This is a video of 7th grader Tanner Benedict, who’s been playing guitar for four years, performing a metal medley on electric guitar at his school talent show. He’s, uh, he’s pretty good. His set list, which I begged him for his hard copy of after the show along with a guitar pick:

‘Rain’ by Rob Scallon, ‘Holy Wars’ by Megadeth, ‘Raining Blood’ by Slayer, ‘Alison Hell’ by Annihilator, ‘Omnipresent Perception’ by Beyond Creation, ‘Eruption’ and D.O.A. by Eddie Van Halen (rest in peace) and ‘Cowboys From Hell’ by Pantera.

Wait — why is there no stage? What kind of talent show doesn’t have a stage? Tanner deserves a stage. Ooh, and a mosh pit. Man, I still remember the first time I got into a mosh pit, and let me tell you — it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack trying to find your tooth in one of those things.

Keep going for the video, metal medley begins around 2:00.
