Keith Merrow- Pillars of Creation song clip

[Kr1z4L1cl]

what guitar is this?

[asaph123]

He's knees plays the cymbals while playing the guitar...

[FuzzJunker]

This is fuckin' great.

[givemeajackson]

agile seems to be awesome in terms of value/price. too bad the shipping costs sooooo fcking much when you live in switzerland...

[Beer666FTW]

Dude, this fucking groves!

I love it! Keep up the good work!

[noe153]

He was flipping us off the whole time...

[Nino7208]

nice Cryptopsy shirt!

[MrOkta007]

awesome... man...

[counterrage]

WOOOOOOW!

[TheFreakinGuitarist]

@Diobolic5150, you think you could hook us up with a backing track of just drums? I have the song learned, but It's transposed onto a Six string in Drop C#.

[herrb89]

@TheFreakinGuitarist do you have tabs? i only have a six string too.

[EmbeddedIntoYou]

Ten dislikes in three years?

[pucperera]

wonderfulll



[drizzt396]

Is this song inspired by the eponymous Terry Goodkind novel?

[MrDunsparce]

The key change and styles in the little interlude (i guess it could be called that) at around 00:54 reminded me of some nevermore... just sayin'

[GrimAffliction17]

That tone is fantastic! Anyone have any clue what amp/effects etc he is using in this recording?

[fender132435]

@GrimAffliction17 x3 live from what i can tell

[bajramovic92]

This is so metal, it's almost unfair.

[bajramovic92]

@bajramovic92

On another note, to be honest, I like the tone of this version much more than the album version.

[wolffrankenstein]

I wish I had a 7 string ;_;

[Autopsium]

10 dislikes??... I'm really sorry for those...

[qwanom]

@Autopsium those who don't understand or don't like this great music are fools!

[Autopsium]

@qwanom

absolutely! :)

[Garband]

That awkward, sad feeling when you realize a song you wrote is based off of someone else's riff. :[

Love da Keeeeeith

[strainjar]

sick man that sounds so awesome

[Metallishred612]

this is batshit crazy!

[TheElectricFred]

I absolutely love the tone in this video. I just got my first 7 string yesterday and i have a pair of pickups for it (long story) so question, Do you think (or have any experience/input) a set of Seymour Duncan Invader 7's would sound good, or would you reccomend something else? (Bareknuckle pickups aside because i already know i want those :D ) Any input would be appreciated

[Akukumar420]

WTF!! r u a musical Cyborg??

[crazyfaceperson]

From now on I am going to listen to your music while I read The Sword Of Truth. It fits perfectly! This song was inspired by The Sword Of Truth, yes?

[Dark0men]

@crazyfaceperson I was wondering the same thing. Can't just be coincidence.

[stefmire]

this is truly amazing

[Fuzorz]

love the main riff, it's an instant classic

[Ekofu]

How have I never heard of you before?

[Nilephan666]

Is that an Agile Interceptor Pro 727?

[fatflag123]

@Nilephan666 yes, beautiful isnt it?

[Nilephan666]

@fatflag123 Yes, so beautiful that I almost bought one. But then my friend sold me an Ibanez S7420 with Dimarzio D-activator passives for $500... I would have to be either dead or a vegetable to deny that offer.

[JoeSatrianiFan100]

@Nilephan666 The S7420 is an awesome guitar. Simply put.I love mine.

[musicguitarlessons]

When he gets famous he should get sponsored by agile guitars

[eljefe209music]

Every time i hear the riff at :20 i feel like punching things.

[mido1ist]

0:20-0:50 I have no words too describe !!!!!!!!

[IOmegaMusic]

Way legit....



[CannibalThug]

Damn thats some fuckin killer shit!! \m/

[TsReDLiNe]

Got a question for ya Keith, what do you think of those EMG 707's for the really low stuff? Some people say Passives are better for "Djenty" sounds but it seems like those 707's have some nice punch in this song.

[TsReDLiNe]

Serious control right here.

[Beliar276]

I LOVE THAT GUITAR!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 *_*

[d3tach3d]

Im looking into getting an Agile Septor Elite. Whats your take on AGILE keith?

[szumowski56]

keith merrow - i play this shit in my sleep muda fuka

me - wtf freak

hes so maddddd

[KaslarProductions]

The world definitely needed you to exist. I thank you on behalf of everyone living today and in the future.

