THIS MUSIC TEACHER FROM OHIO MUST REALLY HAVE A CRUSH ON PHIL ANSELMO

Monday, March 15th, 2010 at 2:30pm by

Remember last month, when we posted that awesome video of seven students from Aaron O’Keefe music-instruction school in Ohio playing Down’s “Ghosts Along the Mississippi?”

Well, Mr. O’Keefe has done it again, this time with seven different kids, ages twelve through sixteen, playing Pantera’s “Cowboys from Hell.”

There’s something kind of hilarious about a pre-pubescent voice doing Anselmo’s vocals, but there’s no getting around the fact that these kids are rule. And if you don’t think so, I’d like to ask you: could you play that well when you were that age? Is your child currently in his room practicing to play like Dimebag? No? Shut up, then.

Here are the names of the kids:

Tyler Rogers – Drums
Blake Hillard – Guitar
Peter Hoffman  – Vocals
Matt Lohmueller  – Guitar
Sam Parsons – Bass
Joe Hubbell  – Guitar

  • yetzer hara

    that teacher had another group of kids play cemetery gates.

  • Sammy

    No, I couldn’t.
    No, they can’t.
    And, no I can’t even now.

  • DecrystallizingReason

    The drummer nailed it.

  • WarPlanRed

    My hat goes off to those kids, they played better than most Pantera cover band

  • wormdrive66

    Shit all we got to play at High School Band was Yankee Doodle Dandy and King of the Road.

  • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

    same bassist. also, i like the vox on the other one better. seemed 2 suit pantera better

  • kexx

    wow that was cool, most adult cover bands can’t play as good as these kids.

  • soy el niño más bonito

    nothing better than a prepubescent “we’re taking over this town”

  • Ares (Formerly Anthony Showalter)

    This teacher is probably infatuated with Phil’s 14 inch long penis.

  • kingheadcrab

    drummer was dope. solo was dope.

  • Axolotl

    That guitar solo was great. Kid can play better at that age than quite a few of us will ever be able to.

  • Itheus

    Hats off to these kids. Always good to see metal in youth!

    Gotta love kids listening/playing good music, I wish I had rich parents to send me to music school when I was younger lol.

  • Zakk

    Everything was perfect except for the vocals. I understand that he’s about 12, but he could at least attempt making his vocals rough…

    • crapmcpoopin

      why ruin pipes like that trying to sound rough?

      • sic13

        thats what I was thinking. Doesn’t seem like he was too into the song but maybe he just didn’t want to fuck up having too much fun or something.

        The solo was killer though. That kid’s got some style.

  • Malacoda

    4 guitarists????????

  • CCJ

    This is cool, but have you seen the video of a couple of kids playing “Refuse, Resist”? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5wfqEwX4KM

  • Viking_xxx

    Anyone know what model Ibanez that kid in the middle is playing? Not the kid playing the solo…. It’s the one with the flamed maple top.

  • TJ Hillard

    Hey guys, I am in a band with the lead guitarist from this video. Become a fan of us on facebook please. We’re gonna have some sick stuff out soon. Hats off to everyone in this video! Nailed it!

    Thanks. \m/

    ALSO PS: @Viking_xxx, the kid with the ibanez guitar in the middle is my little brother. Its an Ibanez RG3EXFM1.

  • Paul

    I’m pretty sure this is in Kentucky (south of Cincinnati), not Ohio.

    Regardless, very cool. This is a good reason to keep promoting music education for kids.

    • Paul

      PS: I love Pantera, but Anselmo’s vocals on the original are fucking retarded. This is an improvement.

      • TJ Hillard

        No, the kids are from Ohio, but this recording studio is in kentucky.

        • Wilson

          OHIO FTW!
