Jeff Loomis is the most underrated guitarist ever

[Hejira_Omeed]

I don't know if there was a thread about this already or not, but i felt like ranting about it. Anways, he writes the most bad ass riffs and the coolest fucking guitar solos to go along with them, yet i never see him in guitar magazines or anything. It sucks. Usually, guitarists who can shred like crazy don't write cool riffs, and can't shred tastefully, but Jeff Loomis does all of those things, the guy's insane. Anways, i'm sure you all know this already, so i'm done ranting now.

loomis is the best guitarist in the underground scene today. this is a fact, not an opinion. he is among the most underrated out there. his technical prowess (engines of hate solo, ambivalent)) is superior to his peers and his creativity (river dragon) is just so damn cool.

I love his guitar riffs, they are insanely difficult to play and pure metal.

 

[neal]

tony macalpine fuckin rules too.

 

[The_Children_of_Decadence]

it's all true, sad but true...

 

[Profanity]

He's definitely one of the most underated of all time.

You are right, Jeff Loomis is incredibly underrated. He is extremely overlooked, and I like both his lead and riff work about equally.
