Erock, you think that anime is your ally; you simply adapted to it; I was born in it, moulded by it, I didn't see the light because I was too busy watching anime... And I never will.
Lala Hyder Or SAO just gets so much hate and that's why people are disliking this video too. I think Eric has done a great job as always but I actually don't blame SAO haters. That anime had a good pilot but it sucked after about 10 episodes.
regularshow960 I completely agree. Im not a feminist, but I loved seeing Asuna kicking ass, and the action was some of the best. But then...Asuna got useless, and the show was concentrated more on emotional stuff like love. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but the execution was slightly underwhelming.
I think the best part about his videos isn't the music or skill. It's that you can obviously see that he genuinely enjoys doing what he does. He's happy when he's playing his guitar. He's happy when he's making these videos for us. And I think that's what really sets him apart from other TH-camrs.
Man you look sooooo fucking happy to play these songs for us ! makes the vids even better to watch, seeing you smile like this makes me want to smile :)
Didn't know this would nearly bring me to tears. I seriously LOVE Sword Art Online, and kirito and Asuna's relationship is nearly a perfect example of my relationship. So glad you did this.
Lol try this www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=wuFepRC98Mo to do this at any time just type in the word "repeat" in bewtween "youtube" and ".com" in the https address. Good luck hope this helps :D
DUDE! your play style, its like someone handed Crossing Field to the two World Champion Guitarists from Dragonforce. thats amazing. you shoudl try your hand at playing Swordland , also from SAO
I love his facial expression while he plays guitar. That's passion right there man, you can see he absolutely loves doing this x) Much respect, brother!
Man, I could only imagine what he could do with a few of Madoka Magica's songs. Take something like Mami's theme or Magi and just make the best cover ever.
Any Yuki Kajiura soundtrack would be great!: Mai-Hime,Kara no Kyoukai, Noir.. etc.. (I've been waiting for ages to hear a Canta per Me metal version :( ) She's a great composer!
+Kristen Asuna Rey It was one of my favorite anime until well I noticed that the setting is good but characters and progression was awful. I still feel some hatred for kirito because his character is too unstable and well he is jesus-kun. When he looks a girl in the eye BAM welcome to the harem bitches. But I will say that it still has some place in my heart as an anime that made me fantasize about what future might bring. And one last thing... Long Live Ainz Ooal Gown-sama
***** teh idea of the nerve gear was cool, and i even had to admit that the medical use of nerve gear would make things easier for dealing with patents pain or mental status
mark reinink ***** It should be over( the first season that is ) , there has been a extended edition, and there is a new season coming out but i don't know when.
This is gonna make no sense to most people, but your long hair for some reason makes me respect you more as a rock guitarist. Idk why, it just reminds me of another pretty famous guitarist but I can't remember his name.
Lol I wasn't expecting people to start guessing. And none of the ones you guys guessed. Even though I still can remember his name, I know that although the person I'm thinking of is famous, he isn't Guitar Legend level famous.
" So Happy. " - Nintendocaprisun (If I remember. ) This is really good and you seem to enjoy playing guitar and doing these covers. Keep doing the good work!
Great cover. Couldn't get into the series personally, but I loved the OST for the Aincrad arc and the Fairy Arc. Often, I will not like an anime, but will still listen to the OST once it is out because Anime music is so phenomenal.
Oh yeah, that would be awesome. I wonder how Libera me from Hell (the opera song) would sound in metal... oh, and please make Kill la Kill too, the 2nd opening :)
***** No. Some people debate whether that was the second season, but it's generally considered the second arc of season 1. The new season is called Gun Gale Online.
***** The manga for the third and fourth ''games'' has already been released, so I doubt they would make a new season if they weren't received well, you know? And while I agree that the second arc wasn't quite as good as the first one, it was still good. People like to compare things and judge them based on that, not on the show itself. - It was still an excellent series.
I can't believe this fucking exists but thank God it does
you make me sad that I can only push thumbs up once
mad pariah you're not the only one and plus I like what you did there with how you said that just like asuna
make that 50
I love how happy he looks. That just makes the video for me!
he totally maxed out his guitar skill man that was one hell of a guitar ability
Plot twist, Metal Guitar is a highest player speed only skill. Kinda like Kirito's Dual Wield. (Corrected since Sesha Beowulf's comment)
*****
Been a while since i've seen it. Thanks for correcting me nicely.
