Well,sir if you wanna to countinue making a covers of 80's and 90's tv series please do it :D I wish to hear your version of "A-Team", "Knight Rider", "Hercules","Texas Ranger" and even more :D
There's an entire _World_ of music to mine in theme songs, 331Erock! (Personally, I think you should tackle _The Facts of Life_ next, just to see if it can be done... ;-) )
*SCREAMS WITH JOY* OMG...recently rewatched Mac, too, huh? Me and the kiddos are currently cheering cause that theme has always been metal, but you went and made it METAL!! Thank you, thank you!!! *GRINS*
It;s mind-boggling what you can do with a paper clip and a chewed up piece of gum! "MacGyver" was one of my absolute favorite tv shows when I was growing up! Your "Metalized" version of the theme song is AWESOME! Great job! All of your videos are AWESOME!
Dude thank you so much i asked for this ages ago. no matter what song meets metal you do I always love it. seeing guys like you just going what they love to do gives me strength to deal with the crap life throws at me so thanks man and never stop rocking.
I grew up on MacGyver and Top Gun (even though I'm literally only a 12-year-old girl) and this makes me so happy even if I'm not a huge heavy metal fan, I love Classic Rock, nostalgia is hitting hard my man.
I was back in my childhood after a few seconds of play!! THANK YOU Eric! THANKS A TON! You brought back loads of memories in just splash of a single moment!
Ohhh reeeeely nice :) One of my favorite 80's shows I grew up with. So Eric please do next Airwolf meets Metal... One of the best themes ever written for a TV show :)
Jody Oliveira would you say the same if two planes crashed into each other? "I love it when the planes come together" ;P (yes i am aware at the bad pun)
This is really great! My grandmother and i used to watch macgyver all the time. Sadly she past on about a month ago. Ill say that she would have liked this A LOT! Thank you for the memories!
This is beyond awesome! Macgyver is probably the only TV show that helped mold me into the ingenious gadget freak I have become.. And to hear the theme go metal is just epic!! Huge thumbs up!!
i know how you feel i have all 7 seasons and both movies on dvd and this soundtrack i will added to the beginning off the movies that i specialy downloaded for it
My ringtone for my parents (dad's a pretty handy guy) just got upgraded from standard MacGuyver to this. Thanks, Eric! I may not be up on a lot of the newer tunes you cover, but I really enjoy classics like this! Maybe Airwolf, some time? :)
@@eric86041 Sadly, Richard Dean Anderson HATES the new MacGyver! (or so I heard) At least old Murdoc actor Michael Des Barres dropped in occasionally as the villainous mentor of new Murdoc (I just found out). I gotta look up those episodes and watch 'em.
Why oh why haven't I seen this guy before?!? You just make me want to pull out my old dusty drums and rock along with you mate!!! Keep up the good work!!!
I've literally owned and watched every episode of Macgyver. You, sir, are so awesome, that I'll forgive the fact that you didn't play this using rubber bands, paper towel rolls, a shoe box, an oil drum and a car battery XD
L-1011 Widebody Seconded both! I searched the channel, didn't find either and thought: That cannot be! :D Two 80s icons: A-Team and Knight Rider need to be done! ;)
This is awesome. As always you deliver an awesome creation... On another note the guy that mentioned knight rider had a good idea... Nils Courbaron did a version of it. It would be awesome to see you guys do a video together. Much respect!!!
Dennis Wilkinson Ha. That bought back a memory for me. A friend who left the country left me his motorcycle helmet and I went and bought a motorcycle to go with it. Girlfriend said I was insane. She said if I was given a pair of curtains, would I buy I house for us? No, I said. She left me a few months later!
Oh my god. My dad introduced me to MacGyver when I was about 14 years old. Over the past decade we have watched all 7 seasons probably 5 times. This should have been the theme song for the show. So freakin awesome! Love it man!
331Erock I think the thing that makes all of these videos so enjoyable is you! You always have a big smile and are singing along (if there are lyrics); you're so obviously enjoying yourself while creating these that it's contagious! And it's plain to see that you reminisce about the same things we do! TV shows, video game midis, songs that were so popular that they were unavoidable (like Africa), etc. You take these indulgences we have and not only remind us of them, but make them absolutely rock!
As somebody who never watched MacGyver because I'm pretty sure it was over before I was born (and I don't really have much interest in watching it now), this still sounds rad as hell.
You've missed out on an amazing adventure! You learn about everything there is to know, and when to use a pair of binder clips, duct tape and a Swiss army knife!
