Dude is literally a rocket scientist and probably spent his whole life playing everything by the book and numbers. This probably gave him the greatest personal joy and satisfaction of anything he's ever done
That man has accomplished far more than those celebrity judges ever will in thier lifetimes but the old man had one last thing to check off on his bucket list...... and that was to rock out on AGT! 😎 Mission accomplished sir 💯🎯
This shit is actually incredible. About 50 percent of the crowd was judging hardcore but holy shit its honestly really impressive that hes screaming like that. Why have I not seen this until now?
the fact that at that age he was able to scream and growl like that was freaking awesome most elderly people would rupture their lungs if they ever tried that
The crowd shots are all preplanned in this show. Nothing is real. Producers tell them to act surprised or happy and then they use those shots in the show
Pardon, 'Christopher Lee.' That said, I do believe that this man may well be the second most metal grandpa ever. Super awesome career, did a lot for science... Christopher Lee released metal albums and also fought in WWII as well as was a legend in films. I hope the man in the vid is doing well and enjoying his fame. I bet he regularly gets some looks and entertaining reactions when he goes to karaoke and sings that song because it sure as shit is unexpected lol Awesome stuff!
82 Years Old proves that age is just a number, this guy went on live TV knowing he probably wasn't gonna make it past the auctions and seemingly had the time of his life. Absolute Respect.
I looked it up, he was absolutely horrible but I can see why the crowd was pumped up. Being a science nut I think his previous accomplishments were greater however.

I mean put yourself in the shoes of the jury. I am NOT giving an X to an aerospace engineer that lead a program to repair the the Hubble space telescope lol. There are some people you just sit down and listen to until they say they are finished and that's that
I mean, it would take a special asshole to give an X to an 82 year old who feels this is the highlight of his entire life. I mean he ranks it higher than being on the team to repair the Hubble telescope! Fatherhood has made Simon a lot kinder, otherwise I think he would have been that special asshole.
@@Stardus so.... now every time he comments there is some ass like you replying that he is doing it for the likes. can you people not just shut up and let nice things be nice. Also, since when do we assume so much with so little information.
I don’t think he even cared about being passed to the next round . He fulfilled his dream, got a standing ovation from howie and the crowd , he accomplished what he set out to do , and he did it In a BAD ASS WAY!!!! This guy is truly amazing ROCK ON LEGEND !
I can't believe I just literally cried watching this, this legend was so full of life and joy and this inspired me more than I thought, just thank you, whenever you are now.
Man was a navy pilot, and then worked on repairing the Hubble Space Telescope. He already did the main quest, this is just the sidequests left for after.

@@antolimakrov5925 Ill tell you what, record your attempt and see how well you do :P Guarentee you you wont sound anywhere close to as good as him. Also, he's 82 man. This isint Corey Taylor or something. This is 10000% screaming
@Heinluck I am a metal vocalist. This song isn't my style of metal so I will not do a cover. He isn't screaming, he is shouting. I never said it was bad, he is very enjoyable to listen to.
Ha no his style was incorrect but he wasn't going for sounding good he was trying to have a good time which he did i liked it though got to give him guts and respect
It really is. He is so wonderful. I am so glad YT recommended this to me for absolutely no apparent reason. Also... The look the blonde chick gave at 2:35 made me unreasonably irritated. 😂
Im 55 playing in a brutal metal band. After seeing this legend, f&%k it! I'm playing metal into my 80's. This man is true inspiration! Never let anyone tell you what you can't do, no matter what age.
This guy is my hero! The sad part about it is that he probably felt more appreciated in that moment than anything else he accomplished in life... we need more like him!
Soo true!!!! Sad reality is that our veterans don't get half the thanks that they absolutely deserve... I've been homeless before... I've seen how our country treat most of our homeless veterans with multiple problems stemming exclusively from Fighting For Our Freedoms and I, being a citizen of our Free Country that didn't go to War, am very ashamed, heartbroken, humbled and sickened by the way our government and our own police and ppl treat them.... Thanks so much to all veterans for fighting for my rights freedoms that I enjoy every day MUCHO LOVE AND RESPECT FOR YOUR HELP
He is my hero too. Imagine if he said he is 102 years old and "I was a navy pilot during world war 2 and it was far enough into space", damn the audience would applaud him for a few minutes.
Every metal fan appreciates this! We salute you sir for your naval service, your part in advancing our space program and for keeping metal alive. #GreatAmerican!🤘🇺🇸
He's 82 years-old(at the time) and is a retired aerospace engineer who oversaw work on an instrument that repaired the Hubble, he without a doubt has more money than the prize for winning AGT. He was just there to have fun melting everyone's faces with his epic voice 🤘
EPIC dominion of spirit, mind and heart. He's virile in it's truest sense, real man fully alive in character and owning himself and his dreams. Look at that strength at 82, right down to an incredibly STRONG voice. My voice is as strong as it was at 20, always strong. Most people as age loose their voice strength. I hope I keep my voice to the end. REMARKABLY strong voice for his age. Strong voice is an expression of not apologizing for oneself, truly owning and accepting oneself, and shows a strong nervous system and overall vitality of the entire body. I bet he lives to at least 103. That man is HEALTHY in every way. Total inspiration. He sent a message to all to have no excuses and take life by the ...., always. Seriously, I'd guess his intent is not just for himself but to inspire others on the very principles he has lived for and developed. His intent is shining every one of those principles. That's what I get from him. BOLD. He sure inspired me to step up my game further. I'd love to know this man.
DLBTV I dont like the song very much but this is actually pretty fucking awesome, so good to hear an elder actually sing Metal even if it is light metal.
Never in my life have I had such a clear picture of who I want to be when I'm 82.

