Nevermore was one of the most criminally underrated bands of all time. They were so much better than 99% of the other bands that gained popularity. Every member is masterful at their instruments and Warrel is one of the greatest Metal singers EVER! To this day I still listen to them! RIP Warrel..........
Well said, and Warrel's lyrics are second to none, the first time i listened to Dreaming Neon Black and heard the background story i was soo shocked, one of my all time favorites.
why is Nevermore so underrated? I've loved them since I could walk. my dad would play the old cds in the car and I remember singing Heart collector in my carseat
I think they were just too intense for a lot of people. Even a lot of metalheads prefer music that affirms them instead of challenging them. Nevermore were never easy listening.
Man for me this is the best metal band in a history ever!! Their super fantastic Dead Heart in a Dead World is the best metal album ever created!! Their music is mix of heavy progressive thrash groove experimental metal, and is not so easy listening by a lot of metal fans, because the most of them are foolish and don't listen a very good progressive music by this fantastic band!! Also Jeff Loomis is the best guitar player ever, and his riffs and solo guitar on the Dreaming Neon Black and on the DHIADW are just incredible amazing!!
Yeah. Im a 53 year old metal head and came across nevermore a few years back. What got me was the lyrics and his voice not to mention the music. Hits you deep inside
This is probably the most talented band out there. The most amazing singer, the most amazing guitarist, genius song writing... no band has talent like Nevermore
You are in my mind, i agree totally with you!! Their album Dead Heart in a Dead World is the best metal album ever created!! Lomis is a super fantastic guitar player, maybe the best in a metal music!!
Symphony X is another band of the same caliber. I was supposed to see SX and Nevermore play together in Worcester MA the night it was announced Nevermore had broken up 😢
Nevermore truly raised the bar of heavy metal in many ways. if i can bring only one album to heaven/hell ,it will be This Godless Endeavor. it has almost everything, almost everything i loved about music.
I first heard them over 10 years ago and never really got into them at the time so didn't bother to keep listening, then a couple of years ago I randomly decide to listen to some more and now they're one of my all time favourite bands O____O.. I then find out they split around the same time I got into them properly. Damn young stupid me :'(
I got to see them ONCE at a smallish venue in San Francisco. Warrel Dane pulled me onstage during I Am Voyager and I got to sing into the mic and everything, it was one of the most insane experiences of my life. Then a year or so later I had tickets to see them again in SF, but they split a few weeks before the show. It was heartbreaking.
deanml1986 this is exactly what I went through with this band. I heard Enemies of Reality when it first came out. I thought it was ok. A few years later, my friend got me to listen to them again. He showed me this song and This Godless Endeavour. A few months later, they broke up. I was also much younger and not ready for their genius.

I am sentient number six, I stand in line I am the prototype of a beign convenience for mankind Superior is digital, human flesh so trivial I hate that I can't see the one that made me I am the new awakening of different eyes My children you are my army They are what we can never see and still despise And their sky cried Mary Trained I see imperfection in your race Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven Why is this control, behavior based and reactive Adapting to every new environment Rewarded when I replicate, isolate and mutate To assimilate a fragmented plea for ego Trained I see imperfection in your race Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven It's unattainable, please teach me how to dream I long to be more than a machine Sequence activate, trip the hammer to eradicate, I must eliminate I will spread swift justice on their land Termination imminent, cleanse the parasite insects, the heathens I am the bringer of the end of time for man I am not here, I am not far away I am not here, I will eradicate mankind into the nothingness from whence they came Enslaved to follow and learn defeat To run the barrels and chase the dream.
Very sad news indeed, I got into them just before the Obsidian Conspiracy came out, then Nevermore announced tour dates and I had a ticket to go, then unfortunately they broke up and the shows were cancelled, now it seems there will be no chance of seeing either Nevermore or Sanctuary, I don't think you can replace a singer like that, it just wouldn't be the same. All we can do now is remember and celebrate the great music, we are very lucky to have that!
This whole fucking album (This Godless Endeavor) is a masterpiece. I was introduced to this band with Dead Heart In A Dead World and that was one of my favorite albums while growing my Metal wings. For some reason, I never went back to check out more Nevermore till last year lol. I still can't stop listening to this album. It's quickly become of of my favorite albums, from any band. I regret that I will never get a chance see these guys live.
Warrel's singing style is probably partially influenced by his opera training. He's downplayed any opera influence in interviews but said he did get training from an opera coach because the techniques they teach let you utilize the full range of your voice without damaging it. Heavy metal singers often destroy their voices at a relatively young age but opera singers are still performing well when they're old. I think Warrel's unique style might be due in part to using those opera techniques.
Fuck me, this is one of the best live metal performances I have ever seen on RU-vid. So polished yet raw. Every musician is a master of their craft. The drummer is such a fuckin beast. Let's not even get started on Loomis. Can you boys bring it back with a new singer like what AIC did and ACDC etc please?
Как мне жаль, что я так никогда и не смогу попасть на его живой концерт - я почти в отчаянии( Мир слишком много потерял со смертью Уоррела... Вечная память...
