Street Fighter II Meets Metal - Ken's Stage

#streetfighter #metal #guitar
Hi all!
Well, well, well. I did this tune 15 years ago.....what? Haha! For the longest time I didn't believe in "maturing" as a musician. It didn't make sense to me because in the moment, you don't think like that. Playing definitely is still the same in some senses but I can say I've become more tasteful (at least in my own opinion of myself). The reason I mention this is because I would have never thought I would progress and grow with all of you doing it too with me every week or so for 15 years. I appreciate you for life and still more to come. You rock my casbah,
Much love

Covered this song 15 years ago, thanks for being a part of it with me. Appreciate you for life.

[@yashvisuals1898]

❤

[@Reaper8989]

I remember watching it then. This remake is a stellar reprisal of your classic cover. I'm glad you're well and that you're on my feed again. Happy 2024, our old Internet friend. 😊

[@carnagemaster20]

15 years......damn im old lol

[@capcomfan82]

Thats what got me to sub to you lol the early game songs are classics

[@earthboundisawsome]

I feel like i vaguely remember that

[@AlfinirFGC]

I was there 15 years ago, since then i doubled my age, i've grown as a person, as a musician, and i must deeply thank you for being a part of it. I'd never be so fond of playing guitar without your videos. Today is my 31th birthday, and this is the best gift i could imagine

[@331Erock]

Happy Birthday!!!🎉 and thank YOU for being a part of it. This whole KZbin happening was based on one thing, for the love of music. I’m so glad to hear that I contributed in some small way on your journey ☺️☺️

[@zorbosis]

I remember when you uploaded the original and gotta say this one is *chef's kiss* amazing. Love all your covers!

[@quangtrinhle3498]

Wow, me too, I am also 31 years old, but I no longer play guitar but piano, oh how time passes, and still this theme inspires me as it once did.

[@lord_queso]

iFeliz cumpleaños mi amiga! Keep rocking

[@P0LYBiUS7]

Last video of his I remember seeing was back when he only had a Green Lantern tattoo... Now I remember why I subscribed back then. It's the smile. That damned smile. That look of a moments pure joy and bliss. Just a man taming his guitar, making it wail with the sound of a thousand sirens.

[@331Erock]

Music is a fun time. The best time!!! Appreciate you 🙏🏻☺️🙏🏻

[@fiddlebender88]

I saw this and thought "What? I'm sure he covered this already..." then it hit me that I was right and it was sooooo long ago. Thanks for all the great shredding throughout the years, Eric!!!

[@MorellioBenoir]

When I first saw this 15 years ago my eyeballs fucking exploded. Thanks for being awesome 331Erock.

[@Petra.666]

Terrific!!! Thx Eric, this is the epitome of a total package Killer riffs, an awesome axe, clear tones, your skills, all bundled in a powerful mix of superb metal. Truly epic, you absolutely nailed it! 🤘

[@LordPichuPal]

One of my favourite songs in all of Street Fighter, so good hearing another kick ass cover of it like this. Can never go wrong with the classics

[@Brimshae]

2:05 "WAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" *chef's kiss* Beautiful re-uh... cover? Has it really been 15 years? Amazing.

[@thedon_ofteflon4503]

Eric, I remember discovering your content when I was 17. Back then I hated how everything everyone liked was Top 40 related. Made me feel left out. As time went on I started giving less and less of a shit about what others conformed to and focused on what I truly loved. Good music and wonderful covers of it. Don't feel old when I say this Eric, but I'm 30 now and every now and then I still come back to your awesome videos and can see you've grown to be quite the success. Keep rocking the casbah man. Metal 4 Life! 🤘

[@331Erock]

Appreciate you 4 life my friend! 🙏🏻🥹🙏🏻

[@BoondockRoberts]

same grey in my beard watching you for 15 years. Thanks for keeping youtube metal all this time.

[@heyitsryooshi]

Huge fan of your original cover. You knocked this one out of the park as well, dude!

[@331Erock]

🤘🏼☺️☺️🤘🏼

[@vodeankandosii3982]

Has it really been 15 years? Here's to 15 more! Love your work as always!

[@nekkawaii]

I remember watching you when I was like, what, 7? 8 years old? Your videogame covers in old youtube were the GREATEST thing I'd heard at that point, I'll never forget them. A more innocent time for the platform where talented people like you were the standard... I miss that so much. It's just so cool to see you still around, rocking as always. You're a treasure, dude.

[@331Erock]

It was a great time for the tube, much more creator friendly. Thank you so much for being here 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@hristokralchev9959]

Just insane! Ken's theme has always been my favorite. Thank you, Eric. 🤟

[@331Erock]

It’s brutal 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@frigglefragglewaggit6923]

A fellow man of culture. Cheers.

