Let's see if my Sonic Fannerdom can name the songs he plays: 1: Sonic 2: Chemical Plant Zone. 2: Sonic 2: Emerald Hill Zone. 3: Sonic 2: Invincibility. 4: Back to Sonic 2: Remix of Chemical Plant Zone. 5: Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM): Fastest Thing Alive. 6: Sonic 2: Stage Clear.
+Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ I for one love the Chemical Plant zone part over the rest of it. Not saying that the rest isn't good, but it could have used some Mystic Cave zone.
Sonic, he can really move. Sonic, he's got an attitude. Sonic, he's the fastest thing alive! He's the fastest thing alive! HE'S THE FASTEST THING ALIVE!!
In Game Theory's video about Sonic, it's pointed out that Robotnik can accelerate faster than Sonic but their top speeds are equal. This is according to Robotnik fleeing after being defeated in the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. All data was collected from in-game speeds. Sonic maybe FTL in the comics and other media but that's disregarded.
Just played Modern Sonic in Generations to this song. Matched perfectly with Green Hill Zone and ended right when the scores were finished tallying. Sweet.
ever since Crush 40 left SEGA I've always felt like the Sonic themes sound....off. thanks to the SA series, when I think of a 3D sonic game, I usually associate that with Metal, so thanks Erock for bringing the Metal genera back to Sonic. :3
12 years later and this is still the best sonic cover. The skill is absolutely superb. Also love that you can't help but grin when you're nailing the hard shit lol.
331 I would like to say that ive downloaded your song and everytime i walk my dog, i always have the song playing while walking her. Thank you so much for the awesome music
So awesome. Hey, i know you get a million requests, but if you covered Thundercats, I will name my firstborn child "Erock". The ball is in your court, my lord.
A tribute to how awesome Sega used to be, MAN did those fuckers know how to make music, I even listen to sonic 2 music while playing GTA V or some other game. The only other game title that has been able to do that is C&C Red Alert 2.
Like your shit so much man just subscribe to your channel! Sorry for the shit part it is not the place not the time to use such word... anyway continu To make those beautifuls covers. Just one thing: you fucking rock dude! Dawn cursing again Well who give à shit.
That must have been such a blast to put together. Got me smiling at the end when you inserted part of the Sonic SATam theme in there! Love what you did with Chemical Plant Zone too, for it's one of my most favorite tracks from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. :D
I saw a segment of your Spiderman meets metal on bidipi, and decided to come check out the whole video. I am glad I did, because you are awesome. I've watched about six of your meets metal videos and I have enjoyed everyone of them. you definitely have a new subscriber and fan. Keep it up!
This actually gave me chills, chemical plant from sonic 2 is my absolute favourite sonic theme of all time, great choice in opening with that. Love all your meets metal videos!
You may want to look up some of the OCRemix tracks by Snappleman - they did metal covers of a few Sonic & Knuckles tracks, like Doomsday Zone, Flying Battery Zone, and the final boss theme. And Braincells did a cover of Sandopolis Zone! Sadly, I don't know of any videos of them performing them like a la Erock, though. :(
OMG this guy singlehanded my captured my entire childhood in an awesome fckng cover!!! Bravo good sir, you have brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face!! Subscribed!!
I don't know how much more I can handle of this man's covers. Like this makes so freaking happy. This could put me in a good mood on any day I'm sure! Ahhh! And this makes me wanna play Sonic!
I found this trough your metal version of Death Waltz... but when I saw this as a related link... You are automatically my favourite guitarist on UA-cam! :D
This makes me smile more than Erock himself playing it. Sonic always made me happy, and played the hell out of it when I was a kid on my old Sega Genisis.
5 seconds in, the awesomeness already made my eyes wet, with essence of childhood. Thank you so much for this one. I owe you big time! Edit: Oh thank you for also including the intro to Sonic SatAM :D With this one, the Mortal Kombat one, the Streetfighter and Duke Nukem themes, I know my childhood is safe and sound on your channel. Simply epic!
OMG! You are so amazing for doing this! Sonic is my all time favorite video game character! Loved him as a kid and still do! Metal and Sonic equals HELL YEAH!
It's like he took my childhood, melted it down into its purest form, shaped that into a golden sword, dipped it in chocolate, threw it into a volcano, and rode the fiery lava dragon that emerged from the ensuing explosion.
Sounds like there's a tapping solo on the backing track going along with some of your tapping solos on there. Sounds amazing. Wish I could play like that.
For anybody who doesn't know the songs: 1) Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) 2) Emerald Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) 3) Invincibility Theme (Sonic the Hedgehog/ Sonic the Hedgehog 2) 4) See number 1 5) Sonic SatAM theme 6) Stage Clear (Sonic the Hedgehog/Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
\M/ that was so cool! You need to make another Sonic version with every old song from sonic 1-3 and then do the Go Green Ranger part of the Power Rangers song!
