Our good friend, Mr Erik Rutan discusses his well-loved black BC Rich Ironbird which he used for many classic and legendary recordings and performances over the years.
Only person that can fill in for Pat. He was Absaloutly amazing. Nailed all of pats solos. And hes the nicest guy! Amazing guitarist. Been a fan of hate eternal for a long time.
Considering how ingrained he is in Cannibal Corpse’s history it’s fitting that he’s now officially a member. I wish the best for Pat, but CC is definitely in good hands with Erik on board.
@@raymondmurillo I would have LOVED to see him with Morbid Angel. Cannibal was part of the Slayer farewell tour...they were only on for about 20 to 25 mins...pissed me off...I would have shaved off 15 mins each from Lamb of God and Amon Amarth for more Cannibal. Cheers.
I clearly remember watching Hate Eternal on the I Monarch tour in a super small club Where Eric was like at an arms length playing this very same guitar. That was one hell of a show my neck hurt for a week.
If there was any person I'd like to meet it'd be Erik, he just seems like a genuine type of guy, I'd love to shake his hand and tell him how much he's changed my guitar playing lately
That's awesome, you're so lucky, he'd be a wealth of knowledge and just a cool dude to be around, I'd so be geeking out on gear and riffs if we met lol Thank for the reply 🤘
I have two Ironbirds. One is an ultra rare NAMM prototype Ironbird Pro NT black with red bevels. The other is a black Ironbird Platinum I modded by swapping the BDSM's for a pair of Seymour Duncan Invaders with black poles and I swapped the chrome machine heads for black Tune-O-Matic machine heads and the chrome stock bridge for a black Gotoh bridge. Black volume and tone knobs replaced the stock chrome ones. It looks way killer. I love Ironbirds. I want to add more of them to my gear arsenal. Sickest metal axes ever made. Hate Eternal and Nile are the greatest
Cleansed_In_Pestilence _ - Erik was first exposed to the Dirty Fingers while working on Tombs "The Grand Annihilation" in 2017. I installed one in his main red Ironbird shortly after.
Hi Erik! That Ironbird that you used for king of all kings? Was it this one? The red one with the EMG? wallpaper.metalship.org/images/hate-eternal12.jpg
No, that one is still around, it belongs to someone on the BC Rich Junkies forum. I'm pretty sure he meant the red reverse headstock one he had during the KoaK era.
