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.
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.
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 ...
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.
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!
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.
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.
My all time favorite RUclips video! And my first!! I discovered an amazing talent and I followed her through other challenges, which she breezed through!
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 🤘
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
MidWest Concert Video Actually she now plays in a band called Catfight who mostly plays summer street festivals and private shows. Having a great time with it.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Lauren is not with Serendipity any more. She is with Catfight which played a ton of festivals last summer. Not so much anymore, unfortunately.
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.
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 ;)
Search through my channel, I've got more than 1,800 videos so I'll probably have a few songs that you love. The AllStars are the best musicians in the program.
MidWest Concert Video In a way its quite arty but I appreciate the difficulty in poor light. Sounds great though. Loving your videos. Spent about 2 hours just tonight. It's now 140am here in the UK so best get some sleep 😂👍
My Daughter is there age and liked writing and knitting and I had all the gear. 5 guitars and 3 amps and she took up Bass and did well and played live. Did awesome and a accomplished Chellow player and now shes a Psychologist. Shes still my rock star.
The lead guitarist Lauren Conner is an "AllStar" - the very top of the program - and went on tour last year, playing a whole bunch of venues and Lollapalooza. She also won a shredding contest at Summerfest. She's definitely going to have a career in music.
Despite rumors, nobody kidnapped these kids and forced them to learn how to play like this - they did it on their own (with a bunch of help from their teachers at the School of Rock.)
Interestingly, this was happening about the same time as Tyler Thenstedt and Judah Sweig making a splash with Country Rock and Classic Rock Music videos!
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.
I hope the gal on guitar gets discovered! She’s got a lot of talent. Hope she continues to push her music career.😎
Yeah man, she's better than me and I've been playing (off and on, anyway) for nearly 20 years at this point, lol.
That's Lauren Connor on guitar. She's one of my favorite guitarists. She has her own RUclips channel. I believe she's a music teacher. now
Lauren Conner is in control of the guitar cool sound she's good
jeez! - and they played just a bit too fast! so cool to see!
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.
@@crazytoonmofo Sounds right to me
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.
Same
41 and still feeling it
Same here. I'm 43 and MoP was my first exposure to metal \m/

I'm 59. These kids are killing it! Awesome...
Lauren Conner is a great guitarist, effortless playing and obviously having fun. See you on the Avenue Lauren.
im in love with that lead guitar
but, he's playing rhythm.
@@areyouavinalaff but he's talking about lead...
She has a big fan base. That Red hair and plaid headband are her signature.
The whole band does a great job, but Lauren kills it, amazing...
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 ...
the red head guitar player is flawless. Have seen her in several vids and amazing.
She'll be going out on tour with the School of Rock AllStars at the end of July.
Well deserved!
this was Lauren Connor and Fabian Vergara's coming out party!! They got noticed for their parts in this performance!!
Hopefully big things in both of their futures. They are really good.
@@peteguard3571 Yes!! Although Lauren had more success than Fabian, they both got noticed and continued to ply their wares!
Early in my School of Rock adventure I discovered a GEM!! Lauren Connor became known as a master guitar player!!!
After all of these years, this is still my most favorite School of Rock video!
I think this and the Changes video with Celia Porter got me hooked on School of Rock!!
thanks for making an old guy feel young again
mattyp3400 I'm 56, and seeing these kids Rock out keeps me young as well. Glad you dug it!
They weren’t born when this song came out. In fact, some of their parents probably bought this on vinyl. Haha
Who are you calling old?
I'm pretty sure we had cassette tapes then.
Hehe even the lead guitar fails where like in the original :D
Awesome! The girl 🎸 player is smokin! She has got it down.......and i have been playing guitar literally all my life......keep it up!
I like how zaid is playing the drums with those faces,CAUSE THEY KNOW THEY'RE KILLIN IT!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
so hard hearing this without James' voice laying over the top in my head... it's just so ingrained into my brain.
Yeah definitely. She didn't do it justice
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.
Both Lauren and Fabian had great careers in School of Rock and Allstars !!
I even saw Eva in a later video!!
This gets my vote for the best performance by a SoR team hands down!
Love that redhair guitarrist, amazing talent. she could be in any metal band of her choosing...
The production on this is pretty good!! I’m impressed!!! Some Attitude, some energy!!, I would’ve been proud to play with these guys!!
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!
Phenomenal! The female guitarist is going places! Wicked solos!!
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.
Now I know it is a Paul Smith brand guitar!!
Lauren Conner looking like a seasoned rock goddess !!
Still my #1 Favorite School of Rock video !!!

