  • well i think its way better than the other violin covers i saw. those i was not looking for.

    i was watching the sand picture girl doing ilistrating a story of ww2 with sand, and this song comes on. and i was looking all over for the cover. and u helped me find it! ^^ so the original violin cover is by apocalyptica? i think i diffinitely heard of them, im gonna check it out now. peace. and btw the dancers were awesome :)

  • very shit

  • I think it's pretty.

  • Oh GEEZ, COME ON give them a freekin break!! Yes they maybe out of tune, but APPRECIATE IT for what it is. These guys and gals are trying, for goodness sakes. GRRR. You negatives make me negative and angry. It is through practicing, playing, reciting and repeat the above three that makes one even BETTER. They will get better and improve their musical skills and talent. Time for these musicians are on THEIR SIDE and is their BEST friend. What more could you ask???

  • Oh please, all y'all niggas can't have that good of an ear. Ya'll are probably just jumping on the bandwagon of someone else's comment.

    And just because you don't approve of something, doesn't mean you have more musical insight.

  • my middle school orchestra has better tunes than them and im in middle school :P

  • @abbygirldelrosario Let me get this straight; you're in middle school???? Thank you for telling us TWICE. You told us twice that you're in middle school, twice you've told us you're in middle school.

  • OOHhhhhhh my ears!!! Im breaking down!!!

    TUNE!! Learn how to play!!!

  • It's  terrible !!!!!!!!!

  • Wow! Amazing performance! I think I'm gonna die

    Where did the guitar players come from?!

  • no matter if those instruments are tuned or not. in fact they have no frets. a good player could even play in a not perfectly tuned instrument. nevertheless this is damn amazing

  • this is awesome

  • You should make sure all of your instruments are in tune before playing.

  • Great video! A lot of the dumbs that are comenting here cannot do better!

  • not good !! at all

  • Pffffff!!! Ejemmm si, el bajo de fondo suena bien...

  • As a former High School Musician (Violin)...they did an exceptional job on this

  • I think they did awsome work.

    Just only because they did that awesome guitarwork in a proper orchestra version. I don't know many schools which do that kind of artwork.

    Thumbs up

  • Okay I am not trying to say this group is bad enjough to need many comments from the same poster about it, but all these idiots are replying to other people who said they're bad by saying "Zomg they're in high school". So these idiots are telling other people they're "bad" for mentioning that this high school orchestra is NOT doing a very good job, even though they should be playing all the notes correctly etc. since that is the standard thing you would expect of a high school...

  • Holy shit, they messed up a LOT for a high school orchestra. In other words, NONE of the mass ensemble parts were in harmony and played together. One part was completely out of tune, and the next "solo" with full backing was way at the wrong volume. Most high school orchestras/bands/choirs are a LOT better then this! I would have enjoyed it anyway :D.

    Apocalyptica's arrangement has only FOUR PARTS (not even one for each INSTRUMENT!). They should have used S&M's.

  • what?! that, especially for a high school performance, is amazingly in tune- god, you obviously haven't heard many high school orchestras of that complexity to say it's bad.

    The first minute and a half, apart from the first wayward note, was nearly flawless. In fact, apart from the odd dodgy note in the big harmonies, the only section which was painful was the solo. Impressive job on a tough arrangement, and the dancers added a little visual flavour, great stuff!

  • @dysfunctionaldave NO! They're amazingly good for NINE-year-olds BUT THEY'RE 15! (Actually, they're probably 16-18 if they're allowed to do the good stuff.) WHAT high school band/orchestra do you know that can

    t even play ANY of the parts TOGETHER?! My FIFTH-grade band played more together then that! It's not ear-bleeding N'T ANYWHERE NEAR GREAT!

  • Whats this ???????

  • I wish I was just a little bit younger, so that something like this could have happened at my high school. No matter what, for one night you were all epic.

  • @mycroftxxx S&M was released in 1999... and it's not the first symphonic rock album... not to mention the a capella popular-song groups hat have been going on since the 70s...

  • Are they out of tune? Are they young musicians? Or is it just bad audio? Good concept, the dancers are a little gay though.

  • @EyeCandy1475 No, they're not out of tune except on two parts one of which seems solo. No, they are not young musicians. No, it is not a bad recording.

  • Just imagine it wouldn't been better if the sound was cleaner, it's kinda blaring.

