82-year-old John Hetlinger absolutely killed it a couple of days ago when he went onto America’s Got Talent and sang nu-metal classic ‘Bodies’ by Drowning Pool out of nowhere. Nobody expected such a sweet old man with such high trousers to kick into that, but he did it and he absolutely slayed it. Nice one dude.

Of course, his exploits went viral and made it to the band themselves and guitarist C.J. Pierce was more than impressed:

I would love to have him come out onstage and sing a song with us.

We invite a lot of people on the stage… it’s such a fun song to play.

We had a guest onstage with us last week, Aidan Fisher; he is 13-years-old and plays guitar.

He was amazing, so we had him up to play ‘Bodies.’

So I would love to have John up there singing a song with us.

I didn’t realise our demographic is from 8-year-olds to 82-year-olds.

OK, so maybe he isn’t exactly asking him to come sing with the band but in my head that’s what he’s doing with this. I can’t imagine many people are going to see Drowning Pool in 2016 – to be honest I’m surprised they’re even still a band that plays shows – but it would surely be way more of a draw to have this old guy be their singer and go on tour with them. I would definitely go and see that.

Also, can we point out how the kid was 13 but their demographic was 8-82 according to this dude – how the fuck does that make any sense? Why don’t you just make it 0-100 mate while you’re at it?

For more nu-metal, here’s Katy Perry when she used to be a back up singer for P.O.D. Seriously.