He made bodies hit the floor
Don't shoot at the civilians,huh,you should tell that a five minutes earlyer...
-Yeah, In Vietnam-
sain678 those bodies were flaming metal
he WON maybe not on the show but he wins at life and thats all that matters. respect!!
Take this for a victory, Drowning Pool actually brought him out to sing Bodies with them in concert, you don't get much better then that.
Dude is literally a rocket scientist and probably spent his whole life playing everything by the book and numbers. This probably gave him the greatest personal joy and satisfaction of anything he's ever done

He has talent. Try and ask anybody to sing that song out loud at the age of 82 and see if they can still manage to live another hour.
im 35 and i cant scream as the way he does.
Right, most 80 year olds have hearing issues too and the voice is more fragile, that is Very impressive.
I did that song at karaoke once and almost passed out by the end. The only body about to hit the floor was mine.
Right?
Someone that's not a practiced singer with decades of experience still having the lungs to sing vocals like that at 82 is damn impressive.
I'd still sing it, with the growls intended at 90. I got hmmm 55 years to go til then.
He’s still young at heart lol
As we ought to be.

YOOOO HE COVERED THIS SO WELL WTFFFFF. Dont think people understand how difficult screaming actually is.
This isn't screaming, just shouting. Still enjoyable
@@antolimakrov5925 Ill tell you what, record your attempt and see how well you do :P Guarentee you you wont sound anywhere close to as good as him. Also, he's 82 man. This isint Corey Taylor or something. This is 10000% screaming
@@HeinluckTV its not very good technic wise but his energy is awesome to say its a good cover is too much tho haha
@Heinluck I am a metal vocalist. This song isn't my style of metal so I will not do a cover. He isn't screaming, he is shouting. I never said it was bad, he is very enjoyable to listen to.
I know you're saying this to be nice, but let's be honest, it wasn't very good I an absolute sense. For an 82-year old, it was absolutely perfect
this man is 82 and has more energy than most of us
He did.
…had…unfortunately. RIP
He actually has a damn good voice for metal. At a younger age he could have been one hell of a vocalist.
Ikr
wtf are you smoking lol
Ha no his style was incorrect but he wasn't going for sounding good he was trying to have a good time which he did i liked it though got to give him guts and respect
I'd hire this dude now if I was in a band
Um no. Loo
He's been holding in his emotions all of his life and he finally let it out on this show
Honestly, I really loved his performance. Not the worst I’ve heard, his age, and confidence together.. he’s great!
was singing along was great, shows anyone can sing it and itll still be a banger
¡CÁLLATE!
Should’ve got a golden buzzer
Considering he’s age that was a great preformance.
He definetly did let the Bodies hit the floor.
He basically came to fulfill his dream. Nothing beats the look of joy in his eyes while performing.
Helped repair the Hubble Telescope, Navy pilot, went on AGT to sing like a badass, and gotten viral on UA-cam.
Jesus...
Tell about "Life Goals"...
This man just got his life completed, he could die any moment and he won't be like "I have a lot of things to do yet"
What the fuck video were YOU watching. Sure wasn't THIS one.
I wondered who has been stealing high points of my life... I seem to have found him
Aiden Macleod what video were YOU watching? Because that's exactly what happened.
Yes true
This is highest peak of his career
Well done sir
The happiness in his eyes is amazing XD
Imagine him rocking out to old-school metal in that Navy plane. XD
It really is. He is so wonderful. I am so glad YT recommended this to me for absolutely no apparent reason.
Also... The look the blonde chick gave at 2:35 made me unreasonably irritated. 😂
Im 55 playing in a brutal metal band. After seeing this legend, f&%k it! I'm playing metal into my 80's. This man is true inspiration! Never let anyone tell you what you can't do, no matter what age.
Rock on brotha!! I'm 56 and I play drums in 3 bands all over L.A.!! Not stopping til I die!!
Metal is timeless, and for all ages of any generation! 🤘🏻
@@bobyost42 That is so awesome brother, keep it going! Drums will keep you healthy and strong!🤘
@@Mickelraven totally agree! We will keep it going in to the next generations.
Don't stop until your heart does
This guy is my hero! The sad part about it is that he probably felt more appreciated in that moment than anything else he accomplished in life... we need more like him!
I agree. Those in attendance loved his preformance of "Bodies"
Soo true!!!! Sad reality is that our veterans don't get half the thanks that they absolutely deserve... I've been homeless before... I've seen how our country treat most of our homeless veterans with multiple problems stemming exclusively from Fighting For Our Freedoms and I, being a citizen of our Free Country that didn't go to War, am very ashamed, heartbroken, humbled and sickened by the way our government and our own police and ppl treat them.... Thanks so much to all veterans for fighting for my rights freedoms that I enjoy every day MUCHO LOVE AND RESPECT FOR YOUR HELP
