    As the wild Loomis shreds away on his Schecter, the hair becomes naturally drawn to the magnetic forces provided by the sheer amount of metal being produced. \m/

    I shook hand with Jeff, twice, and I have his signature on one of my Schecter guitars. Why isn't any of his magical guitar power at all getting transferred onto my hands?

    The two rhythm backing tracks beginning at 2:23 and 3:18 are just outstanding songwriting sooo celestial. I mean, people forget that as good a shredder as Jeff is, his rhythm riffage is as good if not better! Outstanding!
