Metal as fuck

Maybe when they grow up they’ll be like this.

Forgive me for stereotyping.

In case they need a new drummer . . .

Also, Black Death RULES!!!

^That was cool, but he was pretty off beat.

Yeah. I expect more from 4-year-olds too.

For his age, i’d say that’s a huge accomplishment.

Never said it sucked. Better than I was at 4. I didn’t have a full kit as a kid.

As much as I hate RUSH, check out ‘lil homeboy killin’ it one year later (age 5) on “Tom Sawyer” . . .

^ I’ve seen some videos before with that kid. He’s killer and the only reason I’d sit through that god awful fucking song.

I always crack up reading the comments on such videos. It’ll be “3 Year Old Does Jimi Hendrix Tribute” and then some 2’ tall toddler comes out with a guitar twice as big as him and blazes through “Voodoo Chile”. Up there in the top comments someone will always say, “He’s not as good as Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix was better.”.

I’m partial to the high school percussion ensemble covering Mr. Bungle:

That’s REALLY good and creative. Good on 'em!
(And I’m no fan of Mr. Bungle either).

Now, so that everyone has a proper frame of reference . . . . . here is an example of NOT METAL . . .

…aaaaaaaaaand here comes the YouTube black hole as I click on video after video with “worst band ever” in the title. I love the smell of schadenfreude in the early afternoon.

Oh, my friend, I have spent MANY hours in that exact hole.
I always cut the young’uns a bit of slack though. They suck, but at least they’re trying.

I do NOT, however, reserve any compassion or mercy for full-grown men who do this crap.

THIS . . . is not good.

^ Wow, the guitar player fucking nailed the solo.

I like when the singer sings the echos “RELAX, Relax, relax . . .”.

And watching him continue to shake his head like he’s praying that a plane will drop out of the sky and kill him . . . it’s really uncomfortable.

There are videos of two different performances by those guys in front of that music store. Somebody let them play there at least twice.
I wish I knew more about their story. Are they adult music students? Did they all trade instruments just to see what would happen? Are they a real band attempt to cover songs they’ve never played before as a challenge? The mind boggles.

The music students theory is the one that makes the most sense to me. I used to take guitar lessons at a music place. After you get some basics down you can opt to take “Rock Band” whereby you join up with 3 or 4 other equally douche retards and y’all put together some songs and such.

I’m guessing (dear, God, HOPING) that this was a little showcase thing they did with the various groups so that their family and friends could come out and get tortured, uhh, I mean, entertained by their rock star awesomeness.

My main gripe, though, is with bands that don’t just suck but also exhibit zero enthusiasm or energy. Heck, many of the punk bands from back in the day were horrible. But at least they had a passion and an energy.

The music students theory is the one that makes the most sense to me.

yes but how can you fuck up the bass guitar part in comfortably numb? come on… anyone can play it after 3 run-throughs of that song.