[munruthel1]

love the cryptopsy shirt

[LEMONS4R3PRETTYGOOD]

why are you not the most famous person on earth

[zenkiller]

Yei Boi! Your not predictable and tasteless! Love it!

[GhHolocaust]

oh my god... totally pokemon battle music :D

[25solari]

What the drum-program name, which you use?

[G27dude]

That main riff is so sexy. Damn, how do you come up with this stuff? hahaha \m/

[mbdulka]

Is this out on Guitar Hero yet?  I would so rock this song on "Difficult" :-)

[Voidrazer]

I own the exact same guitar. ^^

[pkingwithfulldragon]

@Voidrazer dude what is that guitar?? i wanna get a 7 strings guitar to play some keith!!!!

[Voidrazer]

@pkingwithfulldragon It is, I believe, an Agile Interceptor Pro 725 EB Black Flame. His tuning seems to be in something like a dropped A#-tuning.

[tomtom777otz]

@Voidrazer Correct. It's exactly Dropped A#/Bb tuning, and the highest string is...crap I forgot. I think an F. Whoever tabbed it on his site had the right idea.

[heavymetalballs]

@Voidrazer You are correct. I just ordered the Pro-B version with Seymour Duncan BLackout Phase 1 and 2 pickups and Tribal Red finish. Nice tone dude and very nice execution.

[Sentencedgr]

is there a way you can play this in normal 6 stringed guitar?

[puppetmaster532]

@Sentencedgr yes just tune down to B

[Joesus5000]

@puppetmaster532 It's actually in A#

[Joesus5000]

@Sentencedgr Get a set of heavy gauge strings - 12 or more - tune to drop A#

[Perfixesus]

How come your clips has more punch then your actuall full songs? It saddens my heart a bit, but this song is to fucking brutal to let me think about anything other then woh much I wish I made this song!! XD Fucking jealous bro!!! \m/

[tas9195]

I have dubbed you the headless guitarist. Great stuff man. Love all your songs. Definitely inspiring. Have you ever talked with Rusty. Since he is friends with Jeff Loomis you should have him guest solo on your stuff. I used to take lessons from Rusty way back in the day. Would be cool to hear you 2 collaborate

[thecolonelstrikes]

AGILE, nice guitar!!!



[mrblue902]

Also fucking love that first riff!! :D

[Justice4AllOne]

I'm proud that I play the same guitar as my main seven-string.

[Andre83925]

THE BEST! THE BEST!!! THE BEST!!!!!!!!

[GeeekOut]

See that ring? It's one of the 666 rings of guitar power.

[Moxxiekanato]

and then he switched to bernie rico and vik guitars :DDDDD excellent choice keith :DDD

[mrblue902]

Quality headbanging material.

[ThEmSkillzZ1234]

Nice cryptopsy shirt lol and killer song

[phinocaster]

9 people have a learning disability... 

[TheFluweeltje]

awesome,....just awesome...



[TheElectricFred]

By Zeus's beard thats groovy, Hey Keith, is that in Drop A?

[BorisDono]

@TheElectricFred drop A#

[LosRyu]

*_* Amazing...

Agile Guitars seem to be kickass guitars, aren't they ?

[smokethapimp]

Most excellent work, and much appreciated. Thank you also for the free DLs from your website. I have just begun to listen to them in my car. Very cool of you to release that much professionally recorded and mixed music for free. Frankly though, I think watching you play adds to the enjoyment of the music. Just listening a person might mistake some of what you are doing as overdubs and/or bass track. Really cool to see exactly what you are doing. Great stuff! Thanks much for your videos.

[vincemini1]

you have a 5150 right? what do you have your settings at and do yoiu run any pedals?

[ExtremeBogom]

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of a thousand women dropping their panties...

[OndskapensHersker]

I've been a fan of yours a long while.

and although i love the quality of this song i cant but imagine how good this song would sound with your Axe Fx.

Could You. for all your fans re-record this song?

[TheReaper0218]

I like how Keith kind of jumps into the song! 0:02 X]

[Saruknuffel]

who could be so stupid to dislike this amazing video cO !?