Watch the earlier seasons. They're better. In those he actually makes some pretty daring escapes. The later seasons are him trying to mend relationships and crap like that.
Funny thing is there's a reboot now. It's actually pretty good now that they've had a while. First 4 episodes were a little rocky on capturing the Mac essence
@@NovaHawk14 Agreed. I couldn't get into it at first, and I admit I abandoned it for a long while. I thought it was odd that the Jack Dalton character had more charisma than MacGyver, plus I couldn't help feeling really pissed off when they made new Thornton a bad guy - WTF?? But when I 'dropped in' on the later episodes, I really got into the characters and their teamwork and everything. I was excited to see a famous actor from Lost showed up as the British boss character (Russ). It was also really exciting and progressive to see a little person playing a character of authority who absolutely NOBODY looks down on, not even the bad guys (Matty)! The cast are quite racially diverse as well, and as an East Asian woman I really enjoyed seeing Desi portrayed as a total badass, instead of being the usual shy nerd or geisha girl stereotype. I feel bad that I just got into the show, and now it's been cancelled... 😿
I love most of his arrangements, but overall his playing is stellar. Great sweeps, alternate picking, legato and best of all it's clean. Very clean. A true talent and a guy that has definitely practiced his ass off at his craft. Love it.
@@Dowlphin ...So God made MacGyver out of some tin foil, copper wire, and a rubber band. Wait - are we talking about MacGyver the show, or MacGyver the man?? 😅
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude Love iiiiiiiiiiiiit! I wish I could have been the one to ask for it but I never even thought of it and I don't know why! Mac has been my JAM since always and you nailed it in the new style!
I only found out recently that the original Murdoc actor is some famous rock star called Michael Des Barres! (Pamela was married to him, and weirdly I was familiar with Pamela but not him.) Apparently he plays the new Murdoc's villain mentor, haha. I need to look up those episodes and watch them now.
The new MacGyver is really bad, I barely made it through the first 2 episodes. I quit after the 2nd. In fact after watching those 2 episodes I rushed onto Netflix to watch the original.
I made one request when I first ran across your vids ( Ninja Gaiden ) now I just sit and watch. from one guitarist to another, good job man..I highly enjoys your adaptations to these tunes..you've also sparked my interest in the drummer software. Rock on Eric shout from MS.
OH MY HECK when I saw this show up in my subs box I seriously almost fell over from excitement. MacGyver is my hero (and the only guy who's ever been able to pull off a mullet)!
I never understood why he was embarrassed by his first name. At least Inspector Morse had reason to be (who on earth names their poor kid 'Endeavour'??).
Great theme Eric! (I thought the distortion was a bit "dirtier" than usual... Did you ever watch Automan? that was another great 80's series with a kickass theme
I knew the MacGyver comments were going to be gold from you guys but again my expectations have been annihilated haha. I'm laughing my ass off!
Well,sir if you wanna to countinue making a covers of 80's and 90's tv series please do it :D I wish to hear your version of "A-Team", "Knight Rider", "Hercules","Texas Ranger" and even more :D
Hey, you heard they're bringing Homestar Runner back.. right? Right? *wink wink, nudge nudge*
Keep up the awesomeness! You ROCK my subscribtions! :D
There's an entire _World_ of music to mine in theme songs, 331Erock!
(Personally, I think you should tackle _The Facts of Life_ next, just to see if it can be done... ;-) )
Just a small suggestion...
You should do a cover of how to train your dragon ! The sequel has the best music.
This is literally my childhood dream coming true! Thanks so much E :D
Such epic feeling :D
ah the memories of watching this series in summer time.
You did justice to it.
*SCREAMS WITH JOY* OMG...recently rewatched Mac, too, huh? Me and the kiddos are currently cheering cause that theme has always been metal, but you went and made it METAL!! Thank you, thank you!!! *GRINS*
Fuck yeah! MacGyver is one of my favorite television shows. I'm glad the theme got turned into some kick ass metal. Great job Erock!
It;s mind-boggling what you can do with a paper clip and a chewed up piece of gum! "MacGyver" was one of my absolute favorite tv shows when I was growing up! Your "Metalized" version of the theme song is AWESOME! Great job! All of your videos are AWESOME!
