Keith Merrow- Titan

[Sefrugon]

*takes off shades* Mother of god....you have flesh covered breadsticks for fingers!

[janot928]

one man must feel alone ...

[0sk4ri]

whoa awesome, subbed!

[MrSputtel]

Man, as soon as i get my seven-string I'm gonna practice this song

[RasecKnarf]

This track is great! Chappers brought me here too.

[ThyWorshipMetal]

Chappers introduced me to this track, well done. You've successfully made me happy for this week!

[cpamiseso]

Finally, an Ibanez :D

[masterbeef92]

what is this guitar called?

[Chartier111290]

@masterbeef92 Its written ibanez on it.

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

God damn epic riffs

[Metallishred612]

what a fucking riff man

[nosf3r]

chappers brought me here <8-))

[sickelectric320]

Wow, this song kicks so much ass.

[AlexMcshred6505plus]

freakin' chunky \m/-__-\m/

[MrFenzyBastard]

if keith merrow exists i can believe in god right now.

[VincentFinn]

You must be very rich, look all those equipments, 7 st guitars... here in brazil all those stuff would cost much much much... : \

[g4yb0mb]

Most appropriate song title ever.

[Guitarmazdur]

that Agile 8-string keeps staring at me from the background... o_o

[metalmaniac9498]

I like how the promoted video for this is basics of blood cells.

[BodomChildBreeder]

i noticed u had sum sick guitars but this one is truly a beauty... that natural finish...

[ibrcek1]

is he on standard tuning or on drop b with a lower F at the seventh string?

[Joesus5000]

@ibrcek1 Drop A#

[bellingerga]

The last minute of this song shows how hard subtelty can smash in metal. Fuckin love it

[iamajoo]

can someone please tell me what tuning he uses in this song?

[svtcobra666]

How does some POS band like Good Charlotte or something make it while talented motherfuckers like Keith Merrow are stuck on You Tube. It's a fucking shame.

[bellingerga]

@svtcobra666 I wouldn't say he's "stuck" on youtube. He's forged a path for himself and is quietly sitting back making the best decisions for him and his family. Just wait around, shit'll happen.

[guitpick12]

@svtcobra666 because most people don't want to listen to sick music that kicks them in the nuts \m/ Also, only a subset of people can really appreciate the guitar work here...they are called guitar players. It really is a damn shame. It's the same reason people would rather sing along with Nickelback than listen to Yo-Yo Ma's amazing cello work: people like simple bullshit.

[mutilatedbabies]

@svtcobra666 I totally agree with you, but hes just too brutal for mainstream, lets let all the shitty bands sell out and all the real musicians keep on keepin on.

[EJE22822]

@svtcobra666 it's very simple when you consider the average American's attention span. listening to music this complex isn't something most people are equiped to do.

[GZER33]

@svtcobra666 YouTube > TV; but in all cases, I know what you mean haha.

[SamBuft]

amazing, wat model is that nez mate? its really nice, which is rare for ibanez :L

[SynysterSkwee]

HORNS UP MOTHER FUCKERS!



[Dubbl3T3am]

1:58 fucking sick

[guitardude671]

really diggin your music at the moment getting into the kinda djent stuff really want an 8 string. Big fan of Meshuggah. But i'm probs gonna get a 7 string first

[rizla1951]

reminds me a lot of meshugah, only better

[pntballfreek]

nice sound dude, opening sounds like old school meshuggah

[grazianism]

i dude, i must say you're a great player. what kind of amp you use to record this track? thanks and keep create great stuffs!

[YoungNickJames]

I LOVE that guitar.

[ZILtoid1991]

How did you get that guitar? If I'm right Ibanez LACS guitars have made only for special people since 1998.

[isiscrushes]

addictive drums?

[mooping5]

That first riff gets me every time. Great stuff

[edzillas1]

ive pretty much been addicted to your music man, like, in a sense you really keep it simple and catchy, but its still sooo clever! keep it up man, i for one am inspired and grateful...

[wickedwizardofspeed]

also this is fucking awesome. amazing playing!

[wickedwizardofspeed]

what do you use to record direct into the computer? guitar wise.

[Linqua2112]

what amp is used on this track?

[certifiedpet]

PDX represent! Keith is the shit.

