[Shredin0id]

[UglyScukuggly]

Sick cover brethren! ...I started cracking up at your annotations during the Jeff looms part. Good stuff. Jeff loomis is a monster.

[insudm]

the pups are BKP Aftermath? Very nice track btw!

[jangel214]

Whats your tuning?....



[killthebetrayer]

@jangel214 See the description box

[wackyoneone]

dude this fuckin rules

[FlipFF]

Solo by Jeff Loomis.... I can't play it.... Owned..... Don't feel bad regular people can't play that remember.

[Jakster840]

That is a pretty cool guitar.

[SynysterSte]

Fuck.. both my testicles exploded

[ToXin88]

what an awesome riff 0:44

[moof99]

awesome sound you got going there

[mrbiteme1991]

dude wot gauge were u usin and btw the woz pretty sick

[ToneArnold]

0:45-1:06 inspires me to pick up a guitar and play. This is inspirational stuff, man. All hail Keith FUCKING Merrow!!!!!

[MrGuitarTormentor]

I NEED A 7 STRING GUITAR DAMN \m/

[givemeajackson]

7string opeth. nice!

[SegataSanshiroRule]

OMG 0_o god this so was awesome, thanks for sharing!

[Gary4824]

I see those BKPs

[guitarshredking]

Holy crap I go that shivers up the neck feeling when listening to this

[gnsumas]

Did both you and Jeff record with the Axe Standard?

[jwspitz35]

Sick man

[AkiraSpectrum]

cool song, love the view of your playing at the end. aweomse that mr. loomis played a part in this song. great job all around!

[freddyg832002]

Love the new songs sounds great.

[mikepshena]

Dude, how old are you? I just want to know so I can make sure to be this good at your age lol

[tauntauntots]

@mikepshena *FACE PALM don't worry about how good you will be, that is very selfish, music is all about contributing to the society that is part of itself. Just think about creating music and enjoying it, if all you think about is how good you'll be at a certain age instead of music what would be the point of playing a musical instrument?

[wstone2010]

you are god.

jeff is slightly more godly.

its business. you understand.

much love <3

[MrGuitarTormentor]

I FUCKING LOVE YOU \m/

[FirePower3006]

What pickups you got in there? Look like bare knuckles but which ones?

[Crispyfresh77]

Both solo sections and outro are tooooooooo goood <3

[TheConnord12]

so you and jeff live close to eachother i assume? lucky!

[LeapingDodo]

Fuck that superskill solo, that riff after it is actually cooler in my opinion. Despite it being a bit easyer.

[rojo261194]

Sounds Like Periphery!!!



[XSVmetalband]

Jeff Loomis wud be proud :)

[TheOneMcGio]

Really cool use of the tritones in the intro/main riff.

Could tell you definitely have some Iommi meets Opeth vibes going on here.

Good Stuff dude

[DarkKnight896]

Dude you create some absolutely killer riffs and music, the Jeff Loomis solo was just icing on the cake!

[ThraserTillDeath]

last riff is one of the best i've heard for years

[Crazytjeuh]

favorite song of the album!

[runingwolflexan]

Just wondering, bcuz commenting how cool your music is pointless i already understand that :), i am wondering, does your album ''Awaken the Stone King'' has some story, or is it just random name? Sounds like some epic tale :)

[Spieleschummler]

wait what? Jeff Loomis made your outro solo?!

[machinemelt]

if you make tabs of this ill give you a million dollars

[TelicDrummer]

3:25 I could eat that shit all day

[ItzR3zR4pt0r]

this is awesome

[NpGibson]

I feel like the biggest part of making a song great is being able to feel the emotion when you're listening and you can feel it so much in Jeff Loomis' solo. its like you can feel every emotion in his phrasing and his bends especially at 3:07 its like he's crying out through his guitar, its seriously amazing

[EmbeddedIntoYou]

I must know who thinks up these tasty beats.

[james163163]

@EmbeddedIntoYou i believe he programs them

[1zn0g00d]

Amazing played, you got yourself a subscriber!

[musicman972]

Now that's how to spank the wire and the wood!!!!

