Jeff Loomis crushing an Engl Fireball 100 part 2

[xImpendingChapelxAAF]

damn!

[amazingfantasy66]

jeff loomis owes me a new face..... simply shredded mine off. Im surprised the audience wasnt obliterated when he went into Ear fuck mode.

[TFCFredNVick]

lol i see he's rocking the jap strap haha

[juku223]

what song is he playing ?

[SpicyDragoon]

@juku223 The Obsidian Conspiracy

[KESTUARDOVR]

jeff un nuevo heroe de la guitarra

[deathmetalguitaristx]

That amp is the best amp I've ever used it is an orgasm made of wood and metal and all that other shit, but fuck me i cant afford it

[m4ssee]

If Jeff Loomis plays this amp, it can't be bad.

[TFCFredNVick]

@m4ssee its an engl....engl and bad don't mix

[dimebagdarrellftw]

I wish Dave would have let Jeff into MEGADETH and not Marty!

[givemeajackson]

@dimebagdarrellftw jeff would be honestly wasted in megadeth. and i doubt he and dave would have got on well together, they are both way too much of bandleaders. 2 leaders ends up in war...

[dimebagdarrellftw]

@givemeajackson yeah Jeff thought of replacing glen drover in like 2006 when dave/megadeth asked

[grogarage]

hey, we can see Jeff Waters fron Annihilator in the back with the skull and bones shirt!!

[ItchyVonScummy]

@grogarage Scouting him, hahaha would be epic.

[JoelTenor]

This guy has re-inspired the current metal scene in similar ways to that of Randy Rhoads and Dimebag Darrell! \m/ I hope he finds a place to land post-Nevermore. Definitely my favorite current metal guitarist. Just amazing!!!!!

[kingv911]

After watching videos like this I get so amped up to go play. So I plug in and turn it up but what happened in this video doesn't happen.

[kornjaca33]

hahaha you can see Jeff Waters in background learning :D

[dimebagdarrellftw]

I wants Me a ENGL now...

[givemeajackson]

i think i'll get a fireball 60 as a backup amp.

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

WOW THE LEAD SINGER OF SPINAL TAP CAN JAM!!!

[amusingisthedawn]

4:30 Why is Tony Soprano tryin to sneak a peak?

[RemySin]

I'm glad I can basically get the same sound trough the same halfstack, better check these babies out. These can smack a peavey 5150/6505 into a thousend pieces.

[metallica5252]

@RemySin easily...it's just their price tag..

[givemeajackson]

@metallica5252 in europe a fireball 100 is cheaper than a 6505+. mohahahahahahahaha!!!!!

[metallica5252]

@givemeajackson wow that's half-ass backwards then.. lol

[givemeajackson]

@metallica5252 it is indeed. and to buy a mesa in europe means going bankrupt. engls are cheap here. i paid 700 bucks for my used blackmore.

[metallica5252]

@givemeajackson gahhhhh time to move to Europe.

[givemeajackson]

@metallica5252 *sadistic laugh*

[givemeajackson]

@RemySin true, true, true... and the special edition devides it by zero...

[m4ggotinside]

his tone always makes me getting diarrhea because it´s so fuckin br00tal

[romanozzy]

Jeff Loomis KICK MAJOR ASS!!!! And that crushing sound of new Fireball is amzing!!!!!!!!!!

[rodsteelaces]

man not 1 lesson

[ScreaminSavior]

Can someone tell me what Nevermore song this is please?

[IamCucumbers]

@ScreaminSavior the Obsidian Conspiracy

[BlackAngel111111]

Jeff Waters NOT BAD face. EPIC

[dg082306]

big deal... if i had 14 fingers i could dominate like this too.... wait, he has......? seriously!?

[petewat98]

He is using the Phaser effect throughout the entire video :P.

[ExesForEyesMusic]

@petewat98 its just Loomis moving between the speakers and the camera mic. Gives it a washy vibe.

[LordHines420]

no, jeff.. thank you!

[FormerHuman]

I am well impressed

[GamerAndTechy]

Avenged Sevenfold poster in the background \m/

[MADEINMAIDEN]

TOUGH DUDE DRINKS WATER.

[iPodbo9i]

that guitar is just thoroughly raped

[DeadKold]

love these riffs zomg

[TheRed343]

that.. was... FUCKIN SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:O

[foxychick82]

LOOMIS OWNS THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!....HAIL!

[aaa567ify]

Bounced around on a few videos and found this one. Jeff Loomis is killer... Bro knows how to play. Great upload.

