A vote for YES when it comes to an audio / video / gaming PC build video.

[@ilu9033]

YES, we need this

[@KeithMerrow]

I'm totally down, I just need to find some sponsors to fund the build so I can give it away after.

[@ilu9033]

@@KeithMerrow Now this just got exciting

[@Theenragedone]

That is a massive yes for PC builds. You love doing them, and it would be fun.

[@kow294]

Yess!!

[@darryl.spivey]

Maybe Keith and Linus tech tips should do a collab on a speced out custom PC dedicated to Audio, video and gaming. I'm sure Linus out be into it 👀

[@KeithMerrow]

Tell him, I'd love to.

[@syzygy2464]

Linus is sick. That would be cool as hell.

[@bassmonsteradsit7160]

That would be SICK!!

[@shikharbajracharya2421]

YES on the PC build. I've been a Mac user for a long time, but I love building PC's and it would be a fun activity for my stepkid and I while the world goes insane. Thank you!

[@WildWildWeasel]

I'm alittle happier when I see Keith's vids in my notifications.

[@TheRubenFuentes]

Kieth is just out here straight fucking chillin , “hey good morning here’s some fucking HEAT!”

[@SAPlaysMetal]

I'm loving the Sick Riff Worship segment \,,/

[@markherrera8402]

Thanks for spotlighting the chair man. Not sure how appealing this would be to other viewers, but I would love to see a mix walkthrough for Pythoness or really anything off Reading the Bones...

[@penguinfrogman]

Touche on the ENGL Powerball stinging harder then a well, what Keith said.

[@Leeturnal]

🤘nice.. I instantly thought “Down To The Merrow” was the perfect name when I saw it commented on the last one lol

[@Metalbass10000]

FUCK YEAH!!! 🤘🏿😆 Thank you Keith, and Jeff! You two create music that always inspires, motivates me to play and create music. After hearing the preproduction piece I am now motivated to make time to clean the virus (viruses?) off my computer and get back to being able to record music, and to be able to get work done for the business my wife and I started after my diagnosis. Thanks again!

[@ThrashXCV]

Gateways to Annihilation is fucking heavy as shit. Opening of the Gates Intro riff with the almost 808 sounding bass drops "BOOOM". Underrated album for sure.

[@BadOmenRGV]

New Conquering Dystopia possibility is one of the most exciting bits of music news I've heard.

[@SefiroUltima]

"...trap their souls in cages for all of eternity." That you did to us buddy. I'd watch content like this every day. Thank you for sharing!

[@anahowana]

That Morbid Angel opening is M.A.S.S.I.V.E it gives off a menacing, mystic and spiritual vibe ! Most kids on here didn't know about it so kudos for introducing them to Gateways to Annihilation !! Cheers from Morocco

[@littlewoodenboy1971]

“Down to the Merrow” - genius title.

[@Ghaos]

Video idea: A detailed history of the KM series including all those cool prototypes.

[@rpf23543]

Soooo great to see you Keith now regularly on KZbin! Beside Ola and Jeff Loomis, you are on the top three of my all time guitar superheroes!!!!

[@ZakkiLowe]

That Morbid Angel album along with Nile's Black Seeds were responsible for making me like death metal. Love that song.

[@dustinmullings2672]

Keith you're the fuckin man! We need more down to the Merrow in our lives. Diablo 2 was my life for years btw! So many great memories playing that game. You're are truly an inspiration for your fellow metal loving, gamer, guitarist peers. Please keep making content. You are appreciated brother!

[@ShadowKenneth96]

Yes we want a Audio/Gaming/Video PC build video. Very few of the PC building channels on KZbin ever mention Audio Production. Mostly just gaming and video editing/streaming. Would love a video like that so people can know what to build towards if they want to get that setup.

[@MartyDadRiffs]

I remember being underwhelmed by Morbid's Gateways when it came out. So glad you mentioned it in this episode. Holy SHIT! It's such a menacing record, and the solos are out of this world.

[@guylikesguitar]

Man its sooo so good to hear some really classic Merrow riffs again.

[@jasoncrump1886]

I'd like to hear you and Ola on an album together. Your styles together would be just crushing I think.

[@alexlevesque9687]

Down to the merrow is officially my favourite Q&A series, these videos are so great

[@HighGainsDrifter]

Gateways to annihilation and diablo 2 were a pretty big part of my teenage years. Gateways is definitely my favorite

[@icetraex]

Keith, you're awesome dude!! Thanks again for signing my KM7 backplate after the show in Ft. Lauderdale. I'll never forget it dude, you're a major inspiration to me. Rock on bro!!!

[@ObeCmonBoneMe]

The video and audio production on these videos is out of this world man. So glad you’re back Keith 🤘🏻

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Hey duder, How has blues impacted your metal riffs?