PLEASE!!!!!! The Greatest American Hero, A-Team, and Knight Rider!!! You did wonders with this song!!! You rock!!!!
great series, great soundtrack and great cover!
as a request would love an airwolf meets metal version
Dude thank you so much i asked for this ages ago. no matter what song meets metal you do I always love it. seeing guys like you just going what they love to do gives me strength to deal with the crap life throws at me so thanks man and never stop rocking.

Very good that Macgyver could meet metal.
I was back in my childhood after a few seconds of play!! THANK YOU Eric! THANKS A TON! You brought back loads of memories in just splash of a single moment!
MACGYVER!!!
MacGyver was always one of my childhood heroes! He is such a badass!
Erock this is like a childhood dream to see this music metalized, MacGyver was the fuckin man! im having flash backs big style now man! legend !!!!
Ohhh reeeeely nice :) One of my favorite 80's shows I grew up with. So Eric please do next Airwolf meets Metal... One of the best themes ever written for a TV show :)
i think the A-team is the best theme ever... but thats just me..... cause "i love it when a plan comes together"
Jody Oliveira
would you say the same if two planes crashed into each other?
"I love it when the planes come together" ;P
(yes i am aware at the bad pun)
So do I.
Dude! Just starting to watch Macgyver again on Netflix, keep rocking on!
This is really great! My grandmother and i used to watch macgyver all the time. Sadly she past on about a month ago. Ill say that she would have liked this A LOT! Thank you for the memories!
Yeah, all of your work is amazing dude, but I am geeking out just that much more over this one - this is abso-F**KING-lutely amazing!
This is beyond awesome! Macgyver is probably the only TV show that helped mold me into the ingenious gadget freak I have become.. And to hear the theme go metal is just epic!!
Huge thumbs up!!
i know how you feel i have all 7 seasons and both movies on dvd and this soundtrack i will added to the beginning off the movies that i specialy downloaded for it
I have all 7 seasons and both movies too.
Ingeious gadget freak? Do tell.
Man... Erock always looks so happy. he must really be passionate about Guitar playing. awesome work, i love the MacGyver series.
Warcraft meets metal would be awesome. Love all those background tracks from Warcraft 2 and such :D
My ringtone for my parents (dad's a pretty handy guy) just got upgraded from standard MacGuyver to this. Thanks, Eric!
I may not be up on a lot of the newer tunes you cover, but I really enjoy classics like this! Maybe Airwolf, some time? :)
Now I have to re-watch MacGyver.
And probably Stargate, too :P
or new macgyver
No. Not the reboot.
La Bartholomeow the reboot isn't BAD I just wish the old RDA would all east make a cameo

You could make a guitar from all those materials and give it to him.
don't forget the duct tape and paper clips.
I'm working on the 2 time watching all of them!
killianseraphim same here
What about the chewing gum and candy wrapper?
Thank You for EPICIFIEING the best tv series of all time! \w/ episodes of it never get old even after 20 years of watching them xD
You just invented a new word.
@@crystalidentity It took you only 8 years, well done 👍
Welp, guess the next place we should go from here is Knight Rider Meets Metal
OH HELL YEA!
Yes!
...hasn't he already done that...?
Has he? I don't see it..
Arthur Borko Then I guess it was wishfull thinking then ^^. But yes - DO IT!
great!!! MacGyver was the show that had the biggest impact on me as a kid. Great cover and fluid picking and tone!!! loved it!!
Got the entire series for my birthday one year on dvd. :)
sweet!
The ENTIRE series?? OMG, how many boxes of DVDs did it take to cover that many episodes...
This video made me watch the first 4 seasons of Macgyver in a marathon. Again.
Along these lines, have you considered doing KNIGHT RIDER? That would be epic.
Or The A-Team, that would be bitching!
Or the Street Hawk..or The Greatest American Hero..XD
L-1011 Widebody Seconded both! I searched the channel, didn't find either and thought: That cannot be! :D
Two 80s icons: A-Team and Knight Rider need to be done! ;)
This is awesome. As always you deliver an awesome creation... On another note the guy that mentioned knight rider had a good idea... Nils Courbaron did a version of it. It would be awesome to see you guys do a video together. Much respect!!!
What guitar did you use for this video?
Ah MacGyver ! Give that man a paperclip and a rubber band and he'll make you an ICBM. Awesome version you have here.
You always have and always will redefine metal music. Keep it up!
Awesome Eric... Airwolf next man
Yes, AIRWOLF! I have actually got the Airwolf patch (somewhere) Needs a flight suit to go with it!
