ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian was joined by his 10-year-old son Revel Young Ian on drums as they performed a rendition of the SYSTEM OF A DOWN classic "Bounce" for an Instagram video which Scott shared on Sunday (February 13). Scott captioned the clip: "A big BOUNCE for BOWL day!!!" Two members of SYSTEM OF A DOWN weighed in on the performance, with bassist Shavo Odadjian writing in the comments "Bad Assssssss!!" while guitarist Daron Malakian stated: "This is Awesome @scottianthrax the kid can really play. Your not so bad yourself!!!!! Such an honor!!" Scott previously shared videos of him and Revel performing the SEPULTURA songs "Roots Bloody Roots" and "Territory". Revel is apparently a gifted multi-instrumentalist who joined the FOO FIGHTERS on stage in September 2019 at the Bourbon & Beyond festival in Louisville, Kentucky to perform "Everlong" on guitar when he was just eight years old. Back in 2014, Ian told Horns Up Rocks that his then-three-old son was a big fan of METALLICA, THE BEATLES and AC/DC and that he could already tell the difference between Bon Scott's voice and that of Brian Johnson. "He knows a lot of the stuff that he hears or sees in the house," Scott said at the time. "But what's really cool is that he actually recognizes and knows the difference between Bon Scott and Brian Johnson, which is pretty cool, I think, for an almost three-year-old. Anytime AC/DC is on, he'll go, 'That's Bon singing.' And then when it's not Bon, he'll say, 'That's not Bon singing.' He knows. That's pretty cool, I think." Asked whether metal musicians should be parents, Ian said it was the best thing that had ever happened to him. He added: "I think you have to take that on a case-by-case basis. I couldn't say enough about having a child; I think it's the greatest thing ever in the whole world. But I do think that there are a lot of people on this planet, not necessarily metal musicians, that shouldn't be parents."
