"Fade to Black" - Becker High School Talent Show 

So you mean drummer sucks 😂

Antti Rytkönen no

Good one!

Yeah that’s pretty much the life of a drummer (sincerely, a drummer)

Elliatto yes

Literally choked so hard, water came out my nose. Thank you for the laugh :)

😄😄😄😄😄😄

And you my friend win comment of the day 🏆🏅🏅

Hahahaha that was the look in 2009😂

Oh my god lol!! Ty for that.

This was almost 15 years ago. So maybe a 37yo teacher. LoL I kid... I kid...

54 year old math teacher here !!! Loving it !!!

where

and then he replighs...... 🤣true

48 year old science teacher here!

Good but missing the grit.

They weren’t all that good but ok.

Ok, kiddo...

he sounds similar to James he just needs more experience

@@jamespeace2984not every singer wants or is able to add grit to their vocal style. But I get ur point!

{StrYKePlaysMC / johnpick} Hypixel PvP that’s funny 😂

Haha...W. t. F.... 😂

😂so good! Nice work

😂😂😭😭😭😭😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bahahaha!😂😂😂

Guys got a good voice for this 🤷‍♂️ even the bass player looked surprised. But that solo was sweet tho

He didn't exactly nail it, but he played it better than a lot of professional guitarists I know could. I'm talking about you, Steve.

@@glynnthacker8048 steve left the band

Yeah I was talking about my Steve, though

I like to imagine that they were blew away at the solo and were speechless then he sang and they started cheering. Probably not but o can dream.

Indeed hello from 2022

and 2023

nda 3202

it's like an expression of pure youth ambition and honesty and naivity in a good untainted way

me too

At first I couldn't tell they switched because it was so smooth

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!!

Cameron Sales *Cliff Cargoton

* Robert Cargollo

Lmao! 😂😂😂😂

Dave Cargstaine

Cameron Sales Seriously underrated comment

lmao

F

Riptide wasnt a song when the video was uploaded lol

Middle School choir be like

Funniest shit I’ve seen ina while so true tho

But that's ALWAYS the case. Poor bass players of the world. 😢 They don't get no respect. 🤘😬🤘

this bassman is really having fun. Isn't it main point of talent show? I think he did alright

He didnt play it right tho😢

​@@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.

Cliff didn't play with a pick. Cliff would still be be proud! Bassists are always underrated! (yes I am a bassist)

I’ll keep an eye out for your non pick bass playing video with 8 million plus views…

​@erikkibler3466 these kids are awesome no matter what anyone says...I wonder where they are today...

Think of it as a play on ZZ Top, where the drummer is the only member without a beard. This guy wears jeans

Also lars do it too! He wears fvcking white shirt and the rest of the band is black 😂

And he didn't know the song at all. Lol

😂😂

Shorts*

And unfortunate

It was because of the shorts !

@@joe7917 it really was ...maybe they shouldve played some Chains

@@jessealc7746 u asked around ....it was

😶

Cargo shorts were a nice touch too. Don't discount the shorts!

I was impressed how they passed off the guitar parts to each other

I love the comments! These are 3 beauties!

The intro is pretty easy.

@@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

@@ronanmusic118 i did

@@artemisgd3824 you're right i'm a beginner and i've learnt it quite quickly

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

He must have been a sub for the real drummer.

Highkey****

Go blue

"You just had to, didn't you?"

hahhhaa

Well ya, there was no reaction to him nailing that intro perfectly. Yea the kid has a decent voice but this must've taken a long time

the song itself isn't hard until the outro solo

Im a bass player and FTB has a bridge before the final verse that is hard af to play with fingers, but with a pick its easier

They Recognize they can't do it.

@@beeftestie0539 duh

It's because he is using a picc

he is not a real slapper

Slap like now if you agree

If you watch closely in the end of the video you can see him and the lead guitarist in the red shirt doing a high five too

He is not epicc cus hes using picc

Pretty good ?? This shit is fkn amazing , I’m 45 and must have heard this song a million times and all I got to say is DAYUM!

@@daendiznighI’m with you. At 52 years old, I’m not much older and I agree with you wholeheartedly. I was very lucky to have been in a band with the same kids from ~13-18 years old, (we were ALL the same age! 😂). That was before computers so we did a lot of rewinding and stylus lifting. Huge kudos to the kids, all of them grown up and gigging regularly!

Damn it Mark*! Says the names in bio hahaha

Its always the drummer

This shit made me die I’m high asf😂😂😂

Hes a rebel

Skippy M i got a great laugh from this

check out scream inc

That may actually be the funniest thing I’ve ever read on RU-vid 🥂

Really underrated comment 👍🏻

Fucking hilarious😂😂😂

This cover should also be called "Fade to Tan"

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.

The Witcher Tyler Is strat so bad for solos ?

@@davidschraiman4323 No but strats don't handle a huge amount of distortion well because they have single coil pickups in them

im sorry...you meant the mixer... not the guitar

Yeah I hate how no one cared

Did anyone notice he was wearing a Rage Against the Machine t-shirt?

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)

Someone in the comments said the one in the red shirt is a doctor now.

Perhaps he’s a Doctor who plays gigs with his high school classmates on weekends?

*shorts

Ok there's 3 all w the Cargos. Hello, Somebody gets the joke! ( Repia) 😆

I wear a pair of cargo pants over another pair of cargo pants and im twice as good bra

@JooJ just like the real Metallica

Which one of the three?

My friends in high school in the late 90s had a band and played Metallica all the time.

@@TheKARI31 which songs did he perform?

Agreed

There was 4 of them.

