To this day this band is the biggest inspiration to my guitar playing. Discovered them at 16. I’m now 33

Good to see the the entire faceless lineup together for this video

[JasonLuther]

I miss The Faceless. They were just as impactful as Necrophagist. Such a distinct sound it influenced so many Tech Death bands shortly after their era

[nikkc]

Came back this video after not having seen it for 10 years. I hope Mike's recovery is going well. Stay strong dude.

[maxwelld]

Wish this dude could get his shit together because he's obviously a talented dude. It's a shame

[tl_nikn]

I really hope this dude finds his way and gets off the fucking dope. He's such a beautiful player.

[saschamarr]

Seriously one of my biggest inspirations and criminally underrated, his leads sound freaking alien and are instantly recognizable. Hope he his doing well!

[dylanedwards]

I would be so nervous playing at a place like NAMM where everyone there plays guitar and EVERYONE is listening to you and can hear your mistakes

[withthemates]

Tech death that actually sounds like something and not just a bunch of weedling sweep picking. Fantastic.

[pnh]

Love how even after messing up he keeps composure. He is a pure prodigy . I enjoy every single note he plays. Thank you Michael Keene for the amazing guitar work!

older guy taking selfie with the stone aged flip phone... Pioneer lol

[ReTr]

After all these years I still love this. I saw this in 2009.

[TheManglerPolishDeathMetal]

still coming back to this vid ...great playing and composing

[redred]

One of my favorite guitar videos of all time on YouTube!! Best tech album, sickest guitar for that genre and dope playing even with the mess ups.

[flavortownchef]

That last solo makes me feel real nostalgic. Thanks for all the great tunes Keene Machine!

[chrisbruchak]

Kenne has been a generational talent for so long now. Its insane how well a video this old holds up.

[rookiem]

Always loved the faceless guitars sound/tone and his freakin green guitar.. remember seeing them back in 2007-2008ish and first seeing that guitar.. instantly fell in love with the look and color

[menaceP]

An absolutely iconic video. I remember first hearing this and my mind being totally blown.
