There really is no comparison between a bass guitar and a double bass (or, in this case, a cello) The sound so...full. Don't get me wrong, bass guitar is beautiful and has its slot. But the double bass/cello when finger-picked...amazing. This is brilliant.
I did not put Apocalyptica in the keywords, this is an absolute original by Brandon Smith. He is very talented, and does not really play covers to often.
This was amazing , yet I always have to tell someone one thing they did wrong, even though I am not that great.One time when you played your C string it twanged and sounded way off.
This has given me a whole knew look to the cello. I've always used it as the heavy bass on the bottom but this is definately something I will consider using in my future compositions. Cellos are definately gonna get solo lines on my near future compositions.
Very creative use of the cello! I have tried that myself, but the sound of guitar-like strumming on such low registers can be very tiring after a minute or two...

Its good, but what does it have to do with Apocalyptica? I was expecting a Harmageddon remix or something... but this is cool too.

C-strings suck, man. They're either perfectly aligned with the fingerboard (yeah right) or they twang obsessively. It's their job.

It is the way that you pluck it that makes it twang. It is definatley not the string.

Perhaps the most creative use of the cello; It's so perfectly made.. So mellow, so melodious, it's music to make you happy while eating chocolate.
