ARCH ENEMY Guitarist JEFF LOOMIS On NEVERMORE - "Hopefully One Of These Days We Will Be Able To Sit Down And Talk Out Some Of Our Differences"
September 19, 2017, 7 years ago
Arch Enemy guitarist Jeff Loomis recently spoke with Ultimate Guitar about the break-up of his former band, Nevermore, and the possibility of a reunion. Following is an excerpt from the conversation.
Loomis: "I only have good things to say about everybody in the band and Van Williams (drums) is one of my best friends. I still talk to Warrel (Dane/ vocals) sometimes. He's now doing Sanctuary again which is awesome.
It was a really good 18 years that we had - an amazing run. Unfortunately things ended in a really bad, sour way. There was a lot of drinking going on in the band and I think that was the final nail in the coffin as to why the band actually broke up. It wasn't a very good breakup at all. It was very difficult. When you spend 18 years together with a bunch of dudes, it's kind of alike a marriage in a way, when something like that breaks up, it's heartbreaking. It was a real bummer.
Maybe one day, I would really like to be able to talk to Warrel again face to face and sit down and talk through all of our problems that we had and stuff like that. Time is a healer and life is short. So hopefully one of these days we will be able to sit down and talk out some of our differences, just as friends, even. That would be great."
