15 years ago today. I always have to watch this on the anniversary. I am the bassist. I love reading the comments, they crack me up. Definitely one of the funnest moments of my life rocking like this in front of my high school only 9 months after picking up the bass.
Good stuff. Do you and your bro still jam together? And what happened after that? Did classmates and teachers look at you the same way? Or where they in awe?
"What are fills? Do I need them?" I can imagine you've come a long way. I've been playing bass for about 2 years now. I know the struggle. I picked this song at about the 6 month mark and getting the fills right was so difficult because I simply didn't have the strength built to play the way Cliff did.
+Ryan O'Toole I know, right!? Having Joel on the didg was a last-minute impulse. We were literally about to go on stage and we invited him to didge along with the intro because we thought it would nicely simulate the "wind" sound effects that can be heard in the original Metallica recording. To this day we are so glad he was there didging and dancing! Cheers.
I was at this performance, and it sounded far better live! We were all high school kids. They were talented beyond their years. Alas, the late 90's-early 2000's did not offer the best recording devices to capture live performances in their highest quality.
Ugh just watching this video is a huge nostalgic rush. The fashion, the quality of the videos, the high school settings, the solo improv attempt, the crowd cheering.
If you saw someone playing this at your highschool for the talent show, you wouldn't be criticizing, you would be happy that someone still has good musical taste.
To all the haters on the lead guitar... the kid is 15. How many of you could play like that at 15!? I was there to witness this and it was, by far, the very best performance of the show. Please submit your guitar proficiency videos of you at 15 and I'll make sure to critique every aspect of your performance.
@@azziebrew we need some of the four skins video posted! I must've been 16. I was basing the age off of him saying he went to the scenes from a memory show the night of this show with Link while you and Jackie bummed around. We went a few days ago together to the same show and since it was the 20 year anniversary I guessed on the age.
Andy Fisk actually the name of the band was the 3skins, formerly known as the 4skins. that was way before video camcorders but I may have some 40 year old audio...
These guys did an incredible job! I don't know why you haters are hating, but hey thats what haters do... The lead guitarist did a fine job improvising the solo and it was well rehearsed and performed... 5 Stars
@rabarbaley the amps are usually turned away towards the guitarists because the vibration from them well affect how the guitar plays and usuall if its done right it will give an extra distortion sound that mettalica fans love.
Thanks! There was a five minute time limit on performances at this talent show, so we sliced out the last 1/3 of the song so that we would be allowed to perform it.
This was a year before I was born and I’m only seeing it today. Great performance. If you still read these comments, I have to ask if Metallica was listened to, even at all, by kids back then. Today you’ll never find good music like this generally listened to by people my age.
Very cool to hear this comment from someone who is 20 years old today. It was probably more likely that kids would listen to Metallica in the year 2000 when we played this talent show in our high school, but you are correct, it was still rare even then (Limp Bizkit and Incubus were the popular heavy bands of the time). Good music never stops being good though, no matter how unpopular or out-of-style it might become. Glad you asked this interesting question, Joshua B!
yea the intro chords to hangar 18 are notes that they used in call of ktulu, but kirk just plays the notes one by one instead of in chords like in hangar 18
This is one of the hardest Metallica songs in my opinion. This guy nailed it. Don't hate on him. I couldn't play in front of my entire school and nail a song.

Link Swanson that was superbly done :)
Link Swanson NICE MAN!.... WOOOOHOOO
Keep up the Good work

That depends.... do you still play with Metallica?
At first I thought that guy was hitting a bong
+David Chavez You wouldn't be so off on that guess.
That would explain his dance moves
Bong mic stand? Somebody better market that!
the didgeridoo works surprisingly well

That's some serious camera work for a talent show
Bruh, the bass player forgot to use the wah wah at the beginning
i doesnt look like he has a wah pedal😂
at least two of these dudes are primus fans
Didgeridoo kid getting wild
loved ur performance....those hip-hop looks of u reminded of early 2000s..
well if you check the description this tape is from the year 2000
The thing about people hating on these guys is, that this was 20 years ago, where you didn't have much to go off in terms of learning the song
Ugh just watching this video is a huge nostalgic rush. The fashion, the quality of the videos, the high school settings, the solo improv attempt, the crowd cheering.
23 years ago. Wow. I wouldn't be born for another 5 years after this preformence
If you saw someone playing this at your highschool for the talent show, you wouldn't be criticizing, you would be happy that someone still has good musical taste.
i think the drum guy never listen on his life the call of ktulu
bassist either
The thing about music is that you get to do it your way
just to let all the haters know, roy was in 8th grade playing with seniors at the high school talent show, respect.
you guys are awesome! and you all look so 90s XD

better than I expected, overall good job!
Interesting to see you here!
Please tell me they won.....
Drummer was super interested. High School kids. Good for them getting up and playing in front of people. You gotta start somewhere.
thank you. i don't know how i could go on in life without your undying gratitude. :)
that guy with the digeree doo or however its spelled is my hero
These guys did an incredible job! I don't know why you haters are hating, but hey thats what haters do... The lead guitarist did a fine job improvising the solo and it was well rehearsed and performed... 5 Stars
I just wanna know what High Schooler decides he want to play the didgeridoo?
Was abit random but sounded cool
I played rhythm guitar. I just played this for my ten year old daughter and her commentary was gold😆🤣🤘🏼🎶
the distortion kicked in and i couldn't stop head banging!