[SIlentAwakiningLdG]

anybody else see synester gates guitars in the background. all 3

[CMetalTube]

Oh yay! Now I can steal Loomis' settings!

No seriously, this is pretty awesome!

[MParseface38]

ENGL = German Craftsmanship. Unbeaten.

[dg082306]

algebra: 

(1 guitar + 10 fingers) jeff loomis = complete & utter domination

[littletingoddess96]

jeff loomis is fucking insane! :D

[TESTAMENT2]

CHRIS BRODERICK AND JEFF LOOMIS BEST METAL GUITARRISTS NOW A DAYS !!!

[18266609]

crushing is an understatement

[auron2301]

is that jeff waters in the background? lol wtf 

[rafapak]

nice long fingers

[THERAUNCHIE]

wait is this an actual song or is he just jamming cuz if he is just jamming fuchhhhhhhhhkkkkk

[THEGSPOT0394]

@THERAUNCHIE haha. no man this is from nevermore's last album. the song is the obsidian conspiracy. its a great album check it out.

[THERAUNCHIE]

@THEGSPOT0394 oh haha for sure man thanks im gonna do that ive never got into nevermore so ima start by checking out that album

[mmim4]

@THERAUNCHIE so what did you think of nevermore? im sure you listened to "this godless endeavor" best song ever

[THERAUNCHIE]

@mmim4 fuck yeah man that song is so fucking awesome and i was listening to the river dragon has come with chris broderick that harmony solo part is so fucking insane

[Bludhoundz8]

@dannyjerome0 Dude, don't give up. Trust me. You will eventually get there if you just keep practicing :) I'm not even kidding, Jeff is a GOD but the only way he got to where he is today is through thousands of hours of practice. Yeah, its tough, but the end result will be so worth it. If you love the guitar, you'll be just fine

[electroneticTV]

schecter guitar huh

[givemeajackson]

@electroneticTV his signature.

[Darkreignofset]

Jeff is da man, That new ENGl sounds pretty good. think i may pick one up. I have been using the powerball for 3 years now and its a killer amp. So is my peavy triple XXX though.

[givemeajackson]

@Darkreignofset i've got a triple XXX 412 cab and an engl blackmore. the XXX is a pretty awesome cab. the engl on the other hand is a bloody buttfucking awesome amp!

[ritehand1]

IM DONE that is all......

[AvalonK8]

oh my fucking god!

[zaktan415]

JEFF WATERS IN THE BACKGROUND

[kothet0]

@zaktan415 yeah dude. i think its really him. haha

[nutellapop]

Jeff Waters in the background?!

[unbornchild5]

I love it how he plays that riff on 0:25, he really plays it with so much feeling for music. I really feel like headbanging when i hear that riff.. :D

[slaytalix]

as an endorser the must not pay this expensive top & head. i must buy it itself

[THEGSPOT0394]

While his ENGL gently weeps...



[mastertracks19]

Jeff Waters of Annihilator chilling in the back with the Skull Shirt on

[lelechitarra77]

@mastertracks19 ^^ another big one \||/,

[Hatedbreeder6460]

Jeff Loomis impregnating everyone in the room with an ENGL Fireball 100 part 2

[wolfman109h]

evolution of human:

ape-homo sapiens-chuck norris-jeff loomis

[Feileiks]

@wolfman109h nah man, chuck norris would do that with the left side of his nose

[Madbutcher305]

@wolfman109h

Needs to be Jeff Waters sharing that last point in evolution.

Funny to see him just in the backround watching. Seems to be pretty happy there.

[fetapumba]

Really cool to see Jeff Waters in the bakground digging Jeff Loomis playing.

[guitarmurakami]

jeff loomis plays the guitar like a man.

[sumopub]

The secret to Jeff's playing? He's actually negro.

[edward892]

@sumopub lol....bullshit....he's 1005 hitler youth,

[KyrBaxladiotis]

I JUST SAW JEFF WATER FORM ANIHILATOR!

[JimKnopf15]

@KyrBaxladiotis ME TOO WTF°!

[squibster]

Jeff Loomis is technically proficient, while still having the goods to sound kickass. This man has mastered his craft.

[thundercross9]

For the film shooter: Did you see any Overdrive pedal or other enhancer in front of the fireball?

If so, do you remember what it was?

[XSDarkMoonZX]

@thundercross9: I didn't shoot this, but I saw a video of Loomis at EMG studios running through a tube screamer and the into an ENGL (SE maybe)? The tube screamer was probably modded like crazy, but he didn't say much. It's a pretty simple set up.