[@dark___matter_]

Badass! I was listening to Seal’s ‘Don’t Cry’ earlier and thought to myself “it would be absolutely epic if Erock did a metal cover of this!” ❤😂

[@hunterthomas1644]

Can we get more OG street fighter metal?? This is rocktastic!

[@leo_8284]

Hello Erock, did you know you were the first ever KZbin channel I subscribed (on another account when I was a child listening to this cover and more!) And now I'm 23 and you still continue to make me happy with your covers ❤ Thanks for all !

[@331Erock]

Unbelievable 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@cheddarbob5847]

I'm a simple man. I see Ken's Theme. I click. Keep on rockin'!

[@anomittity]

MAN that sweep picking run you do @1:50 is head numbing goose pimpling AWESOME! Outstanding Performance dude!

[@331Erock]

🙏🏻🥹🥹🙏🏻

[@dickermannfilme_cora1717]

Dude reached the cap on Hairgroth, so he spawned a beard. Rock on!

[@MatSpeedle]

Legendary as always dude! Keep on Rocking! I'd love to hear you do a Super Hang-On 'Outride a crisis' metal cover one day. Perfect for your skills!

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

Slaps so hard! Big ups for all the inspiration, the videos, the music, for joining me on my own music ventures and being an all round lovely dude! Here's to many more years of music my friend!

[@331Erock]

Bless you my friend ❤️ you da man! Big congrats on getting tied down ☺️☺️

[@JhewwBhacca]

Grew up with this game and stage being my favorite. watched your 1st cover and now this one and still amaze me. Thank you for the nostalgia and bringing a smile back in difficult times.

[@NeuroAndrew]

I do really love it. So glad to listen to your covers! Let the metal never die 🤟

[@331Erock]

Never Die!!

[@andycasady1537]

Ngl I haven’t seen one of your videos in a long time, but man, it’s so good to see you. I loved super Mario brothers meets metal and we are number one but it’s metal the most.

[@bachjay88]

Thanks for all your hard work man. I've been following your work here for years and it's still banging. Rock on man!

[@331Erock]

🙏🏻🥹🥹🥹🙏🏻

[@faust8569]

Rock on nicely done

[@_Nephaelim]

Wow, has it really been 15 years? I remember subscribing to you in my so long ago. So much time has past since then, but it's good to see you still pumping out the good jams... dood!

[@manishmalakar6193]

I still listens to your meets metal covers!!

[@lambdatempest]

[@331Erock]

[@thatfabulousbastard114]

And onto my regular playlist you go. Fantastic as always.

[@331Erock]

🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Moshbearpig]

[@331Erock]

🤘🏼😬🤘🏼

[@atoms7]

Absolutely insane. One of my favorite video game themes of all time.

[@331Erock]

So killer!

[@azidahaka2]

Superb, just super play and arrangement!

[@TheGoldenBat]

Bro's getting grey on his beard, wow. I technically grew up with you, since I subbed to you in 2015. I'm also getting older, I have scene music video after music video of you turning these awesome themes into metal. Since let it go meets metal in 2015, I've been hooked and never stopped listening to your stuff man. I was really young when I listened to your videos, about 12 years old, I am now 21. The years man.

[@331Erock]

The years my friend. Thank you so much for sticking around….from literally kid to adult. That’s amazing!

[@TheGoldenBat]

@@331Erock No problem, Your pretty much what got me into metal, I have always heard metal as a kid, but it was never really recognizable to me. I have always wanted to know this one thing, was it the Saw theme that you did first? or Pirates of the Carribean.

[@331Erock]

@@TheGoldenBat pirates

[@TheGoldenBat]

@@331Erock oh ok, they confused me since you made them both as far back as 2013, ah the good ol days.

[@331Erock]

@@TheGoldenBat original one is 2009, the same with Saw. I’ve redone them both however in the last years

[@NeoSoulquarian]

Still doing it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘 I was listening to some shred and I thought of when I used to watch your videos. Super sick.

[@RobertBoche]

This never grows old. Awesome remake!

[@KillDozer44]

awesome as usual

[@mavericktitan7874]

Sublime!

[@iamunboss7296]

Just magnifique! I wait Zangief and Guile with impatience :)

[@lordbatair]

Damn, i discovered you more around 10 years ago, you're one of my first youtubers i listened and followed back then. Time fly but your smile is still here !

[@331Erock]

Appreciate you my friend. And it sure does ☺️☺️

[@LJ_Brooks27]

Freaking Awesome

[@Max-me5ju]

What a coincidence!! I revisited the video you had uploaded 15 years ago hoping that we you'll make it oncr more and I checked your channel I saw that you had uploaded it woah, sounds awesome good job mate

[@kevinmiller8985]

One of my favorite video game themes growing up as a kid. Amazing cover of the song, buddy.

