Pirates of the Caribbean by Hans Zimmer Meets Metal

***Streaming Concert August 23, 2015: www.worldmeetsmetal.com

[@marcinmcula99]

I don't think I've ever seen this level of dedication. 14 years and almost 600 videos of consistently great guitar playing. That's inspiring

[@selimeylul8292]

0:00 a guitar god was born.

[@MateusDrake]

***** That's not when he was born as person, but as a legend, as a myth, as a new guitar god. At least to the world.

[@peach1205]

***** You're not very bright are you?

[@jtdovakiin9873]

+Selim Eylül he is not a god, but he is definitely talented

[@zc630]

I vote for a new video of this song, just for the higher quality sound that his newer videos have.

[@MuratAktan99]

zc630 And there you have it :)

Watching this in 2015 ❤️

first time I ever seen any of his videos, this guy is crazy good!

[@shredded__ham]

And thus.... A legend was born!

[@Playmikesux]

Didn't think this song could get more epic It did

[@suomisolider32]

He can have my rum and jar of dirt if he wants

[@Playmikesux]

Suomi Solider Laughed way too hard man

[@thegothamcityqueen]

Suomi Solider Damn Internet... For a second I thought that you should have said "he can has..":D

[@suomisolider32]

thegothamcityqueen Maybe i should change it that way?

[@thegothamcityqueen]

Suomi Solider Yes, definitely. It would make more sense to the people of internet.

[@willowm8283]

this video, right here, this comment section is where it all started for erock. I think that's really cool. He says that he originally didn't want to post a video of himself, but what he got addicted to was the comments. And I have to say, today more than ever, the comment section on Erock's videos are nearly always so lighthearted and awesome, and it shows the wonderful relationship between Erock and us fans. Unlike most of KZbin, Erock's channel is a really special place that always inspires me to run and grab my guitar and shred till my fingers bleed. Which is what I'm gonna go do now....... after I finish this bowl......

[@TheAlabasterdeplume]

I agree. Its so refreshing to see the power of Metal bringing people together. Erock always looks so happy whilst he is shreddin' which is how it should be. Metal makes me happy. \M/

[@willowm8283]

right on, you said it man. metal unites people, it makes me smile and jam out even in the darkest of times

[@erlima5]

Zach Midulla unlike most comment sections on youtube i see nothing but people in awe by this shear metal power. It goes to show metal in the right hands will make anything better

[@kylermiller659]

I vibe with this

[@kainshannarra2451]

@@erlima5 it's because metal is what self-empowerment sounds like :{)

[@onim26]

this is one OLD video

Yeah! He looks so young

Shut up, potatos does'n talk

Was this back when you were his camera?

[@SharkByteOfficial]

Yo ho, yo ho... It's a metal life for me!

[@LynxBoss22]

Same😂

[@nancycuddlekitten1015]

love this xD

[@Dowlphin]

When I saw how Eric's long hair kept getting in the way, I suddenly thought: *You know you have become a metal god when you can use your hair for guitar strings.*

[@joeseth05]

Fun fact: did you know that strings on violin, celli and other strings' bows are made out of hairs from horse tails?

[@Dowlphin]

joeseth05 They must be quite temperature-sensitive then, because horse hairs were also used in hygrometers. I'd assume that these days they'd use superior materials.

[@joeseth05]

Dᴏᴡʟᴘʜɪɴ Indeed, they re very temperature sensitive, but strings' bows still use horse hairs these days, because they sound superior!

[@MsXizan]

Dᴏᴡʟᴘʜɪɴ Hygrometers are used to measure HUMIDITY, not TEMPERATURE....

[@Dowlphin]

Angela Roquemore True. It was more a general mentioning of the sensitivity of natural materials. Horse hair might still be affected to a minor degree that is only relevant for music, not sure. Definitely nowhere near as much as humidity, otherwise it couldn't be used reliably for hygrometers.

[@altalena9139]

You should do a 2016 version of a PotC medley! Anyone else waiting for PotC 5?

[@McCarlSpeed]

this.

Make a New Version of this awesome song ! :)

[@QuercusPrime]

Finding this video five years later to the day. He was already good at this point and has only become better as the years go on.

[@faysalboughanem5869]

watching this in April 2016, 0.00 the birth of a legend

[@moedbz]

hell yeah

[@Painfulsigh]

you need to do a song with frog leap studios. both of you are amazing

[@Laurturen]

+Painfulsigh Have you heard Frog Leap's metal cover of Feel Good Inc? I loved it!

