The heavy metal band has had a rabid fan following for more than two decades. Their live shows, complete with their explosive stage show and frightening masks, have made them a perennial favorite among metalheads.
And a 5-year-old boy from England named Caleb is one of those diehard Slipknot fans. And boy, did young Caleb get to live out a dream recently due to his own musical prowess.
It all started when Slipknot’s Jay Weinberg retweeted a viral video of Caleb air-drumming perfectly at a Slipknot show.
Caleb also went viral when this video of him playing along with a Slipknot song was viewed over 1.3 million times on YouTube (so far). Even his Slipknot costume and face paint are on point.
The band was so impressed with Caleb’s skill and dedication that they invited him to a show in Birmingham, England, to meet the band and they even invited him to come out on stage.
Flip through these awesome photos on Weinberg’s Instagram page to see what a blast young Caleb had that night.

Caleb’s Twitter account posted about the epic evening as well.
I love this story! Keep drumming, Caleb, so we can see you playing up on stage soon!
Start ’em young, parents! Being a metalhead is a lifetime commitment!
