Dude I've probably watched this video like 200 times. Personally I feel this is your best work - that fucking solo has amazing phrasing and my face melts every time I hear it. Then I watch the video again and then my skull boils and falls to the floor. Then I watch it again and my ears catch on fire, my eyes pop out of what remains of my head, and I'm like "holy fuck I feel like a freight train just hit me." Wow dude. Just wow.
Whoever didn't sing out loud "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHWAAAAAAAAAAAY TOOOOOO THEEEE DAAAANGER ZOOOOONE!" is either playing the song like 331Erock does here oh so perfectly, or a monster.
One thing I enjoy about this young man performing for us on UA-cam, is that he wears a smile. We all need good music from a talented individual that wears a smile, to put a smile on our faces. Rock on young one! Much appreciated hearing/seeing your talent!
Gotta say, no matter how good you are, nothing will be cooler than seeing your love for playing. So many people are great guitarists but almost look like they are trying to be serious or look hard playing! Props to you for showing that awesome smile and your love for your own and others music, it really makes the experience of watching you play that much greater.
Pretty awesome! I personally would have liked to see a breakdown in the middle where you go into a sweet version of the Top Gun theme, but this was still awesome. P.S. The best line in that movie is, "Slider, you stink."
I've known for years that this song had real metal lurking beneath it's pop-rock outer shell...but you sir, are first I've seen who has successfully peeled away that shell to reveal the iron underneath. Seriously awesome, dude. \m/\m/
Love it. You are truly gifted to be able to elevate seemingly any song of any genre to awesomeness. But I wonder, what would another Kenny Loggins hit sound like...a metal version Footloose?
I heard a version of this by Jettblack a few months back, and loved the heavy vibe they gave it - I imagined it would be an amazing 'Meets Metal', and here we are! Good work yet again, Eric!
so badass,,, also grew up with his music (he did damn near every movie when i was a kid) plus top gun is one of my favorite movies and this is still one of my favorite songs.. very cool man... plus you are insanely good lol
What makes your videos so fun to watch is not only that your music sounds great but also simply seeing how much fun you have playing guitar. Keep up your awesome work! ^^
I had given it serious thought but at the time I couldn't afford eye surgery and i had a ways to go on my degree. Ended up getting married and my wife said no. So now I'm working on earning enough money to buy my own jet, or helicopter, one day.
I love this tune. One of the many great 80's hard rock hits. You should also do "I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)" which was in the movie Footloose (along with the song "Footloose"). Aside from this, that song would be my favorite of Loggins'.
I was kidding. Anyone who watch him play regularly would know it wasn't him. I've been subscribed to his channel for 2 years now. I started watching because of gangnam style and got hooked to guile's theme, and then kept coming back for more castlevania goodness and such... He is getting better and better over the years. It's astonishing seeing someone already really good improve so much. Only on the internet my friends!
If you could, could you maybe do a metal version of "Zero to Hero" from Disney's Hercules? I feel like that would be ripe for some fucking radical shredding.
Sick lick on one of my favorite movies. Have you ever considered getting together with Lindsey sterling and produce a duet album? I'd love to see what you two artist could do!
This is the best cover I've ever heard of this song the drumming is AMAZING and so is the guitar parts I prefer this to the orginal, I can't stop listening to this
dude you are awesome and I want to thank you. you are the one to help me of what I want to do with music I have been playing Guitar for 7 and a half years and you are the one to where my journey starts and I thank you very much and keep it up
Metroid Prime Meets Metal? Portal 2 Meets Metal? Crash Bandicoot Meets Metal? Super Meat Boy Meets Metal? Borderlands Meets Metal? Golden Sun Meets Metal?
man you just brought me back to my teenage years fast like the dalorian (im sure spelling is wrong) 88 mph like Doc.Brown said to Marty Mcfly killer version keep them coming!!
i got a speeding ticket because of this song
+rrrohan2288 'tween this, and Metallica, I've had several.
+Erin Fogerty gimme fuel gimme fire lol
+Mike Balfort Funny part, that'd be the song. That, and Battery, MoP, and others.
+rrrohan2288 lol
Five Finger Death Punch gets me speedin' tickets. Oh do some FFDP!!!
Clicked on video thinking "Danger zone is already metal right?" Finishes video "It is now"
I believe deep down inside of a lot of music beats a heart of metal, and this guy never ceases to prove me right.
@Taylor The original guitar solo was pretty metal even if the rest of it was .. hard rock? There's a fine line between ore and metal ;P
Try Hollow Drive's cover of this...its WAY heavier
This is my favourite version out there of this song. It makes me feel the original wasnt heavy enough even though it is hard.
Beethoven's 9th Symphony meets Metal!!! You could do such a good job with that!!!
Been done a thousand times already.
Dude I've probably watched this video like 200 times. Personally I feel this is your best work - that fucking solo has amazing phrasing and my face melts every time I hear it.

