Re: Annihilator Jeff Waters talks gear

[dewycatt2112]

Correct me if I"m wrong" but I recall reading an ad or article Based on the opinions of the top rock/metal guitar players,and they say Jeff Waters is the Best guitarist in the world. This was not from fans" but from professional known musicians. I do have alice in hell and had never never land and that other tape(I forgot name,Had pheonix Rising tune on there?) Now thats some IMPRESSIVE guitar playing.From absolutely beautiful to the most intense brutal shreding I ever heard. Agree??

[soadhusky]

fuck trivium, annihilator rule!

[ShubaCar]

Trivium? BITCH PLEASE!

[Macsk8ing]

I would only go and hear the opening, then I would leave.

[CdnRattlehead]

When Jeff says the combination of those two Polish companies is a very original sound, that might be true, but his playing style is so unique and articulate that you can tell it's Jeff shredding off the faces of overrated guitarists in the same genres. Why the fuck did Annihilator not get as big as they should have been in the 80/90s?

[MaizatulAmirah]

WHAT?????????????????? ANNIHILATOR opening for that fucking trivium???? what the fuck??

[Scarecrow6459]

The thing is, Trivium is currently in the younger metal scene, probably is more well known. That being said, I hope Annihilator showed the people how some true old school metal can beat out any of the new stuff.

[dietermeyer1]

Trivium sell more tickets. Its very simple.

[anniafan]

not any more :)

[Dudeprelude69]

What is Trivium?! Do you know? No?! So am I.

[1108boy]

WTF trivium!??? suckers! annihilator>>>trivium

[FuadBerhan]

wtf is trivium?

[SIXXX1POUNDER]

its not scientifically possible for Annihilator to open for Trivium !

[ridethelightning64]

Trivium sucks.

[payko526]

"Jeff Waters of Annihilator talks about his gear on backstage in Helsinki 8th may 2007. Annihilator was opening for Trivium"

" backstage in Helsinki 8th may 2007. Annihilator was opening for Trivium"

"Annihilator was opening for Trivium"

"opening for Trivium"

Bullshit. Jeff can shred circles around Trivium. Also, the fucker can compose some of the coolest riffs ever laid down, where Trivium just sound like a bad Annihilator tribute band.

[darkwingx1]

lol yeah its a damn shame they opened for trivium, but i really wish he'd stop talking and take his shirt off

[SikkSikkSixx]

Wow. Veterans opens for amateurs, how did that happen?

[666pushead666]

It's not VETERANS for AMATEURS, it's A GREAT FUCKIN' BAND for a NOT TERRIBLE BAND :D

[ziftortion]

kids nowadays are mass consuming what's given to them. they are not "fans" as we old farts once were. we wore real torn and old jeans, they do it in designer clothes in an effort to simulate the times and the feel we had. we had real guitar heroes, they have playstation..

[diabeticmonkey]

Bitter old men. I like Annihilator and trivium. Annihilator being the superior band, obviously, but i dont believe in calling bands "gay" if i dont like them. if you think about it, what would jeff waters say about trivium?

[MrPirate93]

yea i agree trivium should definately be the openers but the fact is if you wanna fill out a concert hall then unfortunately you have to appeal to the masses and if all the faggy little mainstreem bitches like trivium better then let them. all us true metal heads know who the better band is! YEA!

[Metallikakka]

fuck trivium. bunch of emo homos. why in the shit would ANNIHILATOR open for those douches.

shit aint right.

[maidenslayer]

Alice In Hell is in another universe to any Trivium album. So why did Annihilator open for Trivium. Oh yeah thats right, loads of idot scene kiddies who know nothing about real metal have made shit popular. Annihilator = true thrash, Trivium = true shit.

[pwnzerleet]

why the fuck did Annihilator open for Trivium?

[joogalentaja]

That what I'm thinking too.

[chris170b]

@pwnzerleet simple, there not as big as trivium. much more talent but not as commercial

[pwnzerleet]

@chris170b erm, not as big? I can not believe that

[chris170b]

@pwnzerleet trivium headlined the second stage at download last year, they're mentally popular, annihilator are just not as big as them

[pwnzerleet]

@chris170b Shit like that makes me want go and kill some Posers :o

[chris170b]

@pwnzerleet wankers

[KissMeImPunk]

@pwnzerleet Because the fans were probably 15 year olds with no taste in music.

