Welcome to April 22nd 2019 the ten year anniversary of my youtube channel Merc music it's time to get extremely nostalgic and just start
Now but seriously thank you guys so much for all of the amazing support over the last 10 years over the last 10 years
I have changed a lot of my content has changed a lot
But I know this when I first made my youtube channel back in 2009
I know that it was incredibly passionate about wanting to make gaming videos and guitar videos. I was falling in love with the stuff
I was watching on YouTube at the time between the guitar videos
I was singing between the gaming videos that I was just singing for the very first time it was mind-blowing
I knew at that time. I wanted to be a part of that. I wanted to be contributing to that community
So I made some guitar videos. They weren't the best at the time, but I wanted to do it anyway
And I was making gaming videos at the time to and I knew they weren't that good
But I wanted to try no matter how critical I was gonna be of myself or how critical other people were going to be
I was going to do it no matter what and thanks to you guys in your continued support over all of the years you have
Made this dream of mine possible
No matter how many hours are important to making these videos if I didn't have the community to support me
It wouldn't be possible. It wouldn't exist
So thank you guys so much for all of your support over all of these years
whether you've somehow managed to say subscribe for ten years or if you just subscribed yesterday whether you like and comment on every video you
Have notifications turned on or if you're just here to tell me that in a weird freak of nature
I think every single one of you for coming back to my channel and supporting what I do. It's amazing
So you're probably sitting there wondering where your little boobs buglar?
What are you gonna be doing for your teddy your special it better be incredible. Calm down milk
Geez, don't put so much pressure on me

Which I think you guys will find pretty dope
If you didn't happen to notice this already then I don't know how you missed it
But today I'm wearing the you bunk shirt
This is personally one of my favorite pieces of Mercia they came up with and a lot of you guys loved it as well
but last year I moved over to teespring and I did completely new designs and I did not carry over the you bunk design until
Now I'm gonna need a short change much better. I'm very excited to finally be able to announce to you guys
The you bung 10-year anniversary special as you guys can see here. I've brought back the you bung logo
This one is a limited edition 10 year anniversary logo as I'm sure you can see it's completely gold which is just so cool
I had to work with T Springs especially make this design and they made this possible and it looks incredible
I'm so happy with how this turned out
So if you guys would like to check out the limited edition 10 year anniversary you bung merch I'll have a link in the description
There's black and white t-shirts black and white hoodies, and he looks strong and good

It's only gonna be available to purchase until the ends of April and then it's gonna be discontinued
So guys make sure to bung the boost and get the you bug merch before it's gone forever
but I'm not making this video to just thank you guys for your support over all of the years and also announced some new merch
with this video
I actually wanted to take a trip down memory lane and reacts to my old videos but in a more unique way
I
think I have single-handedly picked my most favorite videos from each year that I've done YouTube and those are gonna be the videos that I
React to today 2009. It was kind of hard to choose for 2009
It was between this video and the chief Andy video
Which you guys have seen a couple times if you haven't seen the chief india video by now
I don't know what you're doing, but i'll explain this ProTools video after we watch how terrible it is. Here we go
Hey, this is music. And this is basic acknowledge that intro this was 2009 Eric
Hey guys, this is Merc music
I sound like I'm doing this video at four in the morning the amount of enthusiasm in that video
It's just it's too high for me 2009 Eric restrictions and how to use Pro Tools
Very simple, even though this is how to use Pro Tools. I'm an excellent tutorial maker guys subscribe to my grandma
There's a lot of stuff
You're not gonna explain anything no
I really just wanted to react to this video to show you guys how far the content has come
I don't think anyone truly wants to see
2009 Eric anymore because that dude was filming his laptop screen with his iPhone at 360 P quality while barely making enough sounds to actually
Have the microphone capture anything times have definitely changed 2010. Oh my god even just the actual first screen
I actually think I've reacted to both of the videos that I picked for 2010
It's the mw2 intervention montage and mw2 victory songs on guitar. I went with the victory songs like guitars
You have to watch this look at that intro screen. At least I met 720p now look at that
we got the quality increase, but I
Got I actually created these backgrounds in a program called GIMP. It was so bad. How did they look so terrible?
