haha no because you will be like stop asking questions I don't know the answer to

 

[Keith!]

Riiiiggghhttt.

What do people think of their "cover" of sounds of silence?

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

nah but seriously the reason why I ask is because I was talking to Shane about who he reckons is better on Sat and he said Alexi and I was like naahhhh

 

[Keith!]

He cant have said that? If by better you mean technical ability, which is generally what people mean when they say better, then Loomis hands down. Its personal preference who you like more.

I'm listening to Dead Heart in a Dead World now. I can hear alot of Shane in Loomis' soloing, his phrasing especially and alot of his licks sound similer to Shane. Loomis is just tighter and has better tone control and has more feel, but shane would be faster.

Shane is faster than most people, its the other aspects of his playing he needs to work on. Dead heart in a dead world was the 1st Nevermore I got.

why are people even debating whether or not loomis is better than laiho? this is a joke.

 

[Keith!]

Yeah for sure, I think I have to redo most of his solo's for their ep, he just plays to fast, it doesnt sound nice on most of them.

yea the ones you showed me sounded like shit tbqh iirc

I find arguments over who is a better guitar player like I see arguments over who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman, it's silly. Could it possibly be that Loomis is a great guitar player and so are a bunch of other people? I love Nevermore, so I like to hear Loomis play. If you don't like Nevermore, fine, just don't get into a childish argument over guitar wanking.

And using a 7-string guitar is common in bands that have "tight sounding" riffs, but are actually very simple to play power chords etc... So basically it adds to the quality of the riffs but does not make someone a better guitar player.

but it makes them a bad guitar player????

umm. superman is nearly invicible due to his super powers. he is the strongest, fastest man in the universe and can fly. batman's super power is just extraordinary wealth.


i.e. jeff loomis is the metal guitar equivilent to superman iirc

 

[Kenneth R.]

why are they overrated? nobody even cared much about them until this last year or so.

fair enough. Overhyped then.

 

[Keith!]

fair enough. Overhyped then.

Perhaps neither?

 

[NFU]

fair enough. Overhyped then.

umm, no.

riverside is overhyped. nevermore is just well loved.

this discussion is awesome. glad to learn things about guitar here too, i guess i am going to get a 7-string now in order to sound better.
i dont know but i have the impression that loomis is a complete metal guitarist ... there is basically nothing metal he cant play. of course this doesnt mean that he is able to play classical guitar (i just dont know if he does). why do ppl think he is all wankage too? i mean did you listen to the songs? like 3 out of 4 have shred parts but at least he is able to come up with great melodies too unlike some others (laiho rofl, amott lol) ...
