Let's get Jeff in Guitar World

[buzz21]

You can write a letter to Guitar World magazine at:
soundingboard@guitarworld.com

I know many of us may have tried this before, but maybe a concerted effort from this board will wake them up...here is what I sent:

"I am writing this letter on behalf of all Nevermore fans, imploring you to give some respect and coverage to guitarist Jeff Loomis. The new CD "Enemies of Reality" is due out at the end of July, and once again Jeff has demonstrated his impressive array of speed, emotion and melody on this release. I feel that neither Jeff nor the band has gotten it's due from your magazine, and it is about time to recognize one of metal's most underrated guitarists!"

I'll see what I can do.

email sent!

 

[Neon_Black88]

I have alreaddy sent 1 email to them, but i dont think it will be intelligent enough for them to take any notice of .

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I doubt a magazine that hails disturbed as heavy metal gods will post anything remotley related to Loomis or Nevermore.

 

[Troyanasy]

Arch Enemy And Opeth where in GW (or Guitar One)
So Loomis has a chance

 

[rebirth]

but he ain't no pretty boy, or linkin park wanna bee...

SO HE STAYS INTHE never to be heard of band BOYS

but he ain't no pretty boy

( that's subjective, ar. )

I think guitar one would be a better bet, since they usually cover "obscure" metal bands more. Also, I have a subscription to G1, and that would be much more convenient for me.

eh... i wouldnt necessarily call 99% of Loomis's solos wankage. listen to Deconstruction... hell, all of DNB. *shrugs shoulders* good thing he isnt a linkin park wannabe. i'd kill myself to think my favorite guitarist would sound like them

 

[Ihreil Junkenstein]

Most of poltics is good stuff too. No added shit.

ITS FUNNY.

Agreed, his solos are anything but wanking.

Agreed, his solos are anything but wanking.

Man, if they were wankage, he'd have a better shot at getting in. I almost punched myself in the face when I went into the UDF and looked at Guitar, this month. Het and Krk are on the cover, but what are the transcriptions? Ugh. I'd do just as well shoving my head through the soundhole on my acoustic...at least, then, there'd be some skill involved. (You ever try to fit your head through a soundhole?)

At any rate, I would love to see Jeff in ANY of these magazines. Gone are the days when you could pick up a mag and have a Satriani transcription, along side Ozzy, Met, some blues god and a classical wizard like John Williams (the guitarist, not the composer).

Hell, perhaps it's time to do an on-line guitar "mag" with *real* guitar masters and not these wanna-be hacks. If I had the resources, I'd host it...of course, if I deleted the NeverWinterNights linux resources, that'd be about 1.3G of space, reclaimed...

I have an old Guitar magazine from 1992 with Jeff Loomis featured in the Unsigned Heroes section!

Aye, an email has been sent to get those guitarworld bastards to look at some real metal and not that other crap that the big record labels pay them off to promote.
