School of Rock AllStars perform "Highway Star" by Deep Purple

[@billkaroly]

These kids need to be highlighted on The Grammy's As Future Stars of Rock

[@wizpopr]

Couldn't agree more!

[@c4sb2008]

never happen, all about the money, besides the grammys are a joke

[@dineshchdiwal2879]

Good bad

[@OriginalWhiteDevil]

The Grammys couldn't care less about rock or musicanship.

[@evilish888]

Future rock stars will only be stars if they've created OG music Respectfully, musicians playing covers are referred to as "Cover bands"

[@eswift8318]

When the rhythm guitarist is shredding, you know you're in the middle of something epic.

[@jeld-ridge]

Never underestimate the drummer! This kid is incredible! These kids are amazing!

[@zaarrd1699]

Now go watch Ian Paice... Then you'll know.

[@dmontes133]

That girl on the keyboard, rocks!!!

[@Renoiceman]

The keyboard player is the same from "The Final Countdown" - she is amazing

[@neiladams7963]

I knew it! That young lady throws pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

[@epistte]

John Lord is a monster to cover.

[@jamessharier7529]

These kids are great, but Erin on keyboards is the most enthusiastic

[@monteyoung7126]

She's awesome but she needs to smile more to show that she's enjoying it. The rest of them seem to be having more fun than her.

[@lancomedic]

@@monteyoung7126 You can tell she's enjoying it by the way she's dancing and singing along.

[@lewan2kki]

That Keyboard/Guitar solo is KILLIN IT

[@michaeldeloach838]

That's not an easy song for this 52 year old drummer to play. That kid on drums not only nailed it but took it a step further! They all nailed it! Great job, kids! Most adult cover bands couldn't have played it that well.

[@bigfrank1010]

I agree

[@bonzorip6162]

Agreed. He had a tight pocket, but his fills were crisp and clean.

[@gandalf679]

As a 63 year old, I must say I'm very impressed...Great job you guys, all of you were outstanding. I obviously grew up with this band and many others, had most of them on 8-track at one time or another...love watching you guys cover the music I am still in love with...Rock ON!

[@randyfemrite7525]

I'm 62, this was my first rock album. Yes they nailed it!

[@spunkytheozinho]

the solos swap was just AWESOME. nailed it.

[@jonagib8827]

That lass in the keyboard is crazy good omg 🫶👊

[@me-yy9zz]

Wow, these kid knocked this song out of the stadium............... great performance

[@franka.9419]

Refreshing how the young people interpret "Highway Star". Respect !

[@SchoolofRockUSA]

100%

[@Ruffy6951]

Great job, 🤘

[@davidkomer3890]

NAILED IT!!! Vocals were sassy, guitars were solid, drum was in the house as well as the keyboard. Excellent

[@mikecon7634]

As a 68 year old who listened to the Machinehead cassette in my van back when this came out....all I can say is u guys were fan freakin tastic.

[@BonnChnd]

I must add that Erin on the keyboards is really jammin’! Deep Purple was one of the legendary bands (and arguably the first heavy metal band) to incorporate smoking keyboard parts into their best songs. Keep on Rockin kids! You’re living your best lives!

[@TT.Hell.]

Jon Lord was insanely good, noone plays like him. Very original.

[@thomastroutman667]

I wonder if she has ever played a real Hammond M3

[@Robbie-sk6vc]

I always liked the way that Blackmore's guitar was played against lord's keyboard! That's just so cool!

[@vanpearsall]

@@thomastroutman667 It’s a ham in B3 with Leslie’s

[@cryptoking7093]

Great job! Drummer is an ace!!!

[@BUNKERJR53]

I am 69 and started playing in bands at 14. These young ladies and gentlemen are killing it. This is an amazing version of Highway Star. I remember when this song came out on "Machine Head" by Deep Purple. Great work gang. Hope to see you do another song in the future.

