Ok, here we are almost a yr after the last talent show.
This is my son Mike (guitar) & his friend Weston (drums) @ their 9th grade talent show. They had to perform in under 5 minutes so they compiled some of their favorite bits in Master of Puppets and sort of came up with a MOP medley you might say?
Thanks for watching! Oh and... they got 1ST PLACE!! Good job guys!! \m/ Woot!!

and youtube recommended this ABSOLUTE PIECE OF ART TO ME NOW????
You can thank stranger things for that I guess lol
@@parkerdalrymple4398 lol yeah! but i do love Metallica and i guess they saw that on my searches
IKR ME TO
LITERALLY
BRUH I KNOW
I am 14 years late but damn they killed it.
Same
Me too
Agreed! My son tells me he plays the skin flute so well, but ihavent seen it myself. His grandad told hes the best skin flute player in at least a hundred years. Im hoping to see how well he plays it. He told me he usually only plays it for nursing home men. It helps them hang on. So proud.
Same
Agreed
I was so impressed by how on point both the drummer and guitarist were that I was thinking "even if they don't play the solo, they still killed it" but then they built up to the solo and my jaw hit the floor. The solo was incredible! I'm just mad I got this recommended to me 14 years after it was posted lol
100%
“Let the jaws hit the floor! Let the jaws hit the floor! Let the jaws hit the….FLOOOOOOOOOOOR!”
It really is amazing
Those two should have been drowning in cooter after that.
Rhythms done right, but whole sections were skipped. The solo was wrong. Nothing to see here.
The fact that these guys are now nearing 30 yrs old is insane.
i'm only a couple years younger than these guys so please do not make such comments in my presence. i'm still in my mid 20s okay you cant take that way from me!!!!

This brings a tear to my eye. Well done, young men!!
I was a longhaired D&D nerd, metalhead in the 80's. Metallica was OUR band. We didn't care that all the cool kids thought it was noise, in fact we loved it.

These kids deserved first place. This is some real talent. They are so good at their instruments. If they aren't in band, I'll be even more impressed. This is encouraging me to start practicing my guitar again, and hopefully get this good. And the fact they played this song fast enough to fit in in a performance under five mintes! The original song it twice as long, at 8 minutes!! They definitely deserved first place.
The best part being that he learned this all in an hour using Simply Guitar!

This gets recommended 14 years later... this is crazy, a lot of memories passing through my mind...
Probably because of stranger things
most likely cause of stranger things
for real
it’s because of stranger things.
Cry harder
i may be watching this 16 years after all people, but this a master peace
Both of these guys can probably find success in a band together. They were on point and in sync with each other for the whole song, and that is NOT easy to do for any song, let alone this one
I’m most impressed with the kids guitar tone. Nothing to note about the drummer, which considering he was 14yo, is actually a great thing. Solid tempo keeping and no flubs .
the dude’s 28 now jeez
What’s that supposed to mean i am 13 and play to?
@@kikithewitch8252 i played when i was 13 too. i sucked. not a whole lot of 13yo drummers are great at it by that point. so in that regard, and this kid being 14, no news is good news.
“nothing to note about the drummer” *continues to note about the drummer* 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@kikithewitch8252 honestly i don’t think it means anything. you can be good at any age tbh just bc they weren’t doesn’t mean you aren’t or can’t be. keep it up
I think the reason the drummer looks so big is because we're only used to seeing the top of little Lars' shiny head behind a kit
Pj harwood the toms aren’t covering his neck and there aren’t 50 of them
Made my night. Cheers.
shiny head😂😂😂😂
Lol
Naaa, the set is too Big for him.
I wish we could bring talent shows like this back lol
most of the kids today are just talented in making tik tok videos
Facts, kids these days can’t do shit😂😂
@@victorbarrales6654I’m 14 and I can play a good amount of guitar. It isn’t that kids aren’t talented in things, it’s that schools don’t hold these kinds of events anymore (atleast in my area)
last talent show I went to had someone play keyboard and stuff, there was nobody who could even come close to this though
i wish my talent shows were like this. I played the end part of One by Metallica with my drummer friend logan and my guitarist friend Ale and my bassist friend charlie. I was on lead guitar. We were in 10th grade at the time and we did it perfectly but our dumbass school gave the first place and second place awards to little kids and one of them was a second grader who sounded like they were tapping random keys on their piano for 2 minutes straight.
Sorry that happened to you. Sounds like the talent show didn’t separate into age groups.
Legend has it they drowned in a sea of training bras after this
LMAOOO
HAHAHAHAHA
Very funny
LMFAO

lol thx
the way that shit sounds definitely craftsman
When a kid in 9th grade is twice as good a guitarist as you.
Blueclue - No, it’s just painful
Well yeah probably because he's been playing longer than you and if anything kids learn faster than adults so don't beat your self up.

