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.
One thing I enjoy about this young man performing for us on TH-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."
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.
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'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/
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 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!
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.
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
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!
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!
Awesome. Unlike most people I watch on TH-cam you always suprize me with each and every video. You skills are always getting better and you always make my day. I am going to share this on facebook. It would be cool if you could put up a tutorial or even just tips and tricks for all to see. I wanna see "we are" by Hollywood undead as your next meets metal. KEEP ROCKING ITS REALLY MAAAAAAAAD
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'.
Jaw dropping stuff! I usually don't go about subscribing and liking videos, but your series just blew my head off! Keep up the awesome work, man! By the way, a metal version of 'Last Christmas' by Wham! would be greatly appreciated! The song is brilliant, but if you add a twist of metal in it, the song would be my anthem! :'D
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.
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
Just saw the movie Top Gun yesterday, it was awesome, and so is this cover, nice job dude, this was nice. I also love the drawing of Tom Cruise in the opening.
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!!
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
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. 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.
Josh Fortney me too, I've watched about 50 times. what tuning is he using?
how are you still alive
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.
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.
And 10 years I'm back watching this clip.. Never get sick of it!
One thing I enjoy about this young man performing for us on TH-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 !
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.
"Talk to me Goose!!!" i'm definitely a fan! and suscribed.
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."
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.
331, ive been a long time fan, and i just now discovered your classic rock playlist, I'm in love
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
@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.
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 ?
me driving my '65 sport fury with a 383 big block with the pedal to the board!
bullshit, you can be my wing man
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?
Lana.... Lana.... Lana...... Lana!!!!!
*What Archer. What*
..... Danger Zone.
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!
The beauty of TH-cam... I just found out about Erock and have been binge watching for over an hour. You are my hero bro!
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
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/
DO YOU WANT ANTS, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU GET ANTS.
Brad Goodwin You never heard of Kenny Loggins?

+mtdewramen I dont want to hear about Kenny Loggins ... i want to hear about K-log
+Brad Goodwin i love archer man

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! ^^
NEW GUITAR!! =)
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!
When I get my commercial piloting license I will play this in the passenger cabin speakers during my first flight.

CycloneMetal

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.
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!
Man I knew i recognized you from somewhere. You used to be in that late 80's cartoon "Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles" right? You were "The Shredder"?

Luis Cisneros =D lmao
Smoooooth

Gad! i dnt really ever give people's comments thumbs up...but this is epic..
Man... Fuck yeah!! Horns up, big 80's hair up. Everything ya got... UP!! That's epic mate. Love your work. Legend👍
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!
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
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.
I never get tired of these video...love the new explorer you got there
I didn't know you could sing so well!
Nice work ;)

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!!!
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!
Hell yes, thatd just be epic!
Well I'll be looking forward to that day. Until then keep up the great work. I look forward to watching your videos.
Aaron Cantu rf
Awesome. Unlike most people I watch on TH-cam you always suprize me with each and every video. You skills are always getting better and you always make my day. I am going to share this on facebook. It would be cool if you could put up a tutorial or even just tips and tricks for all to see. I wanna see "we are" by Hollywood undead as your next meets metal. KEEP ROCKING ITS REALLY MAAAAAAAAD
The enjoyment in his face playing his music is amazing. I love it, and I love listening to it. Rock on brother.
Pricing video games for PAX East at 2am been rocking the hell out to your stuff for like 2 hours. You are killing this dude.
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!
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. :)
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
Jaw dropping stuff! I usually don't go about subscribing and liking videos, but your series just blew my head off! Keep up the awesome work, man! By the way, a metal version of 'Last Christmas' by Wham! would be greatly appreciated! The song is brilliant, but if you add a twist of metal in it, the song would be my anthem! :'D
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!!
Your covers gives me the shivers. So many childhood memories, now made awesome by metal!

Honestly I have no words to describe how awesome this is. Badass job man!
Awesome!

Brilliant cover and brilliant guitar skills
Bleach Meets Metal? (Pt. 1 the openings, pt. 2 The most iconic soundtracks)
Mother of god yes, especially the final getsuga theme
yeeees, and stand up be strong, and fade to black
B...b...but Ichigos theme.
Don't forget the riffs in "Number One", also called Ichigo's Theme.
***** The final Getsuga tenshou's theme is the same as ichigo's but without lyrics and with bass solos.
Quite possibly the most epic cover ill ever see on this channel...
Ive got chills still...
I think this would be complete ONLY with a sample of Sterling Archer saying "Danger Zone!" LOL! Otherwise, Still pretty epic!
Just saw the movie Top Gun yesterday, it was awesome, and so is this cover, nice job dude, this was nice. I also love the drawing of Tom Cruise in the opening.
I am now picturing Eric piloting a jet fighter while playing this. Yes, at the same time.
nah mate, surfin the plane
my mind can't handle that much epic
One of my favorite songs of all time. And this was truly a great freaking cover. I applaude you!
that wink is EVRYTHING ^^

Jaqen H'ghar Are you going to train Araya to become a kick ass assassin? Please?
***** Ssshhh....spoilers....

Amazing! As always, of course! And that is a sick ass guitar!

Woodhouse, again!
Sorry, sir.
Shin Chan Sorry for what? I'm sorry you don't catch the reference, that's your loss.
Jon Ledford...... that's what Woodhouse says to Archer after Archer say's that line.
my bad, too used to encountering random naysayers on TH-cam. my apologies.
It's cool bro.
Love this song. The first time I listened to Leprous it reminded me alot of this song.
Habanera from Carmen. Let's see some classical :)
Holy balls dude. :O I've always loved Danger Zone. This adds a wickedly hot twist. Make those strings wail! /props
You should do Higurashi No Koro Kia theme or Neon Genesis Evangleion Cruel Angel Thesis with Vocals or the themes from one of the Reboots
Higurashi +1
You have sword
I think you mean Higurashi no Naku Koro ni （ひぐらしのなく頃に）
Nope I mean season 2 I just forgot the Ni Kia before it I don't mean the song called Higurashi No Koro Ni I mean the song Naraku No Hana
And maybe screwed up a few words I'm only a human who speaks English I have hard time remembering Japanese names :(
I thought ESP didn't make natural finish explorer bodies any more! I want it...
Damn it erock, you're making me GAS again
Sterling Archer approves.
I had something for this...........
The new season any good?
TP Tyf-E Yes. All my yes. Pam becomes a coke addict, that's all you need to know.
Great brother! it's good to see greatness.
Lana. Lana! LANAAAA!