  • whoever the group is on that stage - I got tears in my eyes by seeing this - good job folks

  • issu eh uma tremenda falta de sacanagem

  • sounds not harmonic .....

  • This is shit... Metallica shood kill you for this...

  • Yay for school orchestras! :D

  • that cello was out of tune

  • wow! please dont ever do that again! some things are just not ment to played on chelo

  • @q2069

    when its played in tune its beautiful, ook for the apocalyptica version

  • This makes me miss playing in my jr n highschool bands. Ton's of fun!

  • Ok, you do not just ask for sheet music. From what my cello teacher taught me you FIGURE it out by practicing by ear. I never got to play from sheet music until 3 months after of ear practicing. Playing a string instrument is an art. Not just playing for the heck of it. You must learn to hear pitch before you can play well.

  • This is good, however-when performing with a small group, it is best to use that pinky finger to hit the 'a' and 'e' otherwise the sound is just not smooth sounding. I can hear everytime someone saws on that A string and it is somewhat painful to the ear. Otherwise, this performance was pretty good.

  • DONT READ THIS Cause It Really Works. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY Cuz IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS reaLLY WORKS

  • sorry to say but this is a good way to turn good music bad now dont get me wrong im a fan of classical music and metal but this kinda jus put it in a bad way

  • can guitar sheet music be translated into cello if you know scales well enough?

  • Any 1 think about tuneing the instruments before starting i find this sometimes makes things sound better?

  • ya got guts to not use any enhancements to your sounds..

  • That sounds crappy. A lot of notes were skipped. IK it's not played on the guitar but still, c'mon...

  • I appreciate the effort here, but I dont like the performance. It looks too busy and the dancing adds nothing. Being in tune would help too. Leaping around all over the place just looks bizzare.

  • Cool :D!

  • woulda been better with a guitar

    (electric i mean)

  • That's how to destroy a masterpiece!

  • How does the color guard dance out of tune like that?

  • What the hell is this, i got distracted from the freaking annoying dancers with their pink flags or whatever

  • GET RID OF THE DANCERS OTHERWISE AWESOME PERFORMANCE!!!!

  • Nice one, If Metallica see it they will be surprised

    5 stars and best whises for you.

    Brazilian admirer.

  • Well II really liked it and enjoyed it. I think you guys did it well and you put alot of love into your performance :) Good job.

  • my ears.. I think they are bleeding :(

  • What an atrocity!

  • how could they do his to an awesome song

  • Sometimes it's like: my poor ears! I hope it was better 'live' for the audience, but sometimes it's not that bad.. i don't know. And the dancers... it's just weird.

  • Comment removed

  • Die Cellos werden ja sooo falsch gespielt. :D

    Merkt man so extrem deutlich, wenn die (garantiert) richtig gestimmte Gitarre dazu spielt. x3

  • Very, very bad..... this is not music.

  • i would not want anyone, let alone high schoolers (no offense), twirling a rifle around my instrument!!!! omg!

  • very beautiful not really a melo-m arrangement but nice non the less a-

  • Melo-M... How about referring to the original?

  • melo-m is the apocalyptica arrangement / original arrangement. Unless you mean the original song. If that is what i compare this to then i would have to give it an f for being to slow and not being a song you want to dance to. On the other hand comparing it to a melo-m arragment it is done with great class and gets an a-.

  • where did you get the sheet music????

  • @a7x4eva101

    It can be found online, but I will work on posting here in the future.

  • @a7x4eva101 You can buy Apocalyptica at any music store, freakin' awesome sound on a good home system. This is just a cover of obviously by Metellica.

  • the crowd was howling at the beginning and someone was like, SSHHHH!!!! shut the F up the song is starting!!

  • I'll give you a B+

  • its okay over all but intonation is a big problem, they intonation is all over the place,

  • Beginning kills you. So does the dancing. But overall it's pretty good.

  • Is that jose playin cello?(front)

  • Dude they're in Highschool that's not a fail they just were a bit out of tune

  • @thelittlz

    it's easy to be critical when you've achieved little. Doing is the hard thing. Overall, very creative; I enjoyed watching it.

  • @thelittlz a little bit? lol

  • its a little rusty bit ITS AWSOMEEEEEEE !!!!!!!

  • They should practice much more

  • TEH FUCK?

