Have you ever experienced anything so genuinely epic that it gave you physical pain from straining your neck so hard with sheer excitement? I just have. I am a hardcore ThunderCats fan and I N.E.V.E.R (necessary emphasis) thought anything could ever compare to the original theme song in any way at all, let alone top it. Sir, your guitar has just shit all over the original from a great height, proceeded to set it on fire, and then laughed maniacally into its burning face. I salute you both.
I was thinking to myself... why do I love metal so much ? Watching this video made me realize that my childhood was full of cartoons with metal themed intros, and this guy makes it even cooler
...And you ended it with the closing credits extension! Words fail to describe this awesomeness! This is what I hope music for a live action movie trailer sounds like if it ever happens.
aleluia for that bro born in 83 here the bist time for cartoons for shor,you want more,Visionaries,MASK,C.O.P.S,The Centurions,SilverHawks,Galaxy Rangers,Saber Rider rock on baby
dude thats the first thing i noticed him his smile that he enjoys playing every song he does either by himself or with a singer doing a duo thats awesome it shows he loves what he does and thats how everyone should be doing something they enjoy!!!! keep it up bro u setting the example like a pro
It's been 3 years Eric. 3 years and this motherfucking song still to this day gives me goosebumps and big ass smile just like it did when you hinted at in your Patreon hangout we had.
Disney Afternoon meets Metal. Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, and Tail Spin's themes all in an awesome metal medley... of... metaltastic proportions. Only Erock can make it happen.
Dude...Thundercats AND Twilight of the Thunder God? That's two of my favorite things in one! You, sir, are amazing, and you continue to surprise and impress me. I would like to buy you a beer.
Just...wow lol. 11 out of 10 stars man. This is the first video of yours I'd ever watched and hands down the best version of the Thundercat theme I've ever heard. You killed it man, was a pleasure to get to hear it.
HOLY BALLS I JUST WATCHED IT TO THE END.. THE END IS BEYOND LEGENDARY BRO.. HOLY FUCK In my opinion you brought this theme to another level.. Seriously.. you hyped me up so much that in the end of this vid i was researching all episodes of the Thundercats Series to watch again... No shit Bro you made me a happy man XD (no homo) Sounds really awesome.. you brought back a piece of my Childhood. THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH
Every day after school, and every Saturday morning, I was glued to the tube for my fix of Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro, and the gang -some of my most cherished memories involve Cheerios and Japanese cartoons, LOL. It's not true when they say you can never go back again -that it will never hold that same magic as when you were a kid. You just need the right mad scientist to inject a whole new level of badassery into it, hoist it to the roof, and channel a few lightning bolts through it. Erock IS that mad scientist. Bravo, sir. BRAVO!
My 5 year old has grown up listening to you with me. After we listened to your thundercats cover I put the intro the the show on for her, but before it was done she asked if we could go back to your cover for her to dance to. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your music. You truly ROCK!!!
Holy Space Cat Balls!!!!!!! I cranked the volume up and about had a ear-gasm from all the awesomeness that was pouring out of my speakers... The quality of your sound just keeps getting better.. I may have to play this on repeat for the next 10 years of my life because it's that flipping fantastic..
my ears begin to tingling after the video stopped.....i think i just had an eargasm O_O to make this even more awesome, this wonderful piece was uploaded on my birthday.
all excited listening to this, just working on cosplay for a anime convention this weekend......... THEN TWILIGHT OF THE THUNDER GOD. OH, OKAY. IM OKAY WITH THAT
I played this video at least 7 times in a row before being ABLE to type out this comment. Perfection, is what this is. My all-time favorite cartoon theme song played in true, classic, shred style, heavy metal. Beyond epic! Thank you very much for sharing! My life is complete.
***** Thank you; it is so good to read something your brain is trying but failing to get your hands to type! You did it for me :-D I have to say that even though I am also a huge ThunderCats fan, I actually prefer this cover of the theme to the original. I never thought anything would ever even compare to it but this tops it for me!
Thank you for taking one of the most cherished moments of my life, my life and my love for this old cartoon, and bring it back to me with all the memories with it, and taking what is arguable an amazing TV cartoon theme, and making it better. So i bow to you as one of the gods of metal *bow RAWR
tehy did attempt a revival in like 2012 or 2013 on Cartoon network. it was pretty great too. though like almost every good show on there, it was canceled after 1 or 2 seasons.
