The Nevermore reunion drama

[@AdamDobbs-t6l]

I am so happy Nevermore is reigniting

[@ronhoughton5147]

Looking forward to the new material. My all time favorite metal band.

[@josephmills7033]

My 2nd favorite band. Number 1......Overkill. sorry about that.

[@ronhoughton5147]

@josephmills7033 No need to be sorry. Liked Overkill too.

[@filheim]

Drama? It's just Jim Sheppard's wife talking crap. Jim RETIRED from music. Good try Yoko!!!

[@petermoroz6556]

Yoko! Too funny!!

[@David-t3q7k]

Jeff will be the musical mastermind, so they probably don’t need contribution’s…just the right players.

[@hazardeur]

its just gonna be a loomis solo album. nevermore was more than the sum of its parts and on top of that a huge part is gonna with warrel and also tim. they should use a new name, new concept. its gonna suck. same vibes like the pantera "reunion" which is total BS. they should just call it something else and respect everybody. this is just screaming money grab for the name. if they try to revive nevermore it will fail anyway because 2 key members are gone. so by using the name it will either be forced to be something akin to nevermore just not as good or it will be something completely different which then makes no sense with the name. i hate the fact they tarnish the name of one of my fav bands for quick cash

[@sparkynm156]

Jeff is an Alien, Beyond Talented and so Tasteful...

[@josephmills7033]

I dont care about Jim or what his wife has to say. Ready for some Nevermore.

[@vashstampede5933]

It's not a reunion, it's a reformation, Jim is retired, Warrel(RIP) is gone... Admittedly filling Warrel's shoes will be a VERY tall order. I am confident Jeff has connections and will find the right people to reforge the band. Bring on the NEW Nevermore. 😎🤟

[@alwarrior211]

What if Pat Obrian rejoins as second guitarist again!

[@blakeoms]

This is exactly what I was thinking, but even back then he wasn't exactly enthusiastic to keep writing with them and had different focuses on his visions. But now that PAT is helping other bands, this chance would be AMAZING for him.

[@Brainpress01]

x1000

[@cortarelva]

The best fit would be Steve Smyth. Pat never really wanted to be in Nevermore he should return to CC.

[@blakeoms]

@cortarelva I think until Erik rutan decides he wants to continue his band hate eternal which he never did say was done, just on temporary hiatus it would be the only situation where I can see CC hiring PAT back but I believe now that Erik is a permanent member cause I thought Erik would turn over his time with PAT but it doesn't look like it now IMO.

[@KeshikS2C]

Attila Vörös was playing 2nd guitar in the band at that time in 2011.

[@sparkynm156]

I stayed with Warrel for a bit before He went to Brazil... He had Every Intention to Call Jeff and Van after his new Solo Album was complete. There is a Massive Concept that runs throughout the albums and Warrel wanted to tie it all together with the last Album"S"...... Warrel had so much he wanted to say to Jeff, It's Heart Breaking that he never got the chance... Warrel is still under Contract with Century Media for a a couple albums..... and He was READY to Get Writing with Jeff... There is away to Finish the Concept of the Albums and Finally Let the Fans Realize that there was even More to Warrels Talent.... He Was a Truly Honest Singer, Pouring Out His Soul With Every Single Note and Nuance.... Weaving Lyrical Masterpieces that Could mean something So Profound to A Million Different People in a Million Different Ways Each So Personal to Each Listener.... Yet Inspire His Fans To Conceive a Myriad of Perceptions yet ultimately all paths would lead to the same Clarity and Understanding... Just thinking about Warrels Intent is Awe Inspiring and I Pray this is the course of writing that will be pursued.... The Demo Pieces still Haunt Me and Those among other remaining pieces Must Make It To Jeff... This would be the most versatile and surprising series of songs to date... Without Warrel, Many have doubts, and I understand but Jeff can Absolutely Reach Deep Inside and Pull this off with who he chooses and Van on the Drums, What an Under Rated Drummer... Absolutely Incredible Drummer... I wish I could say so much more but its definitely not my place.. Good Luck NEVERMORE \m/ Warrels Silence Has Been Deafening for Far To Long... \m/

[@Bjornsguitarspecials]

Looking forward to it🤘🏼

[@j.l.h.2650]

I can't wait !!! It was sad that Jeff was just a guitarist for hire and not able to contribute to Arch Enemy. I hope Jim support's them in the end. As a friend and ex roadie for Jim, I know he can't do the touring life style anymore. Jeff Hubbard

[@Shagrath71]

Just make it a new band with Loomis. Hard to consider it Nevermore with no Warrel.

