What’s the best way to shut up haters? How about by melting their faces off with a sick solo?
Things got a bit heated last week when popular TikTok star Zaria posted a video in which she danced to Peewee Longway and Money Man’s “OOOWWWEEE” while flipping off the camera and rocking a classic Metallica Ride the Lightning t-shirt.
For the record, it wasn’t the first time she’s worn it in one of her clips, but the singer with more than 100,000 followers had to respond when some trolls challenged her to “name three Metallica songs.” Challenge accepted, and doubled.
“Ok, so, the other day, I posted this video of me in a Metallica shirt,” she said in a response video. “And people were like, ‘Name three Metallica songs. I bet you don’t even like Metallica.’ So my response to you guys is, like, really? Only three? Only three songs? How ’bout I play ’em on guitar for you.”
She then proceeded to rip off bits of “Master of Puppets” and “Enter Sandman” on her lime green guitar, complete with a bit of the requisite “guitar face.” And even though the video was not about her guitar playing, but rather about how she knows the songs, Zaria went ahead and did the finger-tap solo from “One” just for fun. Just because she sings R&B doesn’t mean she can’t like metal too, dudes.
She then came back for one more round to show any lingering haters that she can play the entire solo from “One” and the ripping guitar parts from “Battery” as well. Not for nothing, Metallica is her favorite band and over the weekend she said her original post has gotten more than 267,000 views so far. Oh, and on Sunday she posted her cover of the solo from “Unforgiven.” Any questions?