***** is a unique habiliti, the novel explain better :D
I'm sorry, but i lost the link :(
Sebastian Gudiño
Link....End?
His guitar looks like Kirito's sword. ^^
Aërion Now we need to think of a name for it. The Shredlucidator is the best I can come up with.
RobotSnake Im bad at thinking of names :s
Aërion You have a good name yourself.
Velknil -Chan Thanks ^^
Holy shit yeah!
No words can describe how epic this is.

Indeed ha ha Indeed....
Always the same smile on his videos =) Nice job as always. Greatings from France
This guy is so happy with what he deos........Dayum that makes me happy too!
I'm new to this guy lol I noticed that too haha he just couldn't stop the smiles :D
BEST IN THE WORLD! Marked out for the CM Punk shirt. Great music as well.
i've never seen someone this happy when doing covers
I think you are the happiest Guitarplayer on the world ! :D I love your covers and how you smile while playing :)
your smiling face
it makes me happy to see that you are having so much fun while playing metal :)
Are you fucking kidding me 331Erock?
Even Sword Art Online?
How fucking awesome are you, bro?
Listening to this made me realize how much I used to love this anime. I have to watch it again.
just wait for gun gale online, it gotta be awesome
lolomawisoft Wait, was it confirmed? I missed the episode on the 31st.
Wooohooo!!!!!!!!!!
a fps anime who can say no oh wait ye girls might say no, but their is going to be romance and kirito as a girl nobody can say no :D
I already loved the theme, but your metal version is even better.
I love the way he smiles while playing, you can really see how much he enjoys and loves playing guitar
he spreads happiness XD
In form of metal!!
Erock, you think that anime is your ally; you simply adapted to it; I was born in it, moulded by it, I didn't see the light because I was too busy watching anime... And I never will.
I completely agree because Elfen Lied.
Darth Doge
When in doubt, Lucy.
***** her name is kaede
pupinator98
Kinda looked like Lucy, sorry for the confusion.
***** They're the same person, it's just Kaede is her true name,. Lucy was given to her by the Kakuzawa institute.
OP Maybe u should try gun gale online aka sao season 2 theme?
that song is great
Once the song is released this month maybe it he will.
Oscar Morales
ya most likely
love it
Blazeja Gaming I still think this one is better imo
you have defeated all 100 levels of Aincrad
THE SMILING!! ARRGHH MUST SUB!!
HE ALWAYS SMILES!!!! HE'S JUST SO HAPPY!
Jeff Marshall HOW CAN YOU NOT SMILE WHEN PLAYING OR LISTENING TO THIS BEAUTIFUL HAPPY SONG!!!!
I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE TYPING LIKE THIS BUT YEAH!!!!
Stop screaming. People are trying to sleep.
HahnDragoner 523 I KNOW RIGHT!
AWESOME, ONE OF MY FAVE ANIME SAO
ULTIMATE AMAZINGNESS. :)) Jesse Cox brought me to this channel and I looooove this SAO OP rendition. :D :D much wow. So respect. :))
As usual, fantastic *fantastic* work my man. Keep on rocking!
OK SERIOUSLY WHO THE FUCK DISLIKES THIS
Somebody that needs to die.... I will get right on it
I didn't, but on a bad day I'd possibly dislike it because he simplified the chord progressions a little, took out the jazzy stuff.
regularshow960 Akihiko Kayaba and Suogoh. Those assholes.
Lala Hyder Or SAO just gets so much hate and that's why people are disliking this video too. I think Eric has done a great job as always but I actually don't blame SAO haters. That anime had a good pilot but it sucked after about 10 episodes.

But then...Asuna got useless, and the show was concentrated more on emotional stuff like love. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but the execution was slightly underwhelming.
Fairy Tail meets metal!
so many good openings..
Heartless103
the classic fairy tail theme mixed with some battle music would be awesome
I was thinking opening three. Personal favorite of mine. I think a really hard one to take would be "we are" from one piece.
I think the best part about his videos isn't the music or skill. It's that you can obviously see that he genuinely enjoys doing what he does. He's happy when he's playing his guitar. He's happy when he's making these videos for us. And I think that's what really sets him apart from other TH-camrs.
Damn dude, not just another metal cover.... this is some quality metal interpretation! Mad love dude!
+331Erock Sword Art... CM Punk... and Metal? You sir are a GOD amongst men.
