Jeff you need to start your own band ! I miss the nevermore days. Would love to see you start something new ! So much talent ! Incredible like always !
Conquering Dystopia lives on... a decade later and I still spin that awesome album! Nevermore are one of my all-time favourite bands too. I hope we get more original music from Jeff in future - he is an outstanding creative artist and while I do appreciate his role in Arch Enemy - his greatest gift is in composing original material as opposed to being just a hired shredder.
By the way, I'm pretty sure we are getting another Conquering Dystopia album. I remember posts from Keith saying that it was being worked on, and he and Jeff are still friends, it's just taking a really long time. Jeff and Keith both got tied up with other projects and bands.
Jeff is the type of guitarist who simultaneously inspires AND depresses you, because he is such a talented player. I could only dream of reaching his level of ability. One of THE greatest metal players ever imho, up there with Jeff Waters, Chris Poland and a few others as absolute masters of their craft.
@@sergiynechay6942 Not just playing every day but forcing yourself to master techniques and riffs that you struggle with. It's super easy to revert to what you can already do rather than pushing yourself to do an exercise over and over until you can flawlessly pull it off.
Sometimes I forget just how great a musician Jeff is. Always a pleasure to watch him play. Would love to see you work with Wes Hauch, think you guys would make some sick tunes.
There are 4 guitarists i always go to when it comes to shredding but is always clear as to hear every note. Vito bratta, yngwie, reb beach and jeff loomis. Love them all.
The world just wasn't ready for this album when it first came out. I'm not sure the world is ready now. Some of us are still recovering from the shock that came from hearing this album for the first 100 times. I still call it the best instrumental album of all-time....change my mind.
Getting that guitar for my birthday I have been playing Jackson since 1988 I met jeff back in 2016 namm I endorse and play Seymour Duncan pickups since 1992 Killer video and track
My favorite track off that album! I can't help but hear in my head what Warrel's voice over the chaotic riffery. On another note: I'd love to hear a collab between Jeff and Eloy Casagrande. I need new music from Mr Loomis!
My favorite conquering dystopia song Jeff u r my favorite guitar player ever keep on shreddin' sure has helped me through a lot of tough times cuz I can always listen to these songs and they would make me feel so much better
@@JohnnyRaven69 Yeees! But coincidentally, I fear Megadeth could be about to replace Kiko (who's on leave because of family reasons), and might look to Jeff whom Dave already know, and who's just become 'a free agent'. I ofc want Jeff to pay his bills, but I hope we get more than downtuned versions of Megadeth classics in addition to their godawful new material + stiff choreographed lived performances in the coming years... :-/
I have seen many and I mean many great guitarist live. You name it and I have seen them probably. This guy though.. Was probably the cleanest I ever seen when he was in Nevermore. Something about the sound and tone he used that night. Not saying he was the best I ever seen talent wise... Definitely up there at the top, but he was definitely the cleanest sounding.... PROPS TO THE SOUND GUY FOR THAT ONE!!!
I know Arch Enemy is paying the bills... but here's the band I want to see: Jeff Loomis on guitar. Yuja Wang on keyboards. Gene Hoglan on drums. Steve DiGiorgio on bass. Dino Jelusick on vocals. 🤘🏼👽🤘🏼
Please don't @ me. This is what Jeff was made for. He's such an inncredible guitar AND SONG WRITER, I've always felt like he has been held back in Arch Enemy. In my opinion, I think Jeff is up there with Dime, Skolnick, Wilde etc....
One of the best metal guitarist with one of the best metal album in the world!
Such clean chops. Just unbelievable mastery of guitar. Holy Smokes…
Definitely one of the best metal guitarists ever!
Top 10 easy
Oh yes... !!!
Together with Alex Skolnick, Dimebag, Kerry King, Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett
the living legend himself, Mr Jeff Loomis! (Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Conquering Dystopia)
Is there anyone else that owns both riffs and solos as much as Jeff Loomis. Both ends of his playing are so tight.
I think that Wes Hauch is equally top-notch!! Check him out if you haven't 🙂 (Alluvial)
Dimebag comes to mind even sooner that Jeff
@@andounis If Jeff did a collab with Wes it would be monstrous.
Turbo valid thought
Alexi Laiho
Jeff you need to start your own band ! I miss the nevermore days. Would love to see you start something new ! So much talent ! Incredible like always !
Check conquering distopia🤟🏼
Conquering Dystopia lives on... a decade later and I still spin that awesome album!
Nevermore are one of my all-time favourite bands too.
I hope we get more original music from Jeff in future - he is an outstanding creative artist and while I do appreciate his role in Arch Enemy - his greatest gift is in composing original material as opposed to being just a hired shredder.
