God damn, +15 and counting? THIS gets a +15 and counting? lol Edit: Just realized this is probably my followers +1 the video, not other youtubers +1 my comment. Goole+UA-cam is weird.
Pretty sure it's because the Lou Bega version of Mambo#5 came out the same year as Livin' La Vida Loca... The two songs feel kind of connected in some weird way to me.
How on earth are you capable of turning an ultra commercial pop song into a dark metal piece of art i can clearly imagine a loud badass voice of hell on this, GG my friend ;)
No mortal man is this good. But, I've witnessed his power first-hand through videos, so it can't be fake. Thus, the only scientific explanation, is that Erock is a cyborg dragon god. Made of metal, happiness, biceps, and damn fine tattoos. Scientific!
ThePretarius Happiness. His sole form of nutrition is the sadness and suffering of people, which he then converts to metal. The metal than creates happiness. There cannot be happiness without sadness, thus he is forever sustained. SCIENCE!
but wouldn't his metal/happiness make other people happy, and eventually wipe out sadness and pain, causing the cyborg dragon god to have no material to work with? then wouldn't he decide to create his own material, causing despair and sadness?
I was six when this song first came out, and I remember I couldn't stop listening to it. Thanks for the FIRE INFUSED trip back to Childhood (except this time I wearing armor and riding a giant tiger made of lightning). What did I just type
I think the one thing that makes me enjoy your videos and compositions more is that you smile each time. You show your passion for music and it just makes the content so much better.
Every time I see you play I just want to pick up my guitar and play for hours and hours... So I do aaaaand I stop straight away because I'm really bad xD
This was beyond words. Everybody was like " this is so awesome " no they are wrong this was soooo good that it can't be put into words Erock you are truly gifted
*Wow. I never thought I'd say I liked this song. But now I do.* You will too. Here's Eric Calderone with his latest masterful salvage of the pop culture wasteland.
Probably the best usage of lyric sampling I've seen so far in your videos. I aspire to a higher grade of speech than screaming emotion, but I find that this tone cannot adequately describe how FUCKING AWESOME this cover is.
Ooh i didn't know you follow this guy Baker, would be awesome for you to use one of the metal versions in one of your vids, maybe a high speed run on your ninja ;) Chhhhyeeeeeaahhhhh!
Again, Im in awe. You made the song not only enjoyable, but very unique. Your technique,sense of melody, and over all control is getting refined daily. Keep up the work. I would be interested to hear your take on a vocally intensive ballad like journey-faithfully,poison-somethin to believe in, or similar. good work!!!
I don't look at the comment section too often but I haven't seen Cruel Angel Thesis mentioned anywhere! Cruel Angel Thesis (Neon Genesis Evangelion Opening) Meets Metal would be awesome!
Dude!!! You really made my day :D You got literaly awesome stuff on your channel, but I wonder why you did not made any games music covers recently. How about some good oldschool RPG's. Maybe battle theme form Golden Sun - Felix or Issac theme. Those are made to be covered in your style and I'd love to see that :) Big thumbs up!!!
wow.. First few strums already caught me... I never thought I could appreciate metal this much. This is pure, awesome talent. Thanks for sharing it to the world.
Hey, Eric, i understand thats kind of a big request, but could you maybe upload two tracks - one like this, with additional tracks added. and the second - clear, your guitar only. You can make the second video private so it wont flood your channel, but give a link to it in the description of first video.
I had the feeling you´ve been doing a lot of TV-melodies the last time... I prefer songs like these. My request is Vivaldis "Winter"... that one would be great
Any band lucky enough to have you in it will most definitely be going places post haste my friend. Hell, it's YOUR band! You pick and choose the talent to ride along with you! Well done and God speed. Cheers.
You have such amazing talent and do an incredible job of doing these songs purely instrumentals! You outstanding and I can't wait too hear all the the new songs you remake
I have absolutely no idea who you are, sir, but you must have read my mind, because when I first stumbled upon this guy's videos, I was thinking the exact same thing! Lol
Hey 331Erock what's your name? Your like my idol man you're always so happy and smiling all the time I love it and I'm glad you love what you do, clearly aha.
Okay. I've been looking at your videos for a while now and I just gotta say, I love your work. And the fct that you smile and generally look like you're having a great time nd enjoying what your doing is a major plus. Hope ya go on and still do ya stuff c:
i cant get the image of donkey out of my head!!!
AAARRGH
I knew someone would mention shrek:-)
***** Shrek introduced me to so many songs! including this one which I absolutely adore!
Suddenly I want to hear a metal version of Mambo #5. I have no idea why, or how that would even work.
God damn, +15 and counting? THIS gets a +15 and counting? lol
Edit: Just realized this is probably my followers +1 the video, not other youtubers +1 my comment. Goole+UA-cam is weird.
Daryl Sawyer I am not a follower of yours and yet I want that cover xD
Pretty sure it's because the Lou Bega version of Mambo#5 came out the same year as Livin' La Vida Loca... The two songs feel kind of connected in some weird way to me.
Axemarloe For me, they're connected by the album "LA Vida Mickey" which had Disney versions of those songs and more

Happiness!?!? Hot Damn!! I'll take 4
ThePretarius Happiness.