[@Painfulsigh]

+Laurturen I have. I watch a play list of all his stuff while at work. He's rather awesome. That's why I think they would work well together

[@ohhonpohho]

You should do a remake of this for better sound quality! But it's still awesome :)

[@agent6959]

14 years later, in my recomendeds once again. oh happy day!!

[@kennethmcfarlane7608]

Just re-watching this thinking back to when I first heard it 5 years ago. You've come a LONG way brother and are still going strong. Keep it coming!

[@koekiejam18]

He doesnt smile here What is this

[@kprzeta93]

Because he's facing the other side in this video so he's not alligned with Earth's magnetic spin.

[@alehix]

He does smile just not as often

[@miraak542]

The planetary magnetic field was disrupted by how utterly Metal this was. Reality was distorted. You just thought he didn't smile.

[@cloudstrife5174]

Tony Stark also not smile so often. But Tony always have the best jokes! xD and yeah He's a Metal Pirate and Pirates dont smile so much.

[@Maldracai]

He looks like he's concentrating more here. If you check his videos from this one onwards, you can steadily see he starts smiling more and more. 2009 - Concentrating 2017 - FUCK YEAH! *closes eyes, headbangs and spins the guitar while still playing*

[@Certifiable]

Holy shit, where did 7 years go?!

[@DuckHunterForHire]

0:25 that little hair flip and his smile! You know, erock, you know you are FABULOUS!

[@adstoney]

I've been going through your uploads from newest to oldest for a couple of days and now i've reached the end and your first video. Thankyou so much for sharing your talent on youtube. Now I will look forward to future uploads!

[@ZorkFox]

I can't believe I didn't know you existed until today. Now I *live* for that wink.

Been a fan of his for ages but never thought to look back this far until now. He hasn't changed a bit! Same hair flicking, same smile. He should be a star and more importantly he would never sell out I'm sure.

Do metal pirates sail in schooners made of demon bone and flesh on a sea of mercury? Or do they sail in spiked metal galleons on a sea of fire?

[@karlforsback5096]

The first one.

[@glockenspeal]

probably ironclads

[@dsvet]

They sail on Iowa class Battleships!

[@mardiversteegh5354]

Man O' War bitches

[@BrianPaone]

They don't sail. They stride upon the surface as the towering, fearful legends they are, heeding not the laws of physics, nor even space-time itself. They are unstoppable Armageddons. Chaos incarnate. The electric end of days.

[@x9016]

Love it, this guy is making a lot of people smile. Keep it comming.

[@AceOThorns]

Ever in awe. Incredible stuff!

[@weepingangel5605]

Dude you've got to re-record this so we can hear the full epicness of your skillz! Sounds like this was from a different mic than your other. Still bloody ****ing AWESOME!!

[@taylordeakin563]

man i hope you go somewhere with your talent.. i just found your channel like 45 minutes ago and my ears i just blessed by your tunes man. covers of great orchestrated songs from many different genres,. like i said i hope you go somewhere with ur talent man. if you haven't already, this is an old video. good shit man. :D and if you ever have a concert near the GTA AREA ( Toronto, Ontario Canada ) i would pay $$$$$ to watch you and your band.

Guys calm down, he's not ambidextrous....he has been mirrored...either that or he likes having posters with iron maiden written backwards on them xD

Boy, you are my hero ! *-* It's just amazing, we can see the passion in your eyes. You have a big talent !

[@DragonNebula42]

i can very much appreciate that you are ambidextrous in your guitar playing.

[@lucaspayne994]

Okay so I used to be one of those people that thought metal was for devil worshipers (crazy right?!) My friend Jackson, he's obsessed with heavy metal and rock, kept getting mad at me for kissing metal. He turned me to Erick's Doctor Who meets metal, huge whovian btw, and I got addicted to heavy guitar and drum songs and Erick is also one of my favorite people to turn to for amazing songs while I'm doing my homework. He's absolutely amazing and I couldn't thank him enough for his amazing talent. And be always looks so happy while he's shredding and it makes me happy :D

[@hifflesnifflepus4417]

It's been mirrored

[@Saimeren]

You don't know that. He could just be that good.

[@jamiejackson9125]

***** Also the Iron Maiden poster in the background is backwards. unless there's a band called Nediam Nori.

why does he play lefthanded in this one

[@TheColourExplore]

He flipped his early videos for some reason. I'm assuming to avoid copyright on the posters maybe? I'm not sure but it's defintely a flipped video, not him playing left handed.

[@alexweaver3969]
