During last night’s (August 27) episode of “America’s Got Talent,” 10-year-old guitar prodigy Maya Neelakantan performed a cover of Metallica’s “Master Of Puppets.” You can see some footage of that below. Notably, Neelakantan even received Metallica’s blessing to perform the track. Simon Cowell said the following about that:
“I gotta say a big, big thank you to Metallica for giving you that song. That doesn’t happen very often.”
Neelakantan added:
“It was just amazing. I’m so happy I had the honor of playing ‘Master of Puppets’ by Metallica for the first time on AGT. So thank you Metallica and thank you to the Cliff Burton family for making this possible.”