He is my hero too. Imagine if he said he is 102 years old and "I was a navy pilot during world war 2 and it was far enough into space", damn the audience would applaud him for a few minutes.
That is exactly why he made the pilgrimage
Maybe he enjoy doing this more than the other stuff...
The amount of energy he possessed is unmeasurable....
This dude would've been interesting to listen to if he was a lot younger. This old man has more talent than a lot of newer bands
Bro he's just there as a joke...
Huh?,
his age does NOT matter to his talent! just shut your eyes
Can't we just all get along
Okay @Atano K Si it is funny but that may not have been his intention
Every metal fan appreciates this! We salute you sir for your naval service, your part in advancing our space program and for keeping metal alive. #GreatAmerican!🤘🇺🇸
fuck yeah hahahaha, love this lol
I have a pair of timbs in my closet if you need another pair of boots to lick
"Yeahhhhh" "woooo" "MERICA man!!! You idiots need to stop flopping up amd down your sisters .
Hell yeah, couldn't agree more!!!!!
BIG SALUTE!!!!! 🤘🏼🇺🇸
He's 82 years-old(at the time) and is a retired aerospace engineer who oversaw work on an instrument that repaired the Hubble, he without a doubt has more money than the prize for winning AGT. He was just there to have fun melting everyone's faces with his epic voice 🤘
EPIC dominion of spirit, mind and heart. He's virile in it's truest sense, real man fully alive in character and owning himself and his dreams. Look at that strength at 82, right down to an incredibly STRONG voice. My voice is as strong as it was at 20, always strong. Most people as age loose their voice strength. I hope I keep my voice to the end.
REMARKABLY strong voice for his age. Strong voice is an expression of not apologizing for oneself, truly owning and accepting oneself, and shows a strong nervous system and overall vitality of the entire body. I bet he lives to at least 103. That man is HEALTHY in every way.
Total inspiration. He sent a message to all to have no excuses and take life by the ...., always. Seriously, I'd guess his intent is not just for himself but to inspire others on the very principles he has lived for and developed. His intent is shining every one of those principles. That's what I get from him. BOLD. He sure inspired me to step up my game further. I'd love to know this man.
If I was fertile, I'd be rushing to take on his seed.
this is nothing
What a beautiful soul. His toucan patch is what sells me. Bravo sir. Bravo.
His blood pressure was probably skyrocketing after that performance
Ncc0990 HIS HEARTROCKET IS SKYRATING!!!!
did he say that he was a navy pilot ?
I doubt it, he was in the Navy😂
Ncc0990 His pants were probably higher than his pants
Music is not only talent. Music is also attitude.
And this old man, has A LOT of it.
He wanna rock after being so serious most his career🤣
A great positive embodiment of the punk ethos!
Grandpa's having WW2 flashbacks again..
You killed me daamn it 😂😂😂
@Oliver Queen A funny ass joke
Too much 😂👍
plot twist: *he enjoyed ww2*
RanDumClips He’s too young to have served in the Second World War
I’m so glad the judges let this man live out his dream
the power of not giving a fuck........
I.K.R. 😎😎😎 lol!
idontgive mercesthethird what else are you supposed to do at that age
*slow applaud!*
It's fucking insane right lol
Humanity restored :)
This is unironically an awesome cover, I love it and want a full one.
i was thinking that too
it wasnt lol. the pitches are wrong hah
@@lil_weasel219 some pitch died during cover.
I appreciate the sentiment, but the appeal here isn't altogether unironic.
Dude has more air in his lungs then most in their 20's... One of my favorites on AGT !!
Fr at 82 years old he puts so much power in let the bodies hit the FLOOOOOOOOOOOR!! Absolute legend!
One of my all time favs as well.
im 30 and i laugh like the dog from the Whacky Races🤣🤣
Because 20 year old sucking bongs and vapes
This is how you win in life
You sure he's not part of Drowning Pool?
Nah. He's a big fan with big heart
After this originally aired, Drowning pool actually invited him to do this song with them for at least one of concert that I know of. Lol
@@natedog101591 really?
@@duyphan4617 yup, it's actually up on UA-cam still

Legend.
Absolutely!!!!!!
DLBTV...derry...
Expected this comment
DLBTV this guy's fucking King Legend man
DLBTV I dont like the song very much but this is actually pretty fucking awesome, so good to hear an elder actually sing Metal even if it is light metal.
Omg wtf did I just watch!?!?
I haven't banged my head that hard ever!!
@shane marz ok keyboard tough guy.
@shane marz are you feeling ok dude? You're using grade school troll tactics to what benefit? Are you lonely or something?
silence me I am sure he must be lonely.

We don’t get old if we don’t want to. Long live the rock n roll spirit!
