I love how you smile while you play. It does in fact show that you enjoy your talent, but it also proves that metalheads aren't all grump-assy like we are portrayed to be.
So heres the thing, I'ma HUGE MJ fan and i have been my whole life. I'm the biggest MJ advocate and I rep so hard lol. I critique everything and THIS… is freaking amazing!!! You're super talented and this just made my day! thank you!!
He quite often puts a solo from a famous metal band in his songs as an easter egg, The Hobbit had Fear of the Dark for one, Children of Bodom is in his Gotye one, and i know hammerfall is in one but i always forget which haha. And megadeth was in his recent Eminem one :D
Everything was just awesome! But when 4:40 started... that knocked me out of my chair! Words cannot how purely epic that was (only music can)!! That is probably one of the best solos I have ever heard :)
You should be famous for the Michael Jackson cover of "Smooth Criminal", not Alien Ant Farm? This version puts that crud they call of cover into the ground with a ton of cement on top. Killer!
Like several others I've seen in the comments, I believe what I love most about watching your videos is the way you smile throughout. This, to me, is how you're supposed to feel when you're doing what you love. Amazing. Simply amazing.
1st, you're incredibly talented, any Star would love to work with you, cause you're a star. 2nd, That smile XD, you're playing very hard but even that, you're just smiling...
You are one killer guitar slinger bro, and i can't say enough about how good you are, the Star Wars and the other things you've done have blown me away.
Cuz' all I wanna say is that they dont really care about us! Yet another fucking amazing cover, I have grown accustomed to not expect anything lesser than "fucking amazing" from you man! : ) You just inspired the fuck out of me, to once again pick up the guitar and put some time, energy & effort into starting to play again and challenge myself to reach another level. For that I thank you my Nordic brother. : ) May your life be filled with perfectly timed shreds, rock on man. THE METAL WILL LIVE ON!
You have so much skill with the guitar. Nice to see that you smile while you play. I can see and hear your love for metal in all your videos Thanks for sharing your talent. Subscribed...awhile ago actually
This must be the hundredth time i've watched this. Big up for the support?! NO! Big ups to you sir! for both being a god and having fun while you do it
Chrome users, I want to share with you the greatest invention of all time, especially usefull on 331Erock's videos. Double-rightclick on the video and press Loop. You're welcome!
Roy Vincent Guardados You should be able to rightclick twice on the same spot, and then you'll find the video controls. Loop should be in there. This is unfortunately not possible if you are using the beta youtube player :
Dude every video of yours I could watch time n time again and still get goosebumps.. its beyond awesome.not only does it sound amazing, you can tell you enjoy doing these and your dedication..my God.. keep up the amazing job! \m/
John Hooten Thanks for notifying on my poor english. Ever thought of typos or the fact that things goes a little quickly once in a while and that not all are English as you might be? Always so easy to hide behind a nick name on the Internet and ridicule other people. However I am so grateful for your utterly and gracious gramma correction. Thank you so much!
* Thanks for notifying me of my grammatical error. Have you ever thought that English might not be my first language, and that I type too fast and sloppily to notice? Regardless, I am grateful for your gracious correction. Thank you. You're welcome Mick. Secondly, my screen name is clearly my actual name. Happy holidays, and study up, son.
Symbiosis XI You're not one to call me dumb when you don't know how to use apostrophes and when you don't know what stage presence is. I, however, know both
MJJ Productions what he means is that you don't need stage presence when you're performing in your living room, I'm sure on stage, Erock would be headbanging, jumping about, etc.
Well, I'm pretty sure that he can't given that even though he does have a 4 octave range, it's D2-C6 compared to Michael's F2-F6 range. However, PelleK can go pretty high with his range.
ive made a couple of requests but this is the biggest request of all please just keep being you and have a great time like always keep that smile you look like youre havin fun bro i dig that shit much respect to your hardwork and time put in to these videos and thank you. p.s. keep havin fun bro we all are
"Annie, are you ok? Are you ok, Annie?!" -_Said the police after arresting MJ_ Looks like that little girl was just...**Puts on sunglasses** *_TOUCHED BY A SMOOTH CRIMINAL!_*
Erock your covers are amazing! I enjoy every song of my favorite movies, games or songs from you! This Michael Jackson Tribiute is just awesome! \m/ Metal 4ever \m/
SalamiCC Well, Absolute Entertainment meant that Michael has also songs in which guitar was used like "Beat it" with Van Halen's amazing guitar solo (excelent style of playing called tapping created by him), there are also guitar parts in Black Or White (just start in the beginning), beautiful guitar in Dirty Diana, you should listen Dirty Diana of Jackson from Bad album, his music was pop but this song has something to do with rock. " Dirty Diana is a song by American singer Michael Jackson featuring guitarist Steve Stevens" (It's from wikipedia) it's really cool song, you should like it, this is not typical metal like Black Sabbath or old Metallica's songs like "The Four Horsemen", "Seek and Destroy" or "Metal Militia" from Kill'em all but still very nice.
There's nothing wrong with him being happy. Being happy is important. But I suppose I have what you call a rebellious nature; anti establishment.. and I don't know, smiling-winking & metal? To me don't mix..I guess it sort of rubs me the wrong way, like arrogance? Anyway, like I said, that's just me. I'm a realist and am fully aware that I'm one single dot in a world freckled with other opinions and so, I know what I think doesn't really matter-but that doesn't mean I'll pass up an opportunity to speak my mind...
....but the guy has an awesome talent and hope he's used in a way that exemplifies his talents because clearly he's very special and needs to be heard-and seen, that is if the smiler's cramp is treated & corrected...lol
darkf8 you are partially right,i also have a similar feeling, to me it looks like he is trying not to show the "aggressiveness" of this music or at least trying to make it visually softer still keeping a powerful playing, i love these videos, thanks s much @331Erock!
The fantastic thing about this guy is that he is always smiling. In every single video. It's just adorable. Like he is amazed of what he can do. I can't describe the happiness that he has. He is sweet child in time.
Dude, King of Pop would have been proud.
Agreed
No doubt! (y)
Totally
That's true he would have loved this :,( R.I.P the king MJ
Bow down to the king
Rest in peace, Michael Jackson. Thank you for the memories.
+Dustin Nunn No that's Fallout Boy.
+Iron “XIronWolfX” Wolf lol
+Iron “XIronWolfX” Wolf sorry bro MJ sang it first XD
+Hector Lugo actually no, alien ant farm sung it first, its their song
Michael would appreciate this. We love you Michael .
I love how you smile while you play. It does in fact show that you enjoy your talent, but it also proves that metalheads aren't all grump-assy like we are portrayed to be.
brother you rock man, im literally speechless! all of your videos are amazing this is one of my favorites! i love MJ and Metal \m/
So heres the thing, I'ma HUGE MJ fan and i have been my whole life. I'm the biggest MJ advocate and I rep so hard lol. I critique everything and THIS… is freaking amazing!!! You're super talented and this just made my day! thank you!!
Sharlene Was he a pedo? I never really understood why everyone was saying that, did he do something or ... ?
Vic Rattlehead No.

Sharlene Couldn't agree more, this is just flawless!
Sharlene he's the only person who gets more than 3 videos in my favorite list.

GhostHunterLP
just because he's better than you doesn't make him the devil, you're insecurity however indicates a massive level of butt-hurt-a-tude
hey 331Erock just stopping by to get my daily fix. hope you had a rocking Christmas
Listening to this is becoming an addiction.
This guy is an Iron Maiden fan. I hear the influence in his playing yet of course has his own style. Good Job on these MJ songs
He quite often puts a solo from a famous metal band in his songs as an easter egg, The Hobbit had Fear of the Dark for one, Children of Bodom is in his Gotye one, and i know hammerfall is in one but i always forget which haha. And megadeth was in his recent Eminem one :D
2:00 awwww, its honey for ears
ohh that smilee :3
he likes what he does. and obviously we do too.
hahaha that dude is always smiling so hard
I love how happy you look playing! Keep up the good work man! Much talent, such wow.
The King of Pop would be proud of you, sir.
love your string dances! they are inspirational and i love the sound!
your sounds are hella powerful, brings out the sound in all the songs you remake in metal! PROPS!
Wish MJ is still here to watch you jamming his songs.
Bet he's gonna be completely amazed too~
Just sayin'.
True
True
True
Smiling-Silver Fox Wahr!
AKe1978 U wot m8?
heard that solo for beat it and sat up and stared at my screen like a little dog
Everything was just awesome! But when 4:40 started... that knocked me out of my chair! Words cannot how purely epic that was (only music can)!! That is probably one of the best solos I have ever heard :)
I'm soooo glad I finally found this video!!!! Cause my coach plays this on the speakers during wrestling practice and I love it. Keep it up bro!!!
259 people are not okay, are not okay annie.
You should be famous for the Michael Jackson cover of "Smooth Criminal", not Alien Ant Farm? This version puts that crud they call of cover into the ground with a ton of cement on top. Killer!
Both are awesome on their own respective genre..
Like several others I've seen in the comments, I believe what I love most about watching your videos is the way you smile throughout. This, to me, is how you're supposed to feel when you're doing what you love. Amazing. Simply amazing.
gawd daaymm..... Michael would aprove! and you got the kindest smile ever dude :D would so love to learn from you
michale Jackson is sure smiling happy for your talent
Go on man ! you are great
1:17 metal as fuck hairflip. Legit watched 4 times, very solid performance.

3:08 ALL HAIL THE KING !!
1st, you're incredibly talented, any Star would love to work with you, cause you're a star.

You should do a whole Moonwalker Medly.

I second this!
Also, Beat it... I want to see what he does to Eddie Van Halen's solo in that song.

Killian Sebastian Craft She just got an eargasm from the uniquely modified MJ licks. No she isn't!
You are one killer guitar slinger bro, and i can't say enough about how good you are, the Star Wars and the other things you've done have blown me away.
You had me sold at "they dont care about us." Genius.
I know! Fantastic!
Eric I'm gonna fly to LA from Pennsylvania, break into your house, and steal your guitar tones. I neeeeeeeeed them!!!!
I'll do it from Moscow - good reason to finally check out LA))
You can get them right now. Get Guitar Rig 5, he uses the "for the love of god" preset. Boom, tone achieved.
You got a new Quest :P Bring me the hair and you would be a´n Adventurer like me *-*
I guess that would make you *puts on shades* a smooth criminal YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Cuz' all I wanna say is that they dont really care about us!
Yet another fucking amazing cover, I have grown accustomed to not expect anything lesser than "fucking amazing" from you man! : )
You just inspired the fuck out of me, to once again pick up the guitar and put some time, energy & effort into starting to play again and challenge myself to reach another level.
For that I thank you my Nordic brother. : )
May your life be filled with perfectly timed shreds, rock on man.

Michael would be so proud.
Awesome

Symbiosis XI I'm assuming you don't know what stage presence is
MJJ Productions I'm assuming youre dumb as hell. Ohp, assumption correct.
Symbiosis XI You're not one to call me dumb when you don't know how to use apostrophes and when you don't know what stage presence is. I, however, know both

2:49 "im a pretty woman"
sorry had to do it xD
Wow, this is a kick ass collection of 'Michael Jackson' covers, good job :-)
Could you imagine Pellek singing this song? Awesomeness!!!
Unless he already has?
Edit: Nevermind he already has lol!!!!
They do the occasional collab as well.
Stephen Bannworth pliz, no one can cover MJ voice :s
Well, I'm pretty sure that he can't given that even though he does have a 4 octave range, it's D2-C6 compared to Michael's F2-F6 range. However, PelleK can go pretty high with his range.
Is it me or do his covers sound better than the originals?? :O
It's not just you.
Depends on the artist or song for me.
run it at X1.25 speed its really cool (the original is uber cool obviously)
+Pele sch Nope.
+Pele sch Epic
at X2 speed looks like cover DragonForce
try .5 lol
ive made a couple of requests but this is the biggest request of all please just keep being you and have a great time like always keep that smile you look like youre havin fun bro i dig that shit much respect to your hardwork and time put in to these videos and thank you. p.s. keep havin fun bro we all are

I did. Don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan? So eat it! Just eat it! :D

I'm not worthy to watch you play........ you are some sort of sorcerer. I'm upset I'm not paying to watch to play.
Truly this man must be some sort of wizard.
I don't like Micheal Jackson but if his musics were like this I'd probably listen to them every night and day. ^^
***** ALL his musics xD
SalamiCC Well, Absolute Entertainment meant that Michael has also songs in which guitar was used like "Beat it" with Van Halen's amazing guitar solo (excelent style of playing called tapping created by him), there are also guitar parts in Black Or White (just start in the beginning), beautiful guitar in Dirty Diana, you should listen Dirty Diana of Jackson from Bad album, his music was pop but this song has something to do with rock.

SalamiCC I would listen to Smooth Criminal by him. That's my favorite.
Michał Mańkowski or give in to me, by mj.
Great playing. Personally I can't stand the eye winking and the smiling & shit-I really hate it but, that's just me. Do your thing..
Lol whats wrong with smiling he is happy nothing wrong with that.
There's nothing wrong with him being happy. Being happy is important. But I suppose I have what you call a rebellious nature; anti establishment.. and I don't know, smiling-winking & metal?