Makes me feel weird how crappy the camera was back then and the background was too casual and we couldn't even see the whole of his guitar. Now we see both him and his guitars in the perfect angle and he sometimes uses greenscreen and even cosplays a character from what he's playing... **sniff** our epic Eric has grown so much
Great! Classics. For those of you wondering the last theme with lyrics is not Sonic X, but Rather the original Saturday morning Sonic Cartoon opener that Dic produced featuring Jaleel White as Sonic's voice. For more information about this awesome early nineties cartoon type in Sonic SATAM. There you can get all the information on what I consider the best animated Sonic series of all that has been released in the US
I know its not like your other videos, but I'd kill to see you cover some dream theater solos. Something like Stream of Consciousness, The Shattered Fortress or Fatal Tragedy... :')

Chemical Zone never sounded so good in metal
I want to play this stage with the metal version to kick ass!
Thought it was Chemical Plant but just needed someone to confirm for me
Let's see if my Sonic Fannerdom can name the songs he plays:
1: Sonic 2: Chemical Plant Zone.
2: Sonic 2: Emerald Hill Zone.
3: Sonic 2: Invincibility.
4: Back to Sonic 2: Remix of Chemical Plant Zone.
5: Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM): Fastest Thing Alive.
6: Sonic 2: Stage Clear.
+Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ yeah i here those as well, but the last originates from the first game. It is also used in sonic 2 and 3, so over all you are correct
+Vent'sGameShack Sonic 3 uses a different Stage Clear theme. It's used loads in the modern games.
+Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ I for one love the Chemical Plant zone part over the rest of it. Not saying that the rest isn't good, but it could have used some Mystic Cave zone.
+Sanic Hegehog Needed Lava Reef, as well. Lyk wtf m9.
you are super awesome for guessing that 👏👏👏🖒🖒🖒
They lied. Sonic isn't the fastest thing alive. Your fingers are.
...Giggity.
Sonic is to the fastest thing alive you lier
chloe Kovacs
Look at you, missing the joke. I hope it's deliberate. :P
+thelastholdout you never saw a man playing at 3200 bpm did you? =.= but Sonic still the fastest thing alive \o
+chloe Kovacs sanic is faster
imagine sonic rocking it out like dante!
I'm a guy, but dammi, I love you. Seriously, don't tell my girlfriend, but I love you.
That's a bit much, isn't it? He's a good guitarist, I'll give you that, and yknow what to each their own, but I rather think that's a bit full-on
@@williamhardway6436 It's called joking purposeful exaggeration. Don't take everything you read _literally._ :p
This guy NEEDS to join Crush40.
poopdogg666
Heck. I like Crush40.
yoshiarta9000 I don't think Sonic Boom was made by Crush 40 tho.
Zadamanim
The original sonic boom wasn't, no. But they did sing it once.
or Daniel Tidwell
SpongeBob SquarePants well more like a colab
Sonic, he can really move.
Sonic, he's got an attitude.
Sonic, he's the fastest thing alive!
He's the fastest thing alive!
HE'S THE FASTEST THING ALIVE!!
But Eggman can run faster than him
Twilight Blade He can only run as fast as Sonic. Same speed, and no faster.
Kyle Oppenheimer Are you telling me that sonic isn't so fast? Or that egg man is also indeed fast.
In Game Theory's video about Sonic, it's pointed out that Robotnik can accelerate faster than Sonic but their top speeds are equal. This is according to Robotnik fleeing after being defeated in the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. All data was collected from in-game speeds. Sonic maybe FTL in the comics and other media but that's disregarded.
k.
I guess you can say that Erock created METAL Sonic.... I'll see myself out
Get your a** back in here!
You aint lying dude. This dude has so much raw talent it makes my head spin
Nine years later, this is your video that I revisit the most.
That should be the Metal sonic theme
Cool
valygomu I see what you did there friend. *Slow Clap*

METAL SONIC AND METAL SHADOW APPROVE OF THIS
Ohh shit!! he closed with the intro to the Sonic Sat AM Show!! That song has been stuck in my head for like 20 years! Great job man.
Just played Modern Sonic in Generations to this song. Matched perfectly with Green Hill Zone and ended right when the scores were finished tallying. Sweet.
Allen Babylon How batman called his dick?, nightwing
TheAzther1 I'm sorry, I don't get it.
thats nightwing right?, well.. the real name of nightwing is dick grayson and him was the first robin ;)
TheAzther1 Yeah, but I wasn't certain if you were mocking me or not.
the nostalgia!! I love how happy you look in all you videos, it makes the experience even better. You rock dude!
