This 82-year-old totally kills Drowning Pool's 'Bodies'

What is more fascinating and pleasurable than watching old folk totally rock a heavy metal song? NOTHING!

John Hetlinger

Age is truly nothing but a number, and this 82-year-old grandfather from Broomfield proved just that with his mind-blowing performance of 'Bodies'. John Hetlinger, a retired aerospace engineer, blew judges away on Tuesday’s episode of America’s Got Talent.Proving that one is never too old to pursue their dreams, Hetlinger told judges he started performing after he retired, and it seems only stardom awaits him in the future.


Drowning Pool now want to feature him at their Chicago Open Air Festival appearance in July. "I would love to have him come out onstage and sing a song with us. We invite a lot of people on the stage. That song has been great for us. 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." Drowning Pool guitarist C.J. Pierce told Billboard.


Judging by the performance, that is going to be one hell of a festival. Below is the video of the performance.
