They have Piezo pickups on there cellos (I'm not sure which brand.) then they run it through distortion. You can us a pedal, preamp, a really nice guitar head (or a nice combo like a 6505+.) just make sure what ever amp you are going to use has a nice clean channel, if you want to do clean stuff, and have it still sound close to a acoustic cello. If you are intrested more in this kind of stuff. I can message you a URL to a forum that has a ton of info on this.
@hunterflame01 Perhaps you shoud try to defeat yourself...That`s the way to become ,, better" than Apocalyptica, although music`s not a competition...
@DOA8U Perhaps you heard it from a friend with good taste in music because I don't know where it might have been used in other Media. In any case, you heard it here, and you should play it again.
@Powerhungry5000 They just add distortion. When you add distortion to an instrument, you can add distortion to pretty much any instrument, it sounds like the instrument people hear distorted most which is a guitar.
@TehKingBubbles i agree completely!!! except..... dude... its a cello... lol you'll probly hear this from other ppl too... but apocalyptica is cello... no violin... silly ppl =P
There is a story of the Roman Emperor Nero, who is said to have been sitting on the roof of his palace, and playing his Violin as he watched the city of Rome burn down around him... ...I could see this song being the one he played as he sat there......
@gargoloso I know that violins didn't exist back then... ...I was just saying that if it had actually been possible for it to happen, I think this is the song he would have played...
Kinda funny in Your Listening for the Guitar parts but It's a Chello plays with the ears a bit. you don't have to like this music to enjoy it, there's no controversy over the Lyrics and it's something different to listen to than a Guitar. Apocalyptica Rules!!!!
this is the original form of music we have all long forgotten this music is disappearing and soon it will be gone we should appreiciate the beauty it emits
cus hes not the same person, right now they have 3 celloist and 1 drummer, at one point they had 4 celloist and no drummer, thats the only thing i can explain for yah buddy
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Headbanger cellists. Whoda thunk, huh? Still, not too bad. I usually think this metal grunge stuff is ridiculously poor but they have turned it into something pretty cool.
im not saying its not talent, fk i couldnt do this to save my life, but its that they bring somthing differeent and fresh to the genre... or to any genre of popular music, how many other bands are based on cellos? and its not the mush that most other artists keep putting out over and overr again
What the fudge? how? When? nobody told me you could make the most freakin amazing music ever witha cello!! Why wasnt i told about this band before im so funking pissed!
apocalyptica is the most amazing band i have ever heard, the music is so powerful and describes the whole story line of the song without any vocals. how they mix a normally classical instrument with heavy style guitar riffs and drum beats is so creative and makes the listener want to listen to it over and over again
@xXa7xXrocksXx I completely agree. I've listened to many bands, but Apocalyptica is the one band that I can listen to one of their songs and it will never get old, because it's so different.
@xXa7xXrocksXx 2 things 1 they have had singers before and 2 well besides that its all true XD but still they have pplz come and sing for all of there songs and they also do it without singers ex. Im not jesus singer corey tayler
My retarded friend has bought a cello because of this band. He thinks he's going to be an awesome cello rockstar or something. What he doesn't realise is that he'l be learning classical cello, and will mostly be doing bass rythms not melodies.
I love Apocalyptica's music. I have friends who play cello, and I always ridicule them, but really, this is an amazing instrument, and these guys are at the pinnacle of awesomeness!
