I think reactivation of Nevermore has more to do with finally enough time having passed where the brand can command a decently high price again than whatever epiphany Loomis had. I think he knew exactly what he was signing up for when he accepted the Arch Enemy gig.
As for Nevermore, remember that Warrel played with a bunch of random dudes from south america and performed the material, and it wasn't exactly expensive either. It's all just good timing is what it is.

Can Nevermore attract more $$$ than Arch Enemy? Doubtful, even without Alissa. He must have some really big names locked in for the line up that will raise the profile of the brand.

Oh, I know that he knew what he was signing up for. I just can't imagine having him at your disposal and not utilizing him better. I think for Jeff, it was a better pay day than his solo stuff. Its not like it made him rich, sure, but it kept him on the road.

He'll make some money in Nevermore, but they were never a big band. He'll do well in Europe for sure. He gave an interview the other day and said they'll be announcing who the new members are around March next year, but he did say that the vocalist is male and sounds a lot like Warrel Dane, and that "all the new musicians" in the band are really good players. I assume we're talking about a vocalist, bassist and second guitarist. He also confirmed that he's writing a new Nevermore album and that its very heavy. As a Nevermore fan, obviously I wish Warrel was still alive to do this, but I'm in the camp that Jeff was also a huge part of the band and I don't think it's fair to criticize him for reactivating it. He was such a huge part of the sound and songwriting that Warrel refused to do a Nevermore reunion without him.
