You can almost see his soul trying to run away from his body while he tries not to do any mistakes in front of the band

0:30 Dave is the sound-tech 0:42 "can you hear yourself now? 0:43 *kid yeah* 0:44 Dave: well then... Then i'm not needed anymore, i'm out 0:50 David: aww, cmon man 0:51 Dave: fuck it, i'm gonna make another band 1:36 Dave: Okey guys, fuck it.. I'm gonna be Megadeth's new drummer. I just have to practice first

Dave Ellefson is most nice-guy-looking person in all metal.

Megadeth is so happy to playing with this guy

Guy is invited to jam with Megadeth, shows up in a Maiden T-shirt!

He should have worn a Kill 'Em All t-shirt.

"Hey kid you're pretty good, Dave you're out of the band."

Dave: "Do you hear yourself now?" Kid: "Yes sir!" WTF ??? Dave's face - epic

People criticizing the guy's facial expression should lay off a bit. Some guitarists find it hard to do even simple things such as smile when they're playing as they're mostly concentrating on playing at their best.

Awesome chance to jam with Megadeth. I dont know why people are commenting on the Iron Maiden shirt. Dave's wearing a Led Zepplin shirt. Led Zepplin and Maiden are old school bands. Nothing wrong with wearing those shirts.

He's young and trying hard to not mess up. That's the real takeaway.

He's playing with the greatest thrash metal band of all time and I don't see him smile once... :/

Please, you too will probably be stone faced in shock if you suddenly find yourself playing guitar with Megadeth and Mustaine is your guitar tech.

make a wish kid : i dont want to go to disneyland i just want to keep living make a wish staff :

gets to play with megadeth backstage, wears an iron maiden shirt nice

6 years later, he still isn't smiling!

I love Megadeth and I am a huge supporter of Make-A-Wish foundation. This is very great of the band to do.

That's cool, Dave's wearing the exact same shirt that my friend gave me a year back. It's kinda a sentimental shirt because she took her life not too long ago, so watching Dave and the guys give this dude a chance to tear it up with them is cool to me, and to see that Dave walks around wearing the same Led Zeppelin shirt I wear is kinda cool too. You guys rocked!

He is so happy that can't even show a single feeling.

How great would it have been if they plugged his guitar in and he just started playing Ride the Lightning??? LOL!!!

By the gods... did someone shit into that kid's breakfst or something? He looks like he's gonna "kill 'em all" for real yo

1:48 - HE SMILED :D FINALLEH

Guys ffs, he is nervous but more important, he is supposed to die very soon... ( I wouldn´t be smiling or jumping) I hope he is ok right now.

0:45 Dave is like: now what the fuck do i do

I dig how Dave is such a perfectionist with the sound in the beginning, but then just starts having fun and that's really cool. This is an awesome experience, and congrats on whatever it too in making it happen.

As a person who doesn't readily smile, and has always felt self-conscious about it, I'd like to say stfu! when he wants to smile, or feels like it, he will. Nothing more annoying then people saying "why don't you smile?". Or how about the opposite, and I just stare at you.

"The guy without emotion"

Dave is at the drums like "ill hit this you hit that" Awesome, and the guy playing with them can't really start smiling nor distracted, he doesn't want to look like a newbie, sure he can play, super good job!

hes not being bored,he's just taking it all in-this is probobly gonna be the highlight of his life-god bless him

probably Chris was asking him, ''can you play the solo?''

nice smile kid. overflowing happiness

i love how you try to keep your shit together while dave mustaine is asking you if youre comfortable

Great Job, and very cool you got this opportunity. Hard to smile and talk while your concentrating on playing with MEGADETH. You did a great job. I seen some comments about people saying you weren't smiling enough. I wouldn't be able to talk or smile while playing either. As soon as I started talking to them while playing I would of screwed up. They play this song 1,000's of times and can jump rope and do backflips while playing. And never miss a beat.

1:38 dave mustaine teach how play drums to shawn drover

This is so awesome. I know the feeling of meeting your own heroes. You're afraid to smile, you're pretty much afraid to do anything around them. Good playing dude, Im happy you got to play with them.

How awesome! Glad this happened for you. Great cover!

Acting like a robot...

Oh come on man! Headbang! Jump! Look at them in their faces!

Absolutely incredible!

Awesome man! I know if I were playing with my fav band I’d struggle just to keep from passing out ! Rock on!!! 🤟🤟🤟

Damn you're good. Don't give up the fight either. I think there's more for you ahead in this life. Bless Megadeth for allowing this to happen too. You guys rocks!

Poor kid its hard to look alive when your dying

I was thinking on this for Make-a-wish too!

So amazing they do things like this... Makes me love them 100% more...Didn't think that was possible since they were my biggest influence on guitar..