Josh Fortney me too, I've watched about 50 times. what tuning is he using?
how are you still alive
Whoever didn't sing out loud "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHWAAAAAAAAAAAY TOOOOOO THEEEE DAAAANGER ZOOOOONE!" is either playing the song like 331Erock does here oh so perfectly, or a monster.
And 10 years I'm back watching this clip.. Never get sick of it!
Lana! Lana! Lana! Lana! Lana! "What?!" Danger zone!
Thinking the same thing the whole time
I'm almost positive that's where the inspiration came from to finally do this song meets metal style.
for sure. Archer is a great show
F**K YOU 😂 I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS! HAHAHAH
One thing I enjoy about this young man performing for us on UA-cam, is that he wears a smile. We all need good music from a talented individual that wears a smile, to put a smile on our faces. Rock on young one! Much appreciated hearing/seeing your talent!
This dude smiles like other people breathe !
It's 3am. I was gonna go to bed, then I found THIS.
SLEEP IS FOR THE FUCKING WEAK.
+Skynet1 humans=weak
+christopher brennan Godzilla heard this.
He now has a fleet of Tomcats under his command.
Beware mother-fuckers Beware.
Fuck yeah it is! Rocking hard deep into the night
I never sleep ever
I found this at 2:21am, sleep is for the weak.
Gotta say, no matter how good you are, nothing will be cooler than seeing your love for playing. So many people are great guitarists but almost look like they are trying to be serious or look hard playing! Props to you for showing that awesome smile and your love for your own and others music, it really makes the experience of watching you play that much greater.
When I get my commercial piloting license I will play this in the passenger cabin speakers during my first flight.
I WANT A TICKET.
Ill take a ticket aswell!
Will buy a ticket too but only if you promise flip over above another plane and give the other pilot the finger
"Talk to me Goose!!!" i'm definitely a fan! and suscribed.

TheFly212 YES!!!!!
TheFly212 Are we doing phrasing again?
TheFly212
Christian Kunert Cause if not, okay, but if we're not doing it and nobody told me, THAT I'd have a problem with.
I hope she loves "herself?" //// Anal!
Anyone that dares to tell me the 80's didn’t have the best music will be the next victim on Murder She Wrote
DO YOU WANT ANTS, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU GET ANTS.
Brad Goodwin You never heard of Kenny Loggins?
haha archer reference love that show
+mtdewramen I dont want to hear about Kenny Loggins ... i want to hear about K-log
+Brad Goodwin i love archer man
are you sure other Barry?
@331Erock The look of relief after the solo part around 2:27 is fantastic haha. Great job man. Top Gun is also a childhood favourite of mine.
Son your fingers are cashing checks my pen doesn't have enough ink for
LOL
@Leviathan Instruments Australia he's a genius and my fav
After hearing this... I`M FEELING THE NEED... THE NEEEED FOR SPEEEED!
Wait, did you say dick?
+Tentaye Primo no, I didn`t
Snoop & Underground ?

bullshit, you can be my wing man
Pretty awesome! I personally would have liked to see a breakdown in the middle where you go into a sweet version of the Top Gun theme, but this was still awesome.
P.S. The best line in that movie is, "Slider, you stink."
I've known for years that this song had real metal lurking beneath it's pop-rock outer shell...but you sir, are first I've seen who has successfully peeled away that shell to reveal the iron underneath. Seriously awesome, dude. \m/\m/
Is it weird that I feel like I could die happy after this?
Nope. Not at all.
Maniax467 Perfect answer!
*bows* Thank you!
Nah
A lil. You still have the the need... for speed.
331, ive been a long time fan, and i just now discovered your classic rock playlist, I'm in love
NEW GUITAR!! =)
Love it. You are truly gifted to be able to elevate seemingly any song of any genre to awesomeness. But I wonder, what would another Kenny Loggins hit sound like...a metal version Footloose?
Dude, I'm not even that into metal music and I think that was freakin' brilliant!
Right?!
"Sorry Ghostrider, the pattern is full of metal."

+Alonzo Branson I see what you did there
+Alonzo Branson "Sorry Goose, but it's time to rock the tower"

Luis Cisneros =D lmao
Smoooooth
XD
benanderson89 Hahahah!!
Gad! i dnt really ever give people's comments thumbs up...but this is epic..
I heard a version of this by Jettblack a few months back, and loved the heavy vibe they gave it - I imagined it would be an amazing 'Meets Metal', and here we are! Good work yet again, Eric!
30 years ago (May 19, 1986), Top Gun premiered and gave us this jewel of a song.....................we've been entering the DANGER ZONE ever since.
listen to sinner - danger zone duck Kenny loggins. even thou I like his song lol
The beauty of UA-cam... I just found out about Erock and have been binge watching for over an hour. You are my hero bro!

