Well, I mostly agree with you. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why so many people raved about his soloing. I personally didn't find it very appealing at all--very little about them were pleasing to me. This is across all albums however, even though their earliest works had more that I did like than that I didn't care for. Maybe it's just the scales or progression he's using, but I really like the solo that I linked, but it probably has more to do with the fact that it actually sounds like something that would fit on DNB more than anything else.

Nevermore's early albums always appealed to me because the guitars were just as atmospheric as they were technical. While impressive riffs abounded, it was the dissonance in the background that always gave me that sense of unnerve, that haunting depravity that reminded us all of the bleakness and death-rot within this unending spectacle of life.
Slowly but surely, as the guitar's range got wider and the production got "better" (love you Neil!), that sense of impending doom disappeared in the name of cheap thrills and flashy masturbation. EoR was the pinnacle of the combination of vicious tech-shred & existential dread, but it's never been the same--Nevermore's never been the same.
The band lured me in with their authenticity in the face of thrash metal's typical pretentious fantasy.
Drugs, religion, politics, cognative motherfucking dissonance. More of that please, and less candy coated sterile pseudo-perfection.
I walk with WD. Let's go on a trip.

Well, I guess the fallout was inevitable - all we can hope for is that a few years pass, all the guys stay busy with other projects, and then one day they all sit down and hug it out. Divorces are rarely fun, I'm sure this has just as much hurt.

Honestly, I give all of you guys credit for keeping it as low key as you have been. I know it is very tough and you must want to shout it and let everyone know exactly how you feel, but sadly it is not to be for someone like yourself.
But you can always PM me and unleash the fuckin fury! I won't tell, honest.

I'm nosy and impatient with a unwarranted expectation that I should always get what I want. Therefore, while I give the due respect for keeping things low-key to this point, I'm still dying to know why the fuck they disbanded. For the (almost) sole reason that they still had so much music left in them. As good as DNB is, I feel like their best album was never created. They could have topped DNB/POE era Nevermore. I am positive of this. It's a shame we'll never know.
But. What ever. Still the single greatest metal band to ever grace the fucking planet.
I'm gonna go read Jurassic Park.

You already have by the genius members at blabbermouth.net
Edit: I hate how people take a strong opinion on the person they think is at fault, when they don't even know the beginning of what is going on between the band. Blabbermouth users are teenage losers, so their opinions don't matter anyways.

Fuck 'em, there are plenty of fans that have got your back. Be an asshole, it's the music business, you're allowed, haha. As long as you aren't an asshole to your fans (which I have NEVER seen any evidence of, from either meeting you several times myself or hearing from other people), it's all good. On a separate note, how's Jimbo doing? No update in a while, but based on the work on the new album, and Progpower still being on, I would assume he's recovering fine.

Do it.
Jim is cool.
Fuck Jeff Loomis (I'd like to put my hands on the little prick myself), and fuck Van.
YOU are the soul of this band, Warrel. Nevermore is YOU. Go ahead and say it.