[pwnzerleet]

@KissMeImPunk I rest my case, KILL EM ALL ;D

[CreatorOfChaosxx]

@pwnzerleet Because people who set up Metal tours are complete morons that probably know nothing about Metal.

[pwnzerleet]

@CreatorOfChaosxx Not only that, but most of the now big Heavy bands tend to forget what Metal is and what we are about

[ANNIHILATORable]

jeff waters e' troppo sexy. the best

[incvisition]

If I was on his place, it would some big shame for me to open for some new band and such a shit band like trivium. Annihilator could make a very great comeback I think but with Jeffs attitude to music nowadays, that'll never happen.

[Gonboo]

I think that the new singer for annihilator kinda sucks and i wish jeff would either go back to singing or get a thrash singer and i bet annihilator would have a comeback like testament did with TFOD.

[FoR10th]

i can't believe that... annihilator opening for trivium... what a joke... oh well.... life goes on

[RedShogun13]

Trivium is one of my favorite bands and I agree if anyone is going to headline it would be Annilator.

They could do it like they did with Unholy Alliance.

Have like 2-3 bands that are "co-headlining" and have Annihilator headline.

[guiltygear101]

Annihilator opening for Trivium?! Shouldn't it be the other way round?

Jeff Waters = Guitar God!

[Rosi0123456789]

you're all fools

it's good for annihilator to support trivium, - so they are capable of getting some new (young) fans, which would never come to an annihilator concert

[specialdefect]

WHAT THE FUCK, Trivium should open for Annihilator! All bow down to Jeff Waters!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!!!!

[shred5]

Yes, it's sad when Annihilator is touring with Trivium... if you ask me, Kreator or Slayer or someone should open for Annihilator... even Metallica, only no one wants to see them anymore.

[blableblu07]

that is true.. i feel so sorry for jeff, because I think he invested same or even more time in music, but didn't get half as far as many "bigger" bands.

I love Annihilator: from Alison to Metal.

[southdownies]

here here. though trivium with them lot was good.

[MaizatulAmirah]

trivium opening act for annihilator - what's the issue???

[rawkout]

so many people bash trivium....piss off Annihilator and Trivium are both fucking wild awesome in their own ways

[FenderUsa]

trivium suck cunt balls

[blableblu07]

trivium are good, but annia is better.. too bad they eat up the same audience/people

[wireman90]

trivium suck anus !

[MetalOfAllOwns]

im sorry but shouldnt. trivium be opening for Annihilator? .. just a thought haha.. jeff waters ftw !!!!

[ultimatemegadethfan]

Jeff Waters = Creator of God.

[clutchthewire]

wtf annihilator is opening for trivium!?it should be the other way around

[AnuclypseMetal]

hey mate

i just said the same thing on the advice video of jeff waters

..

trivium shud be opening for Annihilator !

[niggerfuckshit]

goddamn i just wanted to say that, well said my friend, well said.

[Ffryc]

Said exactly the same under another video.

Look at the time when Annihilator played already if the suckness of Trivium comparing to Annihilator is not enough.

[MetalOfAllOwns]

i just said it up there. without see this hahaha.. well WTFF !!!!

[WilliamGH1337]

I also said the same to my friend when i read the info

[metalsinani]

same here, fuck mainstream, annihilator are ten times the band trivium will ever be

[Mailrobot]

although trivium shouldnt be opening for anybody. they should shut down.

[xpsychoblissx]

Hell yea, man...that's so gay.

[MetReigns478]

luv his jenna jameson jackson guitar. its fuckin rad!!!

[thrashtastic666]

one of the best guitarists, so underated its unbelieveable!

[Itajiwolf]

I love this guy XD hes so funny

and really good

very inspiring to me also

one of those guys I would really love to just sit and have a chat with one day XD

legend!