Starting out with chemical plant made me happy! Great job!
I hate the stage chemical zone so much, I always got stuck on it as a kid but this is awesome
I would sell my soul to the Devil if I could be as good as him playing the guitar.
Yes, without any hesitation.
Shawn Robinson you could also practice..and save yourself the eternal torment
I practice everyday like 2-4 hours but still. I would sell my soul to the devil.like a little speed up.
It's not where you are, but how you got there

331 I would like to say that ive downloaded your song and everytime i walk my dog, i always have the song playing while walking her. Thank you so much for the awesome music
stop being so greedy and let your dog listen to a masterpiece some.
"Happiest metalhead ever making perfect songs even more perfect" should be the official description of the channel. Keep rocking !
pretty freakin awesome, but you need some sonic 3!
Sounds so fucking clean bro I love it!
If the 8 or 16bit consoles could do proper sound i think Sonic would have sounded like this
Awesome. There's a megaman one too
Yea I heard that one as well! Also how it would have sounded
"Sonic he the fastest thing that's alive" haha
Ooh...The Zelda One
Jurassic Park is Good also
when you smile, it makes me smile. keep up the good work bro and keep on doing what you love
82 people only played mario
Jun Senoue would be proud.
PLEASE do a full version of the SatAM theme!
New theme for Sonic Boom? :3
Btw Im adding you to my sub list Erock
Talented and seriously good looking
My entire childhood just flashed before my eyes and now I have tears of joy, keep up the good work bro!
They should've hired him for Sonic Generations!
You should do a metal cover of city escape!!! It would be awesome!!
Dude, I freakin' love the fact that you took your AWESOME talent and decided to apply it to something like VGM! MAXIMUM PWNAGE!!!
Can it metal? yes it can!
dude! you just tore my arse in two!
no homo
the smile on his face when he play all the songs... that no have price... he enjoy a lot when play all the songs!
So awesome. Hey, i know you get a million requests, but if you covered Thundercats, I will name my firstborn child "Erock". The ball is in your court, my lord.
Not sure if it really meets metal though
BrooklynHeritage
he can make anything sound metal, you should know by now, you tarnish his name with such doubt! lol
He takes not metal things, and bridges the gap, causing it to "meet metal".
*****
Btw his name is Eric Calderone, so that would probably be a better name. Just sayin
Erock is better. I guess thats why he made his tag Erock, because it sounded better. Otherwise, it would have been 331Eric, right?
This Sonic fan is very satisfied with this.
This song is incredible for cardio. It just keeps you going.
A tribute to how awesome Sega used to be, MAN did those fuckers know how to make music, I even listen to sonic 2 music while playing GTA V or some other game. The only other game title that has been able to do that is C&C Red Alert 2.
AWESOME!!!
What blows my mind is your near-flawless mixing and mastering straight out of your bedroom!
Like your shit so much man just subscribe to your channel! Sorry for the shit part it is not the place not the time to use such word... anyway continu To make those beautifuls covers. Just one thing: you fucking rock dude! Dawn cursing again Well who give à shit.
So who wants to challenge him to some Guitar Hero?? Lmao
Demented77 wouldn't he just play the real thing instead of the game?
Hah! The emerald stage finish! Perfect ending to a kickass arrangement. You should do a Sonic Starlight Zone arrangement.
Way past cool dude!
Sonic would be proud!
I am proud
+Sanic Hegehog omg I've seen the sanic meme it says "gotta go fast." in fact, somebody made a fake game cover for "Sanic Colers" lol
You don't have to be from the 90's to appreciate this song. I was born in 1999 and i love sonic games.
Metal Sonic? LOL XD
Sanic
+Angélica Ortega Original meme.
At ~2:36, right after the end of the sonic 2 invincibility music and the jump/three ring chime, what tune is playing?
HODOR :D:D:D:D:D:DD:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D.... hodor
Sonic parts were great, but the improv parts...eh.
I think it spiced it up a bit and made it more awesome. But hey, we all have a different opinion!
Nor9864 It strayed away from what he was trying to cover.
*****
just listen to his songs as you sleep and you appreciate his work even more :D
I agree, they did seem a little tacked on, but they sounded nice, excellent playing
***** without improvisations, it would just be a "cover" enjoy it!
That must have been such a blast to put together. Got me smiling at the end when you inserted part of the Sonic SATam theme in there! Love what you did with Chemical Plant Zone too, for it's one of my most favorite tracks from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. :D
Thank you for making these, they are reaaaaally amazing, You're super Talented.
