I bet 95% of people in the stands don’t know that this is hard to do. Not saying it’s the hardest song to play, but having a high school band that can do this and it sound amazing
"Ok guys. Tomorrow is the big day. The talent show at school. Now remember...dont forget to wear your tan cargo shorts!" Drummer shows up-"Damn it carl!!"
@@ronanmusic118 Once you learn to alternate pick, the intro is fairly easy. Remember practice makes perfect and if you are trying to play it, good luck
Ronny Man Beats that intro solo Kirk does really isn't hard man. One of Kirk Hammett's easiest to play. I dunno what to tell you. Maybe practice more instead of being rude to people that can play it. Edit: like Artemis GD said though, alternate picking is essential
No kidding, I’m way late to seeing this for the first time but I’ll be back! Thanks for sharing this post, these young dudes were fantastic. Great stuff!!
7.6 million views and 17k comments speaks for itself. This a great cover especially for a high school band. My one observation is with the drummer he seems nervous at the start but once he finds his groove he really starts to sell the performance. The dueling solos was also a nice touch.
+GHLinkinmanuT yeah I was expecting people to get hyped over the solo and also when they were finished I saw people who were just sitting in the stage frowning and not clapping
Hetfield sings really good, but the fact that he embraced himself and sang it in his own style is awesome! He also sing very well too so that makes it better.
Had an obviously stoned teacher for 4 years in high school. We would always talk about bands like Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Decapitated, and other death metal. Pretty sure he was trying to groom me lol
Watched this video for a while, and it’s almost like he gave the red shirt soloist the least impressive portion of the song and handed himself the panty dropper part of the solo. Dirty move, but well respected.
Guitar is hard to get this good at and it’s even harder to play that well while singing and while performing in front of crowd. Some people really have no idea and get excited when someone plays single chord, like it pisses me off when someone will shred a killer solo and get no reaction but as soon as a simple chord progression is played they lose their minds!
@@trendkill3333 Then you should also appreciate the fact that some people don't care to have their faces melted by a shreddy solo amd prefer a more melodic and soft progression- Correct?
Yeah most kids nowadays wouldn't have time to because playing/practicing to be that good is too much work for them, and that would also cut into their video game time.
hsman98 Haha, keep going?? this was basically a decade ago. They probably have an annoying wife and kids now. Dreaming of their younger years in cargo shorts slaying chicks left and right.
Dude I watch it everytime it pops up. Its amazing. I grew up in Austin, Tx. I've seen the best of the best and I know talent when I see it. These is some tight playing for some high school kidd messing around. It really is good.

I've never been more proud of perfect strangers in my life ever. Up until now. You 4 gentlemen PLEASE stick together and continue playing music. You guys are awesome. Your parents did an awesome job introducing you to Metallica. Keep rockin' on. I'm an instant fan. Very impressed. 🤘👍
Every single comment about cargo shorts on hear is funny as fuck. That being said this is the best talent show band I have ever seen. It's not easy covering a song that good from beginning to end. I give them huge props
When I was in high school 16 years ago, there was a kid in my grade that tried covering jimmy Hendrix vodo child. He did an ok job but still sort of butcherd it up a bit then he tried Mary had a little lamb by Stevie Ray Vaughn and sort of butcherd that up as well. But this is far better than that !
@@fabgsan worst band experience I've been through was because of a really elitist lead guitarist and his ego. He is good, dont get me wrong, but after he left our band without so much as a word. He just showed up during the week and took his gear from our jam spot. I found out about it when I showed up for rehearsal and his shit was gone. "Oh...yeah....Louis left the band to join another that is already on the road to success" His first show was opening for Morbid Angel, so yeah, he made the right decision for himself and thats fine. It was when I saw him in the parking lot of our local mall and I wanted to say congrats on getting the gig, I started with "Hey man!...." and then he promptly looked the other way and blew me off like he was already making millions and I was one of the "little people". Wasnt like there was bad blood between us, we always got along but now that he's gotten a level of success he has the "too good to talk to you" attitude. I wish him all the best but as a result of his new manner Ill never pay to see his band play.
Their amps are mic’d. The guy behind the mixing board is to blame. Sure, the kid probably had the volume on his pedal turned up too much, but a simple slide coulda toned that down
54 year old disabled veteran here. You guys did great. This song took on a lot different meaning after the things I had seen in the Army during my career. But I rose above it and got passed that dark place in my past. My family gave me strength. I'll quit rambling now. I just want to say I know this was quite a while ago but I think you guys sounded great. I hope y'all are still playing.

