Rest in peace, John. January 01, 1934 - May 14, 2023. He was an absolute legend and will be remembered for many years to come.
Sad but lived a great life what a legend
No way :( did he really pass????!
Legend. If anything is on the other side, I hope you bang many little skanks.
NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!! HE DIED ON MY BIRTHDAY
Gone but will never be forgotten...
A man that truly gives no fucks anymore
wifebeater69 propably the best feeling in the world
wifebeater69 your so correct
wifebeater69 what could he possibly wish more...hes life is complete damn
Not one single fuck given.
Haha you made my day dude that is so true and hilarious 😂
Love how all the metalheads immediately stood up at the same time!!! You rock grandpa! 🔥
"Love how it was edited...."
@@Warrigtit is not
I really wanna like this comment but i cant bring myself to do it with the number of likes it has.. \m/
I made it 667 😂😂😂
R.I.P. he died of a heart failure on May 14 2023 old man definitely become a legend
Let the body set the flow
Bless him and may he rock on in peace
RIP Legend.
RIP legend
He didn’t come here to win, he came here to live.
"Hello, Clarice"
Yes! And he will be remembered far more than whomever actually won it. Show stealer, life liver.
I have zero complaints
appropriate song for someone about to drop dead of old age
@@joesmith5159 💀💀💀
Half the audience; "omg wtf that poor deluded old man"
The other half; *FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR*
Lol I love your picture
This comment wins
Right? He’s not deluded, he’s just a genuine bad ass reminding us all not to give a fuck 😊
my new hero! 🙌
and the old man: I totally punked all of y'all's asses.
FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He did what he wanted to do, had fun and that's what matters. Rest in peace, king.
Are you sure the old man's passed away?
@@HEAVYMETALmovie1981sadly true. A quick Google search brings up his obituary from may of last year.
@@HEAVYMETALmovie1981no but he is sure he wants the likes from lying about it
@@man-by9izThis was 7 years ago, he’s dead af
Considering that his generation
invented Heavy Netal,
Contemporary Gothic Culture,
and Poetry Rock..
he has every right to sing this song.
Rock on brother 🤟🏿
I agree that he has every right to sing this song, but...
Heavy Metal began in the late 60s when this man was already in his late 30s.
Contemporary Gothic culture began in the late 70s when he was in his 40s.
I'll admit, I couldn't find anything on poetry rock, and I'm not even sure what it is, but I would be willing to bet that it also began around that same time based on some Google searches.
He was born in 1934. His generation did not invent anything Metal. If anything, they brought us swing and doo-wop.
he has every right to sing this no matter his age wdfym
You sir have some research to do cuz his generation did not invent heavy metal, not even close.
@@Chosen_One yup. at most i can agree that his generation pioneered roots of rock music but you could say that for other genres then. i'm actually impressed at how he still knew about (and liked) this song since it came out when he was well into his 60s!
Và chier ti-cul , t'auras peut-être pas l'opportunité de te rendre là connard !
Never in my life have I had such a clear picture of who I want to be when I'm 82.
🙏❤️
I feel Sorry for you
If I can't be like him when I'm 82, then I don't want to live to be 82
Same
*If you make it to 82
Grandpa's having WW2 flashbacks again..
You killed me daamn it 😂😂😂
@Oliver Queen A funny ass joke
Too much 😂👍
plot twist: *he enjoyed ww2*
RanDumClips He’s too young to have served in the Second World War
He died because his balls became to heavy after this moment. Legendary. Rip.
😂😂😂😂
The lyrics of a lot of these songs really match senior citizens well, just like when Johnny cash covered hurt. The music takes on a new meaning. As an 80 year old I can only imagine looking around you and noticing how many of your friends are hitting the floor
nahhhhh😂
Yeas especially since 2021
*please stand for the national anthem*
National anthem of 2008
One is up and standing,Ms...but i think he don't have ears to hear what you are saying...
Yes papi
Yess lmfao😂😂😂😂
@@BastanVideos 2007
82 years old… Rocket scientist… Navy Pilot… Karaoke Star… Legend.
May he live a great life until he is 100 . His attitude will keep him young at heart .
And he still can give a big lesson to a lot of young boys nowadays.
So.... Buckaroo Banzai
He’s lived a full, awesome life!!
I wish I could accomplish one of those
Young at heart, the body has no choice but to follow. Rock on, Legend! 💗
Your a legend to
He knew he wasn’t gonna win anything, dude went on live television to be a legend, respect
Florida?
Why win and become a star when you live freely and become a legend?
The best thing that ever happened on this show. Dude is the definition of a legend.
