Chrono Trigger Meets Metal

Hey guys,
So, haha, a request I've been getting for years now. I was very weary about doing this one because I love Chrono Trigger and all the music that went with it. Very hard to narrow it down to just "some" themes and make a medley out of them. You guys totally helped on Facebook though, so big ups for that. And a huge thanks for everything else. It means the entire world. Big ups for all the suggestions, comments, subs, messages, donations, fan art, and support. You guy ALWAYS rock the casbah. ALWAYS!
Best to ya

worlds most subtle rick roll have this mp3 on my phone listened to it many times and only just noticed it.. congrats eric you rick rolled me for months and i had no clue

[@MyJtman]

Actually. You didn't. The hilarious thing is, in game, a character named Robo that theme that sounds like Rickrolling. They were written around the same time and no one knew of the other. Just a crazy coincidence.

[@varti546]

Kazo the Hedgehog He did get Rick Roll'd - 331Erock switched fragment of Robo Theme with one werse of Never Gonna Let You Down, because they are known for sounding very simmilar.

[@sologamer3122]

Worth it.

[@kingkeefage]

Lost it when I saw Rick Astley. I was thinking, "That sounds like 'Never Gonna Give You Up'." Then, the fucker pops up outta nowhere. Best RickRoll EVER. RickRoll by ErockRoll.

[@Firstone33]

I Know I Saw that And Had to Laugh. Robo's Theme Is Partly Based Off The Song. We got Rickrolled Literally! Lol

[@christophercartagena4170]

RIP Akira Toriyama, I immediately recalled this badass mix when I got the news and everything hits twice as heavy. Thanks Erock.

Good lord has it truly been that long?? I swear it feels like around 2019 or so I got a notification on my phone that this song dropped.

[@thaloh]

0:00 - Starting off with Schala's theme.... 1:23 - .... and blending in Zeal Kingdom's theme. Fabulous! 2:26 - Frog's theme. I like it best on acoustic, but this sounds great. 3:16 - Robo's theme is so damn groovy. 4:01 - *spits out drink* 4:14 - 600 AD world theme 5:04 - LAVOS! 5:32 - the timeless theme we all know and love

He must be using a rainbow shell pick, by the gods I love this!

Well done, sir! Is it the pick, or the guitar made from the rainbow shell, though? Or..perhaps...both? His playing level is definitely two stars!

[@jenexx99]

your all getting it wrong, the pick is made of sun stone , and the guitar is made of a sun stone/rainbow shell alloy, the same one used in the rainbow sword

Only his music can lower Magus defense.

[@jammamammaa]

Your smiling throughout the video is exactly how I'd react if I knew how to play these songs on guitar. You did a fan-fucking-tastic job converting these songs to metal; you didn't compromise the integrity of any song, you just know the mechanics of metal well enough to rewrite all of these songs for it. I can't compliment you enough, this is an incredible piece of work that I expected to dislike, but since it was done by someone competent and obviously very talented, I was forced to love it.

[@DoctorVic]

You should check out his other work too, he honestly can turn any song into a metal masterpiece. This video was what made me subscribe, and I am very pleased I did so.

[@Tyrano317]

I heard him the first time today and I cant stop listening to his songs! This guy is so awesome and seems to have so much fun with his hobby. This man rocks!

Same. Im usually not even a metal fan, but Erock is now in my top 5 bands/artists of all time.

[@matthewcook9531]

Can you have like reverse PTSD, where all the good thoughts and images come flowing back? Holy shit this was incredible. I still play CT to this day, every now and again (that and Earthbound), and I have never heard a better tribute. Simply amazing.

[@NeoSigma18]

Yasunori Mitsuda composed the majority of the soundtrack for Chrono Trigger, until he got stomach ulcers. Afterwards, Nobuo Uematsu finished scoring it, adding ten tracks of his own composition. Noriko Matsueda chipped in by composing "Boss Battle 1", which Uematsu arranged after it was finished.

[@jeffreyp1855]

[@ThePrecious70]

Ah very cool, I thought I heard Uematsu in much of it.

Edit: yo I'm back again, it's been 3 years since this original comment (which was also me coming back after a couple of years). In summation, I think it's been like 5-6+ years since I saw this video for the first time. Anyway, I've been going back over some old stuff. Felt kind depressed so went back in time and played Chrono Trigger again. Feel better now. Be strong, all. And I highly recommend HeartSupport for good mental health stuff. They were founded by Jake Luhrs from August Burns Red (absolutely awesome dude, in addition to killer vocals for ABR). Anyway, love this community. Be safe.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Do your version of Crono's Theme. The whole song is amazing, Schala's song is an incredible buildup, Zeal's Theme fits right after it. You are a hell of a musician, and I thoroughly enjoy your work. But 5:28 is god damn magic and I would love to see you give it more attention. The first time I heard that transition into Crono's Theme I yelled "OH SHIT!" and felt like a kid with a SNES controller in my hand all over. I hear so much potential, and it would be fucking majestic to hear Crono's Theme get a little more love.

[@zennvirus7980]

Seven years it's been since I heard this sublime arrange for the first time, and it's still as good as it was back then. The thing I loved back then and I still love now about this arrange is the fact that practically all the songs in here, with the exception of Robo's theme, are the tracks that play at the most momentous events of the game: -Schala's Theme: when you are about to open the door to Zeal's throne room and really get into the best damn part of the story. -Corridors of Time: arguably the most beautiful piece in Chrono Trigger, the theme that welcomes you into what remains to this day as one of my favorite fantastic lands ever showcased in a game. -Frog's Theme: the heroic march that embodies the badass amphibian who lost all, including his humanity, but retained his soul and sharpened it to turn it into the blade of a true Hero (that mountain splitting, man!!). -Robo's Theme: the weaker link in the bunch (IMO), honestly, I don't know which track would have been a good connector between Frog's theme and... -600 A.D.: The song that screams "middle ages", the best way to tell you that, indeed, you have just traveled through time, into the prologue of the greatest game ever. -Regular badass metal transition by this inspired fellow: just what you need as a proper transition to... -World Revolution: THE theme that truly conveys just how far you have come in this timeless roller coaster of a tale, right in front of the World Devourer, Lavos himself! Paving the way for... -Chrono Trigger: the track, the myth, the legend. That is how you make an intro! That is how you END and intro! And the best way to end a song. ERock, thanks man.
