While the video was posted over a year ago, it has been picking up traction as the three sisters work to raise funds in the hopes of attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston. They’ve raised more than $9,500 of their $30,000 [fundraising goal](http://www.gofundme.com/fjjyhs "undefined"). The sisters are aiming to get the attention of every YouTube star’s fairy godmother, [Ellen DeGeneres](http://time.com/3607267/50-shades-of-grey-ellen-degeneres-show-parody-video/ "undefined"), according to [Heavy Metal](http://www.heavymetal.com/news/listen-to-metallicas-enter-sandman-by-young-all-girl-band-from-mexico/ "undefined"), in the hopes that she will invite them to perform on her talk show. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3812719/three-sisters-band-metallica/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3812719/three-sisters-band-metallica/"},"headline":"These Three Sisters Play Metallica Better Than You","datePublished":"2015-04-08T15:41:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:18:29.130Z","description":"\"Enter Sandman\" takes over the Internet","url":"https://time.com/3812719/three-sisters-band-metallica/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","viral","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3812719/three-sisters-band-metallica/","name":"These Three Sisters Play Metallica Better Than You"}}]}] ```
