It's ok, don't sweat it. We always fuck with the Bodom fans, mainly because they have this cult following and we just don't understand why. It's nothing personal.

The thing that sets Satch, Vai, Malmsteen, Petrucci, & Gilbert apart from Loomis is MEMORABLE SONGWRITING, HOOKS, & MELODIES.
Jeff has proved it with his solo album. While it is full of cool shred guitar and "pyrotechnics" it lacks emotion and feeling in some places.
If you listen to an album by any of the aforementioned (for Gilbert the Mr. Big stuff) you can hear mature honest songwriting and amazing sense of melody.
While Loomis has command over the instrument the guys above dont command the instrument, its just an extention of their body, imagination and minds. Its a tool to express their emotions.
Finally to anyone who is like SATCH WTF???? Hes the only instrumental rock guitarist to ever win a grammy for a solo album. Not even Vai has topped that yet. In addition keep in mind if it wasnt for Joe, there would be no Vai.
Joe has the most emorable melodies of any of the guitarists mentioned above. While hes not a big "pyrotechnics" guy, he still can do it all. Try playing the arpeggios from "The Enigmatic" from not of this earth. I got $50 says they are the most difficult and odd thigns you have ever played, I would dare say even Loomis couldnt.

Jason glad to see you here again, I agree with what you have to say. I would even chose Hendrix & Stevie Ray over Loomis. I just prefer the emotion/feeling in guitar playing then hitting 120,000 notes per minute. I even prefer dimebag over Loomis. Though Loomis has improved with his solo album, there are a few songs that do have the emotion, which is great because i know Loomis can do it. I just need to hear more of it!
Sacristy starting at 1:23 for example, sounds like a Joe/Vai influence. Stuff like that makes me like Jeff Loomis more as a guitarist.
EDIT: Also if you think Jeff is better then Vai your either a Jeff fan boi or you don't listen to much Vai.

As far as technique goes, yeah.
But I've never heard Gilbert play anything other than cheese-dick riffs. I mean, maybe Street Lethal, but come on. And the only memorable songs Vai has is For The Love Of God and Bad Horsie.
Overall, I have to give it to Loomis over those two.

speaking of which, I dunno if the Bozarth informed you, but we were discussing jamming at some point in the near future, sans drummer.

I have off on the weekends so that would be our best bet. I know Will works some weekends so we'll probably have to work around that. I need to know maybe a week ahead of time so I can take my guitar to the shop to get set up.