[robvk6]

How could people not appreciate this work ??? even if your not into this kind of music you could shut your mouth and move on to something else!!! no reason to dislike this ,your awesome kieth*****

[bonzzo15]

too bad every band with kickass instrumentals like this always have WAY to much deathmetal-ish vocals for my taste, i like growl but to a limit, a mix of clean and the roughest shit ever works!

peace!

[SinisterFlames]

@diobolic5150 Why does the guitar sound clearer on this video than on the album itself?

Thanks in advance.

[br00tality]

I have that Whisper Supremacy shirt too ;)

[SinisterFlames]

Scroll up! Your missing a great video..!

[galatonim]

@SinisterFlames I don't have to, big screen ftw ;)

[iJantsa]

@galatonim 2 screens, fullscreen on other, "all comments" on the other one???

[sunnyjim98]

@SinisterFlames maybe on your screen resolution :D

[VincentFinn]

@SinisterFlames is this song original (diobolic5150) ???

[CraxPfeife]

Dude , a band and you'll definitively get big!

[maidenforever666]

and this is why i want a 7 string :(

[843andrew]

what do ya think about playing in drop e(7th and 8th string) and drop d (5and 6th) that would be an interesting combination

[ObscureAlchemist]

How can Agile guitars be so good if they're so cheap? I remain skeptical; I'd very much love to try one.

[thisismy1strodeo]

@ObscureAlchemist They aren't bad at all. I have an 8 string Septor and it plays amazingly for the price. Everyone that tries it loves it.

[ObscureAlchemist]

@thisismy1strodeo Yeah, I've read a bit more about them. I'd love to get one. But there's one thing; one guy said the necks were flat like an ibanez, and another guy said that they're much rounder; he said they're more of a U-shaped neck. It's not a deal-breaker, but I love Ibanez necks. (My guitar has kind of a round neck though, so I can deal with it).

[thisismy1strodeo]

@ObscureAlchemist They are decently thin. Not quite as thin as an Ibanez but thinner than most Schecters I have played. I loooove how thing Ibanez necks are!

[MusicFan479]

Hey Keith which Tremol-no do you use on your guitars that are equipped with them?

[undoubtfulldemise]

hey man, was wondering....do you get someone to record the drumtracks, do you play them yourselves, or do you use a drum program? if you use a drum program, what one is it? i'm a metal head myself looking for the best way to record my music, all my band's have fallen through and the drum beats i want to compose can't be on a shitty yammaha drum machine from the 80's lol.

btw i think you're an amazing composer, your riffs are inspiring!!! rock on man, help me out if you can ahahaha

[Dedalusalley]

I think you''re so much better than Animals As Leaders.

[FunkMuker]

Brushing your teeth is a lot more metal with this in the background.

[PlaysCoversKid]

god!! this is so coooooool :D :D :D :D :D :D

[i1nz]

i love how the account is diobolic :D

[toughmerc13]

all i have to say about the riff at 0:21 is FUCK YEAH!!!! I MAKES ME WANNA KILL A BEAR WITH MY BEAR HANDS!!

[gmacbeth121]

Jesus christ i need a cd of this shit

[Deizelcore]

@gmacbeth121

You can get this and his other older tracks as a free download from his site. Keith's new album is available for purchase there as well.

[ilikebeer]

best ringtone ever :)

[sewersludgerecords]

...only God could pull off a cover version of this...

[ItzR3zR4pt0r]

fucking sick opening riff

[SamBuft]

REALLY enjoyed this.

[LuxrayDude]

Is this in Drop C?

[munruthel1]

@LuxrayDude It's in drop A# on a seven string

[LuxrayDude]

@munruthel1 Aha Cheers man :) I thought i would be something like that, i realised that it wouldn't be in Drop C. My next guess was B but turns not xD

[munruthel1]

@LuxrayDude np man

[jermrox1]

@LuxrayDude lol nope he is just using a 7 string XD

[CarnalFearAZ]

beautiful Agiles behind you! and great playing but i gotta ask. wats that thing your using to reduce the hum behind the nut?

[iamhomo1]

CRYPTOPSY shirt ftw \m/

[iamhomo1]

you should play with SPAWN OF POSSESSION :)

[FeroxX]

Keith Merrow is like not the most technical, not the heaviest, but probably the coolest!

