I got to meet Jeff Loomis

[Via Noctis]

The other day I just got home from work and my friend brought over Jeff Loomis to say hi and see my studio. I wish I would have had time to change out of my work clothes. I gotta say he is a very nice guy.

 

[Airborne]

Wow, cool!
It's always nice to hang out with a guitar hero.

I wish one of my friends would just, "bring over Jeff Loomis to say hi." That's some fuckin shit right there haha.

Awesome man! was he cool? or was he a dick? I always thought that he would act like a dick to other people but maybe i'm wrong!

This was my first thought

Dude, come on, read a little. It says right there he was a nice guy.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

I think this story needs completion.

Thats awesome!!! I'm gonna play the part of a broken record by saying I, too, wish my friend would "just bring Jeff Loomis over to say Hi".
Who're you friends with, dude?!

Well, I didn't want to get into specifics, especially since I know I have mentioned it before. Jeff grew up in my home town, a friend of mine grew up with him and started playing guitar together. Naturally when I found this out. I was like. "Dude, I'd give my left testical to meet him." And since I have done some extensive studio work for him for very cheap. He must have talked Jeff into checking out my studio. It through me off guard. I just got a text saying someone wants to check out your studio. I get home from work and Jeff Loomis is at my door. I was so star struck I couldn't talk. He was totally cool though. Kinda guy that would be cool to hang out with. He was only here for 15 min. I just asked him about his rig and a few things, he mentioned he really likes his Engl.

and by the way Jeff's friend that grew up with him is a really fucking good guitar player too!

He also mentioned a few things about working with Peter Wickers, he said it seems like everyone is recording with laptops. I guess he doesn't even use a mouse with it, all keyboard shortcuts.. Damn, that's alot of memorizing.

 

[Bekanor]

I wanna' be friends with Jeff.

 

[Aaron Smith]

Jeff is down to earth, very humble, and totally cool to hang out with. Cool you got to meet him!

 

[Ermz]

That's great man. Hope the experience was memorable.

I've always wanted to catch up with Jeff in order to talk remixing of his solo album!

 

[Harry Hughes]

Awesome stuff man. Truly one of the best guitarists in modern metal, I can imagine what an honor it would have been to have met him.

Aaron, you should tell Jeff to join the forum

Aaron, you should tell Jeff to join the forum

Don't think this will happen. But maybe he's already lurking, who knows...

If it wasn't for Warrel, Jeff would have had the Nevermore forum torn down years ago.

Meeting 'famous people' or 'heroes' can be difficult. I met Joe Barresi last year at NAMM, hung out for a night, and we hit it off pretty much straight away. But I met Adam Jones of Tool last night... and I just made myself look like a tit!!

 

[LeSedna]

I have to change my friends.
