I can picture Ola crying, when hearing Jeff said:"That's my boy."

have you seen ola's "reacting to jeff loomis reacting to ola?" He pretty much did cry haha

[@devingrubbs]

It's refreshing to hear some constructive criticism in here instead of just going "Yeah that was great!" Jeff is super encouraging about it as well!

[@eircK]

This so much. Like I heard a few of the wrong notes too, I don't want the actual guy who wrote em go "yea that was perfect". We can appreciate and admire the fact they got the other 99% right without hiding the 1%...

[@boston5814]

Exactly, tips and notes from the creator(s) of the songs are possibly the best advice you can get.

[@jkorkea]

same thing with John Petrucci, he gives great feedback

[@jasonjasniewski5925]

That’s what I was thinking too. How cool is it to hear it honestly right from the source how to play these passages correctly and what can be done to improve. At the end of the day don’t we all want to play as perfectly as possible??

My personal opinion is Jeff Loomis may be the most underrated prog. metal guitarist ever, and also Nevermore definitely one of the most underrated metal bands.

[@uwebiernacki]

I always thought him to be some super serious guy, juding by pics and videos... Apparently i was wrong. kool video. 😊👍🏼

[@magdalenachavez598]

underrated? not by us!!!

[@stan916]

No way is he underrated! And I'm sure he is well known among those who know the genre.

[@thimpap4564]

He is by far the best prog and modern metal guitarist ever, also the Dead Heart in a Dead World is by far the best metal album ever created, by the most important band ever Nevermore!!

Met Jeff on a bar 9 yrs ago. Incredibly nice guy. Really calm spirit type of guy :) Very patient because we had a ''fanboy'' with us but he still made us feel like one of them. Show was 10/10! Edit: I just realized he's going to turn 50 this year?! He looks great!

I love unusual metal, for me it's just an outlet, as for a person with a certain musical education it is an incomparable pleasure to watch the birth of something unusual, original and extraordinary on the metal scene. I can hardly think of bands that have influenced my tastes more than Nevermore, for example. And the most beautiful thing about metal is that the vast majority of talented virtuoso musicians are pleasant, tactful, positive people. This destroys literally all ancient stereotypes about metal. Thank you Jeff, your work has greatly influenced me and the music has supported me in many difficult life situations.
