Jeff Loomis - Conquering Dystopia "Inexhaustible Savagery" Playthrough

[@WillyG2023]

I miss Nevermore so much. One of the greatest metal bands of all time.

[@horvathpeter8130]

I miss Conquering Dystopia too.

[@cegentry]

I miss Jeff Loomis period. He hasn’t been doing a whole lot in a while. Easily the best metal guitarist of all time. Dude can do it all.

[@horvathpeter8130]

@@cegentry The best in the 2000s era. But he did not write anything in the past ten years. Thats sad.

[@deekay2]

They needed a better singer.

[@DomicidalCovers]

@@horvathpeter8130 He has written various solos for people/bands in the past few years I think, One I absolutely love was for one of Ola Englund's song's called "Balegmah". I just hope he finishes his third solo album eventually.

[@AUTI5T1X]

Conquering Dystopia was, and still is a phenomenal record 10 years after it's release. I'm still eagerly awaiting the rumoured follow up from Jeff, and Keith.

[@damonstewart70]

It'll be out in a couple of months 😊

[@a7xmaniac088]

​@@damonstewart70 wait really? Dont give me hope 😭.

[@JohnnyRaven69]

And i hope world tour as well!!

[@eamonahern7495]

Will Alex Webster be involved?

[@lornamegan4651]

Keith hates Loomis and Seymour Duncan as well. Forget it. He says Loomis went to a "pop metal" band and ditched Conquering

[@robertweatherill9161]

Please, get with Keith and get the second Conquering Dystopia album started!

[@lornamegan4651]

[@theonegoose]

​@lornamegan4651 incorrect.

[@saurabhmisal44]

Maybe they have started already. Who knows!

[@lornamegan4651]

@@saurabhmisal44 It's never going to happen. Keith thinks Loomis left him to make money

[@saurabhmisal44]

@@lornamegan4651 That’s sad. At least they must be working on a solo albums.

[@stepitupandgo67]

Jeff fan for life! Sanctuary! Nevermore! Conquering Dystopia! The Shred! The liquidy smooth lines! I got to see Nevermore in the "Pain in the Grass" free show at seattle center back in the day...good lord...so good!!!

[@robscallon]

🙌

[@samstrolia]

We want more Loomis! 👍

[@omnamahshivaya6299]

Best guitarist ever. Love his style. He's the reason why I keep going hard.. I stopped for years actually but I finally got a C7 SLS Elite MultiScale and I learned my favorite Nevermore songs. Still working on blazing descending scales, but I hope to get there some day. Jeff Loomis is an absolute menace on guitar. When I first discovered him as a teenager over 16 years ago, I was in shock and awe. You are admired and loved Jeff!

[@rodlopezbass]

One of the best Metal albums ever! I can't wait for new music from Jeff. Awesome!

[@powN1]

Can't wait to actually hear more from Jeff. Now that he's not in arch enemy I wonder what he's up to musically. Perhaps new solo record on the way.

[@JohnnyInJapan]

Oh he left? Finally... Now he can do shit I care about.

[@SouthpawSparky_]

That’s great news…Jeff is too special to play for arch enemy…but I haven’t listened to them in about 10 years…I would love to hear a new solo album from Jeff

[@Iesous27]

​@@SouthpawSparky_I think we can all agree arch enemy is only popular because of the vocalist.

[@SouthpawSparky_]

@@Iesous27 Angela not the other girl…they were good with Angela -doomsdays a classic album imo…I haven’t like anything I heard from the newer singer and they lost all their creativity and appeal imo…super generic and just oh we still have a female vocalist but Angela was unique and fit them like a glove..damn shame Jeff went to play with them actually because from nevermore, his solo stuff and especially conquering dystopia all fantastic music imo and even his guest solos with periphery and some other bands was awesome

[@DustinWHiser]

Imagine snagging Jeff Loomis as your 2nd guitar player for TWO full albums, and you don't let him write a single riff. In-fucking-sane.

[@dethskullcrusher]

Jeff Loomis is an absolut unit as usual.

[@alanbejarano4940]

Absolute Jato Unit

[@jamesrae7246]

Always a delight to watch Jeff make the biscuits

[@omnamahshivaya6299]

Hahaha..

[@bladeofwar]

Always a pleasure to watch a master at work.

[@yingnanwang9304]

Never get tired of this

[@pixxlethepaladin8269]

So glad we're getting more and more Jeff Loomis content. All hail the mighty LOOMIS!