Still convinced Eric did this for me. I asked for this via email in 2009 and a week later, there it was. Call it ignorance or stupidity, but I'm taking it. It felt personal. Keep them coming Erock !! You're the best. Love you man 🤘
How, OH How?? How did I miss this???? One of the few cartoons my brother and I could agree on as kids! We loved it enough that we even got the board game based on the show... Thanks 331Erock you totally made my day!!
I gotta say, Thundercats is my hallowed ground childhood cartoon all time favorite. This composition is beyond a normal metal makeover, it has realized the full potential of this theme. If they ever make a Thundercats movie, which there has been scuttlebutt about, the producer would be a freaking moron NOT to use this theme in it's entirety. I played this in my tech shop I own, it stopped all of us geeks almost immediately, like it was a song of a siren, and customers too. It truly is a work of art. Thank you for doing this.
If there is a ThunderCats movie..this needs to be the intro song for the flick. *Black Screen, E-rock's guitar theme cues up...BOOOM**** THUNDERCATS LOGO!!!!
thundercats was one of my all time fave cartoons of the 80s and you did this theme music justice it totally rocks as a metal version , the80s had some fantastic theme music like in galaxy rangers
Theodens son? Theodens son died in battle.... Theoden just had a niece... This was Odins son... Not the arrogant guy from marvel.... The original one from norse mythology Ok 😂😂😝
very cool, it bought back child hood memorys, also thought I heard a little slayer influence around 3:20 - 3:30 minute mark... very nice and excellently composed..
it was a pleasure to hear you play this with your own twist. i could only imagine having this kind of skill, but for you to share it with us all is so cool. may the rock gods bring you more shredding skills for us to enjoy! thank you for making my day and bringing my childhood back to me.
samuel lopes Jem and the Holograms, the movie launched last year, or maybe this year, I don't remember. Search for Nostalgia Critic's review of that shit.
samuel lopes Jem and the Holograms was a 80's cartoon, the movie launched recently had only one resemblance with the cartoon, the name. And the whole fiasco was that for promoting the movie they asked the fans to record a message saying how they loved Jem, but, they made it look like the are praising the movie while some recordings had the original cartoons airing in a tv behind the people and all of those people we're trying to cosplay the original one, hell, one of the cosplayed, I think, Jem head to bottom.
Where the hell have you been all my life????? This is SO freaking awesome! I seriously never thought something could be better than the original intro until now.
I hope atleast The Witcher or Mass Effect would be metalized. It means the world to me. Other suggestions as well : Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Devil May Cry And of course the Guile's Theme remake since the old one is low quality.
There is a metal version of ME3's "Leaving Earth" out there. I agree though. Erock doing something from Mass Effect meets Metal would be pretty awesome.
Love it! Your songs with mashups are the best IMO, this with Amon Amarth and Phantom of the Opera with Iron Maiden were fantastic. Keep it up man, you rock!
You can tell by his face... this dude can barely contain how happy he is to be playing this! :D
Hes like this on every video lol
+Jan van Oene He loves what he's doing and that is the most METAL thing he and anyone can do for themselves.Good for him and us.
The face of a man who saw his true potential and was able to reach it, and at a young age. A marvel to behold.
Or its just the face of a guy who loves the vibration of an electric guitar against his tiny nuts
Joe VilliaN, he took on the ThunderCats theme and slayed the fuck out of it; he has balls the size of church bells.
Have you ever experienced anything so genuinely epic that it gave you physical pain from straining your neck so hard with sheer excitement?
I just have.
I am a hardcore ThunderCats fan and I N.E.V.E.R (necessary emphasis) thought anything could ever compare to the original theme song in any way at all, let alone top it.
Sir, your guitar has just shit all over the original from a great height, proceeded to set it on fire, and then laughed maniacally into its burning face.
I salute you both.
+NotMostGirls This description is metal.
NerosShadow I take that as a real compliment :-)
I was thinking to myself... why do I love metal so much ?
Watching this video made me realize that my childhood was full of cartoons with metal themed intros, and this guy makes it even cooler
This got me right in the childhood
it was full of saxaphone solos for the 80s but yeah its pretty metal late 80s to 90s
Tears rolling down my eyes.. I really loved that series and this awesome metal cover. My childhood :/ I want all those shows back :(
HBO Max steraming has 62 episodes as far as i can tell I"m actually watching it hehe
@@manobrown81 torrent it or buy the dvd/blu-rays?
Gods of Metal, grant me music beyond music!
+Jovan Mitrić Epic. Thanks.
+Jovan Mitrić Correction. "Guitar of Omens, give me sound beyond sound!"