[@symbologee]

Exactly

[@robertwaller2983]

Yeah, those are some big shoes to fill

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Get Broderick. He’s a hired gun in in flames anyways. Let him and Jeff cook together

[@omegaconspiracy7536]

Yeah, it would be stupid not to

[@canyonproductions7683]

Sooo Not a cash grab. I used to play in a band with one of the Nevermore guys (not mentioning names) but I will say Jeff is known to be a stand up guy.

[@hazardeur]

they should use a new name. with this name and this setup it definitely is a cash grab

[@cortarelva]

Jim helped shape the Nevermore sound more than most people think so he does deserve credit. But Warrel Dane’s contributions were integral to Nevermore's distinctive sound, and his role as a lyricist was especially significant and that will be the almost impossible shoe to fill. I am not expecting this new Nevermore to be a copy of what it was and that is actually a good thing. Its a new chapter in the band. It might work, might not. There is only one way to find out.

[@toxik_cereal]

Yeah, once I saw the video about the reunion... It was not surprising to learn about the "drama" to follow.

[@michaszuty5035]

Whoever is stepping behind the mic, it's his destiny. Just beware!

[@HogLife]

Williams and Loomis will resurrect NeverMore and although Warell is passed,RIP,I can’t wait for this

[@jjrusy7438]

ahh i was wondering why loomis was not in arch enemy

[@cortarelva]

Ten years wasting his talent is more than enough.

[@ivsiguitarist]

Rumor has it that Jim is in bad physical shape...not to mention he totally wrote himself off when Nevermore disbanded...moving to Alaska and never talking to the other members again.

[@learningisgrowing]

I hope Adon Fanion auditions for vocals (and bass) - that would be killer. His relationship with Van and Jeff via Ghost Ship Octavius = 1 foot in the door already?

[@jamesduncan944]

Jeff is Nevermore. So him and Van will be just fine. They obviously do not want to work with JS. That's fair. Can't wait for some music!

[@justsomeguy8385]

I usually hate it when bands continue on without their singer who helped build their sound, but Iced Earth proved it can still be great so I guess we'll see what happens here

[@DemonizedAlucard]

It would be awesome if they got the same singer that took over for warrel in sanctuary. Guy has an amazing voice and sounds similar to

[@petermoroz6556]

Cool! But what happened with a new Sanctuary cd with dude from Witherfell? Thought that was happening! The year the Sun died is a masterpiece! More Sanctuary stuff too please!

[@ariskoskinas]

What camera you use man ?

[@realloganshow]

Just my iPhone!

[@j.t.8848]

Uhh you guys realize there is no Nevermore without Warrel Dane? He was the entire aesthetic and mood of the band. I keep seeing comments like OH IM SO EXCITED NEVERMORE IS BACK.. it doesn't even make sense. It literally can't work. Finding another Warrel Dane is like finding another Chris Cornell.. ain't gonna happen. Seems to me like Jeff can't get anything substantial going since Nevermore and since Dane is dead just figured he'd try to cash back in the name and the hype.

[@haimkeissy]

Yeah but without Warrel Dane this is useless. Just another metal band

[@cycomiles4225]

What drama? Pretty much everyone I follow looks forward to this.

[@knightsorder]

JIM has replied to the two....

[@lalberts]

Nevermore shouldn’t exist with Jeff and Warren

[@bradchristy8429]

I doubt there’s really any “IF” about it. Guys will be climbing over each other to be a part of this. I just hope they don’t go screamo cookie monster with it I vote Matt Barlow and Joey Vera. And grab Chris Broderick while you’re at it.