The metal than creates happiness.
There cannot be happiness without sadness, thus he is forever sustained.
SCIENCE!

BrassMonster
or people would your comment, realise that the source of Erock's power was finite, and then become sad, thus refilling the source?
ThePretarius then...
METAL AND HAPPINESS FOR ALL!!!
been so long since the last time i heard this song...
im not gay but that wink at the start of every vid gets me. lol
*I'm sure if I was a woman, my ovaries would've exploded by now*
ha hahahhahahhahahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
no homo
Im a woman so i completely agree with you
Splinter Cell fits this song, right Fisher?
My favorite thing about this guy is that he is LOVING it, absolutely loving it.
That's what music is all about, this guy, he gets it. Rock on brother!
i love how he has that smile even thoe he is using alot of comcentration to get it right
I was six when this song first came out, and I remember I couldn't stop listening to it.
Thanks for the FIRE INFUSED trip back to Childhood (except this time I wearing armor and riding a giant tiger made of lightning).
What did I just type
Something extremely epic.
What you wrote is a perfect description of what it feels like to hear Erics metal covers.
@@KaityKat117 hell yeah, I love the vibes of his playing
0:48 "Omg did i do that??? that was cool!!!"
I think that can't get more awesome than that!! You took a pop song that was already awesome and turned into pure metal awesomeness!
Aw, man, this takes me back.
Dude dude dude, why do you have to be so boss
just awesome my friend... totally love it!
Ya gotta love when the classics meet metal.
Or metal meets the classics. They're mostly just sitting around, waiting for the blessing.
WOW! This is the BEST version I have ever heard of this tune INCLUDING the original!
+Viper GTS Agreed. It's not often a cover track is better than the original, but this is certainly among them.
+Viper GTS shrek cover is now a close second if they were put together cities would fall to constant riots over the greatness of the song
I'm never disappointed by his videos, he's too awesome!
I think the one thing that makes me enjoy your videos and compositions more is that you smile each time. You show your passion for music and it just makes the content so much better.
Every metal fangirl PREPARE YOUR OVARIES
Elórin Duvain .3. Perhaps.
MY OVARIES WEREN'T READY FOR THIS
+R. Jackson =-= realleh
+R. Jackson Even though I am not a girl, should I steal some ovaries just to be sure?
TheGlenn8 Yes.
Every time I see you play I just want to pick up my guitar and play for hours and hours... So I do aaaaand I stop straight away because I'm really bad xD
You're not alone.
Who the hell would dislike this???
Bieber fans who can't stand real music.
+SparksFly2323 TRU!!!
+Krešimir Kocijan IKR
+SparksFly2323 LOL
the question should be is,
'who wouldn't like this?'
I need some high quality vocal cover along with this beauty!
+april8tals I vote for the Dragonforce singer to do the vocal track.
This was beyond words. Everybody was like " this is so awesome " no they are wrong this was soooo good that it can't be put into words Erock you are truly gifted
Man this thing hit the ground running and didn't stop. Damn fine job as usual Sir. hats off!
This works surprisingly well as a metal song
I love how happy you are playing every song
*Wow. I never thought I'd say I liked this song. But now I do.*
You will too. Here's Eric Calderone with his latest masterful salvage of the pop culture wasteland.
I love how happy he looks while playing these songs.
I'm glad he has fun with it. I think performances are a lot less enjoyable if the performer looks miserable.
Aren't you being a bit too honest for a tsundere?
Probably the best usage of lyric sampling I've seen so far in your videos. I aspire to a higher grade of speech than screaming emotion, but I find that this tone cannot adequately describe how FUCKING AWESOME this cover is.
OMFG , i dont even like metal and with this i started headbanging ! Also i love that this guy is smiling all the time !
Did not expect this to be one of your songs, but i love it man, it actually fits so perfectly
Awesome cover as always
I love how happy you look while playing, it just adds to how awesome this is
Better than the original 110%, great work bruduh !!!
Ooh i didn't know you follow this guy Baker, would be awesome for you to use one of the metal versions in one of your vids, maybe a high speed run on your ninja ;) Chhhhyeeeeeaahhhhh!
oh shit baker, love your channel dudeson!!
That was awesome... So jelly
This dude makes me so happy. Just look at how smiley his when he plays. He truly loves what he's doing.
your shirt should say the amazing Meets Metal Man...
Didn't know cura was a metal head
Ragicans spamming :D
yes i liek metal. ALOT. and im a human, i watch alot of stuff.
It's weird to see how many people watch the same vids as me.
Again, Im in awe. You made the song not only enjoyable, but very unique. Your technique,sense of melody, and over all control is getting refined daily. Keep up the work. I would be interested to hear your take on a vocally intensive ballad like journey-faithfully,poison-somethin to believe in, or similar. good work!!!
BEAST WARS (transformers) theme meets metal!
↑↑↑↑↑
This!
PLease do that miss that show..
Agreed, dudes

Don't forget Beast Machines Transformers theme meets metal.
1:39 gets me every time
Once ERock covers a song, you never listen to the original again.

