Thank you so much! It was such an honor that Metallica trusted me that I’ll make them proud and I was able to play this iconic Metallica song for the first time ever on AGT! And the AGT crew are amazing in creating such an incredible unforgettable experience. Metallica was the reason I started playing guitar since 6 years old and now it feels like a full circle that I got to play Metallica for my 2nd ever biggest stage performance. That's what made this day most special for me! Thank you all for the love and support. It means a lot! ❤❤❤
Excellent skills..we can all see the hard work that you have invested o er these years on the stage ..I’m also proud that you are a Tamil and Indian origin ..
I love how she stayed true to her heritage with her clothing and red dot while playing Metallica and integrating her traditional music. You know Metallica watched this if they gave their permission. That's awesome.
This kid will win it..the dresscode,.the smile..the notes she plays....godess of rock..the finals will be fire... Everyone was watching her while on their feet..crazy
Welcome to the new normal. I introduced guitar to my nephew during pandemics. He's now 14 and already better than me in my early 20s. Kids are amazing learners
I love the fact that she actually enjoys playing the guitar 🎸... The walk she did across that stage was the walk of a true artist ❤🎉😅 and we do love her!!!
Looking at comments, reaction & views Maya might become the most successful AGT contestant who has never won the show. But there's no doubt about her bright future, the outpouring of love from music loving people across the world.
If Metallica doesn't invite her to play with them at one of their shows, they are doing themselves, their audience, and Maya an extreme disservice. She absolutely killed it!
As an Indian, I am so proud to see Maya do this amazing performance. God given talent definitely honed with hours of practice. There will be time when she will outgrow all competitions.
"As an Indian", "outgrow competition". Stop wrapping her in racial and capitalist labels. First thing you invoke is Nationality. Let's enjoy her as a human artist above all who is a generational talent. Also there is no competition. She isn't better or worse than anyone, and shouldn't have the pressure to be so. She is her, she will go as far as she wants to.
When Maya played the solo of James's vocal tune at the start, I was a little concerned it would end there... But when she went into the Sitar thing, and then launched straight into playing the bridge solo of Master of Puppets... And did it so FLAWLESSLY... You go, girl !
HOLY CRAP!!!! My wife watches AGT but we didn't see her perform so I decided to look for it. WOW glad I did. Not only did she just flat out shred as a guitarist she was able to blend some of her cultures sound into it with amazing results!
I literally jumped out of my seat when I heard the first few notes. I love Metallica and I love this girl! I’m currently learning to play the electric guitar and she is a huge inspiration for me
Metallica gave her the song to perform which is rare because Lars owns everything... she trained with a few of metallicas members to learn this song and that is just so BADASS for being 10 and getting a personal training sesh with the boys! 😊🎉
Omg! She's the most talented 11 year old musician I've ever seen. I was learning how to play twinkle little star on my recorder at her age. Just an amazing human!
Do you know Lisa-X from Japan? She is one of the best guitar players in the world being only 19 and started her musical career at 8 or 9 years old. Search her band Koiai :)
@@xP3ngu1nz Oh yeah, because men can be any height at any age - from Spud Webb 5' 4" to Victor Wemby - 7' 4" but *women* can only be one height at any given age, yes, of course, Dr Height Czar! 🙄🙄🙄
I don't know how Simon could say that this was a step up from Maya's first audition because it was just as fabulous as this one and the audience went just as wild. This girl can play anything, I've watched all her videos on her channel I don't see how she could get much better. She does everything to perfection.
She's still got a loooooong way to go in her career. Even metal is easy to her, because she's studying Indian classical music which is conceptually FAR more complex.
God damn this girl is such a metal head and it is so cool seeing her play guitar makes me wanna learn how to play drums so bad I’ve been wanting to but this just cemented it for me.
Absolutely love that she blended in a cultural sound. Made it her own sound and I'm definitely here for it. Awesome that she was given the right to play it too.
This literally brought tears to my eyes, not only because of her talent and all of that - there's also the reality that this song that was never heard on "rock radio" and didn't have widespread acceptance in America - it's now being played on network TV on a TV show that has an enormous following. That is awesome!!
