Hate Eternal played in my country. And some of us got to hang out with him and some are still in contact with him. I must say he is a very very sweet guy and very humble and for that reason I shall forever support Hate Eternal
This man is a cornerstone of death metal..!!! Anyone who inspires to become involved in death metal should truly take inspiration from this legend..!!!
Been listening to Morbid Angel and Hate Eternal close to two decades and only now I realize that Rutan reminds me of a young Arnold Shwarzenegger ! Respect and cheers from Morocco
This dude is an absolute death metal legend. Saw him live ~12 years ago and he absolutely slayed the guitar. Super intense. Highly recommend for people to see him live!
Erik is one of the greats ever. What he is able to do live is unbelievable. Dude is a savage on stage. Thanks for the upload, man. I've just come across this channel
Erik is new into the active pickup family, He is "classic school" He favors old cabinets, those BC Rich pointy headstocks, passive pickups, I love his rig rundown, I would love to see more of his stuff in 2022
Passive pick ups are heavens above active ones. I realized it after few years of using active ones. Honestly now I think I would never choose active over passive ones now
Love Rutan! He’s such a nice guy. I got to meet him a couple years ago and he was more than happy to talk and sign a record for my friend. Not to mention he’s produced some of my favorite albums over the years.
Really cool guy! I was lucky enough to meet him in Melbourne when Hate Eternal toured Oz years ago. Really down to earth and chill dude and was happy to chat with the fans and answer questions.
Terrance Hobbs of Suffocation uses the Maxom 808 as well. Boss made some outstanding pedals in the 90’s that still hold up today. When I was playing out live in a Death Metal band in the 90’s through the early 2000’s I used a 1995 Boss ME-8 Guitar Multi Effects Processor. That was and still is such a great multi effects pedal. The distorted tone I created was absolutely killer as well as the cleans. Highly recommend it for anyone playing Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Black Metal, Grindcore, etc.
I have seen Erik few years back in Manchester. I had him face to face for whole show and got his guitar pick at the end. My baldy head is visible on YT during HE show. I love Hate Eternal and I love Erik as a guitarist and vocalist. Morbid Angel's Domination era with Erik was my favourite. I can not wait to see Hate Ethernal in UK once again. I asked Trey A. about Erik and future giggs. I did not hear anything special but I have to believe that some day they will come back to UK.
Eric's passion for metal is always evident. He's in a killer band and he's an awesome producer. And for us old-school metalheads, he's the guy that made Cannibal Corpse actually sound like Cannibal Corpse on studio recordings. He brought home that live Cannibal sound. He's a somewhat overlooked but highly important figure in the history of metal. And one of the best, if not the best, ambassador that extreme metal has ever had.
Awesome. Mega blessing to Master Erik Rutan. Long Live Hate Eternal. Hey Digital Bus, try doing videos with Malevolent Creation and Cannibal Corpse. 2 of my favorite death metal bands. Thanks as always for the videos. You rule.
Glad you liked this video! We have some videos with Cannibal Corpse from Mayhem a few years back, but they haven't been interested in filming any of our cool video series. We'll try to get Malevolent Creation next time they're in town though!
Awesome. As far as Cannibal Corpse not being interested, I guest they're just way too busy. Just hope that they didn't catch the rock star attitude bug. That's never something they've been known for.
Chuloloc I'm not sure why they turn us down. Metal is hit and miss. Some bands love doing cool interviews like this and others are more reserved/just want to play music. It's always up in the air.
Oh, this concerned future episode with Suffocation :) They, and Dying Fetus are known for using Ampeg VH 140cc. But funny thing is - Erik probably also used this amp on first Hate Eternal album.
I wish... I wish so badly that I could just be friends with this man, or hell I'd pay for the time! Just so he could show me his ways, this dude is a master of his craft, he fuckin loves metal and he puts in so much work. Much respect 🙏
Does that black guitar model even exist or is it a custom one, cause Ive been looking for hours online but theres not a single one with a reverse headstock, neck through and all black...
Yeah I have grown out of death metal for the most part, but Morbid Angel will always have a special place ion my heart, and Erik was a big part of that for me. Seeing the B.C. Rich Ironbird brought back some memories. I am def a fan of his production work though.
Nice to see a neck through Irobird . Used to own one many years ago , unfortunately it got stolen . Have never been able to replace the same American made neck through model . BC Rich Korea are inferior . But I have owned nothing but BC Rich guitars they are superior , or at least were before the bolt on neck models saturated the market . Erik Titan is the best guitar player in all of Death Metal . It's refreshing to finally read no irrelevant immature negativity in the comments . Titan is religiously a nice guy .