:D
rofl love the smirk on your face knowing how awesome it sounds haha
I saw a segment of your Spiderman meets metal on bidipi, and decided to come check out the whole video. I am glad I did, because you are awesome. I've watched about six of your meets metal videos and I have enjoyed everyone of them. you definitely have a new subscriber and fan. Keep it up!
He already did, back in January. Just a little searching on his page and you'd see that.
I love how you clearly are having fun while playing. Awesome work!
This actually gave me chills, chemical plant from sonic 2 is my absolute favourite sonic theme of all time, great choice in opening with that. Love all your meets metal videos!

you mixed my current life with my childhood. THANK YOU and great job
WOW. Not only is this outrageously faithful AND intense as fuck... but the wrap-up was COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. Well played, sir.
OMG this guy singlehanded my captured my entire childhood in an awesome fckng cover!!! Bravo good sir, you have brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face!! Subscribed!!
I can't believe this slipped through my radar. This is an amazing job, like your other videos. Keep this up! \m/
I don't know how much more I can handle of this man's covers.
Like this makes so freaking happy. This could put me in a good mood on any day I'm sure! Ahhh! And this makes me wanna play Sonic!
I found this trough your metal version of Death Waltz... but when I saw this as a related link...
You are automatically my favourite guitarist on UA-cam! :D
You combined my two favorite things! I think I might cry T.T you're so awesome
This makes me smile more than Erock himself playing it.
Sonic always made me happy, and played the hell out of it when I was a kid on my old Sega Genisis.
5 seconds in, the awesomeness already made my eyes wet, with essence of childhood. Thank you so much for this one. I owe you big time!
Edit: Oh thank you for also including the intro to Sonic SatAM :D
With this one, the Mortal Kombat one, the Streetfighter and Duke Nukem themes, I know my childhood is safe and sound on your channel. Simply epic!
This...makes me unbelievably happy! It takes me back to one of the best parts of my childhood but it is now an amazing reminder of good times!
Badass. The best genre of music meets one of my favorite video game franchises of all time
OMG! You are so amazing for doing this! Sonic is my all time favorite video game character! Loved him as a kid and still do! Metal and Sonic equals HELL YEAH!
How, how can you feel the "spirit" of the music (not only this) soooo well...
It's like he took my childhood, melted it down into its purest form, shaped that into a golden sword, dipped it in chocolate, threw it into a volcano, and rode the fiery lava dragon that emerged from the ensuing explosion.
2018 and still one of my favorite songs of yours.
Sounds like there's a tapping solo on the backing track going along with some of your tapping solos on there. Sounds amazing. Wish I could play like that.
Guy,perfomancing silverhawks opening theme,those80s cartoon,this guitar cover is amazing.
I adore the way he has that unquenchable smile on his face. It's obvious that he love what he's playing.
YOU'RE THE BEST! (I can't imagine what you could do performing Escape from the city in metal version!)
For anybody who doesn't know the songs:
1) Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
2) Emerald Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
3) Invincibility Theme (Sonic the Hedgehog/ Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
4) See number 1
5) Sonic SatAM theme
6) Stage Clear (Sonic the Hedgehog/Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
Awesome mix and the SatAM theme at the end was the icing on the cake
Eric yes? Man it's been a minute since I watched your videos, but know they still go hard and kick ass years later
feels like turn back my childhood
1:38
I...I think I just shed a tear.
Huge sonic fan, this brings new life to the great melodies i heard growing up. Keep up the great work!
Should have done the intro they used on Generations, the modern remix of chem plant gives me goosebumps at the start.
dont know if you take request, but a full version of fastest thing alive would be friggen awsome!
I love how he has a cheeky grin the whole time he's playing
Loved to play Sonic 2 on that ol Sega Megadrive..! I kinda really miss it! Great job on the music, magic E! Keep up the great work!
OMG you are bringing back memories! keep up the amazing work!
11 years later and this still slaps
This is just amazing all of your metal covers are amazing!!!! Oh hey if you didnt do already can you do the sonic color theme song?
\M/ that was so cool! You need to make another Sonic version with every old song from sonic 1-3 and then do the Go Green Ranger part of the Power Rangers song!
All these videos remind me of the music in the 3D Sonic games, really. That's not an insult. The music in those games is the best thing about them.
You should do Modern Sonic meets metal, going from around Sonic Adventure to the present. Open Your Heart, Live and Learn, Endless Possibilities, etc.
Makes me feel weird how crappy the camera was back then and the background was too casual and we couldn't even see the whole of his guitar. Now we see both him and his guitars in the perfect angle and he sometimes uses greenscreen and even cosplays a character from what he's playing... **sniff** our epic Eric has grown so much
Great! Classics.

You are just so smiley! It's so contagious!!
