[@StricklandAssistantManager]

You haven't answered my question regarding propane. Would you ever consider a propane powered amp?

[@SYNKarnage]

Answer the mans god dang question!

[@ESPspiderXIII]

I second Mr. Hanks' question; BUMP UP.

[@williambratton2010]

Won’t answer your question? That boy ain’t right.

[@woodward_alan]

Bump

[@ryanschindler923]

I tell ya what...

[@LeeJoRo]

I came here to chill and have a good time, now I'm shopping online for fire extinguishers. You may have saved a lot of lives

[@russellzauner]

That's better than the last video, I went shopping for golf carts only to find out you must be a special guy to drive them around jamming because my local constabulary was like FUCK NOT A CHANCE DUDEBRO

[@deeforty]

Keith merrow is a fucking hero like..... Can't stop blasting his riffs, modern day riff master, for sure.

[@Gosling_dkc]

Dude... wish I lived in the north west. My 5 year old boy loves your riffs and studio. Said the other night, "daddy, his lights and room looks like yours. He is a real person in real life that we can be friends with." 5 year olds... lol. He picks up his little first act guitar every time I watch your stuff. Keep on keep'n on man.

[@diminishedgtr]

Leon with the Wild Hunt T-shirt! Hell yes!

[@omramoryth]

These videos always make me want to pick up my guitar. Especially the riff section. Now I am jamming some Obituary for the past half an hour.

[@FuzzImp]

Dude! Thanks Keith for the pedal love. I like pedals a lot. been tryna collect as many as I can afford

[@wakjob961]

I don't care how often these videos come out... just keep up this level of quality! ;-)

[@Rivalspin]

Your relationship with your wife is just pure awesomeness!

[@rasmuslaurberghansen8484]

Hi Keith, as far as I know you also like a fair share of black metal right? Could we have some of that on Sick Riff Worship? What are you favorite bands in that genre past and present? Thanks for all the inspiration over the years dude!

[@scottiscott4948]

I do not know which I am more envious of your awesome wife or your Rad studio. Very cool episode Kieth. You two make an awesome pair. Congrats

[@russellzauner]

The last show I bought tickets to was the Claypool Lennon Delirium at the Oregon Zoo.

[@swingthestatue]

Hey Keith, any chance we could get a mix walkthrough for any of your tunes? Would be really cool to see what you use on your 2-bus and how you mix those crushing guitar tones.

[@seanmontatsky1866]

This is the only Q&A video series that I legit look forward to watching 🤘

[@evolagenda]

same

[@penguinfrogman]

Okay Keith my question for you is, Even though you are a fishman guy now, What was your favorite pickup you designed with Seymour Duncan?

[@Theenragedone]

I'd like to add to that question. What is the list of pick ups Keith designed with Seymour Duncan, and which one is his favorite?

[@penguinfrogman]

@@Theenragedone I believe the Pegasus, Nazgul, Sentient, Black Winter Set, Active Jeff Loomis Set.

[@Handsofakiller19]

He helped Mark Holcomb with his Alpha/Omega set as well.

[@SuffyANX]

I'd have to imagine the Nazgul or Sentient, since those are the ones in his first gen signature guitars, but I may be wrong.

[@Theenragedone]

There are at least 3. I've owned Black Winters, and The Sentient set. Which I really enjoyed, until I got the KM Fishmans.

[@jaredt3985]

Another great vid Kieth, you’re easily one of my favorite guitarists out there. My question for you is have you or would you ever consider doing a series or a masterclass on how you approach songwriting? To my ears you do a really phenomenal job combining old school and modern styles of metal in your songs, and I find your chord progressions and embellishments really cool and unique. It would be pretty kick ass to get a deep look in to your process.

[@stickit1168]

Hey Keith, absolutely killing it with the new format! What do you think about doing a segment on some recording tips?

[@paulosalgado9171]

Awesome video!

[@kidder83]

Came for guitars, stayed for two buds bein buds. Love seeing love

[@SymbioticTomorrow]

Awesome episode 👍

[@bradhargis2261]

Your wife sounds like a down to earth southern girl. Haha her mannerisms made me laugh the whole time.