My friends!!! Im 45 and have been a Metallica Fan for years and this is one of my favorite songs and you guys nailed it!!!!!! Freaking unbelievable!!! Congrats!!! Well done!!! Mad props for you!!!!
nobody ever pays attention to the drummers in these covers but most of them, including this guy, are outstanding and absolutely deserve some attention.
I agree. This dude is playing "open handed". I can't do that. I have to cross my right hand over my left to play the hats. He is developing a far superior technique. Playing open handed has all kinds of advantages. I'm jealous.
@@P1NOU We learn cross handed because, if you're right handed, your strong hand is playing the hats and your weak hand is on snare. Generally, the hats is a technically harder pattern to play than the just back beat pattern on the snare. Like, when you switch to the ride you are still playing the same pattern with your right hand, but just a different cymbal. It's easier to learn to play the hats with your right hand. Like, that's the default. If you can play open handed like this dude in the video, you should be able to do both. Open handed way is harder to learn, because your playing the more difficult pattern with your left (weak) hand and the back beat with your right. If you can do both then you can play more interesting grooves and fills because not crossing hands means you should be able to move around the kit more efficiently. Now, I know someone is gonna say, "he's probably just left handed". That's fair enough, maybe he is. If your left handed, you have two options. You can set up your kit totally backwards with the hats on your right and floor tom and ride on your left. Most lefties don't do that; since you can never play someone else's kit without rebuilding the whole thing instead of just adjusting a few things for height and comfort. Also, if your a lefty you have the advantage of just naturally being open handed. A lefty just has to learn how to play the ride "backwards". A lot of famous drummers are actually lefties. Ringo was a lefty. It is said that has a lot to do with his unique sound.
My God! I've seen Metallica 30 or 40 times over the last 40 years. Seriously hardcore fan. This was OUTSTANDING!!!! If the crowd had been old school Metallica fans, they would have been out of their seats!!!! Kudos to all of you guys. OUTSTANDING!!!!

Your comments were the best I have read on this video. Based on your comment above I would almost bet good money you did well in English classes at school and/or are possibly an aspiring writer or am I completely wrong ? Just a curious observation
I think the band did a great job. It takes courage to perform nowadays with just your instruments and no outside help. This is a good performance. I wish your band well in the future.
This is something that these kids will look back at in 10 to 20 years and be proud of themselves. It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there at that age and they naild it. Much respect!
I put myself out there at that age as a guitar player in a band. Does not take much to do it, and I was shy as fuck spent hours in my bedroom mastering that instrument wanted to be Alex skolnick of Testament. Never became as good as Alex but I'm light years ahead of Kirk Hammett. And I'm not saying Kirk is a bad player, he's not. He's just not that great compared to many others who never got the fame and the glory and the money. Such as myself. But I don't want any of that shit. I know how big my dick is
@@Eliascoreas It is all Kirk. The decision to split solo duties was an artistic choice for these guys. James doesn't play lead on any of Fade to Black on the album or live.
@@Bangingyourmom buddy you're just a washed up old man salty cause you didn't go to any😂 Don't be so butthurt, it's just a fact that this takes more talent than some cheerleader
Oh, for chrissake. I was just having fun. Get a sense of humor. I LOVE Metallica. But let's face it. Lars is NO John Bonham, and Kirk's no David Gilmour.
***** That is so true. I did a JFK speech at my High School talent show (I have a gift for public speaking, not music sadly), and while well received, I was drenched in sweat afterward.

@@DavidEssex2112steve harris and cliff burton is
True. Bassists are underrated because bass isn't something you can hear on a shit device especially on phone speaker. Only true audiophiles dig it.
I like how the singer doesn't try to Imitate Hetfield. It makes the singing uniquely his, and that's awesome.
you can't for real project like a big guy if you're not a big guy, the man has learned a valuable life lesson already; know your limitations
Hetfield sings really good, but the fact that he embraced himself and sang it in his own style is awesome! He also sing very well too so that makes it better.
Hehe I guess that's just his voice type... I doubt any high tenor could truly imitate Hetfield!

