a thousand songs sound like that. So No, not even close.

[IwillbeWaiting]

Master of puppets solo! first lick, but Master of Puppets solo :)

[Jonsk12394]

2:30-2:35 is so fucking tight!

[ESP4thaWin]

Wow I love his guitar.

[alterbridge111]

I met Jeff in October of 2010 when I went to see Nevermore, it was amazing.. ill never forget that! Got my backstage pass signed by the band and a few other things aswell.. Also got a wicked picture of me with the master Loomis!

[surana87s]

75% of ppl enjoy commenting about "dislike" botton instead of video....i feel sorry for those ppl...i think i don't have to explain "Y"....

[Lan2Wave]

Loooooomissssssssssssssssss you are the man! Thank you

[losarihetze]

one of the best

fckng nevermore

[thekalamalkakid]

Moaaaaarrr, GuitarWorld. MOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!!

[bmwm3cs]

@thekalamalkakid hahahaha

[DrEviscerator666]

Damn his good!

[lralbrecht]

so fucking fluid



[Cirytan91]

Beginning of the solo sounds like Master of Puppets.

[buscobanda]

That arp reminds me a bit "The Glass Prison"

[a7xgodsmack]

One person cut his finger trying to play it so he missed the like button, they should make a warning thing haha :Warning Entering An Area Of Awesomeness Please Keep Protection At All Time: Jeff Loomis ruleZ!

[berts1405]

what is the intro song?

[fenderstrat91]

That guitar looks sick.

[sumopub]

Loomis is one UGLY ass mofo!

[djanuszewski1985]

siiicknesss!

[prims777]

i think the first riff sounds waaaaaaaaaaaaay better slower

[F4TB0Y69]

Anger is an emotion aswell, this music endorses that!

How the fuck does Jeff get that 1st solo so clean? I can play it but by God I can't make it sound that good!

[IronGuitarist]

that last bend.

fuck.

[Miteour17]

sounds like shit

[xDOUBLEUJAY]

this style of playing is just destroying the intention of the guitar,

Listen to Jimi Hendrix before playing such bullshit!

[Akalack]

@xDOUBLEUJAY dont diss on metal, and i wont diss on your shitty hendrix

[xDOUBLEUJAY]

@Akalack You got a point there, except that hendrix made music with his guitar in stead of noise, so i think i;m talking about music and your talking about noise sounds...

[Akalack]

@xDOUBLEUJAY this "noise" is music to me. if you dont like it, shut the fuck up and go listen to your music

[OWNGEMASTER1993]

@Akalack Hendrix is not shitty and metal is awesome

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@xDOUBLEUJAY i love Jimi too. but i also love this stuff. if you don't like heavy metal, fuck off.

so what is the intention of the guitar? oh, i know, to make music. to convey emotion in music. if that emotion can be conveyed using insane speed and technical phrases, then it is music. WOOHOO, you've still made music, you've still fulfilled the intention of the guitar.

so let me ask... who the Hell made you God to decide what music should and shouldn't be played? huh?

btw, you're blocked :)

[xDOUBLEUJAY]

@TheMetalHeaD256 Oke i admit,

I should respect you guys music style..

[wolfman109h]

3:06 master of puppets solo ? lol

[TheMetalHeaD256]

@wolfman109h exactly what i was thinking. LOL.

[drawnacrol]

Its great how Jeff always makes time to do guitar lessons and DVDs for his fans

[porgy08]

@drawnacrol

He is paid for making this video

[GuitarVids4u]

Sweet guitar and sweet playing!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[ChucklesMginty]

What comes out and what feels good. *smug face*

[fluff191]

That guitar is so sick.

[A7XFIendx6661]

hold on the solo kinda sounds like the master of puppets sequence

[panelacosmica]

Loving the guitar body finish...

[A7XFIendx6661]

i like the way it sounds slow as well

[GuitarHeroRare]

[megajames3000]

[behemoth666123]

0th viewer... how the fuck is that possible?

[berts1405]

[fatharmonix]
