These kids need to be highlighted on The Grammy's As Future Stars of Rock
Couldn't agree more!
never happen, all about the money, besides the grammys are a joke
Good bad
The Grammys couldn't care less about rock or musicanship.
Future rock stars will only be stars if they've created OG music Respectfully, musicians playing covers are referred to as "Cover bands"
When the rhythm guitarist is shredding, you know you're in the middle of something epic.
Never underestimate the drummer! This kid is incredible! These kids are amazing!
Now go watch Ian Paice... Then you'll know.
The keyboard player is the same from "The Final Countdown" - she is amazing
I knew it! That young lady throws pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
John Lord is a monster to cover.
These kids are great, but Erin on keyboards is the most enthusiastic
She's awesome but she needs to smile more to show that she's enjoying it. The rest of them seem to be having more fun than her.
@@monteyoung7126 You can tell she's enjoying it by the way she's dancing and singing along.
That's not an easy song for this 52 year old drummer to play. That kid on drums not only nailed it but took it a step further! They all nailed it! Great job, kids! Most adult cover bands couldn't have played it that well.
I agree
Agreed. He had a tight pocket, but his fills were crisp and clean.
That Keyboard/Guitar solo is KILLIN IT
That girl on the keyboard, rocks!!!
Erin has come a long way. She is great!
That lass in the keyboard is crazy good omg 🫶👊
The scream by the black singer at the start of the song was unreal! But Deep Purple would be proud of the lead guitarist, drummer, keyboard player, and everyone else in this production.
As a 63 year old, I must say I'm very impressed...Great job you guys, all of you were outstanding. I obviously grew up with this band and many others, had most of them on 8-track at one time or another...love watching you guys cover the music I am still in love with...Rock ON!
I'm 62, this was my first rock album. Yes they nailed it!
Come on kids! The future of Rock'n'roll are guaranteed!
the solos swap was just AWESOME.
nailed it.
Yup, all three guitarists took solos and all three nailed it - plus that amazing keyboardist!
I must add that Erin on the keyboards is really jammin’! Deep Purple was one of the legendary bands (and arguably the first heavy metal band) to incorporate smoking keyboard parts into their best songs. Keep on Rockin kids! You’re living your best lives!
Jon Lord was insanely good, noone plays like him. Very original.
I wonder if she has ever played a real Hammond M3
I always liked the way that Blackmore's guitar was played against lord's keyboard! That's just so cool!
@@thomastroutman667 It’s a ham in B3 with Leslie’s
As a 68 year old who listened to the Machinehead cassette in my van back when this came out....all I can say is u guys were fan freakin tastic.
Refreshing how the young people interpret "Highway Star". Respect !
100%
Great job, 🤘
That girl on the keyboard, I'm like "Go girl!" Well done, all of them.
Wow, these kid knocked this song out of the stadium............... great performance
NAILED IT!!! Vocals were sassy, guitars were solid, drum was in the house as well as the keyboard. Excellent
I gotta say the first girl nailed it. What a voice and what a little cutie. Great job
Has to be the single best SOR performance I've ever seen. This particular group clicked together very well.
That's the best vocal cover from "amateurs" EVER! Rock on!!!!!!!!!
Dream on
Jesus, Joseph and Mary, I lack the words to describe how good these kids are! What a fantastic job by everyone here. Just a great rendition of a Deep Purple hard rock classic song from way back in 1972. Thank you for helping to keep hard rock alive ! Somewhere, Jon Lord is looking down and smiling! Peace !
I would like to see a version of "Smoke On the Water" done by these kids. Ritchie Blackmore is still alive and I hope he sees this video.
ROCKING-N-ROLL is in good hands for sure with young talented people like this ,and a big thank you to there teachers .. out ...
The Drummer is ready for full time professional work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🕶️
Great job! Drummer is an ace!!!
I am 69 and started playing in bands at 14. These young ladies and gentlemen are killing it. This is an amazing version of Highway Star. I remember when this song came out on "Machine Head" by Deep Purple. Great work gang. Hope to see you do another song in the future.
i also am in my mid sixties and played in a garage band in my teens. i can't get over how well this school of rock puts together all these fantastic covers with such talented young people.
I’m 63 sure wish I would i picked up the guitar when I in grade school and learned it. Ole well live and learn. These kids are very talented.
Oh God! This is awesome! The keybord girl killed it AGAIN! Fantastic, thank you all for this video.
Same keyboardist (Erin) from The Final Countdown video. That girl knows what she's doing. Glad you gave her a shout out!
Erin (keyboards) always plays with so much passion!
And she's cute, too...
