Hi all. Mario Aparicio here. I am their teacher!! Ready For Geddy is from Archie Williams High School in San Anselmo, CA. Super happy you are giving them the recognition they deserve. This was for a Performance Workshop class concert back in December. The bass player made All Northern Honor Jazz Band and the others are a part of my award winning Archie Williams High School Jazz Band. Have a good rest of your week and keep up the good work on Reaction Videos 👍🏽🔥🎶
Thank you for reacting to our video! This was for our school music class, but we also have a rush cover band outside of school with almost the same members called “Ready for Geddy.”
Bro the bass and drums u guys are legit. What 8 wouldnt give to have found a cpl guys who were junkies like i was we couldve ruled the world! Now go forth my youngvrock wizards and blow minds w ur vicious rock 🤘🏻
Megadeth was clearly just the warmup. The band is called "Ready for Geddy" and in their first group pic on insta the bassist is wearing a Rush shirt. HELL YEAH! 🤘
@@noahcasey3700 That was some serious bass playing there, you killed it. I'm actually glad your lead guitarist didn't have a boost pedal because I could hear the bass pretty well, which is something I'm normally not good at :) All the best to all of you, keep on playing, music is a beautiful way of spending your free time and share time and good vibes with other people.
@@noahcasey3700 You guys kicked ass, and now you're getting the props you deserve! Congrats 🎉 Not sure how you got to be such a good bass player with a drummer for a dad 😉 Get your singer a vocal boost so we can hear her better! 🤘
At 16 I would have screwed up Every Rose Has It's Thorns if I had tried to play it in front of the school. I got over that, but at that age I would have bombed
Yeah I’m sure after multiple times touring the world to that point in his career, and in 1987 after Master of Puppets -where they blew Ozzy off the stage every night - that he couldn’t pull this off at all.
You guys aren't getting it. Here opens up the song at between 160-170bpm with 16th notes. Watch the lead guitarists right hand. The only time he isn't down picking every note is during the solo.
As a fellow student of the Archie Williams High School Music class, everyone in this band are such amazing people and an inspiration for me. watching these kids play at such a skillful level and getting internet recognition is incredible and truly deserving of them. y'all are amazing!!!
The bassist is a stand out for sure. I am pretty sure Ellefson uses a pick, so playing finger style is really cool and his licks added a lot to the song
Yes, and that's NOT a good thing. The 90s were 30 fookin' years ago. These kids weren't even close to being born. You're NOT supposed to look and act like your parents and grandparents in the Rock-n-Roll world, much less Metal. Zoomers are simply devoid of creativity and originality. "Never trust anyone over 30", remember?
It’s ridiculous. Most high school bands have maybe 1 talented kid. Mayybe 2. But for them all be this good? It’s almost unbelievable. I wonder how big their school is. It was almost impossible for my high school band to just find a drummer at all 😂
I think you’re spot on… mistakes are part of live music, and it’s not really whether you make a mistake or not, it’s what you do next that counts and this band nailed it. To be fair of course it’s harsh even calling them mistakes, minor wobbles in a tough track that we all know inside and out (to listen to, most of us can’t play it!) because it’s so iconic.
I’m totally late to commenting but I’m the girlfriend of the main guitarist and a friend of the singer and they were both nervous and actually killed it you can hear me screaming in the beginning haha. This is for a class at our school which is even crazier then a talent show.Y’all so awesome thank you for the love!
This is awesome! Congrats on 867k Subscribers! How funny that I sent you a video of high schoolers playing last night as well. I believe that was an original song though. I'm definitely impressed with the singer, love how she's singing it. She seems super relaxed and groovin', and she knows the words, I don't think I can see her reading from anything. They looked super happy at the end, love that. Damn, i'm impressed with all these kids. I'm feeling pretty good and actually quite inspired by them watching this🙂
Ehh..the singer is shite, period! Understanding the exceptional time and effort the rest of the band has spent getting this good at their instruments, and then they bring along someone who cant even sing...must have been a massive shortage of vocalist at the time. Sorry, don't hate her, but her ambitions are larger then her skills! It's like hearing Drake trying to cover Freddy Mercury (Queen). 🙂
Yeah he is extremely proficient and seemed more relaxed . The Drummer needs a better Kit but did a hell of a Job with what he has !! All around Impressive the whole band . Singer needs some more projection in her voice and more Bite for this style of music but she was very good as well . Better then my 1st band but we practiced alot after we were DENIED to play Holy Diver in the HS talent show they wouldn't even let us play Rainbow in the Dark . So being POed Gen-X kids , in about a Month we were doing 3 - 35 to 40 min. sets at Local Bars and Teen clubs where we really shined and worked our Individual talents out !!!