[@sethgross3904]

Leon! Is there ever gonna be more impaled stuff? I’ve had my mdf ticket for like three years at this point. Stoked to see impaled finally!

[@pointymason]

Hey Keith! Longtime viewer and subscriber here, have been loving the new content lately! Question for you - Would you consider releasing Tabs for your older albums/projects (Demisery, Awaken The Stone King etc) as books on Sheet Happens?

[@anthonystark9390]

Fun fact, amazon boxes are tape that is designed to be torn by hand, no knife needed. That's what's the little stringys are after you do that.

[@CWRobinsonMusic]

Dang ad right in the middle of the sick “Sick! Riff! Worship!”

[@ESPspiderXIII]

Agreed. The interruptions need to stop during SICK! RIFF! WORSHIP!

[@andro_dunn1198]

I had totally forgot about battletoads!! Loved that damn game

[@yellowdudewithedibleshorts]

Hi Keith. Can you show us how do you record bass? If you can detail as much as you can would be sick. String gauge, crossover frequencies when parallel mixing, etc. Thanks dude.

[@telecasteroil]

Keith , Coolest show ever and your wife rocks 🎸 😎 This changed the way I see colors..

[@maelz]

I was at that day on the green too, great show, the crowd ripped up the grass and threw it in the air. Looked like a swarm of flies from the bleachers

[@delmuerte]

Yes!! There was a huge brown cloud of dust from everyone ripping up the AstroTurf before Metallica. I remember you had to have a wristband to get into the pit, too. Oh, and that the big pit was diamond shaped.

[@peehandshihtzu]

One of my favorite new things to watch. :) \M/

[@protolexis]

Keith, another siqq video my dude! One question: can I get an ID on those 2 shaded lamps you got? They’re so nice.

[@MarsMedia2022]

Hey bro! Can we get some more info and reviews on them mwk pedals? That lonely ghost sounds like exactly what i need. Cheers for the content and sick riffege mate ✌

[@russellzauner]

Internet Guy: MY NEW PEDAL Pedal: *behind Revv pedals and a new Revv amp*

[@martin42382]

Hey Keith! Great vid! One question, ever going to do a computer setup demo?

[@Obsession225]

Hey Keith, how do you go about naming your songs and how long did you spend the most for figuring out a name for a song?

[@Dustinchugs]

Loving the videos bro! Got a question for you, I've been experimenting with string gauges for years now, and I own your MKII model. What gauges would you recommend for drop A# on a 6?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Ayyyye, go 'head, girl, with yo wifey riffs 😍😂 And when are you going to leak some new _Conquering_ music, Keith?

[@jbasti227]

10:20 that’s love

[@decendguitars]

First metal show was Obituary (cause of death tour) with Cannibal Corpse in Santa Barbara. Sick!

[@Adam1349]

If you could write music or do sound design for any TV, movie, or video game series, which one would it be and why?

[@Shamrock0991]

Got my custom crissaegrim last week and it is amazing. Looking to get my lonely ghost next. Thanks for the heads up last time. Dude knows his shit 🤘🏼

[@chaosjames78]

Man I can’t find his pedal company anywhere! Super interested though any help?

[@Shamrock0991]

James Doll look up Michael Kline on Instagram

[@riffrigerator540]

Hey Keith! Do you prefer the g3 or the g4 rev pedal and why?

[@bartenderofhell]

Get the fck out of my studio and order some pizzas!! Hahahahhaha EPIC 🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👌🏻

[@dsrecords22]

How do you balance clarity with distortion on your chords?

[@TheKeyOfAnarkh]

Karnath is one of the most underrated bosses in gaming. Nostalgia is real. Maybe next time 🤘 😂 wish I found your vids earlier, dude. Love the tunes, gear and chill. 🤜🤛

[@gabrielcarpenter6770]

thats how i picked albums too the more gory, bloody, and just sick looking album covers i would buy them i still remembered seeing ACDC jailbreak with angus young and bon scott was stabbing him with his sg guitar and i was blown away by that image. battletoads epic game played on nes system back in the days... stay safe

[@LeoMetalTraveler]

Leon whats up man! it’s leo from San Francisco good to see you here! any plans on having a live stream either playing or just talking?

[@delmuerte]

I dunno! We're still feeling stuff out. Nice to see you, buddy! Was just talking about you the other day with Adam.

