Keith Merrow and Wes Hauch of The Faceless (working)

Wes and I are doing some demo work for Seymour Duncan tonight, and thought we'd say hi.

[@bradleyrayson3432]

Song name is "Booze Hoes with No Clothes" by the Chode Micheal Muppet Orchestra, this is a cover played in drop Q... Damn you non-learned folk.

[@fretzombie]

wes is my favorite guitarist. How could he not be his phrasing and vibrato is so tasty and technical ablity so rigid and somehow gets thay southern half note bend sound.

[@TheBadSpoon]

He loves Dimebag, that's how :)

[@jwspitz35]

This is by far the sickest riff I've ever heard in my life, I wish Keith and Jeff repeated it on Autarch at least once

[@MetalDavidRulez]

They do...

[@jwspitz35]

I meant later in the song. That first riff they're playing is only played for about 10 seconds in Autarch

[@MetalDavidRulez]

It's just as long and it's about 30s long ;D

[@WillNyeTheTurfgrassguy]

57 seconds holy fuck

[@allthingsmenlike]

i swear that everytime Keith makes a song the most amazing riff in the world is born... again

[@DanielSmith_19]

"One of these girls?" lives in my head rent-free. I love Keith Merrow.

[@dominumstudio]

Friends, guitars, amp, and beers... OMG this is the best plan of the world!!! I love this Guys!

[@Kr3gg]

fucking great! You just introduced me to Wes Hauch. I'm a huge fan of pantera and dimebag as well as Wes! Thank you :)

[@AirGuitar]

So am i dude...Dime is my all time fav guitarist and Pan-fucking-terA is my all time favorite band! And now i'm getting into Wes' style along with Dime's!! holy fucker.....

[@haiqalarizz3422]

I am so happy that I can hear this again bro! Thank you so much, Keith!!!!!

[@JJalapenoss4l]

Those riffs are insane. :) Wes Hauch is def one of my favorite guitarrists atm. And his solo on "Mile Zero" by Periphery STILL stands as my favorite solo of all time.

[@farinavey]

I agree. Iv watched all of Keith Merrow's stuff and this short vid always stood out to me. So badass

[@TheZenithPassage]

whats up with the sound at the end of the solo @1:28

[@capoman1]

Awesome playing guys. You know what I liked the most? Both of them are holding the guitar kind of in a "classical style" on their left leg vs their right. I play this way when I sit and people give me shit about it.

[@mattwildchild]

i love your videos keith ! Keep posting them :) thank you

[@LorcanWard]

That was awesome!

[@GanjawarsLostPro]

we need MOAR!

[@ImFrankie]

I thought Jeff was the lead player on this track!!! Fuckin Wes is the best. Such an articulate player! Beast

[@tonymahoeney]

holy shit!!!!! What a sound!

[@lackthereof1783]

Wes is seriously so amazing. Now that he is In the faceless I hope he gets more props

[@svtcobra666]

I want to live my life.....just like this. Guitars, metal, beer.

[@A7Xguitarplayer0272]

You guys should collaborate a lot more. With Merrow's sick riffs and Wes' kick ass phrasing and solo licks, you guys could seriously put out a lot of great material!

[@Francisco17Berrios]

Xd

[@Slormer]

This is where I realized you guys were sickelite.

[@Mammongorothkar]

What is this wrist band type thing on the end of the guitar neck? I see a lot of people using them now but I haven't yet and wondered if they help the over all tone and junk.

[@alejandrocaceres1370]

They are called fret wraps

[@dunpeal5357]

Thats a killer tone! Obviously sick ass guitar playing too. Cheers!

[@michaelbengtson8094]

still kickass !!!!!!!

[@fatsuperfly]

goddamn!! rippin it up!!! good shit!!

[@A7Xguitarplayer0272]

Definitely one of the sickest leads I've heard in a while

[@I_am_Angerer]

Keith, you are so awesome :D keep it brutal

[@MetalWarlock93]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@Danthehorse]

Totally impressive to be able to still play like that when pissed out of your heads! Rock on.

[@donadde]

Keith Merrow and Wes Hauch is making awesomenes!

[@joshcnzl8185]

Yea sure, "Working". When you enjoy your occupation that much, its no longer considered working. Awesome stuff though!

[@sinxdope4230]

+JoshC NZL In 1:58s they made more work than You made in Your entire life to be honest.

[@joshcnzl8185]

Sinx Dope lol what would you know.

[@porkyoak]

this is fucking awesome on every level

[@Joescanzillo]

gorgeous guitar

[@DestoTrading]

[@Foust10II]

I hope you will use that in one of your upcoming songs ! The whole thing is epic !

