[RyanPullin]

[TheMasterLuk]

Recorded through X3 live, am I wrong?

[MrFenzyBastard]

[MrFenzyBastard]

c'est trop médiéval !

[MrFenzyBastard]

@MrFenzyBastard donc immmonde pour me répondre a moi même

[g4yb0mb]

Kudos for the info on your DAW. I asked on another video, and eventually, with a little elbow grease found it on your youtube page, and now here. I'll spread the word the best I can should I see similar comments floating around. I don't doubt for a second you've answered those questions countless times.

[tub3scr3am3r]

who funds your stuff man? you have some cool hardware all over your place :)

[ConorsMetalMilitia1]

@tub3scr3am3r he has sponsers with bernie rico jr

[AcidSh33tz]

The cake is NOT a lie..ive seen it!

[RiffInvader]

I hear an octaver effect pedal. Isn't that right?

[mutilatedbabies]

i would rip my dick off and eat it for that darth vader guitar... just sayin

[BodomChildBreeder]

shit mate u had jeff loomis around at your house! ur music is sick too

[tareqhardan90]

amazing, i love it!

[robvk6]

I read it...lol

[CarnalFearAZ]

Fuckin love the Darth Vader Guitar!!! "The Force is strong with this one!"

[RareMusicOnly]

I downloaded this just in case you pull some Buckethead shit and continue hiding your face..haha

Because I know your going to blow up one day! Someone is watching you now ;)

[ProjectBerklee]

is the pod x3 live directly input to your soundcard?? and which soundcard please??

you're an amazing player/producer!! bro! awesome music... must buy this album

[tristan344]

Djent Vader.

[SpyAttacker]

Keith help me please.I'm from turkey.İ can't finded agile in my country.i wanna buy e-bay but i don't play anytime agile.I wanna schecter jeff loomis nt 7.but my friend say something for agile septor elite 725 dnc eb. Please help me ? Agile or Schecter?

[8JobForAMexican8]

@SpyAttacker Agile has such a faster neck than Shecter. Both sound the same depending on what pick ups are installed. If you want class buy a Carvin, I own a Ibanez RGD7320, Carvin DC727, and a Agile Intrepid Pro 727.

[TheZackMackShow]

VERY AWESOME 0_0

[MesaESP0131]

Dude LOVE your tone! And your writing is so inspiring! What pick-ups do you use currently (i know this is an older video) and what is your prefered guitar these days? I have fallen in love with the Crunch Lab in my MH-400. Thinking of getting an Agile 7 string Interceptor Pro.

[SteveShetler]

Awesome song Keith :) Was your album "The Arrival" recorded using the x3 live, or did you have the axe fx at that time?

[Elysianwarrior]

Keith Merrow you are a great musician.

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

@ZachForgives Okay that's the one I was leaning towards thanks! :)

[IPushHard]

Keith, you're a great talent. Been going through your vids (again). Great stuff, and I'm more of a pentatonic guy. Just very creative, heavy, flows like water. Impressive.

BTW... Hello from AGF. Drop by man!

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

For a cheap 7 string what is better?

Schecter Omen Extreme 7, or Ibanez RG7321

[Mush0Art]

@ArtificialFlavaFTB2 Neither, Douglas or Agile

[d3tach3d]

did you mix and master your Tracks? They sounds great. Could you possibly P.M. your Toontrack Project file.(If its superior 2.0)

[MrMickey013]

hit me up merrow

[MrMickey013]

Hellyeah! " " Vader will soon arrive

[snazygitrst]

wow... I just wrote a song about aliens and intended on my band making an EP about 'em and then I find this. suckage. sweet guitar anyway and wicked intro. btw is this even about aliens? it just seems like it "the Arrival", "Abducted".

[SorryArchitect]

Did you record this with just the POD X3? My friend has the same thing and he can never get it to sound that great ahaha.

[caguamassatanicas]

this is a masterpiece man. Everytime I listen to this I get FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS!! amazing. Just amafreakingmazing.

[Torqueofficial]

is it neccesary to have an active guitar to get the blackout pickups? and also, do I need to change both pickups or can I change just the bridge?

[dannyzep92]

omg O.O we can see your face!!!!

[leonoff89]

geez u have so many of those agile guitars do they have a custom shop or something perhaps youre endorsed by them that some sweet shit u playen btw

[billybones116]

@leonoff89 They can make custom guitars.

[leonoff89]

@billybones116 yea didnt know lthey had a custom shop they make some nice 7 strings

[devaggos]

Fucking brutal and beautiful the same time. 5/5

[deathcore1239]

"the cake is a lie" hahaha portal reference

[bht97]

I love this song!!! I need an extremely cheep (under 350) 7 string. Could you recommend one? I'm looking at either a Schecter 7 or a Douglas Hadron 727.

