Hey guys!
Well haha. This was not easy. Not. One. Bit. Which I never expect anything to be but this was just, wow, beyond. Beethoven has always been my favorite composer to study and arranging this pretty much confirmed that. So many metal tones! If anyone was wondering, yes I absolutely got some inspiration form Dr. Viossy to tackle this. He gave a fantastic rendition and mapped it out for a guitarist. My tapping shapes are a little different than his and so is my arrangement but he initiated the tapping idea to me with some shapes that Beethoven did not mean for guitar. Thank you all so much everything. It means the world. BIG UPS for always rockin my casbah!
Best to ya

Amazing rendition bro!!! Horns up!!! \m/ :D \m/
Dr.Viossy the master has approved
The Legend Himself!!
And Tina S version ??
@@0ParisFrance she did great too
You are both amazing! Just FYI, this is my fourth or fifth time here, but I've listened your wonderful rendition more than 30 times. Listening to Beethoven genius on my favourite instrument through virtuosity of you, Eric and Tina has been a real privilege. So much tears not wasted... 🤘🤟
You can tell it's a very difficult one because :
1st he sit
2nd he's rarely smiling at the camera and stay focus on the guitar, Astonishing work my friend.
+lord batair (Lord Batair's Let's Play)
3rd He literally lets out a breath of relief after finishing. He was probably holding his breath off and on during that AMAZING performance.
i felt releaved too XD
+lord batair (Lord Batair's Let's Play) You can tell it's difficult because it's usually played with 10 fingers :P
***** True, true.
Obviously it's great work, a piece from Beethoven doesn't take neutral skill to perform
This is why many metalheads also like classical music.
yra
Yeah its true
You mean this is why so many classical fans are also hardcore metalheads!
Beethoven practically invented metal :P
i like it . .
The fact that Beethoven basically *is* metal aside, there are many similarities in complexity and melody between so called classics and some metal genres.
More proof that Beethoven was just composing metal ahead of his time.
Vivaldi as well - check out Four Seasons, Summer is amazing.
Reminds me of Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure!
Lol
I doubt that there was any heavy metal back in Beethoven's time since the electric guitar didn't exist yet. The only metal that was heavy then was the tuba, LOL!
But... what if Beethoven was a time traveler? What if he didn't exist in the first place? Who wrote his pieces? Who played them? Was it some cool dude with sonic sunglasses and a guitar?
Beethoven is the one guy of all the classic composers who I think would hear (ha) this and think, fuck yeah! He was the original metal.
I doubt many people will agree with me. I'm a life-long pianist and studied the classics. "Moonlight Sonata" will always be beautiful in my ears. Few people know LVB was a 32nd or 33rd degree Mason and a worshiper of non-biblical gods. Christianity has sanctified lyrics for "Ode to Joy," from the 9th Symphony, they call "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee." Actually it is written to a pagan goddess. In my teen years I learned to "get into," get inside a piece of music, whether I was playing or listening. Van Cliburn came to town and played "Moonlight Sonata" when I was 17 and I found myself in something of a trance. From that day, I've understood the power of music. LVB's music will live on as some of the greatest ever; but it does indeed have a dark side to those who have ears to hear. No telling what he'd have done with today's technology.
What gods did he worship?
@Israelite Ram Sounds like he was a classical hermetecist. Judging by your tag you are also familiar with the traditions of old and how they revolve around astrology and ancient deities. Were you born under the sign of Aries?
I was born under a R/R sign next to a giant billboard with a lawyer holding a phone up to his face with "?ACCIDENTES?" captioned on it. does this I'm born under two different signs!!?!?!?!
actually Stravinsky is the original metalhead lol
Oh my fucking god my face just melted off. This is brilliant.
+Jinkun2702 you sure it isn't just your tattoo? you're right, though, it's brilliant.
+Jinkun2702 I can see, gosh I'm sorry :(
hell yeah I do agree 👍
+cougarrain dayyym your a cougar
+alone will 😂😂 no lol just only a name
He had to sit down to play this one haha. Awesome job man!
+Kfir Ochaion he is playing a classic music so he has to do it with it's style
+Kfir Ochaion Every classic piece is played like this on guitar.
+GuitarInferno This position is so much better than having the guitar on your right leg (left is you're a lefty). This isn't only for classical music. He is probably using this because it is damn near impossible to play something like this on your right leg. Learn you're facts before you say stuff.
+Kfir Ochaion Lol :D
+Guy Ramsey He wasn't talking about left or right leg, he was talking about sitting down. Make sure you're literate before you say stuff.
you know shit gets serious when eric sits down
you know its hard to play when 331erock has to sit down and concentrate
3 Years Later to write this reply: But still smiling! :D
or lord vihntero has to look at the piano
Instant favourite. My daughter applauded. She's 1. I must have done something right. :)
+Julia Linne You must have done something right indeed
+Julia Linne Keep doing it then.