I thought they were the coolest things at the time like obviously and on top of that
I didn't even have any paid editing software
So I used this free software called AVS video editor and I only had the trial so I left this watermark in the middle
Oh, just keep going
Here we are. Oh gun ad
Close it. I
Am gonna give myself some credit here from 2009 to 2010 at least
I was trying I mean now that I wasn't trying in 2009 but 2010 you could see the increase of quality
I think I was using my dad's camcorder at the time to be able to record this
I don't know if I had my own but I went from 360p to 720p, which is pretty good
I also started throwing up some graphics on the screen. I think in 2010
I had this laptop behind me and I actually had some editing software. So that is a step up
I want to pull up the intervention montage - I did change the thumbnail of this video over the years. I have no regrets
Oh man, if you want if you want talk about production quality, I made these graphics I made this music
Okay, maybe I'm not so proud to admit them fans, I was recording my TV with a camera is the beat goes hard
Oh
Yeah killing people on their tacit searches good job Eric
Basically any kill I got was a clip back to hit shots in a row. Oh my god. Oh,
Okay, that's enough of that 2011 you guys will see a pattern here
I have a very hard time actually picking out one favorite video from each year for 2011
It has to be the model work for two worlds fastest intervention
New house want to show you guys this music video that I made that really didn't get too much traction
But I'll show it after this. What's up guys
This is Merc music and I just like to think you've got a Lex that is not Merc. Music. What's up guys?
This is Martin music. I'm still very timid two years later
I still can't do commentary
but for the world's fastest intervention new calm on warfare 2 I was trying really hard to make sure it was a perfect commentary and
At the time I thought it was perfect, but it's really not that good
However, the gameplay is pretty awesome. And it is the world's fastest intervention nuke with kill streaks
So yeah, I was pretty happy about this video. Yep. It's unlisted
So apparently this video isn't public but I will have it linked in the description if you want to watch it
I think I actually made this video unlisted because I was so embarrassed with how bad it is
So yeah, we're gonna watch it today. Here we go. The jungle it by Merc music were actually gonna watch the whole thing
Find a church near me
So I had this whole idea of like creating a music video with like multiple perspectives
It's not the worst thing ever like my intention was gonna I was trying to have a multiple perspective thing almost like
acapella, although I
Recorded myself saying we as humans are trapped and played it in reverse row. That was so deep
I'm drowning in quicksand right now. This isn't the worst thing ever. I am kind of embarrassed about it
The idea was to have a song where the guitar is doing all the parts, you know
It has like the percussion for the rhythm and it has a melody on top of it
It's just I thought the idea was cool. The time is just the execution wasn't that great
that was 2011 Merc music for you 2012
I actually have three videos for 2012 but I don't want to go through all of them
But 2012 was the year of my first coiffure with every gun video
it was on modern warfare 3 there's my first minecraft trolling video with the 11 year old fanboy and it was the year of the
black ops 1 gun game reactions video with like a trickshot all of those videos ended up blowing up my channel over time people just
Like the quad feed with every gun idea that I had and they liked the reactions
I was getting on minecraft and on Call of Duty
So I did my best to try to continue those series for as long as I could and they think out of all of those
We should probably react to the walk of trickshot 1 this videos timeless like even the first reaction
That wasn't actually watching church I was someone else
But I use that for the intro and then here's the actual game and I think he's about to get knifed about now
So the story behind this video is that I was trying to go for some reactions on black ops one gun game and before this
Lobby, I was playing for about an hour. I was just about to give up
It was getting late and then David Vonderhaar
Blessed me with this Lobby and gave me walk a trickshot and this kid would not stop screaming. It was amazing
It is my all-time favorite gun game reaction video that I've ever made
It was one of the first I ever made to 2013 for 2013
I picked this video called duty world at war bang a hack control
I'm not quite sure if this was the first one I did I think it might have been but back then I loved being able
To go back and play the older Col Duty game specifically called duty for and world at war and I was getting sick and tired
Of people cheating and ruining the experience on there. It was so frustrating
So I specifically made this video to single out a single hacker who was just making the game unplayable and if I'm not mistaken
I think a couple years later this player actually got banned. So here we go. This is the video. What's up guys?
This is Merc music. And yesterday I was planes in coal duty world at war and a 2013 air cat as it turns down
well
That wasn't that bad think I ran into by far the biggest
Douchebag hacker I've ever seen on Call of Duty back. Then. I was like this dude's a douche
Here's his gamertag. Go report him savage back
Then look at me go odd mode to pull really high scores like 111 and no and just stomp all over everyone
But it's another thing to actually just talk to those people and say that you're the best and that you're legit never else sucks
So watch the entirety. Yeah, yeah. Hopefully that's why I really didn't like this person
You know, it's one thing for someone to cheat and just you know
Booster Katie whatever and they just kind of go about their way
But this person specifically rubbed me the wrong way because they were in-game chat telling everyone that they're amazing
They're so good at the game. This is someone who's extremely lonely
I don't know when he's saying people who cheat and then brag about it. That's just it's so lame
I hope this person is still enjoying being banned off of Xbox Live 2014
2014 was a great year because it's the year that I joined phase but not really it was actually the inception of phase boosts
So here we go
What's up, guys?
Okay. I just want to acknowledge the fact that like phase boost was supposed to be so stupid that when you start out the video
You're not even talking you're just here like you don't actually say anything. You're just that dumb. Anyway, let's restart
What's up, guys? This is Mert music here
And as you can tell why it's not over this video I joined phase which it wasn't actually phased boost yet
I was still blended off like I was bird music what but yeah the whole way that this started is that I was just messing
around in photo booth and have all these filters and there's one that just kind of like sucks your face in and I thought I
Just looked like a STONER dude, I joined phase which is like freaking crazy. Right? I've been doing the phase 5 challenge
Is there a phase 5?
Nice 3 years you're in phase five for three years line is a sniper. So this is gonna be my first phase montage
So I hope you guys enjoy my last one. I was making a montage yours face boost is first one. Yeah. Oh
That's what it was. I think I'm starting to understand it now
I introduce myself as Bert music but I put phase boost there as the player so I joined his face boosts
It looks really cool until
Yeah, literally this is just a mean video
It's just me playing the quickscope simulator game and that's how face boost was born. It kind of makes sense. So
many
Years now
I
Was cracking myself up at the end? Oh my god 2015 for 2015. There were a couple of choices that I had
But if I had to pick one
It's gonna be mercury X and Merc music reacting to Merc music if you didn't happen to know this in 2015 a lot of reaction
Channels were blowing up and for the most part some of these channels were just straight up ripping other people's content and weren't really doing
anything too unique and I wanted to cover this topic greetings fellow you to be my
Mark music Andy day. I'm going to be reacting to videos from work new you
see
Exactly now reacting to myself reacting to myself. Oh my god. This is a reaction ception. Well, I bought my cocaine
I forgot you my cocaine
Okay, Erik
What was really cool about this video at the time is that it was used in grade 8 Andres video about reaction channels and when
That happened my channel blew up and took off in a way that I never thought was gonna be possible
It brought me so many subscribers and extra views at the time. It was just mind-blowing
That wasn't even my intention at the time. It was just crazy
But you know was starting to blow up at a rate that I didn't necessarily want it to I know it sounds weird to complain
About growth but I didn't feel like I actually earned that level of growth. It happened way too fast
I had never experienced anything like that, and it was just crazy
2016 now I'm not actually able to use the audio for this video
But this one in 2016 is my all-time favorite video from the year
It was the sound of silence for modern warfare remastered if you guys somehow don't know this already
Cole Duty 4 was my favorite Call of Duty game of all time
It's what got me into gaming videos on YouTube and I will always be grateful for that and I truly just love this game called
It before it has such an exceptional campaign such a great multiplayer
It just it really did pay to the future for what Call of Duty is today
and I wanted to make this video as a tribute because Raven was remastering called it before at the time and I don't know the