[@danyhimura]

Moreeeeeeeeeee!! More stages plssssssss!!!! :D

[@markuslafargue1833]

His chops are so righteous...my face has been melted 🫠

[@carloscatano1750]

🤘Fantastic!

[@CBRN-115]

Godamn I love this

[@lucianoneto6574]

The result is pleasant, much more competently surpassing the previous one from 15 years ago haha! You've improved a lot... And about your great Playlist "Classic Black Metal" is a masterpiece, keep it up, I really liked your adaptation of the Black Metal theme. By the way, have you ever heard Batushka? (Liturgy - Panihida)

[@Drachenhannes]

Just saw this pop up. So i grabbed my headphones, volume to max and am having the most nostalgic great time!

[@Gutigwolfe]

Lot's of channels I haven't seen before just popping up. Love the music.

[@biohazard724]

I remember stumbling across your original cover of this back when street fighter _4_ was making waves

[@331Erock]

Omg 😂😂 crazy right!?

[@PreceptorGrant]

Dude! Streetfighter II was a good chunk of the reason I dropped out of uni the first time..... This vid was an unexpected and welcome blast of early 90s nostalgia :)

[@331Erock]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@gasgano5587]

Mannn i used to watch your video 10 years ago... Glad to see you're still around here. Beard looks nice :) Keep the good work

[@mrquackadoodlemoo]

You should start a series where you replay songs you covered a decade ago for a then/now comparison. It'd bring in the nostalgia and show how much you've grown as a guitarist.

[@331Erock]

I like this a lot! Almost an aging experiment

[@brpadington]

Great job! Also I love the finish on that guitar. Still remember seeing Jackson and Charvel ads with that same finish and wanting one.

[@TheCreepypro]

nice to hear this classic of vgm be played by such a master guitarist!

[@fredvetter1983]

I love it man! Everything here is just perfect! Horns high! \m/

[@thunderthunder6568]

I've been trying to play this tune for a while. BIG THANK YOU for filming this the way you did because I can clearly see your finger action and it'll surely help me out immensely. Thanks!!!

[@CUTZsWheels]

Ufff. De lujo. Excelente 👍🏼

[@FelipeAnargyrou]

Nice t-shirt!!! Paladin turned into one of my favourite bands !!! 🤘Ascencion is a huge album, I listen to that shit back to back almost every day

[@redmage8719]

Big ups to you, sir.😊

[@jsleeio]

Sensational.

[@OrenZar]

Got a serious 90s flashback, thank you so much for this! :)

[@sambagatin7100]

You sir just gained a loyal follower. And this song is going on repeat for a little while :)

[@EnjoylThelSilence]

this kind of metal reminds me of one Russian old heavy metal band Aria, which i was mesmerized for years. this cover of SF2 track was pure joy to listen, such a melody rich reward for ears. theres a lot of good tehnical guitarists in this modern times, but this guy is one of very few that made every melody to have a soul and tell the story. pure guitar prodigy

[@331Erock]

[@anthonykneipiii4562]

🤘😈🤘 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Absolutely awesome!!!!!

[@TrekZero]

Yea was my first Video I found from you. Damm I was in my Mid 20s that time... Time flys by.

[@331Erock]

I didn’t believe it when people said it but it does, it really does.

[@ulrichartwork]

I've been following your channel since the first videos, and you've always been one of my favorites. Long live metal!

[@svartfrasr9755]

Perfect!

[@pumas.5731]

Your getting grey, was watching your videos when i was younger (10 + years ago) and you inspired me for learning guitar, thanks for that and thanks for keep doing your stuff, much love for you mate

[@BaaadJuju]

I was shocked to see you in my feed In my head I was sayin “Damn, he’s still grinding?” Good work man, love your videos!

[@3lgring0]

It's been years since I last played SF2. After yearing this I rebooted my old PS2 just to play it again.

[@kingmultichaos1505]

i would love to see a Metal version of "Guile's" theme. Nice job!

[@tenzhitihsien888]

Been awhile since I saw one of his videos pop up in my feed. Seeing 331Erock going grey really makes ME feel old.

[@callofgears91]

Man sometimes I forget how good SF II soundtrack is, thanks for reminding me!

[@WSAnderson]

I saw this pop up and I was like... I know he did this before, its one of my favorites... wha? Love the description here and the audience has grown along with you. Still love this SF2 version. And... somehow 15 years later we both have more gray.

[@331Erock]

Haha as the hourglass runs, the gray appears. Thanks for being here my friend!

[@MarieSvoboda]

Beautiful!

[@Mr.Sinister420]
