Loomis and Broderick - "Chris and Jeff Jerk Off" from Jaxx last night...

[eaeolian]

This is ridiculous.

 

[Drew]

Damn, lol.

I know EMG's get a bit of a bad rap, but I definitely prefer Loomis' tone to Broderick's here. I'm not sure how much of that is due to the relative placement of the camera's mic relative to each of their cabs, but Loomis has a bit more upper mids in there and it seems to cut much better.

Oh, and those two can absolutely BURN.

 

[Shaman]

Goddamn, that was INSANE

Even the shredding smiley isn't as fast as those guys

 

[D-EJ915]

That was insane, lol.

 

[Shawn]

That was awesome, those guys can shred, thanks for posting the vid.

It was the camera being off-axis - Steph was sitting right in front of Jeff's amp. Chris' tone was actually better than Jeff's, IMO - he cut, but was nice and fat, too.

Hmm. Clearly I need to shut up, buy a Hellraiser, and do some comparison of my own.

(I will say that, after giving Chris's Hellraiser a run through my Nomad, mahogany still isn't really my thing, but the maple-topped C7 with an extended scale, fixed bridge, and EMG's do the "mahogany" sound much better than anything else I've played to this point in my playing career, and while it's tough to say through all that gain, I like many of the same things about Loomis' tone that I did about the Hellraiser - good mid-to-upper mids coupled with enough brightness to preserve clarity)

Anyway, thanks tremendously for getting that on film and linking it up here.

I nearly came when I saw that...

Noodles, eaeolian and I were all at that show last night. I think you'd have to say that Chris Broderick is doing a pretty good job in Nevermore...

Jeff's Schecter definitely 'cut through' a little better than Chris's RG1527, though.

 

[Kotex]

Holy shit. Man those dudes are hella good .Now I gotta go practice.

 

[D-EJ915]

1527 7 string guitars with Bare Knuckle pickups in the bridge and neck position. I prefer those pickups because the custom is loud and has more note projection than any other pickup I've heard.

I just finished tabbing it a few minutes ago.


Looks like Chris goes sans lock nuts, with locking tuners, on his floyd. IIRC, he only used it for vibrato last night anyway.

 

[Drew]

Oh, Chris is in Nevermore now? I figured he was there with Evergrey. What happened to Steve Smyth?

Steve Smyth sick

 

[String Seraphim]

I believe kidney failure if I'm remembering right. Chris is filling in for him.

 

[Drew]

Damn... That sucks. :/

Oh, and I merged the two threads about this video.

Uh huh. What did you do, email Chris for it?

Yeah, he doesn't really use it for extreme stuff, and his others are 7321s.

Some extremly good and anti-aliased super-slo-mo video

 

[The Dark Wolf]

That was truly incredible.

Jeff = speed king. Nice phrasing.

Chris - fucking sweep master, gawdamn.

Those guys are the shit, and compliment each other very well in this vid. I'm fuckin' jealous. I would have loved to have been there.

Great post, Mike.
