Jeff's understanding of harmony and the weaving of mind-bending riffs and insane solo passages within those progressions, while keeping everything fresh and super metal is unlike anything I've heard... Amazing!
I seriously can't stop listening to this, it really shows how much Jason Becker influenced him, the whole thing is oozing Becker, and I LOVE that! Definitely one of the best modern day shredders right here! /,,/
+deanml1986 hell yeah he is, he's like what happens when you throw together becker, malmsteen and maybe a bit of friedman and petrucci... something like that anyways lol whatever he is, he's a monster of a player. i'd agree this one definitely screams becker though lol love jeffs work
ok, that is probably some of the cleanest sweep picking i have ever heard, its as clean as jason becker's was, reminds me alot of 'Black Cat' by Cacophony. Absolutly amazing.
@@sackson2025 Umm.... better than Friedman sure, better than Becker? 1. you can't even judge that kinda thing cause Becker can't play anymore and 2. No. Just no, Becker is up with Shawn Lane for being a man that sold his soul to the devil. If Becker was still playing today Loomis wouldn't stand a chance in hell of comparing. Becker was literally a pillar of the shred scene, I've seen Loomis perform several times and he's always a bit sloppy. Jason has NEVER EVER EVER had a sloppy performance. Consider me triggered lol, don't compare people to Becker. Becker was a literal god, Loomis is just one of the greatest guitarists alive. Nothing compared to Becker's godhood status.
@@sackson2025 Even Loomis would be pissed at you saying that he's better than Jason Becker. Becker was in a league of his own. Definitely better than Friedman, though, that much I can say.
When your soloing is so awesome your CRUSHING and absolutely fucking EPIC RIFFAGE goes largely unnoticed. Seriously, the foundation supporting the chops is every bit as impressive as the leads.
It really reminds me a lot of Vinnie Moore's early pieces. Still a stratospheric performance and sound!!! One of the few modern guitarists who does not limit himself to pure technical virtuosity! Gradissimo Loomis!
Another great song, well the entire album is beyond amazing!Listen to it everyday!! this album has so much Cacophony,Marty Friedman Influence besides having him on Mercurial. years not over, but its my #1...I doubt anything will top it....for me!!
Glad to hear the combination of tension from nevermore's influence and melodic from Jason Becker. This is amazing and an original. Only foolish people will compare both of them.
Damn I miss my guitar.. It's at my dad's. AH dammit I'm gonna cry myself to death.This kills me.It's too good.So much inspiration in such little times and bits.Dang.Just brilliant.Amazing Jeff Loomis.
Don't feel like that dude! Whenever I see something like this, it gives me incredible amounts of motivation :) I saw Attila playing live twice(from the first row, f'yeah), and it shocked me, how insanely talented He is (not to mention, what a cool, and funny guy he is). If I ever get the chance to see Mr. Loomis play from that distance, the ambulance will have to give me somethin' against overdosing :D
His string skipping at 4:25 (for instance) is amazing, just like Paul Gilbert. Jeff must have some of the best technique that I've ever seen (similar to John Petrucci and aforementioned Mr Gilbert). Better song writer than the average guitar masturbator as well (and believe me, I've listened to a lot of them). Extremely impressive!
To end this endless discussion about who is better, Andy or Jeff? Both are godlike! Playing guitar is no sport! And music is no god damn competition!!!

Only man to ever make Chris Broderick his rhythm player lol
2003JrF4i true that hahaha .
that's one way to put it lol
Never heard of Christian Muenzner?
Spacesonia i don't think münzner ever played with broderick?
I say, if Chris Broderick and Christian Muenzner would play together, I'm sure broderick would be the rhythm guitarist
I can hear so much of Jason Becker in there while at the same time a very distinctive Jeff sound... very nicely done Jeff
Goosebumps every time I listen to it.
I seriously can't stop listening to this, it really shows how much Jason Becker influenced him, the whole thing is oozing Becker, and I LOVE that! Definitely one of the best modern day shredders right here! /,,/
deanml1986 Indeed. Only people I'd put above or around him are Luca Turilli and Michael Romeo.
Rest of 'em look like amateurs by comparison.
thrustingvoilently My two favorites, Loomis and Romeo. I love how Romeo's chubby little sausage fingers fly and produce beauty!
+deanml1986 hell yeah he is, he's like what happens when you throw together becker, malmsteen and maybe a bit of friedman and petrucci... something like that anyways lol whatever he is, he's a monster of a player. i'd agree this one definitely screams becker though lol love jeffs work
+thrustingvoilently What about Muhammed Suiçmez, Christian Münzner, and Andy James? Definitely not amatuers imo
@@tylorcaruth2672 I think Loomis is a has a better balance of Melody and technique.
damn, those tarantula fingers xo
"Jason Becker is strong with this one" cit. Darth Vader
Great job, Jeff! \m/
1:23 when Jeff Loomis hear you playing guitar
Aahahahah...ahahah...hah..hah(...(((
Lol
ow, my self esteem.
This piece is filled with beautiful cadences. Thanks Jeff for making awesome music!!
1:24 When you know that the shit you did was pure epicness
This makes me so happy. It's like Jason Becker with today's production quality. What a blessing. Jason's music lives on through Jeff.
skwisgaar skwigelf's real life counterpart
This is absolutely phenomenal!
I love to see how he smiles enjoying his amazing playing.
great run by Jeff ! Such passion! La sang et la rose.
That bend at about 3:43 gets me every damn time! It's like the guitar screams out at you!
This man is incredible
ok, that is probably some of the cleanest sweep picking i have ever heard, its as clean as jason becker's was, reminds me alot of 'Black Cat' by Cacophony. Absolutly amazing.
I can't believe no-one mentions Jeff's flawless technic! It's perfect! I can only imagine if their was ever a demon playing guitar it is Jeff Loomis!
Becker,Friedman,Loomis
Zarko Stejic Their league 👍🏼
Romeo
Loomis is a slightly better player than both Becker and Friedman. Not an easy feat, a modern legend.
@@sackson2025 Umm.... better than Friedman sure, better than Becker?

