Blind Reaction! Kids Rock For Kids - "Hysteria" (MUSE cover) 

YOYOKA is the veteran professional of this great band. She has been playing live since 4. She is a rock solid drummer that can drive any band to perfection. As several have commented she is a regular at Whiskey a Go Go playing with pros 2 to 5 times her age.

That drummer has been on Drummer's World list of the top 500 drummers of ALL TIME, since she was just 11. She's 14 now. She keeps perfect time, is always in the pocket, and never dominates any of the other musicians. And she only needs a few rehearsals to get something right. So basically she's studio-ready and concert-worthy already.

Ellen's videos almost put me in a good mood. Her talent is wonderful to behold, she laughs and smiles continuously, and her relationship with her father will warm your heart. Don't just watch the newest videos because she was a natural when she started at age 8 or 9.

Unbelievable. Everything here is so solid and so artistic, but that guitar solo by Charlotte just blew me away.

Lead singer is fire.

They're all astonishingly good, but the more I listen to this cover, the more I'm impressed by the vocalist. She's not only got the voice, she has the projection, and she has the stage presence.

Ellen and Yoyoka are well-known superstars. You witnessed Ellen's brilliance. Yoyoka was just staying in the pocket for this song, but she is amazing when she goes wild. I hadn't seen the others, but they are excellent, too.

They just released a cover of Boston - Peace of Mind. I believe they recorded a total of 4 songs.

They are very special. Thanks for reaction❤

Yoyoka, the drummer and Ellen, the bassist are the two that I have known of and have followed them for years. This collaboration is so good and what a song for kids to do. Hysteria has one of the coolest bass lines ever and am so happy to see Ellen on bass master it. Yoyoka on drums is phenomenal too on that drum kit and her and the bassist to keep the rhythm in this song is incredible. Great reaction,

I think it's fair to presume they'd sell out in every venue if they would perform live and every rock musician in every town they would visit would be in the audience.

Apparently muse have seen this and were absolutely blown away really hope its true

Recently Yoyoka, drumming here, said they did 4 takes and each one was great. She indicated everyone was kinda surprised that everything went so well! Those of us who were introduced to the other musicians (other than Yoyoka and Ellen ) were happily surprised as well!

I used to be amazed at watching Ale kill that bass line when she was about that age when The Warning covered this song, but after following her channel for awhile now, I'd have to say that Ellen is a true bass prodigy.

These kids killed this cover.. Vinyas vocals were crazy!!.. Yoyokas and Ellens channel are very active with lots of great content, Bay the 9 yo has great content too

Thank you so much for the reaction! I had known Ellen, her bass playing is so darn good. I couldn’t believe little kids were playing.

Someone buy this poor girl a decent computer! lol. She deserves equipment that works!! lol. Great reaction...hope you are doing well! 😊😊

I know two of them .. Yoyoka on Drums and Ellen bass - this could not fail :)

I'm so happy to see these young people getting reacted to. I'm most familiar with Yoyoka on drums and Ellen on bass, but all are equally talented from what I can see. Both of those girls have received recognition from major musicians, and have even collaborated with them. I really hope the rest of these musicians are given similar opportunities of course. I do know Yoyoka's drum skill sets are quite extensive, and expertly plays everything from classic rock (she is a regular at the Whiskey A-Gogo in LA) to jazz to prog rock to anything she puts her mind to. The jazz band she is a part of features a Grammy-winning member as well, so she ain't no slouch hehe. Her story is that at the age of one or two she crawled over to the drum kit of her family's band, was lifted onto the knee of the drummer and the rest is history. But check out Ellen as well, who has a personality and smile as big as her talent. And all of the others of course, as I will 🙂

Ellen and Yoyoka played together before (check out their cover of Led Zeppelin - The Ocean) and became close friends. They have perfect harmony together. At that time they hoped to play together again and Yoyokas family was thinking about moving close to Ellens place.

Wow, great cover of one of my favourite Muse tracks. Such talent. Great reaction Jessie.❤

Aloha Flowers, my hope is that this group of young people keep in touch and continue to collaborate together, and hopefully start writing original songs!! They truly are gifted!!

The whole group is really good, but when you have a drummer of Yoyoka's caliber it helps a lot for the group's synergy. By the way Yoyoka has been considered professional for several years now. Yoyok and Ellen are like thunder and lightning when playing together.

Charlotte Milstein is a guitar godess!

Badass skills!!

Ellen's hands are like half the size of Chris Wolstenholme's but there's not the slightest hint that she finds this bass part a problem!!

I had the pleasure of listening to this last week on the bass player's site, Ellen Plays Bass. I've been a subscriber of hers for a couple of years now. Such an amazing group of young musicians!! Thank you for the great reaction 😊🤘❤️

And now, try The Warning's cover of Hysteria when Ale was 11, Pau 14, and Dany 16.