Dennis Wilkinson Ha. That bought back a memory for me. A friend who left the country left me his motorcycle helmet and I went and bought a motorcycle to go with it. Girlfriend said I was insane. She said if I was given a pair of curtains, would I buy I house for us? No, I said. She left me a few months later!
Chivas6
And they say MEN don't understand WOMEN, haha.
Yup, I concur, if they do a movie or a relaunch series... this has GOT to be the theme music.
I wish the new series had used this!!! Their intro song is nebulous nonsense... :(
was expecting a guitar made from elastic bands and bits of bamboo
Dude that was BRILLIANT...
For this song you should have built your own guitar using a hubcap, a broomstick, and some dental floss.
That capo on the first fret looks MacGyvered. Will that suffice?
LOL! That actually made me laugh :D
Oh my god. My dad introduced me to MacGyver when I was about 14 years old. Over the past decade we have watched all 7 seasons probably 5 times. This should have been the theme song for the show. So freakin awesome! Love it man!
Darkwing Duck meets metal.
Such a thing needs to exist.
MacGyver was on of my favorite shows! You did it justice my friend! Awesome piece as always! Ps. INVISIBLE TOUCH MEETS METAL!!
I grew a mullet just now watching this! awesome
LOL!!!

You could get a serious case of 90s poisoning from it. We're talking flannel shirts, flight jackets and Nike air sneakers here.
Schensue I get 80s fever very easily. I don't think I want to have 90s poisoning. D:
Vegard Helleland What about string?
Watch the earlier seasons. They're better. In those he actually makes some pretty daring escapes. The later seasons are him trying to mend relationships and crap like that.
Your smile makes it all the better! Having such a good time sprucing up the songs to the shows I love makes me so happy. Thank you, man.
Que incrível cara !! 😍😍🇧🇷🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️
One of the few things I remember about my dad is watching MacGyver with him every day. Those were the days.
If they ever remake MacGyver.. they seriously need to use this as the theme
If they ever remade MacGyver, it would suck.
I'd probably watch the intro every week though.
Dowlphin that is true.. but would be fun to watch.. especially if they got Richard Dean Anderson back in the lead
MarkOfTzeentch Guy is like a billion years old and swool as --
Taylzz
Your point?
Dowlphin , speaking of things that suck, you might want to look at a mirror, you nag.
I have fond memories of watching MacGyver as a kid.
this video reminds me of my childhood
Excellent~!
331Erock since you are already on the subject what about knight rider meets metal? great tunes man ! keep them coming ! you rock !
FUCK YEAH! now for airwolf :P
Awesome!!! You rock as always!! I wish I had watched macGyver though :(
Please do "The Ecstasy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone next!
YESSSSSS!!!! I LOVE THAT SONG!! watch?v=nOr0na6mKJQ
Extremely talented guitarist!
Amazing music!
Thanks!
I dont know if this has been done but DO AIRWOLF! O_O
Definitely!
Was just about to say this, so instead I'll just bump your post :D
yes airwolf would be good to.
Yeah, could be great !
airwolf ftw
YEEEEEES. Also, please do "Downton Abbey". Unexpected metal!
LMAO - that would be *very* unexpected metal. That would totally make me laugh (esp. as our whole family was addicted and watched that entire series).
MacGyver Meets Metal
You're here as well? Jeeez fuck off already
Richard dean Anderson was a good man
Mr.Pickle255 He does the same on 90% of other videos I watch.
The badassery here is limitless.
Have you heard they're making a new MacGyver movie?
They're making it with a plastic cup, a rubber band and some chewing gum.
Funny thing is there's a reboot now. It's actually pretty good now that they've had a while. First 4 episodes were a little rocky on capturing the Mac essence

That was awesome. MacGyver was one of my favorite shows growing up and continues to be today.
I know you get million requests per video but... Saber Rider, come on man, you know it would be awesome.
It might be a minor problem that it already kinda is metal.
But yeah, Saber Rider meets More Metal! :-D
I love most of his arrangements, but overall his playing is stellar. Great sweeps, alternate picking, legato and best of all it's clean. Very clean. A true talent and a guy that has definitely practiced his ass off at his craft. Love it.
Rambo meets Metal
I officially could not stop smiling the whole video. Well done, sir.
On the 1st day, God created MACGYVER.
Thanks Eric!
...And God didn't have much to work with. Naturally.
And it was Awsome!!
@@Dowlphin ...So God made MacGyver out of some tin foil, copper wire, and a rubber band. Wait - are we talking about MacGyver the show, or MacGyver the man?? 😅
80'S FOREVER & EVER!