[@philvance6167]

Much love to Robert!!

[@erickmazur807]

I dont hear much blues in his riffs. Leads yes lol hi Robert! Lol

[@toemasmeems]

KEITH ANSWER THIS MAN! He is awesome!

[@jsmallsawe]

A big vote for YES on the production machine build!

[@BobbyPVZ]

man... '' The arrival'' changed my way of playing guitar... lv from portugal!

[@1eyejackffs934]

The man who can bring dead strings back to life.🤘🐺🩸

[@askethom04]

Bring this back as just a chill chat and jam. Would be sick. Just low effort fun time

[@zero420hour]

I hope you never stop creating KZbin content man. I just bought 3 albums off your website and I absolutely love that some songs have been revamped with new drums and some cut up parts, like added solos and bigger production. I'm considered a new fan I suppose but I'm really digging the tunes and this channel. So much so, I also bought and installed your sig Fishman's in my Washburn Stealth. Couldn't be happier. Cheers Mr. Merrow 🤘

[@asen1ne]

Man I have missed metal riff worships!!! Good to have you back Keith!

[@leestoop5739]

Hey Keith, hope you're keeping safe and well man. My question is; How do you get your chords to sound so clear under high gain? The note separation is amazing. Really happy to see you back on KZbin again, you're the best!

[@king-korestudio6311]

I still love how you mixed different song riffs together and recorded it!!!

[@adamhipko666]

Dream tour after covid: morbid angel, gojira, conquering dystopia!!

[@DevonM88]

God damn that "Pillars of the Sea Nymph" is sick as hell.

[@cbenji7154]

You had me at "It stings harder than a soapy dickhole." Happily subscribed, and I feel your increased presence in the KZbin community is only going to make it better. Yes to a PC build, or at least tell us what you've got in yours.

[@gamerlegacy]

It would be sick if you guys put a few guest vocalists on the next conquering dystopia album. I know it's supposed to be an instrument thing, but a few songs with vocals would be super cool too.

[@codyboop4617]

I can't put into words how fucktastic it is to see you back on KZbin. You are a true inspiration. Merrow, and Ola, the two best guitar KZbinrs out there! Really brings a breath of fresh air to my daily routines, I toast with coffee to you both every day. 🤘😜

[@ryanschindler923]

Hells yeah the Morbid Angel riff is badass, a classic!!!! Gateways is my favorite album from them.

[@Metalguy86]

Same! I always preferred the Steve Tucker era over David Vincent. Summoning Redemption is the perfect anthem to the apocalypse. The dimensions, and layers of guitar work in that whole album are just great. Such an underrated album, but definitely their best.

[@philsmith3019]

As far as Engls being bright, that explains why I favor that Lepou Engl plugin. Its really clear and focused.

[@anguspotter-irwin7126]

Keith marrow content is oddly wholesome but with death metal.

[@Galius7]

It was pretty epic seeing the Vader return. I also had a couple Agile at the time of Keith's early vides and have since moved on to nicer instruments, but they were awesome for the money!

[@rodreyes8436]

Holy crap shout out to “step one, mic up an Invective cab” then has studio recording of last week’s mash up riff. That riff after hooking up the gear... makes me sick dude. Nice.

[@MrGul]

Keith Merrow music/video/gaming PC build? YES PLEASE!

[@Optimoe89]

I am so damn stocked that you are back. Waited like 7 years for it or so 😅 man, your riffing and tone sparks creativity in me right away. Thanks dude, welcome home.

[@militant6660]

Best channel on KZbin by a million miles!!!!!!!!🤘🏻

[@WiktorA96]

First time I have listened to gateway's to annihilation when the intro track turns into the main riff it scared the hell out of me. Love this album so much, best MA album in my opinion.

[@Dicroiz]

Man, loving your videos buddy!! awesome stuff

[@kow294]

New Conquering Dystopia album.. yeesss!!

[@ChadBillAnderson]

Love the new series Keith keep em coming :D

[@brokenlevelmusic]

Man, this is really well done and honestly, inspiring! Keep the music and content coming Keith🤘🏼

[@svartsjokolade]

So glad you're back, Keith. Love these vids!

[@terryspaulding2000]

Love this man! Long time fan, Greetings from down in Oregon🤘🏻

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

Wowww, was such a blast to watch and hear You answering these questions and playing - that piece at the end was just unbelievable. Thank You and have a lovely day! \,,/

[@jonnyreid7823]

Woo! Comment made it into the video! haha. Man, if you read this, I cant get enough of the quality and effort you're putting into these videos. My main complaint as a music tech youtube consumer is how scant some of the content has become. Your videos are so rich and I thank you for it. Also that coffee making head bang scene you made hade me laughing hard!

[@kenkukiller]

reverse headbanging clips are now my favorite thing ever :) gravity defying hair!!!

