Bach Meets Metal - Solfeggietto

Not that Bach ;) One of the sons. However, this song is literally one of the first songs I ever loved. It rips. My parents had bought me an educational game back in the day called Treasure Mountain where you solved problems and all that. This was the theme. The force is strong in the Bach family.
Love you all. Thanks for everything.

You just prove that classical music was made to be metal.

[@ikitclaw7146]

Alot of metal is derived from classical or atleast influenced by it, so it would make sense that Classical can be metal.

[@andrewolson5471]

Some classical music *is* metal, they just didn't know it at the time.

[@NOMOMOMOMOMOM]

@@ikitclaw7146 I can't remember which song, but one of the bodom songs specifically has a small lick from Bach, I think the nail?

[@DarkOracleOfDeath]

I always said that classical music is just metal before they had electric instruments.

[@hygog]

especially baroque

[@rhodridavies9426]

There is definitely something about baroque keyboard music that really works in a metal guitar context! MOAR PLEASE!!!!! 😀

[@84SuperBeast]

i read that as barbeque instead of baroque and now i'm curious what barbeque keyboard music sounds like.

[@GaneshGunaji]

Children of Bodom used this to great effect in their music.

[@ghoulwiz]

And Running Wild, particularly in their first albums

[@331Erock]

Not that Bach ;)

[@Moros666420]

Underrated comment

[@hygog]

which one? skid row’s?

[@timshred1255]

I'll be bach

[@quercusquercus532]

I was so stoked when Globe and Mail's Fraser Simpson had "Bach" in a cryptic crossword, and it was Sebastian. Wish I remembered the details. Shoulda kept that puzzle. Can-Con! This was an instant repeat, thanks yet again Erock!

[@lew526]

There is another?!

[@stevedergamer5322]

Classic is the metal of the renaissance 😎

[@CR0SBO]

Rock out with your Bach out

[@BigAl72ZGE]

This music was written 200 years after the renaissance ended.

[@stevedergamer5322]

@@BigAl72ZGE Stop nitpicking 😂

[@PeregrineBF]

@@BigAl72ZGE And in the Baroque period, which is arguably rather different from the later common practice classical period.

[@rayryeng]

Man, this has Castlevania vibes - just imagining Trevor Belmont facing off against Dracula to this. Great work!

[@alaaobaid3363]

As a lover of Baroque and Metal, I find this very beautiful, however, nothing is more metal than Vivaldi specially compositions that are not from the Four Seasons, his Lestro Harmonico or Opus 3 , are so amazing that JS Bach transcribed about 6 of the pieces

[@DarthTwilight]

I remember your early years on youtube. You have improved so drastically it's amazing

[@Draken0023]

Damnit, someone hacked Eric’s account. The video that was just posted is not his. Please don’t unsubscribe; he will get it back eventually. Good luck, Eric! 🍀

[@iPhoneeditor]

Classical has always felt to me like it was the metal of it's time. The fact that it translates so well I think further supports that. Well done!

[@karelfinn2343]

Holy crap, I was going to leave a comment about how this song was in a computer game I played as a kid, but then I read the description and saw that you beat me to it. Treasure Mountain FTW!

[@superhunk1989]

Such a super epic guitar cover. I feel my adrenaline rushing through my veins.

[@lucasarneiro]

Wow! This song appears in the intro of the song The Damnation Game by Symphony X. Now i found where it came from!!! Hahaha 🧐

[@Theodax1]

This 'neo-classical' classical masterpiece just goes to prove that the great composers were TOTAL HEADBANGERS!!! Love the crisp, clean, classy guitar work on display here! Wonderful as always!

[@SomeGuy_GRM]

There's a surprising amount of crossover between metal fans and classical fans.

[@88deeas]

I love Baroque classical music and metal. This is a full package for me. Thank you

[@PreceptorGrant]

I always love your metallised classical pieces :) Still hoping you'll find the courage to do an arrangement of Toccata & Fugue in D Minor, I can't help but think that piece was practically written for your attention.

[@drummascooterman]

Speaking of Bach being metal, the Harpsichord Concerto in D minor is metal as HELL. In fact, Allegaeon (A technical melo-death band) recorded an EP with a cover of it, you should check it out.

[@digitaljanus]

@@drummascooterman Damn, that's beautiful, thanks for the recommendation! I used to use J.S. Bach's "Little" Fugue in G Minor for organ as a bass guitar warm-up, but I never got to Allegaeon levels that's for sure!

[@yoltoor6281]

He did it

[@PreceptorGrant]

@@yoltoor6281 I know, I was onto that video like a shot when it went up lol. I was not disappointed!

[@zduke]

When you love metal and your first thought upon seeing the title is still "It's Bach, you don't need another reason to listen to it."

[@MichelleWalton421]

You NAILED IT! Everything I've heard you do over the years is exceptional 🤘

[@saku0207]

I follow you for years now and really enjoy your music but this is a masterpiece 👏

[@klchu]

This is my favorite kind of cover! Classical and metal have always been an odd pair, but they really go well together.

[@Zeph_918]

Sounds like the final boss fight of a Final Fantasy game. Awesome!

[@netillothepianoguy43]

Bro you’re awesome 😅 I’ve been watching your videos for years…. You Rock !

[@Petra.666]

Really crazy, Eric, how you come out with such amazing covers! It's irresistible. Love it! You are a true legend.... damn good job! Always team Erock! 🖤🤘😊

[@underwoodvoice9077]

[@zerobandwidth]

"If it's baroque, don't fix it" - just make it METAL 🤘

[@djwiggles9579]

I see what you did there and I like it!

[@hygog]

just add drum and play on guitar

[@TerraverseCo]

When I heard At Vance's version, I thought it was excellent. Now that I hear this. I think this is just as excellent. Well done!

[@marieanett2222]

Classical+metal= beautiful ❤️

[@LostSoulSilver]

Classical music isn't boring. It just needs a good set of drums

[@siennandguitar1385]

Yeah man!!! Great performance playing metal😮🔥🔥🔥🎸

[@ritualdeathmetal]

Children Of Bodom vibes ofc

[@veteranironoutdoors8320]

I loved when you did moonlight sonata a long ways back. Always wanted you to do hungrian rhapsody #2 but that would be asking quite a lot

[@MediocreHexPeddler]

Fastest way to get a metal artist to play something is to tell them it can't be done :]

[@mrsanity]

@@MediocreHexPeddler Liszt's own favourite tactic to get musicians to play his works. He DID do his best to make his pieces as close to impossible as they could be though ::)

[@GaneshGunaji]

This is fantastic. Strong COB vibes. Alexi Laiho would be proud of you man.

[@dragan4658]

I've been waiting for a new video and Voila! It's always a treat when Eric plays!

[@zarahmb1711]

Großartig, I love it!!! I bet, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach would have loved it also!

[@ADHDWOOHOO]

Fuck. This has old-school Children of Bodom vibe. I love it.

[@itatane]

Bravo! I wonder how working it into an orchestral work would pan out? I have always loved Karl Richter's rendition of Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Makes me wonder what metal guitar, harpsichord, and traditional strings would sound like... I reckon it would require one heck of an arranger.

[@pampitopampiti6898]

I couldn't breathe for three minutes .... wow. Bravissimo.
