Wait what!? 1:49 "It would have been very easy for us to come up with This Godless Endeavor part II"....Why the hell didn't you then? I am a huge fan of Warrel's vocals but when I want to hear more vocally centered songs I would listen to his solo album. this is Nevermore. TGE & DHIDW & EOR had catchy/memorable songs that were also technical, "Final Product", "Acid Words" and "Sell My Heart for Stones" "I Voyager" "River Dragon". Why didn't Loomis see the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" appeal?
hahaha! I guess it's kinda hard to convey subtlety/cheekiness over written text :p I own that guitar too! You should totally try it out if you haven't already, what a beast!
Standard tuning on a 7 String is BEADGBE, to tune down one half step drop each by one semitone, so that would be A#D#G#C#F#A#D#. Same for a 6 string just ignore the seventh string. Think you were getting confused with one and a half steps.
I agree - not to be biased as a guitar player or anything but I much preferred the whole sound in This Godless Endeavor than in Obsidian Conspiracy. Being 'more notey' isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I guess bands do change direction once in a while.
He's amazing, when he plays he looks like he's gonna kill, eat and hate you forever. Scaryface! But right now I just wanna sit down and listen and smile. Polite guy!
When I went to Jeff's house, He gave me like 5 of those picks and I never liked them at first and he told me to just keep using them and I would convert. After about 1 month, completely converted. We are the same way in how we change picking styles throughout leads kinda too. I kind of use a little of everything. A lot of legato/economy picking as well. Jeff is literally fucking perfect though. Even if he had a rough night and we're just sitting in his livingroom. Haha. Cheers
Although I love this album (I have the collectors edition) just as i love the other albums, I really like my music complicated, and thats the single thing i liked about the other albums that was missing in this one... Still awesome :D
Atilla is a beast, he had Nevermore covers on youtube well before being part of the band aswell as gigging with Warrel on the solo material. Seriously check him out, his channel is "hellbounder86" and remember people its JEFF LOOMIS! saying atilla is good so take that in.
Lol I can't see how people take your comment seriously when you have a Jeff Loomis signature as profile pic, how can people be so close to screen and not see that?
I'd go so far as to say it tops enemies of reality for me, and ALMOST even tops godless endeavor...final product keeps that their best album though, at least for me ;) Peace to all, give yourself a pat on the back for being awesome enough to love these guys \w/
There's a point in what you are saying, but try to see it like this: Imagine you are an extremely skilled Formula 1 driver and you about to participate in a race, but the car you're driving is an old Mazda from the 80's.. Then your skills won't show as much as if it was a top knotch Ferrari... Am i right? :)
I've seen Atilla at Guitarcenter in hollywood. It was sort of funny, a random foreign guy with a cowboy hat talking to his bud in his foreign tongue. After he scoped out the guitarcenter decided to play one of the hellraisers then went to the evh's and blasted(loud as helll) out sum nevermore.
@bombershard believe me dude..im trying my hardest to like them, but the singing is the ONLY thing stopping me from liking the music, i'd buy every Nevermore album in a heartbeat if they were an instrumental band..lol or at least got a diff vocalist, even A screamer would suit it better...not good but better. haha
Look, I've refrained from doing this for a long time, but you are probably the 6th person in the last year who has replied to this OLD comment with a "holier than thou" remark as if you're the resident expert on tone. See here's the thing, are you ready? are you listening? ... IT WAS A FUCKING JOKE
Jeff: "it would be easy for me to write more complex stuff" 1:50 lmao
Just re-confirms that Loomis is the monster player with the most unlimited and flawless technique today.
Hung out with nevermore on there tour bus in phily after there show. Great times warrel and jeff are supper awesome!!!
really good microphone, one suspects.
He has amazing picking accuracy!
great interview and great gear questions!
I wish Jeff did make "This Godless Endeavor Part II "

I always love down-to-earth metalheads. they're very humble although they're already big.
6:15 xD
Who the fuck puts noise gate on vocal in a guitar lesson?
Strings and picks motherf- *covers mouth* so sorry 😂😂😂😂😂😂

dudes the nicest guitarist i met i had an hour talk with him :D
That is a REALLY tight noise gate on his vocal mic!!!
I hate it when guitarists say the tone comes from the fingers... doesnt stop them from buying all the best kit...
:) i LOVE jeff loomis. I hope I meet him eventually.
Strings and picks mother... hahahahahahahahahahaha
@RoathRipper I noticed that too. reminds me of a noise gate set slightly high :P
@johnwbusbee
whats a gate?
annoying mic gate :C
What's the name of the song at the beginning?
"he plays every nevermore riff uknow as if it where just ... like I was just playing it hes so so good "
lol
why am i getting confused by this. he said he's tuned down one half step. is that.
on a 6 string D#, or C#
on a 7 string A# or G# ???
Bb tuning
@IronboundV Thanks!