[NorielWong1994]

You are godly, Mr. Merrow. Btw, I'm doing one of your pieces for my school performance this year :)

[lpkazc]

Was worth it for the last part alone

[METAL713666]

@diobolic5150 so by Drop Bb you mean Bb F Bb Eb G# C F ?

[UnderwhelmingPlywood]

This really reminds me of Opeth.

[killyou45]

@UnderwhelmingPlywood I thought that exact same thing when I got to the clean section right before the Loomis solo.

[biskwikman]

You are a badass



[ArchReconOps]

all you need is vocals and a record deal dude.

[neilorourke71]

I spy an AxeFX :D

[cocoadog5]

I wish Jeff Loomis would play my outro solos:(

[Punisher9696]

1000th Like!

[YourFavoriteLesbo]

Keith, you're a truly great song writer. Out of all the shit I've heard of yours on youtube, not a single one was bad. You're a total inspiration to me and likely many others.

[wmc128]

the riff style reminds me of little bit of Clint Lowery from Sevendust,very awesome tunes!!!!

[xxcannibalxchristian]

what are you tuned to?

[MysticNetherlands]

Great music!!!!!!! I like the atmosphere you create in your compositions! Feel free to check out some of Mystic's atmospherical metal too, on my channel.

[NivoUF]

Jeff Loomis brought me here. And I am not disappointed.

[ZribTurd]

@Ragnarokchat Then do it :) Really man. And doesn't every guitarist move their fingers up and down. That's what I do, and I'm still incapable and playing at Keith Merrow's level...

[8lackened]

According to my personal taste, this solo is about as good as some of the legendary solos, like the solo in Stairway To Heaven and the solos in Holy Wars (the song, not the album).

[gianniswildchild]

Your brother recorded the drums?

[lukyganesh]

it looks like youre playing on bass strings 

[Deusex63]

tour dates plz!!!!!!!

[kGmusicpage]

The breakdown after the solo was sick as fuck man

[StylishStar88]

Out of curiosity, what gauge strings do you use?

[jabberwocky1969]

I suppose if you're going to get pwned then it might as well be by Jeff ;-) Looking forward to hooking up on Band Happy

[littledinger7798]

fuckin perfect!!!!!!

[morto22]

the man is sick... this man should be on a label

[zezimadude13]

1:21 into the song. Subscribed. Nuff said.

[vampslayerace]

Reminds me somewhat of Mastodon.

[brookstarkington]

I'm sure you've said it on here before, but are you going into anything besides the Axe FX?

[PieceOfMind56]

The main riff really reminds me of Opeth.

[dreamcanal]

@PieceOfMind56 Opening reminds me of Katatonia but once the song takes off .. watchout!

[TheElectricFred]

Is this in Drop A or Drop A#?

[sify11]

@TheElectricFred A#

[Drakal666]

I think this is the best song I've ever heard.

0:45 to 0:56 that riff is just so unique, the whole song is equally epic though

[dtma24]

beautiful guitar man, goes well with the playin!

[Guitar1sti]

this really reminds me of finnish band called diablo.

[tub3scr3am3r]

dude, we have the same keyboard. G15 ftw!!! XD

[Death66reaper6]

what string gauges do you use?

[MotionlessGhost886]

And Azshara awakened...

[death4deathcore]

keith you should do a track with Fredrick Thordendal from Meshuggah thad be a killer track since hes like one of the founders of modern math metal

[MercilessShred]

Okay, so I've only watched like 4 of your videos... but you write some of the tastiest riffs I've ever heard. I bow to thee, riff lord.

[YAGGAAA]

@MercilessShred this isnt written by him, its a playthrough of a jeff loomis song

[Thumpstarrr]

@YAGGAAA I'm pretty sure Keith wrote this song and Jeff did the solo.

[diobolic5150]

@YAGGAAA Actually, I wrote this song. Jeff plays the solo during the outro.

[YAGGAAA]

@diobolic5150 are you keith merrow ? mercy me :D i love this song!

[diobolic5150]

@YAGGAAA Well yeah, this is my YouTube channel :P Thanks! 

