Wrong shoes. A true 80s thrash metal head would be wearing high top Nikes, Reebok's, etc. Of course there were exceptions, especially with punk/thrash bands like S.T., and whatnot. His Damage Inc. T-shirt didn't exist either, not in those colors.
I love that in every high school in every generation there's that one kid who picks up a guitar and goes "This makes perfect sense to me" and can f*cking slay with it. I hope those kids know we love and cherish them 🎸🔥
My best friend in grade 5 had a “unusually strange” interest in playing the drums…fast forward 35 years, that same guy has been nominated 3 or 4 times for Canada’s drummer of the year, unfortunately he hasn’t won it yet.
@mjtch Woww, great to hear you say that. It's not just how great of an instrument player you are, it's the total band sound, including the lyrics. For me the greatest rock band created is, was and always will be Led Zeppelin. 💪🌙🌑⚡️
These kids don’t even realize how good he is. The whole first part where he was just using the volume knob while fingering the frets with his left hand was incredible. Kids goin far. Edit: I know it’s a fucking kill switch!
Most people who have been playing for 6+ months could do this if they've been practicing and putting their focus into it. Twiddling a kill switch isn't difficult.
@@zechariahstein624 most people can’t play guitar like that in 6 months, dude… Most ppl with innate musical talent could maybe, but 95% of high school boys are busy trying to learn how to twiddle a ‘giner. This kid isn’t average.
My first day of high school in 94 was a trip. A kid across the road at a house came outside with his guitar and amp and proceeded to jam just like this. I thought it was something out of a movie.
@@sergiosolomon2250bro it’s a solo that’s how it goes, I play guitar too and play a few of the ones bro included here and I can gaurentee you he knows the full songs not just bits and pieces wat you think we just learn intros and shit and play like this ? You’re trippin lol
I’ve been playing 3-4 years and my first song I ever learned was seek n destroy. It would take me a week or two of 1-2 hours a day to learn this, but when it comes to making my on solo I look like a deer in headlights. Im mostly into punk anyways
This generation getting BACK into playing?? Lol where tf have you been…. There has ALWAYS been kids playing… no one is “getting back” into playing.. it never went away. This has always been a thing. There’s countless videos of kids playing guitar in talent shows from every year you can think of.
This kid is ridiculously good. It's like he was born to play. He makes it look effortless. I mean, the way he's able to transition from song to song. It's amazing.
It's good to see young people still interested in rock music, may the roar of their guitars and the rumble of their drums never die, accompanied by those powerful lyrics expressing an idea, a reality or a feeling... forever rock and roll roll.
Lol as a 55 year old school metal head this does my heart good! I had the same outfit and hair he’s wearing when I was in 10th grade.., kept it alive dude 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
All of the kids in the audience are speechless as they witness true talent. This kid has spent 1000s of hours practicing his craft. This requires great discipline especially at such a young age.
Yes he spent probably a couple thousand hours practicing and achieving something while his friends probably spent that time watching dumb videos on TikTok.
@@MaXaNoMaLoUsI’m in high school, I played guitar with some of the school choir for a Christmas dance a couple of weeks ago…you’d be surprised at how many people asked for heavier songs, I personally don’t like Metallica but they asked for Master of Puppets and I even slid in some Megadeth and Bring me the horizon in between songs to break silence. The choir peeps started requesting songs and even the teacher chaperones gave me the greenlight and started requesting songs. I was afraid I was going to start a mosh! I’m just joking, I felt like the man all night and even had help from the teachers of my less than desirable subjects to pack up all of my gear. Luckily I only brought the Boss Katana 50 and my laptop to upload patches…Not transporting any pedals or expensive gear to school!
Makes me happy to see younger people embracing some of the best music ever. Buckethead is one of the greatest guitar masterminds to ever live and this kid just rocked the very first song that got me hooked on him. Please keep playing and chase your dreams!
This dude's ability to transition from Buckethead to Nirvana to Sabbath to Metallica is INSANE Edit: For the people who pointed out Crazy Train is Ozzy and not Sabbath, my apologies, simple mistake
Back in the 80s you'd have to whip out some Yngwie Malmsteen or tough EVH solo just to keep up with the next ten guys and make sure you don't get upstaged. Now you can play smells like teen Spirit and master of puppets and you're like a rock star! 😂
It’s surreal how the same music that was popular when I was younger still resonates so much with young people now. Back when Master of Puppets and Nirvana and Buckethead were popular, the idea of 30-40 year old music being cool was completely ridiculous. Fantastic playing in this video!