Epic playing. Epic comment
@OriginalTharios Well played. And now I want to see what the Axe of Omens would have looked like.
Best comment!
...And you ended it with the closing credits extension! Words fail to describe this awesomeness! This is what I hope music for a live action movie trailer sounds like if it ever happens.
I see before my eyes all the thundercats lined up on a high mountain cliff doing windmills to this.
And epic bonus for Amon Amarth!!!!
Back when children's telly was actually entertaining, god I'm glad I was born in the era of transformers, thundercats, TMNT, biker mice from mars etc
saber rider, captain future.....

@@xal3xxx and the metal cover art was the same style as these cartoons! 🤘
Easily one of the top 10 cartoon/anime intros (both music and animation wise). Great job dude!
dude thats the first thing i noticed him his smile that he enjoys playing every song he does either by himself or with a singer doing a duo thats awesome it shows he loves what he does and thats how everyone should be doing something they enjoy!!!! keep it up bro u setting the example like a pro
It's been 3 years Eric. 3 years and this motherfucking song still to this day gives me goosebumps and big ass smile just like it did when you hinted at in your Patreon hangout we had.
Here's an invitation to come hear this masterpiece again. ;)
METAL, METAL, METAL, METALCATS OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH
Here,have an internet.
Disney Afternoon meets Metal.
Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, and Tail Spin's themes all in an awesome metal medley... of... metaltastic proportions.

Man, i have heard a lot of your versions. But this... this... You´re the fucking reborn Lion-O! So many thanks for your work.
HOLY BALLS I JUST WATCHED IT TO THE END..
THE END IS BEYOND LEGENDARY BRO.. HOLY FUCK
In my opinion you brought this theme to another level.. Seriously.. you hyped me up so much that in the end of this vid i was researching all episodes of the Thundercats Series to watch again...

"Twilight of the ThunderCat." Haha great job.
Perfect song for a Khajiit dovahkiin.
your guitar tone is so fucking crunchy. i can't get enough of it. and its awesome how you're always smiling. great videos man
Thundercats and Amon Amarth! Holy shit that was awesome!!!!
Holy Space Cat Balls!!!!!!! I cranked the volume up and about had a ear-gasm from all the awesomeness that was pouring out of my speakers... The quality of your sound just keeps getting better.. I may have to play this on repeat for the next 10 years of my life because it's that flipping fantastic..
my ears begin to tingling after the video stopped.....i think i just had an eargasm O_O to make this even more awesome, this wonderful piece was uploaded on my birthday.
+andre banks
happy belated birthday!
may jaga watch over you
oh shit i think i was one of those people that asked you to make this!! thanks man for posting this you rock dude!!
Now I imagine Lion-O playing guitar and headbanging with his long red hair.
that is some awesome imagery...
Normally I'm not a big fan of remixes or revamped, for lack of a better word atm, songs; but the stuff you do, wow. I love it.
I have a few in mind. Predator, The Blob (1988), and Tales from the Crypt theme. Awesome work like always man.
Tales from the crypt would be awesome
Followed since the very beginning. And this is without a doubt the best mash up you've ever done.
Twilight of the Thunder God!
all excited listening to this, just working on cosplay for a anime convention this weekend.........
THEN TWILIGHT OF THE THUNDER GOD.
OH,
OKAY.
IM OKAY WITH THAT
Awesome! Thunderbirds meets metal next!
I played this video at least 7 times in a row before being ABLE to type out this comment. Perfection, is what this is. My all-time favorite cartoon theme song played in true, classic, shred style, heavy metal. Beyond epic! Thank you very much for sharing!
My life is complete.
+Adrian Olivas You have worded what I feel so well it's like you stole the emotion from my brain and conveyed it to the screen!
+NotMostGirls WOW! Thanks! So glad I was able to communicate that as well as I did! Awesome!
***** Thank you; it is so good to read something your brain is trying but failing to get your hands to type! You did it for me :-D
I have to say that even though I am also a huge ThunderCats fan, I actually prefer this cover of the theme to the original. I never thought anything would ever even compare to it but this tops it for me!
Lion-O would be proud! :D
Dude! You don't know how excited I got when I saw this!!! Thanks for getting to ThunderCats! And, of course, it is EPIC!
You should definitely go to America's Got Talent and win it all. I would pay to go see you in your own show in Vegas.
Thank you for taking one of the most cherished moments of my life, my life and my love for this old cartoon, and bring it back to me with all the memories with it, and taking what is arguable an amazing TV cartoon theme, and making it better. So i bow to you as one of the gods of metal *bow
RAWR
Can we get a Silverhawks cover?