[MOSHZHEAD]

Why the fuck do people aways leave comments about other bands like trivium and other bands like that when this vidz about jeff

[king666nothing]

He looks like Phil Anselmo from Pantera and Down

[burnthewitch]

I love his accent. =)

[sanshuz]

A friend of mine once met Jeff and said he was a really nice guy.

[DioandMaiden]

True that man right when i heard that on the thing i was about to say the same thing.

[glassprisoner417]

dude i like trivium and Annihilator but if anything trivium should open for annihilator, they've been around forever and have already established a calling, but hey whatever sells

[SimAlias]

Hey at least Trivium is better than Shitfold. Wow Annihilator's Metal has the who's who of metal like Jeff Loomis of Nevermore, Will Adler of Lamb Of God, Alexi Laiho of Children Of Bodom, Jesper Stromblad of In Flames, Mike Amott and Angie Gossow of Arch Enemy, Corey of Trivium and No Avenged Faggotfold hell fuckin yeah!!!!

[bobindashadows22]

why the fuck do people bash trivium so much there just trying new ideas its like every stupid video "oh trivium suck trivium needs to scream to get better" its not all about bullshit screaming and if somebody says it is then fucking listen to metallica, megadeth, etc they dont scream but there still famous

[ThatSillyMosher]

no thats DavidMeShow. with the master of bizarre facial expressions.

[xXxlllManHacklllxXx]

"so i can put a little bit of delay on my clean and eeerrr nothing on dirty" :p

[voidremoved]

haha if he would have said "eh!" @ 0:35 after "joke" he would sound like bob & doug, eh? take off.

[ironsabbath18]

Trivium are fucking posers, they don't know a damn thing about Metal. Annihilator on the other hand well you know :)

[Hendley30]

Thrasher657crew is a TROLL going around to Jeff Waters videos taking about Seals. You are a fucking low-life troll. Fuck you and your seals you mick bastard.

[Thrasher657crew]

Why not talk SEALS!

[SaebjornBonesmasher]

ANNIHILATOR was openning up for TRIVIUM!?!?!

Trivium should open up for ANNIHILATOR!!!

ANNIHILATOR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TR­IVIUM

[SweMetalisto]

WORD! x 3098640934683

[jysan]

I concur

[decliningglory]

true shit.

[talditis]

definitely true

[doomink]

totally agreed.

[CfOme]

I went to see annihilator when they were touring with trivium, i never heard of them before the gig, but i thought they were better than trivium.. a support band actually better than the main band... also alot of other people where there just to see annihilator

[madthrasher88]

dude trivium dont deserve to open up for annihilator. they deserve to open up for 50 cent or sum shit

[jfkdjfd]

TRIVIUM SHOULD NOT PLAY WITH ANNIHILATOR

[kickhurtubise]

hes from my home town! love you waters

[ExplodingGuy]

man annihilator shouldn't open for trivium! annihilator has been around since the 80s man, trivium is like new, and they're more big then annihilator? I just don't think this is right, cuz annihilator owns! ANNIHILATOR FOREVER \m/

[ericwylde]

why you guys always need to bash a band to show you like the other?

is it some kind of self esteem problem?

you always need to prove that you're better at something

i don't need to hate trivium just because they are more famous

they are very different bands and i like both

i know it sounds weird and it's kinda annoying to see old classic bands opening shows for the new guys, but you can't blame the bands for it

[szmit8]

annihilator's songs are much better than trivium's stuff. waters got his own style!

[Radge89]

YESSS THATS RITE!!!!

[spajsboyz]

Im a Pole. Yea Jeff recommends RAN guitars and Laboga amps. Yep fuckin nut...

[LintaxLintu]

:o lol haha!

iunno who it is.. but cool :p

[VigoGatsu]

Annihilator and Jeff kick serious asses!!

[darkshadowvamp]

hey does anyone know when is jeff waters is ever going to do that kermit the frog rendition of the "rainbow connection"? just curious and why does john denver always seem to ring a bell lol

[FingersOfShred]

Dudes, this guy is a legend, love his sound and his music, shame i missed these guys supporting trivium at newcastle, Annihilator need to get a permenant singer, then they may be able to make it bigger, but yeah Rock on Jeff, keep the awsome songs comeing.