Yes
Ikr
Just like his hip, this man is totally metal.
Underrated comment lol
LMAOOOOo
@@HauntedASMR hello!
@@taylorzesiger8168 Hey there!
@@HauntedASMR hey there!
I have nothing but total respect for this man! And I'm so thankful that all these responses are so respectful! You all rock!!!!
This man always remembers me, that i still have to live to listen to metal.
That man has accomplished far more than those celebrity judges ever will in thier lifetimes but the old man had one last thing to check off on his bucket list...... and that was to rock out on AGT! 😎
Mission accomplished sir 💯🎯
Moral of the story; live your life to the fullest.
Richard Vargas this dude can’t say he didn’t!
And what a life he's live.
Dude so true, even if he failed he still covered something on his bucket list
Moral of the story; learn to sing before going to talent shows
MrJohnny56789 Pursuing what you want in life > Maturity. I hope that man is making all of the death metal bands wet with his saggy balls of steel.
His age only proves that Metal will NEVER die!
Unfortunately he's probably dead
@@kristofb5013 Nope he he's still alive and rocking!
@@michaelscherer8172 in heaven
**troll face**
Christopher Lee made two metal albums before his death. One was a historical themed album, and the other as Christmas songs
Lol he was the old man from the drowning pools bodies
This is the literal definition of enjoying life. Huge respect.
It doesn't matter how old you are, how good you are at it.
If you love metal, you are one of all of us and we stand behind you.
RIP
I bet that dude was a badass pilot
Jason Dye fr Xd
He made bodies hit the floor
Don't shoot at the civilians,huh,you should tell that a five minutes earlyer...
-Yeah, In Vietnam-
sain678 those bodies were flaming metal
I'm 82, I was an aerospace engineer, I worked on a space telescope, and now LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOORRRRRRRR... epic!
man that´s incredible.
Dont you see the irony? First he brings you up, then he lets you hit the floor 😂😂😂😎
@@johannesdatblue4164 Everybody was standing! He rose the roof!
Youre a liar
NASA safety officer too.
This guy is a national Treasure.
What an absolute chad, they were left speechless by this mans sheer willpower
As a 61 year old man who’s into death metal this dude makes me feel good.
What bands do you listen to?
@@HardBloodNelza For death metal that would include Antidemon, Konvent, Crypta, Frantic Amber, Spirit’s Breeze, Mortification; for other types of metal I would say Infected Rain, Jinjer, Living Sacrifice, Assassin and others. I am also a classical musician.
@@sannhetiblodet2813 dang those are all pretty esoteric. How did you hear about them? Also cool!
@@HardBloodNelza Through Christian sources, Encyclopaedia Metallum, You Tube, and other websites.
@@sannhetiblodet2813 hey old man, give Lorna Shore - to the hellfire a listen. You might enjoy it
Damn a man born in 1934 singing a metal song from 2001. Now I’ve seen it all
and nailing it!
Two words..... 9.....11
what's even funnier is that the song came out the same year he most likely retired😂
Immortal gods
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He makes 82 looking like an awesome piece of the pie.
He actually got to sing this song with Drowning Pool live in concert not long after this!!😆🤘🤘
No!!!! Really?????
@@j-bird97 yep!
Wow, that’s incredibly cool!
@@j-bird97 czcams.com/video/JHbGPPpEikU/video.html
@@j-bird97 haha, yes!
The most metal grandpa ever..
Love it..
the fact he got to perform with the drowning pool is amazing
Pardon, 'Christopher Lee.' That said, I do believe that this man may well be the second most metal grandpa ever. Super awesome career, did a lot for science... Christopher Lee released metal albums and also fought in WWII as well as was a legend in films. I hope the man in the vid is doing well and enjoying his fame. I bet he regularly gets some looks and entertaining reactions when he goes to karaoke and sings that song because it sure as shit is unexpected lol Awesome stuff!
And the most metal song ever
Yes!!
czcams.com/video/LBwAHoX1WEg/video.html
These guys are proactive, educated, progressive, always pushing themselves to conquer any challenge--Its not surprising, in that context, that this dude totally digs metal--& Has no problem, at any age, performing it, just because he wanted to!.....Absolutely love it! 🥰🖤💀
@@austinap2248 ✌️💖✊
He’s still young at heart lol
All the metal heads showed themselves as soon as floooooorr 😂😂
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🤣
That’s how it goes 😂
I like how half the crowd was like omg wtf is wrong with him, and the other half was loving it
metalheads unite 🩷
@@charlottesgirlfriendhell yeah 🤘
He has talent. Try and ask anybody to sing that song out loud at the age of 82 and see if they can still manage to live another hour.
im 35 and i cant scream as the way he does.