the song,the playing the smile Jeff gives made me love it more :')
Amazing lead player and truly inventive with melody and shred!
Awesome Jeff Loomis!!!
There's a definite Jason Backer-y flair to it!!
Jeff Becker
Hamza Benki He is Jeff Becker
lol
Great stuff. I've been a fan for a long time.👍

A truly amazing player!
I love this track so much
Damn! This guy is good! Im happy that of all people replacing Nick in Arch Enemy its this guy
Man..JEFF LOOMIS ALONE MAN HANDLES...NICK!..lol..Jeff loomis is to fucken talented!! "Check shouting fire at a funeral"!!..LOOMIS DESTROYS ALL!!!!!
***** Arch Enemy is perfect for Jeff IMO. Think about it.. Jeff AND Micheal..
@@TheOverloadxRsps lmao they completely ruined Loomis tbvh
THIS IS REALLY GOOD ! HE IS KILLING IT!!!!
I love they way he does his diminished arpeggios by string skipping...reminds me of paul gilbert
The melody line at 1:35 is worth the price of admission alone.
Yo!
Look at him play that like a classical guitar. I give him all of my love.
I really wish he was not in Arch Enemy.... Conquering Dystopia is way more impressive
CMOOREtbay easy money
Dude, he is still in conquering dystopia
Is conquering dystopia a progressive metal band?
@@alexilaiho8534 yes, it has progressive stuff
I want to waltz to this song. So beautiful.
This is so musical. I have been away from shredding a couple of years, but this piece is reviving some of that will. :D
Nice, another video which I can stalk every day at least once!
real badass loomis! superb
Incredible!
awesome piece!!! :)
i deffinately hear his style a lil bit thats awesome hes one of my favs
Those ending arpeggios are nothing short of majestic.
1:24... "They think they could one day play like me" - Jeff's thoughts
insane, thank you jeff
Jeff Loomis awesome badass 🤘🎸
Amazingly sick. I love that part.
Another great song, well the entire album is beyond amazing!Listen to it everyday!!
this album has so much Cacophony,Marty Friedman Influence besides having him on Mercurial.
years not over, but its my #1...I doubt anything will top it....for me!!
so excellent I'd love to play that
Glad to hear the combination of tension from nevermore's influence and melodic from Jason Becker. This is amazing and an original. Only foolish people will compare both of them.
I like that he keeps his studio clean......and he practices....
Awesome!
Damn I miss my guitar.. It's at my dad's. AH dammit I'm gonna cry myself to death.This kills me.It's too good.So much inspiration in such little times and bits.Dang.Just brilliant.Amazing Jeff Loomis.
Anyone who can play like Jason Becker is a master at the guitar, he is still the greatest guitar player of all time to me!!
this song is insanely beautiful.. it just a feel good song. melody is handled with supremacy and its just such a brutal piece
I can't get over how much the beginning sounds like Cacophony's speed metal symphony. The rest is awesome though
Cynical Metal he is Jeff Becker
Ethan Fair You nailed it man!! Good ear!
that laugh at 1:24 makes this song even more EPIC!
i miss that signature guitar of yours jeff one of my dream guitar beside PRS guitars
so amazing.
This is why me and all my friends regard Jeff Loomis as the master of the guitar.
Awesome tonality on the lows and highs man! This is fucking awesome! \m/
Holy shit, Jeff Loomis is my new favourite. Love it
Exactly this.. Its always this same when watching songs by Loomis
EXCELLENT DESCRIPTION!
This is very amazing.
pure awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music to my ears 🤘🤘
amazing...
Holy shit... Been listening to Arch Enemy and Nevermore for years and never saw this beast's solo work. Fuck this shit.
yes, loving the jason becker sounding leads!
His guitar playing will be our method of communication when we get first contact with extraterrestrial life.
My new inspiration
Really awesome guitar player
THAT. WAS. AMAZING. I can now die in peace
You're amazing, I'm so fucking amazed.
I don't have any words to describe this master piece.
Simply, you're the best.
Just when i stopped watching the first vid, here goes another 3 weeks of my life :p Amazing!
Good lord. Jeff you da man!
Don't feel like that dude! Whenever I see something like this, it gives me incredible amounts of motivation :) I saw Attila playing live twice(from the first row, f'yeah), and it shocked me, how insanely talented He is (not to mention, what a cool, and funny guy he is).

Ripping sounds great!!!!
Jeff is a beast!!!!

Better song writer than the average guitar masturbator as well (and believe me, I've listened to a lot of them). Extremely impressive!
Love that scale.
Impeccable sweeping.
God damn it! This is so fucking amazing and it's so damn noticiable the Jason's Becker influence but still great as always!

So sick

To end this endless discussion about who is better, Andy or Jeff? Both are godlike!
Playing guitar is no sport! And music is no god damn competition!!!
