message: With all respect to Jeff Loomis, isn't the article a bit biased? I mean, he's an amazing guitar player (I love his work on the latest Nevermore record), but "guitar hero"? Especially when he's "underrated"? // Gargaj 14:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, I also think some sentences are not very well written, so I' ve been trying to make the text more serious, perhaps other people can step in with new ideas for this too. Rbarreira 15:24, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: Hi. Added infobox, not so sure about the genres though, especially death and power metal, but Nevermore is a bit of everything i guess! If anyone disagrees, you know what to do. Also added a discography section. As I don't know anything about his solo career (is there any solo albums?) so I just added the Neverore releases. Grinder0-0 19:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Added infobox..

message: cited an interview with jeff from 2003, he mentions being too young/not ready for megadeth, being self taught and being with sanctuary for approximately four months, among other things.Devilxhlywood 00:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  sanctuary time and other things 

message: Keep mind the following is just my opinion. feel free to ignore it if it's not helpful.
The lead paragraph could be more focused on what makes Loomis an important figure in his genre. The info about who his influences were might fit better in the "early days" section.
In the "early days" section a bit more info about his Wisconsin bands would be good. Of special interest might be what were the "more established" bands. The story about Friedman taking up the position with megadeth is of intrest but the wording is a bit unclear.
Overall the article has lots of good info. To me it is fairly even handed and not heavily POV. The biggest problem with it is it needs a serious edit for clarity and directness of language. I'll try to do a little of that now.

replies: text: No it's very helpful, thanks a lot for the input! I'll try gather some more info/refs to get more depth to the bio part. But what do you think about the equipment section? I think I cut it down to just a couple of sentences awhile back, but there's a lot of unregistered users [IP's] who keeps adding info (usually unsourced) to this so now it's like the 2nd biggest section.

thread_title: Some Sugestions

message: Jeff had seven custom built Axtra guitars (personal communication), each having slightly different features. They were used live mainly up to the Politics of Ecstacy tour, and hereafter one having an Into the Mirror Black (Sanctuary) cover paintjob - featuring an image of Timothy Leary - was used for playing the Dreaming Neon Black song as of the DHIADW tour. He did however use several Axtras on later recordings as well. For the DNB tour, he mainly used a black Jackson RR1. He used Seymour Duncan Distortion pick-ups on the first Nevermore album, but then switched to SD Livewire pick-ups. I think he started using EMG pick-ups on DNB Furor1 (talk) 07:42, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