You have something special sir
yeah man my 2 year old was rocking out as well
+Julia Linne my daugther loves watching him play the guitar
Alright it has got to be said. I have followed you for over five years on here, watched you conquer some amazing pieces of music, do things with the instrument most never touch much less master. Ive been playing for 20 years, and I cant even compare to half of what you can do. But Eric... you just blew my mind for the first time, truly blew my mind, and I can tell by posture, body language, and expression that this was hard for even you. It pushed your technical limitations. This is one of the most musically complex pieces that exist, considered difficult even for its intended instrument. But you nailed it, hard. How are you not making millions with your craft? Youve got more talent than many of these composers did. Raw talent.
He's a great guitarist to be sure, but you really can't compare anyone's talent to Ludwig Van Beethoven. The man's mastery of music allowed him to continue composing despite being deaf.
Sure, he's really good. But have you heard the little "Tina S" version of this piece ? (here on TH-cam)
@@pitfrr It's also good.
I agree!!! Wonderful job!!!
There is a huge difference between composing a hit song and be a master at guitar.
Being good at driving a car isn't the same as building a car.
To compose a hit you must master both as with building a good car.
Beethoven is headbanging \m/
I really believe that he is the first metal head ever!
Don't forget Bach who predated Beethoven by roughly a century. I would be exceedingly happy if Señor Rock would tackle the toccata from The Dorian; BWV 538.
+MrS1lent0ne second that request..
he would deffinatly of been the lead guitarist or piano player of a metal band if he had lived today can almost see him running around a stage jumping about the place and headbanging lol maybe throwing a few pics into the crowd and presumably then going backstage to snort a few lines haha
Dany Sormunen 🤟🏼🤘🏼
I love the way he smiles. He knows that's his playing something so good!
He smiles in every video. Tis his trademark.
Me too! I think he smiles because he loves what he is doing :)
what was the name of the guy in Iron Maiden? The smily guitarist :D
Dave Murray - My father and I just call him "The friendly"
yobrowassupp
I want more like this! More classical pieces!
Sounds like it'd make a good final boss track.
funny you should say that lol
Sawlan Wilson If you want to check it out, MyNewSoundtrack used the Dragon Quest sounds to turn this into a boss battle song.
Here: th-cam.com/video/fhGul9A4-w8/w-d-xo.html
Bloodborne - Ludwig's
Cause it will
when Erock sits to play, then you know THE THING IS FUCKING SERIOUS!
You rarely ever see anyone with such accuracy and ability and competence and confidence come together in one place to play like this man.
Well done.
Fantastic! You should do Devil went down to Georgia meets metal
i third
+BeautifulNightmare I concur
+Coty Lee great idea!
Would be something like what Steve Ouimette wrote for Guitar Hero III (the boss battle against Lou)
+Rafael Calderon Only...you know...*better*.
Beethoven would headbang to this.
but he was deaf...
He wasn't born deaf he started going deaf in his late twenties and (if i remember correctly) wasn't ever completely deaf although it was functionally the same thing with time. He went deaf slowly over years.
He was 100% deaf after some point.
Milo Yiannopoulos no by the time he died he had roughly 20% hearing, he wasn't that old when he died
chris sturm Many sources state that he went completely deaf about 10 years before he died.
The melody fits so god for a metal song
Valen Arenas
Metal is probably the closest major modern genre to classical music.
Stephen, Metel is closest to the Classical genre creativity-wise
@ Eren Jager: Fully agree with you.
especially with Beethoven's work
Toccata in fugue meets metal please
+biohazard724 This guy deserves an award.
+biohazard724 If he can pull that off, he would truly become a metal god among men.
+biohazard724 Look up Phantoms by the Trans-Sylvanian Orchestra. It's an orchestra, but still amazing.
+oshizzlegizngahr I've seen it
+biohazard724 In the hall of the Mountain King meets metal please
The skill involved is astonishing.
Dr. Viossy's version may be faster, but this is more dynamic and musical in my opinion. Great interpretation!
really?? his is literally all the original notes this just has dual harmonies for the "dynamic" effect
+steve cabrera so...your point is?
+Dingus pretty much better more accurate in every aspect.
+steve cabrera I'm just not a fan of how Dr. Viossy plays the staccato notes and does the tremolo flutters. There's already a lot going on in the original song and I think adding all the extra flourishes detracts from the dynamic structure and texture of the composition. That's just my personal taste.
indeed its not always about speed but the presentation itself that makes the song shine.
I think that's the best metal cover of this movement I've ever heard. Cheers mate !
Try the band Exmortus. They play this movement expertly. Saw them live. Outstanding.
I wonder what Beethoven would say to this if he was alive. Oh right. He'd still be deaf ._.
