High School Freshmen ROCK Master of Puppets at Talent Show

[@THECH33SYGUY]

i think yall did an amazing job not only on your cover of the song but the fact yall still got through some of the "where's the next part" i saw yall make eye contact. SUPER GOOD WORK. this song is kind of hard without the vocals. but everyone did great! i play this on drums all the time and its NOT an easy one! to the drummer: you did perfect. you held the backbone down even without a bassist. that's madddd hard to do. SOLOS WERE AWESOME guitarists!

[@Eclipseoffical27]

Gee Man, thanks so much! We were going to have a bass player but long story short, he could do it because the talent show director told him to go to a different act that need him more. The ending was the hardest part of the whole thing. again, Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[@toddr2961]

I'm 53. I've seen Metallica live before. You guys killed it!

[@Mark-db1ok]

​@@Eclipseoffical27Whaaa? The show director screwed you out of a bass player?? Nice... It'll serve you well in music if you are good at rolling with the punches like this. (I'm 51 and been playing gigs from the 90s right up through last night 🙂) Yall are really good and you did an excellent job here, especially on a long tune with no vocals. I LOVE seeing kids playing real instruments live like this, no matter what genre 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@426baron]

Well, deprived of a bassist to play Metallica... Your director was 90s-historicity minded.

[@joshuasmith-rr2bb]

What are they playing do you know is it a destroyer or a jackson an a Jackson Rhoads series of some type?

Reminds me of me lol

[@nongovernment3606]

I love seeing young bands who mess up many times and never stop they just correct and keep going and never gave up. When I was younger on my first live play I messed up lost my place could not hear where I was supposed to be. I was so mortified I quit the band mid song. My biggest regret in my life.

[@edwardtye4119]

I tried out a Big Band (2nd trumpet) in sixth form college (basically 13th grade, I think). It wasn't for me. Unlike you, I'm glad I didn't carry on with it lol

[@joelmacdonald6994]

Dude, I absolutely suck at guitar, so much so that I gave up. But I love the instrument and I understand a lot of the technical stuff, i just can’t play it. I’ve seen countless shows where a guitarist screws up, and I love how the professionals just carry on and make it work. The real pro’s just find a way to make it work, and it makes me respect their craft even more.

[@erichoncharenko6514]

Playing through mistakes is expected. Playing without passion is unexcusable. There's hope for this generation! 🤘

Find you a Vocalist Young Bucks!! Great job for Freshmen!! LOVE that Metallica is still relevant, I saw them at Monsters of Rock in 88 at The Silverdome in Detroit Mi. I met James and Kirk shook hands with James they had been tossing guitar picks from the Scaffolding platform in the middle of the arena floor I didn't get a pick as they were coming down to the main floor with security I ran up and shook hands told them they kicked AS*!! This was before And Justice dropped BUT they played ONE for us and I was BLOWN AWAY!!

[@mattasticmattattack8546]

I'm pretty sure Metallica saw this personally and said , " No , no , let them rock ..." , and removed the copyright

[@HarborSite-7]

Wow excellent job! You have some talent. That had to be difficult without half of your rhythm section and no vocalist. I'm 52 years old and grew up on this music. I've also played bass guitar for 40 years. So it really pleases me to see that the younger generation is interested in great musicians like Metallica. Keep on shredding! 🤟
