Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine is one of the most recognizable figures in metal, but he was able to go relatively incognito at a recent Megadeth show in order to surprise a kid fan in the audience. In a video posted to his Instagram, Mustaine can be seen throwing a black jacket hood over his head, sneaking into the stands while the arena is just beginning to fill up, and casually plopping down behind an elementary school-age kid who was there with his family.

At that point, the metal superstar slyly slips his hand into his pocket and pulls out a few guitar picks, which he hands to the young metalhead with a quick wink of his eye — all while the child's mom looks forward and talks with the person next to her. At one point, she turns to the side and sees that a nice man is giving her son some guitar gear, but Mustaine is so subtle and nonchalant that she appears to have no idea that he's the frontman of the headlining act. Amazing. 

"Metal is alive and well," Mustaine wrote in the caption of his video. Watch it below via Instagram.
