@@4GMRocks Same here. I bought one almost immediately for my two main guitars at the time and haven't looked back. Haven't had the funds to completely retrofit, but it's on the list for sure.
You know a riff is brilliant when after hearing it 943583021 times while going through the pickup demos it STILL KICKS YOUR ASS. Also, this is just a textbook on how to make good proggy/technical metal. Just the right balance of complex and headbangable. Brilliant.
They all show interest but check Keith faq he talked about it. He says that working in the same room as Jeff was so efficient for the first album that they both want to wait a time where they’ll be able to do that and focus rather than working from across the world
Fell asleep to it blasting the demo in my earphones every night for like a month straight several years back. So damn soothing and hypnotizing. Just puts my brain in the forget about everything zone as I drift off. 👊💪🤘
Has it been 15 years now? I remember the first time I heard this song it altered my view on riffing altogether. Was a good day discovering your channel back then. I miss all the content.
Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow are a huge reason I got a 7 string Schecter over a year ago. I’m still trying to locate the switch that makes me sound as good as them 😂.
Some of THE BEST riffs ever written are in this piece! I remember being floored when I heard this the first time, many years ago. I probably played the whole thing at least 5 times through before immideatly resesrching the rest of Keiths catalogue, and downloading the zip-files from his page. 😂 🤘😝
it’s impossible to hear this song and not feel like you are ready to blast through the very gates of hades with thors hammer in hand. All the yes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Still remains a musical masterpiece and one of my favorite songs ever! It's inspired me in many different ways, both in art and in life since I heard it the first time! Much love
nice to know you live just up the road from me... though, I doubt this Covid b.s. will ever end... would be nice to see you perform in person. I bought your signature KM3 yesterday from Guitar Center, and learning all about your signature Fluence pick-ups... thanks for your gift.
cheers from Texas! 🤘😎🤘 ...just watched you do Coffee With Ola! great interview! It doesn't matter when songs/riffs were written. the good ones keep the waves going! Enjoy the ride! M PS Keep in mind, it's brand new EVERY time a new set of ears hears it!
Wow. 15 years old song. This was first of ur songs which i ever heard from you and instantly i smashed that subscribe button. Ever since i have been following your work and time to time i go whatch your older videos because why not. Your music is super good. I even remember when i discovered your music and cant believe its aölready 15 years old. Damn im old.
@@Naircol im glad that people recognize the talent of Mr Keith Merrow to this point , but that didn't change the fact that you must be a young little boy to say that hahahahahha , im just kidding you have the right to like whatever you want i just felt a little too much for "the best riff ever created" hahahaha even merrow will say that he have a lot of good songs than this one , sorry
Well I'm like 10 years late to the party but I like your music enough too go out of my way to make sure my first seven string was your signature and I LOVe ❤️ it! Also learning this song is hard but giving me many promising reasons to pick up the guitar every day. Thanks for your music 🎶
I remember downloading this album off sevenstring.org and being blown away, particularly by this song. Great to see how far music has taken you. Those KM7s are killer guitars too.
I fucking love this riff
here are the tabs for you:
0-3-5 0-3-6-5
Haha you have good taste bro, i shouldn't judge it with ur guitar skills mb 🙃
@@jorgexzavier8309 i care how much money they pay you
@@shinolight3685 yeh righto mate, this song is so fucking technical, ive tackled learning it myself, so many little details, not for noobs
@shinolight3685 not sure if trolling or handicapped
My mind was waiting for the sound to change with the different Seymour Duncan pickups......Awesome song as always!
SAME HERE!!
hahahahaha
Haha so true
@@franzmaurer7108 same... curious...which 2 did you like the most of the Duncan's demo he did? The metal version vid lol.
@@underthethrone668 The Duncan Custom SH-5 has been a fovorite of mine for years. I use a 300k pot with them. I really don't have a number 2 choice.

