Black Friday: Jonah rocks

Friday, September 25th, 2009 | musiX

You thought (hoped) Black Friday was dead and gone. HA! It just moved underground for a few weeks.

I found this at MetalSucks (which is where I get a lot of my weird and random metal goodies that don’t involve me writing about Slayer or KISS or Mastodon).

There’s this 4-year-old kid named Jonah who can smack the skins better than a lot of the drummers he’s imitating (I’m talking to you, Lars). The li’l guy apparently chooses all the songs he plays and even has his own Web site, fittingly titled Jonah Rocks. Jonah can be seen playing along to bands that have some of the best drummers of all time (Peart?! Moon?!), as well as a few metal masterpieces from Metallica and System Of a Down. Impressive. Makes me want a kid or two … wait, did I just say that out loud? Ahem … here are a few of my favorites:

Metallica - “Harvester of Sorrow”

System of a Down - “Chop Suey”

The Who - “Won’t Get Fooled Again”

KISS - “Rock and Roll All Nite”

Van Halen - “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love”
