- I blasted these choir kids faces away with some crisp 1986 thrash
They all looked like eddie the head from iron maiden afterwards

yo i just wanted to take the time to appreciate the immense amount of support that has absolutely come out of nowhere. this video blew up around 2 weeks ago and seeing all the positivity really motivates me to keep on going forward with music as my career!
Also, If any of you are into the new wave of hardcore punk that is taking over, my most recent post was a vocal cover of “cries of pleasure, heavenly pain” by Gulch. It hasn’t been getting much love so i’d appreciate any form of exposure/support for it. here’s the link for whoever’s interested : czcams.com/video/IekVxZNCB0I/video.html
Also, im JUST SAYING, but i went hard as shit; you wouldn’t want to miss it ;)
Dave mustaines guitar lmao
@@niggaaaaaa haha yeah it was the only one i could use at that time, my ibanez was messed up
@@viewycuquito4203 Dude that down picking was on point. 30 years ago I was your age (give or take) and banging out the same song. Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets was all day every day. I can tell by your guitar playing that you know the Metallica style and technique inside and out. Seriously great job, keep it up.
@@Filthy-Felon hell yeah dude, i’ve expanded my music taste a lot since this video was posted but at this time all i would play/practice to were all of those albums you named and the occasional iron maiden track haha. It would be an understatement to say that i was obsessed with metallica.
Thank you for the encouragement and im glad you liked it 🖤 !
@@viewycuquito4203 If you still enjoy playing metal, please tell me you're familiar with Pantera?! The slim chance you aren't you need to listen to 'Cowboys From Hell' the song and album, 'Vulgar Display of Power' and 'Far Beyond Driven'.
Honorable mention - If you like Blues, check out Stevie Ray Vaughan, loads of him on CZcams improvising. You can pick up a lot just watching him play.
Keep expanding the tastes, learning new styles will make your guitar playing even better.
I feel like dusting off the 30 year old Ibanez, the 30 year old Peavey Bandit 112 and making my neighbors either love me or hate me!!
Thanks again for the video, good shit, good memories.
no one in the audience understands how hard this actually is to pull off with not only the rhythm playing but ALSO the vocals AND leads!
The guy in this audience understands lol
he aint playing shit. its playback
@@dekapitatorr prove it LMAO
@@ikon4255 I dont need to prove it, you have ears or this generation is already living in idiocracy since you all believe that he played it. yes he did play few broken cords after interlude but since riffing started he stopped and faked it.
@@dekapitatorr he is literally playing the right notes plus his playing matches the guitar you hear from the amp since there are minuscule variations he throws in that you don’t hear in the studio recording in the background
bro got them Jason Newsted vocals
I can hear some early Hell Awaits Tom Araya honestly
Bro yes
That last scream, though.
sodom vocals
The yeah eh💀
4:14 is one of the best breakdowns in metal history. i love how he headbanged so hard his hat flew off lol he went HARD
The opening tracks on their first four albums are all bangers
Everyone's does.
@@justindc05 Try n do. 'K?
you can’t not headbang to that part. this guy is fucking awesome.
Wake up dead's breakdown is better
you are capable of playing it and singing it, not an easy feat, cheers bro!
playing the riff super tight, singing it really well and nailing the solo all in front of an audience without even a band, just on his own. fucking respect
I always say if you can play battery while singing you are a good guitarist
If you can play Battery you are a good guitarist.
are you seriously think he plays it. he played few cords in the begining and the rest is playback.
@@dekapitatorr You can clearly differentiate the sound what is coming from backing track and what's from his amp. Also from his hands you can clearly see his comfortable playing the riffs and not looking tensed or struggling and has the technique for playing it. I take it that you don't play guitar yourself.
im 45 years old and to see kids still covering old thrash bands from my youth in high school talent shows is pretty damn legit ,,
Metal will alway live on
Yeah well I’m 55 and I agree.
not all hope is lost! 🤘
For our show in April, we're playing sanitarium and bells for the talent show 🙏
This is the best high school talent show performance ive seen
he faked it man. he aint playing a shit.
someone did tornado of souls, look it up its crazy
I got a cool Orion junior high talent show VHS around 1989
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS dude you should post that if possible, sounds interesting!