[@jeffreysnyder3830]

i also am in my mid sixties and played in a garage band in my teens. i can't get over how well this school of rock puts together all these fantastic covers with such talented young people.

[@DanDarden]

That girl on the keyboard, I'm like "Go girl!" Well done, all of them.

[@aurthurodonnell6707]

ROCKING-N-ROLL is in good hands for sure with young talented people like this ,and a big thank you to there teachers .. out ...

[@NorseMan633]

Jesus, Joseph and Mary, I lack the words to describe how good these kids are! What a fantastic job by everyone here. Just a great rendition of a Deep Purple hard rock classic song from way back in 1972. Thank you for helping to keep hard rock alive ! Somewhere, Jon Lord is looking down and smiling! Peace !

[@muffs55mercury61]

I would like to see a version of "Smoke On the Water" done by these kids. Ritchie Blackmore is still alive and I hope he sees this video.

[@hike965]

I gotta say the first girl nailed it. What a voice and what a little cutie. Great job

[@ericdellinger6260]

THIS is how you cover a song! Amazingly well done!

[@southernboy7837]

I’m 63 sure wish I would i picked up the guitar when I in grade school and learned it. Ole well live and learn. These kids are very talented.

[@ruivoheringer]

Oh God! This is awesome! The keybord girl killed it AGAIN! Fantastic, thank you all for this video.

[@joshuaburba1048]

Same keyboardist (Erin) from The Final Countdown video. That girl knows what she's doing. Glad you gave her a shout out!

[@Tom-ok2rh]

Normally when I hear Highway Star I think of the great sounds from the instruments but I love the way the two girls brought the vocals to the forefront…well done👍👍👍

[@solomonkane223]

Has to be the single best SOR performance I've ever seen. This particular group clicked together very well.

[@ricksprinkle8396]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IN THEIR DELIVERY, VOCALS AND PERFORMANCE. 110% AUDIO OCTANE!

[@biffhenderson1144]

Being an entertainer and stage performer is a giant step up from being a musician. If you're having fun, the audience will have fun. Great job team!

[@johnmcdonnell8182]

Erin (keyboards) always plays with so much passion!

[@GMSade]

That's the best vocal cover from "amateurs" EVER! Rock on!!!!!!!!!

[@vanpearsall]

Dream on

[@Calvin.of.Martin.Street]

Absolutely outstanding. Made me miss my old 1972 Monte Carlo. ....sigh....

[@stevho6353]

Return of The Keyboard Queen Erin B!! Great job everyone!

[@retiredleo6639]

You guys and gals knocked that out of the park.

[@maniacalmikeee]

the vocalists are such power houses!! Keep on boasting that talent!

[@martinburch2416]

Can't wait to see this one

[@davidlasalle5018]

Great Job AllStars. Awesome talent all around. Congrats Michelle. Love the rings... he

[@SchoolofRockUSA]

We love Michelle!

[@dougclegg7955]

Done in the true spirit of Deep Purple. Well done!!

[@gz9520]

I got one criticism. You only did one song. I want to see more of you kids, this is awesome.

[@fguasco]

Come on kids! The future of Rock'n'roll are guaranteed!

[@warrengiffin7255]

Nice to see the young ones perform and appreciate our old time rock and roll!!!

[@warrengiffin7255]

Awesome job too, I might add!!!

[@BonnChnd]

Thank you for Rockin’ this classic. You all kicked butt! The guitars were SHREDDING! 🤘🤘

[@horrorview]

I like how the unassuming Michael Kay guitar kid who was apparently stuck in a closet for some reason smokes the hardest solo of the lot without breaking a sweat.

[@dennyclosser8456]

Another great job by these kids and I gotta say the kid on the drums man he’s following Ian pace just about to the letter. Great job, One and all.

[@roysadlowski7715]

There's no doubt. You are all stars!.

[@RQCK0N]

The secret to this song is the driving bass and drums which they nailed big time. I love the theatrical vocals too, brilliant.

[@edkerry87]

Love the dueling leads on vocals and guitar.