ArrPeeGeefan Archer is one of the best shows ever.
Lana I will hire Kenney Loggins to come play an acoustic set because you're in the Danger Zone.
What makes your videos so fun to watch is not only that your music sounds great but also simply seeing how much fun you have playing guitar. Keep up your awesome work! ^^
I got goosebumps man, this is the best!!! Srsly your best cover.
Love this! My favorite part about this guys videos is how much he smiles and enjoys what he's doing.
This is an ancient technique, its called power stance...
That's it, power stance... you own the universe
Praise be to the owner of the universe!
***** Oh yeah...? Then smite me oh mighty SMITER!!!!
Ethan White finally someone who has seen school of rock
Probably my favorite movie ever.
After listening to this I feel obligated to watch high performance jets doing crazy stuff.
fox2102 Join the Air Force. It was fun.
I had given it serious thought but at the time I couldn't afford eye surgery and i had a ways to go on my degree. Ended up getting married and my wife said no. So now I'm working on earning enough money to buy my own jet, or helicopter, one day.
No. Only watch F14s.
fox2102 yeah... and once you have enough... BAM - A DIVORCE :D
fox2102 watch some GTA V merge dogfights!!
Lana. Lana.
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANA.
....Danger Zone.
You sir, win the internet
This one deserves a special thank you. You offer songs that we like pretty much for free, so a little gratitude is in order. Extremely well done song!
I think this would be complete ONLY with a sample of Sterling Archer saying "Danger Zone!" LOL! Otherwise, Still pretty epic!
I really like that you have always smile on your face while playing. It shows how you really enjoy the music... and it lies me how easy to play it. :)
I love this tune. One of the many great 80's hard rock hits. You should also do "I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)" which was in the movie Footloose (along with the song "Footloose"). Aside from this, that song would be my favorite of Loggins'.
"I'm Free (Heaven Helps The Man)" is definitely a good one as well!
Can't believe I only just discovered this guy. I think i've been listening for a good couple hours now at least and i'm loving every second!
The enjoyment in his face playing his music is amazing. I love it, and I love listening to it. Rock on brother.
This song already rocked hard. This version just buffed it even harder. Well done.
"Hey Lana......LANA.........LLLLAAAANNNNAAA!"
"WHAT ARCHER?"
"..........danger zone.....hehehe!"
Mason Bennett we are headed towards, a, zone of danger?' haha
Night Wolf they say we are, when 2030 comes
+Night wolf lol
Mason Bennett Call this guy Kenny Loggins, cause you just entered the Danger Zone
Mason Bennett hey you
Dude I just gotta say, I really enjoy your channel. This version fucking rocks!
Would you say we are venturing into a "zone" of danger?
Man... Fuck yeah!! Horns up, big 80's hair up. Everything ya got... UP!! That's epic mate. Love your work. Legend👍
I am now picturing Eric piloting a jet fighter while playing this. Yes, at the same time.

my mind can't handle that much epic
I love that the more video you do, the more tattoos you acquire. Well played
- Lana. Lana. Lana! LAAAAANAAA!!!

Your covers gives me the shivers. So many childhood memories, now made awesome by metal!
I wish you were my guitar teacher :D
You were born with a guitar in your arms. LOL. Love you bro!!!!
Quite possibly the most epic cover ill ever see on this channel...
Ive got chills still...
I didn't know you could sing so well!
Nice work ;)
I was kidding. Anyone who watch him play regularly would know it wasn't him. I've been subscribed to his channel for 2 years now.
I started watching because of gangnam style and got hooked to guile's theme, and then kept coming back for more castlevania goodness and such... He is getting better and better over the years. It's astonishing seeing someone already really good improve so much.
Only on the internet my friends!
***** IKR.

I keep saying we need a sarcasm font for the internet...
ArrPeeGeefan Hold tight, I'm working on it.
ArrPeeGeefan Might I suggest Jokerman LET, just for the name.
I loved seeing you shred on that guitar after so many recent vids on the 7 string. Just awesome hammer-ons!!!
If you could, could you maybe do a metal version of "Zero to Hero" from Disney's Hercules?
I feel like that would be ripe for some fucking radical shredding.
I second this motion!
That's the gospel truth! ;)
that's been my favorite Disney movie/song since it was released
I third this motion
I agree!
I have returned to this video many times and every time I am smiling stupidly afterwards. SO GOOD
... and back again
lana. lana. LANA!!!!! What?!? Danger zone! - archer
