There's something about seeing Keith playing a KM7 loaded with nazgul/sentients playing this riff that tugs on the nostalgia

[@JulianEmdon]

I remember listening to this riff 1000 times as you went through all the pickups. Settled on the Naz and Sentient. 🤘

Same! And happy with my choice 😊

For some reason it really warms my heart to hear Keith doing a seymour duncan demo playing this song. The more power to you keith! You are awesome!

[@thecompletejake]

This tune. The original version of these pickups. These were my gateway into 7 string playing.

[@arqturia]

Maaan.... this popped up on my notifications, hovered over it for a sec, muted, and saw the fret-hand movement. IMMEDIATELY knew what track we were getting (Think I've worn the Czech Guitar Clinic video with Nick Johnston into the floor at this point xD). Pickups and overall sound are tight! Chunky and with little-to-no loss of clarity. This was my gateway into your music and, I swear, hooked. The RETROSPECIAL test-press is pride of place on my rack. Fan for life, right here.

[@Kylmayfi1]

A timeless masterpiece. Thanks, Keith!

[@Eduardordzso]

Pillars of Creation, we are so back!

[@sensiblynumb]

They sound excellent. I have the Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Sentient OGs and love them. So versatile. Wish I found them years ago

[@akchamurat]

With all the little details and nuances i still love it. BTW this is the one for me that got me into 7’s back in 2009. It’s like the “quad machine” track from quake 2 which also made me lose my sh*t and become a metal addict for life. It’s a milestone and you’re a living dj0nt god sir. 🖤🤘🏻

[@Promit]

It really comes across how much cleaner and more precise of a player you've become over all these years. Love it!

[@K707OR30]

Sounds sick! Love the Nazgûl, will have to check out the rail version. EVH 4x12 cab with the g12EVHs is my favorite cab I own. No disrespect to my 1960a cabs but the EVH cabs and speakers, while not at all unknown, somehow fly under the radar. Sound amazing and have tons of resonance. Great alternative to the mesa oversized thing.

[@PippPriss]

Jesus, this song has made me decide so much in my "pickup life", unbelieveable. Thanks for this throwback to GOOD TIMES!

[@sheumack]

I actually came looking for the song, and discovered there's a new Nazgul/Sentient variant. Makes sense you play this one - the whole point was to allow us to compare different pickups. But an A/B with the original Nazgul/Sentient and the new ones through the new signal chain would have been awesome. SD should pay you for that. (I need to buy another guitar for my Nazgul - I ended up pairing the Sentient with the Pegasus. Just better suited what I was playing at the time.)