Love the way the keyboard and the guitarist dueted that solo. Awesome.
THIS is how you cover a song! Amazingly well done!
Amazing cover. Better than the original. I’m 65 and it’s great to see young folks play classic rock.
Better than original you must be tone, deaf
These young musicians and vocalists never cease to amaze me!
Normally when I hear Highway Star I think of the great sounds from the instruments but I love the way the two girls brought the vocals to the forefront…well done👍👍👍
Being an entertainer and stage performer is a giant step up from being a musician. If you're having fun, the audience will have fun. Great job team!
Wow...I had to put this on repeat. Guitarists are phenomenal as well as keys ..drums and vocals. That girl on guitar is Bad Ass.
I dang near fell out my chair with that into scream. You NAILED IT!! Awesome job everyone.
We had to pick our jaw up off the ground after that scream!
The Infamous Ian Gillian Scream. Often Imitated but never Duplicated. Until Now. f****N AWESOME.
Great Job AllStars. Awesome talent all around. Congrats Michelle. Love the rings...
he
We love Michelle!
The secret to this song is the driving bass and drums which they nailed big time. I love the theatrical vocals too, brilliant.
Love watching these teens rock out to the classics!
Got goosebumps with this one, what a great cover of this classic!
Best played with headphones on full
Hell yeah! Great job students. Wish they would have showed more of the bass player, that kid was rippin'
Thank you for pointing that out. I also was blown away by the awesome riffs he was playing on the bass. That dude rocked it.
Another great job by these kids and I gotta say the kid on the drums man he’s following Ian pace just about to the letter. Great job, One and all.
You guys and gals knocked that out of the park.
Absolutely outstanding. Made me miss my old 1972 Monte Carlo. ....sigh....
That was a solid performance, each and every one of them.
Thank you for Rockin’ this classic. You all kicked butt! The guitars were SHREDDING! 🤘🤘
Incredible but man that's some fantastic riffs coming from the guitarist. I was really taken aback!
Love this , Those vocals are killing it. God Bless these kids and their talent.
the vocalists are such power houses!! Keep on boasting that talent!
I like how the unassuming Michael Kay guitar kid who was apparently stuck in a closet for some reason smokes the hardest solo of the lot without breaking a sweat.
Not only a killer performance but I’m very excited to see the Warren DeMartini guitar being used to great effect.
Everybody was on point. Kristen and Michelle sing great together, the back and forth really added something to it!
JP and Witt, you had a tough assignment, playing Roger Glover and Ian Paice isn't easy, and you made it look easy!
Guitars: Great job, just too many of you for this song. Which is why the guitar duel. Fantastically done, but it robbed Erin of one of the shining moments in the song. She did a fantastic job with what was left of the keyboards. I say give her a B3 and let her ROCK it! (Literally, like Jon did)
Nice to see the young ones perform and appreciate our old time rock and roll!!!
Awesome job too, I might add!!!
Return of The Keyboard Queen Erin B!! Great job everyone!
Can't wait to see this one
You could drive 85 in a lot of states when this was written. The vocalists are fantastic and the sound quality is dynamite.
Just beautiful !!! Hope they do a cover of "Smoke On the Water" as well. Both girls on vocals are outstanding.
Done in the true spirit of Deep Purple. Well done!!
These young musicians did Deep Purple proud.They all nailed it and they put their own stamp on it without detracting from the original.It’s so great to see the young up and coming musicians carrying the torch for Classic Rock.
WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE SHE HAS
Year after year the School of Rock Allstars get better and better. Jon Anderson of YES is touring with Paul Green's Academy of Rock. How cool is that⁉️Awesome job by everyone on this Deep Purple classic❗
I experienced true pleasure listening to these guys. They are really very talented. And this is a very good performance of a 1972 Deep Purple song.
Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 woooooooo absolutely awesome
The fact that these teens chose a 50 year old song to play tells a lot about today’s music. I won’t be around to find out but I’d be surprised if 50 years from now someone is this passionate about any song from today’s catalogue of music. Well done and both girls were awesome singers👍👍
There is always good music being produced, but you won't find it on commercial radio anymore. Also, these kids tore this song up! Good job.
Love the dueling leads on vocals and guitar.
I got one criticism.
You only did one song. I want to see more of you kids, this is awesome.
They’ve actually done many more songs. They just do each in separate videos.
@
There are many school of rock videos, but they are with different groups of kids. Some are very good, some are so so.
I was talking about this particular group of kids they are the best one I have seen.
Doing a purple cover, everyone have their eyes on the keyboardist, no pressure at all! But you did great Erin, very good performance! I could see you where very focused!