I love how enthusiastic Erik is in every single interview and gear rundown he’s in. Dude loves his pointy guitars and metal!
He's just a really great guy!
He’s one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and if you notice Trey uses the same stuff almost
Hi, this is Erik Rutan....the mastermind behind just about every badass death metal albums for the past 20 years, and in Hate Eternal.
🤘
@@digitaltourbus
Just see him in Toledo....fuckin awesome...A night with the legends (Hate Eternal, Cannibal Corpse).
He is making cannibal corpse sound so amazing live these days .
🤘🤘🤘
Cannibal has always crushed live
From C# down to Low A. 😁
What a down to earth and knowledgable guy!
Totally!
I saw this guy play with morbid angel on the pantera tour he was mentioning about 15 years ago. A fantastic player!
Such an awesome guitar player!
Saw the same tour, Reinventing the Steel/Gateways to Annihilation. Was blown away at the mastery being demonstrated by MA, Pete the feet is the man.
Casey M
That must've been incredible.
Was there at Hammerstein Ballroom!

Erik is such a chill dude. Just watched his van tour and he was just stoked about everything there too!
Couldn't agree more!
I'd love to see a Rutan Ironbird Signature guitar. That just feels like it would be bad ass.
🤘🤘
I am shocked it doesn't exist yet
Now that BC Rich is back in business, we can only hope.
With BC Rich being back, and Rutan being a full time CC member, its seems more likely
This man is a cornerstone of death metal..!!! Anyone who inspires to become involved in death metal should truly take inspiration from this legend..!!!

:)
he reminds me more of jack nicholson
Yeah, similar here. I don't know how big he is but he has a face of huge dude heh I guess you know what I mean.
Eric Rutan is the nicest guy in Metal hands down!
Definitely!
Thanks Erik for all them heavy ass cannibal records
:)
Digital Tour Bus did you know Eric rutan is a producer
josh jacobus Of course!
This dude is an absolute death metal legend. Saw him live ~12 years ago and he absolutely slayed the guitar. Super intense. Highly recommend for people to see him live!
such a nice guy and treatable, something you don't often see in the music industry and showbiz in general
Yup, he most definitely is and you definitely don't see it as much as you should! :)
Erik is one of the greats ever. What he is able to do live is unbelievable. Dude is a savage on stage. Thanks for the upload, man. I've just come across this channel
Glad you liked the video! Make sure you subscribe if you haven't already. :)
Who can't love Erik Rutan? This guy has such passion.
He's great!
Exactly. You can tell he loves this shit, unlike few other bands for whom it's clearly a job, not passion
Simple but high end gear. He is one of my death metal guitar hero. His riff is aggressive technical and power and his solo full of passion.
🤘
Such a humble and genuine dude.
Erik is new into the active pickup family, He is "classic school" He favors old cabinets, those BC Rich pointy headstocks, passive pickups, I love his rig rundown, I would love to see more of his stuff in 2022

damn, Ironbird. Such a classic old school death metal guitar.
Definitely
Nice! no axe fx or kemper crap! pretty refreshing seeing a gear run down where the guitarist is using good ol tube amps!
Yeah, it's becoming so common these days.
Love Rutan! He’s such a nice guy. I got to meet him a couple years ago and he was more than happy to talk and sign a record for my friend. Not to mention he’s produced some of my favorite albums over the years.
He's truly a nice guy!
Really cool guy! I was lucky enough to meet him in Melbourne when Hate Eternal toured Oz years ago. Really down to earth and chill dude and was happy to chat with the fans and answer questions.
He's one of the good ones for sure!
I watch this video religiously
😀
Hes hands down one of my favorite players. And hes hands down the best death metal producer for over a decade now.
💯
makes me happy listening
PLEASE try to get Bill Steer and Trey Azagthoth!
Try Azargoth would be a epic win for hate Eternal!
The Rutan Clan
Thanks for watching!
Ain't nothing to fuck wit
Rutan is for the children
Thanks for the upload! Cheers!
No biggie!