***** I shit my pants after seeing the Punk shirt, I like this guy a million times more now.
TheirishGamer_ 98 ikr my favorite anime and my favorite wrestler
+AKGraphiX91 You forgot the smile :D
AKGraphiX91 Ofc he is!
Anthony Kearns thailoaa
Your expressed enjoyment of the music you recreate reflects very much on the viewers of this video. Rock on!
I think think I've seen a single video where he's not smiling while playing.
I can't bear it anymore....I must SUBCRIBBEEEE! After this and the Attack on Titan one, there's no going back.
Same, just subscribed... guy's awesome!
0:59 YUME DE TAKAKU TONDA KARADA WA DONNA FUAN MATOTTE MO FURIHARATTE IKU
..I can't help it, okay..
you made an already badass song even more badass
It's not only badass, it's also swordass.
I enjoy all of your videos, but I just LOVED this one since SAO is one of my all-time favorite animes ever. Amazing job man!
This is actually way better than I expected! Great job on this! Damn it's amazing!
I hope Soul Eater is the next anime meets metal!
BLACK PAPER MOON and the first opening!!
the work he put into the intro tho :0
I know.
He should do one for Akame Ga Kill or High School DxD
YUSH! Akame Ga Kill Op 2 :3
YESSSS AKAME GA KILL OH MY GOD.
I agree for highschool Dxd
James Cutler Because of oppai? ;)))))))))))))
I watch it for the plot
God Knows from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! Awesome video here man! Love all your vids
I've never seen somebody so happy.. Doing anything
Man you look sooooo fucking happy to play these songs for us ! makes the vids even better to watch, seeing you smile like this makes me want to smile :)
I sincerely thank you for this, Eric. You just made my day with this vid, keep rocking on my friend, keep rocking on \m/
a perfect way to end sword art online!
I want to always be with you
I'll give you everything i have
Love SAO!
yeah bro that show made me cry
Justin Weber made me cry too
Them Feels..
only the ost is good in this anime,and the 1st ep
Justin Weber l0l
Didn't know this would nearly bring me to tears. I seriously LOVE Sword Art Online, and kirito and Asuna's relationship is nearly a perfect example of my relationship. So glad you did this.
for fuck sake this has been out for 4 months and i just figure out about it now!?
lol same here.
oh man, that main melody. so many feels
I expected something else to be honest, lol.
But it's a lot better than I thought! Well done!
10 hour version please
Lol try this www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=wuFepRC98Mo to do this at any time just type in the word "repeat" in bewtween "youtube" and ".com" in the https address. Good luck hope this helps :D
DUDE! your play style, its like someone handed Crossing Field to the two World Champion Guitarists from Dragonforce. thats amazing. you shoudl try your hand at playing Swordland , also from SAO
Dragonforce are pretty fucking good
trekman1701 FUCK YEAH DRAGONFORCE!!!!!
Now it should ve rather Swordforce.
SAO is probably my one of my favorite anime, and this song rendition definitely did the original justice!
Academy Awards: Leo we need that Oscar back, we found a better performer
*cri* (XD)
Why are neko girls in anime so fucking cute
Shock Trooper You want it, too
This just made my favourite anime even better O.O
I love his facial expression while he plays guitar. That's passion right there man, you can see he absolutely loves doing this x) Much respect, brother!
Elfen lied meets metal!!!
Please!!🙏
Yes, oh my god we need it. It's called Lillium I think.
Levi Smith yes it's lillium, but i want it but i also don't want it becase then i'll cry :'(
Man, I could only imagine what he could do with a few of Madoka Magica's songs. Take something like Mami's theme or Magi and just make the best cover ever.
Any Yuki Kajiura soundtrack would be great!: Mai-Hime,Kara no Kyoukai, Noir.. etc.. (I've been waiting for ages to hear a Canta per Me metal version :( )
She's a great composer!
Never seen so much enthusiasm. Awesome!
i know right?? its like he is doing the one single thing he loves in the world...
I love how you are smiling in every of your videos while playing the guitar. It makes you so sympathetic. ^^
oh my god... this is happening... fav anime ever meets metal...
E: I love you. Keep doin what you do man.
SO SICK!!!!
You are sick
NO IT WAS NOT. metal is not sick
Batuhan yıldız And you are stupid. Sick can also be a compliment you genius.