The guitarist with the Charvel plays like a rock star.🤘
Every single performer involved pulled this off spectacularly. Has I can be sure many have replied this is hope for our future.
I am absolutely blown away by the IMMENSE TALENT I just watched! As a Deep Purple fan since the 70’s, this is the best cover I have ever seen…rock on! More talent on this stage than 99% of today’s “artists” 😊
You Guys Nail It! I like the harmonic solo Intro.... Fantastic.... double leads and everything!
On point! I felt the energy through the performance this song requires. Having fun when performing and using each other to drive it to the next level is what it's all about! GREAT JOB!!!
I have seen many groups do this song. This group is the best!
Never cared that much for this song but this version is awesome. So much talent. The guitarists in particular are killing it, but there are o weak links here - everybody performs to pro standards.
Just listened to some of the cool old originals that SOR Allstars cover, including this one. It’s truly amazing how much objectively better the School of Rock Allstars’ versions are, this song but so many others too. Much better vocals of course, but quite often better arrangements and tighter, cleaner instrumental work too. Major kudos to the kids but also to the instructors and the music director(s).
Every time I listen to this I pick up more. This time I really keyed in on the keyboardist, drummer and bassist, and man are they killing it. Not a lot of new eight piece rock bands today but these kids would be huge as a band, just so much talent.
this is so good!!! the singers were fantastic. so much hope for the future of music!!!!!!!!!!
Great choice of music...a true rocker. Old school. With a fantastic new twist, very, very well done!
As I posted in a couple of other videos from SoR I had been going through some intense chemo and radiation treatments. Music from SoR helped get through it. And now I'm done, at least that's the present, the future will come one way or the other. So now it's celebration time. Perfect song! Cars and girls, pure joy, hard line joy. Thanks!
May I suggest High Tides and Green Grass?
Holy cow, what a performance......................outstanding
Awesome job to all! Michelle, you are amazing! ❤️
She is amazing!
Thank you! ❤️🖤
Awesome Cover by these Young Stars! 🎶🤘🙌✨🎤🎸🥁
Folks understand you took on what I consider to be the finest classic rock song ever. Huge shoes to fill. Good job. 👍
What a great group ! Love the girl on the keyboard !
Fantastic performance! I'm always pleased to find that female vocalists can make me forget their male counterparts, who originally performed in many classic rock songs. Case in point: young guitarist Andrei Cerbu's 2 bands, The Voodoo Child and The Iron Cross. Both bands feature female vocalists and have an extensive catalogue of classic rock covers.
Shout out to The Voodoo Child, The Iron Cross, and Shut Up and Kiss Me. Andrei Cerbu and all his groups rock!
It would be unfair of me to point out one or two over the others. They were all truly fantastic in their execution!
What great artists! Thank you, School of Rock, for producing quality musicians
Great song! Fantastic musicians!
How CUTE are they!!!
😀
HOLY CRAP!!! Outstanding all the way around. I knew it was going to kick when the first singer hit all of Gillian’s intro notes. Then was totally blown away by the solo switch. It is totally something Deep Purple would have done. The drummer hit all of Paice’s licks smoothly- it didn’t sound forced. The guitar players nailed the solo just like Satriani does with Cicken Foot. And the vocals were just butt kicking amazing. This long time Deep Purple fan can’t say enough about how great this was! BRAVO ZULU!!!
You moved me to tears! You guys played it better than the original! Very good.
Great cover by a Great band that brought us the original heavy-metal sound. This heavy metal was fun to listen to
I lOVE what the bass player does!
Yes, thank you for saying so. That kid is killing the bass in this song. It sounds amazing!
Fantastic! Love the way they gave their own touch to this song.
WOWWWW!!!!! You guys really killed it!!!!!! So so so Great!!!!!! Instrumentals incredible and you two ladies are mesmerizing!!!!! All I can say is just WOWWWW!!!!!!! 🧡✌️
Thank you for the great feedback!
Again. Amazed at the clean production and talent. Putting a soul stirring spin on a rock classic. Just wow.
Plus it looked like a ton of fun! Nice work.
I love that they are pulling off the studio version live to this degree of accuracy. No way they could do this if they weren't actually feeling the music. Even the snarky lead guitarist me being one of them for way too long.
Damn this rocks & those vocalists are bringing it
Damn, this is so tight!! Great to see these young'uns kickin' ass like this...
Omg 😱 that scream. Ian Gillan would love that.. keep rocking kids ❤️🤘
they must have had so much fun at the school.....best school ever!
wow the keyboardist in this video is on fire. i hope she has a successful career in music she has mad talent.
Hits me like a hammer😊❤