[LuxrayDude]

Man and i thought i was a good composer.. Every time i pick up my guitar i don't play a song, instead i play whatever comes to my head.. But you good sir.. Your something completely different. I love your compositions, keep it up :)

[VTittle]

Ugh everything after that sweep harmonic sequence is just, well it's gettin' nice and heavy. haha

[shuszzam]

i love u , ur guitar and your playing.. superb!!

[lappiolu]

IO TI AMO

[lappiolu]

OOOOOOOOOOO MYYY GOOODDD THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING

[lappiolu]

FUCKING AMAZING GUYSSSS.....COMPLIMENTS FROM SARDINIA (ITALY)

[UnkelPhucker6]

your playing reminds of the band The Classic Struggle, sick shit though

[DistortedBrain]

Tunign please? Drop G seven?

[sdmfbrunost]

@DistortedBrain i think its either drop A# or drop A

[Marz1ns4n1ty]

@sdmfbrunost @DistortedBrain How can you two not know when he posts it at the end of the video LOL. Its A#. Not trying to be a troll... just sayin....

[Pamahana97]

got tabs for 6 stingers?

[sweenietodd]

hey man! i downloaded the tab for this song wich is btw an awesome song! but i its no the whole tab!? do you know why?

[ELCid254]

Fred Durst needs to give U a call!

[wolffrankenstein]

Cool riffs.

[dethgaar]

@diobolic5150

Sounds great, but the intro sounds WAY too much like Meshuggah. Work on that.

[Dylzor]

@dethgaar You don't tell Keith Merrow to "work on it". Ever.

[Elodren]

@Dylzor Haha, nicely said! :D

[arleksundah]

@Dylzor I don't understand why you're complaining. That was some valid criticism

[mattsetonend]

@dethgaar Haha oh no. You're one of those guys. NOTHING like Meshuggah sorry mate

[meah941]

@dethgaar

The intro sounds like a freakin boss battle. What are you talking about?

[90fourninety]

DAT TONE

[jensmedgaffeln]

This one gave me chills. Subbed.

[maxstatic]

Never get sick of watching you slay man.

[brandon8091]

[tayloracantrell]

[EJE22822]

Killer riffs Keth, love the space/astronomy themes!

[necromnous]

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

[wowrazzor]

Love the part from 0:42 on. Really groovy.

[wakkagonemad]

It's funny how the most talented musicians seem to not really blow up huge.

[amtheriver]

i love this!!!

[menarefrom]

got a question , got a schecter gryphon 7, want a more bassy sound, think its ok to order 8 string set and use the 7 lowest?

[jackson1212100]

very nevermore-ish.. i like

[sipinflames]

dude have the sickest guitars and sickest tone ever!

[poopscoop616]

You are good dude! I need to be at your level. I need help with my guitar playing, i been playing for ten years & i feel that I don't know as much as i should. I need advise.

[WhiskeyMtnMachine]

fuckin bad ass!

[MrTheguitarweirdo]

DUDE - i titally dig the tune, LOVE YOUR IDEAS..but man, i was wondering, what drum program do you use? i need one that can pull off all the messuggah stuff and all the faceless stuff..

[REiGNxFTA]

@MrTheguitarweirdo

your in luck as meshugga uses toontrack ezdrummer with drumkit from hell expansion costs about usd $99 at guitar center for the ezdrummer vst i think the expansions are around $50 usd

[retardhenry1122]

I've listened to about 5 of your songs so far. Gotta hand it to you brutha, you can write a fucken tune! Keepem comin!

[dealerbinq]

thats a freaking sweet ibanez! whitch model is it and where dit you bought it! pleas tell me!

[OpethDood]

Holyfuckbiscuits.

My guitar is now a coffee table. I give up.

[pungsveittur]

Dude! this sounds amazing!

[MrTheguitarweirdo]

dude you write some really good songs!

[TheBassGirl21]

dam this is good shit

[menarefrom]

1;57 fuck yea

[thegr8HarV]

this is the song that made me addicted to keith merrow.  especially from 1:53 - 2:12. so fuckin groovy

[jordanmajel]

Lamb of God meets Meshuggah. That's what comes to my mind when listening to this. Anyway, really cool stuff and great playing! :)

[egmaverikc84]

i was wandering have you considered a vocalist? and what type of vocalist if you want one would you be interested in? i am a singer and i was interested in putting some vocals in your songs and i was curious.

