Do you still remember the rock and roll comedy movie “School of Rock” starring Jack Black and a bunch of middle school kids?
If you were a fan, you’re going to love this video—because they’re back and reunited after 10 years! Even though they’re all grown up now, Black is still as energetic and youthful as ever. The stars of the movie reunited and performed their iconic final performance “Long Way to the Top” by AC/DC.
Needless to say, the video is definitely worth a watch!
School of Rock premiered in 2003, directed by Richard Linklater.
It starred Jack Black as the main protagonist, along with actors John Cusack, Sarah Silverman and Mike White, along with child stars Miranda Cosgrove, Joey Gaydos, Kevin Clark, Rebecca Brown, Robert Tsai and Caitlin Hale. Although it was a comedy, it was also a story about children’s dreams and about creativity that connected with a wide audience.
Since it was released, it has become something of a cult favorite.
The movie is about a struggling guitarist Dewey Finn, played by Black, who was kicked out of his band.
As a result, he pretends to be a substitute teacher in a middle school to pay off his rent. Dewey is then able to witness and unlock his students’ musical talents. He decides to trick them by forming a band and telling them it’s part of their studies—but the truth is that he created the group to join a battle of the bands.
The movie became one of the highest-grossing musical films in a long time and garnered plenty of positive musical reviews.
The fans waited for a long time, and at last, the long-anticipated reunion finally happened.
The kids are all grown up now but they still know how to rock!
Black introduced them again while playing the AC/DC song. Everyone who was introduced played a solo of their musical instrument. Meanwhile, the singers showcased their beautiful voices.
Zack, played by Gydos, still has those magical fingers he used to have to play the lead guitar. Katie, played by Rebecca Brown, was still just as awesome on the bass as well. Even so, the keyboardist and the drummer were just as great as well!
Although plenty of time had passed since the original movie, all of these talented performers still had all the musical skills in the world!
Anyone who considers themselves a School of Rock fanatic is definitely in for a treat!
As always, Black’s stage presence is electrifying and hyped up at the same time. Everyone else grew up, but Black is still the same man he was. All the YouTube commenters were impressed at just how great the band still sounded while playing together.
After watching this video, we’re kind of hoping to get a sequel!
Even so, each of the performers from the movie has gone in different creative directions—but it was exciting to see them all together again.
If you loved School of Rock, this video has a ton of appeal and is plenty of fun. On the other hand, if you watched this movie in the 2000s and you need a refresher, it’s definitely worth popping it back in again! No matter what, these kids still have the spirit of rock inside them with Black as their bandleader.
Congratulations to the group on this awesome performance! Be sure to watch the whole thing below:
