It's always nice to know someone is thankful of their talent when they smile as soon as they start playing. I wish to enjoy guitar this much myself some day.
Your videos make me want to go pick up my guitar and try once again to learn to actually play it. Then I remember my hand coordination and posture suck, and that I consequentially suck at playing my guitar. Then I get sad. So I go watch some of your videos to cheer me up. ...It's a vicious cycle, really.
Dude you're Awesome!!! Castlevania is one of my favorites franchises ever, and what you did here is just amazing! I really enjoy to see you playing, that smile on your face shows how you enjoy what you do. On these days many guitarrists play for fame, what i can see on your face is that you play because you really enjoy it. when i grow up, i want to be like you!! (i'm 25 so this phrase is kind of a ridiculous joke here in mexico). Greetings!
sandy navarro Traducción: Tío, eres increíble! Castlevania es una de mis franquicias favoritas, y lo que has hecho es simplemente increíble! Me encanta verte tocar, la sonrisa en tu cara enseña cuanto disfrutas lo que haces. En estos días muchos guitarristas tocan por fama, lo que veo en tu cara es que tocas porque realmente lo disfrutas. Cuando crezca, quiero ser como tú!! (Tengo 25 años, así que esta frase parece un chiste ridículo en México). Saludos!
You know the moment when a certain sound takes you back to 1987 on a CRT TV with the NES you got for Christmas the year before? Yep, just hit me and it was awesome. Almost like I was there. Thanks man! Love what ya do, keep it up!!
Dude. Just discovered your channel. Awesome. The fact that you included some Dimmu Borgir with Castlevania just makes me squeel with joy. And i don't do that.
Altough the whole song is amazing the part from 1.03 to 1.19 was just something that i couldnt resist and my memories just bursted out along with feelings... Bloddy tears. Where is my youth.
Nofx , the best punk band in the world. Started listening to when I was a youngster, I’m 47 years old ,actually turn 47 today and I still listen to nofx everyday! Thanks for reacting to their songs. They are amazing.
Fck I love your music the fact the joy in your face shows how much you love doing your craft makes it that much more awesome keep bringing the fckn heat
I can't believe it took me 6 fucking years to discover this song.. I have been looking for this type of metal cover for as long as I can remember. There are a few good ones out there; however, your style is truly outstanding. Thankfully it lead me to your channel where I spent the last few hours listening. Keep up the amazing work man!!!!!!!!!
Aleksandar Lazarov The last good Castlevanias were ones like SoTN, LoD, CoTM, and Aos in my opinion. The new Gears of war/beat em up stuff doesn't do it for me.
I like the way you play, you're always smiling! It makes us feel that what you playing is so easy, heh! You reminds me of Dave Murray from Iron Maiden, who used to smile all the time too! And please, take this as a compliment, beacuse I love your job, dude!! Cheers from Brasil, my friend!
Did you play and record the rhythm guitar track with the same guitar in adavance? And is there also a bass track? Good job on the drums as well, very creative. And the lead.... not to mention... just great \m/
Not gonna lie man. I just wrecked the shit out of 8bit Drac on Castlevania HD jamming this the whole time with the final slow melody marking the mother fucker's death.
Damn good job, could tell you were having fun by the barely concealed shit eating grin lol...solos and solo like parts were always my fave...the more the challenge the more the glory to be had.
AWESOME!! Came back after years over here,think this is the video i found you by since im a huge castlevania fan. Your due to make a few more castlevania tunes like ,theme of simon,vampire killer ,beginning or the tragic prince from symphony of the night would be epic too.
What a horrible night to have a curse. Thankfully, the amazing metal has vanquished the horrible night.
+Styx and co But everyone knows Symphony of the Night is the best Castlevania game ever made, then Portrait of Ruin
Zeoinx I prefer Super Castlevania X and Aria of Sorrow, tbh
+Zeoinx You spelled Super Castlevania wrong. But Symphony of the Night still kicks ass.
+xXInfXx That was clever :)
Devil's Castle Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
I mean, the music is fucking amazing, but the best part for me is always the way he starts smiling as soon as he gets to playing.
+Daniel Gehring Can't help but to smile along.
It's always nice to know someone is thankful of their talent when they smile as soon as they start playing. I wish to enjoy guitar this much myself some day.
+Daniel Gehring Definition of infectious smile: See Eric Calderone
He's just that badass
When playing guitar it's a requirement to either smile while playing or look like you just ate something super sour.
What a horrible night to have a curse
Go back to Charlie Parra
He's bad ass too. Love that guy! They are both good! : ))
"What a wonderful night to boogie." FTFY
More like “What an amazing night to be blessed with those guitar skillz!”
Hell yeah
Dude, you always have smile on your face when you play. It's called a passion for music. This is soo inspiring!!! Thanks!!!
3:47 dimmu borgir progencies of the great apocalypse i like how you worked that in there
As a teenager in the 80s they called this a prodigy not just a guitar player - that solo/middle section goes places regular players never do
what a horrible night for a curse...
Erock's amazing music has vanquished the horrible night.
Your videos make me want to go pick up my guitar and try once again to learn to actually play it.

Boo!

I guess Lord Alucard disapproves?
I ment to scare not boo at him.
His work is awesome and I love it.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.
I have a sudden urge to go out and beat up some vampires with a metal chain. Quick, point me in the direction of the Cullens! They're my first target!

WorldWalker128 Of course you can, the more the merrier! ^^
This is fucking amazing, my only complaint is that Castlevania was already metal.
yea i agree
Well some of it Bloody tears wasnt and thats the main song of this video it was mostly an organ sounding instrament
Dude you're Awesome!!! Castlevania is one of my favorites franchises ever, and what you did here is just amazing!

sandy navarro Me da gracia como algo te gusta sin entenderlo. Solo se me viene a la mente que te gusta por que haya escrito mexico. ahahahaha
all the belmonts feels proud of your cover
your tone is stainless. This is my favorite castlevania medley.
You know the moment when a certain sound takes you back to 1987 on a CRT TV with the NES you got for Christmas the year before? Yep, just hit me and it was awesome. Almost like I was there. Thanks man! Love what ya do, keep it up!!
Magical music, magical cover... my head didn't stop banging
It is currently Nov 18, 2015. Over 4 years later and this has to still be one of my favorites on this channel.
What a horrible night to have a curse.
Kiritsune What a great night to have a curse.
Kiritsune Enter Shanoa.
"I am the morning sun, come to vanquish this horrible night."
+Nicholas Rodriguez i think minecraft stole that idea

Goosebumps. I'm an old fart now but this still gets the ol' Belmont blood flowing.
This song makes me want to buy a whip.
oh...
And Ghost-Ride it?
No a Whip Metal
Not gonna lie; that is the best comment EVER.
This song makes me destroy want to destroy candles with a whip...
(Also, I need turkey too.)
Looks like Loki found a new hobby.
I love he threw in that Dimmu Borgir at the end. Sick 🤘
Your neighbors must love you.
I wouldn't mind living next to this guy.
Alex Downs
Defo ! lol
they're probably sleeping so they cant hear it anyway
yeah they must love him (or hate him)
He doesnt have any now, they moved.
Dimmu borgir song at the end of the video :D
+Moon Hellrider Progenies of the grand Apocalypse I believe Erock I salute you XD
Pathogen42 Thanks Bro ;)
Holy crap, I had no idea Loki was so amazing at guitar! Nice job sir!
Fck I love your music the fact the joy in your face shows how much you love doing your craft makes it that much more awesome keep bringing the fckn heat
SICKKKKKKKKKKKK🤟🤟🤟. This song got me so pumped I started whipping the candles in my house, found a pork chop.
He looks so happy while playing haha
At last, a decent cover of Bloody tears.
Rules R
If it's most be deleted (is can be) or note the choices are yours (the com)
Comment's can be deleted (not my choice
jesus 7 yrs later and im still listening to this and giving a thumbs up!
his face though... pure enjoyment from making these covers :D
3:47 - Dimmu Borgir!
I thought I was the only one here. Whew! Dude, that slayed me.
Melissa Lloyd Progenies of the Great Apocalypse :3
Derlino Yus! The first song I heard of theirs. Been in love ever since.
I just CTRL-Fed "Dimmu" to see if anyone else caught it.
same thought here
Watch on 1.5x speed, it's fucking epic!!!
holy fuuck! thats right!!!
+Zero I can actually play this that fast on an electric mallet instrument or piano. It sounds awesome, especially on electric guitar setting.

Goddammit, Bloody tears, is such a good tune, it gets me pumped every time and you nail it man, you f*ck'n nail it.
awesome job!
Castlevania is like my favorite retro series of all time
They are good modern Castlevania's man like Symphony of the Night and Down of sorrow
Aleksandar Lazarov I wouldn't really call Symphony of the Night modern. It was a 1997 game. Still good as hell, though.
Dethbot4 Symphony Of the Night wasn't good..............it was damn amazing! :P
o27001 indeed it was... best games for me where from that time (95-00) ocarina of time, symphony of the night, goldeneye....
Aleksandar Lazarov
The last good Castlevanias were ones like SoTN, LoD, CoTM, and Aos in my opinion. The new Gears of war/beat em up stuff doesn't do it for me.
331Erock using a Vampirekiller Axe ;-)
That Progenies of The Great Apocalypse by Dimmu Borgir at the end, nice touch.
OOoh that cheeky progenies of the great apocalypse segment was splendid!
I liked this video so much, I immediately went home and stuffed whole chickens in my walls.
Erock's music has vanquished the horrible night
the song bloody tears... damn now its stuck in my head again ahhhh!
Holy crap I made this a ringtone the week you aired it and it’s working on it’s 4th phone now!
Was that some Dimmu Borgir at the end?? Great work, Castlevania is one of my favorites!!!
Erock is always smiling because he thinks: I´am the best bitches. xD
Erock is always smiling because he -thinks- knows: I am the best, bitches. xD
FIFY
The "Crucifix Held Close" section was superb.
I love that he kills it effortlessly and a smirk on his face the whole time.
Lmao, wow i like how you ended it with Dimmu Borgir, then back to bloody tears. Awesome job.
I jizzed holy water while listening to this and I was okay with that.
I am NOT okay with that.
凄く楽しそうに弾きますね！
しかもめちゃくちゃ上手い。
素敵なbloodytearです。
man, I wasn't expecting you to play the intro scale, you're fuckin excellent man. all support. hope you're still going.
WHAT A SICK NIGHT TO HAVE AN AWESOME UA-cam VIDEO
ok this doesn't work when it's that long..
I want some turkey from the wall right now
jesus christ, still the best on youtube. im so happy i refound u again bro. your skills are godlike
Guy doesn't need no crucifix or whip to slay a vampire,just his mighty AXE!
I think my brain is bleeding from how awesome this is.
I like the way you play, you're always smiling! It makes us feel that what you playing is so easy, heh! You reminds me of Dave Murray from Iron Maiden, who used to smile all the time too! And please, take this as a compliment, beacuse I love your job, dude!!
Cheers from Brasil, my friend!
The forbidden combinations are always the sweetest.
Been listening to this cover for the past 5 years at least so f****** awesome :)
Fuck... Now I want To Buy a Nes with Castlevania And Play All Night...!!!
Or download the VC version on either the 3ds or the Wii U
I prefer to be with the original controller playing it...
I Know... But is never the Same Feeling... You know, I Want to have the Console with the original Game and The Original Controller xD
I have a NES, and I just bought the game. :D
(You can use NES controller with PC) But yeah, the real deal is the REAL deal, GOOD LUCK tho, try not to rage, medusa heads :3
You should do a duet with smooth mcgroove, that would be beyond awesomeness
fuck yeah man!
That... would.... be... too... EPIC...to...destroy....the...world....
I wanna see that!!! You're a genius!!!
yes
ur videos r soo addictive i don't know what i like more the way u play or that gorgeous smile :)

Castlevania and metal, truly a match made in Heaven.
+Maria Isabella or hellllllll muahhaahahahahahahaha
Sounds Dragonforce-y. Cool as hell. Keep up the good work.
It sounds like dragon force because their both power Metal
Listen it again at 1.5x and it's indistinguishable from them ^ ^
I cant get enough... pls never ever stop posting as long as you are playing with such Passion and joy 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
If this is 12 years old, this guy is some sort of time traveler. Epic AF. Also big props @2:40 for the Poison Mind cameo.
Nice little Dimmu ending there
My mind literally EXPLODED when he started playing! No words can describe what has been heard tonight. \m/(>.
This is and always will be my most favorite video of yours .
Kudos to you, Eric. You're the best.
Omg Love. Now Im hooked. You started off with Bloody Tears my favorite. You take all of my child hood and make it metallic, instant subscribe.
Did you play and record the rhythm guitar track with the same guitar in adavance? And is there also a bass track? Good job on the drums as well, very creative. And the lead.... not to mention... just great \m/
Not gonna lie man. I just wrecked the shit out of 8bit Drac on Castlevania HD jamming this the whole time with the final slow melody marking the mother fucker's death.
The most metal thing in my life.
You know, it's gotta be really fun being you.
Look at that smirk. You're so happy!
The Joy in his Face while playing this is awesome :D
84 fangless vampires didn't liked it...! One of the best Blood Tears rendition I ever heard! Amazing job, man!
This and Skyrim are in my opinion your best covers.
Love your work man. It's phenominal. I wish you'd come back to this style of playing!
Damn good job, could tell you were having fun by the barely concealed shit eating grin lol...solos and solo like parts were always my fave...the more the challenge the more the glory to be had.
WAIT! Is that 3:46 DIMMU BORGIR - Progenies of The Great Apocalypse? Intro?
And yes i still watch this 2019. Sick Vid!

SWEET ROCK N' ROLL JESUS!
oh the Memories, amazing series, first castlevania I ever played was symphony of the Night
Just awesome, total pleasure to listen to you always !
The beginning sounds like something you'd hear when a dbz character gets a new ultimate transformation
Imagine super saiyan blue 3 or super saiyan 5
kaaaaaaa....mmmmaaaa.....
was looking for this, it`s like a more metal version of the majin buu theme
Was dat progenies of the great apocalipse at the end?
indeed it was Demon Burger
pure awesomeness!!!! thanks a lot for that, you're a great guitar player
AWESOME!! Came back after years over here,think this is the video i found you by since im a huge castlevania fan. Your due to make a few more castlevania tunes like ,theme of simon,vampire killer ,beginning or the tragic prince from symphony of the night would be epic too.