[@mjbrands]

Would love to see Stu Block on vocals.

[@cortarelva]

That might actually work!

[@lionheart_7779]

I would be happy if the new band did a mix of songs from Nevermore, Conquering Dystoopia and Jeff's solo albums. They don't even have to call it Nevermore to avoid legal problems with Jim Sheppard. I'm just happy Jeff left Arch Enemy where his god-level talent was wasted being a rhythm guitarist in a B or C level band like AE. Also, bringing in Keith Merrow from Conquering Dystopia would be a wise choice in joining the band since Jeff already has great chemistry with him.

[@D.A.C.-b5l]

No Warrel no Nevermore.

[@CosmicOnionRing]

Adon Fanion would be an awesome option for a vocalist.

[@sparkynm156]

I do hope Legal issues don't prevent this....

[@shanegriffin2215]

Cut out the political crap and let this amazing music be heard again. Nevermore was and will be a great band again.

[@kennethpiet2079]

The most important person of the band is no longer on this planet ! I think they should not start up again my opinion

[@peevee605]

Bass players are dime a dozen. Especially when they sit in Alaska not wanting to be with you but wanting to bitch about it? Loomis is a beast and him and Van should go out. The vocalist choice will be a thriller.

[@PeterSTIHL]

Yeah, problem is: Jim IS the Nevermore bassist, and has a beast of a tone! Plus he most likely still remembers the songs. It's still too early to tell if he's in or out. Would be stupid not to have him apart of the band but not my decision...

[@knightsorder]

@@PeterSTIHL correct

[@peevee605]

@@PeterSTIHL he moved to Alaska and went rogue. If the concept of his legacy doesn't make him even remotely interested to come out and the love from the fans and the chances of making some decent money doesn't speak to him; how are you then gonna get him out? Whitesnake John Sykes fans say the same but he never came back out after the last Lizzy shows in the 2000's. If Jim is so crucial to Nevermore; I suggest he puts his big boy pants on, get his Yoko Ono to shut up and go out and play. It's simple.

[@PeterSTIHL]

@@peevee605 I'm well aware that he now resides in Alaska and has had health issues in recent years. I was just making an observation on the situation. Being a fan since the Sanctuary days, he'll be a hard to replace and I will probably pass on this just like I did with the recent Pantera so called: "reunion".

[@peevee605]

@ I’m working on my debut album. I have assembled some of the best session guys I can for it and they are going for it 110%. If we manage to get somewhere, these dudes naturally gets the question to come out live with me. Why ask anyone else? But the legendary bass player doing the album has officially retired from touring. I might have to ask him to name his own replacement even. There is no hard feelings. We are all friends and in the same circle. There is zero drama. But it’s been my dream to do this and I can’t say no to a tour if my friend can’t come out with me. But then we need another musician that plays his stuff with the same groove. Can’t have someone playing straight notes instead of his signature backbeat. As for a band that has a legacy and a player has health issues and he’s grumpy and his wife is protesting about the bands business; I can’t take the dude seriously because he’s tarnishing his own legacy. And believe me. Every player can be replaced if you know what to look for. It doesn’t give fans like you the emotional satisfaction of Jim to be onstage but should Van and Jeff not go out under the Nevermore name because the bass player is stalling? Hell no. Let the young generation discover their amazing music. That would help Jim in the backend of things.

[@deadworld101]

I'll be honest people aren't listening to nevermore for the bassist or the vocalist. So they pretty much have what everyone wants

[@Tjhx1138]

People are definitely listening for the vocals ! Haha one of the best metal vocalists of all time.

[@anahowana]

You are wrong. People do come for Warren

[@symbologee]

Wrong

[@Joseph-l6w]

Might as well just watch Metal Injection

[@brianlandis2928]

You guys just going to ruined nevermore name u will never going 2 replace him

[@brianlandis2928]

Omg carrying the flag that's not a money grab

[@fearless204571]

I’m not looking forward to this, since Jim isn’t involved it just doesn’t seem right.

[@symbologee]

Make a new name for it. Dane passed on.
