KID COVERS DYING FETUS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TALENT SHOW
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 at 12:00pm by Axl RosenbergWell, the headline pretty much says it all. It was pretty brave (or stupid, I guess, depending on your point of view) for this dude to do this, but you gotta love that everyone goes nuts as soon as he starts headbanging. I assume most of them are applauding the act of doing something so outrageous (at least by high school standards) for a talent show and not the actual music, but, hey, support is support.

Thanks to our friend Bob for the video!
pretty good i’m in the middle with that band but hey at least this kid doesn’t seem the korn or slipknot type
Would’ve been better with shots of the principal’s face.
homie needs to go on a diet of bacon and donuts…put on some lbs, man.
I did the same thing in high school English class with a Skrew tape. Those were the daze. Embarrassing.
This is one of my favorite songs by Dying Fetus and he sounds pretty fucking good. This is pretty typical of your metalhead outcast. I wasn’t really an outcast but I hastily put together a band for a talent show my freshmen year and we did a HORRIBLE version of Harvester of Sorrow. People went fucking apeshit. It was pretty hilarious to watch 300 high school kids, most of which had no knowledge of metal AT ALL actually, authentically get into it. We won, btw.
I don’t understand people… really, what’s wrong with this world?
Taking your example…
Here, in my country, people love Afro or Disco or whatever the hell you’d call those genres that people listen to, I don’t know exactly… anyway… the fact is that metal is the last of the genres in order of preference (I can say this by knowing more or less what kind of music is listened by the people I know, which is never metal – and by metal I mean, at least, bands like Metallica or Iron Maiden or mainstream bands like that…). But. When these people get to hear some metal then they’re all like: “Oh my god, this is fuckin metal!!! yeiiii!!! yeaa!!! Br00tal!!!” and they start playing their air guitars and all of a sudden they’re into fuckin brutal metal… and this goes from the 10 years old kid to the 30 years old married lawyer. I don’t get these people. It seems that people don’t understand that metal it’s not an evil beast that you have to hide from society and that you can set free only under certain circumstances. This is an old debate but here it’s alive and kicking… I speak for my country since I don’t know the deepest mechanisms of the societies outside it.
wow. looks like that japanese cross dressing metal band found a new vocalist.
i did brutal truth walking corpse for an english class back in the day
Nice dude. I did Emperor, Curse You All Men!
That’s actually really cool. My brother and I used to cover Metallica all the time when we were in high school. Blasted through the entire Mercyful Fate Medley once. Everyoned loved it. Always loved playing that.
haha that’s pretty solid.
nice leather pants dude
der!
Breakdown!
this fucking rules! br00tal sch00lkid!!!
His vocals sound good, but he looks like shit.
I had 43% Burnt as my background music for a computer project I had to do my senior year. The teacher started to play it, in front of the entire class, and right when Dimitri’s vocals started he said out loud, “What the fuck is this shit?” Needless to say, I passed the project, and got a good laugh out of scaring an old man!
nice job for that cover :)
awesome! i did karaoke at a big lan-party some years ago, guns ‘n roses welcome to the jungle, and i screamed my lungs out and people loved it and i made it to the “next round”. then i totally blew it when i tried to sing the next song with my regular voice :P (europe – final countdown)
very embarassing but no regrets ;)
We need more high schools that allow for people to play this! \m/ Mine would flip out and suspend him, unfortunately.
what a dude
This is why metal isn’t taken seriously.
what the fuck is wrong with his pants
They are very shiny. And that’s silly.
I used to play some death metal licks in the hallway of my high school. I got suspended for a week… I guess you can’t do a vocal/guitar cover of Addicted to Vaginal Skin without someone getting offended in fucking mormon utah.
Ah man, this brings me back. For a while dating way back to freshman year of high school, I was the vocalist of a band called Sour Diesel (hence my name). All our members went to the same school, so we played at whatever school events they would let us play at, which was pretty much anytime we asked. We had assemblies on a regular basis and we played at those, as well as formal dances where metal was completely inappropriate. We thought we were so funny and clever naming our band after a strain of weed, so all the students would get it but none of the teachers would…I remember the first time we played we had a whole auditorium cheering at full volume just for our name, and all the faculty were confused as shit. We also used the luxury of unintelligible vocals to our advantage, singing songs about drugs and kinky sex and all sorts of debauchery four feet away from our principal who just smiled and clapped and tried to make sense of it. When we started out our music scared the shit out of people but we did become somewhat of a fixture at the school until we all graduated, just from playing at a shitload of school events for 4 years. I don’t think we were nearly good enough to succeed anywhere except high school but…good times anyway.
i dont think you would have had to mask your lyrics in growls, a lot of music played at school functions is just as raunchy. hell our faculty was oblivious to the message of 50 cents’ candy shop song. and they cheered along while the cheerleaders danced to it.
The kids that cheered will be spared the day he comes to school blasting.
LOL
How true.
So “singing along to” is now synonymous with “covering” a song?
I can’t wait in ten years to hear the band this kid does vocals in. Nicely done.
Nice! When I was at Catholic High School (I’m not now nor have I ever been catholic), my band covered Anti-Nowhere League’s “So What” and we all got suspended.
Wow, I actually know what high school that’s shot in. Small world, Metalsucks
Wow, damn.
I posted this thing about two years ago. Yeah, I looked like shit, mostly because I was growing my hair out and was damn clueless. I am from Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
And by the way, I was more into black metal, hence the leather pants and Darkthrone shirt.
Thanks for posting me! \m/