I can think of one thing guys dream about much more in high school.

true

cargo short are metal as metal can be

High schoolers gonna high school

Hell I've been there

Lol

They prefer bad bunny

Idk sounds like they got a pretty good reaction 🤷‍♂️

They probably did because its a popular song

@@dutchvanderlinde4653 but they didn’t cheer until he started to sing even tho they Alr knew what the song was

pretty sure than a couple of guys knew it, that's enough for art

YES

AMEN BROTHER

I'd give this comment a like but you have 420 and I can't be the one to ruin that.

@@i0W4N I'm one of those 420 people. 😎

The cargo tour 2020 lol

+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

probably a bunch of fan girls that had a crush on the kid singing.

Simple minds only understand singing, that's why music is where it is right now

+GHLinkinmanuTnobody even knows what a guitar is anymore. oh fancy wooden noise maker thing awesome!!!!

+GHLinkinmanuT of course nobody talked or cheered, if someone began to do that they would get their ass kicked for interrupting such a sick moment

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.

Fact

and the RU-vid viewers.

Cant like its on 666

Nowadays yeah prob but i bet that in 2009 in high school there were a couple more people headbanging

@@syyllinen Eh I was in high school in 09 and maybe 10 of the 150 kids of my grade liked metal.

Guitarist inside: REEEEEEE

Me:😑

Me: 🙄😤

unfair stupid people xddd

They were pretty hyped for that halfway solo though

because now it's JB (Justin Bieber) era, not JB (Jason Becker) era

hsman98 it's retarded, people don't know the amount of skill required to play a solo.

rizal kartos it's a real shame about Jason if didn't get sick he would have gone down as the best guitarist ever

agree

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!

Od rather listen to listen than actual Metallica lol

Yeah exactly

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

😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

😂😂

Welp 2010 cargo shorts everywhere lol

Finally a funny comment.

lol

Johsty Bach still better than Lars Ulrich

kek

Johsty Bach agreed

Holy shit

LOL... I spat my coffee at this comment... You sir have won the internet today for me.. :-P

The only way to be noticed as a bass player is by playing while singing.

+SigmaTV don't forget delivering your pizza

xD

+SigmaTV Did Cliff sing? ;)

HundredJono fuckkkk hahahahahaha

Lol but this was 8 years ago nowadays kids are going to 2nd grade

This is fuckin hilarious

It's because the singer hit 6' and red t-shirt did not. He's just 5'10, not to mention the bass player, he's literally nobody at this height.

Maybe they know the singer more than the other guy

@@atlas_rise_ It was a cynical comment on the typical mindset of highschool youth. Of course it's possible they know him better.

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.

I thought they were lesbians

uch more emotional than fade to black isnt possible... only tools 10.000 days perhaps...

more emotional than fade to black ?

Chad came out and played wonderwall.

Played Dyers Eve.

@@Jason-to5cs 😂

Seconded!

After learning guitar I have big respect for anyone who plays an instrument

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 Facts

@@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?

the kid in cargo shorts was clearly the more talented

I would say But they're talented perhaps

@@thegreatitudecoach you sure? I think the otherone in Cargos was better

@@thegreatitudecoach That's pure practice.

the strat didn't have enough frets to play the end anyway. good planning on their part

true... new generation is fucked up...

Mike Best You're fucked up.

shevierom And what is that exactly? As far as I know in previous generations it was socially acceptable to smoke in public around children and little babies. It was also socially acceptable to hate on black people, they didn't even have the same rights as citizens in the world as the rest did. THAT is fucked up.

true!!

More than 95%

ExileStriker The Cargo That Should Not Be

Enter cargoman

The cargo that never comes Fade to cargo Cargo and destroy Of wolf and cargo

Cargo up your ass😂😂😂

Cargo torn

🤣yes!

oh my god how isnt this top comment lol

Underrated comment

UGHHH!

😂😂😂😂

I appreciate the dedication to this comment.

@@HeKillzthaJezta thanks man, it took me so long xD

Underrated AF🤪

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

@@bipbipletucha irony dude xd

So the drummer is bad?

xxxuselesspricksxxx god it’s metallica 2.0

Wait a minute 🤔

xxxuselesspricksxxx yes he is bad

lol haha

lmao

Cargo shorts and a prs. He must be on tgp.

True even hear of wearing jeans and long sleaves

hahahahaha thinking about that when watched the video and its the first thing i see in tha comments.

nice Superbad reference

Except your cousin Lemmy that bought a Scandinavian mail order bride....

Lol

@@darrenlynch9047 Kilmister?

That's where you're wrong bucko 😂

Underrated comment.

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

@@sarahwolfe1154 Ooof, that sucks, but he's got a good taste in music.

AMEN!!!!

@@sarahwolfe1154 bruh

nice job.

hahah true dat

you mean khaki cargo shorts ;P

if you were a fucking dork

strocat25 and here you are, living in the past cause all you got is a date with your hands.

Took me 2 1/2 minutes (I found out by reading comments)

... and cargo shorts for all

Your welcome. From the band kids.

Caleb Herbert honestly kind of annoyed the drummer isn’t wearing any

Hue Mungus its bullshit!

Playing guitar and sing at the same time requieres skills but yea, this still triggers me

Well he's actually a good singer. Pretty much everything about this is amateur hour but the singing.

it should tell you that guitar solos are only cool to guitar players. never play for musicians, musicians never wanna pay in.

RSimusic lmao not true. Plenty of people react to covers all the time and love the solos but are just meh on the singing.

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

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.

You had me at cargo pants 👍🎶🎶🎶truly awesome for any age 💥🎶🎶🤙

Awesome!

Yeah, and not in a good way. This is toe curlingly bad. Seriously.

​@@robashton8606dude what

they are fading into the black

And Metallica is 57

jdl 96 Lol The fuck you think “Pushing Thirty” means?

@@blaker4807 Lol... no shit. What a Bozo.

I was 10 back then now I’m 22 so probably

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

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
