Jeff Loomis (Nevermore) Clinic - NAMM 2008 (1/2)

[phate161]

Shit, time to go listen to every Nevermore song

[Tenaciousdlover1231]

Metal injection... you all NEED to come to NAMM this year (stop by the fuchs amplifier booth).

[petewat98]

Jeff Loomis is the New Jason Becker

[MariosGuy]

how is that guitar not on fire at the end of this video. like my brain was just confused because logically it would be after something like this... weird. maybe he has them special made to be flame retardant

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

he looks like a surf rat

[EArockerful]

what the name of the song he plays

[Richard100595]

sapheeeee!!!!

[Funnybear22]

Matt Damon with long hair :)

[theweegit]

@Funnybear22 Matt Damon would have an oscar if he could act as well as Jeff plays

[Funnybear22]

@theweegit :D

[myfairvanity]

i didn't listen to metal for like 7 years, then i heard loomis' solo album. thank god he's making another one. i don't know what else to listen to. wouldn't mind if he broadened his genre though. He's obviously capable of it, but that's just me, whatever caulks your wagon.

[chooch68]

30 people dont shred.

[TheUltim8Apocalypse]

I will never underestimate anyone I see with a Visitor's pass at NAMM after seeing this.

[Exitwound72]

At first he's just looking at his guitar like "um, when can I start shredding?"

[mywritingden]

Can someone name all the songs that he plays the solos from? I want to create this same mix using the mp3 versions.

[TheHolyLoomis]

@mywritingden First is Final Product, second is The River Dragon Has Come, third is Born, fourth is This Godless Endeavor ;)

[mywritingden]

@TheHolyLoomis THANKS!!! =P

[DrHeadification]

with jeff loomis of NEVERMORE!!!!!

[Xxd3cayxX]

What does he start playing at 0:47? I think it sounds so wicked.

[Roaraxx]

@Xxd3cayxX Nevermore's Final product solo

[MalkavianMetaller]

@Xxd3cayxX

The video starts with "The final product", and at 0:47 it's still the same song :D

[razzo3456]

...fuck this, i'm taking up the triangle

[Habid50]

4:23 true beast mode: ON

[rtblackwidow]

I feel like I just sucked my own dick. Win!

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

@blackblurable i play guitar to, i can play, bfmv, cobhc etc my best is about alexi laiho standard, and i still have no clue what jeff loonis is doing, but it sounds good.

[blackblurable]

@EmoGuitarSceneKidxP I agree Jeff is a beast. And has epic riffs. My favorite riff has to be Shouting Fire at a Funeral. That Timewarp album though by Christian Muenzner is ridiculous though. I have no clue what the fuck he is doing. Especially with his sweep picking. It sounds out of this world. The only song I don't like on Timewarp is.... Maybe Tomorrow. Over the Mountains, Dawn of the Shred, Confusion, Soulmates, Wastelands, and Rocket Ship are my favorites.

[stringslayer97]

@Tainted369 my cousin did, loomis asced him after a cigarette :D

[MrKillyourself]

there is a god!!!

[demoncornuto]

nada que decir... es compadre es seco sin duda

[MrGOTKILLA]

Top 10 best guitar player

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

hahaha... i canplay half assed versions of every one of those songs...

[hiyo4242]

This guy is ridiculously talented. Makes me wonder why he wasn't playing in a Melodic Death band instead of Nevermore. Not that Nevermore is bad by any stretch, but his playing just seems more suited to melo-death.

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

@hiyo4242 cos melodic death has a bad vocals and (despite the "melodic") has a lot of sludgy guitar riffs. In Nevermore, Jeff could write exactly what he wanted and had a proper(ish) singer

[destructablemenace]

Meanwhile at Dave Mustaine's house " Fuck !! how did i not feel the force in this guy ! Yoda misled me !!!!"

[TaurenJam]

@destructablemenace lol dude. But I actually think that was part of Jeff's motivation to become who he is now. If someone says you can't do something or you're not good at it, it makes want to be like oh yea?! FUCK YOU. You know ?

[destructablemenace]

@TaurenJam thats true but you cant deny dave's frustration after seeing him now :P

[Soogh666]

don't worry, even if you are not such good guitarist as Loomis you can still do a music career (Kerry King for example)

[bensayshi]

the guy at the very end of the video "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"

[munruthel1]

god...

[adstr87]

Hahahahha that fucking growl in the beginning... xD

[blackblurable]

Check out Christian Muenzner's album Timewarp! It shit's on Zero Order Phase! I love you Jeff but Christian Muenzner is hungrier than you and bloody amazing!