gj keep rocking. the call of ktulu forever!!!
one of the best metallica talent show covers ive seen yet
that really good, im sure it sounded alot better live. dont see many people their age who even knows this song let alone play it.
didgeridu in theme... cool.
You guys rock! Don't listen to the haters, they're just jealous. Well done :D

My favourite part was the end jumps
It was just a little sloppy on some parts, that doesn 't mean anything he made mistakes onstage. His rhythm and bend were very good
I think Cliff would be proud
LOVE The bassist wearing a Primus Brown album shirt!
The drummer in the beginning is like dude, you're fuckin' it up.
@iscareuiknowit they're using their amps as monitors, so they can hear what the hell it is they're playing
You are so correct! There was a 5:00 limit at this talent show . . .
Today is the 10 year anniversary of this performance. A whole decade has passed!
yea the intro chords to hangar 18 are notes that they used in call of ktulu, but kirk just plays the notes one by one instead of in chords like in hangar 18
i play bass and the bass does fly around and go insane
you have balls for covering Ktulu, great job!
best one is didjeridoo xD !!!
@stuff4dollas Yeah there is. Listen to the studio version. Listen to it closely.
the V at the bridge doesnt mean anything, it just doesnt have a floyed rose. Its a washburn. for christ sakes i can read it on the head stock.
dude,
kirk would be glad to see this.
This is one of the hardest Metallica songs in my opinion. This guy nailed it. Don't hate on him. I couldn't play in front of my entire school and nail a song.
kickass solo improvising!
That dancing Queen sais it all...
i like how the audience only reacts to the solo
yea this kid actually sits at my lunch table at North Branch High school hes an awesome guitarist but i didnt go to this talent show
Thats a bad-ass bong!
lol Great job guys!
Nice to see AJ Soprano kept playing drums after all.
What amps are those in the front?
@Henoxen no i mean like jason, cliff would solo with some arcane bass wah tone
i was amazed by the idea with the didgeridoo!!
Why are the amps... Facing them? Or are they just some crappy improvised monitors?
@PV2Rucci thats good its acient instrument from northern australia from the aboriginis
Awesome! Is this nbhs in shepherdsville ky?
it probably would sound better facing the other way, but it wouldn't matter being open back amps. if i had to guess, access to knobs and controls.
how does this have any dislikes, immense talent and a tight performance!
drummer ruined it
@@DannyGadish in that case, very metallica adjacent
no i just want to know if the lead guitar is unplugged it looks like it
Enjoyed!!
my guitar is ready
Mind=Blown
this guy is awesome to come out and play this amazing song
@dan197929 Is that the acctual name? Cause i've never heard of it before so i'm gonna look it up.
What kind of guitar was the guy in the adidas shirt playing?
Hell Yeah!! That was awesome!! I hope you guys are still playing together!
YOU GUYS ROCK!
i wish somone would play that at my school
what guitar is the adidas guy using? this is great btw! i really didnt like this song a whole lot before but now i think i do lol :P
0:45 STAR POWER!
woah i washburn dimeguitar? damn and the head stock on that V are they custom made or bought used?
Are you thinking about the song "The Thing That Should Not Be"? Both are about the Cthulhu mythos.
@ziiielu no he just activated star power
the performance was decent, but the didgeridoo made it bad ass
Really good guys
why are the amps facing away from the audience?
the guy in the adidas shirt
what guitar is that
We used the amps as stage monitors
i thought this was some badass cover.But it looks like most people who are commenting ''having no vids at all'' know it better
its not, i have the same exact one, but i myself do not know what it is..ive read it was a arrow brand, model" warlike". not sure how accurate it is
Why no bass solo at the end?
what is the pipe guy for?
what guitar did the dude in the hat have?
Gotta love that solidstate n00b tone. LOL
that guitar on the left is rare as fuck
When you land The Solo, keep cool. This is great.
what kind of guitar is the black one? thats a cool/weird looking guitar. nice vid though
that dimebag guitar is not being used to full potential, but nonetheless its a cool song. and they did a pretty good job :)
What's the adidas guy's guitar?
that's right ChainMan21 - no monitors and the amps sounded better onstage and in the audience when they were flipped
Why are your amps faceing you and not the crowd?
copyright for this video?
Nice work lads!
This performance gave me CHILLS! I FUCKING LOVE THIS!
@biqMAKnificent Not sure what you saw. I saw a guy playing some instrument that is used in the song.