But rocks just rock, in the 90s we were jamming out to Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath and other stuff from the 70s or 60s stuff, hell, even alot of 50s stuff don't get old.
Kids these days will never know what it was like the day the Master of puppets riff came into existence..it blew all our minds the first time we heard it
@Bubbles Maybe, but I think he meant that at the time it was unlike anything we had heard. Master of Puppets, Reign In Blood, and Among the Living were game changers at the time.
@@tonybroken6353 Yes, it fucking does. There's been over 35 years of extreme metal since then. At the time, most people had never heard anything like this. And even for metalheads, it was almost shocking because it was so different, so hard. People today who grow up with a knowledge of Slayer and Pantera and GWAR and whatever else are not living in the world of 1986, so their experience is different. It's not their fault. It's just true.
This kid kills it! I've been playing over 35 years and I'm an old school metal head, so I really enjoyed seeing this. The world needs to watch out for him, because this is how Dime got started. Great work young man!!
Funny how a lot of the young generation think master of puppets is from the stranger things whereas it’s from 1986. Same goes with other songs “oooo it’s from that” as if it was made for that movie. Same with thinking only new music is better. Some of the best music ever is old. And of which I’m young and think this. Don’t be sheep.
The look of pure bliss on his face !! Keep going kid !! You’ve got the chops don’t let anything get in your way and stay true to the music you wish to create and the world will take notice!!! And as I’m sure you’ve noticed there’s NO substitute for hard work and PRACTICE,PRACTICE & PRACTICE some more!!
I swear,, I was born in 1976 and it doesn't matter what decade or generation it is. Metal kids and hard rock kids still look the same as they did in the 80s when I was growing up lmao!!! This guy is VERY good.
Indeed! My father played it so much when my boys were little that the first time they heard it on the radio, they thought it was my father! 🤣 It always drove him nuts that I picked up acoustic instead, despite loving metal. Lol
Wow. This guy is insane. The Buckethead cover was the best part for me. He played "Jordan" so good, i never seen anyone play this song like this guy. You are the best, bro... you are the best
I WAS HERE! Hey man, you probably don't know this but I go to school with you (one grade below you). Ever since you showed off these skills at the talent show, I'll admit, I've been a fan. I don't play guitar myself, so obviously I can't judge that much, but I think you have some serious talent my guy. Really cool to see this video popping off so much and that so many people are enjoying it as much as I did. Keep up the great work man, I think there's a great future ahead of you.
The kid has awesome guitar truly important to understand how what music is if you have a passion for music believe in it and do it if you don't just listen to it like I do I have a passion and supporting music and loving music you know much bands and support it's unbelievable
I love how supportive the crowd is 🙏 not all appreciate & uplift others for their talents. And this is pretty mind blowing just HOW much talent this dude has! This is professional level guitar playing 🙏
Professional level guitar playing lmaooooo. Kids good, but let's be realistic. This is "im the best player at my small high-school" level playing. Like... give the kid his well deserved props, but stop meat riding.
Everyone tries to say rock and roll is dead, but there are still great bands out there. And high school kids like this inspire me that there is still a future. And that the backstory of Rush's 2112 album might not be fictional, after all!
This kid took me alllllll the way back to MY high-school days and I'm a fifty year old woman! He's an official badass in my book! 😊 Never stop jammin dude!! 💜💜💜
It takes balls to stand up in front of high schoolers of his generation and use an instrument to play actual music! More power to the free thinking young metal head
I mean, Wednesday Addams just kinda took the world by storm for playing the cello, gen Z seems to embrace peer performers pretty well. Still props to young duder shredding nonetheless
He’s already popular by the sound of it. There aren’t “metal heads” and “motorheads” and nerds and goths and all that anymore because all of those things have been played out in so many movies that it’s perfectly conformist to be any of those things and still be friends with whomever.
Probably won't get much further than playing in a local cover band, to be honest. But that's fulfilling enough for most musicians. You'd be surprised how many thousands of kids can play guitar like this. Emulation is one thing. Can he write a song?
This is great! I know Master, never watched Stranger I’m a musician of 30+ years watching this young musician just rock and he’s loving it. Black guitar, huge amps a Ramon’s look alike with Chuck Taylors on, old school look and feel finally, instead of bro country, rap crap…love it keep rocking kid.. not enough of you out there.
