Heavy Metal Tribute to MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD

View fullsize

Guitarist Eric Calderone (aka 331Erock) is always posting rockin’ heavy metal versions of popular and classic theme songs. He has now released one for the classic children’s show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. As you’ll see, there’s a touching reverence and respect in his performance to the show and Mister Rogers. I love what he’s done with the theme in making the transformation to heavy metal.

"So I was thinking. There seriously has been a ton of things Mister Rogers said on TV when I was a kid that I still try and practice today. Literally one of my heroes to this day. And I didn’t realize it as a kid either but Johnny Costa (the pianist) improved the songs every show and absolutely shredded them haha. So I figured why not give Mister Roger’ tunes a shot."

Hi everyone! So I was thinking. There seriously has been a ton of things Mister Rogers said on TV when I was a kid that I still try and practice today. Literally one of my heroes to this day.