[@ReidLangford]

Got goosebumps with this one, what a great cover of this classic!

[@me-st7pj]

Best played with headphones on full

[@Austinite333]

Folks understand you took on what I consider to be the finest classic rock song ever. Huge shoes to fill. Good job. 👍

[@jet4tv]

Great song! Fantastic musicians! How CUTE are they!!! 😀

[@kmlee8323]

Love this , Those vocals are killing it. God Bless these kids and their talent.

[@michaelpullen6812]

I am absolutely blown away by the IMMENSE TALENT I just watched! As a Deep Purple fan since the 70’s, this is the best cover I have ever seen…rock on! More talent on this stage than 99% of today’s “artists” 😊

[@lastcall170]

Wow...I had to put this on repeat. Guitarists are phenomenal as well as keys ..drums and vocals. That girl on guitar is Bad Ass.

[@adambridges1452]

Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 woooooooo absolutely awesome

[@paulrobertson5550]

That was a solid performance, each and every one of them.

[@raemenp]

Pure power. This singer.

[@JackKirbyFan]

Incredible but man that's some fantastic riffs coming from the guitarist. I was really taken aback!

[@schaferhundschmidt1798]

Everybody was on point. Kristen and Michelle sing great together, the back and forth really added something to it! JP and Witt, you had a tough assignment, playing Roger Glover and Ian Paice isn't easy, and you made it look easy! Guitars: Great job, just too many of you for this song. Which is why the guitar duel. Fantastically done, but it robbed Erin of one of the shining moments in the song. She did a fantastic job with what was left of the keyboards. I say give her a B3 and let her ROCK it! (Literally, like Jon did)

[@michaelkonopka9607]

sick rendition!!! love it

[@tklosterman11]

Damn!

[@me-yy9zz]

Holy cow, what a performance......................outstanding

[@tinademuro8572]

WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE SHE HAS

[@uhly101]

Hell yeah! Great job students. Wish they would have showed more of the bass player, that kid was rippin'

[@joshuaburba1048]

Thank you for pointing that out. I also was blown away by the awesome riffs he was playing on the bass. That dude rocked it.

[@jeffschielka7845]

Year after year the School of Rock Allstars get better and better. Jon Anderson of YES is touring with Paul Green's Academy of Rock. How cool is that⁉️Awesome job by everyone on this Deep Purple classic❗

[@Chris-jq3eg]

Your all STARS! Great job keep it going young ROCKERS

[@jameszarachowicz4118]

I have seen many groups do this song. This group is the best!

[@dougtempleton-noaafederal87]

On point! I felt the energy through the performance this song requires. Having fun when performing and using each other to drive it to the next level is what it's all about! GREAT JOB!!!

[@kc79ta]

I dang near fell out my chair with that into scream. You NAILED IT!! Awesome job everyone.

[@SchoolofRockUSA]

We had to pick our jaw up off the ground after that scream!

[@kimveizer5469]

The Infamous Ian Gillian Scream. Often Imitated but never Duplicated. Until Now. f****N AWESOME.

[@Chuck883]

Amazing cover. Better than the original. I’m 65 and it’s great to see young folks play classic rock.

[@vanpearsall]

Better than original you must be tone, deaf

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

Every single performer involved pulled this off spectacularly. Has I can be sure many have replied this is hope for our future.

[@IfyougotitatruckbroughtitAlexK]

The Drummer is ready for full time professional work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🕶️

[@venture103]

I lOVE what the bass player does!

[@joshuaburba1048]

Yes, thank you for saying so. That kid is killing the bass in this song. It sounds amazing!

[@larrycreed5049]

What a great group ! Love the girl on the keyboard !

[@jacksonb3175]

this is so good!!! the singers were fantastic. so much hope for the future of music!!!!!!!!!!

