Metallica - Master of Puppets - Chicago School of Rock

[@Frank-pe9pk]

I hope the gal on guitar gets discovered! She’s got a lot of talent. Hope she continues to push her music career.😎

[@JET7C0]

Yeah man, she's better than me and I've been playing (off and on, anyway) for nearly 20 years at this point, lol.

[@samiamdj8603]

That's Lauren Connor on guitar. She's one of my favorite guitarists. She has her own KZbin channel. I believe she's a music teacher. now

[@vombatkim]

Lauren Conner is in control of the guitar cool sound she's good

[@crazytoonmofo]

jeez! - and they played just a bit too fast! so cool to see!

[@Sledr1994]

Yea, I know that they are kids and have to be incouraged, but this is not what I would call "control" in a million years.

[@97warlock]

@@crazytoonmofo Sounds right to me

[@esimon35]

It's like a breath of fresh air to see these kids play and enjoy old music I listened to growing up. I'm 46 and this makes me feel young again as well.

[@thomash4447]

Same

[@jeannotcamel]

41 and still feeling it

[@miconis123]

Same here. I'm 43 and MoP was my first exposure to metal \m/

[@thefnaffan2]

esimon35 I'm the same age and yes indeed. Remember this music was considered devil worship (granted they're were some who song about satan.. But) in the 80's. Nobody cared to listen or look at the lyrics. They already had their minds made up.

[@1313jerry1313]

esimon35 I'm 59. These kids are killing it! Awesome...

[@tomb613]

Lauren Conner is a great guitarist, effortless playing and obviously having fun. See you on the Avenue Lauren.

[@mix6809]

The whole band does a great job, but Lauren kills it, amazing...

did i see alternate picking ?

Yep. And done with a smile.

im in love with that lead guitar

[@areyouavinalaff]

but, he's playing rhythm.

[@skylordzaneo]

@@areyouavinalaff but he's talking about lead...

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

She has a big fan base. That Red hair and plaid headband are her signature.

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

this was Lauren Connor and Fabian Vergara's coming out party!! They got noticed for their parts in this performance!!

[@peteguard3571]

Hopefully big things in both of their futures. They are really good.

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

@@peteguard3571 Yes!! Although Lauren had more success than Fabian, they both got noticed and continued to ply their wares!

[@BadtemperedandGrumpy]

Aw ... man this is brilliant ... it is just fantastic to see such young talent ... and yes Lauren Conner is amazing on her guitar ... but credit to the others as well .... I had forgotten how much I love this song ...

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

Early in my School of Rock adventure I discovered a GEM!! Lauren Connor became known as a master guitar player!!!

[@croasmuncroasmun9900]

Awesome! The girl 🎸 player is smokin! She has got it down.......and i have been playing guitar literally all my life......keep it up!

[@heshimu1]

the red head guitar player is flawless. Have seen her in several vids and amazing.

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

She'll be going out on tour with the School of Rock AllStars at the end of July.

[@heshimu1]

Well deserved!

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

After all of these years, this is still my most favorite School of Rock video!

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

I think this and the Changes video with Celia Porter got me hooked on School of Rock!!

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

Upon closer inspection, it appears that Fabian is playing a Fender and so is the bass. Lauren however is playing the new kid on the block guitar.

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

Now I know it is a Paul Smith brand guitar!!

[@A7Xgreatestfan]

I like how zaid is playing the drums with those faces,CAUSE THEY KNOW THEY'RE KILLIN IT!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@johnarzaga7109]

I echo all the great comments on Ms Connor, but the thing that gets me is that she is so in her element. You can tell she loves doing this, and its an honest performance...straight from the heart! She just glows and demands attention, but in a humble way. Take it from an old guy...I performed often at this age and a little older and then life happened, and it left a huge void in me that took years to adjust to.

[@mattyp3400]

thanks for making an old guy feel young again

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

mattyp3400 I'm 56, and seeing these kids Rock out keeps me young as well. Glad you dug it!

[@littlegoobie]

They weren’t born when this song came out. In fact, some of their parents probably bought this on vinyl. Haha

[@chrisedward7575]

Who are you calling old?