@@speediablo cool, keep it up! I know it's hard with home work and stuff but there is still time \m/

I like to come back to this video every couple of weeks. As an (almost) 9th grader myself who is a beginner-intermediate guitarist, you’re a massive inspiration to me. Awesome cover.
With a lot of talent, Master of Puppets is one of the hardest songs to play. Even adults get tired!!!
Doesn't the drummer look a bit big for that set lmao

Hey! Thank you so much! 👊🤙
He just broke the eleventh commandment:
"Thou shall not playeth master of puppets with alternate picking"
You have made my year
Oh my god lol
It’s all good, I guess
Yes, he did. The song is played with all downstrokes. Technically, alternate picking isn’t accurate for the song however, it doesn’t matter to me because it’s difficult to get through if you stick to only downpicking which requires a lot of stamina.
It's never mattered to me it sounds the same whether you down pick or alternate
Damn these guys are 26 now, only reason I know this is cause they were a grade above me when me and all my friends who saw this were in 8th grade (12 years ago) wanted to do the same thing for our middle school talent show. I'm now 25 and it feels super weird large parts of my childhood memories have been immortalized by the internet.

Shoutout to the jury as well for correctly grading the boy's performance!
15 / nearly 16 years later and this gets recommended to me.
Why did I not find this sooner!
For a pair of 9th graders, with no vocals, no 2nd guitar and bass. ....in front of their whole school. ....They killed it!
They condensed it a little bit because of being only 1 guitar by skipping the middle interlude. Much easier to pull it off that way, needs 2 guitarists for it to sound right, so they made the right decision. Missing the other two players threw them out of timing with each other right after the solo, but hey......stuff happens, right?Throw two more talented kids in there with them, and I am willing to bet that they would have nailed it in its entirety!
Great job!
Impalaman1968. My car is a 71 stang with 429 988 hp. Rebuilt numbers matching. Pic is in my profile
There's also no way it would have sounded good at all without the bass in the interlude. You could potentially make it work playing the main line doubled on two strings but without the bass with notes that high it would just make the room feel dead.
i think the kid on guitar downpick the whole thing(except solo of course) just like James did which is pretty hard
And no monitors... a lot of so called pro musicians couldn't even play without monitors
@John Constantine "Metallica didn’t need bass" how? Most metallica songs are lifeless without bass + all their bass players have been an important part of songwriting.
14 years and still seeing this. If mom still checks this account then I gotta say you raised one hell of a kid. Hope he’s doing well and still playing! ❤️
9nth grade!?! I'm in 8th grade and I seriously can not imagine ever getting that good at guitar
We all can agree that these guys will always be cooler then me but the camera quality makes it so much better
Just saying, i see a lot of people shitting on the guitarist kid for having expensive stuff and thats just ignorant.
Main reason the kids i knew growing up had expensive gear was usually because they had a relative that played. The only kids i knew that had expensive gear simply because of rich parents usually werent this good.
And yeah you can rag on him a bit cause its not perfect, but i couldnt come close to playing this at his age. Its a very difficult song, and those whove never played on stage, if you havent practiced it to the point of muscle memory, youre going to fuck something up.
Give the kid a break, he killed
Dern Tillamisu Agreed. I played on shitty equipment when I started (and I still use the same beginner guitar and practice amp) but I think it’s awesome that this kid has the opportunity to use this equipment. If you have the skills to justify getting good gear, who’s to say you don’t deserve to play with it?
Dern Tillamisu Very well said, 100% agree
Word. And this kids Amp setting didn't look that expensive. Looked like a cheap head on a regular Marshall cab. The guitar was probably the most expensive part of his setup with it being a Vai signature axe. people shit on other peoples gear when they get jealous of talent or money. Who cares what the kid plays on? He ripped! I agree with you 100%
Honestly Kirk's playing isn't much better these days.
Dern Tillamisu he messed up in places but most professionals do from time to time on stage it just a quirk of the industry lol its how you deal with them that determines pulled the performance off or not lol
As for the equipment I still use the guitar I pulled out a dumpster and restored lol even a crappy £5 off ebay can sound half decent with a good musician