[jeffloominado]

@blackblurable im sorry but you must clean your ears of that obscura shit because taht opinion is just pure faggotry. really dont be a blasfemus, nobody is allowed to speak against jeff cuz his riffs can shit anyone anywere, think before sharing a gay opinion. btw come on, that albun isnt even closer to miles of the machine it self

[blackblurable]

@jeffloominado First off you little cunt, I don't like Obscura even though by technicality they are great. But Timewarp as a WHOLE album is better than Zero Order Phase. I love Jeff Loomis and Christian Muenzner you ass clown. I agree Jeff's riffs shit on any metal band period because I made that statement to close minded metallica fans. So fuck off, I'm just trying to get people to listen to it because Christian in my opinion better at sweeping and soloing . Loomis has better vibrato and riffs

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

@blackblurable recommend me a track dude! Ive nevver heard of him, but from what you said he must be immense

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

@blackblurable sorry to spam the comments list everyone but... dude i checked out Timewarp and Confusion... blew my fucking mind!

[blackblurable]

@HeavyMetalVagabond My favorite songs are Over the Mountains, Dawn of the Shred, Confusion, and Soulmates. The dude is ridiculous, I play guitar and I have no idea what the hell he's doing

[blackblurable]

@HeavyMetalVagabond Also Wastelands is epic too, actually the every song is amazing!

[blackblurable]

@HeavyMetalVagabond I'm glad you liked Timewarp. Over the Mountains always melts my face though and soulmates is a super slick song with excellent phrasing and awesome choice of notes

[HandofMisery]

@blackblurable I'm glad that someone here has heard of Chris Muenzner... that's the metal crowd!

[blackblurable]

@HandofMisery Yeah man, Christian is a way more talented then Jeff. His style of metal is the shit I can only dream of bro. Don't get me wrong Jeff is an amazing guitar player and one of my favorites but my top favorite guitar player ever is Christian Muenzner. After hearing his solo album and his stuff in Necrophagist, I was blown away man. Now he's in the tech band Spawn of Possession and that should be even more ridiculous bro. Their coming out with an album this year. Check them out man : )

[Adam1349]

@blackblurable

Sorry, but I laughed at this, "Christian is a way more talented [guitar player] [than] Jeff." They're both great players in my opinion, I just happen to prefer Jeff.

[blackblurable]

@Adam1349 It's hard to imagine and I can see someone laughing at the very thought. Unfortunately it's true

[Adam1349]

@blackblurable

Fortunately it's not. Please, tell me what exactly it is that Christian has that Jeff does not, because I fail to see any qualities that he possess that would enable him to be a much more talented guitarist? You see, you could have just stuck to saying I prefer Christian's playing, but you decided to say that you think he is more talented, so please present your evidence.

[blackblurable]

@Adam1349 His riffs are way better and more memorable. His legato and sweep picking is mind blowing and far more superb. He also surrounds himself with real talent and he isn't the main focus 100% of time in songs. Jeff is awesome guitar player and I love him but he's a step down beneath Christian bro. And here, I prefer Christian's playing over Jeff's. Is Jeff even in a band yet? Christian is working on an album with Spawn of Possession while still playing with Obscura

[kylepardueish]

whats the last name of this christian dude,cause i've never heard of him.but if someone says he's better than jeff loomis i gotta check it out

[blackblurable]

@kylepardueish Christian Muenzner man. His solo album is Timewarp. Check it out here on this tube. I say start with the songs Confusion, Dawn of the Shred, Wastelands, Rocket Shop, Soulmates, and my personal favorite besides all of those is Over the Mountains. Not only is he the lead guitarist in his band Obscura, he's also in the band Spawn of Possession, along with also being part of a super awesome mega band Blotted Science. His shit was intense in Necrophagist. No one can top him, in my eyes

[kylepardueish]

yeah see i've heard of necrophagist and i've heard a number of there songs, i jus t never knew the guitarists NAME I'LL CHECK HIM OUT I'LL TELL U WHAT I THINK

[kylepardueish]

I CHECKED OUT TOSE SONGS FROM HIS SOLO ALMBUM, ITS PHENOMINAL, I STILL LIKE JEF BETTER, ONE BECAUSE ALL HIS STUFF HAS THAT EVIL SOUND THAT I LOVE,WICH CHRISTIAN DOES THAT TO BUT, SOMEONE LEFT A COMMENT, IT SAID SOUDS LIKE MEGADEATH YWINGVEY AND JASON BECKER HAD A BABY, AND WHEN I LISTEN TO CHRISTIAN THATS WHAT I THOUGHT,IT SOUNDS KIND OF FAMILLIAR TO OTHER STUFF I'VE HEARD, I'VE NEVERE HEARD A JEFF LOOMIS SONG THAT I SAID HEY,THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE INGVEY OR SOMEBODY ELSE,JEFF LOOMIS JUST HIMSELF

[blackblurable]