I see Conquering Dystopia, I click on the video immediately! 🤘🤘

[@nicholasbusch113]

Such a gentlemen I met him in NY on the last tour I have every Nevermore album cover tattooed on my arms Jeff and van were stunned

[@tel5690]

Jeff.....one hell of a cool guy...met him at NAMM 2016..... killer guitar player

[@Jackevolution88]

Conquering Dystopia is just one of the absolute best metal album in history

[@dashqe]

Jeff... awesome as always. killer player

[@elevenAD]

I sometimes forget what a great record that was!

[@dr.kennethspeers8014]

Love Jeff's playing. His lead playing is obviously amazing, but his riffs and rhythm are my favorite. Nevermore probably my second favorite metal band ever behind Opeth.

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

1:15 That bend is a thing of beauty.

[@xttocx]

Yet, the one at 2:21 is not :|

[@DeathMetalUnderKing]

I saw Jeff in a bar in Dallas about 10 years ago and man he was a such a cool and down to earth guy. An absolutely phenomenal player, too!!!

[@Soulfire-fl1ru]

I actually saw jeff at a bar 2 years ago his wife was sloppin around

[@burtsgurt]

Such a great player, his precision is insane. Jeff and Keith Merrow wrote some badass music together!

[@dilloncox1238]

Jeez! Needless to say Jeff is simply amazing. He makes it look easy , which is a huge testament to his skill and knowledge. I’d say he is one if not the most technically proficient player out there that doesn’t rely heavily on pitch shifting or any other really wild effects to achieve what’s he’s after. The guy just simply can throw down like no other! Keep on rocking Jeff. You inspire us all brother!!

[@Megadave4life]

Jeff Loomis definitely won’t let his fans down last year at this time of the year he stepped down from Arch Enemy as he did have all the fun there, but now it was time to return to more creativity where it’s more personal band that he ones found welcome back Nevermore fans to new beginnings, I always remember everything Warrel said about Loomis how Nevermore can’t be Nevermore without this guy and how Nevermore is not dead

[@Earth-Worm-Tim]

Best metal guitarist alive!

[@gitarmats]

Absolutely badass!

[@SamEricEdge]

One of the GOATs.

[@truthtobehonest]

Jeff you are a sick player man, excellent! Pickups sound killer!

[@danielehartmann2787]

Insane how seemingly effortless he is shredding his way to perfection.... ♥

[@seymourduncan]

"Seemingly effortless" is a great way to describe Jeff's playing!

[@LifeHawkeye]

So happy that Jeff is out of AE and after a well deserved break when he gets back to making his own music soon!

[@Michael-zs7yy]

Sounds amazing.

[@Mythansar]

Well. There is maybe no more Necrophagist, but we got Conquering Dystopia and we have Jeff Loomis! \m/

[@SIGMA-PHONIC]

If i had earthly idols, this man would be number 1! Jeff you have been the biggest inspiration to my guitar playing and i thank you so much! You're amazing 🤘🤩👌

[@kevinac4397]

Damn, JL is the man

[@andrewbecker3700]

Wow, that guitar has a sick top on it! The grain patterns are all flowing towards the tail. Usually I'm not a fan of binding on black blasted swamp ash. That edge binding isn't exposed on the top, looks crispy. The whole package is well executed. .

[@edwardkania9622]

I just ordered a set of these for my American Jackson. Looking forward to replacing the stock actives.

[@seymourduncan]

Hope you love the new pickups!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

​@@seymourduncan Iput a Pegasus into my Ibanez 8 over the winter, and while it finally sounds nice and loud and pretty good, I had to do alot of research and trial and error, because the wiring diagrams did not match what has going on in my guitar.

[@ДмитрийКорнев-ш5ф]

Jeff should definitely go on with Webster on bass more and more times. That was one of the enigmas of the project -this blend of styles - vicious guitar solos and famous Alex' fingerstyle. May we hear it in a new CoDy reborn!

Conquering Dystopia 👏👏

[@arvind-h1c]

Insane!

[@GuitarAbei]

Awesome

Legit note perfect. Jeff is one of those guys that plays everything intentionally and doesn't just wing it. I love his surgical precision coupled with his nasty riffs and just stankface (for me) playing.

What a champ !

[@Ouzala]

Awesome ! This sooo clean ! I dream to hear some new conquering dystopia. Also how his guitar does not fall on the floor ? I don't see any guitar strap :O. Maybe a super power guitars stick to him haha?

[@euse_audio]

get the second Conquering Dystopia album started!

[@KarzGuitar]

One of my absolute favourites - in terms of artist, album and song! Would love another Conquering Dystopia album - Jeff, you've left Arch Enemy now so there's no excuse! :P

[@Somebody_with_guitars]

Jeff left Arch Enemy? 👀 when?

[@KarzGuitar]

​@@Somebody_with_guitars a few months ago! Think it was announced in December 2023 or January this year.

@@KarzGuitar oh, unexpected news... Thank you.