Right, most 80 year olds have hearing issues too and the voice is more fragile, that is Very impressive.
I did that song at karaoke once and almost passed out by the end. The only body about to hit the floor was mine.
Right?
Someone that's not a practiced singer with decades of experience still having the lungs to sing vocals like that at 82 is damn impressive.
I'd still sing it, with the growls intended at 90. I got hmmm 55 years to go til then.
This is my husbands uncle. He just passed away :( so fun that he impacted so many people through this song ❤
You cannot deny that he came from the greatest generation! ❤
Everyone who stood up and rocked passed the vibe check. It didn't need to be the best cover, it just needed to be fun and awesome!
Absolutely 💯 I was rocking out at work
But it WAS the best cover.
and inspiring..
It was good though
Yes!!!
He really went there to assert his dominance 😂
😂😂
No it's about having fun he's living his life
@@nicoleavery7238 It was a joke. Damn.
I can imagine Jet Li/Gabriel Yulaw came in and start kicking ass v Security guard.
Reference for those who watched "THE ONE".
@@unconventionalworldofrock People don't understand jokes no more lol
This sir already finished the main story, now he is just doing the side missions
Man i just loved his energy, RIP legend
He may not have won, but he did succeed in putting a smile on millions of faces.
Omg this is incredible
❤❤❤🙏
No
That's really what counts.
@@chad6326 he’s more of a chad than you, sorry man I know it’s a hard pill to swallow
When im old , i want to be grandpa like this! 😄😄😄
I will
Me too
I know how to growl and do a bunch of vocals like this I can't wait to shock ppl when I'm this old 😂
Too late! U just died! ! Without doing shit! !
...Better luck next time ! ....Unless you aren't a Hindi, & believe in reincarnation. Sorry...ima bbaadd, nutjob,kinda person.... I think. When I look into a mirror & see an old man I am confused! ....is that me?? Or is it all an illusion for we " all " are simply a type of computer code, in a simulation of the most strange, indeed! Why? Why is anything? Why would chemical elements come together in such a strange and most unique way as to create the basic building blocks of " life " ? Amino-acids, & odd proteins & such to do anything? They cannot! Dirt is dirt, water is water, & eletricity itself, the same. It would take something More to make something more . It would take a " God " or creator or something to start all this vast universe we all " live " in , right? A scientist to start his experiment inside a sterile vacuum like " outer space ", or a petree,?, pitre?, peatre?,....PEE-TREE dish!....HELL ! we cannot even a spell check program that can guess what we're trying to say when we type; "petree dish." !!! ..YES ! Google I'm trying to spell 'letter ', or Pete's, or FML, ...YES!, PISS TREE DISH!!!! That's it !!! Good job Google ! U have justified your $8,678,357,647,890 existence !!!!! .....bye-bye!
@The BiteJaw Dino DWM 391 like!
Never to old to rock and roll ❤
Holy smokes. This man helped repair the Hubble telescope and ROCKS SO HARD!
He didn't just help; he was the program manager!
This shit is actually incredible. About 50 percent of the crowd was judging hardcore but holy shit its honestly really impressive that hes screaming like that. Why have I not seen this until now?
the fact that at that age he was able to scream and growl like that was freaking awesome most elderly people would rupture their lungs if they ever tried that
444 likes at 4:44 pm. Terrific
Add 1 more legendary accomplishment to his already formidable resume
This old man should be a vocalist in a heavy metal band
This is the best thing happened in American got talent....🤘
Seh Pu yessir
Agreed
Never doubt it!!
I thought it was better when Simon shat himself
Legend says he lost a bet on the international space station and was sent back on the surface to do this
Lmao
I prefer to think he actually won, the bet.
@@snagfree yes
Hahahaahah
More like, this was the bet. And I’d say he won for sure.
Fucking awesome. Mans lived through more than most and that’s the cherry on top for him. I need more of this.
He's already a winner for doing this.
Fun fact:
DP brought him out live to perform with them.
Now that's f#&king awesome.
@Cock and ball torture gaming lmao
For seriously? If so, that’s actually awesome 😄
For real?
I looked it up, he was absolutely horrible but I can see why the crowd was pumped up.
Being a science nut I think his previous accomplishments were greater however.
Deep Purple?
