ironically enough, i went to a watchtower show in SF with marty (a friend), but billy white was on guitars. i still have the vinyl they gave us. god, that was over 20 years ago.

I listened to some Blotted Science... If Jeff would get a wild hair up his ass and work on material with this guy... I can see Nevermore going to even greater places.

 

[guitarguru777]

Ron would not fit at all.

hes definitely one hell of player but he would not fit the Nevermore design.

 

[Captain Beard]

On what grounds? What I heard sounds close to what Nevermore used to do, at least, with variations.

 

[Chromatose]

Saying someone won't fit with something else implies they are physically unable to abandon their preconceived stereotypical "sound."

 

[Captain Beard]

Well then why would C Broderick work out in Megadeth? He worked with Nevermore and JP and has preconceived sounds. Same with Calvert, and Smyth.

 

[Chromatose]

Exactly.

It's usually just a matter of taking exactly what you've heard before and mixing it with said band to ill effects. Not how it really works.

Then you've listened either only small portions of songs or the most normal stuff Ron's ever outputted...
Okay, Watchtower is fairly listenable for an average metal fan, but Spastic Ink is totally sick stuff. Ron obviously likes to push many boundaries and explore the sounds a guitar can produce (just watch his "guitar-over" of portions of Disney cartoons, hilarious!), never saw Nevermore's music as such...
I mean, I can easily imagine Ron playing Nevermore's stuff accurately while being blindfolded, but I don't think he'd fit stylistically.

Then again, Friedman joining Nevermore is a very interesting thought in various aspects.... Think about it, for Jeff it would probably seem like a Cacophony mk.2 to an extent (him being a major Cacophony and Becker fan), then Jeff auditioned Megadeth, while Marty actually played with them...
I think they would make a killer guitar duo with their own two very distinct guitar personalities - I say thumbs up for that, even if it's only an idea!

 

[El Stormo]

Who is this Ron fellow?

Ron Jarzombek apparently. Played with Halford too if I remember correctly.

Ummm... no?
That was his bro Bobby on drums.
As stated before, Ron was the driving force behind progressive metal greats Watchtower and now plays in Spastic Ink and Blotted Science.

Yeah, I know about Bobby, but I thought Ron used to play with Halford too?

Nope. Mike Chlasciak and Roy Z. played guitar with Halford

Don't forget his solo work.

S.A Slayer was pretty good too, but not quite as over the top as anything he did after it

 

[slashvanyoung]

+ Pat Lachman

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

+ Pat Lachman

Kinda like Pat Lachman as a singer. Beats the hell out of Anselmo.

Didn't he write the guitar for Rob Halfords Res-erection

 

[blind_cynic]

of course Ron would fit.but why not James Murphy?

 

[Will Bozarth]

Because James Murphy is busy as HELL.

Ron in Nevermore would be fucking INCREDIBLE. I LOVE Spastic Ink.

 

[blind_cynic]

now I heard the same tape with James being busy for like 10 years now...it gets redundant since from a musical point of view he didn't come with anything serious and good after his last solo album.no Death Tribute album,no Disincarnate album,no solo album,no permanent spot in a big metal band,nothing...

 

[EricT]

He's also been busy with his other career for 10 years... Mixing and Producing albums for several bands.