[nchiplin]

haha they have had several singers, Jeff took them over in 1994 i believe, and he has been doing them ever since, he also writes EVERYTHING

[mightymetman]

aaactually, he just did vocals on the king of the kill album and Remains albumss, but even got a singer for the consequent tours. As for lately, at least the last 4 years they've had the same vocalist guy by the name of... Dave Padden

[neoshaolin1]

jeff waters should really get some good musicians with him cause most everyone that joins annihilator usually holds him back.

[bettycrackwhore]

Are yoou being sarcastic . Get some really good musicians ?! Annihilator rule because of their incredible musicianship ! who are you ? who are you playin with ? lets see your skills !

[nchiplin]

Annihilator is dead now anyways.

[klyniss]

They just released a record in 2007 you fucking dumbass.

Go read a cereal box.

[nchiplin]

THEY as in Jeff Waters and MANY artists from MANY different bands, he didn't have a line up he just played with some of the leading guys in "metal" today.

Way to read on it.

[Radge89]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boostfiend]

LOL! Jeff rules.

[corpsedeathmaggot]

but surely you must be glad that trivium are helping to bring annihilator into the "limelight" or whatever, although annihilator are alot better than trivium, at least trivium are playing metal, not that annihilator dont! but its better than them opening for like, bullet for my valentine or someone really shit

[DanielThalen]

Trivium isnt bringing them into the lime light, metal is so diluted now with fucking posers that only the true fans of metal know about bands like Annihilator. Annihilator has been in the limelight, the posers are in the limelight because it seems that there's more posers now than metalheads. Fuckin sucks, FUCK TRIVIUM!!!!!!!Stupid fucking name too.

[AzamBoi]

Fuck Trivium! There is no way that Annihilator is almost better than Trivium. Trivium is gay metal, man! Hail Annihilator!!!

[maximumsatann]

Truer words have yet to be spoken. Fucking right on man, FUCK TRIVIUM!!!!!

[DrJoeBenson]

my heart is broken because ANNIHILATOR open for Trigayum

Thats really hard !!!

;(

[rzebro0]

Yeah... this guy use guitars and amps from my country!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[axxxion]

they were opening for Trivium???????? wtf?!?!

[teamtroma]

Jeff Waters took my virginity

[Simon91666]

and i took his

[Avertia]

I met Jeff after a Annihilator/ Trivium gig in Norway! =)

[SamanthaSimons]

This guy is so awesome! so fuckin hot :P

[mattystokes666]

JEFF IS FUCKIN AWESOME!

[RoQisma]

Someone said they're almost better than trivium. uhhm, they're way better than trivium!!!

[eerohei]

Shame or not but they opened for trivium, and i guess for many Annihilator fans in Finland it was just brilliant as Annihilator wouldn't have done a show in Finland otherwise... probably

[jshearsmith]

Yea please don't put Annihilator to shame because they are touring with Trivium. Annihilator and Waters are amazing they are up there with the old school thrashers Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Exodus, Kreator, Destruction, Sodom |,,/

[Justinshredo1]

i like your style man...keep rocking!

[walawala78]

Annihilator fucking OWN Trivium. Trivium are just Metallica wannabes whereas Annihilator are actually innovative artists.

[borizh]

OPENING for trivium?!??!?! trivium sucks

[nmclaren]

I dig it... Surprised I never thought of that... two returns for two separate gate settings.. *rushes to Guitar Center* LOL! Good post man! Cheers!

[SweetHateAndBlood]

saw them 6/5 in stockholm, they were almost better than Trivium...

[azlandroid]

dude...trigayvium? better? Annihilator was formed back in 80s.when did the trigayvium was formed? did they tour with great bands like Mdeth,Mtalicca(old),Slayer,Ant­hrax,Exodus..etc? when did they become better than Annihilator?...trivium pure POSERS!!

[5horsemen]

Jeff Waters is the Best!!!!!

[Janine8]

cool

[annihithrax]

he is awesome... i saw him yesterday too ;)

[tforal]

The Guy is fucking great, funny it was just recorded yesterday?