That kids hero is DEFINITELY Geddy lol. I'd like to hear him try and sing.. except the girl upfront was killing it! I bet she can do Rush pretty well too
@@noahcasey3700dude sick bass playing you killed it. Also tell the rythym guitarist that he did great too no one is talking about how tight he was for some reason
Great performance by these young musicians. You said they pulled off a very challenging song in front of an "audience" but it's an audience of their peer's! Which makes it 10x more difficult (IMHO) And... you are very special to help Show Case these kids! 😁
So impressive that at 2:01 a guitar falls from fainting on stage right ( to our left behind the fender amp, oh wait it's all fender amps!!) :) Went to see a bar band this weekend, Metal Covers, the guitarist pulled his cable out just before a solo cause he didn't do the wrap around trick! Thanks Mike!
The difficulty of the rhythm parts in many classic Megadeth songs rivals that of a lot of guitar solos, so the rhythm guitarist definitely deserves his share of the props.
choosing TOS plus the solo as a highschool band to play reminds me of myself trying to do a satch piece for my first show. only difference is that i failed most miserably
I love these vids... your comments are spot on. Funny, educating and smart. This band is really good, I used to teach kids to play in bands and I know all about it - you need to be dedicated. These kids are doing a great job
I'm so glad that they're going viral, I remember when I found their video when it had like 200 views and was confused why it wasn't getting more attention
Glad I'm not the only one that thought the rhythm section was tight, well done Young Uns! Edit: Also, the Rhythm guitarist hair is fricking epic, love it!
They have a great teacher teaching them that down pic strokes man..... Kids ard gonna be good if they keep it up . Hell I still remember my talent show in 93. Bells and Sandman lol
I’m so glad you did this video. I saw the video a few days ago trying to see how other people played it and as soon as I saw the thumbnail I clicked instantly
As a fan of the teen brother band Hammerhedd, I truly am impressed. Hammerhedd are brothers, so because they've grown up together they know each others que's. Theses kids aren't siblings and they have it down. Kudos! Way better than I ever was!
Their lack of nervousness is likely able to be credited to either their current band teacher or a former one. I attribute my complete unfamiliarity with stage fright in pretty much any context to a series of great band directors. We were pushed starting in 4th grade to perform and even take solo parts. My when I first joined a school band our director went way out of his way to get as many kids as possible to play an excerpt from our method book as a solo at every performance. They know they're good, they know that mistakes are best out in the open where you can learn from them.
It's one thing to play in front of a big crowd of people you don't know but it's on a different level when it's people that you see every day and they nailed it 🤘.
That feeling of knowing you just played a tight set and people were into it and it was a big crowd or a town you haven't played before. Ugh bro that feeling is amazing I hope these kids got that. Something not a lot of people get to experience. Then you have the other side where your set is shit guitars won't stay in tuned drums fall apart people.forget the set and you can't wait for it to end haha
God I love that song.... they did great. It's awesome to see people their age into older music. There's always music playing at work and I love to ask people what band is playing.... so often I get a response along the lines of "oh that's before my time."
Hey I'm a bassist so I'm blown away by this kid on bass but the whole band is awesome. I gotta draw attention to that rhythm guitarists. They were awesome and held down the song.
I actually got choked up a little bit on this. It's one of my favorite songs from Megadeth. I love seeing younger people explore the boundaries of life. I'm 56 years old. I would love to see metal move into the mainstream again. I was very pleased with the performance here. Bravo! I'm going to watch it again and try not to get choked up this time.
Great video. There is hope for Gen Z. Have you heard of a band called The Warning? They did a cover of Enter Sandman about 11 yrs ago that went viral. Two years ago Metallica invited them to be part of the Blacklist album and they did a new rendition with a vocalist named Alessia Cara. They did several other covers back then when they were aged 9-13 including ACDC and GnR. They did do a cover of Atlas Rise a few years ago ago but have stuck to doing originals. Their 4th album is due out this year. if you havent been warned yet they are worth checking out! Its just 3 sisters who love rock but what a big sound they make!
The downpick technique is insane, he's only moving his thumb! Reminds me of the Sum 41 guitarist. He showed us his technique in a guitar magazine about 20 years ago.
This was awesome, they pulled it off great. That's a bold song to tackle right there. Great idea to have a female sing Dave's parts, I think that's a "sound"! More girl singers in metal, yeah!
Great job by these young but well trained musicians. The stand out for me is the drummer. Holy shit dude. This kid has just a basic 5 piece kit with just 3 cymbals and he pulled off the Massive drum sound of Nick Menza and his 12 piece 8 cymbal kit! Talent shows like this makes me feel inspired about the young musicians coming out nowadays 🤘🏼❤️
you should check out my friends band but back in the day called black tide, . he was 14 or 15 when he wrote the songs and the solos. this was so good , for no in ears too , just going off the amps. Bassist ripping up B minor like a champ
Zoomers with life in their eyes and talent in their bones? IT'S A MIRACLE! Sincerely, zoomer me. Teenagers used to be this cool back in the '80s and before. You could say '90s, but the only cool thing in the '90s was Motörhead.
I grew up when that album came out and saw Megadeth live on this tour. To see the youth not just embrace, but really enjoy this song…chokes me up. I hope Dave Mustaine sees/comments on their performance 🤘
