This is literally my childhood dream coming true! Thanks so much E :D

[@331Erock]

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!

[@FeniksStudio]

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

[@JasonBauman]

Hey, you heard they're bringing Homestar Runner back.. right? Right? *wink wink, nudge nudge*

[@iPhoneeditor]

Keep up the awesomeness! You ROCK my subscribtions! :D

[@MarcJansen]

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... ;-) )

[@GiulianoM14]

Just a small suggestion... You should do a cover of how to train your dragon ! The sequel has the best music.

[@ricardoalbano5517]

Such epic feeling :D ah the memories of watching this series in summer time. You did justice to it.

[@mosmeijler3089]

great series, great soundtrack and great cover! as a request would love an airwolf meets metal version

[@ScheherazOdd]

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!

[@DoctorVic]

MacGyver was always one of my childhood heroes! He is such a badass!

[@topethYt]

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!

[@wacka.]

was expecting a guitar made from elastic bands and bits of bamboo

[@metalred74]

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!

[@noneofyourbusiness9217]

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!

[@phoenixdragondreams1021]

*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*

[@DecayingReverie]

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!

[@SargeRho]

Now I have to re-watch MacGyver. And probably Stargate, too :P

[@TheJarric]

or new macgyver

[@Ceelker]

No. Not the reboot.

[@eric86041]

La Bartholomeow the reboot isn't BAD I just wish the old RDA would all east make a cameo

[@crystalidentity]

@@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.

[@rattgirl]

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.

[@supernaturalfreako]

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.

[@hlrctech1028]

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!!

[@DMC2983NL]

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

[@rockypaquin8834]

I have all 7 seasons and both movies too.

[@crystalidentity]

Ingeious gadget freak? Do tell.

[@TrekZero]

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 :)

[@jodyoliveira8969]

i think the A-team is the best theme ever... but thats just me..... cause "i love it when a plan comes together"

[@MarkOfTzeentch]

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)

[@rockypaquin8834]

So do I.

[@ngreatshark]

Welp, guess the next place we should go from here is Knight Rider Meets Metal

[@BrooklynKnight]

OH HELL YEA!

[@gitofaber]

Yes!

[@FlinckShinesOn]

...hasn't he already done that...?

[@BrooklynKnight]

Has he? I don't see it..

[@FlinckShinesOn]

Arthur Borko Then I guess it was wishfull thinking then ^^. But yes - DO IT!

[@SeanDoubleJ]

For this song you should have built your own guitar using a hubcap, a broomstick, and some dental floss.

[@redfive2008]

That capo on the first fret looks MacGyvered. Will that suffice?

[@TridonsEve]

LOL! That actually made me laugh :D

[@killianseraphim]

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

[@burnsZY85]

You could make a guitar from all those materials and give it to him.

[@rockypaquin8834]

don't forget the duct tape and paper clips.

[@mollymarsgal3377]

I'm working on the 2 time watching all of them!

[@thetruetojo5416]

killianseraphim same here

[@axelwulf6220]

What about the chewing gum and candy wrapper?

[@bluedeath911]

Ah MacGyver ! Give that man a paperclip and a rubber band and he'll make you an ICBM. Awesome version you have here.

[@robertcorbell1006]

Got the entire series for my birthday one year on dvd. :)

[@rockypaquin8834]

sweet!

[@crystalidentity]

The ENTIRE series?? OMG, how many boxes of DVDs did it take to cover that many episodes...

[@rainesubnaut5918]

Man... Erock always looks so happy. he must really be passionate about Guitar playing. awesome work, i love the MacGyver series.

[@RyanLowerthe3lracer]

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!

[@Evilnor7]

Warcraft meets metal would be awesome. Love all those background tracks from Warcraft 2 and such :D

[@danielsandifer7370]

I grew a mullet just now watching this! awesome

[@crystalidentity]

LOL!!!

[@BKathos]

great!!! MacGyver was the show that had the biggest impact on me as a kid. Great cover and fluid picking and tone!!! loved it!!

[@unclenic9694]

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.