+William Sonnecti Rumor has it he listened through vibrations. So we just sit him in front of a wall of amps haha
dave fisher
Dude we all listen through vibrations. That's how sound works.
You know what I mean. We hear through vibrations passing through the air and into our ears, him being deaf he "listened" to them by feeling the vibrations versus listening to them.
+William Sonnecti Old Ludwig would crank it up to '11' and would *feel* it. :)
Just hearing this hurts my ears but it's not bad.
Beethoven didn't have a guitar, so he wrote metal on the piano so others could be metal when the electric guitar was invented
This is one of the best things I have ever heard. Classic and Metal fit together so incredibly well.
EROCK, the best metal guitarist on TH-cam. But he can't wink. Step it up Erock.
That was incredible dude!
+Lorcan Ward it is for better taping
this would make a great guitar hero song
I was thinking the same thing.
I wanna have it for Rocksmith 2014...
+Felix “XXL” Klimm why not both? 😁
+Vincent Lopez anyone can author this as a custom,well,it just requires good charting/authoring skills
Zeninguem8
neat. I do not have those skills
WELL done, sir. You killed it on this. I really dig your work in general, but the technicality of this piece is a level above. You killed it.
I just listened to Dr. Viossy's version (which has 7 million views) and IMHO just does not compare to the precision and the soul of yours. Well done, Erock.
We need more classical into metal! :D great work!
I've always been a fan of mixing genres of music. Very well done!
the foots up..the hairs tied back..the look of concentration an the odd smile..the outcome? bloody amazing :-D you look relieved at the end :-D I felt winded just watching :-))
As soon as I saw the title I knew this would be fucking amazing. This is one of the most fucking awesome pieces of classical music known to man.
Imagining 331Erock with a powdered wig and 17th to 18th century clothing sitting around a table with Beethoven and several other classical composers having a friendly discussion about music while drinking good German beer while I listen to this
Metal and Moonlight sonata, two of my favourite things :)
Beethoven would be proud , fuck yeah he would be proud.
This is the best cover of the 3rd movement I've ever heard. I already listen to most of your stuff on loop ad infinitum, but this one gets to play ad infinitum-er. Keep on rocking on my good man.
First I watched the 1st movement, and I was thinking how would you play the 3rd... and here I am all happy after I REALLY enjoyed your work on this! I can see how much you love Beethoven and his music art... it shows in your face while you play.. and I can see how much practicing you put on this.. GREAT job! Bravo! ^_^
Ludvig Van Beethoven! One of The Original Rock Stars!
what make eric's vids are being watched is not only because of his great convertion, but also that he is always smiling no matter what.
iv'e always loved your stuff dude... but THIS one... sold me as a subscriber!
ive been doing midi with my keyboard for YEARS... and this movement was one of my early "crowning" moments. i honestly didnt think i would EVER hear it on a guitar, much less, in metal.
keep on rockin man, left breathless on this one. awesome job and i hope the finger bleed isnt too bad :)
I love when they mix classic musics with rock
I was totally hypnotized by this amazing work. That was so good seriously.
Don't know how many times I've watched this now but it is one of my favorites that i keep coming back to, this and song of storms :) really nice job Erock.
I subscribed just because of how you smile when you play guitar. You encourage to keep picking up my own. great stuff man keep it up
Do a metal version of the presto from vivaldi's summer / the 4 seasons please!
Yes!!! Please
I think someone else already did that
Braden Cutright-Head yeah, you're right. after posting this, I actually search for it and found several versions :P
But still, none as good as this guy ;)
Here it is!!!! watch?v=cb-3qwlEsXc
search for children of bodom passage to the reaper ;) it's the summer theme u're looking for..but well i also wants a 331erock cover! :D
The music of Ludwig van Erock. His favourite works include Mozart's Requiem, Handel's Messiah, and Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet.
This is so damn great to listen to while working (CAD engineer here). I wish there were hours more of stuff just like that!
Keep it up man, you're awesome!
I rarely like videos but I liked this one cause it's pure amazing ness
Whatever you do....don't try Piano Concerto No. 3 from Rachmaninoff it will blow up your brain!!!
If he did and pulled it off. It would rip a hole in the fabric of time.
+darkcwboy another one?
darkcwboy summoning the Doctah simultaneously.
+darkcwboy Dr. Who might just spawn if he does it.
*****
but he is fucking damn good
Beethoven was the true initiator of metal. At least it seems to me like this...
Awesome as always!!
This has been missing desperately from my life. THANK YOU :)
holy moly man, song of epic proportions. really really really well done! one of my favorites by far!
My brain has melted from awesomeness, I need to sit down 😂
this will sound silly but to me this sounds like epic battle music
Took a ride through Your music but after this piece which is 100% music sniper bullseye shot I had no way out, subscribed, dude You rock the rock out of hell :D
You rock.
