That one day when school didn't suck.

Brendan Spraggs thanks man! nothing metal, but I am playing in a band called Ear Ringers, based in East Los Angeles. You can find us on any streaming platform 🙏🏼

[@nickmaille5951]

Holy wars is no easy song. These guys are dope.

[@jimmythundarrsdrumcoverser492]

That the drummer plays this on a single bass drum and makes it sound pretty accurate is impressive!

[@chicanochops]

The result of having only shitty single pedals to play on growing up lol thank you 🙏🏼

[@jimmythundarrsdrumcoverser492]

@@chicanochops Nice work....I used to play double bassuntil I lost my left leg,so now Im back to single bass and three high hats set up so I can play them. I did holy Wars last year over a drumless track...check out some of my others! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYDYcqCVp9agitk

[@dominikweber4305]

Pretty??

[@scarcheer7211]

I agree! I would definitely have to have double bass.

Holy shit... he doesn't even have a double pedal on his bass. Props.

And only a year out!

[@leons.kennedy1571]

I was shocked when the vocals came in, his voice definitely fits perfectly. Super solid performance by everyone honestly. I was even more shocked when Bullet in the Head started being played. Did not expect that at all. Megadeth and RATM are two of my favorite bands ever.

[@chicanochops]

Thanks man 🤝 glad you enjoyed it

[@jasperdevries1726]

I'm sure the late Nick Menza would have enjoyed this.

[@chicanochops]

I wish he got to see this ♥️

[@vfam825]

RIP Menza

[@JT-sl3ui]

Nick did see this. And he enjoyed it

[@Del_licious]

Great song to choose. Those drums were on point, and those guitars got shredded, wish we could have heard the guitars better though. Most impressive to me was your ability to spontaneously fill the front of that stage with an engaged crowd. Good job, and thanks for spreading some great music.

[@chicanochops]

Delmar Stuermer thanks man! Glad you enjoyed and I appreciate the feedback

[@ihateminecraft932]

amazing, but the drum piece was not played correctly

[@Zilch616]

I've been to full on gigs with crowds smaller than this school show, I'm jealous. Awesome cover, everyone involved absolutely killed it.

[@chicanochops]

Thanks man🤝

[@cristhianm]

I wish I could have done this. Not a lot of my friends that listen to metal actually like thrash. I've always wanted to have someone to play some Megadeth. The drummer did a sick job!

[@chicanochops]

Definitely dope to be able to cover this type of music with friends. Hope you get to do so soon🤝

[@mikeyisadore]

probably the best highschool performance ive ever seen, nick would be proud of that drumming 🤘🤘

Hell of a compliment 🙏🏼

Just on the first drum roll, I already knew it.

Or at this THIS whole year... need shows back!!!

[@brettcarrigan3107]

kids have it so good now days.

[@jortega999]

Holy wars, holy sh*t. That drummer was amazing playing that with no double kick.

[@Gethe94]

Imagine Megadeth saw this and donated some instruments/equipment to their music program? That would be amazing. They totally deserve it and their talent should be nurtured.

[@chicanochops]

That’d be amazing man. I wish that could be made possible. Thank you!

[@Ifyernotawakeyet]

There is a solid reason this is Megadeths' number one song and closer. Time to wake up! NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THEY'LL TAKE MY THOUGHTS AWAY!

[@lilschlagen]

Spent most of the time in awe of the drummer but props to the frontman too. His vocals were solid and he was pretty great at hyping the crowd.

Never too late 👌🏼

[@muriloninja]

This is what happens when a generation grows up having copious amounts of video of their influences playing or teaching their songs. Damn, we had to develop our ears before the Internet (or early Internet days). This is solid for some 16-17yr olds.

[@chicanochops]

YOURE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

[@muriloninja]

@@chicanochops It is what it is little brothers, keep your ears open and your influences wide and you'll develop YOUR own sound and approach! Hope you guys are still together and growing as musicians, get the fuck after it if music is what you want to do, tunnel vision is key..no distractions (drugs, alcohol, marriage, kids. lol).

Im in middle school I had something like this happen. Our band started playing green day but then on a que I walked in on stage with my guitar and started playing angel of death raining blood, blind and master of puppets.

[@lildimppleszn]

The drummer stole the show. man is amazing didn't go off timing even when the guitarists did props to him. Lol how the singer tries to impersonate Dave Mustaine

[@rjz1313]

Right right, now, no one sings like dave, but ya cant just singin holy wars in your own voice either! Haha gotta have a Dave-ish compromise.

[@irocitZ]

Since we're nit-picking I might as mention that Metal bands usually don't wear plain white t-shirts, switch that out for a black one and they're good to go. Sounded great though, if they played anywhere near me I'd go see them. 🤘

[@anthonyadduci2338]