[LeviTheShapeshifter]

dude! your music is incredible. how do you come up with this stuff? lol keep up the good work.

[SevenStringShredHead]

@LeviTheShapeshifter my names levi too lol

[LeviTheShapeshifter]

@SevenStringShredHead You play a seven string too. Lets make love

[SevenStringShredHead]

@LeviTheShapeshifter our offspring will be an unstoppable force

[TheBitpirate]

K.M. per definition.

[NOodleFISH72]

[BassKindOfGuy]

@NOodleFISH72

[NOodleFISH72]

[brandoncarrier1]

[xGUITARZEROx]

[Manbox117]

hey keith, ive been wondering, what drum program do you use?

[meah941]

So Keith, how's that Schecter Jeff Loomis comparing with the rest of your guitars?

[AlienRope]

\m/  \m/

[Itsoeasyafterall]

dude i wonder if you're putting this up itunes or anything, are you going to release an album any sooner, I really wanna get this song dude! i would buy this song ,download it whatever it takes to put it in my Ipod!

[MaliciousChips]

I so wanna add keys to this!

[MegaOshit]

I canNOT get over your tone, Jesus it's so fucking heavy.

[DRAMI80]

Nicer to me is the day !

[VargenStyrka]

sounds a bit like meshuggah only not as hard

[gerorge1234321]

awesome riffs and tone ....:D

[JaySon33883]

Amazing work. I want to learn some stuff. I find it very interesting that you are tuned one half step UP. It's unusual but sounds pretty dang kewl...im gonna try that lol

[keasaildsslog]

someone loves Periphery! and so do i!!!

[lewismofo]

hey dude

just gunna start off saying i think its really goddamn kool you share your tunes for free, absolutely love the stuff. come to the uk and play live! :D

i was thinking of buying an agile 727 interceptor and was wondering if its a good idea, because im relatively new to the name and dont know to much about their playability and quality. i been using a nez 7321 and love it, great guitar for the value, but the agiles look so much better and look like they play better.

[adamsk8erroker]

is this your own original work?

[diobolic5150]

@adamsk8erroker Yeah

[fuelinject]

@diobolic5150 would you let me sing on this please ?

[jermrox1]

@diobolic5150 i have 1 thing 2 say 2 u...U F***ING ROCK!! oh and plzzzz continua making music because u r my favourite artist and it would be nice to have another amazing album on my ipod. :)

[MrOppi3]

@diobolic5150 Wich do u prefer more, Ibanez or Agile? just want to know beause im thinking about getting an 8 string pretty soon i just dont know what brand

[COBfan43]

@MrOppi3 Go Agile. You get more for your money at their price range as compared to Ibanez's RGA8 unless you can afford an RG2228.

[BrosamaBinladen14]

@COBfan43 Do you not see the Intrepid in the background?

[MrOppi3]

@COBfan43 thanks! but i have to even try an ibanez 8 string, ive messed around a little with a schechter 8 string at guitar center, but it wasntmy style, thanks for the reccommendation tho:)

[V0r4xiz]

@adamsk8erroker From the underbar "This is a new song I'm working on" ... ... l2read

[Erithlon]

Djent Djent Djent!!!!

(I hate that word, but I fucking LOVE the music!!!)

[mustainerockz2323]

sweet shreddin dude



[YSiLvErY]

MATH FUCKING METAL

[guitar4evr30]

fucking heavy. nice

[TheMusiciansFriend]

how did you get a lacs guitar if ibnaez doesn't endorse you

[diobolic5150]

@TheMusiciansFriend I bought it private party from a friend.

[TheMusiciansFriend]

@diobolic5150 sorry if im acting like a dumbass right now but what does it means to buy it private party?

[oddfellowfloyd]

@diobolic5150: LUCKY! :P

[richardleisawesome]

@diobolic5150 You're just that badass man.

[Marsell88]

great creativity and flow! big like!

can you recommend a 7 string that is a bit below say RG1527 Prestige class?

tnx, keep it up!

[dellaire11]

Beautifully composed.

[batman0466]

1:54 to the end has to be the best breakdown (for lack of a better term) ever recorded. If possible could you send tabs? that part is omitted from the tabs on your website

[GalinkG]

You are a great man!

[bogatirj2]

Thank you for your tracks!They are awesome, you are a incredible metal guitarist with a specific taste what doesn't similar to other players or bands.You give in to music a new taste thanks alot for that and sorry for my bad english :) Cheers from Latvia.

[HugoFTorres]

So fucking awesome :D You're signed to any label? Do you have plans on that?

[skully909]

what are you using to program your drums?

[ismailbreznica]

could someone tell me which model ibanez is that ? TY!!

[thecowboykiller1]

@ismailbreznica It is a L.A. Custom Shop

[thecowboykiller1]

@ismailbreznica It is a L.A. Custom Shop

[conman1136]

what sub genre or metal would u classify this??

[VnaldersYourMan]

@conman1136 Metal.

[illtattoo]

keith ur the shit man i love ur riffs! ur music reminds me of a cross between sybreed and devine heresy! would u say thats a fair comment and do u see where im coming from?

[deathcore1239]

now im an ibanez guy 100%! but that RG doesnt sound as good as any of the agiles

[19wes87]

by far the best 7 string riff of all time

[IHateBrokencyde]

what a djentleman.

[neo69hk]

Could you plase tell me .... when you double the guitar tracks...Are you play the seem riff two times or just copy and paste ?

[AdamDallas]

@neo69hk I can answer for you! When you're double tracking, copy and paste will never work, because the reason double tracking makes a track sound thicker is that the 2 differing tracks will have ever so slight differences in intonation between the notes, creating some positive phase, or VERY slight chorus type effect, thickening the sound!

[NirvanaLivesOn]

That's awesome. Very impressive

[tanky666hate]

keith you rule! a lot!

[ChelaHarper]

I wish I was half as talented as you...

[camodudestrikesagain]

man i wish i was that good. any tips on guitar

[iRockDanny]

bro your a freaking beast!!!!

[damaged01]

Will you please come to Spokane and play????????

[ilanzero]

are you using one of the presets on ur pod x3 live? if not can you tell me what your tone model consists of like cab, gate, stomp etc. i have a pod x3live and i can never get to sound quite like this

[TruNikkaz]

keith you should def put a band together and market the tracks!

id love to see you in a band playing in my area with some other good bands!

[deathcore1239]

you really like maple fretboards dont you?

[VnaldersYourMan]

@deathcore1239 Dude, maple fretboards are perfect for seven string guitars.

[deathcore1239]

@VnaldersYourMan yea but theyre still ugly as hell imo

[supah1337B]

sounds like a mix between meshuggah and mastodon.

sweet :D

[666wrathofheaven666]

Who influences your playing style?

You have an awesome style.

[GirlMasterChief1]

Totally awesome dude

[jeffmacleod85]

{ :oO holy shit

Subscribed!

[TheUnconsecrated]

love the cargo pants man hahaha

[xDAxSlayer]

ewww...after hering you play agile and that bernie rico jr i dont like ibanez anymore it sounds so dull....i definitely gotta get an agile now

[TruNikkaz]

@xDAxSlayer

its the emgs that make this tone sterile

but i like sterile =]

[suprjnt420]

sup Kieth,

which do you prefer EMG 707's or the SD Blackouts?

[monkeysleek]

dude you inspire me (:

[LGrey8]

This is really recorded all with a POD X3?

Sounds like a damn Peavey 5150. I never knew the X3 sounded so good.

But I suppose it only really sounds so good for metal?

[Jdcie]

Just out of curiosity, do you record at the standard 44.1, 16 bit, or do you go for the higher sample rates and bit resolutions?

[extremesoul666]

I wish I were myself, but in your shoes. damn dude. hey no offense that riff is kinda pop, its cool. Like reminds me of beat it from michael jackson, of course metal, but listen to the arrangement.

[wikidkilla4life]

Keith, I love all of your music. It's very inspiring and amazing. I was wondering, would you be opposed to let me add a vocal track in some of your songs? I like your style of playing. I have been getting into a lot of The Faceless and now your stuff. Please let me know about adding my own vocal track into this.
