  • Slipknot HAVE TO SEE THESE VIDEOS, they would love them

  • what a great piece of slipknot music that helps you relax

  • oh my, hey--i did my version on strings too, its really on a keyboard/strings =) you did great =)

  • Superior.

  • 0:00

  • Wow, this does sound very close to the actual song. And as I said before, it sounds like it could go into a video game.

  • If only they could do squealies on cellos and violins!

  • this is just terrible it sounds like the crap you would get on an old mobile phone :@

  • @TheRobbieWalker1 hahahahhhhhahah agree

  • i am totaly getting this played at my wedding! :D

  • great!

  • thumbs up if u didn't listen all tha way thru

  • this is pretty cool, though the vocal parts could be better

  • yeah these don't sound quite like real instruments, still awesome though

  • omg this shit is sooo annoying.

  • Sliptendo

  • As a maggot into other music, it's easily fake, but it still fuckin sounds wicked! :)

  • midi? lol

  • Idk y but this reminds me of the movie Halloween and this is awesome

  • I fucking hate tabulature shit this isn't a string tribute this is a midi piece of crap. if you want real string tributes look up the vitamin string quartet

  • @gokdude you dont know this is awsome

  • think a monkey could do better than this

  • Yeah no shit this isn't an actual orchestra. It's something some guy made on his computer. Doesn't mean it doesn't sound great. It also gives you an insight into what it would actually sound like if they did it.

  • ill tell you as a fact that aint a violin

  • Sounds computer like

  • what a joke.

  • wat instraments is this

  • @timelord1001 violin chello i think the chello is the 1 that sounds the deepest and the violin is the high pitched 1 how do i know i played anviolin before but now i dont

  • Bullshit, if you're going to do a "heavy string tribute" Use something more quality then a first act keyboard at walmart.

  • 0:40-1:09

  • slipnot is fucking awsome

  • MIDI FTL!!!!!

  • this would be better with acoustic strings, very nice arrangement though.

  • Sounds like something that can be from Kingodom Hearts. :)

  • haha sounds like somthing off an old video game haha still..nice job

  • shit basically the oringal is millions times better

  • @SLIpKnOtFaN4LiF orily? so like a cover by heavy strings isnt better, i had no idea thanks for telling me so i know..fucking retard

  • @ MERTx123

    I am a slipknot fan and i write classical and metal music. you're right thought these arent cello's. they are called Synth Strings.

  • OK, I'm going to get flamed for this, but this recording must either be programmed, or performed on electronic string instruments. I know most maggots have no fucking clue what a cello or a violin actually sounds like, but I do, and this is NOT it.

  • Comment removed

  • you didn't get flammed. You got 6 thumbs up :)

  • You are totally right bro , this is electronic as fuck

  • we don't actually need to know because in metal those instruments are useless :))

    though i do how those 2 sound

    gn

  • I disagree! Have you ever heard Apocalyptica? Western Classical string instruments lend themselves surprisingly well to the metal genre.

  • no i haven't

    and i don't really care :D

    i only care about slipknot

    anyway thanks for the information

  • thats becuase metal is basses off of classical music and the blues.

  • @MERTx123 I saw Apocalyptica live supporting Rammstein in my home town of Nottingham, UK. Absolutely blew me away, never heard of them before, so I agree with what your saying.

  • @MERTx123 +1!

  • @MERTx123 Absolutelly agreed. You can tell by alot of other song that they did this to that it's not a real cello

  • @MERTx123 yea you re right

    it sounds like a sample box or a keyboard

  • @MERTx123 unbelievably right.

  • @MERTx123 um. Durr. you can hear effects. btw im not a maggot im a metal head. i dont like slipknot.

  • @MERTx123 that sounds like a keyboard

  • @MERTx123 True. It would have been cool if they used actual; instruments.... :s

  • @MERTx123 I do and I agree... it definately sounds like a midi-like sound and not an actual stringed instrument.

  • @MERTx123 +10000000000000000

  • @MERTx123 who cares it sounds awesome thats all that matters

  • @MERTx123 Agreed, I play Cello,viola/ violas da gamba/violin, I have played covers with metal, Tbh i like the electric sound for it it is more hevey and chopy. But Still I do not think this is sampled.

  • @MERTx123 you know i thought the same thing so i decided to look into it. surprisingly, its real. its recorded in an echo room and these ppl are f*cking nuts with these instruments. plus no offense dude, but you must not work with audio a lot because what your hearing is the feedback from the treble being to high in an equalizer. besides, most of the ppl who would flame you for this are the surprisingly common "mentally stunted" maggot (stoner).

  • @MERTx123 Dude I've been a Maggot for years but I also listen to classical music. (not starting shit just commenting that even people who you don't expect to listen to certain types of music can) But I totally agree with you on how this sounds like someone used a keyboard with strings sampled on it or something.

  • @MERTx123 It's obviously a keyboard lmao

  • @MERTx123 Its called a midi file. Duh!

  • @MERTx123 i'm thinking it's an electric violin, and synthed cello. i'm in orchestra, so i know they did sumthn to it to :T still sounds cool, if not a little video game-ish.

  • @MERTx123 i know what it soudns like, and yea. it's electric. My freinds and i learned the music to plauy it and it sounds MUCH more mellow on real cellos and violins

  • @MERTx123 so true. i play cello and guitar, and am a big metal fan, and this sounds so little like the real thing.

  • @MERTx123 dude, it's a string tribute, it doesn't say what exact instruments were used....

  • @MERTx123 yeah, i play guitar, my older sister played cello....

    this doesnt sound real at all. sounds like a keyboard simulation.... on a computer

  • @MERTx123 xD Im a maggot and have been playing violin for bout three years now. I do STRONGLY believe its electric though.

