What if the next Nevermore cd had 3 guitar solos total.

[CF87]

Would you still enjoy the band ?

 

[dafb]

hell NO

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I would enjoy them a little because I'm sure the riffs and singing would still own but no solos would be a major regression.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Admittedly, I would enjoy them less.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Of course...


I love the guitar solos, don't get me wrong,
but they'll still have the amazing bass lines, drums, and above all...
killer lyrics.

so yes.

 

[Sanctums]

Pfffft....Jeff loomis blows anyway.

 

[VickyH]

i guess i would only NOT enjoy them anymore ... if they`re goin to do some ... nu.metal stuff or something :| but as this will NEVER EVER happen ... for sure but what would jeff do on stage then???! :|

 

[Metal Fo' Life]

Alls I know is if its still METAL then I will like the shit out of it!!!

 

[Will Bozarth]

as long as Warrel doesnt go 'core, i would still enjoy.... but, i'd have to yell at Jeff and Steve

 

[Reminiscence]

I don't care about the solos. They are cool and fitting and impressive in Nevermore's songs, but they don't make or break the band for me.

 

[Black Tears]

What if the next album is called "Midnight Trolls Atop The Icy Fjords Enacting a Gauntlet of Blasphemous Fury"

Would you still enjoy it then?

 

[unknown]

^^ I might enjoy it even more if that were the case

 

[Will Bozarth]

yep, cause that would rule

 

[alphacorvus]

No one seemed to mention the possibility of the next album having 3 super-long metal opuses, so yeah..I'd probably like it still.

 

[Metal Fo' Life]

tHat would rule!! Alphacorus!!!

 

[Mike]

loomis isn't joining metaliica, therefor he will play solo's.

and even if he didnt... i like them for alot more than just the guitar work. Van kicks ass, Warrel sings like none other... so yeah.. I'd still listen

 

['Nife [Spirit Crusher]]

Loomis is one of my all time biggest influences.. It's not just his solos but his writing style that blows my mind, Not to mention Warrel's mind blowing singing, Van's amazing drumming, Jim's tight, kickass bassplaying and now of couse, Symth's killer axe work. If there weren't solos, that'd just mean that song doesn't need a solo, so yes.. I'd still enjoy it.

 

[Brett]

Absolutely. I don't love them for guitar solos. For the most part, I think they're overrated.

I feel a lot of metal bands these days throw them in there just to be throwing them in there.

A lot of my favorite guitar solos are some of the easiest stuff compared to most underground stuff. The solo by Phil Demmel on Machine Head's "In The Presence of My Enemies" at around the 4:05 mark doesn't shred, but it fits the song extremely well while adding another layer of atmosphere. Same with Fear Factory's "New Promise" at around the 3:11 mark. Extremely simple yet very good.

Although my absolute favorite solo is Jeff's solo on River Dragon. That's just plain badass.

You all can vote me off the board now.

 

[Lordlucid]

And those three solos, Would rock everybodies anuses.

 

[Reminiscence]

Indeed, my favorite solos are slow and really aren't too hard to play.

1) Pain of Salvation- People Passing By ending solo.

2) Green Carnation- Light of Day, Day of Darkness solo, around 41 minutes.
