Jeff Loomis Solo Project Studio Report, 3/25/08

[Det Som Engang Var]

Oh please, anyone can do that.

 

[Altitudes]

OH HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Been waiting for an update, can't wait for the release!

 

[EricT]

Before Van, but not the first album.

Mark actually did the drums for a few tracks on the first disc. God Money, Garden of Grey, The Hurting Words, and one other, I think What Tomorrow Knows, but not 100% on that and too lazy to check.

Niel Kernon FTW!

 

[the phish]

this is going to be the best instrumental album ever

Mostly shred, maybe one or two tracks with a guest singer.

i hope not, nothing ruins an awesome instrumental album faster than some dumb singing!


edit: unless its WD, and only on the first track, thus making the rest of the album the outro solo as if it were some kind of modern day freebird

I somehow have the feeling that this will resemble John Petrucci's solo record (only with more reminiscence to Jeff's heroes): a mixture of fast and slower tunes but with a focus on midtempo, some heavy 7-string riffs, some very moody passages, a bit wanking here and there, some tasty melody lines in other spots... but nothing really extraordinary (not playing wise, that surely will be extraordinary - but I don't expect much experimental stuff). Aaaaand I smell keyboards.

I think it's a pretty safe bet to predict that this record will divide people.

Cool that he's going with NK - quality assured, though I thought he picked a local person to engineer/produce this (or is NK just doing the mixing?).

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

those clinic videos pretty much made me soil myself.

 

[NK]

I'm local.

Your post made me laugh loudly. I don't know why. Probably because I read it before I read the question like some bizarre game show.

"Karnack the Magnificent"

...the first thing I thought of was the emocon "loco", which applies to me frequently.

Reputation-wise Mr. K!

 

[Brooks]

This'll be a great warm-up for NK before he produces the next Nevermore record!

NEVERMORE is currently working on material for the follow-up to 2005's "This Godless Endeavor", tentatively late 2008/early 2009 via Century Media Records.

Probably already posted...

 

[azal]

wat

 

[slashvanyoung]

I think blabbermouth puts that in everything Nvmr related, "currently working" being very relative...

 

[NK]

This stuff is sick and wrong.

i can definitely get on board with this