THIS \m/
Arch is him paying the bills. He has his other projects for creative endeavors but he does need to put out more solo stuff.
Jeff Loomis is the final boss of metal guitar. Truly the GOAT
He is the hardest boss difficulty. Tightness overload.
@@EvilVulthoom.
Undo it
Agreed My Brother 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
imagine a collab with him and wes hauch
We need another conquering dystopia album! 🥵
Another Nevermore would be better…
@@shaharbar might as well ask for the impossible.
@@shaharbar I'd love new Nevermore, but lyrically, replacing Warrel Dane would be like replacing Trevor Strnad. Plus, Warrel had an amazing voice. RIP
By the way, I'm pretty sure we are getting another Conquering Dystopia album. I remember posts from Keith saying that it was being worked on, and he and Jeff are still friends, it's just taking a really long time. Jeff and Keith both got tied up with other projects and bands.
Well, now that Jeff is out of Arch Enemy and has some extra time on his hands...
I need more Conquering Dystopia in my life!!!
I think we all agree this beast needs to release a new solo album or form a new band under his lead and leads 🔥🙌🏼
Is it weird that i like Lommis mostly for his Rhythm playing? such a killer riff writer.
Not weird at all, he's a sick riff writer with a great tone to complement it 👌
most of these rhythms are the work of keith merrow if i'm not mistaken
@@thedudeofficial69 no doubt, he's great too. I was more talking about Loomis' career overall here :)
@@kiwar193 Gotcha, you're right either way lol.
Most of my favourite guitarists are riff masters, Josh Middleton being one. So I totally get you.

Play every day and you will see the result)
Absolutely CORRECT 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@sergiynechay6942 Not just playing every day but forcing yourself to master techniques and riffs that you struggle with. It's super easy to revert to what you can already do rather than pushing yourself to do an exercise over and over until you can flawlessly pull it off.
We do need another CD album for sure!!
I was lucky enough to see conquering dystopia live. I would love too see Chris Broderick and Jeff do a couple songs together for old times sake
Sometimes I forget just how great a musician Jeff is. Always a pleasure to watch him play. Would love to see you work with Wes Hauch, think you guys would make some sick tunes.
Jeff has been my favorite guitarist for a long time now. How he remembers this note for note is impressive by itself.
The Perfect Jackson guitar doesnt exi....😍
jeff loomis ce p*tain de GOAT a real inspiration for all muscian in the world, guitarist or not . 🙏
I see Jeff Loomis, I click Like 👍
Always love his Friedman-esque Phrygian (and Dominant variant) runs! So tasteful!
Every time I hear this song, I am speechless; you are just pure talent. Thanks for sharing again
Jeff Is Hand's Down Top 5 Guitarist's Out There🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
For me he's top 3 for real! After Dimebag and Eddie VanHalen
@@DannyV106 Nice Danny 👍🏼👍🏼🎸🎸🎸
Jeff made the coolest 7 string you can buy
I love my JL7!!!
Yep! I build handmade custom and semi-custom guitars and basses, so I can build whatever I want, but I still play my JL-7 all the time.
this world needs another one cd album
can't believe it's almost 10 years since that album came out. Feels like it was yesterday
UNDERATED LEGEND. Jeff's an absolute UNIT. His solo on periphery's racecar is the stuff of legend.
We need PT. 2 of Conquering Dystopia ❤
so mezmerizing to watch him play. the song is an absolut masterpiece. so much talent in one video....i am speechless.
There are 4 guitarists i always go to when it comes to shredding but is always clear as to hear every note. Vito bratta, yngwie, reb beach and jeff loomis. Love them all.
Forever one of my favorite guitarists.

They really need to let him do more in arch enemy so underutilized . We need old heavy arch enemy back and new conquering dystopia
I was literally just blasting this album at work
That headstock is God like. So cool.
All time top five contender for best instrumental metal album ever. Loomis for the win.
I still crank Conquering Dystopia so fricken hard dude. A 2nd album would complete me.
We need some new Conquering Dystopia stuff
My hands are in pain just from looking at this Unbelievable What a skill
Please Jeff give us another record, I need my face melted
Jeff is untouchable. Such an inspiring musician.
A legend for sure🤘❤🔥
Loomis ripping the 7 string is always a good time. 🎉
Jeff is the master at metal guitar
Tack så J.vla mycket..Took my breath away..Så det skall vara.🙏
From Sweden.☮
Getting that guitar for my birthday
I have been playing Jackson since 1988
I met jeff back in 2016 namm
I endorse and play Seymour Duncan pickups since 1992
Killer video and track
Yes! Jeff on the seven string. Everything in the world is now okay again
I find his picking technique is very unique The way he claws the whole pick.