@kylepardueish You know what that is pretty true but still amazing as you said so yourself. But Jeff is still in my top favorite guitarists for his tone and originality. Him and Guthrie Govan are very distinct guitar players. Jeff is such an awesome guitar player and I hope he either makes his own band or just joins an awesome band with another awesome guitarist, drummer, and bassist. Fuck vocals unless the vocalist is Odette Yustman the most beautiful woman on this earth and soon to be my wife

[kylepardueish]

he's ,my favorite to,he completely changed my ideas about music,this guy told me i needed to learn classical to play metal, i was like bull shit,i just wanted to play like slayer then i was, damn slayer sucks, after i heard jeff, when i heard enemies of reality thats what did it for me, i was damn i didn't know a guitar could sound like that, and i can play rhe last solo in enemes of reality, its easy because its simple but hard cuase its fast

[ChuckisGOD1]

the 29 people that disliked can EAT AN AIDS INFESTED DICK!! Just sayin'

[Lovemetallica93]

3:17-3:32 godlike!

[math1st]

justin Bieber's penis is the size of the dislike bar. In Soviet Russia, the ground falls on you. Chuck Norris is somehow related to this incident. Rebecca Black sucks. Thumbs up if *insert obvious bullshit here*. My parents though I was watching porn. 310 views and thousands of likes!? press 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 or 9 and thumbs up. I hate ads and I'm thankful that porno doesn't have them. I pee in the side of the bowl to make less noise!

There. Now you only have to read one comment

[cq9702]

[mattcommnet]

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

I don't really care, i like them thats my opinion im allowed it, but i was making a point about all the mainstream overrated "musicians" being annoying and no one noticing real talent...

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

You Say Slash, I say Jeff Loomis You say Eminiem, I say synyster gates

You Say justin beiber, I say Lee Malia

You Say Pink Floyd, i Say Alesana

[sekou50]

[sirmarkos91]

[NiggerAnus]

29 people died at the hands of GOD Jeff Loomis

[stinloaf]

HOW TO BE LIKE JEFF LOOMIS!!!!!!!

Just play bass and cry.

[iJoodoe]

There are 2 types of people in the World, 1. Make a living from being a great guitarist, 2. Try to make a living. I'm no.2 cuz I've just quit playing the guitar.

[ICJ3X]

I hope Jeff realizes that Emg's suck and the blackouts are better

[blasphemylolz]

@ICJ3X He should play Ibanez lol

[ICJ3X]

@blasphemylolz

nah I think schecter is better than ibanez for jeff

[ConorLaganTM]

@ICJ3X they obviously dont suck considerin loads more people play them than blackouts

[YavruuKurt]

only one word: excellent!

[Di11manA]

its one thing to play it, but how did he manage write this?

[sebkreator]

He's playing Final Product, Born, and This Godless Endeavour. And he is God, BTW.

[69GoreGasm]

can anyone tell me what song he was playing?

[mbhector32]

this is very insane, i want to play the guitar like him

[phili666]

@abrookes1985

go listen to his band for music. this clinic is to show is technical abilities which are amazing. Furthermore this can be considered a song.

[Skjoldvall]

What's the song he's playing in the last part of the vid?

[pmanderson]

Fuck this. I'm selling my guitars.

[hazed718]

Didnt kno ur fingerz could fly like that man

[AvengedFreak12]

0_0



[Blitzzkreigg]

[PressianGueorguiev]

Love it, i hope i see him one day

[piratelveninja]

[Ebai59]

Look at those fingers fly!

[OspaJe]

1:25 hay wey 

[OmegaDrago]

Just two words ... : FUCKING AMAZING

[insioni]

i am barely a fan of nevermore but after watching this i think he is the best guitarist in the world.

[MagicDumbledore]

What's the song that is played at 2:32?

[OspaJe]

@MagicDumbledore born

[Scurvee]

@MagicDumbledore Born, from the album This Godless Endeavor 

[Thenephilimrising]

Call me ignorant, but what is the riff he's playing from 5:30 from?

[ShredderEric]

@Thenephilimrising Dead heart in a dead world

[Scurvee]

@Thenephilimrising It's just the riff after his face-raping solo in the song This Godless Endeavor

[ZiniNkenaki]

At first, at 5:12 I thought he made a mistake. Then I realized he did an ascending sweep 4 times fast without me even realizing what happened.

Fuck.

[arsehole420]

what the hell is he doing at 3:20-3:33

[SeeThroughDreams]

@arsehole420 It's pretty much a bit of a scale run, followed by an ascending sequence of diminished sweeps.

[sphynx105]

What song is he playing?

[MOOSE8tree]

stop being so good

[kolyo2588]

@MOOSE8tree

If you practice everyday for adleast 1-2 hours you will see that you will eventually catch up with him...