SWAT Katz meets METAL
I agree with mirewolf. We need the Swat Kats
Oh, that cartoon suddenly popped into my head.. Yeah, that song ruled!! Do it! :D
Season 2!
definitely
So nostalgic :)
RWBY meets metal! volume 2 is about to start!
Hey, pssst. Hey. Here's a little secret for ya: No ones cares about RWBY anymore.
Gavin, close your mouth
*****
How about you shut your punk-ass mouth?
I gave up after the second episode.
***** There is only one Queen Bitch of the Universe, and you are not her.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude Love iiiiiiiiiiiiit! I wish I could have been the one to ask for it but I never even thought of it and I don't know why! Mac has been my JAM since always and you nailed it in the new style!
Patty and Selma like this.
i loved this show when i was younger this version of the theme just makes me wish they would do a modern show
Next: Quantum Leap!
I have to say...you are simply the most fantastic guitarist I have ever seen. Keep rocking dude!!!!!
Eric made this video with only a rubber band, two paper clips, a handful of corn chips, and a used condom.
And don't forget awesomeness. Can't forget that lol
See? Condoms are useful after all.
Do not forget the swiss Army Knife
@@hungrygrimalkin5610 Since when are *used* condoms useful?? Arrrrgh, gross!!! 🤢
I'LL SAVE THE WORLD WITH A SPOON !!! And a piece of wood...
And a bomb made from some play-doh dunked in a cup of ordinary coffee
LOL Don't forget the Duct Tape & Swiss Army Knife!
I loved this show so much growing up. You've done a great job on this, thanks for sharing.
Even Murdoc approves ! \m/ ;-)
He was so creepy in the original series.
Macgyverrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
I only found out recently that the original Murdoc actor is some famous rock star called Michael Des Barres! (Pamela was married to him, and weirdly I was familiar with Pamela but not him.) Apparently he plays the new Murdoc's villain mentor, haha. I need to look up those episodes and watch them now.
such nostalgia, such awesome, such metal, such amazing video!!! thanks man! :D
*Patty and Selma both like this video [Thumbs Up]
If you're going to do 80's themes, you gotta do A-Team and Knight Rider. :)
They should pay you to use this intro on their new reboot show.
dear god the new show is bad
I couldn't even sit through the entire first episode. Thankfully the Lethal Weapon series actually seems off to a good start though.
The new MacGyver is really bad, I barely made it through the first 2 episodes. I quit after the 2nd. In fact after watching those 2 episodes I rushed onto Netflix to watch the original.
Love it!! Amazing talent!
mission impossible meets metal pls:))
YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEES!!!
Yes !!!
Also yes!!!!
Doing MI just begs for "James Bond Meets Metal" to be done, also.
Then, throw in The A Team, for a trifecta of awesome metalized themes!
I made one request when I first ran across your vids ( Ninja Gaiden ) now I just sit and watch. from one guitarist to another, good job man..I highly enjoys your adaptations to these tunes..you've also sparked my interest in the drummer software. Rock on Eric shout from MS.
DUCKTALES MEETS METAL!
OH MY HECK when I saw this show up in my subs box I seriously almost fell over from excitement. MacGyver is my hero (and the only guy who's ever been able to pull off a mullet)!
dude, this is very good....
did you tuned your guitar by paperclip?
After 10 sec of listening, i start remember those years when i watched Mac Guyver and a big smile come on my face, thanks Eric!
Quantum Leap Meets Metal!
I want to use this as my ringtone
Fun fact. My brother is named after MacGyver. His name is Angus :D
“Angus, what a beautiful name”
- Princess what’s her face from one of his crazy dreams lol
I never understood why he was embarrassed by his first name. At least Inspector Morse had reason to be (who on earth names their poor kid 'Endeavour'??).
A true classic, I too watched it when I was a kid. Thank you for bringing back the memories. And as always, rock on! \m/
Airwolf? :D
Great theme Eric! (I thought the distortion was a bit "dirtier" than usual... Did you ever watch Automan? that was another great 80's series with a kickass theme
Could you do a Monkey Island theme? Ps you are soooooo talented!!!
He's already done Monkey Island (and it IS awesome, so check it out!)
Thanks CaliKit I will check it out!
th-cam.com/video/lEHIwxGA17Y/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for that. Love the theme and the series!!!!! Keep rockin'!!!
