👆 Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow recently came to visit Andertons Music to talk about their signature guitars from Schecter and their latest project Conquering Dystopia. We grabbed a few hours with them at Empire Studios in Guildford and were blown away be their amazing playing and how lightly they travelled on this current tour.

For everyone not familiar with the TV show Celebrity Juice, the presenter Keith Lemon always asks people with an album out "what's the meaning?". So I was just doing that & not getting Keith Merrows name wrong!!

Love Keih and Jeff! Had the pleasure of witnessing Jeff play live with blood gushing from his forehead around 10 years ago @ a Sydney Nevermore concert. It was in a little pub, so the guys jumped off the stage and moshed with us, Jeff's head came in contact with someone elses. But he just kept on shredding without missing a beat!!!!

Fantastic video.. Captain...you rock.... Jeff, Keith...so refreshing to see a couple of people at the top of their profession so humble and down to earth..
I've always loved Jeff's music, but having Mr. Merrow rhythm chops is just stunning. I applaude fragorously (if that's an existing word ahahahah)
I'd love to see a longer interview with one or both of these guys now in 2020
Your playing is not only amazing but that story behind the band name was touching and inspirational to me to be perfectly honest...I too have a mundane job and work every day to make it in music...though we are from different spectrums of the music world I respect your story and wish you the best in your newfound life and hope to have a story of my own as you do...
loved the captains percussion solo, the other guys were ok too. and lee i hope u got ur royalties for ur amazing musical input!!!!
Amazing music from these two. Also, those are two of the sexiest guitars I've ever seen in my life. I really don't know if I could choose between the two.
I still think its so cool that Jeff is on board with Keith! I looked up to Jeff a lot during my first years of playing heavy metal guitar, even owned his signature schecter 7 string once for a week ( had to return it because it had a production error I couldnt live with ) , killer guitar nontheless
Keith Merrow, man. Jeff Loomis is an amazing shredder and very knowledgeable, but I feel like Keith is the gem in the band. When they stand side by side everyone just glues to Jeff and I feel bad. I've been following Keith for years on KZread and to this day he is my absolute favorite Guitarist/Composer out there. I'm so glad he's getting his own signature Schecter Guitars because that, in a sense was an award for his vast amounts of effort and hard work. KEITH. FUCKING. ROCKS.

+Hellcreature36 I really like the scale length and I have average sized hands; not super long fingers. I have a much easier time being precise between the 12th and 24th frets. It doesn't feel so cramped like with my shorter scale length guitars.
Loving this video! I'm giving serious thought to picking up a seven string myself, and as a leftie, it's refreshing to see that Schecter do us proud in terms of available guitars!

18:00 captn fucking shreds on maracas....dayumn!!!!
These guys are so cool. Two amazing guitarists but still really humble and kind with their time, honesty, opinions, etc.

The album is amazing guys, please do another. I have only listened to it an easy 500 times
I just recently bought a Schecter Demon-7 the thing is badass!
these guys are awesome man, love hearing them talk about guitar
Heavy Mr Loomis solo was so Good nice music Thanks Captain
Cap just does a fantastic interview. Gotta love jeff and keith if you play
Keith plays the way i would like to play if i where a guitar player. Since I play the bass Alex Webster is my new inspiration and i have been playing off and on for over thirty years which just goes to show you can always find new inspiration in making music no matter how old you are.
Can't say I was familiar with Jeff Loomis but his playing is great - not your typical metal speed merchant but what he plays is actually musical. Good stuff! I like his guitars too.
3 of my 4 fav KZread personalities in one video. I couldn't be happier. Jeff and Keith inspire me daily. My other fav YT'er, Rob Chapman, really needed to be there! Please don't say there's bad blood between him and Keith!!
Bought the album. Probably going to buy the Keith Merrow signature when I'm done paying off my newest Explorer haha!
shredding with melody? what is this madness?! lol fantastic guys and players

jeff's control is unreal
it was insane. top class metal players! thanks Captain for this interview

I love the body carving on Jeffs guitar.
2 artist 2 incredible guitars... my hero JL and KM
Holy crap these guys are phenomenal!!!
Awesome video!
I am torn. To be honest, I am a classic metal guy. Think Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Primal Fear, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio, and that vein of metal, where the song structure is 4/4 tempo, a slow intro, verse, chorus, solo, bridge, outro...you know what I mean. This is a whole new type of metal that I am having to get used to. I can't even tell you what the time signature is. Very melodic and very unorthodox rhythm patterns...I like it, and I love these two guitarist, but it's taking me a while to get with this style of metal. What I need to do is download it, burn it to a disk and put it in my car stereo so I can just let it sink into my fabric. Cause I want to be there!
Such a great video..nuff said
Some of those rhythms look really fun to play.. I eagerly await the release of a tab :P

On the site Conqueringdystopia.com they have the tabs avaible for download. You need some program though. Dont think its free :/
This is REALLY fresh for modern prog metal kinda stuff. SOOO many artists get lost in riff land and I feel the OPPOSITE about this. I am floored... and I think my taxes might have to go towards one of those Keith Merrow Schecters :P
18:00 HAHA Classic Captain
great interview captain!
I just saw these guys last night. I was standing about three feet away from Keith. He wasn't kidding, that guitar looks really sexy when it's not seen through a camera. These guys kicked ass.
Really good artist video.
Wow that playing was flawless.
Awesome Jeff Loomis !!!!!!!!
So much win in this video, only missing Chappers wish he was here.
These guys make metal listenable.
These guitars are so underrated . Beautifully made instrument.
The only thing I would have liked to see was a little more individual playing. Keith, you've got some sick licks and Jeff is mindblowingly incredible, but your rhythm playing could use the spotlight too! You've got plenty to show off! Chappers and Captain are great hosts, I hope you guys had fun!
I love lee's percussion at 17:45
Killer level here, they are guitar heroes for the metal family
Awesome video
My new gods!!!
the Captain rocking the shaker!! Classic!
That KM-7 is freakin beautiful. I soo want one.
:O OMFG so much awesomeness in one video
Jeff is a BEAST!
they r perfect dynamic 2gether.
awsome love to have a kieth marrow
Man I haven't heard sick playing like that since Brendan small from dethklok
Love those KM7s. Must. Not. Impulse buy...
just.. amazing

JEFF!!!!!!!!!!! he's awesome.
wow, the EMG 57 & 66 sound really good, I first thought he switched to passive pickups.
Keith Merrow solo album called Merrow, also Jeff Loomis solo album and Nevermore is on Spotify. Solo albums are great, has aVai style in some ways but more metal. . I heard of Nevermore havent got into them but when I heard some of it spotify, pretty good stuff.
Keith and Jeff's bromance is great to watch
proceeding to buy album now
I saw a Schecter 5-string left-handed bass in a Manhattan store, and bought it just because it was so rare to see a good left-handed anything. It's way better than all of my other instruments, and it was only $800. No bolt-on neck, keeps tune, heavy and solid, lots of harmonics and sustain. I had never heard of Schecter at the time, and thought it was something that had been built by a custom luthier for somebody else.

shmimbadad The 6 String Stilettos are well worth the money! I own a Stiletto Custom-6 bass and I don't think I want any other bass!
the sweet innocence on capt's face when he wasn't yet awared he (like all human beings) couldn't recognise a kemper from the amp it's simulating.
Anybody know if their is a video about the part Cap was talking about, where Keith was turning down a high end custom.