And next up is........ Suzie with Hot Cross Buns played in the clarinet
Lmao
Ikr
🤣
LMAO
Whoever is up next probably just walked on and kept walking till they were off the stage area
too bad every one in that school has no idea who metallica is
Eddie Jackson Yeah probably :/ At my school there are some metal heads like me so I don't feel too alone lol
Eddie Jackson I'm in high school and I started listenening to Metallica when I was in 6th grade
Eddie Jackson love your profile picture
Smithfilmz I'm in 8th and they have been my favorite since I could remember
in my country is very different, in my school if you play metal everyones call You weird, so i have a band and we don't play in school talent, we only play in bars. And I'm proud of that because they even moth pit for our songs. (sorry for my bad english)

Damn... Hell of a cover for sure. And to think that they are in high school too. Good job guys, you killed it.
They were in high school... 13 years ago. People who were born when this was filmed are in high school now
I guess time flies when you’re having fun, because I have had a blast watching these guys play like CHAMPIONS and they must’ve had a blast up there. They kicked a$$! I hope they’re still playing AND still sporting those killer outfits! This was fantastic.

I will like this simply for the amount of time this would have taken
Omg - this thread had me in tears, but your conversion of the entire Metallica catalogue to be cargo-centric, speechless
That kid in the cargo pants is really good
Woosh
rip jeans kid
Ikr! So that means that the drummer sucked
fun trash Oh! You mean that one right?
Which one
Red shirt kid deserved more recognition I feel...
Thank you Louis!
100% I was like how come no one is cheering his solos? He's playing all of the hard ones lol
and he has solid rhythm playing which is underrated
What about the drummer?
Stop
The fact that the Singer of the Highschool band at a highschool talent show is actually good is extraordinary
6:57 the bassist must have seen hitler in the crowd
oH sHiT hE's SeCrEtLy A NaZi!
🤣🤣🤣
The drummer didn't get the memo about the cargo shorts
Isaac Newton his balls were just to big. They woulda been hanging out
Hang in there , this is the best i have heard, and i listen to a lot of music, stick together you will go far (if this is your passion) stick with it , love it in KY
When has the drummer ever gotten a memo?
he was just worried about delivering the pizza!!! lol
Maybe the others didn't get the memo about sweat pants.
Nothing says metal like matching cargo shorts
true
cargo short are metal as metal can be
High schoolers gonna high school
Hell I've been there
Lol
I've never been more proud of perfect strangers in my life ever. Up until now. You 4 gentlemen PLEASE stick together and continue playing music. You guys are awesome. Your parents did an awesome job introducing you to Metallica. Keep rockin' on. I'm an instant fan. Very impressed. 🤘👍
about 75-80% of the audience probably didnt know what song was being played
edgy numetal kid more like 90-95
Because of pop shit
This was in 2009 so I think a good majority had an idea.
This was a pretty good cover.
I bet all the teachers loved it
heh heh
It's so nice to watch new generations perform classical music...
yup, fuck all that rap/pop shit.
Fuck u Kerr parkins
Kerr parkins?
How is this classical? This is metallica
+McFly Classical music? Did you mean classic rock music? Because I didn't hear any Bach there.
Every single comment about cargo shorts on hear is funny as fuck. That being said this is the best talent show band I have ever seen. It's not easy covering a song that good from beginning to end. I give them huge props
100%!
100%
When I was in high school 16 years ago, there was a kid in my grade that tried covering jimmy Hendrix vodo child. He did an ok job but still sort of butcherd it up a bit then he tried Mary had a little lamb by Stevie Ray Vaughn and sort of butcherd that up as well. But this is far better than that !
The drummer is better than Lars 🤣😂
They probably practiced it every day for two weeks
6:05 the moment you become the coolest person in the world
Singer: “Alright guys you all got your cargo pants and white shoes on?”
Drummer:

Typical drummers
Lead guitar player: I need to be TWELVE TIMES LOUDER THAN YA'LL.
I hate that.. ive worked with several and they are all the same way
@@fabgsan worst band experience I've been through was because of a really elitist lead guitarist and his ego.
He is good, dont get me wrong, but after he left our band without so much as a word. He just showed up during the week and took his gear from our jam spot. I found out about it when I showed up for rehearsal and his shit was gone. "Oh...yeah....Louis left the band to join another that is already on the road to success"
His first show was opening for Morbid Angel, so yeah, he made the right decision for himself and thats fine.
It was when I saw him in the parking lot of our local mall and I wanted to say congrats on getting the gig, I started with "Hey man!...." and then he promptly looked the other way and blew me off like he was already making millions and I was one of the "little people". Wasnt like there was bad blood between us, we always got along but now that he's gotten a level of success he has the "too good to talk to you" attitude.
I wish him all the best but as a result of his new manner Ill never pay to see his band play.
Their amps are mic’d. The guy behind the mixing board is to blame. Sure, the kid probably had the volume on his pedal turned up too much, but a simple slide coulda toned that down
@@slakr7555 The mixing board is behind the drummer
He’s way too loud.
And NOW! THE BAND YOU ALL KNOW AND LOVE.. THE CARGO SHORTS!!!
Announcer: THE CARGO SHORTS!
*whispers*: And that one jean guy
Henry Ratliff ehhh I literally just put a very similar comment above then came across this one😂😂 I'm fucking dying😂
Henry Ratliff wtf you killed it with that one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Taylor Warren
Why isnt that a genre yet?! CargMetal
CARGOCORE
It just kept getting better all the way through. I've never seen high school kids lay it down like this.
If I were there I would probably be the only guy screaming because that guy nailed the Intro solo
theBreed me too
It’s a pretty easy solo to nail the second solo is much harder but still not to bad
54 year old disabled veteran here. You guys did great. This song took on a lot different meaning after the things I had seen in the Army during my career. But I rose above it and got passed that dark place in my past. My family gave me strength. I'll quit rambling now. I just want to say I know this was quite a while ago but I think you guys sounded great. I hope y'all are still playing.
Kpop fans be like
“So which one dresses better?”
PekkaRUS
Wow, ruling out the drummer right away.
101 Gamer
Yes it does
Seems that I'm the only METALHEAD and kpop fan here :/
@@3d2y54 because kpop is absolutely shit. Just like everything else on the radio today. Shitty pop and rap that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Craig Carmean lol

Craig Carmean Not the drummer.
Craig Carmean 😆original af
I just realized the rythm guitarist/vocalist and the lead guitarist switched roles during the outro. Great performance though, guys.
To be fair James and Kirk do it quite a bit in live shows depending on the song (this is one of them as is nothing else matters)
@@robertguysky9264 Huh, how did I not know that
They trade solos in the outro, they recorded it that way
And the crowd goes "wild"
He nailed that last solo too
nobody ever pays attention to the drummers in these covers but most of them, including this guy, are outstanding and absolutely deserve some attention.
I agree. This dude is playing "open handed". I can't do that. I have to cross my right hand over my left to play the hats. He is developing a far superior technique. Playing open handed has all kinds of advantages. I'm jealous.
We all learnt playing cross hands maby it's for a reason. What does it add? I'm for real lol@@NicholasBrendel
@@P1NOU We learn cross handed because, if you're right handed, your strong hand is playing the hats and your weak hand is on snare. Generally, the hats is a technically harder pattern to play than the just back beat pattern on the snare. Like, when you switch to the ride you are still playing the same pattern with your right hand, but just a different cymbal. It's easier to learn to play the hats with your right hand. Like, that's the default. If you can play open handed like this dude in the video, you should be able to do both. Open handed way is harder to learn, because your playing the more difficult pattern with your left (weak) hand and the back beat with your right. If you can do both then you can play more interesting grooves and fills because not crossing hands means you should be able to move around the kit more efficiently.
Now, I know someone is gonna say, "he's probably just left handed". That's fair enough, maybe he is. If your left handed, you have two options. You can set up your kit totally backwards with the hats on your right and floor tom and ride on your left. Most lefties don't do that; since you can never play someone else's kit without rebuilding the whole thing instead of just adjusting a few things for height and comfort. Also, if your a lefty you have the advantage of just naturally being open handed. A lefty just has to learn how to play the ride "backwards".
A lot of famous drummers are actually lefties. Ringo was a lefty. It is said that has a lot to do with his unique sound.
My God! I've seen Metallica 30 or 40 times over the last 40 years. Seriously hardcore fan. This was OUTSTANDING!!!! If the crowd had been old school Metallica fans, they would have been out of their seats!!!! Kudos to all of you guys. OUTSTANDING!!!!
Same I’m totally 40 year old
No way you have seen metallic that many times?
@@stephen9024 Metallica has been touring since 1983, he could have easily seen them 50 times.
@@stephen9024 I've seen Tool and Rush more than 40 times. I'm a big fan. Love live shows. Hell, I've seen Phish over 20 times and I don't even like them that much.
@@mjwbulich they must have amazing opening acts
All the moms in he audience are blushing because they know what they did to get back stage at a Metallica concert back in the 80's

