Best cover of Enter Sandman I’ve ever heard? Check. Amazing when it’s being performed by The Mini Band, a group of youngsters aged between 8- and 10-years-old. Wow.
This video has become a big hit on YouTube, with 1.5 million views at the time of writing. It shows The Mini Band performing a cover of Enter Sandman by Metallica at the recent Bucklebury Beer Festival.
The lead and rhythm guitarists are particularly brilliant, and the drummer is a natural. The only disappointment is the singing, which isn’t the kid’s fault by any stretch of the imagination; it’s just that a young voice doesn’t suit the song.
I’m guessing we’ll be seeing a lot more of this band in the future. There is already talk of them appearing on a U.S. chat show. I certainly want to hear more. Mind blown.