You bringing back the style of the early 80's and rocking it on your guitar is outstanding.I'm 65 and still love rock 'n 'Roll. Good job thanks dude.🤟.
I love that because of stranger things you can throw master of puppets toward the end now and make the crowd go INSANE from recognizing the song. That was almost finale worthy
This kid is not only so very talented musically but he is a born performer. His engaging the students in the stand definitely speaks to him being born to do this. Keep it alive brother!!!
The more things change… this kid wouldn’t be out of place with my metal head friends of the class of 1982. He looks like he could be the twin brother of our class guitar player. Rock on brother 🤘🏽
I started as a kiss fan in the 70s, I lived the 80s as it happened, played drums all through the 90s , in bands and I always wished I could find a guy like this! ...he's got it! and just look at his reach around the neck with those long ass fingers, (wish I could've had a guitarist like him) .
This kid is awesome! I grew up in the 80's and wanted to be this dude so bad and could only dream of doing this during a talent show. Keep rockin brother!
As an 80’s metal head and now an old man…you got my heart proud kid! Enough to comment on a year old post…never stop rockin on! This goes for all of ya! 🤘🏼
I’m also a teenager from italy and i love this old era of music cause simple was the real good one and now what we see even if is an other type of music that will never be able to match her
this guitar playing kid also makes music! check out BR4DLEY on all streaming services.

that's Bucketheads' kid? It did cross my mind ....my brain is spinning
Also to shred on a Tele. Don't see metalheads melting faces on Telecasters too often. Prince had his Hohner Madcat Tele style guitar but not many metal guys make the same choice.
no such thing as a buckethead song. its computer generated mathematically perfect sounds at light speed without emotion. this kids not bad though
@@joshualongbottom2252 Soothsayer…
Hes doing a john 5 style medley while rocking buckethead. I love it
The kid even dresses like he's from the 80's. Epic.
A lot of people still dress like this. I do
He's dressed normal lol
The only thing that resembles the 80s here is his hairstyle
@@AwkwardlyYou not really long hair on men is doing another turn around. You can’t leave the house without seeing a man with long hair

A true 80s thrash metal head would be wearing high top Nikes, Reebok's, etc.
Of course there were exceptions, especially with punk/thrash bands like S.T., and whatnot.

Its because there is no good rock music, theyre all listening to rap and shitty raegeton, and all that sort of crap

@P A which illegal riff though?
My god. Hes just standing there making it look effortless
Everyone tries to say rock and roll is dead, but there are still great bands out there. And high school kids like this inspire me that there is still a future. And that the backstory of Rush's 2112 album might not be fictional, after all!
ROCK N ROLL will never die. Long live ROCK!
This young man is going places!! Stay clean brother and live your passion!!!
I love how he has the 70s, 80s hairstyle.
The 20th century was the best like no joke I want to go back in time and re live it again.
Amen Brother
This kid took me alllllll the way back to MY high-school days and I'm a fifty year old woman! He's an official badass in my book! 😊 Never stop jammin dude!! 💜💜💜
Me too! Class of '91 when he hit master of puppets like that! Oh my word
If this kid didn't win!!...Sheesh! Beautiful playing and loved his subtle showmanship also. Great job man! !🤘🤙
It takes balls to stand up in front of high schoolers of his generation and use an instrument to play actual music! More power to the free thinking young metal head
I mean, Wednesday Addams just kinda took the world by storm for playing the cello, gen Z seems to embrace peer performers pretty well. Still props to young duder shredding nonetheless
He’s already popular by the sound of it. There aren’t “metal heads” and “motorheads” and nerds and goths and all that anymore because all of those things have been played out in so many movies that it’s perfectly conformist to be any of those things and still be friends with whomever.
@@theoneandonly4464 she???
He even has a badass 80’s metal haircut.
God bless you and Jesus loves you, RED WELDER
everything from how he just has that confidence and the way he knows how to deliver a good performance is honestly inspiring
❤ seeing young musicians use the old school ways. He’s incredible ! You gotta know he’s going to be in the mainstream soon 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Probably won't get much further than playing in a local cover band, to be honest. But that's fulfilling enough for most musicians. You'd be surprised how many thousands of kids can play guitar like this. Emulation is one thing. Can he write a song?
It's amazing what gifts God gives his children! God is good! Keep rockin buddy!
It's called practice.
Yeah.. God.. 😂😂😂😂
If that's what God gives as gifts then he can keep it.