  • @MERTx123 i know what string instruments sound like and this stuff sounds like crap. this stuff is totally digital.

  • @MERTx123 your right

  • @MERTx123 actually it may be a mixture because i used to play in band and we did concerts with band and ochestra and it sounded a tiny bit like this when it came to violin and cello

  • @MERTx123 why not

  • @MERTx123 not saying your wrong, but sounds like strings bein banged and dragged with the bow to me, or like some other guy said i mixture of both, someone should write them and just ask, did you do this with real instruments or digital or both, LOL

  • @MERTx123 true, i play violin and this sounds nothing like the real instrument. but you have to admit this is pretty cool

  • @MERTx123 You're actually right, they couldn't bring the instruments down to the right tuning.

  • @MERTx123 YEAH DUDE I AGREE. THIS COULD EVEN BE SOME BEAST ASS KEYBOARD OR SOME SHIT.

  • @MERTx123

    My first mobile phone had shitty electronic songs on it like this.

  • @MERTx123 I agree, it sounds WAY too mechanical and cut up. Real violins and cellos and such flow a lot more. Kind of disappointing, really.

  • @mrcheapknockoff exactly what i was thinking. it is dissapointing. prob would sound good with real violins cause it would flow like the song is meant to. idk i still like the idea.

  • @MERTx123 I Do, I Do. 8 years on Sax and you learn about Classical instruments. Still.. I really like this

  • @MERTx123 guess ur not getting flamed....(83 likes)

  • @MERTx123 i play cello

  • @MERTx123 your comment is wrong on many levels 1. most maggots are quite musical and know what classical instruments sound like and 2. the way you worded it makes maggots sound like they have one brain cell to share between each other

  • ALl this got

    All this song got is insane!;o

  • They have nice instrumental versions but I expected to be a bit heavier, considering, "Heavy String Tribute". Unless I am misinterpreting what the name is.

  • in a wierd way i kinda like it

  • 4555635557=Cock FAG

  • hey dumb ass who comment below me, 4555635557, this isnt a program, this is actual people playing string instruments.

    Though they really didnt do a great job on Slpknot, they do fairly good covers of DragonForce

  • lmfao funniest thing ever!

  • @4555635557 u fool all i got to say is u fool

  • Comment removed

  • jajaja esto apesta

  • dude, apocalyptica should start doing string covers of bands other than metallica. They're extremely good, and they actually PLAY instruments other then us midis like whoever made. Apocalyptica would make this song incredible!

  • Apocaknot!!! lol

  • @dan0retallica IDEM! xD

  • @dan0retallica lmao

  • @dan0retallica WHHOOP

  • @dan0retallica I actually like the sound of that.

  • WHAT THE  F*CK :/

  • én azt mondom elkúró caliente....am szar ez a slipknot átrittyentés...az alapötlet nem lenne rossz

  • i thought heavy string was like maybe a higher gain or sumthing xD but i guess its not, this is alright anyway :p

  • esto es una porkeria !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this sucks ass dude... this isn't something you do to a slipknot song.

  • why would i want my favorite slipknot songs turned into shit??

  • if you don't like it you don't have to listen...

    perhaps you should avoid this whole section of youtube?

  • Comment removed

  • hey? do you ever heard about Apocalyptica?

  • yh i like apocalyptica they is solid. i went to see them in liverpool. my gf loves eeica

  • is like apocalyptica

  • i think this is really good im open to new music all the time im very open minded imagine if you were into slipknot and you did ballet you would be able to incorporate this music in you dance and get a few mosh pit moves in there and some windmills with the long hair lol

  • ok forget all of u. think about hard it must be to translate all of this into solid string. Even if this isnt metal its still amazing. I mean i hate classical and opera but this is pure genius! just my thoughts.

  • the chorus was ok

    it actualy was the best part

    the rest sucked

  • I'm what you'd call an "alternative" modern dancer and I loveee this. finally i can dance to music i actually like!

  • its ok not great

  • that was fcking (sic)!! :D

  • would be fucking epic if it was some real recording... now it just sound too fake :S

  • this is just a waste of time for us metal fans so put the right track on!

  • I'm a big metal fan but I like this.

  • comme on its kinda nice...but not for Metal...its nice in a kinda Opera way:)))

  • 2 me this is totaly gay

  • nothing comes close on this!!

  • OMG INSANE!

  • that is awsomely sick

  • What's a "Heavy String" :S?

    Sorry if I'm dumb now XD!

  • cello, contrabas etc i guess

  • Sounds nice!! :D i fucking love SlipKnoT!!

  • this is really good! better than other songs!

  • how can a tribute be an insult? At least he tried =]

    I like the way you captured the angry of slipknot, and the speed.

    Good effort.

  • this is nice.....

  • calm down people the guy who did this probably reeeeeealy likes slipknot. and i bet corey and joey think it's funny.

  • goood man

  • i don't find this really good no offence to people who like it so don't send me crap

  • this is great :D

  • tht would be an insult to metal and slipknot as we know it.

  • this is awsome but u can tell is on a keybord....gud job tho \m/**

  • it kinda sounds like it, but clearly played on cello, violin, viola, and bass . you can hear when the bow hits the strings and you can also tell that its the real instuments because theres muting in the notes a keyboard cant do that

  • No, this is DEFINATELY midi. I've been composing stuff w/ finale for a while now and I play violin and cello. This is definately not a recording

  • thats what i was thinking, this sounds more like midi than string instruments, but nonetheless it sounds cool, never expected it to be this nice!

  • this is pretty cool

  • fuck your guys bullshit with counting witch viewer you are this shit is fucking amazing maggot 4 life stay (sic)