Erik has a lot of religion in his gear lol

He sure does for a death metal guy. Lol
If I were to worship anything, it'd be gear.
@@Admiral_Bongo ha, no kidding, I can’t live without my Marshall’s either

The Ironbird is one of my dream guitars.
Great channel, great band! What more could one ask for?
Not sure! ;)
Swell guy! Saw them at this show. Ripping Corpse for life!
😀
Definition of Death Metal has this mans name all over it! Beast of a player and gr8 producer!
🤘
Met him in Dallas play with cannibal corpse amazing and down to earth dude
🤘
Saw him with Morbid Angel years ago. Dudes a beast!👹
For sure!
Very underrated guitarist...now he is filling in on some live shows with cannibal corpse
@@abrahamparish Yup!
what a player! He only uses the best stuff, and really it is not that complicated! Sometimes the simplest is the best.

Petition for Pat to rejoin CC for a few tours so Erik can do a run of tours with hate eternal
Pats in exhorder now cept for when they go outta state
I never saw anybody use that combination of pickups
Thanks for watching
The Iron Bird first caught my eye after seeing Rick Rozz from Death playing it on the Ultimate Revenge 2.
Wow what a cool guy, really down to earth, love is attitude, beast of a guitarist 🤘
Such a cool dude. And a monster musician.
Veeery cool to see, thank you!
No biggie!
Met him in 96 with Morbid and on a Hate Eternal tour. Nice bloke!
He's one of the good ones!
I wish Hate Eternal were still jamming.

o yea .. he's used to be in morbid Angel... no wonder he looks familiar
Yup!
20 years ago
Hate Eternal shows off the gear that they use onstage!
Who should we film with next?
suffocation
Ettienne Groenewald An episode with them is coming soon!
Hey if it's still possible - ask them why they get rid of Ampeg VH 140 cc, which was part of original NY Death Metal sound.
Łukasz Klat We have no way of getting back in contact with Hate Eternal. Try tweeting Erik.
Oh, this concerned future episode with Suffocation :) They, and Dying Fetus are known for using Ampeg VH 140cc.
But funny thing is - Erik probably also used this amp on first Hate Eternal album.
Love Erik Rutan.
11-56 D'Addario, C sharp, all-mahogony, SD custom bridge and Bill Lawrence L500 neck.
I love C#. Suffocation plays in this tune
Erik uses the Gibson Dirty Fingers pickup now, he also uses A# in Cannibal Corpse
I was bidding on that guitar on Ebay and the seller messaged me back and said "Erik sweet talked me". LOL!!!!!
Really?
the black reverse headstock yeah lol totally cool he probably made awesome music with it!
Such a cool dude and a great producer. Is he playing with Morbid Angel again or just mixing the next record?
I don't believe he's playing with them again, but I could be wrong.
He's now playing with cannibal corpse on some live stuff
That story on how he got that guitar off Ebay is really cool.
I wonder if that dude still gets into shows for free ?
Best Ironbird I ever seen,I want the one they have on the website.Looks so badass.The red one btw
🤘🤘
"When i was touring with Pantera!" Yeah no big deal. Gooooooddddd!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭\m/ \m/
🤘
There's footage of him playing "Walk" with them on stage.
The Man!!!!
He's great!
Where can I buy the B.C. Rich Ironbird? But the one like Erik's ones, with tremolo. I searched so much and didn't find anything.
I'm not sure, sorry!
bc rich custom shop. there in California. call them
Just keep an eye out. they're out there, it just takes time to find the good stuff.
bribe trey azagtoth
I wish... I wish so badly that I could just be friends with this man, or hell I'd pay for the time! Just so he could show me his ways, this dude is a master of his craft, he fuckin loves metal and he puts in so much work. Much respect 🙏
Best Band ever ! (along with Nile and Morbid Angel)
Definitely!
Does that black guitar model even exist or is it a custom one, cause Ive been looking for hours online but theres not a single one with a reverse headstock, neck through and all black...
That ironbird..wow.
Is the EQ through the front of amp or back preamp section?
gonna see em next month :P :)
🤘🤘
yes
he produced an agnostic front record my life my way did a great job...very knowlegable guy of music
🤘🤘
Erik Rutan is a fuckin beast
is it just me or are we overdue for a new Hate Eternal abum?
LOL @ 6:55
I'm just trying to get a beer... what's so fucking hard about that
The Bill Lawrence pickup is meant to be used in the bridge position.
One of the coolest dudes in metal! Check him out in the Cannibal Corpse making-of studio vids. VERY talented producer!
Is there any possibility you guys could do Arch Enemy gear masters?
We can try to next time they tour through our area, but ultimately it's up to them, not us.
SWEET! I know it's not a guarantee but sstill thank you! You guys rule, keep up the good work.
This is a cool video!
Fuck yeah. Misery Index is sick too!