@@kao9349 i’ve seen that one, its crazy asf
To play the leads, the solo, and sing it all, and only being in high school, that's mad impressive.
As a long time Metallibanger, it brings a tear to my eye to hear a new generation of Metallica-inspired musicians coming into their own. You fucking destroyed that! Keep that shit up! \m/ \m/
Tissue? Crybaby
Metallica has inspired multiple generations of musicians. I’m an older fan as well. The reason I stared playing was the boys in old Metallica.
Dude you've killed it. Hats off to you. You sang it, did the solos, the rythim.
And hell, nice voice!
He was the first with the hat off :D
Literally
4:15 Hats off, Literally Lmao
I wasn't sure during the song's intro how'z this gonna work out... but u killed it, man! 🤘 And I was feeling it when the crowd reacted so positively too 🥺👏
Yeah man in the beginning i tried hitting the harmonics on the 5th fret but failed miserably bc of how nervous my fingers were haha, thank you for the positivity 🖤!
How does it feel having the best battery guitar/vocals cover on the internet and it was live? hahah
playback
@@dekapitatorr ah, I see you're in another thread spewing the same thing huh...
i play and sing in a Metallica tribute act and I can verify that this is one of the toughest songs to play and sing at the same time ..... probably Metallicas toughest. They young fellas got big balls to even attempt this ! I'm suprised he can walk
Dude that was epic! Mad respect for that picking, you were up there with James at his peak!
Bruh💀💀💀
It takes alot of balls do vocals like that too.
the courage, skill and hours put into mastering a song WITH vocals is a lot. Epic!
this is amazing bro great singing AND guitar playing
The kids in the crowd don't know how much of a finesse this is to pull, most adult rock musicians aren't technical enough to do this.
singing while playing a song like battery takes serious talent, well done
Down picking , solo-playing, riffing, singing maniac!! Gotta love it.
This is HHHHHHEEECTTTTIIICCCCCCCCCC man. Absolutely well done. Been listening to Metallica religiously since I was about 8 😂😂😂. What you did is soooo incredibly difficult. And you nailed it. Keep playing, keep writing and keep going. I’ll buy your albums someday.
That crowd does not deserve you my man! Luckily there’s people who appreciate the talent and hard work you put in. Great job!!
I can feel his enthusiasm upon this song and genre. Mad respect ❤
Battery High School is one of my favourite Metallica songs
It’s rumored this guy did the drum backings, but nobody can film that much awesome in one camera footage.
Great job bro. You found a chance to shine and you too full advantage of it
Such a great performance! It would be hard enough to play this in front of a bunch of metalheads, never mind at a school show/assembly. You went all out and confidently delivered! It was a band at a school talent show playing a Nirvana song 25 years ago that got me into alternative/heavy music, so I wouldn't be surprised if you lit a fire in some people in the audience there! Well done!
that was epic man, loved when you added that scream at the end.
And still some people say rock/metal is dead. Its kids like you that keep the wheel rolling, you're awesome!
Everytime I watch Highschool performances, especially of very complex bands like Metallica, I always expect the worst… but this was absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!! Very very well done🤤
“ You might not be ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.”
The head banging at the end of the solo was sickkkk!!💯
Dope seeing a fellow light skin waver shredding on the guitar.🖤🖤💯💯
You absolutely nailed that, incredible work.
It will take the audience years to appreciate what they just witnessed. That was brilliant. James should see this!
It warms my heart to see the younger generation keeping metal alive. Keep rocking, Kid!
Such a great performance, trully filled with metall energy, you nailed it keep going!!!!
Attended Metallica show in 86 Long Beach sports arena. They just blew up after that album. It’s so cool that it’s still appreciated by new generations.
All heart! Uncle James, Uncle Lars and Uncle Kirk are very proud
This is one of the best covers I've ever seen! Hell yeah! 🔥 No one in the crowd understood how hard that would have been to do
Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT job man!!! That was fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing!
Being completely honest i completely forgot to talk them up my mind was too busy trying to head out of the auditorium bc quite literally everyone and their mother kept stopping me to try and talk to me haha, nothing wrong with that but it was a pretty wild experience
Dude! Nice vocals! and damn good guitar skills.