... WHY IS HE NOT SMILING? THIS IS AMAZING, WHY NOT SMILE?

Lucky and Unlucky kid at the same time lol Obviously lucky for being able to play with those guys but playing guitar when Chris Broderick is that close to you and closely watching you is like coding in front of Bill Gates... there is absolutely no way you can feel comfortable, look at his expressions and you'll see what i mean lol

This just made my day !!! He did such a amazing job also !!! I notice this was in 2010 , I Hope your still jamming buddy !!

Congratulations! What an opportunity! You really nailed it! :)

How can you not smile man? No soul.

Smile man! Fuck it, I'm smiling for you!

Nice to see you have fun with the band you love. I wish you all the best going forward. :)

Wow, that must have been an awesome experience.

The guys face is like "wooo i´m playing with Megadeth, i´ll rather watch some TV"... hahahaha

I would defanitaly be geeking out

That was awesome!

Bro if I played with them I would mess up for sure!!! Good job keeping your composure!!

He wears an Iron Maiden shirt to this. I mean to a concert is one thing but if you are actually MEETING them....I mean it isn't wrong, but if I had a Megadeth shirt I would sure wear it.

I know why he is not smiling. He wanted to play with Metallica but they weren't available.

GOOD JOB,BRAH!!!!!..thats one hell of a honor to have that kind of opurtunity,which I bet most of us have always wanted,or dreamed about!!!..once again..GOOD JOB,KID!1

Awesome dude!! Congrats!

he has his game face on......

2:07 Chris: "Do you want de solo?" :v

How could you contain your excitement!

That was pretty cool of them to do this

Would love to see a random fan get to play holy wars or better yet Set the World Afire

Back when Dave didn't look like a granny, but more like a soccer mom

I love how the megadeth guys are all smiling having fun, it's great! :)

That's awesome man!

I would of been nervous as fuck

1:16 Ellefson trying to approach to interact with the guy. Still emotionless ( -_-)

Bless ya mate sorry for what i am guessing is not a good situation in your life. Man you got balls playing with those guys I would be a nervous wreck say the least!

Good jammin dude, you did better than I would have jammin with some of my favorite musicians....great job man, keep jammin!

You lucky guy

I feel like this kid got cheated off. He went to play with one of the greatest bands and they have him play along with a recording? It would of been 100% better if all of them, including dave, would all strapped on their guitars and play straight up with this kid, no recording rolling in the background, and give the whole real band/ rehearsal feel to this person. And you can tell that dave is not buying it because after spending a minute on setting up the volume all he does afterwards is just roam around and mess with the drummer. But hey it probably was great enough just meeting the band and probably getting a free guitar out of the deal so I would be happy.

Many thanks for this video. I am sure, many fans would like to be there and as to play great musicians. I looked and mentally represented myself with a guitar near MEGADETH. You really the lucky and I are happy together with you. Many thanks from admirers of MEGADETH from Russia.

that was killer man!!

Due to his elongated neck, he was given the opportunity to submit a wish to the make a wish foundation

if I ever met megadeth I'd wear a metallica t shirt just for the lols, and then be grateful if dave wouldn't kick my ass XD (not to be a dick or anything just for shits and giggles)

so cool man! love it!

Hey dude good for you....Great band, great foundation, great playing my friend.

that is amazing but why he is so serius?

Maybe Leo DiCaprio should go to that Make-a-Wish foundation. If they could get this kid to jam with Megadeth,they might be able to hook him up with an Oscar :))))))

Must have been really something. I can't imagine what must have been going through his mind - I'd have been a lot more tense that he was and my hands would have been all over that guitar, fumbling and snapping strings everywhere! Well done matey.

Awesome, just awesome!

dude smile a bit come one. it looks as if megadeth got a chance to play with you

maybe he's got nervous and prefer playing with no emotions to concentrate himself in playing guitar

Wow, what an opportunity!

Excellent job. You should be super proud, dude. I would have been way too nervous, forgotten the songs, and frozen up. I doubt my fingers would move.

wearing an iron maiden shirt and playing with megadeth???

omg he dont looks exited at all.... did he realized that his playin whith fucking megadeth??? wtf

Love how he plays with the Iron Maiden shirt, lol...so happy for him, would had loved to see that live. Awesome video!!

i think this is soo cool. it shows after all we are all human

Excelent¡¡ friend, a incredible experience.

DW, I can smile for this guy. I smile each time I watch these videos. :)

this would be an emotional moment for me and for many others if given the same opportunity as this kid

Very Awesome!!

Bad ass! Real proud of Megadeth for allowing make a wish for making this kids dream come true!

Very cool, good job dude \m/

what an experience!

great job man,you are playing awesome