That would be amazing
SilverHawks theme please!
Talliho!
You said it👍
@@Imbued84 that's Tallyhawk.
My 18 month old girl rocks out to this!!
If Thundercats were to ever be reborn, they should have you do the entire soundtrack for the show!!!
tehy did attempt a revival in like 2012 or 2013 on Cartoon network. it was pretty great too. though like almost every good show on there, it was canceled after 1 or 2 seasons.
megamanpwn3dmario It was cancelled because the CEO of CN didn't like how sexually stimulating Cheetara was.
That sucks, I've seen the revival of that Thundercats, made me feel like it was Saturday morning all over again...SMH
alexd1130 Yet he allows a "children's show" that's full adult innuendo on air...sound principles that guy has.
*****
Rumors are floating around that Adult Swim may get the show and be able to continue it.
Still convinced Eric did this for me. I asked for this via email in 2009 and a week later, there it was. Call it ignorance or stupidity, but I'm taking it. It felt personal. Keep them coming Erock !! You're the best. Love you man 🤘
-Gets update sent to phone that this vid was just uploaded
-Quickly clicks link and listens to song
-Proceeds to change pants
I love that you can't stop smiling during this! To be honest, neither could I!
dude you are fucking awesome. well deserving of your 1 million subs. hell, you should have 10m+
Logan Landis Heck, every metalhead should sub to 331Erock
How, OH How?? How did I miss this???? One of the few cartoons my brother and I could agree on as kids! We loved it enough that we even got the board game based on the show... Thanks 331Erock you totally made my day!!
My cat approves this song!

If there is a ThunderCats movie..this needs to be the intro song for the flick. *Black Screen, E-rock's guitar theme cues up...BOOOM**** THUNDERCATS LOGO!!!!
I love the enthusiasm/ joy I see and hear as he plays! My childhood approves and says thanks!
If you're gonna do ThunderCats, then PLEASE DO SWAT KATS!!! That would be awesome!!!
YES. SWATKATS.
and Samurai Pizza Cats!
and keyboard cat!
SAME Here Swat Kats Too Please !!
THIS! SO MUCH THIS!
thundercats was one of my all time fave cartoons of the 80s and you did this theme music justice it totally rocks as a metal version , the80s had some fantastic theme music like in galaxy rangers
For the love of god Hollywood. Make a Thundercats film and have this as the opening credits!!
Andrew Cunliffe There've been worse reasons to make a film..
*****
I'd raise you theme park rides, But that one worked.
Mixed games Gaming Yes my thought exactly.. this music woUlf be epic for movie intro
YES!
Ive been saying that 4 yrs
I think I've listened to your cover about 6 times a day this week. Catchy song and definitely the best cover by far. Well done. Pure Awesomeness.
Since you did Thundercats, how about SilverHawks?
I know I'm late to the party, but this is one of the most amazing things on the internet!
Eric never ceases to amaze
2:39
Thor! Theodin's son! Defender of mankind! Ride to meet your fate! Ragnorack awaits!
Yeah I heard twilight of the thunder god 😂😂
Theodens son?
Theodens son died in battle.... Theoden just had a niece...
This was Odins son... Not the arrogant guy from marvel.... The original one from norse mythology
Ok 😂😂😝
Theodin is Lord of the Rings.
"Protector of mankind"
Ragnarok
You smiling throughout made me chuckle! A beast of a rewrite mate, well done!
I died when Amon Amarth hit.
AJ Miller Twilight of the Thunder cat :P
+sugoruyo *growl* MEEEEEEEOOOOOOOW
this guy kicks major ass!!! you fckn rock bro!!!! I got goosebumps running up & down my neck listening to you play Thundercats theme!!! AMAZING!

My smile went ear to ear when I heard that :D
Eargasm, twice ;)

DiakosDelvin xd lml
So awesome that this was the song you posted on my birthday. Kick ass song Eric.
I loved Thunder Cats when I was a kid!
Super thumbs up me 2!! I still do!!
me 2
Same here!
Thanks for doing an amazing cover. Thundercats and TMNT were my childhood, so there's no way I could not enjoy something this face melting :).
Одна улыбка чего стоит :D
Вообще не понимаю, как можно -шпарить митол- играть такие молниеносные пассажи и при этом еще улыбаться
Been listening to many metal versions of this tracks, yours is the best by far. Gives me the chills every time. Keep up the good work.