[Monty45ify]

beast

[EricAntonik]

Is that an AxeFX in your rack? Jesus.... how do people afford all this gear? That thing is $3k on it's own. Very envious.

Good tune though.

[DerCorny]

@EricAntonik

How about working, saving and not spending all the money on booze and xBox games? Don't want to be an ass, but it's always the same when youtube artists have great gear in their videos.

[iJantsa]

@DerCorny exactly, priorities are pretty much the most meaningful

[diobolic5150]

@DerCorny Pretty much this. 

[PrismaticDemi]

I love this shit so much, that i posted it on my facebook :) lol

[PrismaticDemi]

And Holy Shit this is some amazing guitar work. Great job, both of you!

[PrismaticDemi]

Those look like Bareknuckle pickups. Are they?

[diobolic5150]

@PrismaticDemi Bareknuckle Painkillers

[PrismaticDemi]

@diobolic5150 Nice :) and thanks for telling me.

[smsphl]

@diobolic5150 hey man, id like to know if there were any cd versions of your album available, if not ill just get it off itunes, just wanna make sure, and i mean awaken the stone king, and btw, i fucking love your songs. oh and please answer back, i need to know :(

[diobolic5150]

@smsphl Not currently available on CD. Thanks man!

[PrismaticDemi]

@diobolic5150 Thank You. Theres another Bareknuckle customer :)

[DisfunctionalRecords]

[roachfactory]

[GeorgecumAlot]

:O you 're kidding right? my jaw at the floor!Keith rules!Jeff rules!amazing riffs amazing solos!i m speechless now!

George CumAlot

[Kalohagneom]

The neighbours want to have a sound war do they...EAT THIS!

[MrGuitarTormentor]

3:25 epic monster riff man

[MrGuitarTormentor]

Awsome rithams and solo Keith and Jeff Loomis \m/



[mutilatedbabies]

keith merrow makes some of the most brutal fuckin riffs ever.

[AxisOfHumanity]

intro reminds me alot of opeth! cool as hell!

[madmagician07]

Im the most interesting man in the world. I don't always comment on videos; but when I do, I comment on Keith Merrows' videos.

[zahlenpilz]

What kind of pickups you use?

[juiceabuser]

How about Keith Merrow, Jeff Loomis, Tosin Abasi, and Misha Mansoor all on one track. One long epic track. Or are you saving this for 12/21/2012?

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

@juiceabuser Replace Loomis with Chimp Spanner

[Guitar1sti]

@juiceabuser and it really needs to be long, i could listen this already for years in a row... soon have being doing it one year btw

[kranskyman27]

@juiceabuser Mark Holcomb instead of Misha!

[jossrules123456789]

what drum program do you use ???

[flamencodiablo007]

Great work Keith! Cant wait to hear your work with Gord (I know him/live right by him, lol)

[gwadii]

It may be strange question but what EQ you use for that sweet sound ? i mean Treble Bass etc??

[jackfish1990]

@gwadii It takes far more than just fiddling around with equalisers to get a sound like that...

[gwadii]

@jackfish1990 Yes i know but if you have Base settings you can adjust it to find the sound you want to have, but it depends on what amp you have and dist/overdrive pedals etc

[TsReDLiNe]

oh yeah it is a Jekyll lol, it's in his description. Duh.

[Xxd3cayxX]

Man, so happy I found this guy. Freaking awesome guitarist. I usually listen to shredders like Gilbert or Becker, or Loomis. But this guy has such melody. Man, it's somewhat infused opeth-esque with 7string heaviness. Him and Loomis need to start a band!

[titoudu25]

Keith Merrow and Jeff Loomis are absolutely amazing !

[T4N0M4]

I like the way the pickups are placed, what guitar is this?

[TsReDLiNe]

@T4N0M4 It's a custom Bernie Rico Jr. guitar. Never tried one, but supposedly they really amazing guitars. Looks like a Jekyll.

[dizzle747]

I dont really ever comment on videos but this... this deserves a comment!

This is actually amazing!