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Awesome Eric... Airwolf next man

[@denniswilkinson9749]

Yes, AIRWOLF! I have actually got the Airwolf patch (somewhere) Needs a flight suit to go with it!

[@Chivas6]

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!

[@Dowlphin]

Chivas6 And they say MEN don't understand WOMEN, haha.

[@L1011Widebody]

Along these lines, have you considered doing KNIGHT RIDER? That would be epic.

[@L1011Widebody]

Or The A-Team, that would be bitching!

[@Arkume8Beltz]

Or the Street Hawk..or The Greatest American Hero..XD

[@dmschoice2571]

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! ;)

[@samuelr9840]

YES

[@Gwaniz]

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!!!

[@danielrocheleau4048]

MacGyver was on of my favorite shows! You did it justice my friend! Awesome piece as always! Ps. INVISIBLE TOUCH MEETS METAL!!

[@acerking76]

FUCK YEAH! now for airwolf :P

[@TheVGViking]

Darkwing Duck meets metal. Such a thing needs to exist.

[@ArtLutherie777]

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!

[@phantomx16x]

Dude! Just starting to watch Macgyver again on Netflix, keep rocking on!

[@marcelojr8835]

Que incrível cara !! 😍😍🇧🇷🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️

[@NateTheKnifeArt]

Eric made this video with only a rubber band, two paper clips, a handful of corn chips, and a used condom.

[@translighter2]

And don't forget awesomeness. Can't forget that lol

[@hungrygrimalkin5610]

See? Condoms are useful after all.

[@harlockgr79]

Do not forget the swiss Army Knife

[@crystalidentity]

@@hungrygrimalkin5610 Since when are *used* condoms useful?? Arrrrgh, gross!!! 🤢

[@treuzebits]

such nostalgia, such awesome, such metal, such amazing video!!! thanks man! :D

[@antonsdefrancua]

Macgyver was and are now my favorite serial. Very good that Macgyver could meet metal.

[@MarkOfTzeentch]

If they ever remake MacGyver.. they seriously need to use this as the theme

[@Dowlphin]

If they ever remade MacGyver, it would suck. I'd probably watch the intro every week though.

[@MarkOfTzeentch]

Dowlphin that is true.. but would be fun to watch.. especially if they got Richard Dean Anderson back in the lead

[@Taylzz]

MarkOfTzeentch Guy is like a billion years old and swool as --

[@MarkOfTzeentch]

Taylzz Your point?

[@paxhumana2015]

Dowlphin , speaking of things that suck, you might want to look at a mirror, you nag.

[@yoyoleader]

this video reminds me of my childhood Excellent~!

[@eMemoryCard]

Extremely talented guitarist! Amazing music! Thanks!

[@TheOneRebornElyrize]

I dont know if this has been done but DO AIRWOLF! O_O

[@Mobius395]

Definitely!

[@TheCptSam]

Was just about to say this, so instead I'll just bump your post :D

[@dragontempest1983]

yes airwolf would be good to.

[@GuillaumeHAY]

Yeah, could be great !

[@serp035]

airwolf ftw

[@GrammarLord01]

Next: Quantum Leap!

[@kerhst]

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? :)

[@andrependleton7242]

You always have and always will redefine metal music. Keep it up!

[@fodsaks]

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.

[@NovaHawk14]

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

[@crystalidentity]

@@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... 😿

[@Coty_Lee]

Rambo meets Metal

[@JoebooSauce]

PLEASE!!!!!! The Greatest American Hero, A-Team, and Knight Rider!!! You did wonders with this song!!! You rock!!!!

[@Holysnowva]

YES! Almost a year of suggesting this and here it is! Thank you so much!

[@MkRokudo]

I'LL SAVE THE WORLD WITH A SPOON !!! And a piece of wood...

[@myguydied]

And a bomb made from some play-doh dunked in a cup of ordinary coffee

[@Ultima_Atulos_Maxim]

LOL Don't forget the Duct Tape & Swiss Army Knife!

[@Hardyz209]

Patty and Selma like this.

[@GalderIncarnate]

One of the few things I remember about my dad is watching MacGyver with him every day. Those were the days.