Metal-heads are clearly a global phenomenon in this day and age. Puppets is literally my favorite album and song from my favorite band. Great choice! And loved the switchover to a sitar sound during her performance.
@MayaNeelkantan - You have an amazing control of the instrument at your age. Outstanding performance. Hope 1 day you have a complete "sitar rendition" on guitar - the one you did at 1:11 . It blew my mind away. Go all the way girl. You make Indians proud. Love the intro video with the "puja". Ganesh will take you all the way to the top. As Simon said - you are the "Guitar Goddess". No matter what the AGT outcome is - Girl, you are going places.
Super confident on stage. This girl is a born rocker . The agt result is immaterial she is already a star. As a huge metal fan i hope she plays iron maiden , black sabbath, led zeppelin, metallica and everything in between. Waiting for more amazing music from maya. ❤ A very proud indian.
🎉🎉! I totally hoped that she will be in the final! PS, Please let both Maya and Nini performed a duet guitar jam session at the finals! Take Care and Be Inspired,AGT Crew! WF-😎😉👌✌️🎉🎊
@gerardroll6468 I just hope they'll take her out on at least 1 tour show. A few members were in the audience for her . She has made a lot of connections. Slayer members were there for her 1st agt show.
i'm rooting for. i so rooting for her. i hope she'll be able to do this for the rest of her life. she has got the right attitude and temperament. her family raised her well. All the best, Maya!!!
Didn't know that she didn't make it past this round. This genre needs to be promoted and if she's god-gifted, how could she not progress. Judges should've little more say in this stage cuz voting clearly doesn't do justice!
wow, gave a shout out to cliff. I remember seeing cliff at Ruthies Inn in Berkeley, CA. He was so excited because Metallica was going to be opening for Ozzy. It was the start for them. Sadly, he was dead not long after from his bus accident. RIP.
@@Beholder505 LOL.. do you realize she is a 10(now 11) year old girl from India, which doesn't even have a proper rock culture let alone a metal one. & this is her only second time performing on a stage & that too live & on AGT of all places. Forget the technicalities of such a legendary, well known & tough song.. getting approval from Metallica's side shows how much they trust her.. & having that much of a responsibility would make even a grown up nervous & fumble. Metallica even commented on her IG video & shared this video on their story. Cliff Burton family was in the audience cheering her on. Did you achieve something like this at age 10-11? if not, then learn to appreciate others who do.
@NitinSwaroop that dude at 10 was still trying to figure out what that thing was growing between his legs, nevermind playing a electric guitar. Imagine being jealous of an 11yr old
She has a technique that is mind blowing for a pre-teen, but what strikes me the most is that her frasing is just spot-on. That usually takes years if not decades to master. Hat is def off. Rock on, young lady!
Maya Neelakandan, an amazing performer, made everyone get up with joy and dance. What a performance! I have never seen such a performance by an 11-year-old girl. AGT is just an introduction for you, and a wonderful victory is waiting for you. The world of music is starting to watch you! Go, Maya!
@MayaNeelakantan As a big Metallica fan, I am super impressed and happy with your performance. You are God's gift. You have everything you need to keep rocking!!! Have fun and God bless...
Maya,you are totally outstanding!!! You rip that guitar like nobody's business. You are made for this & will go so far in your life. & at your age right now,i can only imagine how far you will go. Keep connected with your life & the stars are yours! Keep On Rockin It!!!!!
This is the evolved next generation shooting a colourful warning shot across humanity's collective bow. This is an example of why we should leave a great planet for our kids, full of positivity, beauty, honour and recognition of divine blessings. May all of them exist at a higher consciousness.

She's 10 that makes me more exciting....like when i was 10 I won't eat without watching shinchan and Doraemon...and here she's playing electric guitars ⚡🎉 🎉....her parents already won in their life....
I still have goose bumps. Every time i watch her with her inaugural. PAPA ROACHS. LAST RESORT. I think it was with that gibson powerful guitar. It was dynamic. To me
And this is why i gave up guitar, skate boarding and BMX. Tried for years and then one day see an 11 year old doing things i couldn't even dream of. 😂 Rock on.