Men at Work - Down Under Meets Metal!
Love how you're always smiling while doing this! Rock on man never stop!
Ahhh. . .the national anthem of Mexico
This is seriously the national athem for Mexico? eh, atleast Mexicans can throw one hell of a party with this music.
I damn well hope this is the Mexican anthem. They're doing it wrong if it isn't.
This is NOT the national anthem of México
It's not, I was being politically incorrect with racial intolerance blended in with it.
Brandon Broyles Obvious jokes become facts for idiots. Humans...
You're so good and you're always smiling when you play which makes me even happier listening to your covers! Nice job as always
buckle ups kids we are going on a nostalgia trip
I did not know how much I needed this in my life until now. I cannot stop listening to this!
OH MY GOD THE EARGASMS
0:10 when you and all your friends like the same girl and the winter formal dance is coming up...
Who will get the date? who will be victorious?
I don't look at the comment section too often but I haven't seen Cruel Angel Thesis mentioned anywhere!
Cruel Angel Thesis (Neon Genesis Evangelion Opening) Meets Metal would be awesome!
Erock made my morning so much better now
^^ I think I might have already said this, but I think you should do a cover of "Bad Apple!!" (Sung by Nomico.)
It's great how I can clearly see that you love and enjoy what you do! Keep it up man!
Dude!!! You really made my day :D
You got literaly awesome stuff on your channel, but I wonder why you did not made any games music covers recently. How about some good oldschool RPG's. Maybe battle theme form Golden Sun - Felix or Issac theme. Those are made to be covered in your style and I'd love to see that :)
Big thumbs up!!!
Totally blown away by this. You pretty much always nail it, man, but sometimes, you really freakin' nail it.
HIMYM is coming to an end! Do HIMYM meets metal!!
...Adding the vocals in toward the end there.
I mean I loved the whole thing, but damn...That ending just sold it.
Beautiful~

lay3ez lmetal
wow.. First few strums already caught me... I never thought I could appreciate metal this much. This is pure, awesome talent. Thanks for sharing it to the world.
Hey, Eric, i understand thats kind of a big request, but could you maybe upload two tracks - one like this, with additional tracks added. and the second - clear, your guitar only. You can make the second video private so it wont flood your channel, but give a link to it in the description of first video.
I could listen to you play all day man. I love the way you make that axe whine!
That actually works really, really well.
You're videos always... always puts a smile on my face. Thanks for uploading! You're awesome!
Dude you make every thing cooler when i grow up i want to play like you haha
I love this guys music just because he has so much fun making his videos. You're awesome bro, keep at it.

As a puertorrican who loves metal, I can only thank you for the awesomeness I just heard. Dude you really rock. Im gonna replay this for ever!
[EARGASM INTENSIFIES]
i love it when in every beggining of a song he winks and smiles :D
I had the feeling you´ve been doing a lot of TV-melodies the last time... I prefer songs like these.
My request is Vivaldis "Winter"... that one would be great
Amazing! The smile you have throughout makes it that much more amazing! I love watching your videos!
I love the Livin La Vida Loki!
thats wat this song is lol
I don't think he's keeping the cover in sync with the song or staying in key (Cm)
Didn't knew there were a lot of gay people around?
Loki Laufeyson its in C#m dummy. and who gives a fuck?
Any band lucky enough to have you in it will most definitely be going places post haste my friend.
Hell, it's YOUR band! You
pick and choose the talent
to ride along with you!
Well done and God speed.
Cheers.
"Tank!" by The Seatbelts from Cowboy bebop, please!
When I first saw the title, I realized how amazing it could be. And it turned out even better than what I expected! Definitely going in my favorites.
This could easily be used for an anime haha.
it was...
haotian15 huh? Elaborate!
@@xxxShadoW92 Shrek 2
Just wanted to say you're fuckin awesome dude. You legit make the hardest licks look easy as hell with your almost effortless play.
I'd like to see take on me by A-Ha
You have such amazing talent and do an incredible job of doing these songs purely instrumentals! You outstanding and I can't wait too hear all the the new songs you remake
Is it sad that my first exposure to this song was one of the Shrek movies?
+Takeru Takaishi Nah its fine.

Its fine
i love seeing how happy you are! amazing!

LIVIN' LA VIDA LOKI? Oh my Gods of Asgard
+Hana Keindlová I didn't expect this comment here, but again, Internet managed to surprised me.
Loki's Army is everywhere
The new Godzilla movie is coming out in six weeks and I was wondering if you could do the Godzilla main theme meets metal
It's in the line up of videos he's going to release
I'm pretty sure that you were made by metal gods that have sent you down to Earth to show us about everything can be metal.
Keep rocking man!
Man if I could play like that Id be smiling all the time too. lol
There's already a pretty badass cover of this by Bury Tomorrow. Love that smile and spirit in your playing!
Hey 331Erock what's your name? Your like my idol man you're always so happy and smiling all the time I love it and I'm glad you love what you do, clearly aha.
