That moment you realize little kids are cooler than you is most likely to occur when watching this viral video of kids covering Enter Sandman by Metallica.These 8-10 year olds rocked out to the classic track at the Bucklebury Beer Festival last weekend.
Now, I have been playing the guitar almost as long as these kids have been alive (moment of feeling old), but even so, they put me to shame. When I was that age I was busy singing Disney tunes and Spice Girls, while these kids are covering Enter Sandman by Metallica.
Not only do I give them credit for rocking out to Metallica, but also for giving me faith that some of the younger generation might actually carry the good music of the generations before, onward.
I hope these kids keep on rocking! I'm going to go practice my guitar now.