Satin black JL-7 ...Got one, and it's fucking beast.
@Stratacaster87 yeah XD it's buff isn't it?
oh man, you're in for a treat \m/
jeff loomis is best!
@BrandonOzborne I think his amp and stuff was set up over there.
@ntbillie Actualy, he does that on a lot of interviews. Maybe he's just uncomfortable of looking at the camera all the time.
is that a black version of his guitar??
Although I love this album (I have the collectors edition) just as i love the other albums, I really like my music complicated, and thats the single thing i liked about the other albums that was missing in this one... Still awesome :D

@partywithbonscott I'm a 100% with you on that. You express everything I feel abou the band and Jeff
I use a jazz pick jim dunlop Jazz 3 picks they're very good they last last long and its perfect for playing fast
huh, so im waiting to buy this record in the next week :)
@johnwbusbee I noticed that more in this vid than in any other.
@shuszzam yeah I have a 70 on mine right now and its definitely wow.and the associated carpal tunnel thing is definitely there too.lol
is it me or does he sound like he's talking through a vocoder? His mic is cutting off the decay on his voice lol.
greetings shred god!
@euronymous666black why, thankyou sir :)
I'm about to pull the trigger on a used one, a guy is selling to get in to photography. \m/
Lol I can't see how people take your comment seriously when you have a Jeff Loomis signature as profile pic, how can people be so close to screen and not see that?
JEFF-FUCKING-LOOOOMIIIIIIS!
@johnwbusbee Ya, me too... Good ears, man!
peter wichers and andy sneap and your album is going to be and sound so good
is he Canadian, or American??
True, but what's funny is that they mostly don't even buy the guy they receive it in endorsements.
@tehwasabiking yes nevermore is done :(
how's he keep that always wet hair look?
Someone turn the noisegate down on his speaking mike!! Every time he stops talking it goes dead silent
they'll be back ;)
@OKaeporaGaeboraO Pfft he looks fuckin brutal.
9:09 read between the lines
if loomis doesn't need a engl se who needs it??for cs!!
I'd go so far as to say it tops enemies of reality for me, and ALMOST even tops godless endeavor...final product keeps that their best album though, at least for me ;)

@Odinsgade the termination proclamation
Peter W sounds like bob rock in this interview.
Sounds like they've noise-gated his voice, it cuts off really weird x)!
I've seen Atilla at Guitarcenter in hollywood. It was sort of funny, a random foreign guy with a cowboy hat talking to his bud in his foreign tongue. After he scoped out the guitarcenter decided to play one of the hellraisers then went to the evh's and blasted(loud as helll) out sum nevermore.
is he canadian????
he's probly looking at the interviewer
@MCCrleone354 I think jeff knows what he's doing
SHIT- look at that sweater !!!
he looks like one of the dragon people from the show game of thrones.
Lol when it said picking technique it looked like fucking technique
Goddamn! It's a new USA president!
nice
Never liked Nevermore; always loved Loomis
@JPMisery ahhh now i get it.
its so wierd not to hear someone breathe when they talk XD
The gate on his mic...
70? wow!! 64? wow!!
Yeah, i noticed it sounds weird, like choppy.
subtlety's your speciality, huh?
Strings and picks motherfu... *oops* stings!
YUP, thanks.
LOOMIS! You make me want to grenade my guitar! Damn my Stupid Fingers... haha
tone is your technique.
Thumbs up
"Less notey and more easier"...right...lol
@dimeowns100 truly beautiful.
6:15 LMAO!!!
@bombershard believe me dude..im trying my hardest to like them, but the singing is the ONLY thing stopping me from liking the music, i'd buy every Nevermore album in a heartbeat if they were an instrumental band..lol or at least got a diff vocalist, even A screamer would suit it better...not good but better. haha
6:15 hahaha :)
6:04 That's what she said
On a 6 it's D#/Eb.
On a 7 it's A#/Bb.
Mustaine should have hired Loomis instead of Young then So far so good so what would have been a better album

@TheKonarider23 teehee...yer

Strings and picks motherf-
