Online guitar phenom Maya Neelakantan has gone from crushing Tool songs at home to making headlines for killing it on America's Got Talent with a Metallica cover. Neelakantan has earned praise from loads of her metal guitar heroes like Exodus' Gary Holt, who made sure to cheer her on throughout the aforementioned show.
Then Neelakantan got to show off her skills on September 13 with Testament at the House Of Blues in Las Vegas, NV. Neelakantan was invited on stage to rip through "Curse Of The Legion Of The Damned" with Testament and of course she nailed it! You can check out fan-filmed footage of the cover above and below. It's awesome.
"Just played with Testament @testamentofficial on stage now!!! It was incredible playing with all of them, playing to a metalhead crowd for the first time and meeting Eric Peterson, Alex Skolnick, Chuck Billy, Chris Dovas, Steve DiGiorgio and the amazing Testament crew too," wrote Neelakantan.
"It was all such an incredible experience and I loved hanging with the band as well as jamming with them on stage!!!! So unforgettable! Thank you so much Testament for giving the amazing opportunity and for always being so kind and supportive to me right from the beginning!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ More to come!”
