I'm very excited, I'll finally get to see Jeff Loomis shred at full power! But yeah, Warrel Dane will be hard to fill in for. Many of Nevermore's lyrics and the way Warrel conveyed them are very personal to him, and a lot of the songs wouldn't be right with a different singer. The majority of the Dreaming Neon Black album would sound weird, as you can hear the emotion and pain in Warrel's vocal deliveries on the album's recording. I do hope they perform some deeper cuts, such as Seed Awakening, Never Purify, Poison Godmachine, and Sea Of Possibilities. But, I'm getting way ahead of myself. 😂
I never thought I'd live in a world with Nevermore returning after Warrel passed. They nearly had a reunion show before his passing, but Jeffs contract with AE squashed that. Jim has aged, hes always struggled with his health. I believe hes living in Alaska with his wife still. Things were patched up around Warrels death with Jim/Van, don't believe there is any remaining beef there. Jeff and Van are respectful dudes, plus I do believe Jim still has ownership rights to Nevermore - so it'd have to have his approval to some degree, along with royalty % from anything generated from the Nevermore reunion. I hate that Warrel is gone. Saddened me for quite some time, in fact its been difficult to listen to Nevermore ever since, They've been my favorite band since their self titled album. However, the chemistry that Loomis & Van have is undeniably rare. I can't imagine they'd ever lead the WD/Nevermore legacy in a bad direction at this point. I can't wait to hear more announcements about a 2nd guitarist, will it be Smyth? Voros? Curran? Broderick? Maybe Jim will write and record? Guest spots on tour? But most of all, who will be the vocalist? Warrels work in Nevermore is 10x harder to replicate his range and delivery compared to Sanctuary. Unless they have a secret weapon hidden from us all, they may have to shift directions with vocals.
@nightmarecabin8933 Jim is...different. He went through his own thing with Warrels passing. Creating his own temporary band, all in dedication to Warrel. It was poorly produced, written, etc. I appreciated where it came from, but from a professional standard, it was very weak. AFAIK Jim's mother passed away and he inherited a property in Alaska, and he's since left Seattle to live there with his wife. Jim is definitely 'different' from most people, in a sincere and kind way.
Doesn't really make sense to continue the Nevermore name without Warrel Dane... I don't see why they could not have used a different name if they wanted to be in a band together again. but I guess they need to make a living & using the Nevermore name might get some hype.
Exactly, Iguess the only way round it is to get a name similar to Venom Inc or Death To All. Play new stuff but with Nevermore songs in the set. Plus occasionally playing the odd album in full.
Please O PLEASE this comes a reality.. ❤❤❤❤
Looks like it's coming!

I wasn't aware of Jim's circumstances so thanks for filling me in on that.
I guess we have to wait and see.
Thanks for watching

@@dannotwalruslarkin9324 The plot has thickened. Have you seen the statement from Jim?

No. Leave it alone. The voice will be subpar. Just move on and keep trying the struggling bands you are already in