Everything good comes from the Father above. @@Roman-li8zy
This is great! I know Master, never watched Stranger I’m a musician of 30+ years watching this young musician just rock and he’s loving it. Black guitar, huge amps a Ramon’s look alike with Chuck Taylors on, old school look and feel finally, instead of bro country, rap crap…love it keep rocking kid.. not enough of you out there.
I thought he had a little Page thing going on.
You bringing back the style of the early 80's and rocking it on your guitar is outstanding.I'm 65 and still love rock 'n 'Roll.
Good job thanks dude.🤟.
I'm 64 and I still love rock and roll too.
@@davidb8397 ✌️.thanks.
Dang. Those transitions between some of the songs work really well. And so many classics piled into one medley. Great work.
The fact that this guy can shred like that into different songs is still amazing to this day. ❤
I love that because of stranger things you can throw master of puppets toward the end now and make the crowd go INSANE from recognizing the song. That was almost finale worthy
This guitar 🎸guru decimated it. Stage presence, insanely talented and the black Chuck Taylor's were a nice touch! 👌The kid is going far! Bravo!
On a telecaster… my favourite, respect!
Looks like it might be a John 5 Telecaster.
@@jeffgarland6962 Chrome pickguard, humbuckers and a killswitch. Definitely a John 5 Telecaster.
Clearly, the talent is overflowing, but can we just talk about that showmanship? Love it!
it is increasingly rare to see young people playing guitar with such dexterity!🤘🤘🤘
It's just not the most popular form of music anymore. Times are constantly changing
🤘🏻 not a talent show without this guy.
He WAS the show
HELL YEAH!!! I love seeing the younger kids these days getting into metal, it swells my heart!
That's probably from bacon In Your diet
Makes my booty itch
Fucking Dime! Van Halen! Forever
This kid is not only so very talented musically but he is a born performer. His engaging the students in the stand definitely speaks to him being born to do this. Keep it alive brother!!!
Telecaster AGAIN. They do play great. This guy is the hope for the world. Great job!We love you!!!
This is the standing ovation I wanted to hear from a younger crowed with this genre. I just wished there was more people there
Applause for this gentleman's Mom and Dad!...You obviously did something right!👍
Man I am in awe. This kid is one of the best I've had the pleasure to listen to ever. EVER
The more things change… this kid wouldn’t be out of place with my metal head friends of the class of 1982. He looks like he could be the twin brother of our class guitar player. Rock on brother 🤘🏽
Dude legit brought back man-bangs from the 80’s. YES! 🙌
Remember this name...Bradley Florence!!! Young man you are going to do some big things.
Get that kid an agent soooonnnn!!
Holy crap!!!
This kid can play, like for real. I so hope he goes far if that’s what he chooses. There’s a band that needs him
Kid shows up with a John 5 Telecaster. If you know what guitar that is, you knew exactly where this was going. Good job, Lad.
Fist seconds, a killswitch on a tele, Buckethead tune!?!
Ok, the guy hooked me!
Awesome! I couldn’t look away! 🎉
The kid is amazing. My nephew isn't far out of high school and plays drums. He plays rock and roll from the 70s and 80s.
Shredding so young, brings a tear to my eye and swells me with hope for the future of rockers!!!!
I started as a kiss fan in the 70s, I lived the 80s as it happened, played drums all through the 90s , in bands and I always wished I could find a guy like this! ...he's got it! and just look at his reach around the neck with those long ass fingers, (wish I could've had a guitarist like him) .
This kid is awesome! I grew up in the 80's and wanted to be this dude so bad and could only dream of doing this during a talent show. Keep rockin brother!
I don’t know what’s more impressive, this kid’s chops or all those championship banners hanging behind him
They are all runner up... seems like they woulda won it all once
That put a smile on my face, there's a future for metal! 🤘
Thank you for all of the people who encouraged this young man in his astounding gift!
Excellent performance, you are a ripper young man. We definitely need more of our kind on this planet. Well done.! 🏆
As an 80’s metal head and now an old man…you got my heart proud kid! Enough to comment on a year old post…never stop rockin on! This goes for all of ya! 🤘🏼
SOOOO ecstatic that this generation recognizes and loves the music I was obsessed with as a teenager! He's VERY GOOD!!
I’m also a teenager from italy and i love this old era of music cause simple was the real good one and now what we see even if is an other type of music that will never be able to match her
Damn. This is natural talent paired with I’m guessing countless hours of practice. This kid loves what he does and it shows. Ridiculously impressive.
I love the John 5 tele. Awesome job.