[PharaohIslands]

@bht97

ibanez rg 7321 is a cheap guitar I'd recommend, just saying

[BlazeInTheMazeOfLife]

This is the music that keeps my hopes high.

[bMoney9292]

seriously, it's so sick

[acdcrocksyou]

such a sick vader guitar

[guitarstudd]

As always Keith, truly Epic!!!!

[cheese0tron]

fucking solo already

you would kick even more ass please solo

[Ithyphallics]

Fuck that, get a band together and tour sure but don't add vocals. It would take away from where the real music is, in the instruments.

[Destroyerrrrrr06]

THe cake is a lie ... simply epic dude you have made my day with that comment

[SweepCreep]

dude you realize if you got a full band set up youd be famous right? you could tour! i could see alot of these songs you got going with vocals actually. get shit rollin an get on tour man! youd do great!

[poopscoop616]

I really like the chord progressions, it reminds me that I need to get guitar lessons so i can make more sense of what I am doing. not that I hella suck or anything. lol

how long have you been playing for?

[jacks2axe]

I thank my neighbour for showing your videos to me every time I see him, this song is a masterpiece i reckon. You inspire me to play more and better \m/ @.@ \m/

[Alienfingers14]

darth vadar agile guitar FTW!

[aPOTg]

this is the kind of thing i imagine playing as i transform my body into a ball of energy and travel around the universe to explore its secrets. well i know at least when i learn how to do that, ill have my mp3 player and this shit will be at the top of my playlist. you fuckin rule man.

[kyle122388]

great playing as always keith, check out my song albert fish if you have a second i would love to hear your opinion

[vsv23te]

[babasbmx]

[TheOddZofEven]

[HuberttXXX17]

[2scrimble9]

[Unmentioned77]

[richardleisawesome]

You play Agile?! So do I! You're like the first person other than myself with one.......awesome.

[HiiITzJames]

i dont care, you are up there with the best guitarsts on youtube, your stuff is amazing :)

[Neverhead20]

@HiiITzJames fuck youtube,one of the best composers out there..and I said composer because there are a lot of technical guitarists in a very good level out there,but not all of them can use their technique to compose something interesting and unique out of the ordinary....we must recognize and appreciate such artists...and that's what at least I do..

[damaged01]

That Darth Vader guitar is the coolest guitar I have ever seen. Where did you get that?

[BlackNemo1]

witch pod is that from line 6 ?

[SouthernDoom666]

brilliant!!!

[skarfreak]

[ElAlexxis]

[totalmetalisation]

[praetorian18]

[pongvai]

[xT3hDoct4hHsojx]

I love the opening riff, one of the most amazing works of art I've ever heard. Sounds like a mix of the faceless and more deathcore. amazing.

[washburnwolf]

I guess someone clicked the wrong button up there...this is sick!

[joenic2791]

Lovin' the sound man. Epic intro as well...I saw the Loomis vid too, very exciting. A definite buy for me when it comes out.

[bigpigdave1]

[diobolic5150]

@bigpigdave1 Thanks, Dave!

[bigpigdave1]

@diobolic5150 Thank you for the inspiration man to keep pounding on these things!

Love the style, though not my style - love listening to it and watching you play. You do make it look effortless which is a sign of ALOT of time practicing/playing.

My son loves your Vader guitar btw - both of my boys are into the Star War's Lego stuff

[nickguitarfreak17]

@diobolic5150 Any songs you got solos in?

[ChristmasFireFly]

@nickguitarfreak17 Io has a guitar solo xP

[guitardude671]

@diobolic5150 i've gone to your site to download some of your work but it won't let me move it from my downloads files any ideas?

[IdRatherbeDeaddd]

this is one of the slower ones. brutal :D

[Kyleguitarguy7]

I HAVE THAT SAME GUITAR. EXCEPT MINE IS A LEFT AND RED FLAMED MAPLE

[bolgrats]

I was just going to ask if you havnt done anything more melodic, but i think i just found it!

[theoryofgrey]

this is my fuckin favorite song

[chadman1115]

this song really inspired me to make a song with my 7 string (dark matter) haha you should check it out :D i posted it as a video response. i would love some advice from you or anyone that listens to it! thanks!

[brianinogang]

dude I love this. can you upload your x3 preset? I love this and coincidentally, we have a lot in common in terms of gear choice. I also use a 7 string, own an x3live, use flstudio as daw for a choice and love death progressive metal. I would really love to learn more about what your doing and how you're producing em. you rock dude keep it up!!