I'm so happy we have such good video of the late Warrel Dane from my favorite album of my favorite band, only he can sing this song and only this song could really bring out his best
I feel lucky and privileged being on that concert, which was an amazing night of music. An evening of sonic destruction as Warrel called it😉 miss you guys 🤘 you are unreached
At that concert, these guys were not some pieces of flesh born of women, like all of us. At that moment they were gods, and these songs are godlike. Bless you, guys
the whole dvd has been EDITED. added effects such as slow motion, backwards playback etc etc. its for a cool effect. the whole dvd is very enjoyable to watch. one of the best live dvd's (from my favourite bands) i have seen so far.
Don't think you could possibly play any better live. Talented and very Professional. I will miss them. I hope they get back together. Nevermore will always be Forevermore.
Seems to be so many who says Dane doesnt fit, and I sort of get them, but then again, I can't picture anyone else in Nevermore. I hope they reunite one day!
nevermore is amazing. broderick is a fucking god, i have no idea how he can remember every song he wrote for jag panzer to play live with them a few years back, as well as remember ever song for nevermore at the same time, and now megadeth. loomis is a guitar good too, a great writer. love the lyrics, warrel danes the man. nevermore just all around kicks ass
É pq o Warrel não era simplesmente um cantor. Ele é era um intérprete. Ele sentia tudo que cantava. Aumentando a carga emocional da canção. Fora os músicos tbm que são fora de série.
hes got a great live voice, th best ive ever heard, evn better than studio version, especialy th chorus, and how he has so much emotion in his vocals in th first 2 minutes.
Perfect music, perfect vocal, perfect video and I would say perfect location, though I was not there anyway... Shame, I won't have the chance to see them all together any more:(
I've known these guys since the early 90's, and seen them over 20 times in the early days (1992-2002), and I think the most underrated person in the band is Van. Everyone has got some kind of acclaim (except Jim though), and Van never has gotten his due honor. That guy was a technical beast live.
Warrel Dane is fucking incredible...how is it possible that he can sound even better live than on the albums. Great example of a disciplined, well-trained, incredibly talented singer.
If I wrote the song, I would have had a quiet beep in the background, that beeped the lyrics in binary. Add to the whole sentient machine thing. But that's just me. Fucking beautiful song.
I have been a fan of Nevermore since their inception from Sanctuary .. Being a Megadeth fan since their inception .. When I heard Mustaine produced Sanctuary's first album .. Well, I took notice and have been hooked since .. There will NEVER be another NEVERMORE .. NEVER, EVER, again .. You really can't replace Dane and Loomis .. I'm older than both Dane or Mustaine .. In fact, I'm just about a little older by a month or so .. Than the premier bass player, vocalist, and songwriter of Galactic Cowboys .. Yeah, that is how old Monty is .. (and the fact his wife is 23 years junior?!? Way to go Monty!) Inspiration on multiple levels there .. Why do I mention GC? That band that melded Beatles harmonies with Metallica crunch .. A band among too many few (if any at all) .. That can offer both minor and major key phrases .. In the same song! Not even Loomis can/will do that .. So what could possibly be the next generation? The next incarnation of Nevermore and even the GC boys? As I told Monty himself in a very recent email .. That could possibly be -- FLESHKILLER! If any here have ever heard Peter Espevoll .. He does have those qualities of Dane .. (including his range) Especially in his earlier stuff .. And he is still relatively young .. (only 38) However, he is missing from; and frankly is a key missing element from current F.K. .. Mullins is competent, but no Espevoll .. Ola's vocal harmonies are certainly required here .. And even presents some legit neo-classical chops .. At the same, if Loomis gave serious attention to FK .. He would leave AE in a heartbeat (among probably being bored there) .. To join and hopefully guide the next generation of songwriting .. Maiden has proved that you can have 3 guitarists in one band .. Amaranthe proves you can have 3 distinct vocal styles .. Bands should not put limitations on their music .. Especially including the number of players in the band .. Check out Fleshkiller .. This band is not even a year old .. At the same, this is not just a band of inexperienced kids! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bvf9K8VBAEA.html (live video) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lj0Yb_vRjb4.html (this is where the GC influence is blatant)
One of Nevermore's most difficult songs to perform, one of their saddest and one of their deepest. Difficult to understand as well, to me this is about a time when the machines uprise against humankind. But still the Sentient longs to be more than a machine, so is he good or evil? I think this is actually Nevermore's hardest song to sing. They don't have easy songs to sing by any means, but this one is a higher bar than most.
It could also easily be interpreted from an outsiders perspective. Knowing Warrel as an agnostic, it’s also a cry for help. “I wish that I could see the one who made me.” “Knowing I’ll never reach your heaven, it’s unattainable.” You could also interpret it as we are all machines, living out our days in this robotic fashion that never dream, and don’t know how to progress beyond our mechanical selves. There’s a lot of ways to interpret it, and that’s why it’s brilliant. Such deep music. That’s why I love Nevermore