[brkndstrng14]

@thundercross9 he uses a Maxon OD808 overdrive pedal :) Jeff said it himself in one of his interviews

[Lol927837]

WOW.. Amazing playing..

[Utamaru56]

What song does he plays? It very impressed me, i want to leant it. Sorry, i've never heared nevermore\Jeff, but now I'm going to listen this!

[hellraiser8711]

@Utamaru56 The Obsidian Conspiracy

[D1vid3By0]

@Utamaru56

Don't be sorry about that, be sorry that Jeff is no longer a guitarist in Nevermore.

[fastjunkie831]

lol is that jeff waters behind him?

[Rexusmetal]

THUMBS UP IF YOU ALSO SEE JEFF WATERS FROM ANNIHILATOR AT THE BACK!!!

[Enemyofreali7y]

I can't believe Nevermore broke up.. :(

Jeff will find his way, but him and Warrel was SUCH a good combination..

[amithabajan2]

@stix471 and loomis would win.

[BinkiewiczWSU]

Anyone know his settings on the amp, or where I can find them?

[kirk97932]

@BinkiewiczWSU Look at 1:06 and 1:19, there are some knobs you can see

[irmasil3]

Jeff Waters:" Damn, back in the 80s I was the best thrash guitarist around...now these new guys try to kill me......Welcome to my death!!!!!"

PS: Of course we all know that nobody can kill mr.Waters....

PS: Jeff Loomis is God right????Cause he definitely reminds me of him....

[stix471]

if jeff loomis ever goes to hell, satan has one beast of a fucking guitar battle for jeffs soul on his hands.. =/

[FirePower3006]

Holy fucking shit dudes.

[EinEuroGegenRechts]

Total hardcore is ja das Vittel Wasser auf dem Amp :D

[taj334]

Jeff Waters thought at that moment:

Why the hell did i signed up for Hughes and Kettner?

[616Amon]

Left behind Jeff stands Jeff Waters at 0:22 8-)

[jfkdjfd]

@616Amon That's why this video is good, cause Jeff is there.

[Tschannick925]

the inlays are fucking awesome

[wolfman109h]

the real title:

Jeff Loomis raping an ENGL Fireball 100 part 2

[givemeajackson]

@wolfman109h real title: jeff loomis crushing the audiences dreams with an ENGL fireball 100...

[FretsOfDeath666]

all around amazing guitar player. not only is he an insane shredder, but even his riffs fucking smoke. so many shredders can't write a killer riff to save their lives.

[HogsBoysMavsCards]

This is who all aspiring metal guitarists should try to emulate. Loomis does all the rudimentary stuff so well. His economy of movement with his hands is incredible. Plus his use of all types of scales should be commended.

[1mDeOtDaDl1]

Loomis fuckin shreeeeaaadddddsssss dude. Love this guy and his style!

[Melanie10901]

Jeff Loomis is my personal god.

[cmv140]

@Melanie10901 Me too, me too. I would kill to play guitar with him, even if he completely owned me in shredding ability,

[lrn2swimlrn2swim]

I'm having a lot of trouble leaving this comment, my face just melted off.

[ILoveallguitars]

This is REALLY sloppy for jeff

[MikeMikeNana]

@ILoveallguitars Like in the shredding parts? To me it looks like he may not have had time to warm up

[Tonefreak91]

@ILoveallguitars I wish I was this "bad" when I was playing sloppy Lol

[e3axordos]

jeff loomis is the father of djent. he djented before the term djent was even firstly used.

[DreomaBloodwolf]

@e3axordos Heh, now that you mention it, he does have some sounds that seem to influence Djent artists. Keep your eyes open for him, though. I read that he recently left Nevermore.. So, who knows what kind of tunes he'll be playing next.

[DETHMETALZ4LIFES]

@DreomaBloodwolf Djent isnt an actual genre....

[DreomaBloodwolf]

@DETHMETALZ4LIFES It's a style that some artists play with, but I fail to see where I included the term 'genre'.

[DETHMETALZ4LIFES]

@DreomaBloodwolf the comment you replied to definitely was throwing it around like a genre and when you say things like djent artists i figured it was kinda implied like if i were to say blues artists or metal artists.... i didnt mean to come off like a dick but i was just sayin because so many people consider djent a genre when in fact artist like misha mansoor explained where the term came from and what it means.

[DreomaBloodwolf]

@DETHMETALZ4LIFES Heh, alright, it's cool. But I see where you're coming from. I wouldn't call it a genre myself. Not even a subgenre, it isn't that established or solid yet.