[thiago88smart]

I like those rusty caps!

[cpamiseso]

Do you enjoy listening the band Korn?

[klavestorm11]

I need some tabs of this song to wack off to! Well....and to learn. You really should make abs for this one.. Its not as insanly hard as the others on this album

[hareljann1]

Very good playing Keith! I think that your new guitars future much more warmer tones then your Agiles. that is pretty cool for soloing. but for riffs that are much more gained and distorted I think that your Agiles sound more more pleasant.

[bzytak]

Can You imagine Kieth and Jeff playing in one band? Tkat would be sooo fuckin big!!!

[mustainerockz2323]

@bzytak fuck ya that would be amazing!!

[ashishashen]

Loomis is sick...

[Destroysall]

I think this song reminds me a lot of both Mastodon and Opeth, I like it! :D

[bwe13131]

@Destroysall

that's actually what i was thinking, the Opeth part anyway

[NecrovoidOfficial]

i'm about 45 seconds in and so far it's VERY blackwater park... i definitely approve

[bahamutod]

dude, the end is tough lol

[bahamutod]

love the tone

[RockinRussClinicVids]

Love This Song ! Very "Queensryche-ish" ! Keith is a Great Songwriter ! Not the "same ole' same ole'. He Blends & It Shows ! Thanks Kieth for "Being You" ! And Jeff, well thats Jeff ! Both are Wonderful breaths of fresh air !

Thanks Guys !

RussWork

[Orthinology]

3:06 - I've never been so pleased with a camera pointed at a man's groin in my life.

[Elcloudy]

Regular people can't play that.



[RealRock993]

u sir are chuck norris approved

[thisismy1strodeo]

Hey Keith, my 9 month old daughter loves your music. If we need something to keep her entertained while we wash the dishes or something we just put her in her chair in front of this and she just laughs and kicks her little legs. Like father like daughter!

[Hotdog40404040404]

@thisismy1strodeo that's fucking awesome

[TheJordanElder]

very impressive

[galatonim]

3:14 neither do us...

[tottesvedin]

ofc you can play the solo... if you think you can't.. you can't.. but if you think you can.. you can.. keep up the good work, bro! I love your riffs!!!!!!!

[jackfish1990]

Fucking lovely.

[schoolofshit]

awesome song man! post the tabs on your site if you can, i would like to play that.

keep on with that awesome stuff!

[rizla1951]

@CaptSandyVag

Careful what you wish cause if i pull it out i ll stick it up your ass. Also does redneck count for a person? Discuss. Why do i bother...

[donbehatin]

@rizla1951 Lol complaining about internet lingo on the internet. You've failed so hard, your great-great-grandmother is ashamed of you and everyone you know.

Just so you're aware, complaining about internet lingo on the internet is like saying "OMG MY CAR HAS TIRES I CAN'T STAND TIRES I'M GOING TO BURN IT TO THE GROUND"

It's here to stay. Don't like it? Save yourself some money and cancel your internet.

[rizla1951]

@diobolic5150

The song is nothing less than spectacular. The intro solo is magic. It's like something Malmsteen would have played if he wasn't afflicted by senility. But dude, what's with the youtube lingo, all this "owned" shit just degrades your work in my humble opinion. I have no clue how professional you intend to be, as i discovered you just days ago, but this "OUEMGI" crap just don't fit your very interesting music. Not trying to sound bitter, just my opinion. Keep up the awesome work.

[Dissimulatex]

@rizla1951 How dare he have some fun. Shame on him.

[MetalFerg]

@rizla1951 I hope to one day achieve the level of sophistication it requires to tell people how they should act and speak while knowing nothing about them other than how they play a musical instrument. Please, teach me your ways?

[MrGitarrmongo]

no, you can't play the solo by jeff loomis, but the riff you play afterwards totally makes up for it =)

[theflavasava2]

Support the comment beneath mine! :D

[rockster07]

Now get Tosin Abasi on a track. lol

[mortalfaitality]

@rockster07 sounds more like opeth

I think this, the arrival, and Malfunction are my 3 personal favorites by far, Atleast t
