Every so often, one of the big music contest shows like American Idle or America's Got Talent produces an act that is truly incredible. Sure, most of the time it's a parade of bad pop vocal covers, but occasionally a performer reminds the public that hard work and raw talent are the real bread and butter of the entertainment industry (or at the very least, that a mask and a red duster can make Katy Perry worry she's going to get murdered). Case in point, America's Got Talent recently featured a guitarist whose mash-up of Beethoven and System Of A Down showed everyone what talent actually looks like.
As you'll see in the video below, Marcin Patrzalek is a sweet-faced kid from Poland who's obsessed with playing music, and who has longer nails than most women on your block. But when Marcin begins playing his guitar, he immediately sheds his cute veneer and becomes an awesome rhythm machine. In the footage below, he goes from playing Beethoven's infamous Fifth Symphony to SOAD's Toxicity in a flurry of slaps and steely chugs that make viewers wonder where one song ends and the other begins.
