(Metallica – Master of puppets)

Che dire se non “gli alieni esistono”!! Un vero talento musicale, nata a Kiev e nota al grande pubblico per il suo canale youtube [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/vkgoeswild]vkgoeswild[/url] su cui sono presenti ben 372 video.
In poche parole il suo talento lo vedete nel video che apre questo articolo: prepara cover di pezzi rock e metal in versione pianoforte/tastiera. C’è di tutto e di più, comprese anche alcune interpretazioni dei grandi classici.
La cosa a mio parere sorprendente (e che ho potuto constatare con i miei occhi) è che a pochi giorni di distanza dall’uscita di un nuovo album lei posta il video con la partitura scritta e la cover pronta, con una velocità davvero spaventosa. Un esempio su tutti: all’uscita di Death Magnetic, l’ultimo album in studio dei Metallica, dopo appena 3 giorni c’erano sul tubo già 2 cover fatte e finite. Davvero incredibile…