[@wesryan5233]

Holy hell this series is already so good, your the man Keith

[@joerondorf926]

By far you are one of my favorite rhythm guitar players of all time. Have 5 of your lefty signature models and just ordered the autographed cd and Conquering DVD. You inspire

[@theshredder456]

Keith, this youtube comeback has been amazing! Thank you for doing this again. I'm loving every video!

[@paracosmrecording]

Bro...these videos RULE!!! Fun, informative and I love the vibe!

[@bjmn7d]

Dude, this was so awesome! We'll take all the episodes you can make as fast as you can make them!

[@ringchamp6543]

Love your stuff, more dude keep it coming

[@baritonecult622]

This is awesome, love your videos.

[@pedropete52]

we missed you so much, Keith! love this series!

[@robertweatherill9161]

Awesome to have you back Keith! Bought that shirt immediately!

[@jadenspeirs345]

Just hearing those few seconds of conquering dystopia got me so hyped for a new album. I’ve listened to the first one sooooo many times. Can’t wait

[@kaxisa1]

wow blew my mind... that riff at the end. \m/. You were the key for the 7 string world together with the Nazgul and Sentient pickups. Thanks for everything man!

[@amon444]

Holy shit I still blast Opening of the Gates when I need a pick me up! Glad you are doing KZbin again! Thank you!

[@brianbowersox8392]

Love the new videos Keith!

[@edb3366]

Loving this series

[@marko2me]

Oh man, you're so awesome.... and that run at the beginning is a killer!!!! Hope for some more!!! Yeah!!!

[@danielmolina7834]

Its been a while, since I have been this entertained

[@KOSTAS84]

Dude I just wanna say that whenever I see you play I instantly pick up my guitar. True inspiration, your riffs are beyond sick!!

[@Glen_Alvelais]

Lovin the new videos, gotta ask about the guitar stand mounted to your desk? Pure Genius!

[@xplanet2112]

Great to see you back man, your playing is ridiculous. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Kukyodragonfly]

Man Im so glad someone asked about the chair, I forgot to ask in the 1st q&a. Great video!

[@FrancisJulien418]

Duuude! Epic moment with the Vader! Fan of yours since those years . Rock on Keith.

[@bradleyrayson2955]

Love your tone on Summoning Redemption, so good

[@SuffyANX]

Fuck yeah, Cosmogenesis. I would do terrible things for an updated version of that song now that your production has improved so much since the Lonestar Transcend days.

[@nachocanet4312]

Really love it!!!

[@marcuscleary40]

@Keith Merrow so happy your back love the channel wondering how you get your lead tone to have clarity as well as heavy distortion thanks man

[@k-lumschmit8813]

Thanks for the answer dude, glad to hear there's more on the way!

[@peterrovaniemi138]

That conquering dystopia sample bit was iiiinsane!

[@thedudethatplaysguitar9882]

i absolutely love the fact you played the mashup riff from the last video during the transition

[@robertourista4743]

My new favorite FAQ series.

[@paintedbyspectrum]

I'm sorry I've only just discovered you, haven't gone through your whole catalogue, dude the 16 year old me wishes so much there were platforms like this, you've made me fall in love with low tuned chugging riffs! Just went out and copped an Ibanez RGIX6FDLB, 34 now and the felling of playing higain chug is thrilling as hell!! So thank you for the much needed inspiration to play again!

[@Justin-sg2ix]

Just discovering you for the first time. Where have I been??? You got a new subscriber! Loving the videos and the music, and I vote YES for the PC build video!

[@pallomagc]

Oh! We need a new cd! Thank's for that video.

[@PaulOuzounov]

Diablo II and summoning redemption? Dude are you my secret uncle? Hahaha love the vids man, good to see you back to it on KZbin!

[@HunterRouth]

When you stringed together that rig and played those riffs. If it isn't a song, it should be. Dang Man... King of Modern Metal Riffs.

[@MrBurtbackerack]

I've seen Ola tell Keith to do this sort of content a few times when they've had chats. Really glad he decided to do it finally!

[@TheRealHucasys]

Home studio specific PC builds would be really cool! YES

[@clemensmoeller4549]

I'm happy to see you making videos more regularly! Met you at Musicpark in Leipzig, Germany. It was great hearing and meeting you and Nick Johnston.

[@n7warlock22]

Just ordered the conquering dystopia documentary. Totally stoked!

[@user-ey9fo3cm2o]

Vader...cable...stand by button ....let the MERROW MONSTER MAGIC BEGIN!!!)))

[@camdensmallwood]

Seeing mr. diabolic5150 playing an Agile is one hell of a throwback

[@juhanisuominen]

Hell yeah dude! Definitely would be cool to see how you go about building a custom PC for audio and video!