The lead singer has the same abilities and style as Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson of the B52s, and that is really saying something😊. Not to mention Ellen’s perfection on the bass, Yoyoka killing it on the drums, and the 2 young guitar players are brilliant! This is now one of my favorite covers of all time

That’s an interesting one, glad someone sponsored it - I had heard it before and another one. But I already knew about Ellen on Bass and Yoyoka the drummer, there’s some serious talent there! I remember Ellen getting invited to go see Steve Vai at his home and later go and perform with him and his band!

I first saw Ellen play a cover of "Tom Sawyer" maybe 2 years ago. She is quite a joker, check out her Bass battle with Davie504.

I've seen Ellen jamming with Charlotte on a couple of other videos. AMAZING! Que Dios Les Sigue Bendiciendo Mis Hijas!❤

I am a long time fan of Yoyoka and Ellen. They work well together. I also caught Bay when I saw Yoyoka in Austin and was impressed. All of the group are great. I believe they have some other songs to be released.

So cool that you did a reaction to this, thank you! I've been following Ellen for a few months, and she's an absolute joy to watch play. There's an interview with her and Charlotte and Ellen's dad that was fun to watch. It was great to see all of these very talented kids playing together, and I'm definitely up for more reactions to them.

I've heard this a few times now and the standouts for me were the guitar solo by the taller girl and then the vocals from the main singer coming out of the guitar solo. I'll be watching to see if any of them form bands and start putting out original music. And in case you didn't know, The Warning covered this song in 2015, live in front of their classmates. They would have been 15, 13, and 10 at the time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fU26wmlF3yg.html

Thats a tonne of talent!

Hi, first time I ran across your channel and I love your reactions! The little girl on bass is named Ellen alaverdyan. She actually has this cover on her channel from about 6 or 8 months ago and I think that was part of the push to get together and actually create this group and cover the song. Charlotte Milstein is the other girl on guitar and she also plays this on her channel. I do have one suggestion for you in the future. You might want to take the resolution of the RU-vid video down from 4K to 1080p it'll smooth out the video because you're only showing it's a very small portion of it in the corner of the screen, so I don't think you would notice a difference from the lower resolution, but it would be smoother 😎 other than that, I just subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see more!

I discovered this on the channel “ellenplaysbass”. Her name is Ellen Alaverdyan . I’m a follower of her. She is a phenomenal bassist, and cute as a button. You should check out her Rush “Tom Sawyer” cover bass line. This also covered a song from Boston. Ellen and Yoko also did a cover with some other kids of Led Zeppelin’s “The Ocean”. All worth watching.

a lot of TWA know Ellen from almost her start. been enjoying her growth. she also does a Penny Lane cover to die for.

Great reaction and these are some serious musicians. Ellen is getting so much better, been following her for about 2 years now and her playing just gets better and better. Yoyoka, I've followed her for 6 years now and seeing her play a cover of Led Zepplin' s"Good Times Bad Times" when she was 8 years old and won the "Hit LIke a Girl" drum contest for that year for the under 16 age group (she's now 14). When She was 11 she was added to DummerWorld's top 500 best drummers in the world (the youngest every). Both Elle and Yoyoka have sokme awesome covers on their cahnnel. Yoyoka now lives in LA and has been playing at the Whiskey on a weekly basis on Ultimate Jam Night.

You forget to comment on the bass player..the heart of this song is the bass..a nd she's so young to do the baselines of this song.

Here's Yoyoka when she was very young. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MkhGgqXywU8.html

Try Missioned Souls band from the Philippines their cover Hysteria,and the drummer is only 10 years old and the eldest is 15 and they are siblings.

Ellen plays live with Steve Vai

Good Reaction. Ellen (11) Yoyoka (14) are off the chain god. This is my first time hearing the lead singer. She is going places. The lead guitarist, Charlotte, is 13 and a prodigy. Please also know that Ellen, Yoyoka, and Charlotte, also have a cover of Led Zepplin’s Ocean on line. It also is amazing. This group has 2 more collaborations coming soon. BTW you look and sound just like Emma Stone! 😊

hope you tried this Mission Soul from philippines, they are sibling cover this song too. some videos with there mom and dad too. 😘😘

Try also to react the cover of Mission Soul of that song Hysteria by Muse

The boy playing guitar reminds me so much of me when I was his age! 😎🤘

These kids are so talented and following them now. I have followed Ellen for a few years now and she is fantastic, my favorite video of hers is her cover of the Beatles Penny Lane ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CgT4uNqo-GE.html she sings and plays the bass in this one, I think she is 9 in this one.

Interesting that you would say you don't know any of the other kids. This band was originally formed by EllenPlaysBass (from Las Vegas), a few months ago, although she publicized months before that she was looking for band members. It was then I mentioned that the drummer Yoyoka (whom I have been following for a few years now), just happened to be in the U.S. and suggested to Ellen to contact her. I am glad she made that choice. I am addicted to this video because I am all so proud of them. AGES: Yoyoka is 14. Ellen on Bass is 11. The three girls are 13, and the boy on guitar is 9 years old.

You definitely need a better computer. The frame rate sucks. I can't watch since I've seen this on many other reactions videos. That being said I get a kick out of the reactions to these amazing kids.

Yes Ellen is amazing but all the kids were.