You should try and smoothen the transition from clean to distorted vocals and vice versa. I noted that your high notes are being sung clean, like in the words "Found me".
It's clear that you can reach those notes with distorted singing.
Kickass job man!
I must also add that the fact that you headbanged through the entire breakdown (twice) in a High School talent show, is fucking badass!
he didnt played guitar. its playback
@@dekapitatorr you must be blind to think that. Of course he used a backing track, but his guitar overlaps whatever is playing
@@HerondG I am not blind nor deaf. he is faking it.period
@@dekapitatorr he’s clearly playing it but also has a backing track no shit bruh
This is the most impressive baterry cover I've ever seen. Playing lead guitar, singing, headbanging and not losing the rhythm or the head. Congrats man🤘🏻
no way dude u killed this. love the little james laugh at the end hahaaa
I did not expect you to be singing as well. Super hard. Bitchin performance my guy!
This man’s down picking is not human
This is seriously one of the best things ive seen on the Internet. Metallica rules and so do you!
Kid nailed it I’d love to see a video of anyone who had negative things to say
that’s a great idea, will think about it
Makes you appreciate Hetfield doing this for the past 36 years
He's got balls.
This kid killed it! These people have no idea what they just witnessed.
This was friggin AWESOME!!! Love them brutal ass vocals.
I've been playing this song on my axe since the 80's. Glad to see one sole has been saved from the puppets!
Man had the balls to do vocals
You had me blown away man for real !!! Especially with your slayer screams 💀😅💪💪 and growls I'm always a metal head and I'm glad you are
Someone get this man a Marshall!
Wow, man...
I was 14 when I played my 1st show. We opened up and the other bands were much older, (we were all 14); this is back in 1991. We were called morgAtory...
I grew up in the Disco Era, so my 2 older brothers listened to Kiss, Led Zep, The Cars...etc. I got into Iron Maiden and AC/DC; then in 1986 I first heard Metallica: Master of Puppets. The 1st song blew me away, Battery, and opened up other faster heavier bands down the line. That was the 1st time I ever heard a thrash beat. We played lots of big shows and sorry to say that was before cell phones and CZcams was invented.
We broke up around 1999, my father passed and record labels were interested- but I already started partying way too hard; it wasn't from peer pressure, I was looking for something that I felt I lost inside and thought I found it in drugs. I was 19 when I first started and I started on heroin.
In you I see myself untainted by the years and driven to the point where I played my guitar for 10 hours to learn Slayer's Raining Blood by ear, no tab. I hope that you don't waste your young life, and throw it away like I did. There's so much you can do, and you have the internet at your disposal; I didn't have that, we had " word of mouth " - people used to always talk about how good we were and original. Someone asked if I wanted to re record all the old songs and I said yes, definitely; because we weren't ever given a chance. I am going to give it another shot but a stroke took my picking skills from me and I am starting to get them back. I chose the "hard work" on guitar. Hopefully we will be heard. I enjoyed watching you and just for a second I saw myself in you, the straight young kid with nothing to prove with so much to prove. If you want to hear us, check out our song " Home Is Where The Hate Is ", one of the only surviving things from 1998 (it's on my page, with the big m and morgAtory written across the front)
I hope that you read this. Take good care and God bless
killed it bro, best cover ever
This guy is a fucking legend. It’s not an easy song to be gem with but he played this so cleanly and well. Not to mention also doing lead vocals with this! 🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
Hella great! You rock, my dude!
Love screaming.. outfit is like mine late 80.s 😀 Hope people found this, great performance 🤘🤘🤘 Metallica
AMAZING GUY 😮😮😮 I'm Brazilian and I was impressed with how he managed to play and sing, very good vocals, congratulations, hugs from Brazil
Growing up through school back in my time I wish I knew how to play better than I had known back then to do stuff like this. Hats off to you man, you’re a inspiration
I am a hard core metallica fans for 3 decades, playing battery is one of the most fun songs to play in guitar for me, the double triples on the galope on the riff makes me happy for some reason, and you not only nailed it but also singing on top on that riff takes so much practice and what to say about the leads with the solos, you did justice to that song at a such young age, what a joy was to come across your video, keep on going because you're not only talented but obviously you're a very dedicated and hard working guy and it shows. Congrats 🤘🤘
I started messing with my classmates guitar at the end of high school. Didn’t take me long to figure out how to play but I was nowhere near what this guy has achieved at this young age covering THIS PARTICULAR SONG!! It’s been over thirty years and I still can’t do what he does. Respect and all pride goes to this young man!
