Watch the video below where 10-year-old Bass Prodigy Ellen Alaverdyan expertly covers Metallica’s thrash masterpiece, “For Whom The Bell Tolls”. We’re pretty sure Cliff Burton is smiling down and head banging along to this one!
Ellen has gained quite the following on Youtube and Twitter, and for good reason, she’s simply amazing!
One comment on her video read: “There is a difference between being able to play and being able to jam. Exhibit #1 right there. Never lose that funk or that smile!”

Metallica · For Whom The Bell Tolls · Lyrics · Ride The Lightning
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they’re right, yes, but who’s to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It’s the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