[@PMRballa]

Sounds so badass guys!

[@SkyHighClaw]

seriously wes's phrasing is just amazing

[@theperfectcell6]

This is too good.

[@feilong29]

That was the most tastiest solo i've ever heard!

[@Airplane171]

Solid as always.

[@ray03gtp1]

bad ass great job guys!

[@itslubby_]

That solo kicks ass!!!

[@DecrepidMonkeyChild]

Omg these are some of the best riffs I've heard in a while - PLEASE tell me that there is a finished song!!

[@timothyjones4309]

Pabts the beer of real musicans!

[@shREDhead44]

haha touche! Dude I love Wes' phrasing, you either have it or you don't, and he's got plenty.

[@ALTITUDE15]

very awesome

[@dougbline]

@ capoman1 playing on your left leg is how you should hold your guitar while sitting down cause when you stand up it's in the same position!

[@petrucci24]

GENIUS SOLO !

[@AnthonyESP94]

AWESOME!

[@zechslazarus8098]

Brilliant!

[@givemeajackson]

that harmonic pick scratch always gets instantly associated with gojira :D sma e with me, no matter where i hear it, gojira is always the first thing to come to mind xD

[@JerichBlakk]

wes has great chops!!!

[@COB4ever12345]

That riff is fucking amazing o_O

[@maximeb190]

Mad riffin'!!!

[@ICULooking]

it's perfect

[@FrontlineGuitar]

THIS proves BUGERA are freakin AWESOME! You can see I think Keith is using the 6262 in this :P AND IT SOUNDS EPIC :D

[@AirGuitar]

Here's the 'actual legs' vid that Wes could have been referring to?? He says it at 1:51 Even though the vid was posted after this video. instagram.com/p/a0F3envUa-/?taken-by=weshauch

[@jamespeters066]

Great song! I always wondered, why the hair bands on the nut?

[@AdamSteinzOfficial]

Now, that's my kind of :work"!

[@Deanstruction1]

I love those Rico guitars!!!

[@Nichaelesv]

is any of you guys using a power attenuator during this recording?

[@ZuGuitar]

Did you use the nomades on stereo mode to for this?

[@Jeff-ik9zj]

Did any of this stuff end up in a song? Those riffs are insane

[@Tarkess]

Conquering Dystopia - Autarch

[@1mDeOtDaDl1]

so sick

[@bintingboypogi]

did you use that bugera in the video sounds great

[@jongeetard1259]

Killer playing

[@SpacemanBandOfficial]

Fuck yeah...And extra points for Wes wearing a BTBAM shirt.

[@DougErapps]

[@RobKingRC]

[@Unleech89]

Damn good!! I'd kill to have some tab of it :D

[@zombiezombie1977]

looks like the best job in the world....:)))

[@YusreeMe]

I HAVE THAT SENSE TOO! That is so legit true.

[@NavidKhan84]

AUTRACH!!

[@Airplane171]

Also, what's up with your guitar selection, are you switching back to Bernie Ricos or would it be ignorant to assume that you have to strictly stick with one selection of guitar? Nice playing btw!

[@DimebagHetfield696]

I dont know what just happened... but that was fucking epic O_O

[@ADRIANELFUERTE]

awesome

[@ylcn77ylcn]

very nice great

[@bradlocken2621]

I always thought that loomis wrote those leads

[@bab_box]

the song is called Autarch

[@AKREP_Zulfu_Yuksel]

Vallamı laa

[@drewsmithbass]

Wes Hauch and Keith Merrow are good

[@CthulhusDystopia]

good shit, dudes

[@asdlfkajdfgbn]

I want Wes' shirt so hard.

[@MichaelNewall]

His solos are so melodic. FAP

[@eddiem4868]

They should make guitar pick bottle openers. I swear sometimes too lazy to get up and try to get it open

[@JesseMichel]

geez wes and his notes

[@TheDrumminMan08]

Monstrous tone on both ends.

[@mitch3384]

Fuck me. That opening riff is like having your throat ripped out through your eye socket.

[@ZuGuitar]

I didn't even see the top amp and I was like "Hmm that sounds like my bugera"

[@Jamespm666]

Wes' left hand technique is so goddamn tight.

[@ICULooking]

tour now!!!!

[@MattHarnettMusic]

Holy fuck. Wes and Keith together.

[@jeffreythetyrant]

st. pauli...my favorite beer...

[@milmech4376]

[@FuRY55001337]