[@chrisedward7575]

I'm pretty sure we had cassette tapes then.

[@MrZevv]

Hehe even the lead guitar fails where like in the original :D

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

This gets my vote for the best performance by a SoR team hands down!

[@brentgriva2715]

The production on this is pretty good!! I’m impressed!!! Some Attitude, some energy!!, I would’ve been proud to play with these guys!!

[@paulrambone6705]

it is so cool to see such young people rocking out. I luv lauren the guitarist and the guy I think might be Indian decent playing drums. Did you ever see a young drummer look like he was having sooooo much fun? PRICELESS!

[@mix6809]

Love that redhair guitarrist, amazing talent. she could be in any metal band of her choosing...

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

Both Lauren and Fabian had great careers in School of Rock and Allstars !!

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

I even saw Eva in a later video!!

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

This video got me hooked on School of Rock videos!!

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

It's still one of my favorites!!

[@areyouavinalaff]

so hard hearing this without James' voice laying over the top in my head... it's just so ingrained into my brain.

[@avman2cl]

Yeah definitely. She didn't do it justice

[@littlegoobie]

This is a very hard song to cover. I think they did okay, only because i've seen much much worse, but it's still kinda sloppy from just about everyone on stage. Everyone is going after the singer but they all contributed to mediocre performance. ...bad timing, sloppy playing, missed parts, etc.

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

Still my #1 Favorite School of Rock video !!!

[@geraldr.handschumacher1439]

Phenomenal! The female guitarist is going places! Wicked solos!!

[@cass4114]

outstanding

[@cian909]

Just listening to Master of puppets demo track from late June 1985 and it sounds so so familiar to this version, thee rawness of it all is just parallel.

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

My all time favorite KZbin video! And my first!! I discovered an amazing talent and I followed her through other challenges, which she breezed through!

[@Дэйвид23]

Needs more downstrokes lol. but seriously seeing the young gen rock to my gen's Metal is awesome! Now go play SLAYER!!!

[@hershelreedy2821]

Wow wow wow what can I say I mean you kids nailed it I mean that is one of my favorite songs off the Master of Puppets album and the girl who was doing lead guitar solo I've got to give her props for a job well done on nailing that guitar solo I know Kirk Hammett amazed at the way she did his solo and all I can say now is rock on boys and girls rock on 🤘

[@aldrinportes9533]

Dude!! This is the best cover of MoP!! Hands down for the big SOLO!

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

The best School of Rock team hands down!!!

[@kenwheeler3637]

Great. That had everything going for it. Lauren played those solos perfectly note for note too.

Wow,this girl Lauren can shred. Her tone is perfect and she is in the right key and plays flawlessly. I'm so happy there are kids like her with rock and roll and metal in their very souls and not listening to that foul mouthed hack Cardi B

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

She won the School of Rock shredding contest at Summerfest one year. She has since graduated and has a band in the Chicago area called Serendipity.

[@jeffconner6621]

[@mikeaguilar7648]

The female lead has that rare quality called "presence." Not many do, especially at her age.

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

Just shot her last regular season School of Rock show. Actually, there is one more performance tomorrow at noon at Cobra Lounge - the Jacksons, which means she plays those parts that Eddie Van Halen played. Then she goes on tour with the School of Rock AllStars.

[@mikeaguilar7648]

This young lady probably has a great career in rock if she wants it.

[@jeffconner6621]

As her father I can attest that we go to a lot of concerts which she passes off as 'educational'. Perhaps she's right. lol

[@MrSkydog]

Kudos Jeff!!! She's an absolute killer musician. Would love to see her play some of the old Be Bop Deluxe/Bill Nelson stuff. As a Brit I'm partial to a bit of prog ;)

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

I don't think I've ever seen a School of Rock cover any Be Bop Deluxe. I'll pass the suggestion along.

Both guitarists were School of Rock "AllStars", the very best in the program from more than 200 locations who went on tour and played clubs and festivals. The singer was stretching out to learn this style - they don't learn to put on a show, the put on a show to learn.