Sound of silence that was remixed by disturbed it just kind of fit like the campaign perfectly for me
I knew that this video was probably gonna get a copyright claim, but I didn't care
I just wanted to make this project because I felt so strongly about it
And I know it's gonna sound kind of lame
But this was actually a very emotional video for me to put together because I just love this game so much
I played the multiplayer so much I think over multiple accounts. I had over a hundred days played on the multiplayer
I really don't have words for it. I don't know and I think overall it's one of my favorite videos I've ever worked on Almighty
2017 in 2017. I had some really funny skit videos
I had the emoji movie video and also had the cod World War two leaked trailer video. Those were both hilarious
But 2017 was actually kind of a tough year for me
2017 is when the DES monetization thing happened on YouTube and it hurt my channel very badly. I think was roughly four months
I wasn't getting paid for pretty much any of the new content. I was making it was all getting T monetized
I think roughly more than half of the videos on my channel were getting D monetize. I was getting hit hard
It was quite literally sucking the life out of me and my channel
I was losing my drive to actually do YouTube and YouTube was making it really hard for my channel to grow how it had before
it was basically the ends of me just goofing around and saying and doing whatever I wanted to I literally had to stop doing and
saying some of the things that I was doing before otherwise
My channel would have no chance of surviving today and on top of that in 2017
I lost my uncle to ALS and after his funeral
I was playing the song ten words by Joe Satriani and that's the song that I associated with him
So I did this cover video as a tribute to my uncle so it's really tough about 2017
Is that so much was starting to change and I just had to learn to accept that. I knew it wasn't gonna be easy
I was struggling a lot at this time, but I did my best to remain as hopeful and optimistic as possible 2018 for 2018
I decided to pick my always with me always with you cover
this video is really cool for me because this was actually one of the first videos that I ever uploaded to YouTube and I had
Covered that in 2009 and nine years later
I wanted to redo the cover and make it as professional as I possibly could and I dedicated that video to create it because I
Play that song for on guitar
I just thought it was really cool because I do so many gaming videos and I don't really do as much guitar like I used
To so who knows maybe I should start working on some more guitar stuff in the future, but don't worry
There's gonna be tons of video games too. Oh, yeah, that's gonna bring us to 2019
Obviously that's kind of a hard decision because it's only April so far
But my favorite video that I've worked on so far is a day in the life of faze boost
I had a blast recording this video and editing it later. It was just amazing. So here we go
I
Love this video so much. I had so much fun making it
But yeah
that was me reacting to my favorite videos from the last 10 years of making youtube videos while trying to pick only one video for
Each year, which was actually really difficult
What's really important for me as far as it goes for making content is just trying to entertain you guys than have a fun time
Whether that's goofing around his face booster screaming like a twelve-year-old as a Brayden or making a guitar video or just doing an average gaming
video
I'm just here to have some fun share this moment with you guys and hopefully you guys will enjoy that as far as it goes
from future plans
I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing and try to have as much fun as possible come up with new ideas and try to
Innovate my content as much as I can and ultimately just do the best that I can I first made my youtube channel on April
22nd in 2009 because I loved watching videos on YouTube whether it was just funny random clips of stuff going on or if it was
Guitar videos or gaming videos regardless of whatever I was watching
I just knew that I wanted to be a part of that and contribute to that community and unless YouTube just explodes or something
I'm probably just gonna keep making YouTube videos because I just love doing it
So with that being said, thank you guys very much for watching
I hope you guys enjoyed this 10 year anniversary
Video if you guys did and you're looking forward to another 10 years of YouTube videos
Make sure to drop a like and I'll see you guys later