You are sick -_-
Batuhan yıldız thank you
I love the guitar solo he added! Keep up the amazing work!
that huge smile on your face is so great! shows how much you enjoy the music! great cover btw
The way he looked at his guitar at the end said, " wow...I killed that shit..."
My favorite anime song turned metal..... My day can't get any better than this.
*_LOOKING BACK AT THIS... SAO IS STILL MY FAV ANIME AND THIS IS STILL MY FAV SAO SONG :P_*
+Kristen Asuna Rey you mean the best harem in all anime history?
+Kristen Asuna Rey I use to like SAO but now its just fun to rip apart.
+Kristen Asuna Rey
its my first anime
+Kristen Asuna Rey It was one of my favorite anime until well I noticed that the setting is good but characters and progression was awful.

Awesome! I also love how you smile and actually ENJOY the fact that you are playing.
You sir, are amazing!
i just finished this anime today and i have to say it was a lot better than i thought.
Did you really finish it? Cause last I checked it was still going on...
gogetta159 idk...maybe everything i know is a lie...and you're right.
gogetta159 yeah, it says ongoing, but the next episode is coming in april or so
mark reinink ***** It should be over( the first season that is ) , there has been a extended edition, and there is a new season coming out but i don't know when.
there is a new season and it is with guns
lol
Erock you could use a green screen to increase your epic level to unreal proportions.
This isn't some power metal music video. lol
That Intro Is lit man! The way you started this song was PERFECT!
YOU ARE THE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, Akihiko Kayaba is
TheDjpwn3 who?
PhoenixSora9aOs3 ...You can't be serious.
TheDjpwn3 i am
PhoenixSora9aOs3 He is the creator/designer of SAO and the one responsible for trapping 10000 player in the game.
The way you smile ! I know you're a good man !
This is gonna make no sense to most people, but your long hair for some reason makes me respect you more as a rock guitarist. Idk why, it just reminds me of another pretty famous guitarist but I can't remember his name.
Slash?
Dimbag?
Lol I wasn't expecting people to start guessing. And none of the ones you guys guessed. Even though I still can remember his name, I know that although the person I'm thinking of is famous, he isn't Guitar Legend level famous.
You just put my all time favorites together Metal & SAO (anime)!! This is so dope!! You and a GOD!!
if this replaced the actual OP
+josh lerio I would watch it again
Damn, thats what i call edgy.
+DopeAap Your profile picture fits perfectly with your comment.
+Sean I Boy (Gamer villager) A lot of the times I hear the song I end up watching at least one episode and I use it as a ringtone.
yes it must
Yes! Watched just in time for SAO 2
What about SAO 3 AKA Gun Gale Online?
TheMinePro omfg SAO and Alfien were the same series. GGO is the new season
TheMinePro you are such an idiot
ggo is the second season
alo (aka that fairy game) was the second PART of season one
Jeremy Balceta Sorry... I didn't know until release. xD. I commented this before it came out
TheMinePro ahh thats fine
but i realy hate when these "otakus" say season 1 2 and 3 when its only 1 and 2
What about a "soul eater meets metal" that would be awesome :)
Soul eat already sounds metal but would be interesting to see his take on it.
Yeah, Tommy Heavenly6's Paper Moon! :D
Yes please.
FaiRi Lee If I could spam likes...That thumb would be so dead.
i like the sound of that.
so good. and the smile of joy is just amazing to see. this little empath loves to see people really into their art.
Awesome work! Thanks for covering anime openings :)
this. is. totally. AWESOME.
you should also try to cover Highschool Of The Dead's opening, i bet it would end out epic :D
YES.
Sick Metal cover and rockin' out a CM Punk shirt to boot.
this is amazing dude :o you can tell how much you love to play as well when you do it, you're always smiling aw

Christmas Carols meet metal. (the first noel, jinglebells, deck the halls, etc.)
FMA meets metal would be really cool
Great cover. Couldn't get into the series personally, but I loved the OST for the Aincrad arc and the Fairy Arc. Often, I will not like an anime, but will still listen to the OST once it is out because Anime music is so phenomenal.
i love how stoked you look every time you play the guitar, awesome video!
Gurren Lagann PLEASE!!! PIERCE THE HEAVENS WITH DRILLS AND HEAVY METAL!!!
Seconded.
Just who the hell do you think we are?
Oh yeah, that would be awesome. I wonder how Libera me from Hell (the opera song) would sound in metal... oh, and please make Kill la Kill too, the 2nd opening :)