[highintel]

This has to be my new favorite song!

I know I keep asking but, You wouldn't happen to have the patch for your pod available to download would you?

I'm using the X3 LIVE.

[nightsyko]

Drop Bb on a 7string

[robostomo1]

whats the tuning? i cant be too bothered to download guitarpro...

[TheReaper0218]

I want that guitar! X]

[DevastedSoul]

You cracked this tone out of a pod x3? woa..

Anyway, great song man, you're obviously an awesome musician.

[eliten0Ob]

Trying to learn this song for the next years college concert, solo performance. Stuck at 100 BPM on the intro/verse section (before the pulloffs). Woop?

[MrMickey013]

once again this is thee riffage we hunt for.......etc

[Reapersden666]

amazing work dude keep it up



[ELCid254]

This Song KILLS, I can Pit to this! gotta hit U up for some Lessons!!!

[Sniperkitten971]

Hi everybody ! Does anyone know where are Agile guitars built ? And is this one 27" or 25.5" scaled ? Thank you ;)

[littletingoddess96]

@Sniperkitten971 rondomusic . com

[Sniperkitten971]

@littletingoddess96 lol I know Google too :D But rondomusic do not specify where Agile Guitars are built (or I need new glasses !). Thx anyway ;)

[littletingoddess96]

@Sniperkitten971 np you might just wanna try a wikipedia search for "agile guitar company" that would be your next best bet

[Sniperkitten971]

@littletingoddess96 Good Idea but... wikipedia(DOT)org => wiki => Agile ...Ok you have a last try, next time I'll commit suicide ! xD

[littletingoddess96]

@Sniperkitten971 just search agile guitar bor it's not hard

[Sniperkitten971]

@littletingoddess96 I read myself and see that it doesn't make sense x) I meant, no Agile Guitars article... *getting the slip knot ready*

[Fluffypopcicle]

i hear a bit of mastodon in this... but i mostly hear keith merrow lol.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@XWarHammeRsX

@jenza0882

0 people decided that your comments were original.

[BioGeometric066]

7 women are pissed off because at 1:52 they realized, with great disappointment, that Keith is, unfortunately for them, married.

[thegriffster]

1:51 That riff is so sick.

[snazygitrst]

are you familiar with Darren Cruickshank? it sounds alot like his bleeding skies stuff. but this is really sick. do you/can you make a vid of your rig and recording gear and all?

[creation23]

I think my mind just imploded.. ><"

[TheMetalKid9]

Cryptopsy shirt FTW

[daffydub]

Cryptopsy shirt... Mad respect... Great music :)

[raven66614]

CRYPTOPSY SHIRT ? :D

You sir, have just won the internet *-*

[bassistfromhell94]

Dig the Cryptospy t-shirt!



[MichaelBower93]

My favourite Merrow song!

[butcherer100]

FFS man, my standard car speakers just died this afternoon while playing this song haha

Donwloaded it some time ago, anyway now my car smells like shit o.o

[Squa7ch]

@butcherer100 That's what happens when you take a shit in your car.

[butcherer100]

@Squa7ch Come over here and tickle me a bit so I can laugh too, everyone knows that blown up speakers smell fucking horrible :P

[butcherer100]

@Squa7ch Retardiot? 

[sunnyjim98]

did you guys hear that mistake?

me neither ;)

[rocki4k]

@sunnyjim98 I did! After the song ended, it should have never ended!

[SHREDTHEGN4R]

@sunnyjim98 thats because he is playing a little to quiet, you can barely hear him.

[mccask13]

Love it. Lol how you tag Misha for more hits.

Honestly, that's how I discovered your music a few years back.

[jenza0822]

7 dislikes! I can't believe it. Homos!

[mikeygheetarz]

not a big fan of keith merrow really but this song is definitely great. cover is well done as well.

[liranzigi]

what distortion pedal/pod/rig you use? great gsound and great clip!!!



[GAGAISMYMUM]

thts sick as! :D

[sceprent]

Did you happen to get the influence for the name of this song from an author named Terry Goodkind??

[19BigWigglyStyle91]

Brutal..

[MikeBassil]

0:21 COOLEST RICK EVER!!

[ilikebeer]

@MikeBassil rick?

[MikeBassil]

[TheEmilkl]
