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

[the phish]

i dont think its possible for jeff not to play a solo. Hes just too awsome.

 

[derek]

I love solo's, that insane aspect of egotism is inherent in all rock and roll. Jeff's solo's always fit the music, and they never feel contrived.

I'd still like the band a tonne, but Jeff's solo's get me so fired up at times, I'd definately miss that aspect.

 

[Necromunchkin]

I would definitely miss them. I recall hearing the solo on "Seven Tongues of God" for the first time about ten years ago and thinking how Jeff put so many guitarists to shame.

 

[Black Tears]

Thats because he uses some kind of weird scale that lacks definition (major, minor) in a lot of his solos.

 

[Matt Lee]

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

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

Songs that start with slap guitar rule. "Daybreak!"

 

[Captain Beard]

probably

 

[Bacchante]

Eh...It wouldn't kill me..
I'm sure the Loomis would be a sad panda, though

 

[Lordlucid]

Yes, yes im sure he would.

 

[TwistedSister]

Solos are not the most important for me. It´s the mix of everything that makes the music so great, I don´t dissect the songs from a technical point of view, I listen to Nevermore with a lot of emotion/feeling so yes, of course I´d still like them

 

[Rich - Rannoch]

Thats because he uses some kind of weird scale that lacks definition (major, minor) in a lot of his solos.

The Z flat harmonic minor 666th diminished scale perchance????!!!???

 

[schenkadere]

Would you still enjoy the band ?

It would suck unless they were the 3 greatest guitar solos to ever grace the cosmos...Loomis is good, but he's not THAT good.

That's what I love about Enemies...it's a shredfest, and he has some of his more melodic solos as well. It's my personal favorite because it features the guitar. Hey, come on...guitar solo=metal...that's just the way it is and always has been and the way it should remain...amen.

 

[Reminiscence]

Too bad I'll never see Kristopher play that song live.

 

[Mitton]

Im sure I would still enjoy the music. It would get a bit boring without that burst of refreshment that solos bring in the midst of a song but none the less I would still listen to the music.

 

[Will Bozarth]

also, if Nevermore had 3 guitar solos, it would be better than the ONE guitar solo that Zakk Wylde uses.

Great point!

 

[Mitton]

Is that just because you saw Zakk Wylde in my Avatar Will

 

[Mike]

I think my favorite loomis solos are Engines of Hate and The River Dragon. And my favorite Nevermore solo is the little dual solo action in Psalm of Lydia.

 

[Will Bozarth]

Is that just because you saw Zakk Wylde in my Avatar Will

no, it's because Zakk Wylde can only play ONE guitar solo

 

[Mitton]

Very True at least loomis can structure solos without having to use the pentatonic scale.
But Ozzys No more tears was a great Album hence the Avatar.

And that just goes to show you that a great album isn't simply about the guitar solo.