[AestheticAudio]

@kolyo2588 more like 5-6 unless you're some kind of prodigy from outer space, but I second your notion to never quit :D

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

anyone know what the bit at 1.30 is? like from what song

[ShiningSpear]

@HeavyMetalVagabond That's from "The River Dragon has Come" on Dead Heart in a Dead World.

[19A7xdrumslayerA7x86]

4:25 to 5:30 his fingers flippin teleported i swear....

[ozzymustaine]

27 people gave up playing guitar after seeing this

[FlavioDrums]

From 196s to 229s is just godlike skills!!!

[CyValkarion]

Lol, who else had the words going in their head?

[skorpio2112]

children... don't try to do this without supervision of a good guitar teacher... if you do on your own... press 91... after one minute playin' like him you'll be able to press just 1... IMPRESIVE TECHNIC... just amazing.

[Tempesas]

Just listen to the palm mute at 2:08 it's insane!!!!!!

[teamgod]

How to guitar

Step 1: buy guitar

Step 2: watch Jeff Loomis videos to get inspired.

Step 3: Play every note on the guitar 3 times.

Step 4: Realize that Jeff Loomis just did all that in 1 second with one hand on the fretboard and his other hand punching out Jesus.

Step 5: sell your guitar - you're too shit

[TheAxe4Ever]

@teamgod Punching out Jesus? What?

[kolyo2588]

@teamgod

First step complete , second step complete , third step complete , step 4 complete and step 5 will never be complete , I am not a quiter like the rest of you !!!! :)

[wilrock910]

@teamgod I think it's better selling the guitar after the step 2

[zacheaton92]

@teamgod "How to guitar" ?

[shmeed4]

@teamgod this rocks!

[haha0723]

@teamgod Aslo realize your guitar only has 6 strings.

[guitarblade1891]

@teamgod the funny thing is your not lying

[oddmanero]

in fucking human

[andyrockinb123]

Needs more cowbell

[MetalChild96]

the sweeps from this godless endeavor are really sick! love 'em!

[shanebryan1986]

Is it me or does he look like a young James Hetfield??????

[TimTorture]

@shanebryan1986 He does a little bit but not really, I can see where you made that observation but not exactly. Maybe a little.

[crackard420]

@shanebryan1986 i think he does too....good call

[thunorrr]

Robotic like precision.

[luke4mosa]

wow mad!

can anyone tell me what the solo from 0:48 is from?

need to buy some of the albums.

[thepatriots1592]

@luke4mosa The song is Final Product from the This Godless Endeavor album. And yes, you do need to buy some of the albums. They are fantastic.

[MalkavianMetaller]

@luke4mosa

Buy EVERY album.

[Wolf15r]

such a boring player.

[IbeenTHUNDERSTRUCK14]

justin beiber can suck on THAT

[NightmareGuitarist]

Hahah at 5:46

"were not worthy!!"

[gioAErgakis]

is it my idea or jeff loomis rocks?

[FBDMatt]

27 people were just castrated for not liking this.

[UACDOOM]

y does it sound so low? please tell me thats the camera and not cause they tell him to play that low.....geeez

[santabamf666]

i love at 3:32 he's just like "ya. ya i like that part too. its awesome"

[yunesbb]

no no no no !!! that's not real !

and its not because scientists recently proved that its physically impossible for human beings to play that fast !

[toyaLEET]

it's like half neo classic metal, and half death metal...

[RonPaulMountainBiker]

So technical!! Makes my ears and bones happy. yum!

[Nuclearholocaust89]

the first solo is from "final product"

[MalkavianMetaller]

OMFG.

[desertdemon1993]

Which song is he playing?

[blackrok15]

If you want to impress a crowd playing guitar...sweep. Final answer. Don't ask questions. If all of your really really good solos are making people yawn...pull off a sweep and the world will love you!

Joke is because until he was sweeping, no one really reacted. Even though those particular sweeps aren't nearly as amazing as other one's I've seen him do. The guitar duel video, amazing sweeps.

[Lickmyballs718]

@blackrok15 The reason they cheered at that part you thought was a sweep, was because he was doing a very difficult string-skipping arpeggio thats probably 10 times harder to pull off than anything else in the song.You can sweep arps, tap arps out,and even string skip em, hell i bet you could ever arp with your toungue but string-skipping arps are ridiculous.They cheered because he actually pulled it off perfectly live.Want to impress people, have perfect timing, distinctive technique and melody

[mbabs15]

Can you believe Dave Mustaine let him go after a try out for Megadeth?

[ryankuisti]

@mbabs15 only cuz he was too young.

[ghost20063]

this dude is so sick. hes moving so fast it makes the video look like its in fast forward.

[NoyEmpalador505]

People, please, one question: which si the name of this song??

[DimeWylde887]

@NoyEmpalador505 Its a mixtape of great Nevermore song