This is absolute dedication to the meme, this guy is 82 and he just outmeme'd everyone
YoungMyers fuck you
first name last name jeez
YoungMyers and first name last name wow. Bad words. I know both of them but haven't said any of them and you definitely shouldn't say them.😐
Galaxy Cupcake stupid little kid
Lmao truuuuuuue this guys a legend.
He was not there to compete. He was there to rock.
Hell yeah 🤘
I could watch this 100x. It never gets old. So great! Shocking the audience was priceless. I always come back to watch this to get a laugh.
I just imagine PTSD-esque images of dead bodies flashing inside his mind, when he's singing that song.
Giannis Roussos lmfao Nam days
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Considering he was a pilot, the enemies probably just looked like ants to him.
In honor of you, I'm making that right now. But it's D-Day from saving private Ryan (I couldn't find a video with a bunch of dead bodies).
+Ron H Until he reads the Bomb Damage Assessments. He was a Naval Aviator, they got in nice and close.
Dude is literally a rocket scientist and probably spent his whole life playing everything by the book and numbers. This probably gave him the greatest personal joy and satisfaction of anything he's ever done
He got to release 😂 dudes awesome😄
Fun fact, Drowning Pool invited him on stage to sing with them
Bro why did we need the full psychoanalysis profile? 😂
czcams.com/video/rAjI4FYXFWM/video.html
He was a Navy pilot in the late 1950s I'm guessing he's let lose tons of times. Them dudes party run wild with chick's and drive sports cars
I love the combination of his attitude, voice and his high pants
True legend.....absolutely zero fucks given.....he rocked that and people mouths hit the floor. RIP SIR🫡
the power of not giving a fuck........
I.K.R. 😎😎😎 lol!
idontgive mercesthethird what else are you supposed to do at that age
*slow applaud!*
It's fucking insane right lol
Humanity restored :)
Coolest old man in the world
yup
My gran'pa still act like that he's my total rocker and horror movie star and I like the people who love rock music that never dies for any age 💀💜💜💜🤟.
He probably didn't win, but he's already a legendary winner in our hearts ❤
This man is proof it's not a Phase
Grandpa gave me the chills when he started singing
I know right.
Check out Young @ Heart.
Same
Bruh you’re giving me the chills 🤣😂☠️
if that gave you chills you're either a liar or a fool. Probably both
@@joeshmoe6798 Shut up.
This man has been performing all over the world ever since this audition and yes, he’s still going strong!
He's still alive as today still so he's 88 now and living
Glad to know this absolute legend is still rocking out
thank you for this wonderful information
So good to hear.
Glad to hear! :)
What a beautiful soul. His toucan patch is what sells me. Bravo sir. Bravo.
this is a classic song, and to see a man of this age doing his own rendition is TOTALLY BADASS
Hope this man is still around, he is forever cemented as a legend, long after he's gone for doing this.
well *hello*
@@Stardus Duh. He makes safe and dumb generic comments to garner attention.
@@Thefutureending
Like you, megagigateragay!
@@Stardus so.... now every time he comments there is some ass like you replying that he is doing it for the likes. can you people not just shut up and let nice things be nice. Also, since when do we assume so much with so little information.
why are you here
This is a man who has lived his life to the fullest. From job to retirement to showing the world a 80 year old can still rock
330 songs written in 11 months lmk czcams.com/video/MR-8v9Av1ko/video.html
for real. retirement cant top that performance. this man is a legend.
Going on a fake show out shines a fake job.
@@michaelgove9349 Are you this much of a sour puss in real life too?
@@kippertrace5808 This is peak "teenager who thinks the world sucks" energy.
What can’t this man do? Legend!
This song must have been such a release for him after all his years of life! God bless
Every single person in the crowd who immediately stood up and started cheering is living their best life. I'm singing with you buddy, sing on.
it was a manufactured response.
@@scottadcock550 such is the human condition
He didn't get a single X. That's a victory in of itself. Plus a standing ovation from Howie Mandell and most of the audience.
They were actually afraid that a Buzzer X may give him a death scare.
@@JPSimen No, they were just afraid of him in general 😉
I think Heidi may have had a stroke though.
I mean put yourself in the shoes of the jury. I am NOT giving an X to an aerospace engineer that lead a program to repair the the Hubble space telescope lol. There are some people you just sit down and listen to until they say they are finished and that's that
I mean, it would take a special asshole to give an X to an 82 year old who feels this is the highlight of his entire life. I mean he ranks it higher than being on the team to repair the Hubble telescope! Fatherhood has made Simon a lot kinder, otherwise I think he would have been that special asshole.
This is the best grandpa ever. Amazing.
82 years of rage kept buried within until this very moment. Well done, sir.
