This is AWESOME!!!!!!!! As a lifelong fan of both classical music and heavy metal I've long dreamt of combining the two formats (both playing metal songs on classical instruments and vice versa). This is exactly what I want to hear! The cello has a similar enough sound to the (electric)|guitar to translate well, but with so much more tonal richness. Great stuff!!
@CritisizeYou Dude, as a cello player, unplanned headbanging can really fuck up a performance. I was playing a show once, and I started headbanging at a spot I usually didn't, and I was off by about a beat for that whole verse. It's really important for any musician to have at least some sort of roadmap for a performance, even when it comes to gimmicky things like headbanging.
Why does it take musicians from Europe to give us wonderful new sounds. They are the Beethoven's of 2000 . STOP HARMING OUR EARS MOLLY CYRUS!!!! LEAVE US ALONE AND GET ANOTHER PATHETIC TATTOO. OR TAKE A RIDE ON DADDY'S COAT TAILS.
ever heard this? Repeat after me! "die! die! die! die! die! die! die! die!.....:DIE!! BYYY MYYY HAANDDD!!! I CREEP ACROSS THE LAAAAND!!! KILLING FIRST BORN MAAAN!! you mothefuckaaaaa DIE!! BYYY MYY HAAND!! I CREEP ACROSS THE LAAAND!! KILLING FIRST BORN MAAAAAAAN!!!!!!.......
I didn't know these guys were cello players unti I found them doing Nothing Else Matters. But, I didn't know that they could do even more Metallica. David Garret does Nothing Else Matters and Master of Puppets on a Violin. But this stuff, it gets me headbanging. LOL
@Christopherwilder47 first time I saw these guys i said " WOW look at that chick rock that cello"! Then BAM!! She was a he. LOL! They still rock though.
This obviously rocks....but you just don't look that tough with a cello no matter how long your hair is and how many tattoos you have..Rock On Apocalyptica.
One thing I've never understood about these guys is why they stick with a barcus-berry pickup. I've had mine for less than 2 years and it's already basically broken. It's a piece of shit really. They should probably switch to David Gage.

@SasukeUchihaVLAD Talking about covers, whether visually or sonically, if a particular combination of notes struck a chord in your heart in a way that you want to be a part of it by covering that song, then there's nothing wrong with it.
These guys have more talent in their pinky finger than you could ever imagine to have. And ya, people win money for that. Go Do Something Else With Your Life Naruto Fanboy
The new herbal essence shampoo, making your hair twice as long and bouncy giving you that perfect swing that guys will go craz-- wait, what!? hes a guy!? oh..............
You must love that faggy rap shit then eh? Oh, wait i mean "R & B" sorry my bad. either way it sucks balls compared to the awesomeness of headbanging and having talent with non metal instruments...i'd like to see fiddy cent do that.
It is almost sickening what these guys can do on a cello. It's not natural to be able to play that fast and accurate on an upright..haha. I love these guys
wow, i thought this was a joke with the cellos, then i checked out their other songs and found out its their main instruments. but i have to admit, these guys are fucking good.
Actually, they'd all probably be lead cellos in major symphony orchestras, since all of them are classically trained and more than one of them has done stints with orchestras in the past.
I agree, why are you hear if you can't appreciate. I myself play cello, and they are a major idol to me. It seems easy to play without breaking a bow, strings or screech a sting, it's ALOT harder than it looks, especially how they play. They are amazing. : )
Well said! I've taught myself how to play cello and these guys ARE phenomenal! I admire their skill as well, and hope that I can play as fast as they can play. You're so right when you say it's A LOT harder than it looks. (they make it look so easy, cuz they're sooooooooo good)
Mate, you are musically disabled if you dont apreciate the proffessionalism of Apocalyptica. U dont understand the art of the music and I doubt u do so bout Metallica as well...
the blonde hair guy looks like zake wylnn pre-ozzy then stands up and plays standing up and turns tward the drummer looks like he was a guitarist at one time..... looks like a metal guy for sure hell yeah die by my hands
Pretty same that S&M but still totally different because apocalyptica plays heavymusic, and san fransico symphony orcestras players are just poor classical clowns:D