[chadman1115]

dude this is soooooo crazy good! haha i love your tone so much! i see you have a pod x3 live :D you should post your tunes haha

[deathcore1239]

awesome playing dude, seriously metal and thanks a million for letting me know how much i suck haha

[minivanswillrapeyou]

what kind of picks do u use? i like the attack they give u on the string

[deathcore1239]

@minivanswillrapeyou probably EMG707's or EMG81 7'S. its what EVERY1 uses :/

[Stabwound07]

Firstlt, Keith loving all the stuff you've uploaded so far. Titan being my favourite. Fellow SS.org'er here, super jealous on the Agile's you have man. Props.

@deathcore1239

He was referring to the PICK not PICK-UPS.

Oh, and don't be THAT guy by picking on people who use active pickups. Just because Keith isn't using passive's doesn't mean he isn't getting great tone (which he is)

At the end of the day, pickups are preference. There is no 'right' or 'wrong'

Thankyou for your time.

[deathcore1239]

@Stabwound07 oh calm down you stupid fucker. i have no problem with emgs or any other active pickups tone i dont like that you have to route the pickup cavity to put them in. if they were just the regular, unboxed, dimarzio style, id be all over them. because that thing where you can click them in is awesome. im not beint "that guy". hes fuckin awesome, his guitar is fuckin awesome, and his tone is awesome. so fuck you, dont bitch at me

[Stabwound07]

@deathcore1239

The original person YOU replied to was talking about PICKS. Regardless of pickups.

Don't call me a stupid fucker without having any proof. Thanks.

[deathcore1239]

@Stabwound07 the picks vs pickups was a reading error. and i can say whatever i want. you freaked over nothing, sounds pretty stupid in my opinion

[shockkwave2004]

Very nice work!!!

[XXMetal666]

Is your name really keith merrow...or is it a stage name idea? I ask because Merrow is brutal last name:P

[diobolic5150]

@XXMetal666 yeah, that is my real name. Lol

[XXMetal666]

@diobolic5150

epic win:)

[AntiHero1996]

@XXMetal666 Lol I have to ask that question alot, like the drummer of Bloodbath, his name is Martin Axenrot...that's just crazy awesome

[Islandsoundzz]

This would be the perfect music for a Hollywood action movie..and 2:55 - 3:41 is where everything starts blowing up...

[LarcherESP]

Hello Keith, I was just wondering what program do you use for the drums and your guitar processing(eq/comrpessor/gates­) :)

[elguebon23]

"Always as a refreshing rain on summer" Keep the sound alive my friend!

[un1d3n]

You and your album are AWESOME!

[SlapGas]

Dude great job...Seriously.Tight guitars and riffage.

You may be more "metal" oriented than I personally prefer, but that is not an excuse to not admit your playing...

I want to ask you a question though: Do you use Pod X3 for guitar tones and recording?Do you record directly or using a mic through an amp of some kind?

I am thinking of buying a Pod X3 and I wonder if it gets the job done really...

So what's up with that?

[metalpan1234]

wow bass.........!!!!!!!

[proguitargamer]

I always thought you used an E-Bow in this song.

[chriskult]

Dude....I downloaded this album. It kills!!! I think i'll use it to practice shredding to.

[chriskult]

The Darth Vader guitar was ultra cool!!!! I want one.

[NYYscorpio]

Is that your own studio? damn, room of my dreams. I mean, guitars, computers, and star wars, it cant get much better.

[WarwickBlood777]

[wolverine005]

WTF YOU HAVE A HEAD?!

[afocused1]

I see you use a Pod X3 Live. I'm thinking of upgrading to one myself. I currently use a Zoom G2.1u and was wondering if you recommend the that unit.

[NoNameCityBand00]

I had a question about agiles I was planning on buying a new guitar and I want to save for a left-handed schecter elite 007 with blackout pups. my current guitar is a dean vendetta 1.l and I am having issues with holding tune after solos but I want a guitar with a thick lush sound and I was wondering if the interceptor pro gets the same thick full sound with out sacrificing much. thanks and also what multi band compressor do you use when mastering cause I like it.. thanks luther. stellar song

[hentaikiller]

I wish there were lyrics and singing

[kuyuletul]

thinking ov buyng one so i could use an opinion

[kuyuletul]

are you pleased with your agiles from rondomusic?

[kolyo2588]

This has to be the best video you have ever made, the bass solo and just the whole thing..... 5 Stars , the song , don't even get me started, this song has to be my #2 song next to Laid to rest by Lamb of God .....

[GFYrapcore]

You rock!!!!

[XguitrfreekX]

I'm not going to lie, ever since I found your profile and watched a few of your videos, you instantly became one of my favorite guitarists. Your style is very unique and original. Keep it metal :).

[Darklordbrink]

That Darth Vader guitar is so sick...also, nice playing. Great song as well.

[AntiHero1996]

1:07-Sounds like The Unforgiven!!! Awesome job man, keep writing these ethereal riffs!

[KmS69GlItChErS]