[itsdrpepper567]

@DETHMETALZ4LIFES how the fuck did we both end up on the same video?

[DETHMETALZ4LIFES]

@itsdrpepper567 Cuz jeff loomis is one boss as mutha fucka, mutha fucka

[itsdrpepper567]

@DETHMETALZ4LIFES i think you just watch every loomis video there is

[DETHMETALZ4LIFES]

@itsdrpepper567 basically

[itsdrpepper567]

@DETHMETALZ4LIFES you are a professional loomis stalker

[ducky811]

I love Jeff's playing...but WHY does his tone always sound so DAMNED buzzy and overdistortedly shrill?!!! I think it's the EMGs. That's why I am sooo not a fan of EMG pickups!!!! If I had a Loomis Schecter...I would dump those EMGs ASAP!!!! Personal opinion.

[wariomt]

@ducky811 he has gain on full, thats it :)

[AsNevrmoreLayBodom]

@ducky811 i was there and he used a tube screamer in front of the engl. if you put one of these in frot of an engl thats gain is on 11 it might sound buzzy lol but its a matter of taste if you like this kind of tone

[ducky811]

@AsNevrmoreLayBodom Thanks for clarifying. He should either drop the Tube Screamer or drop the gain on the amp...way back!!!!! IMHO!!!!!!!!!!

[Peonar]

@ducky811 My opinion is exactly the same friend :) This is tha same reason i have installed Seymour Duncan Blackouts on my Schecter...much much better! Cheers :D

[FirePower3006]

@Peonar Lol dude blackouts are horrible compared to bare knuckle pickups don't even compare, hell emgs are better than those things, blackouts = loose low end/to much bass.

[MyScaryScrotum]

@sparkelius You're a god damned idiot.

[Riotstarter100]

@sparkelius

you cant be serious

[panuelo87]

:OOOOOOO

[santinojames88]

jeff loomis is just a straight up metal god.



[xXGuitareHeroXx]

Pause at 1:41  the Amp isn´t at full gain at all :O ... its just a bit more than a half.

[dark666shredder]

@xXGuitareHeroXx awesome

[5150VanAlien]

@xXGuitareHeroXx Good point, the Fireball 100 has so much gain, Satan would crap his pants...

[taj334]

@xXGuitareHeroXx

yeah, because jeff is using a tube screamer

[sench92]

The Metall Prince

[guitarsehole]

Oh fuck!!! HEAVY RIFFS!!!

[MrGalway65]

i wish he would adopt me :P

[ovi1987]

when did GOD come to earth? cool

[wyldefan716]

his tone sounds like a stomach ache \\m//

[horusoftheblackflame]

his  tone is orgasmmic O.o

[givemeajackson]

lol, waters wears a st.pauli shirt. doe he even know st pauli?

[CdnRattlehead]

Jeff Loomis and Jeff Waters: two of the most underrated guitarists in metal.

[samich666]

the toneking is way better at demonstrating the true power of this amp.

[KRoegiest]

@samich666 You kidding me? He makes every amp sound shrill to my ears ... ENGL's need mids! The more mids you give 'em the better they sound :-D

[samich666]

@KRoegiest hahahaha. of course i'm kidding. the tone king is fucking aweful

[powermetalking]

FUUUUUUUUCKINGGG AWEESOMEE! I LOVE THE FIREBALL!!

[macintirekyler]

OBSIDIAN CONSPIRACY!

[chri55y92k]

What track is he playing here? its fucking epic!

[macintirekyler]

@chri55y92k OBSIDIAN CONSPIRACY!

[chri55y92k]

@macintirekyler Cheers dude I looked further down and realised that someone had already put that, just got into nevermore atm, was under the impression there was a ton of keyboards in there, turns out not YESS

[macintirekyler]

@chri55y92k yeah, jeff loomis is a fucking maniac

[harimauvortex]

still waiting for a jeff loomis signature engl

[animatedbystarlight]

is this one of the tracks from his solo albums ?

[MrTrollgar]

@animatedbystarlight The song name is the obsidian conspiracy off of Nevermore's album The Obsidian Conspiracy.

[TheHellraiserc7]

@animatedbystarlight no, its the title track of the latest nevermore's album, the obsidian conspiracy!

[pyrodude0]

dayum,

Paul Gilbert + Gus G = Loomis :O

[hgfbjrn]

is he playing on the engl only? or did he have pedals between?

[RemySin]

I own a Fireball 100 myself combined with an ENGL xxl cab. Play this with passive humbuckers, and you'll be able to crush every Peavey head.