[@Kiki-Ann65]

Awesome Cover by these Young Stars! 🎶🤘🙌✨🎤🎸🥁

[@mikebillets9671]

Great cover by a Great band that brought us the original heavy-metal sound. This heavy metal was fun to listen to

[@triandfit1]

HOLY CRAP!!! Outstanding all the way around. I knew it was going to kick when the first singer hit all of Gillian’s intro notes. Then was totally blown away by the solo switch. It is totally something Deep Purple would have done. The drummer hit all of Paice’s licks smoothly- it didn’t sound forced. The guitar players nailed the solo just like Satriani does with Cicken Foot. And the vocals were just butt kicking amazing. This long time Deep Purple fan can’t say enough about how great this was! BRAVO ZULU!!!

[@hubertstaiger9131]

Hits me like a hammer😊❤

[@wlangelier]

Awesome job to all! Michelle, you are amazing! ❤️

[@SchoolofRockUSA]

She is amazing!

[@wlangelier]

Thank you! ❤️🖤

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

What great artists! Thank you, School of Rock, for producing quality musicians

[@latahquish365]

beyond talent n passion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@muffs55mercury61]

Just beautiful !!! Hope they do a cover of "Smoke On the Water" as well. Both girls on vocals are outstanding.

[@MrDjinxbass]

Again. Amazed at the clean production and talent. Putting a soul stirring spin on a rock classic. Just wow. Plus it looked like a ton of fun! Nice work.

[@vladskorok9694]

That's cooool!! Bravo!!

[@Tom-ok2rh]

The fact that these teens chose a 50 year old song to play tells a lot about today’s music. I won’t be around to find out but I’d be surprised if 50 years from now someone is this passionate about any song from today’s catalogue of music. Well done and both girls were awesome singers👍👍

[@siulumlion]

There is always good music being produced, but you won't find it on commercial radio anymore. Also, these kids tore this song up! Good job.

[@sebastianmelmoth9100]

You could drive 85 in a lot of states when this was written. The vocalists are fantastic and the sound quality is dynamite.

[@Roadworn12]

Just frickin' amazing. Hard song to pull off on every instrument, and they nailed it.

[@GaryInSoCal]

Damn... this totally JAMMED!... huge for of Deep Purple and you kids nailed 'Highway Star'! KUDOS!

[@Bmlboston12]

Yo the singer with the rings high key nailed this song respect

[@SchoolofRockUSA]

She sure did!

[@noelmoimeme5694]

You are crazy . You are professional. You are the future of rock. You are spectacular . I love that . Thank you so much

[@SchoolofRockUSA]

Wow, thank you!

[@kindnessmakesmesmile6583]

WOWWWW!!!!! You guys really killed it!!!!!! So so so Great!!!!!! Instrumentals incredible and you two ladies are mesmerizing!!!!! All I can say is just WOWWWW!!!!!!! 🧡✌️

[@SchoolofRockUSA]

Thank you for the great feedback!

[@djay6651]

The guitarist with the Charvel plays like a rock star.🤘

[@steverickenbacher7110]

It would be unfair of me to point out one or two over the others. They were all truly fantastic in their execution!

[@MacPac78]

the girl on keyboards is a superstar! \m/

[@Newpopcity]

Damn this rocks & those vocalists are bringing it

[@briandias]

wow the keyboardist in this video is on fire. i hope she has a successful career in music she has mad talent.

[@charlespatrick1572]

Soooo good!

[@DJEastwood24]

Just... Wow!

[@CHenry1951]

Outstanding performance.......................................................... you nailed it !!!

[@erswnn]

Great choice of music...a true rocker. Old school. With a fantastic new twist, very, very well done! As I posted in a couple of other videos from SoR I had been going through some intense chemo and radiation treatments. Music from SoR helped get through it. And now I'm done, at least that's the present, the future will come one way or the other. So now it's celebration time. Perfect song! Cars and girls, pure joy, hard line joy. Thanks! May I suggest High Tides and Green Grass?

[@TheSnapdad]

Not only a killer performance but I’m very excited to see the Warren DeMartini guitar being used to great effect.