This video got me hooked on School of Rock videos!!
It's still one of my favorites!!
did i see
alternate picking ?
Blasphemy
HERESY!
Yep. And done with a smile.
This is a sin !!!
Great. That had everything going for it. Lauren played those solos perfectly note for note too.
Ken Wheeler she’s the goat
Was not note for note
absolutely not a clean solo lol. She missed so many notes
You must be tone deaf or never heard the original lmao
They give me back faith in music
Dude!! This is the best cover of MoP!! Hands down for the big SOLO!
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 🤘
Lauren you are BADASS, Big things in your future!
Lauren Conner превосходна... Талант.
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
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.
MidWest Concert Video Actually she now plays in a band called Catfight who mostly plays summer street festivals and private shows. Having a great time with it.
Jeff Conner I was just gonna say🤘
Paul Darling unreal
awesome, the whole band!
I’m so so Seriously impressed
Yhis is the video that introduced me to the supreme talent of Lauren Connor and Fabian Vergara.
Lauren has her band Serendipity, but unfortunately they're trying to get started at a very bad time.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Lauren is not with Serendipity any more. She is with Catfight which played a ton of festivals last summer. Not so much anymore, unfortunately.
The smile on the girl guitarist ! Freakin' rocks man !
OMG Lauren you are the best my girl. I Love You.
The female lead has that rare quality called "presence." Not many do, especially at her age.
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.
This young lady probably has a great career in rock if she wants it.
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
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 ;)
I don't think I've ever seen a School of Rock cover any Be Bop Deluxe. I'll pass the suggestion along.
I'had never heard of the Chicago school of Rock ,But now i have and all I can say is WOW!
Lauren just gets better and better , bravo !
The song it self is not a fav of mine but these kids were so outstanding, I just wanted hear them play it through. Bravo Zulu!
Search through my channel, I've got more than 1,800 videos so I'll probably have a few songs that you love. The AllStars are the best musicians in the program.
I can’t get over these guys!!! Fabulous job!! Outfuckin stang
This is my most favorite School of Rock video!
MASTER!!! MASTER!!! MASTER OF PUPPETS!!! Classic! Lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve it!!
This is a TERRIBLE venue to shoot video in. She's literally being lit solely by my cell phone flashlight!
MidWest Concert Video In a way its quite arty but I appreciate the difficulty in poor light. Sounds great though. Loving your videos. Spent about 2 hours just tonight. It's now 140am here in the UK so best get some sleep 😂👍
Thank you and good night.
And that kids , is how you make music ! Live , killing and shredding !
Geniales me encanta la guitarrista se nota que es la líder tiene un gran talento también la banda suena increíble!!!! 🤘🤘🎸🎶🎵
The epic battle of the titans! Fabian went on to some fame. Lauren went on to GREAT FAME!!
Actually, Fabian won the war and Lauren won the battle!
outstanding
Needs more downstrokes lol. but seriously seeing the young gen rock to my gen's Metal is awesome! Now go play SLAYER!!!
Lauren Conner The Beeest !!!!! Saludos from Argentina !!!
My face just melted!
Still listen to this a lot
Wow. That girl on the red axe shreds. Kudos to the rest of the band.
Great job to all of you
YES!
I love it!
great music !!!!
Awesome. Good energy
Holy shit Lauren you are a star allready
Metal will never die that’s one fact
Sybreeds Not if these kids have anything to say about it.
A potent cobo, Eva, Damian, Lauren, and Zaid.
OOPS, that's Fabian, not Damien. Sorry! There's so many talented kids, it's hard to remember all of them!!
Everybody talks about Lauren, she is amazing but so the others!
Phenomenal!!!!
I even saw a video recently with Eva as the singer!
Yhis video launched the SoR careers of FOUR future AllStars and more!!
NICE JOB PEOPLES...........LOVE TO SEE YA IN CALI...PLAY @ THE PALIDINOS.....RESEDA CA.......
Thank God this is our future!!!
GREAAAAAAAAAT JOB guys CONGRATS
My Daughter is there age and liked writing and knitting and I had all the gear. 5 guitars and 3 amps and she took up Bass and did well and played live. Did awesome and a accomplished Chellow player and now shes a Psychologist. Shes still my rock star.
Lauren is dope as per usual
Amost to the 110 thousand views mark! I'm doing my part viewing every day, sometimes twice!
DAMN!!!! These kids have been at this a while! =D

James Hetfield,here is your future drummer,,great awesome sound,,guitar and Bass damn!
Masterpiece
Awesome kids
The video that launched the careers of both Fabian and Lauren !!!
AND the video that got me hooked on School of Rock videos/music !!!
I was just now watching a RUSH video and I noticed that Alex Lifeson plays the same brand of guitar as Lauren Connor does!!!!
This girl here @ 7:42. You see those fingers of hers? Wow! Man she sure can cover some frets!
WWWOOOOWWW, AMAZING!!!
I wish I can play guitar that good when I was her age. Damn.. I think I still cant play as good as her at my age... 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Despite rumors, nobody kidnapped these kids and forced them to learn how to play like this - they did it on their own (with a bunch of help from their teachers at the School of Rock.)
the new school is coming along fine
very good
Interestingly, this was happening about the same time as Tyler Thenstedt and Judah Sweig making a splash with Country Rock and Classic Rock Music videos!
ALL of these kids from Chicago made it big in School of Rock and further!!!
That was fun !!!!
Can’t stop won’t stop 🙌
👌Smokin 🔥🔥 lead 🎸 !!! 👍👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wonderful! Keep it going!
Hope you post more videos from this band.
Martín Fasanelli I plan to post 4 videos from each show, trying to make sure I get at least one performance by each student in the show.
Great! Cheers from Argentina.
Lauren!!!
These kids have so much talent, it's scarey!!
HUH< I always assumed they both had the same brand of guitar since they looked alike. Fabian's clearly is marked Fender and Lauren's is NOT!!
The girl singing is great. Of course, Loren is excellent on guitar !!
That drummer makes this song. Loren and the singer are great, but that drummer is really good!!
Love that kids hell
👏👏👏🤘
Holy shit! The rhythm guitar licks are perfect. The vocals not so... but the guitars... this young lady is great!
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.
Amazing!
I'd like to see Lauren Conner go to a Foo Fighters concert and get called on stage and shock the shit out of them.
The girl with the red guitar!!! :o I'm your fan.
She's Lauren Conner and she's going to have a hell of a career in music.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 oh, thank you!!!!