I hate to be so tediously predictable, but you rock in at least two senses of the word, the obvious rock metal sense, and just basically for doing amazing stuff. Thank you.
Brother Erock! Thank you so much for tackling this masterpiece! Arguably not only the most difficult piece to play, but also your best performance to date. Your willingness to keep evolving and breaking new ground solidifies my commitment to support you through Patreon. BTW, wherever did you get the idea to chuck your pick at the camera? Thanks man.
I've been waiting so long for this! YAAAAAAAS! \m/
this is not easy not one bit the amount effort u put in making this is out of this world
this might be one the best of ur works hats off!
Just wow , i bow for the pleasure of my ears !
Awesome, could you possibly do Canon Rock? \m/
I think he already has, if not him I think CRcanada has played it.
+PlainSailingWeather He already has it here - /watch?v=jau8gMtapQo
+PlainSailingWeather Unfortunately the version he did had someone else playing parts. Not someone most of us would be a fan of.
Barry Kyle Well i liked that version, maybe because i listen to both of them :)
Barry Kyle
yeah I saw that, I wasn't a fan, I'd like Eric to do it solo.
Yay! I've been asking for this :] Now it's time for Liszt!
I love when metal and classical music are fused. great work
I think I like the 3rd movement the most because it is such a beautiful piece of heaven to the ears! :D
BROTHER NEEEEEEEEROOOOO
M H-W I KNEW YOU'D COME
_furiously plays piano poorly_
THIS PIECE OF MUSIC IS ABSOLUTELY... DELIGHTFUL AAAAA YEAAAAS
Beethoven would be so proud of you.
Please do, Sergei Prokofiev - Dance of the knights.
Surprised that nobody mentioned Dr. Viossy cover of this piece, take a look at it...amazing.
I think you just laid down the most epic video game track of all time. that was sick my man!
man....Beethoven was metal as fuck.
you know there's an epic boss battling happening at this moment
Brill man
I just love the apogiaturas /acciscaturas (can never remember which is which) to START on the best, not END on the beat.
The little piano bit you had near the end had then done this way.
It's feels more edgy that way. Can really attack first note of it ON the beat
You make play the guitar look like you are just typing a letter. It is so easy and fluent. You're a real guitar magician
wonder why video game companies don't hire you man, these riffs are awesome!
I know you're comment is from 3 years ago, but I'd like to say that I'm a game developer and I'd definitely hire him if I had the funds. He shows an amazing talent at adapting many different themes, so he'd be perfect imo
Bet if beethoven was still alive he'd bring out his piano and mosh along with you
Dudes face is a treat, he's fuckin loving it. Music is the best thing!
I may not be the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Metal. But I love seeing guitarists with skill and great musicianship. You, sir, are one of them. I've always your covers of videogame and movie theme music, but this was just awesome. Nice work!
Brother Erock, I knew you'd come!
Look at that fucking skill!
Holy Sh!t!! Mad kudos dude. Just finished my college music course and covered the 1st movement. Enjoyed that and found the 3rd and LOVED it. Mad props for doing this man. Great job!!!!!!
That was the best I've ever heard you play dude!! Absolutely beautiful!!!
You have done the impossible my friend..
*THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR MEETS METAL*
I feel ashamed for only discovering this now - especially since a) Beethoven is my favorite classical composer, b) Moonlight Sonata is my favorite piece, and c) this was uploaded on my birthday. Good gracious, it only took me... 3 months to find it xD Well belated happy birthday to me, lol. Fantastic cover!
This is easily top 3....GO 331erock! Beethoven with a guitar is a dream come true!!!! Cody, you are absolutely amazing!
Brother Eric! I knew you'd come!!
Rise of the Valkyries would sound cool in metal form
Dr Viossy interperetation, perfectly played. Impressive. Congrats.
Like the fact that you always seem to be smiling. Keep it up man!
I'm sure Beethoven is throwing the goat from beyond the grave!
Every time I see one of your videos I just wanna be your friend
this absolutely ludicrous, I need more of this in my life
I have no words to express my admiration for your works! Please, don't give up it! Keep it on! And please, more, more and more classical covers! God bless you and your divine gift!
This version sounds like a soundtrack straight out of a Castevania game at times.
This was in Symphony of the Night actually. Way back in '97.
*_IT'S A DILAPIDATED BOAT_*
YOU OBSOLETE MULE!
this comment must be Deleted
Brother Nero, I knew you'd come!
Aaaaaaaa.... Jajaja, 331 Nero, I knew you come
Wonderful!
Eric, how is it possible? My ears hear, but my eyes can't see when your fingers touch the strings! And what a performance! Just Hi-voltage sound!
This is definitely my favourite. Keep going dude, you're amazing.