😊 this was real hardcore performance !! She blew the stage outta the park !! That was a really difficult piece the3rd part..when she plays the stepup notes !! 😮 Simply mindboggling !!! Left the judges n audience struggling for words !! Am curious to see how america votes.!! 😊
I LOVED her improvisation of the clean solo with the scale and essence of traditional east Indian music . LOVE IT! and she uses Dave Mustaine's sig model to play a Metallica song 🤘💀🤘
Maya you are an amazingly talented girl and I love Metallica and you kicked butt on that song! I was truly unhappy that you did not make it through! Keep playing, keep rocking, you are made to play and rock! Good luck to you and always keep smiling! I will follow you for life!
We say "i got chills" all the time to describe how awesome something was. No.... Literally, I got actual chills. That was amazing. And then when she thanked Cliff's family at the end, the chills came back
I’m so proud of her for choosing this this amazing record by Metallica and also giving credit to the legendary Maestro Cliff Burton’s family. Such an iconic moment by Maya. Rock on! 🤘🏾
How on earth did she unite both the vocals and the lead in a single guitar? That too of two legends Hetfield and Hammet! Maya will take heavy metal to another level!

Right there with ya!
I love how she stayed true to her heritage with her clothing and red dot while playing Metallica and integrating her traditional music. You know Metallica watched this if they gave their permission. That's awesome.

Nah, metal isn't mainstream enough and she'll need some kind of sad sob story to win.
At 11 years old and you’re playing the full solo of MOP. Ok this is not normal. This is gifted!!!!!!
Not only that, she interspersed an arranged vocal melody in the song, and that is incredibly difficult to do!
Even Kirk doesn’t get his own solo right. He misses notes. She’s brilliant.
Welcome to the new normal. I introduced guitar to my nephew during pandemics. He's now 14 and already better than me in my early 20s. Kids are amazing learners
Not gifted but hard work makes her so perfectly talented 🙏
Helll yeah all this done in a Saree is so badass ❤❤
Can’t believe this is a girl 10 yrs old playing like she’s been playing big concerts since 30 yrs ago. Amazing! She’s gotta win this year🙏🙌
As a heavy metal lover, I am very super proud of this kid, she is absolutely amazing

😊 this was real hardcore performance !! She blew the stage outta the park !! That was a really difficult piece the3rd part..when she plays the stepup notes !! 😮 Simply mindboggling !!! Left the judges n audience struggling for words !! Am curious to see how america votes.!! 😊
Maya, First time ever in AGT is Metallica through you. ❤
The day you relise who all these guitars legends are will be the day you relise how great you really are an you have a gift of a old soul 🙏
I LOVED her improvisation of the clean solo with the scale and essence of traditional east Indian music . LOVE IT! and she uses Dave Mustaine's sig model to play a Metallica song 🤘💀🤘
Whoa, this eleven year old girl can shred a thunder axe. I am so extremely proud of her, though. Props to you, young lady.
Forget tight torn pants & black t-shirts. This girl brought "don't judge a book by its cover" to the whole new level
Maya you are an amazingly talented girl and I love Metallica and you kicked butt on that song! I was truly unhappy that you did not make it through! Keep playing, keep rocking, you are made to play and rock! Good luck to you and always keep smiling! I will follow you for life!
We say "i got chills" all the time to describe how awesome something was. No.... Literally, I got actual chills. That was amazing. And then when she thanked Cliff's family at the end, the chills came back
Wow… that was incredible. She is extremely talented. Rock lives on!!!!
I didn’t want it to end. Insanely talented.
Looks innocent, then smiles whilst slaying xD I really loved the improv and I'm going to listen to it again right now.
The gods of rock and metal look down upon her with glee and bless her with all the talent she may need all hail the rock and metal gods!
What an insanely talented and well-behaved child. She was so cool to thank Metallica and Cliff’s family.
I’m so proud of her for choosing this this amazing record by Metallica and also giving credit to the legendary Maestro Cliff Burton’s family. Such an iconic moment by Maya. Rock on! 🤘🏾
Dam she did Metallica proud!
How on earth did she unite both the vocals and the lead in a single guitar? That too of two legends Hetfield and Hammet! Maya will take heavy metal to another level!