[@LeoMetalTraveler]

@@delmuerte he texted me a few days ago we use to jam terrorizer tunes in his studio he is a sick drummer ,I'm going to stay tuned and watch all the videos you guys put out that Murder Construct song you played on the previous video was sick!!!!!!!!!

[@NoCantsAllowed]

Losing it over "crack cocaine", best ep. yet! Haha!

[@HighGainsDrifter]

I'd like to see a budget rig video. Like if you had $500, $1000, etc. From start to small gigging perhaps? Love these videos, you're chill af

[@russellzauner]

"To many eyeballs all problems are shallow" :-)

[@damiengould8420]

OLA WAS RIGHT! killer zhit bro🤘

[@v.1triol]

@Keith Merrow what Nike's are those?

[@kolyo2588]

With all the gear you have tried over the years, if you would have to choose , which 3 pieces of gear would you pick for a live performance?

[@nemojob666]

Hi Keith, what's your favourite album that Ola has played on?

[@VictorAnselm0]

Hey Keith,loving these kind of videos!! Question: have you and Ola discussed making music together in the recent years? Cheers 🤘🏻

[@nickwilliams3316]

I’ve heard you mention your 5150 is modded in other videos. What modifications have been done to it?

[@revsharp777]

Instant awesome points for OBITUARY. Cause of Death is still one of the greatest death metal albums ever. Groove city!

[@KadintheGuitarDude]

WIFE RIFFS 🔥🤘

[@jesperbc]

How come episode 3 and 4 aren't available to me? I can only watch them switching my VPN to North America...

[@theplague1]

How do i get the lonely ghost pedal? I looked online with no luck.

[@RichardCupalMusic]

As someone that did a shitty cover of Piilars of Creation back in the day (holy shit, 8 years ago) do you ever get tired of hearing people cover or gush all over this particular song? I personally still think its a banger but, I can only imagine how you feel about it. Much love from Olympia WA 🤘

[@yungstaben7675]

I still play that riff to this day. So sick.

[@Jakezor]

I vote for an upcoming segment/bit/content of Mrs Merrow (sorry didn't catch if you said her first name) vs Louse in something!

[@HunterRouth]

"Wife Riffs" was the best. She seems like an amazing woman. Momma Merrow. \m/

[@fabianthio4011]

Keith, I see that u have a pretty huge collection of amps at ur studio. Amongst those, which 3 is ur top 3 favorite amps of all time?

[@thedanksavatron7782]

Nissssssssssssssssssce 🦑 What's ur guilty pleasure band or genre of music??? Keep on keeping on brother 🎸

[@gabrielsmith7516]

Any plans for any other signature gear? Pedal, amp, something with neural?

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

Hey Keith, really enjoying the videos. I’m not a guitar player, I’m a singer and studio owner. If I were to get one decent guitar to have in the studio, what do you think is more universally usable....active pick ups or passive pick ups ?? Thanks man.

[@Splooka]

Hey Keith, quick question, I have been into metal since I was 13 (I'm 28 now), everything from Folk Metal to deathcore but I was too young when I started to appreciate deathmetal so I missed a huge chunk of amazing metal. For the past 2 years I've been going through a serious TechDeath phase and that has made me want to start my deathmetal journey, in your opinion, what are the top 5 (or what ever number) death metal albums that a person has to listen to in their lifetime? Thanks! love the content.

[@joyburn]

Hey Keith, what would you say is the most important piece of guitar-playing knowledge that you have learned throughout the years? Is there any one thing that you would attribute to having the greatest impact on your improvement as a guitar player? Thanks!

[@pt8175]

Does Michael W. Klein Audio Designs have a website, Reverb store, or any contact info for the public to buy pedals from him?

[@ColdShadeShi]

Glad You're back to the front, bro'; there was lack of metal contents on KZbin without You. I'm here since the EMG vs Seymour Duncan video; ja, long time ago... then, I have an Agile with Blackouts. Question for You, because no one is talking about it... and this is a shame: what do You think about Ulcerate?

[@petertoth9308]

Hey Keith! My question is, what drum samples do you use? Sounds so great. Have a nice weekend. Cheers from Hungary. \m/

[@crowdkillproductions.]