Thundercats IS Metal.. Great performance bro!!
I love you man! Thank you for being there and share your happines and talent with us!!!
Cheetara just creamed herself!
Blucifer I wish
Thank you so much EROCK for playing our request!!! If they do a live action movie THIS SHOULD be the OST! More power to you!!!
Kick azz job as always man! \m/
A good meshing there 331Erock. Amon Amarth is now getting some mad love, using the song Twilight of the Thundergod with this was a good idea.
Silverhawks next :D?
very cool, it bought back child hood memorys, also thought I heard a little slayer influence around 3:20 - 3:30 minute mark... very nice and excellently composed..
Aaaaaaaaand straight into Amon Amarth! F*CK YES!!
it was a pleasure to hear you play this with your own twist. i could only imagine having this kind of skill, but for you to share it with us all is so cool. may the rock gods bring you more shredding skills for us to enjoy! thank you for making my day and bringing my childhood back to me.
cant wait for lighting dogs.
I see what you did there...
Starfox corneria theme would match too. Nice work. The surprise with AA is awesome.
oh my god.. cutting into twilight of the thunder god..
holy shit.
Best part of these videos is seeing you actually enjoy doing them.
dam that takes me back. a thundercats movie is long overdue. silver hawks too
It would be awesome, but I don't think we want another movie based on a cartoon from the 80's after the Jem fiasco.
Jem fiasco ???
samuel lopes
Jem and the Holograms, the movie launched last year, or maybe this year, I don't remember.
Search for Nostalgia Critic's review of that shit.
I never even heard of it. was it some kind of made for TV movie ? Thunder cats and Silverhawks had pretty good story behind them....
samuel lopes
Jem and the Holograms was a 80's cartoon, the movie launched recently had only one resemblance with the cartoon, the name.
And the whole fiasco was that for promoting the movie they asked the fans to record a message saying how they loved Jem, but, they made it look like the are praising the movie while some recordings had the original cartoons airing in a tv behind the people and all of those people we're trying to cosplay the original one, hell, one of the cosplayed, I think, Jem head to bottom.
0:34 Look at that smile brimming as the riff builds
VOCÊ É O CARA !!! Greetings from Brazil !
Fabricio Silva pelo visto não sou a única brasileira por aqui :v
Nâo, não é. Eu sou de BSB.
Fabricio Silva então por que você colocou "Greetings from *Brazil*"
Uai, eu sou brasileiro, mas ele não é gringo ?
deixa pra lá
its hard to think of how to make ThunderCats more badass. Yet 331Erock has yet again made something already badass more badass.
Thunder...Thunder...ThunDer CATS
*glances over to ex gf*
HOoooooooooooOoooooO
The best comment
I just did this to my gf.....I had to call upon the spirit of Thundera to protect me....
😂😂😂
loooool
Where the hell have you been all my life?????
This is SO freaking awesome! I seriously never thought something could be better than the original intro until now.
I hope atleast The Witcher or Mass Effect would be metalized. It means the world to me. Other suggestions as well :
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Devil May Cry
And of course the Guile's Theme remake since the old one is low quality.
There is a metal version of ME3's "Leaving Earth" out there. I agree though. Erock doing something from Mass Effect meets Metal would be pretty awesome.
avok23 ME had great music, man.
no way.
avok23 Suicide Mission, Illusive Man, Galaxy map theme or whatever it is.
Boil your rye balls
Love it! Your songs with mashups are the best IMO, this with Amon Amarth and Phantom of the Opera with Iron Maiden were fantastic. Keep it up man, you rock!
Do the Swat Katz theme. Either or both.
Unbelievable remix... Sent chills down my spine, you fucking awesome guitar player you.
Okay I got one for you.
How about RWBY The full version of "Red Like Roses".
I wanna see this
God just thinking of that gives me chills. I love that song.
You sir deserve a plate of cookies!
Hey now.....leave RWBY music alone.....it cannot get anymore awesome than that.
*****
Can't hurt to give it ago....Red Like Roses (the first one) was alittle to.....Poppy for me i wanna hear a metal cover.
my top fave erock song *...*
great as always.... please do hokuto no ken ( Fist of The North Star main theme) - "You wa shock!" pleaseeeeeeeeeee ....... ImI
Stunning and wild your performance.Congratulation,man
TWILIGHT OF THE THUNDERCAT!
this is my new favorite thing ever. You're amazing. And all my favorite shows! :)
Any chance you could do the theme from Airwolf?
Absolutely loved it mate! Nostalgia kicking in.
