[Wsyfm18]

Malfoy plays drums?

[JiminyStudio]

i wouldnt do it without singing

[94hourstilAHIG]

@JiminyStudio sounds fine to me.

[nickinleeds]

the only person who could ever rock out in school uniform is Angus Young (google it kids)

[darkhero101010]

@nickinleeds maybe they are in school uniforms because well.... they are on fucking school?

[nickinleeds]

@darkhero101010 NO SHIT! it was a joke you little fucktard!

[darkhero101010]

@nickinleeds u got mad bro?

[druthers25]

wheres the pit?

[thisiskenney]

This is actually a pretty good cover.

[MozezVanHelgen]

.. damn, what a shame xD

[perfectdaysofplunder]

Hmmm I guess they never won the talent contest then?

[jacksonthatbassist]

is there a bass player?

[OblivianOcean]

Awesome guys!!! hello from Ukraine!))

[xxsebastianblackxx]

decent, not too good nor bad

[xAfterTheExilEx]

haha this is pretty beast!

[IronIronMark]

Drako Malfoy on drums? ))

[zanderkuh]

why no singer ?



[OhjayJones]

@zanderkuh No one good enough at school really.

At our age we'd have to get a girl to sing it.

[whakydude1]

@zanderkuh because we're introverted teenagers.

[BreedPestilence]

How old is that fucking goliath in the shorts... 

[AwwMaiGawd]

@BreedPestilence like 4?

[whakydude1]

@BreedPestilence haha he's the youngest out of all of us. We call him Jesus.

[necrolich666]

@whakydude1 Is that Claudio Sanchez?

[OhjayJones]

@necrolich666 haha!

Man, I wish I was Claudio Sanchez! :P

[bradziben]

so-so but cool drummer

[bradziben]

so-so

[ALCZender]

This isn't Bloodmeat within a bass player :l

[coolieo255]

gotta give em porps for trying i would have liked for some lyric but ill live

[That1dudewhodoesstuf]

@coolieo255 yea lyrics would have been nice but the range of the vocals in this song (like many PTH songs) is so crazy that i don't blame them for not putting them in.

[RgwAruaabf]

The Wild Thornbury's?

[Dieccast]

F.A.I.L

[OhjayJones]

@Dieccast Cheers for the support...

[whakydude1]

@Dieccast first reasonable person yet!

[dreamtheaterisbetter]

Well done, but the drummer needs more confidence. In the bass drum part and some cymbal parts. Maybe it was the stress of the show, but the drumming just seemed dead. Great cover though.

[whakydude1]

@dreamtheaterisbetter yeah the music teacher bummed out on us and made him use the shitty drum kit.

[LagMaster55]

@dreamtheaterisbetter i wasn't dead. but i wasn't playing on a kit i was used to and i had like 15 minutes to set it up.

[OhjayJones]

Apologies for the lack of Bass Player.

There isn't a bassist at school that's good enough to play Protest stuff, yet.

But they will get better, and hopefully, we will have one next time :D

[Demonic666Aura]

wheres the base player???

[mctickles92]

bahaha, rockin protest in uniforms, love it

[MrGoma08]

where is the bass?

[VitalEternity]

Sick cover, vocals would have been cool but admittedly it would be difficult to find a singer at that age with such a vocal range, especially a male one. Anywho, great job playing!

[sirpwnage11]

No bass player? =/ Still awesome you did that at your school, which I assume is a mega preppy school considering some guy singing Bruno Mars won. How old were you guys when you did it?

[OhjayJones]

@sirpwnage11 Yeah, no bass player at school is good enough, yet.

Yeah, coz it "appealed it everyone" -__-

It was this year, all 16 :D

[WretchedPG]

Kinda sounds good without vocals.

[382trooper382]

@WretchedPG Anything Protest sounds way better without vocals. 

[WretchedPG]

@382trooper382 Sometimes ._.

[MrNotch9]

@WretchedPG this

[grapic11]

@WretchedPG kinda sounds good with vocals.

hater.

[WretchedPG]

@grapic11 Sounds better without them.

Fanboy.

[BamSarlow]

OWEN!!!

[Dishstony]

that crowd better calm down before somebody gets hurt.

[Kromhoff09]

anything to please the rugrats

[McMadman94]

I came onto this expecting some dumb 13 year olds doing a half assed cover, but you guys played incredibly well. You could really make a great band out of this if you got yourself a singer and bassist. The only problem I had with the entire thing was that you all looked quite awkward and self concious. Throw some headbanging in there. Look like you're enjoying yourselves. It makes the performance much more watchable and makes you look confident, which, believe me, has a huge effect on people.

[OhjayJones]

@McMadman94 Cheers dude :D

We didn't want to do the whole headbanging thing

a) because our school hates metal and anything associated with it haha

b) we wanted to play it really well, so not head banging made that possible

But thanks heaps for the awesome comment :D

[McMadman94]

@OhjayJones Yeah I suppose even Protest themselves don't headbang much due to the concentration it takes to play those songs. But you know what I mean just move around and look like you're getting into it. Not so much that you look like an idiot and can't concentrate on playing because the way it sounds should be your first priority, but believe me, a good visual performance can go a long way to distinguishing yourselves in terms of live performance.

Once again though, fantastic playing :)

[OhjayJones]

@McMadman94 We will work on that :D

Thanks heaps for the awesome comments.

We are just about to start working on our next song.

[McMadman94]

@OhjayJones No worries man, make sure you upload the next one so I can hear it too :)

[LagMaster55]

@McMadman94 lol, we don't got no stage fright. we were just concentrating

[MrTimTimmyTimothy]

your drummer is aazing

[patonofx]

:( I can't imagine how some singer kid may have more talent than u guys.... truth is protest the hero has a lot of musical knowledge...

[PunkAwesomeMorgan]

This is pretty sick !

[Pedrinhodelson]

u guys r awsome! \m/

[ThatKidTyler956]

awwee, all you need is an epic bass player to tag along :D

doubt you can find a guy to do vox, so get a chick :D

awesome playing though!

[WIWonderbra]

so...did you win? i hope so :D

[OhjayJones]

@WIWonderbra Nah man. We didn't even get 2nd or 3rd. Some kid singing Bruno Mars won. break dancer can second and some chick signer came 3rd. Bit shit.

But we are happy with how we played, that's all that matter :D

[mgrobis]

@OhjayJones Don't worry about it, man. I did a PTH-inspired drum solo at my high school talent show that got a standing ovation but didn't even make top 3 with the judges. Lot of people don't understand prog metal... too bad for them!

[OhjayJones]

@mgrobis It's pretty shit how people don't understand the work people like us put into our performances.

We spent like.. 5 months putting it together and getting it perfect.

But we knew we played it the best we could, so that's all that matters! :D

[8080Ace]

Amazing!

[chemistryset1]

lil' Jim Cruse, guitar wiz.

[TheRachelRockstar]

Owen, my best friend, is the most talented person up there! :D :D <3

[whakydude1]

[iwasnothere97]

@whakydude1 over 2000 man, well done

[whakydude1]

@iwasnothere97 thanks man, wasn't expecting it at all. I just posted it so my friends could see.

[ObamaStoleMyRims]

Nice. Major props to all of you. Your all very talented so keep it up!

[containsletteratoz]

[diRTyNeEcH]

WHERES THE HEADBANGS!?!?!?!?

[Joziaac]

@diRTyNeEcH The crowd couldn't handle the time signatures.

[coolieo255]

@diRTyNeEcH guitar player was trying at times ;)