Can you do a video of the pros and cons of playing guitar through a bass amp? Even with a bass amp through a guitar cab. If not thats ok.

[@NatureandSpirit111]

What if those lights could activate and turn on when you hit a chord like when your chugging? That would be great with some Exhorder or Obituary’s Final Thoughts! 🤘🏻

[@kylemcguffin]

Thoughts and opinions on ESP (MIJ) guitars?

[@ordinarypablo]

Can you play all the amps at the same time

[@defsantiago]

💛🧡💛🧡 GOLD Revv G2 overdrive pedal at 12:00 YAAAASS! 💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛 ...p.s., the G2 it sounds better then the way he has it dialed in for this video. I think he’s going for that old school Obituary distortion tone. The G2 is a medium gain pedal and DEFINITELY not really made for metal. But whatever. I dig mine. he can dial his in however he wants to. Lol #RevvG2GOLD

[@leonardobucci6801]

Does your room have professional acoustic treatment, or not? I like the design and lighting

[@jordanols]

Keith, this episode was great! My question for you is, do you ever listen to or play any musical genres other than metal in your downtime? I notice you slip in little jazzy sections during question time etc so I would assume you listen to other genres.

[@vtpmusicandart]

I love the dislike bell at the end of the video, that doesn't do shit for wisdom or knowledge, just makes me laugh... or maybe that's the wisdom and knowledge... keep it up man my homie and I love what you do and it inspires us in our musical endeavours. Vincent from Phoenix

[@dis.infectant]

For a band who wrote drop tuned riffs... It is strange Obituary played in standard. Am I wrong?

[@medovik13]

Еееееееее!!!🤘🔥🤘👍👍👍

[@russellzauner]

BattleToads dash move = Bad Dudes back elbow You just have to keep playing until you finish the game. There are no tricks, you just have to get good...

[@XxDavidxXPantera]

Can Leon be in every episode? thanks

[@delmuerte]

I'll try, haha

[@SYNKarnage]

Local Swedish band who didn't get enough recognition? Fucking SCARPOINT!

[@xseilerx]

Controversy aside... always liked your BRJs. More controversy aside... I also liked your Vik that you used to have. haha :P I'll get one of your badass controversy-free Schecter sigs one of these days. ;-)

[@andrewdavis9980]

We have the same problem, our wives are way fucking cooler than we’ll ever be.

[@BobbyPVZ]

Ola Señor Merrow .. what is your opinion about Aliens \ extraterrestrial life .. ?! Lv from Portugal long time fan

[@jason96G]

Hey Keith, what do you think about the influx of metal bands coming out of California/Canada? Do you think it's a difference in culture that makes these places breeding grounds for metal artists?

[@GMHG777]

Trumpet shredding is definitely a lost art, just ask Miles, oh wait...

[@SmokeChannels]

Candy or not, did anyone call you joyously to talk about your acquisition? Revv is dope, I just ordered a science amplifier, revv was close behind. Stereo rig needed. I've seen reviews of the revv pedals, in your honest opinion how do they stack up against the amps? Can't compare to a tube tone, would like your assessment.

[@pzkpfw6864]

Necrophobic shirt for the win.

[@imdartson3679]

My question...on a scale of Revocation to Sleep, how high were you during the filming of this? Also, favorite Morbid Angel album?

[@diegoignacio4923]

Keith, what about some wife's riff challenge? You and Ola put a riff , and your loved ones try to play it...haha. Now the real question. As a Black Sabbath fan, do you like any song or album besides de Ozzy, Dio era?? Cheers from Argentina!!

[@MrDaoJones]

Yo Keith, do you play PC games? If so, what are you into?

[@blakecurtis7809]

Can you ask Leon if IMPALED is releasing anything this year? Thanks.

[@delmuerte]

Not this year, sorry!

[@MetalDeth777]

Making this question personal since you know Kyle: Favorite Vitriol Song?

[@metalbalder]

what the heck with alluvial, and conquring dystopia !! ?? XD that´s my question :)

[@palukens]

?KM What is your favorite Grandpa style guitar?

[@alreadyfuktup672]

I know the main focus was on Peres' riff....but goddamn James Murphy fucking destroyed on that album.
