Kids these days have it easy. They have access to things we only dreamed of as a child. Seeing as though metal itself is 40 years old, we now have second generation metalheads. I can't imagine sharing metal with my parents, but I wish I did. Thankfully, we've amassed 10 videos of kids who's parents got them into metal young, and in turns these kids have already surpassed us on the "metal" scale. This idea came about after seeing this first video, which surfaced this week…

My god, these parents did something right. Usually, I hear a brat on the street crying, or worse on a plane, and it's for somethign trivial like a toy or some junk food. But to cry because there is not enough Iron Maiden in your life? We've all been there!

Talk about starting them young. This is baby Jonah, and he loves Pantera. He walks around and he headbangs as if he's circlepitting with the best of them at Donnington. If this video doesn't put a smile on your face, you have no soul.

Now we're getting into the thick of. All of these kids are no older than eight years old, yet they have great taste in what bands to cover. Rammstein, or somebody from their crew, saw this video themselves and were so impressed, they actually invited the kids to open for them at a recent show. Watch that video here. To have the cajones to get up in front of 20,000 people like that? Clearly, they're future rock stars.
