@Erithlon Yea, I was really nervous (and euphoric) too. But Jeff Loomis is really a nice guy and down to earth. He was touring on and on across Europe, but he still took his time for questions (it was hard to get any questions from the audience).
I really appreciate this. It was such a great moment! \m/
Jeff revealed the new guitarist as a dude called Atilla from Hungary. From doing a small search there is a guy on youtube called Attila Voros who is from Hungary and coincidently has a bunch of nevermore covers. His youtube username is hellbounder86 check him out. I think we can safely say this guy is the new guitarist.
Im slightly confused with what Jeff says he uses as his pick of choice. In the video he clearly states he uses Jim Dunlop Tortex Sharp's in a 2mm gauge howeva the highest gauge in that pick is 1.5mm and is the white pick in the video. Just putting it out there.
Howeva there is the Dunlop Ultex Sharp's which DO go up to 2mm but they are yellow and not white as can be seen in this video.
I could be wrong but to my eyes Jeff is using tortex sharps in a 1.5mm gauge (for this performance anyway).
@copperberzerker like StereoDeth said, it's a custom pick. When I saw Jeff at a clinic in Sweden I also got his pick. After that I bought a pack of tortex sharps, 1.35mm, 'cause they didn't have 1.5mm at the store, and I love 'em! They're still pretty think, I used to use the tortex jazz III 1.14mm, so there is definately a difference there. At first it took a while to get used to a "big" (normal-sized) pick again, but now I actually prefer the sharps.
omfg he gave you his pick. Guard it for it worths more than any of your personal belongings!

@copperberzerker Dunno man, I'm using Jazz III picks all the way, so I have no knowledge about the color of each version n stuff.
But I'll def try those sharpy tortex picks (if I find the same, like the one, he threw to me). :)
Only thing I can say is; it's white, hard (really don't bend at all) and it's printed on both sides (NEVERMORE/Jeff Loomis' signature).
So I believe it could be some kind of custom pick...I mean that's no big deal for a big company like Dunlop, isn't it?
Cheers,

@StereoDeth yeh cool man, so that would make sense about the higher pick gauge. I wonder if the Loomis picks can be bought?.
copperberzerker 1 year ago
@StereoDeth O_O i'll buy that pick for 100$ right now if you want O_O
TakuyaDan 1 year ago
@TakuyaDan 100 bucks for a pick? Seriously?
But I have to decline your offer with thanks, because that pick is a part of that great moment, which remains in my memory forever.
Cheers mate!
PS: I'm using the Dunlop Ultex 2.0 since months. They are great!
