"You see kids? This is, with a lot of practice, something you will never accomplish." lol!

[@piotrekuygiutf4946]

+Jason Jasniewski It's more like "Dad, is he satan?"

[@jasonjasniewski5925]

+Piotrek Lesiński LOL! "No Johnny, Jeff Loomis killed satan."

[@metalfreekz13]

"No Timmy, Jeff Loomis is Satan's guitar teacher."

[@metalheadblues]

Loomis is know for his lead playing but he is a monster rhythm player! Happy 10 year to this album

[@ibo6756]

Right! In addition, in an interview he said that he is actually more of a rhythm player than leads.

he doesn't even know how lucky he is. In my country, the best three guitarists don't make a Jeff...

Son says “I like it “ haha ha

[@arcanian14]

I saw this man live with Soilwork, got passes to meet him, shook his hand, took a picture, got a t shirt autographed. Needless to say he is a very nice guy and a fucking God among men.

Genius. Simply genius. Had the opportunity to talk to him after their show in Lisbon and what a show it was.... Great song!

[@nazgullinux6601]

On guitar, Jeff Loomis can do no wrong.

[@realkidrage]

that little boys in the corner like idk what my life means anymore

[@TheOne-fu1nh]

realkidrage hahahahaha he propably was the classic asking alexandria and bullet for my valentine kid but then when Jeff's real riffs fucked his mind he re-conciliated the whole meaning of his existence

[@stephaniewalton6215]

Haha!!!!

[@stephaniewalton6215]

Hes gonna be a picker now

[@neonblack211]

I love how his dad pulls him away like "you are too young to see this son, mabye when you're eighteen."

[@an_38kitkashyap]

Satan would sell his soul to Jeff in order to get that amount of accuracy.

[@DaoineEile]

One of the most exciting tunes of Nevermore! In front of people in public Jeff actually performances...I'm so jealous of them. I wouldn't be able to help headbanging til decapitating if I were there. I believe that must be a suitable regard to his incredible playing.

[@auebetv]

that riff coming out of the solo at 4.20 is one mean ass riff!

[@barrysamericanbulldoghomeo1994]

One the best, if not the best guitar players in Rock n Roll

[@thimpap4564]

Man is the best, not one of the best!! Check the fantastic albums by Nevermore the Dead Heart of the Dead World anf the Dreaming Neon Black and listen the riffs and solo guitar on these two albums, the best riffs and solos ever created!!

[@Truth_Hurts_Bad]

@@thimpap4564 Shred is pretty boring. Good execution, but gets old quick. I prefer a deep, meaningful lead. Information overload is just unpleasant. I like Iommi's style. I still whistle Sabbath riffs constantly.

[@terrymahon9]

two words .. FREAKIN AWESOME !!!

[@DarkKnight896]

How he includes the palm muted harmonics or w.e. it is at 0:32 is just icing on the badass riffcake, Jeff Loomis is the almight guitar god.

[@martinlovegoodie]

That kids mind is blown some things can't be unseen

[@Opranius]

I like the fact that I own a Shecter and when I play Nevermore-like riffs it exactly sounds like this tone although I use a different amp.

Once again, our Master has spoken..............through killer riffs and leads.

[@babdeli5189]

He must have special anatomical fingers and brain to controll them. 🤘

[@chrisking6695]

No. He just sat down and practiced. I don't understand why so many are so fucking pathetic and think that they aren't capable of great things. You have a brain and every brain can form connections. It takes a mere 5 minutes for your brain to build connections when you learn a new task. So imagine how many connections you can form when you actually sit down and practice.

[@babdeli5189]

@@chrisking6695 first: watch your language. Second: you must be really young and thinking this way. If you calm down you will lear and understand things not always happens like you think. And you have to learn not to take everything too seriously...

he is a beast.... amazing riff in 03:34 which does n't sound so brutal in the original recording cause of the effects

That guy can shred. Good to know DM and John Petrucci did have some competition back then. Sad this bad is no longer. I just started getting into them. Fantastic works. \mm/

[@hey_there..]

Very, very underrated.

[@Rafael-nn8zu]

+John Lain he is by far the most complete guitarist ever existed....amazing rhythm playing and mindblowing solos with great technical approach without losing melody

[@rotearK]

why very, very? he is a well known guitarist, and a very, very appreciated one. about nevermore....hope you don't have in your mind that they are also "very, very underrated". ;)

[@2bookoo4u]

Rafael Tsahouridis I agree; I wish my chops were a 0.25 as good as his. I enjoy playing though. He is extremely good.

[@Rafael-nn8zu]

***** i can say one thing....practise beats talent and thats for sure.... if we practise enough someday we are gonna play as good as he is

[@marcofdelos]

Fucking incredible!

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

holy shit, his flow even during the improvised solo is just mindblowing and how he ripps this damn hard riff at 1:58 kills me! you guys cant imagine how difficult this riff is exspecially on his guitar cause the damn frets are so f*cking huge! though my fingers are large aswell but damn its still so hard to play it so clean and with such a flow, just wow, what a guitar player!

[@chrisking6695]

lmfao that riff is not difficult at all. That is actually one of the easy parts of the song. And tall frets are super easy to play because you have less wood under your fingers reducing friction.

[@Randinator]

He just changed that kid's life.

[@steve1982n]

Usually i don't like 7+ string guitar sound too muddy and undefined but this one sounds killer thanks to maple fretboard and master Loomis of course 🤘

[@preston2636]

The maple fretboard has absolutely nothing to do with it lmfao 😂😆😂

[@jorgemorales3752]

I love the sound of that 8 string

@Blargaha tooooo late but ty. I bought the limited edition and its awesome

[@kevdoom2]

honestly.. I played guitar 5:14 minutes ago. i wonder does he ever wake up and say. well its time to pwn the hopes and dreams of guitarists every where

[@iExisttt]

hes too good

[@GrimSt]

@Poporsh Yeah, unfortunately I heard about this. That's weird but I could sense it coming when I talked with Warrel after their show in Paris. He made me understand that they had some issues but at that time I thought "It's gonna be alright", well, I guess I was wrong. Too bad.....

[@EM_Studios]

and all that happened in one minute lol.. He can play so many notes at such short time .....

[@Barracuda007]

this just busted my brain balls...

[@Oliverastro]

solid!

[@guachoi77]

@davedsg No point of comparison. David Shankle is just fast. Jeff Loomis makes good music and there's a lot of feeling and agression in it

[@viking_sith_lord]

someone down there comparing Jeff to Dave Mustaine and all I can do is muahahahahahahahahahaha

[@grzegorzcp6435]

comparing guitarists is like comparing basketball player to football player (both are using the ball). There is no the best guitarist or something like that, each of them has its own style of playing, Loomis, Hendrix, Friedman, Vai, Mustaine, Page, etc. Unique style of playing made them famous and no one is worse or better than other one.

[@MickH60]

@@grzegorzcp6435 And in saying that, Loomis and Friedman are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest, Mustaine isn't even on the same page...

[@MarkyMarc2010]

This song defines heavy metal. What a talented musican. Being able to play music is one thing... But when you can write awesome shit like this and "Jato unit"... That's just amazing. I tried hard not to like Jeff Loomis but I just can't do it. For the record Chuck Schuldiner is god. Stay metal everybody

[@othrerir_jussi]

fuck yeah!

[@Niamorg1007]

Maybe the man was afraid that his son's soul was being damaged and consumed by Jeff's brutally awesome playing.

That kid's father was like "Sorry kid, he was touched by God. You are merely a mortal."