Holy shit he is clean! Can't Imagine much better guitar playing than this, just a walk in the park for him gives him time to be smooth and all haha
This guitar is the best purchase i have ever made 🤘 obviously its primarily kept in Bb to jam along with nevermore.
TRULY amazing player(pardon me) ARTIST. Top metal guitarist in my book.
this guy is incredible
Jeff, Keith and Rudinger in a band. One of the best moments in metal history
Can't leave out Alex Webster!
Jeff Loomis is the man 🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸love listening to his solo art ☝️☝️
His solo work is 🔥🔥
Conquering Dystopia -->> LIKE
My favorite track off that album! I can't help but hear in my head what Warrel's voice over the chaotic riffery.
On another note: I'd love to hear a collab between Jeff and Eloy Casagrande. I need new music from Mr Loomis!
From Politics of Ecstasy to now, I’m amazed by Jeff!
Timeless stuff. Need more of it!!!!
My favorite conquering dystopia song Jeff u r my favorite guitar player ever keep on shreddin' sure has helped me through a lot of tough times cuz I can always listen to these songs and they would make me feel so much better
Jeff Is One of my favourite guitarist
Love that Dragon's Kiss era Marty Friedman influence in his leads.
Jeffs technique is insane.
he is a Monster
So sick… Is this some foreshadowing perhaps? Will there be another collaboration with Keith in the future?
Every fiber in my being hopes you are correct
I wish
At least he's out of mediocre Arch Enemy now, so there should be time!
Although I fear an announcement from Megadeth coming soon...
@@Metalton95 Is he?! For real?!
@@JohnnyRaven69 Yeees! But coincidentally, I fear Megadeth could be about to replace Kiko (who's on leave because of family reasons), and might look to Jeff whom Dave already know, and who's just become 'a free agent'.

Wow he actually still remember this master piece
I think he might have played this cleaner than on the album 🤯
I thought the same thing honestly.
Jeff is the best.
Guitar tone is perfect for his style. 😊
The Master 🙏
All we need is Jeff Loomis playing more than Nevermore, Conquering Disdophia is not doing the thing anymore...
Thank you for everything Jeff for making a playthrough of this piece that I love so much (because I'm a guitarist)
Amazing love Jeffs playing
I know Arch Enemy is paying the bills... but here's the band I want to see:
Jeff Loomis on guitar.
Yuja Wang on keyboards.
Gene Hoglan on drums.
Steve DiGiorgio on bass.
Dino Jelusick on vocals.
🤘🏼👽🤘🏼
very often superbands are sounding like shit, no so well as when everyone is in his specific band. IMHO.
@@Pentatonic_Hardcore Name a superband that sounds like shit. It all comes down to the songwriting.
@@TheCyberMantis exactly, I meant the material they are producing,
@@TheCyberMantis and with Jeff at the helm (as songwriter) it should be pretty fool proof!
@@Metalton95 You see Dino's new band? Bumblefoot on guitar. Derek Sherinian on keys. Bruno Valverde on drums. And Yas Nomura on bass!
Man, the Alex Webster influence really shines through here. Such a killer group of musicians 🤘
Loomis is a beast!!!!!!
I just finished learning following your ghosts and this pops up on my feed
It’s like the world was telling me who thaught that was hard lol
What a beast!
This went so hard. lol Jeff is a GOAT
Jeff looks like he's a witcher of the school of the shred😂
Definitely involved in the occult..for those with eyes to see.
This is incredible so difficult to play and it looks so easy when he plays 🎉
I love this song!!!!!
Please don't @ me. This is what Jeff was made for. He's such an inncredible guitar AND SONG WRITER, I've always felt like he has been held back in Arch Enemy. In my opinion, I think Jeff is up there with Dime, Skolnick, Wilde etc....
This song slaps so much
É muito prazeroso ver o Jeff loomis tocando guitarra 🎸
Que hermosa manera de tocar. La mejor musica metal. Mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos. Excelente. Gracias ❤
So much power! Insane!
Legend!!
Would love for Jeff to do video breaking this song down. It has so many super cool parts to it!
one and only!!!
So refreshing
The riffing is very The Faceless. Dude can play
⭐COOL🔥Jeff loomis🔥⚔️☠️⚔️
i love this song!
Incredible
This one is just too sick! 😳🤘✨
Definitely wouldn't mind seeing Jeff rip on that 7 string in Arch Enemy.
Stunning 👌
That is one hell of a nice guitar
You rule!!!
That guitar 🎸 sick af and the riffs
🤘🤘
Wonderfull Signature 🖤🖤🖤
Lomis is a metal killer