James wants his ‘yeahs’ back
Honestly bro you killed it,
hats off
How insane was that growl at the end! Woah!!
Good job dude! Hell yeah rock on 🤟🤟
Excellent job, please get into a band and bring the heavy!
12/10 plus bonus points for your Eddie the Head reference. Outstanding effort!
Quick… somebody… WHAT YEAR IS IT? This is what our high school talent show was like in 93! I fucking love that 80s thrash made a comeback. Fuck yeah. Killer cover- that’s a fucking hard song!! Crazy time signatures and the solo ffs. Good job man!!! Now go get your left ear pierced and sew an Iron Maiden back patch on your jacket… you’ve earned it.
Whoever can sing and play this u get my respect. Awesome vox btw
Glad to see kids still getting into metal. I was about 30 years late myself, never too late, found exodus last year, seen them twice in last 18 months. Amazing live, even made my #1 bucketlist item, to mosh at rage against the machine when i was 46
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS ! damn man that was sickkkk
the song itself is already insane to play, but bro is singing and doing the leads.
shame on these people for not losing their minds
This shi is absolutely amazing!, as a biginner guitarist and someone who loves to perform i got to say this is the best fucking thing ever seen.
I really appreciate it boss!
I, for once, thank the algorithm that has brought me here.
Always a treat when young kids play music from the past. Awesome!
This....this is really good. So so much harder than it looks. Well done. James and kirk would be proud.
Found my new video to get psyched for the day. Absolutely brilliant, OMG 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow, please never stop! That was metal af 🤘¡Tan orgullosa de ti mijo!
İf Death wrote Battery, AMAZİNG
as a life long Metallica fan and a drummer - i fuckin love this mate
Oh my god. You are my new hero. I’ve seen soooo many videos of talent show covers of Metallica songs that sound ok, but there’s always something missing. Or something they slightly messed up. Even though some of them were still great, they were never perfect. This is perfect. You’ve achieved absolute perfection. I don’t think there will ever be a cover of Battery this good again. You have completely blown my mind.
That turned out alot better than I expected. 🤟🤟
Sticking his tongue out at the end was epic 🙌🏻
that downpicking is nuts dude
Yeeeeeeah. Bringing the metal to the kids and soccer moms. Love it. When I was in High School a band covered Warpigs and shocked everyone. This is so great because it’s just one guy.
Epic performance 🤘🤘
Hell yeah good job kid. Glad to see the classics are still inspiring another generation of metal
The soundtrack of my youth and you nailed it!
this is literally so good great job man
This guy has a future in metal music keep rockin man
I really didnt expect him to start singing
damn
this was so fucking awesome. I enjoyed every second man, insane playing that was perfect, your voice is killer too!!
This was amazing. Vocals almost remind me of Chuck Schuldiner. Cool sound. Great job man!
Haha thank you so much! My vocals have gotten WAY better since then and chuck is the singer that everyone compares me to. My harsh vocals were heavily inspired by him as Death was the first band i genuinely liked with extreme vocals. If it weren’t for him i wouldn’t be where im at right now. I owe it to him!
The fact that you said “Battery”, and no one reacted, made me sad… it’s only one of the best album openers in Metal history!
But holy shit dude, I didn’t expect vocals too! Definitely killed it. 🤘🏼
It takes huge cojones to get up on stage all alone & do this - there's a little bit of "fudge" in the performance but he commits to it - it's an aggressive, driving song that demands a confident and aggressive performance. This kid delivered with power and that's the most important thing. His screams got chuckles from the adults because they don't appreciate how musical that can be if done correctly in a metal context. This kid has got "it" when it comes to being a front-man in a metal band. never stop kiddo, you can do great things if you go about it the right way. That energetic & confident vibe of yours is key, never lose it.
This guy is killing it
I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
Awesome job on one my favorite songs ever! Love playing that main riff!
You have Hetfields quick downpick! It takes balls and talent to pull this off, keep it up!
