My son and I went to see them play (I'm a fan btw) they play that well live, with the awesome facial expressions and the hair flipping. Somehow it doesn't effect their playing. They're even more headbanging live and in between songs, they're sooo funny. They truely make a fun night! We were at a club, so we were nice and close to them!
menuda musicaza. apocalyptica los mejores!! me encanta...mezclan un instrumento, como es el violín, clásico para hacer rock, que normalmente se hace con instrumentos totalmente distintos....
Which is why I've begun telling people metal is like a new age classical, where it's a creation of music through instruments and unique sounds. Not some bullshit ass lyrics and a synthesizer.
This is something I admire and love about Apocalyptica - they know what they love and you know that they are completely loving it. This is utterly genius. 100 points for headbanging so much that I would have gotten a concussion from the sheer intensity of it.
To u they look like retards, but other cellists, etc. know that they are playing with passion, which to other ppl that arent into instrumeants as much, they look like retards... lol if I didnt play the cello or violin, I wouldve said they look like fools, but thats how I play sometimes too haha <33
Cello is the closest acoustic instrument to the sound of overdriven, sustaining guitars. These guys are insane, they do a version of angel of death faster than the original, in fact dave lombardo plays on some of their albums. I think also that some of the sound is amplified cello with distortion. awesome!
lol every time i watch this video i laugh my ass off not because its bad but just watching them rock out to there violin thingys lol i dont know what there called yes im very noobish when it comes to musical intruments so bite me
apocalyptica is different than anything else you'll ever see. that's good. they really are amazing. if you like them, you could also check out Pelican. they do instrumental metal as well, but obviously not on cellos. cellos....hah, can't get over that.
Apocalyptica did instrumental covers of Metallica for a long time. And just because music has lyrics doesn't mean it's any more "real" than this. I actually find this to be more "real" because you're not mentally limited to the imagery of the words.
Wow. These guys are amazing. They can make rock with pretty much just cellos (and a drummer, they had a drummer since 2005), and no singing (except in I Don't Care, but Adam Gontier of 3DG sang for them there), but wow. Rock with cellos, no bass, no guitar, and NO SINGING. These guys must kick loads of ass.
lol, you want to know what else is funny? The ridiculous amounts of skill required to play these well compared to guitar. They have earned the right to headbang if they want to you little piece of shit
i really love this band their songs help me relaxe and it gives me a sence of peace as welland it makes me look at the world a tinybit differently from what i already c the world in and that is chaos and distruction where this pitiful world was already and destend to be only controled by the greeds of money and people with no money are disoned and left for dead people are tortured and killed for the sake of money and their own sense of sick pleasure

Ive seen them live and let me say that no one leaves an impression like Apocalyptica. I bet people that don't like rock would love some of Ap's work.
I would even go as far as saying that even people that dont like MUSIC would find something to love in Apocalyptica.
Its just pure ecstatic, mind blowing melodies. Who could say no? :D