Aerospace engineering will do that to you lol
He just relived Vietnam. His final fuck you's. Inspiring
JJ White bahahaha...greatness
yeah! killed those suckas!
I think it would be Korea honestly... but that would ruin the joke...
JJ White YES
Lmfao
forever an icon
Master & Legend !!! Rip KING !
Let's admit our grandpas or fathers don't have enough energy to do this lol
My dad is 59 and he is the most fit in the family.
my dad is in his mid 60's he just relaxes and smokes weed all day while working on my yard, because he's bored! lol Last year, he made me a deck with a roof on it, so we can chill and bbq on, this year, he's completely removed my grass and is about too roll tip top grass on it. Him and his buddy are out there right now as i type this! haha
This guy is 82 a lot older than yalls 60 year old grandpas tho
Kentucky Fried Chicken its sucks when people get old they are always tired always sleepy they don't want to do anything or go out no more.
Showed this to my 76 year old grandpa and he just muttered something along the lines of crazy old coot.
Helped repair the Hubble Telescope, Navy pilot, went on AGT to sing like a badass, and gotten viral on CZcams.
Jesus...
Tell about "Life Goals"...
This man just got his life completed, he could die any moment and he won't be like "I have a lot of things to do yet"
What the fuck video were YOU watching. Sure wasn't THIS one.
I wondered who has been stealing high points of my life... I seem to have found him
Aiden Macleod what video were YOU watching? Because that's exactly what happened.
This one song hair made him a household name and a legend overnight
This is how i want to grow old man, respect ❤
He actually has a damn good voice for metal. At a younger age he could have been one hell of a vocalist.
Ikr
wtf are you smoking lol
Ha no his style was incorrect but he wasn't going for sounding good he was trying to have a good time which he did i liked it though got to give him guts and respect
I'd hire this dude now if I was in a band
Um no. Loo
What a badass! This dude wins whatever contest this is in my book.
It's the contest for the world's next biggest pop star
It's at fools
Agreed. And love your comment.
mine too
❤ THIS is living. What an inspiration. RIP to this legend of a man. He fixed the Hubble Telescope FFS. Bloody Legend.
Seeing that brought such joy to my heart . BLESS HIM AND REST IN PEACE BROTHER
This man was Navy pilot He literally blew dudes out the sky and let the bodies hit the floor !!!!Respect
Lol!
Probably the ocean but close enough
But he might not of
Ocean floor
noice. i wanted to give a thumbs up but it already at 444 - not gonna ruin it
This is proof that just because you're old doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the younger generation's music.
Except rock and metal was way more prominent 40 years ago and Bodies came out 20 years ago
And the proof that when you are old you ain't care a s**t
What the younger generations listen to now isn't music lol Now where have I heard that before?
@@Fluke2SS depends what kind of music you're talking about.
I’d stay away from the pop and rap I’ve been hearing though. Talk about shitty music
THAT WAS THE BEST THEY'VE EVER HAD ON THIS SHOW. 👏 I found this by accident bcuz I don't watch mainstream tv, BUT THIS GUY SHOULD BE LIVE IN CONCERT. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 If I knew they had awesome acts like him on maybe I would've watched. 👍👏👏👏👏👏🤗
THIS MAN is taking alll the anger from his previous careers, and putting it into GREAT USE!!!
The crowd is the best part. I love how you can quickly tell who's a rocker and who needs ear muffs 😂😂😂
True that 😂
This dude is like... "Trolls... yeah let me show you how that's fucking done"
Good on him... I am in my 60's and I use this sort of music as my music therapy to cope with spinal pain... my specialist laughed so hard when I told him, he nearly fell off his chair... dare anyone to try to get me to listen to Perry Como
Rock and roll never dies
He prolly let the bodies hit the floor in WW2 never know.
Damn
Probably more like dropping nap in nam, his age would put him in either Korea or Nam
I was thinking that too! Ironically unlike allot of the young Drowning Pool fans, the song probably better resonates with him!
@@XSouthparkisawsomeX Definitely Korea. Looks a bit too old for Nam.
I don’t think he even cared about being passed to the next round . He fulfilled his dream, got a standing ovation from howie and the crowd , he accomplished what he set out to do , and he did it In a BAD ASS WAY!!!! This guy is truly amazing ROCK ON LEGEND !
czcams.com/video/uAFyi8hB2ns/video.html
he sounds better then the original band live
Metal is Eternal
Dave Williams must be proud in heaven when his song is being sung by an older gentleman and a former navy pilot at that.
What a bloody legend. Sad to hear his passing. This bloke really lived his life.