I miss the demos and songs on this channel.
Yeah me too I was super eager to see a notification everytime.
just Keith been a successful busy dude I guess :)
$$$$$$$
Quality over quantity my friend patience:-)
Now hes got a signature schecter, Almost like seeing a childhood best friend get famous and not have enough time for the gang anymore
This track will always be TIMELESS.
Brings back good memories though, RIFFS LIVE FOREVER!
Thanks Keith!
still, this song.... still the best

Absolutely! I think it's required by law to bob your head and put on a stank face when the main groove kicks in.
We need Conquering Dystopia
If only Jeff Loomis, and the Alex twins (Rudinger and Webster) show any interest as well... 👍
They all show interest but check Keith faq he talked about it. He says that working in the same room as Jeff was so efficient for the first album that they both want to wait a time where they’ll be able to do that and focus rather than working from across the world
This is a masterpiece ❤.... I wish the world knew how amazing Keith Merrow is
The Seymour Duncan demos that made me discover your music.
Doesn't feel like it's been 6 years, sir...
+1 I NEEDED to find out who wrote this towering monstrosity of a song
Fell asleep to it blasting the demo in my earphones every night for like a month straight several years back. So damn soothing and hypnotizing. Just puts my brain in the forget about everything zone as I drift off. 👊💪🤘
Keith Merrow - Legend 🎸
Ah, that snarling Merrow tone 😍😍😍
Live this tune! Bought a 7 string just to learn it! 👍
What kind did you get
Has it been 15 years now? I remember the first time I heard this song it altered my view on riffing altogether. Was a good day discovering your channel back then. I miss all the content.
Syzygy speaks TRVE
The best is back, when we need him!
Stay safe and hands-cleaned! The only infection we need now must come from your amazing playing! 🤘🏻❤️
He's got the cleanest hands in metal
KaldDodeGitarist no doubt about it! 🤘🏻
But that tone is fucking filthy

Love this composition❤❤❤
This is the tune that convinced me to buy a 7 string. Such an amazing tune.
My fav song! I've been so pleased to visit your master class in Saint-P. Thank you for the show, our conversation and the pick gift! \m/
it’s impossible to hear this song and not feel like you are ready to blast through the very gates of hades with thors hammer in hand. All the yes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve always loved this song. Super fun and groovy to play
RIFF ICON!
Still remains a musical masterpiece and one of my favorite songs ever! It's inspired me in many different ways, both in art and in life since I heard it the first time!
Much love
Ohhooo ... good times and memories this song is to me... yeeeah! Thank you Keith!
SICK !!
Yes!! The world needs more Merrow/Loomis!!
Amazing job Keith! This was the first song ever to make me pick up a 7 string guitar when i heard it years ago! I'm glad to see how far you've come!
Honestly same i bought a 7 string because of this song
@@vformarallo Me too... KM-7...
SUCH great riffs. Never get tired of it.
You and Jeff Loomis will always be my favs. Thank you !
The best metal song of all times for 7 strings guitar along with Heart of the Sea Nymph. Big respect to Maestro Keith Merrow
This has got to be amongst the sickest 7 string riffs out there 🤘
fuck me that verse goes so goddamn hard
coming for nostalgia, found im still subscribed
OMG your sound... expecially at 0:31 on these open strings.. so agressive !
This is your best interpretation of this song imo
Dude you absolutely just crush and knock shit out of the park every time.
I've loved this riff for so many years
Awesome tune. Badass KM ... love the white pups on white

Keep in mind, it's brand new EVERY time a new set of ears hears it!
By that performance, you can tell his hands are clean! So clean!
Metal Forever!!!!!
The man and song that completely changed my musical trajectory. My most influential musician of the last decade.
15 years old but still smashes it. Btw, I bought his Km7 MIII and it's literally the best guitar I own. Thanks Keith, keep it up.
Amazing, as always to see anything Merrow. But when do we get a new “morning coffee”???
Riffs! Fecking Riffs!!
We need a new Coffee Q&A and a studio tour!!
And all these years I love this song so much... Maaaan!
Keith is a gem. I have repected this man for a long time. Guitar tone is always great.
Ah.... this again. I needed it.
