Ole Frank is like my 3rd son. Him and Milo have been bro's since they came out of the womb. Last weekend while his other two brothers and I were at Hood Defending all that is Awesome, he was playing with the School Of Rock. Vocals on a Mastodon song.
Pretty FUCKING Awesome Frank.
Even better is his Dads cackling at the end of the vid.
6/24 Update: I had sent this link as a motivational ending to a sales email to all the C3 reps. Got this response from Mr. Klocker: "I just sent this YouTube link to Mark G at Volcom Entertainment. He got all stoked and he forwarded it on to the Mastodon guys. He said they will love it! Let Frank know Mastodon saw him kill it. "
FUCK YEA BRO!
6/30/11 Update: Mastodon gets the link from Volcom dude who got it from Klocker. They put it up on their Facebook page. Views on this thing jump from 90 when the Tackledbox first put it up on June 23, to over 3,300 views. Every freaking comment on their site and on YouTube gives ole Frank props. Talk about Defending Awesome. Nice work Diego!
7/1/11 Update: 4,213 VIEWS. Newsflash: Not All Kids Suck At Metal!
"Not only did they have the balls to cover Mastodon, one of the greatest modern metal bands, but they also had the skill to fucking pull it off. Right from the moment they had the foresight to bring in two extra drums to pound the toms for the opening to Blood Mountain classic “Crystal Skull“, they were on to something.
Now of course, it’s not perfect. The main drummer is pretty awesome, but they do slip out of time with each other from time to time. It’s to be expected though; most of them are teenagers, and so they’ve probably got that gangly, don’t-know-what-the-fuck-my-limbs-are-doing thing going on. Believe it or not, I was there once. But when your vocalist, four-foot nothing and probably still in junior high, has a go at aping Troy Sanders and Brent fucking Hinds and doesn’t completely suck, you’ve gotta give them massive credit."
WHY CAN'T ALL SCHOOL BANDS BE LIKE THAT? motherfuck the plastic ass flute imitation recorder, all schools need this
ReplyDeleteSchool of Rock is awesome. Way better than my Catholic School Of Cock experience HIYOOOOOOOOOO
