82-year-old John Hetlinger, who became a viral video sensation last month when he belted out the DROWNING POOL classic “Bodies” on the NBC series “America’s Got Talent”, joined the band on stage earlier today (Friday, July 15) to perform the song at the Chicago Open Air festival.
The Navy veteran and aerospace manager told KUSA that he was surprised by the reaction to his “America’s Got Talent” performance.
“I didn’t know two and a half thousand in the audience would react the same way that 30 drunks in the bar do, but they did!” he said.
“Everybody seems to think it’s great that an old man is screaming ‘let the bodies hit the floor!'” John added.
DROWNING POOL guitarist CJ Pierce said he first heard about Hetlinger‘s performance when family and friends starting texting him about it, explaining: “I picked up my phone and I got a handful of texts from a number of people because I guess it got out yesterday ahead of the airing… I watched it, and man, I am so entertained by it. It’s awesome to just see an 82-year-old man get out there and just belt out some metal — whether it was our song or any song, it was just killer to see him do that.”
