High School Freshmen ROCK Master of Puppets at Talent Show

Our First show AND WE OPENED THE DAMN THING
Also thats my Drum set, we just changed the name of the band, we might change it again soon!
I wish you could hear the double kick
We got 3rd place!
We do not own this song, Metallica does, thankfully, the copyright has been removed

[@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.

[@JamesJohnson-tj9pv]

I'm 58 and it blows my mind to see kids play my generations music!

[@Ryan-yz1tf]

There’s so many from this generation still jamming to Metallica. Truly timeless music

[@sxymike12]

Kills me that this music is so successful but the industry doesn’t want to bring in new talent who play this genera of music.

[@rickyweeks9144]

Same here!

[@ElderRaven]

sir that is because those kids were raised right lol

[@bvrsqzr3569]

That's because the music is actually good.

[@eyefly001]

this is the and justice for all version!

😂

[@kevinb3307]

Lol, dont show Newsted this

[@eze8024]

You mean "adjustments for Lars", right?

[@judaspriestfan]

@@eze8024this might be the funniest thing ive ever read

[@666Wizardsleeve]

LOL

[@MrBbadger62]

I'm 61yrs old and I'm an old metal head at heart. Y'all killed it❤

[@pelicanine]

You guys are INSANE, especially with no vocalist. Seriously, as a fellow metal guitarist, you guys absolutely slayed it. WELL DONE

[@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.

[@muratbelgin815]

The audience sings along and their voices are heard.💯💢🤘🤘

[@Doo0415gaming]

No

[@jjhhhh1849]

Did we watch the same video

[@THEOPINIONATEDSPORTSMAN]

This too is REAL education. Teaching kids how to not be afraid to stick their necks out, not to be shy, working together, and most of have fun. Love this!❤

[@malinaaa13]

cant believe we won 3rd place !! 🤘🔥

[@jurgen3926]

What were 2nd and 1st place?

[@Eclipseoffical27]

@jurgen3926 a pianist one second and a dance troop at no.1

[@benni6901]

Should have been first place ❤️‍🔥

[@September11th.]

Bet those teachers were haters

[@lluks8945]

Would of won first place if you did a taylor swift song. Such a sad generation today. You guys rock.

[@walterswanson59]

Killed it! Had a buddy in high school who was dumb as a brick but could play every song Metallica and Guns N Roses put out. This took me back. The guys would be proud. Hope they see this.

[@Spells1]

Reminds me of me lol

[@stormi2913]

the glare off the guitar at the end was crazy

[@jacobylott7333]

Imagine Metallica showed up in the comments section, we need them @Metallica #Metallica

[@gowokegobrokee]

There’s hope for the young generations still!

[@AandB1998]

Being from that generation I like many others agree that you killed this. Imagine 30 years from now 3-4 high school teenagers are playing your band’s song at their talent show. Never say die! You’re close, don’t ever quit! Never give up on you!!!

[@rossdevin9799]

52 and it just amazes me to see such a young generation listen and play the music I grew up with. Just goes to show everyone how amazing Metallica truly is. These guys did an awesome job.

[@roxygidz3428]

haha yeah music is timeless

[@Jimmietwotimes]

Great job, guys! I was in your shoes back in the day and realize all the emotions and nerves that go into that first show, especially in front of an official assembly at school. My hat's off to you!

[@malinaaa13]

Thank you for your support! It was definitely a nerve-wracking experience for me especially haha

[@AcesDwn1]

I'm BLOWN away.. Not only did you play a VERY hard song, but did it with style! I've been playing Metallica for years, and you bunch did in some spots better than I can. I saw some miscues and mistakes, but the way you all had the team thing going, it was just looking at each other and then BANG! Right back on pace.. Show must go on, and you 3 did it PERFECTLY!! My hats off to you ALL!! Amazing!

[@franklharbin]

I LOVE seeing a group of friends get together, jam out, have the time of their lives, and in the end entertain the whole crowd. Keep playing, this gives me hope that the bubble gum pop crap that is forces on us by the radio stations will one day be pushed out with actual rock music again!

[@NxNWhiskey]

Making this old metal head smile and cry all at once.

[@jasperbates6760]

They all did a super job playing. Tight group. They seemed comfortable playing together. I really liked the "speed" of that lead section played on that destroyer. That was impressive.

[@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! 🤟

[@wilE6764]

The young generation loves this stuff its real music not computer generated crap!

[@HarborSite-7]

@@wilE6764 Well I would like to think so. But so many people are into stuff like EDM which is really nothing more than computer generated noise, as you alluded to.

Damn awesome! Hope these guys continue playing music !!

[@jiujitsu290]

I'm 50 been a fan of James Lars and Kirk since the ninth grade ,I never heard a tribute quite that solid before and I bet if the band sees this they will smile...

[@txyakangler65]

Thats how all the greats started. Best of Luck

[@waynesmith6325]

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!!

[@pdinardo9472]

You guys did a great job. Rocking!! Master of Puppets.

Played on a jr hockey team in the early 90's....we were known to just punch other teams out....we'd come on the ice to Orion, with most of the lights out on the rink...had to be intimidating. The good ole days, life will never be the same.

You guys crushed it. When I was in high school (30+ years ago) a band played For Whom the Bell Tolls at the talent show. All the metalheads (we called em Hammers back then) in the audience started a little mosh pit. All the teachers came running in like they had to break up a fight. Surprised the cops didn't show up.

[@creeper098]

Awesome!. Thanks for sharing.

[@SterlingCaporale]

Oh Helllya!!! Love these kids

[@robb3931]

Not bloody bad for having no bass guitar playing along. Great work Guys..🎉
