THE...NEW....NEVERMORE...

saying Orphaned Land owns Nevermore is like saying Hoobastank owns Led Zeppelin...retarded. People are really idiots for saying a band sucks because of the vocals alone. Jeff Loomis' songwriting, riffs, solos, feel EVERYTHING owns what unoriginal, uninspired noise Orphaned Land has to offer. Disillusion sucks too, and so does Isis...christ people get into real bands.
 
The music of Nevermore is at least mediocre+ but the melodramatic vocals just aren't "doing it" for me.

The first riff of Medicated Nation is quite similar to some Zyklon song... Storm Detonation maybe?
 
That's the thing about Nevermore I don't think you're getting, Trey. Their riffs aren't needlessly convoluted, as is generally true for their music in its entirety. It took me a while to get my head around that, but once it sinks in, you appreciate them for what they actually are.

Looking For A Job's female? I'd have never guessed that from her posting style.

I just assume everyones male unless they have something on their screen name which indicates that they're female such as "girl".
 
Looking for a Job is obviously trolling this thread; why are people even responding? "It sucks" is about as valid an argument as "omgz dis r00lz liek harrrdxc0re"
 
I was talking to Andy Sneap in the crobar in london a couple of weeks ago.

He said the Loomis was by far the most astonishing guitar player he had ever seen / or worked with.

To say that he sucks or is useless, just shows you know nothing about the art of playing the guitar.

loomis is a cock. his riffing is an uninspired as any other shit metal band out there. his solos, while better than most, are still shredding solos, and shredding solos suck, so his solos suck, and he sucks, and as a result, you suck

Blasphemy saying shred sucks. Shame on you for being a so called metaller and not liking shred. :wave:

i never cared for that "what they are" comment about any band. like i remember some metallica fan telling me how great st. anger is, and he said something like "it's good for what it is." well wtf does that mean? if it sucks it sucks, and nevermore sucks

Agree with that post though, apart from the Nevermore sucks part naturally.

Touche'. I hope that post knocks some sense4 into some of these people here. I don't think he is by far the best guitarist I have heard but he is a great musician and can definately handle his own on the guitar make no mistake.

Hearing that from someone who's worked with Mike Amott etc. is no small thing.


Except Mike Amott sounds more and more like Kirk Hamster circa 1989 with every solo. Chris A. is better

Jeff Loomis however is amazing. He's amazing live, spot on. And his solos on record are improvised! and he learns them afterward for the tours! :OMG:
