@franciscomeza11 Awesome. i will definitely do that.

The song got progressively better. Great song. I really love it. And I love the the tribute to "Thr Madness Within" at the end.

[franciscomeza11]

[Xallia621]

Bought the album, showed it to everyone I know, and you should hopefully have at least 20 more customers lol. They all really enjoyed it, but I can name about 20 that actually wanted to purchase it afterward. Keep workin' your charm, brother. You're a great inspiration.

[franciscomeza11]

@Xallia621 thanks for your support man, glad you and your friends liked it, cheers!

[wisenthefools]

If all these talentless rappers and clay formed pop artists, most of which don't even write their own lyrics, let alone MUSIC, are filthy rich, then you my friend.....should own a small country or atlest a cluster of islands and a hotel franchise.

[franciscomeza11]

@wisenthefools lol that is really nice of you man, thanks. This track is on my second album coming out on itunes and everywhere else in a couple of weeks. You can keep in the loop by joining me at facebook . com / franciscomezamusic thanks again

[mochajride]

I really like the idea that you went with at the end when you tied in the solo from The Madness Within...I almost shat my pants with glee

[franciscomeza11]

@mochajride glad you liked it, good work catching the madness within reference

[mochajride]

I really like the idea that you went with at the end when you tied in the solo from The Madness Within...I almost shat my pants with glee

[MichG1974]

francisco you are a breath of fresh air. Im an old guy (45) and still love the old tunes,metal , progressive, hell even classical... Your style reminds me of older 70s prog rock like ELP ...very devoted to the instument. I did not realize you had an album out, im going to get it and I will do my best to get you some more fans here in Canada. Great job,and when you tour look to the south of Toronto, there will be a great reception for you here.

[franciscomeza11]

@MichG1974 thanks so much for the comment and watching the video. Yes the album is still available in Itunes Canada, less than 8 bucks. Hope you enjoy it, by the way I'm Canadian too, i live in TO. Keep spreading the word

[sc0tt666]

[franciscomeza11]

@sc0tt666 much appreciated man!!

[manicmetropolis]

At some point, I am going to try and do a vid covering one of your songs...that is when i can play more than two notes

[Shaggoth4]

Damn it I love every song you've ever done including the covers. I've been listening to your music for about a year now I think and I can't believe I still haven't bought your album. I'm about to get some money into my credit card and I'm going to buy your IOI album and your new one when it comes out. Man you are a real big inspiration for me to try and make things with my band work out. Anyhow Thanks for the awesome music man. Quick question, have you played any of these songs live before?

[franciscomeza11]

@Shaggoth4 This is much appreciated :). Unfortunately no, I haven't had the opporunity to play this material live

[DrumDyl]

I like it a lot, especially the harmonization of the guitars. Where did the drum part come from?

[PSYCH0xxxP3NGU1N]

This is an epic title to an EPIC song, my opinion great title for an album =)

[PenTaFeX]

speechless....

as awesome as always! You're so fucking talented!

[wariomt]

hey pal, great music, im listening to you whole day :) im curious of how much money can you earn just via selling your work on net, if you dont wanna answer here, you can pm me, thanks a lot pal. :)

[BIG0head0BANG]

Have you ever studied music?

[franciscomeza11]

@BIG0head0BANG no never

[BIG0head0BANG]

@franciscomeza11 that's what i thought, cuz you seem to play from your heart, not from your head.

[KyleJPie10]

@franciscomeza11 Now that is what I call natural born talent.

[Ongay23]

i want that disc... where can i download it?? D:<

[franciscomeza11]

@Ongay23 thanks for asking, this track will be included in my second album still in the making. I do have my first album still available on Amazon (USA, Canada, japan, Europe, Australia) and Amazon (France, Germany, USA, Denmark, China, etc etc) you can also find it in Napster and emusic, for less than 8 bucks or 7 Euros. it is called INNOCENCE OF INSANITY

[manicmetropolis]

would you ever go on tour with this music of yours?

[XFATtonyXxxxxxx]

that was so unexpected lol on 7:06 that was a some kick ass shit had me head banging like crazi i was ohh shit nice good stuff man love it

[wetter3000]

wow, einfach genial der song!!

[reympab29]

awesome pure talent.... how do you compose? 5/5 im subscribing

[supeross2]

Francisco, What can I say, But yet Another epic tune. Dude you have talent.

[franciscomeza11]

@supeross2 thanks so much... there is a new tune posted last week called Until Another Day, check the video in my channel, I will be posting a new video tonight or tomorrow (new metal track)

[squeaky92]

this is awesome! almost reminds me of DT's Train Of Thought days mixed with some Opeth.

[yonswidow]

probablemente tu mejor canción... me ha gustado mucho

[guitarplayer6262]

hey dude, is there any way you can post an mp3 of this song, would love to put it on my ipod.

Thanks Francisco

[GGTopGuitarist]

sounds very influenced by Opeth to me and petrucci in the inro.. 5 out of 5!

The drums sound awesome! are they recorded or software?

[franciscomeza11]

thank you, software

[kbkbabbie]

I always wonder what scales you use in your songs. They sound so... epic. It's very cool. Can you tell me the scales/modes of this song?

[franciscomeza11]

thanks man, but I don't lie when I say I have no f'ing clue what I am doing. I just play what I feel, sounds cheesy, but really, I have no clue, I just go for i

[Xallia621]

lol story of my life. I've never taken a guitar lesson so I have no clue how to read music. I just rock it out and let the beauty unfold. It's the best way to write, in my opinion.

[SkyDelta52]

How long did it take you to make just this song? just wondering..its a masterpiece. 5 out of 5 bro.

[franciscomeza11]

thank you, it takes me 2 months or so

[aggguy666]

paco eres bien chingon mexico te ama jajaja siguele asi espero elgun dia compartir un escenario contigo compa

[JuanchoC2112]

Increible! Te felicito. El temas esta compuesto enteramente por vos?

[franciscomeza11]

gracias, si, todo lo hago yo

[gama0077]

Simplemente Impresionante tu video es muy bueno me gusta tu trabajo sige asi^^

[ibanezplayer147]

I love how in all your videos, if you watch the first part its just guitar and bass and then you get to the middle and there are like 6 different boxes on the screen :)

[TormentoftheDahaka]

Absolutely astonshing, sir...

By all means... Very, very inspiring...

I give the utmost respect, as another aspiring musician, and a fan...

Best of luck to you [though I feel you don't quite need it, with such skill] and I wish you great success.

-Keanue

[franciscomeza11]

thanks a lot, glad you liked it

[luisassing]

Franco esta arrechisimo este tema!

[franciscomeza11]

gracias flaco

[YoutoobHatesRyan]

WOW... SO complex and wonderful... Once again EXCELLENT job.. You are a master and should be playing sold out arenas.

[sl4zhz]

Hi dude, you really done a great job. amazing composition. unique. 5 star for you. one thing that I disappointed was the drum track. It's sound very MIDI kind. You may try Supperior drummer. it's far more than EZ drummer. keep on rockin

Cheers

[thumbvideos123]

awesome song!

you have two ernie ball music man john petruccis?

[franciscomeza11]

thanks, yes i do

[AcousticPhases]

kick'n I was at awe with your masterful guitar licks and composition.

[tspum]

It is just another master piece. So brillant. So beautiful.

Thanks you very much

[rusty04828]

that is just brilliant. so much respect to you dude

[WhitewaterDrummer]

Coolest thing just happened while watching this. I left the TV on and right as the guitar part at 6:25 started, parts of some Obama's speeches started playing on the T.V. It was like syncing dark side of the moon with wizard of oz. And when the next riff started the people on the show started talking about political unrest.

[thepolishbikeride]

you get such great tones out of your equiptment. i love it.

[RuffRaider69]

men you are such an inspiration to me x)

[edityourgrandma]

Really, really cool! Did you do the bass and drums for this as well?

[franciscomeza11]

thanks i do everything myself

[metallicafan1129]

is this song avalible on itunes  b/c i definetly want this on my ipod

[franciscomeza11]

Hi thanks it is not on itunes yet as I am still slowly writing a follow up album, you can get my first album "innocence of insanity" on itunes or amazon for less than 8 bucks

[1bladlus]

Incredible..

[SpankingDuck]

AWESOME! what a fantastic song... it blows my mind how awesome it is :P

[panoskira]

wow eres una gran inspiracion, me dieron ganas de tomar la guitarra. Voy a comprar tu musica definitivamente :)

[franciscomeza11]

gracias!!! el disco esta disponible en mexico via paypal mexico, puedes pagar en pesos mexicanos (120 pesos), para mas informacion preguntame, saludos

[jmdb1994]

y para venezuela? :(

[franciscomeza11]

Lamentablemente por el problema de los dolares nadie puede adquirir mi disco a menos que tengas una tarjeta de cred con cupo de dolares y lo compres via paypal saludos

[ronlur66]

si mi pana q peo aqui con eso, y coño yo quiero comprar tu disco!! no tienes a alguien q uno le pague el dinero en bolivares aqui y te de los temas en mp3?? saludos desde maracay!

[davidson2354]

this song is pretty intense.. i worked your heart out and your soul in the song.. its noticable.. i wonder what is about...

ur amazing.. love the song

[davidson2354]

*you worked

[deathrocker0666]

so sexy

[taztherocker]

Awesome...

[guitarplayer6262]

love this song dude. one of my favorites

[o0oWizKido0o]

i think wat rily attracts me 2 ur music is the fact that it's instrumental. My favorite guitarist is Paul Gilbert and 99.99% of his music is pure instrumental. he focuses on crazy licks though, and your sound is more mellow, then crazy, then mellow again, ur music fits the titles u give it. imma buy ur CD so u can become a hit out here n California... i think u wuld attract a pretty diverse crowd out here. XD

[franciscomeza11]

thank you for the support, please do spread the word, the album is available on Itunes and Amazon for you in the US, for only 7.92

[betty0102036]

gracias, pero no cuento con tarjeta de credito, es una lastima por que esta buenisima tu musica, te felicito, y mucha suerte

[betty0102036]

y donde se consigue tu trabajo

[franciscomeza11]

gracias por preguntar, en latinoamerica lamentablemnte no funciona Itunes o Amazon asi que la unica forma es a travez de pago via PAYPAL, mandando $8 a innocenceofinsanity @ gmail . com recibiras el album en mp3's y el arte del disco por si tu quieres imprimirlo, saludos

[MrZombow]

Awesome it was an adventure to listen too, beautiful, heavy, crazy solos, the song got everything, and it rocks hard

[julianlop77]

listo lo voy a hacer, y una pregunta, de donde sos?

[franciscomeza11]

venezolano

[julianlop77]

Que chimba parcero, sos un monstruo te felicito.

[franciscomeza11]

gracias por ver este video, asegurate de chequear los otros que son parte de mi primer disco, Innocence of Insanity

[victormendoza871]

dude i gotta tell you this stuff u got here blows my mind..im gonna buy your cd

[Xallia621]

I'm not entirely sure when I'll get this song recorded, so I just wanted to mention it now in case you might be interested. You are influenced by every band that influences me, namely Dream Theater, so I know you'll compliment my playing style very well. Anyway, let me know if you're interested and I'll keep in touch with you about it over time. Keep rockin', good friend.

[Xallia621]

Please tell me you have a second song on the way from the new material you're working on lol. I'm not sure I can handle the suspense of waiting for new songs anymore! lol. By the way, I would like to possibly callaborate something with you someday. I am working on my solo album, "In the Wake of Storms and Shadows" and may have a track, currently unrecorded, that I would be honored to have your write a solo or two for, along with the solos I have written. So a trade-off routine.

[DimitrisPrasakis]

Good job ;)

[heyemee]

las guitarras las conectas directamente en la pc?

entonces los efectos, distorcion y eso se lo das desde la pc con programas, sin pedaleras y cosas asi ? :O

[franciscomeza11]

por favor lee la descripcion, yo uso el guitar port de line 6

[miguelDman]

This is pure awsomeness, Im thinking of buying the album.

By the way, Did you connect your guitars to the pc in some way? Cause the sounds doesnt look like its coming out from amps

[franciscomeza11]

thank you, i record using the guitar port from line 6, no amps

[louevil555]

this is a sweet jam. the way you layer your guitars is fuckin amazing. it reminds me of old metallica instrumental songs. i like your style for sure bro

[franciscomeza11]

thanks for watching!

[ArchRivalNeo]

Epic! 6 stars (outta 5) (Y)(Y)

[TheRapidFire94]

Your solo's are a big influence(Y):)

[LeutenantSolidSnake]

You're a pretty sick bassist too!

[LeutenantSolidSnake]

This is much better than the crap that gets spit out onto iTunes everyday. I shall save for this album.

[franciscomeza11]

thanks again man, good news it is only 7.92 or 99 cents per song

[cmorrow132]

At 5:39, why does it sound like 2 guitars? Is it just the effect you're using on it?

[franciscomeza11]

as the video shows, there are 3 guitars (first square is the acoustic sound that comes from the piezo pickups of the electric guitar, then an arpegio guitar arrangement below and then the solo in the centre, the solo has a lot of delay so when I do the natural harmonics it gives this sort of feeling there are multiple guitars doing harmonies)

[l00t1]

You should be in the top charts!

[cmorrow132]

Yeah, on the lead part it sounds like a harmonized section right at that part. I was watching the other 2 guitars, and didn't see anything on those that might have the guitar in the larger section sound that way.

[jmdb1994]

what is the name of your second album?

[franciscomeza11]

it has no name yet because it is still being written

[jmdb1994]

mmm... ok... i like too much this song.. ure a big musician..!!

[metsat8ll]

okay, at first i came to see the megadeth covers, but then i saw this... i hope the other stuff on your next album sounds as evil as this one. this goes into my favourites!

[CrisTucker]

Im picking up some Petrucci and definitely some Satriani

[Fmso90]

Great song!!! you are a great guitar player

[xBleedingSkies]

I love it, its inspires me! Question though, the solo at 8:35, I believe its also in The madness within, was this on purpose?

[franciscomeza11]

thanks, yes it is on purpose, I re-orchestrated it but the melody is the same

[uwesoma]

This song's fucking great!! Why do I have to pay for downloading it??

[franciscomeza11]

thanks... but sorry, you are asking WHY you have to pay?

anyway, the track is not available as it will be released with my second album sometime next year

but really, are you asking why you have to pay?

[Bowtome09]

cuz its his copyrighted song and ppl will buy it so he can make money...

[LeutenantSolidSnake]

Yeah and get new stuff so he can write better stuff

[Bowtome09]

U probably dont really realize it, but on top of being an amazing guitar player u are a bad ass bassist, good luck ill probably be getting ur album

[franciscomeza11]

I appreciate your comments, thanks for watching, hope you do get my current album Innocence of Insanity, I need to support to continue working for the next album

[SamboraCrazed]

im not asking for tabs but u have said in your previuos videos that you do not write tabs.. how do you manage to remember such epic songs??

love the originallss and the covers uv inspired me to make my own album.. wont be as good tho =]

rock on!

[franciscomeza11]

hi, I just sit down a few minutes and re-learn it by ear if I don't remember something

Good luck making your album, let me know... i hope you get mine

[LilFarrellyJunior]

yeah.. how much is the whole album im very interested in buying it?

and thanks iv currently written 2 :) its nice to see someone as good as you taking an intrest in someone elses own work =]

[franciscomeza11]

Innocence of Insanity is only $7.92 on Itunes and Amazon, it has 8 tracks

[Bowtome09]

Im not as good as francisco but Im pretty good, and Im writing my own album, its called frozen flame. I have already written the title track and another track, I am writing another song called Darkness now.,

[SamboraCrazed]

yeha its pretty hard to be as good as him :)

ive written a couple and i've almost finnished writing my epic song "Internally Bleeding" quite simple to innocense of insanity to be honest but never mind =]

good luck with your album .. if you upload them send them to me id be glad to have a listen =]

[Tubble06]

it's so nice! can you tell me what's the model of your guitar please?

[franciscomeza11]

thank you very much, please read the description

[MixmaxArenaFreak110]

Good song, I like your slower solos more than your faster ones, but the shredding stuff is cool, too!

[manicmetropolis]

are you using an eight string guitar?

[franciscomeza11]

7 string guitar

[TheRapidFire94]

I've been looking at your rhythm as well. It's no ordinary rhythm, it's like different, i don't know how to explain it.. hopefully you know what i mean. In rage and pain especially there's this bit i just love, the rhythm is so.. ownage hahaha..

[TheRapidFire94]

There's a feel in the melody of 5:01 I can't describe.. it reminds me of something..

[franciscomeza11]

that's inspired by Opeth, funny thing is that the part right after that at 5:32 is inspired by Toto and their song Africa... i mean, talk about opposites... lol

[darkahnubis]

the whole song might as well be inspired by Opeth, since it's close to 10:00 long! and thats not a bad thing at all! since Opeth is my all time favorite band. lol but honestly, ur doing an awesome job with all your guitar playings! i've been very much inspired! thank you!

[GuitarFinland]

Why did you used your Ibanez in one solo? To get different sound perhapse?

[franciscomeza11]

hi, not really, i did it because i didn;t want to abuse on the tremolo of my expensive Musica Man John Petrucci, I prefered to abused the floyd of my Ibanez :)

[OrionsFangs]

section at 8min36 and on the madness within at 2min29 are sensibly the same isn't it ?

[franciscomeza11]

yes they are purposely the same with some difference. the tempo on unexpected is a bit slower, and one of the guitars if doing a similar pattern donde by the piano section at the end of the madness within. I purposely wanted to revisit that section of madness within with a different orquestration yet with the same melody/solo

[PEPELUPESLUPES]

ta kon toda su madre esta we !!

y tu inche farjerus

deja de andar diciecdote pendejadas !!!

jajajajajajajajaja

chiste local

cuidate meza !!

[farjerus]

wow, sorprendente como siempre, solamente una cosa ke note eske en el min 8:37 empiezas a tocar parte del solo de la de the madness within ke empieza en el min 2:37 xD y sigues con el mismo solo hasta 9:00 pero igual suena bien, namas eso de ke te repitas a ti mismo no es algo kreo bien visto por ke podrian pensar ke careces de originalidad y pos la vdd kreo ke tienes mucha originalidad, namas un consejo digo yo xD

sigue rockeando \m/

[franciscomeza11]

no es repetirme, es re-orquestrar y revisitar algo propio, todo tiene un proposito, eso es algo que se hace mucho en la musica progresiva, Dream Theater se repite a si mismo hasta en el mismo disco

[farjerus]

hmm ya veo, algo asi como regresar "a los buenos tiempos" por asi decir, o me ekivoko¿

[thumbvideos123]

really awesome and cool!! i love every great composition by you! wish i had a bass and could get drums in. maybe i'll record my band's drummer, but all i've got is a computer mic.

[TheSound0fTruth26]

Man I love this. Seriously

[alecs998]

if you still like dream theater (i have no clue why you wouldnt) theres someone that does really awesome covers his name is vpxmfncl

[TheRapidFire94]

By the way, what is the tuning of this song?

[franciscomeza11]

standard tuning, but notice it is a 7 string guitar... the 7th string is a B