[@muzzlevelocity2012]

I loved this show so much growing up. You've done a great job on this, thanks for sharing.

[@paganknight72]

Even Murdoc approves ! \m/ ;-)

[@rockypaquin8834]

He was so creepy in the original series.

[@mollymarsgal3377]

Macgyverrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

[@crystalidentity]

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.

[@Dowly]

On the 1st day, God created MACGYVER. Thanks Eric!

[@Dowlphin]

...And God didn't have much to work with. Naturally.

[@rockypaquin8834]

And it was Awsome!!

[@crystalidentity]

@@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?? 😅

[@heinzsaathoff2604]

Thank you so much for that. Love the theme and the series!!!!! Keep rockin'!!!

[@666Brago]

That was awesome. MacGyver was one of my favorite shows growing up and continues to be today.

[@MireWolf29]

SWAT Katz meets METAL

[@kevinortiz4755]

I agree with mirewolf. We need the Swat Kats

[@AireVocalGravityDZ]

Oh, that cartoon suddenly popped into my head.. Yeah, that song ruled!! Do it! :D

[@aelden.]

Season 2!

[@FlinckShinesOn]

definitely

[@transfan1988]

I know you get million requests per video but... Saber Rider, come on man, you know it would be awesome.

[@Dowlphin]

It might be a minor problem that it already kinda is metal. But yeah, Saber Rider meets More Metal! :-D

[@Aesculathehyena]

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!

[@jamesoakes6845]

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/

[@kingtuckashirtin]

RWBY meets metal! volume 2 is about to start!

[@KaNoMikoProductions]

Hey, pssst. Hey. Here's a little secret for ya: No ones cares about RWBY anymore.

[@Trash_prince]

Gavin, close your mouth

[@TheMerkWithTheMouth]

***** How about you shut your punk-ass mouth?

[@TonksMoriarty]

I gave up after the second episode.

[@AndrewTheEternal]

***** There is only one Queen Bitch of the Universe, and you are not her.

[@NoWhereToRun22]

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.

[@vegardhelleland5708]

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!

[@Schensue]

You could get a serious case of 90s poisoning from it. We're talking flannel shirts, flight jackets and Nike air sneakers here.

[@NoWhereToRun22]

Schensue I get 80s fever very easily. I don't think I want to have 90s poisoning. D:

[@NoWhereToRun22]

Vegard Helleland What about string?

[@spacemanandy2]

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.

[@killroyjr]

Great job. Watched this show as a kid years ago. Brought back lots of great memories.

[@unnamedagent]

i loved this show when i was younger this version of the theme just makes me wish they would do a modern show

[@jacksonlcf]

mission impossible meets metal pls:))

[@Dowlphin]

YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEES!!!

[@riccardajakob5466]

Yes !!!

[@CHR1SZ7]

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!

[@irbkhun]

DUCKTALES MEETS METAL!

[@talonsoftheraven6693]

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 !!!!

Quantum Leap Meets Metal!

[@danfors1333]

They should pay you to use this intro on their new reboot show.

[@damianson]

dear god the new show is bad

[@bhoward81]

I couldn't even sit through the entire first episode. Thankfully the Lethal Weapon series actually seems off to a good start though.

[@sportsygirl8]

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.

[@DanielC01000100]

Awesome!!! You rock as always!! I wish I had watched macGyver though :(

[@TheBookerSmith]

Ahhhh Yeahhhh! I remember requesting this a long time ago, and I was so excited to see it here! Thanks! :D

[@Intolerance404]

Fun fact. My brother is named after MacGyver. His name is Angus :D

[@kenshiromilesvt.7037]

“Angus, what a beautiful name” - Princess what’s her face from one of his crazy dreams lol

[@crystalidentity]

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'??).

"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Meets Metal" Do it for a sad brazilian guy as I am

[@MirkoPrometheus]

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!

Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!! Oh, wait. Wrong movie...

[@GawrGurasBathTubPizza]

it wasn't scraps dumbass, he literally was given crates of military material to build his shitty armour at least macgyver used real science to escape, not build a shitty robot suit