Your comments were the best I have read on this video. Based on your comment above I would almost bet good money you did well in English classes at school and/or are possibly an aspiring writer or am I completely wrong ? Just a curious observation
I am on the toilet, I stood to give your comment a standing ovation, not smart but awesome song names.
Please welcome to the stage "Billy Jeans and the 3 shorts" with their cover of Metallica's Fade to Black.
I think the band did a great job. It takes courage to perform nowadays with just your instruments and no outside help. This is a good performance. I wish your band well in the future.
Wow. Nailed it!!
Usually gymnasium talent shows are moderately good at best. This one....I rewatched!! keep up the good work guys!!
I’m here in 2020 hoping these dudes are still playing together.
2022 now 😂
@@devinmoyer7466 fr
Same!!
Same
They broke up. Alcohol. Drugs. Pussey
It was a risky move going for the khaki shorts but I say it paid off
Dimebag darrell wore Cargo shorts too
Are khaki shorts just the pants equivalent of fedoras or something? I've never heard of this.
Lol
Bold Strategy to say the least
Tbh when ever I do a show I dress to comfort and dgaf what people think. Shiiiiiiitttt bruhh this is us people shaking our asses for coins.
This is something that these kids will look back at in 10 to 20 years and be proud of themselves. It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there at that age and they naild it. Much respect!
John Mathis it’s already 10 years
I put myself out there at that age as a guitar player in a band. Does not take much to do it, and I was shy as fuck spent hours in my bedroom mastering that instrument wanted to be Alex skolnick of Testament. Never became as good as Alex but I'm light years ahead of Kirk Hammett. And I'm not saying Kirk is a bad player, he's not. He's just not that great compared to many others who never got the fame and the glory and the money. Such as myself. But I don't want any of that shit. I know how big my dick is
LMAO. Everyone on YT is a guitar God who can blow Kirk out of the water 😂😂
Ivar Sorensen
You’re trash at guitar kid shut up
Ira van den Heuvel I'm sorry, who are you? Ive never heard of u. Oh i see, u never got noticed. Pity
From all the high school covers I've seen, this one gotta be the best. These dudes really know how to play!
Sucks that Hetfield's guitar was too quiet. His half of the ending solo was euphoric.
i honestly didnt know it was both if them i thought it was all kirk
lead guitar is a bit loud. he’s good tho.
@@Eliascoreas It is all Kirk. The decision to split solo duties was an artistic choice for these guys. James doesn't play lead on any of Fade to Black on the album or live.
How tf did they only get 2nd? The judges actually have a disability
First went to a senior cheerleader who did the donkey show....
@@Bangingyourmom wow, that's dumb af
@@JustRorke glad you disapprove...you must be fun at parties. Turd.
@@Bangingyourmom buddy you're just a washed up old man salty cause you didn't go to any😂 Don't be so butthurt, it's just a fact that this takes more talent than some cheerleader
@@JustRorke Are you saying that a "cheerleader donkey show" doesnt take any talent? Gotta practice that a lot longer than two weeks to get it right.
Good soloist? Check. Good bassist? Check. Decent vocals? Check. Shitty drummer? Check. Great Metallica cover band! :-D
Hahaha
Hahaha you're a fucking idiot
Oh, for chrissake. I was just having fun. Get a sense of humor. I LOVE Metallica. But let's face it. Lars is NO John Bonham, and Kirk's no David Gilmour.
*****
That is so true. I did a JFK speech at my High School talent show (I have a gift for public speaking, not music sadly), and while well received, I was drenched in sweat afterward.
SemperFido9915 I agree on the drummer, I can tell from the opening. More cymbols, seem empty
Freakin love it guys. I hope you are all still jamming !! MG
My only problem is and im sure you realized later is... " You didnt f in high 5 the bass player" Wth man thats totally guitarist lame.. Justsayin. LOL