  • dude omg fail like super hardcore zombie aids fail

  • HAHAHA!

  • bleah

  • Awful!!!

  • I think that they are all growing musicians... not everyone is born into a yo yo ma. They are up there playing on stage trying and that's more than a lot of people can say. That said the director definitely could have improved some elements..

  • i want that 4:14 of my life back please..

  • oh godness it's so bad! -.-

  • ohohohohohooho =D=D=D wtf the sologuitar sounds like shit sorry but this is =D=D ohhh no everything was beautful but the guitar man destroy very much =D

  • shit this !! Absolutly false

  • The girl dancers add nothing to the performance!

  • @UndrivenSnow GIUSTO....POTEVANO EVITARE

  • Ha, I went to this high school.

  • could have been better

  • epic metallica song :P

  • Oh my god I love this so much..... It's so liberating.

  • and im pretty sure all the people in the world who dont understand english dont care what you say either. also if they dont know english how can they listen to your advice?

  • hey thats just plain rude and mean you should really be more considerite how would u like it if someone tolk u your launguage was anoying and to stop writing in it huh?knock it off

  • Please don't type in stupid, if you're a moron or live in American I don't care what you say it's annoying so stop it.

  • That is quite rude, when say "or live in America" please narrow it down to just the morons of America, or just plainly the Morons, I myself find this to be as of greatness.

  • you are an ignorant dick

  • ...you do know that Youtube isn't available in just America, right?

    So why should everyone type in english?

  • so which language do you recommend us english speaking people-not just americans, but people from the UK, australia, new zealand, canada and countless other countries- go out and learn to type lol?

  • Bello de ver y oir a estos chicos ... que importa la calidad de la ejecucion, ellos estan gozandolo. Nuestro pais sera mejor con este ejemplo. Bravoo chicosss...!

  • wow are you guys out of tune

  • there in high school..lets remember that and the fact that their not sitting on a couch,playing games or doing drugs.

    Godbless those young men and women.

    good job.

  • I expected to see bows in time with the ups and downs, Its very sloppy. The drums over kill everything. This would have been great if everyone would have been on the same page.

  • yea hold your bow straight bass player

    this isnt bad, not good tho

  • This is just awesome :D I love it

  • pinchis desafinados!!!

  • fantastic *_*

  • This is pretty good. I mean, yeah it does sound kind of suckish but I'm guessing it's mostly due to the camera's recorder and the position that the camera person is in. I don't think that being off to the side of the instruments is a good idea. Plus they probably didn't get all that much time to practice. Then again, I'm only guessing so I could be wrong. Hey, it's better than I can do.

  • this sucks!

  • oh god! get mad at me all you want. that was just awful. it would have been better if they tuned and the dancing was just weird. at one point, you see one of the girls step on her ribbon thingy and nearly drop it. she caught it though, that was good. but jeez... UGH!!!

    and this comment comes from someone who has played a cello. i played for two years and i would probably suck at playing this now, but at least i can tune my cello

  • wow this is really good and for everyone else who is saying bad things about it, I woud like to see them do it!

  • I don't know why everyone else is saying such horrible things, but I loved it! It's super WICKED!

  • wow this is really horiable

  • The musicians do a pretty good job but the color guard dancing around kinda makes it look silly.

  • no thank you :(

  • for crappy high school rented student instruments, this is pretty good tuning wise.

  • AAAgghhhh! Didn't they tune?!

  • They probably wanted to sound more like Metallica so they didn't

  • 0_o .........

  • metallica rules

  • O_O hahaha wow yeah from the start it was bad... sorry

  • Overall concept good, but the tuning, whoa!

  • amazing the guitars awesomwe the i don´t know bateria in english but the cello and violins amazing and the dance Awesome

  • yea guard!

  • I sure it is mostly the recording that is bad but i think that it would have been better that the soloist use a wooden cello, there is a reason apo don't use electric cellos. Just get a good pick up mic

  • it's not a bad recording...they are really out of tune...it's very painfull to my ears. OUCH!

  • The guitarist sucked so bad

  • maan, just good ;/

  • Terribly off key and out of tune. Good job for trying, obviously everyone put a lot of time into this.

  • not apocalyptica but ya still gotta give them credit for trying if we played this bad though my orchestra director would feed our balls to the dogs

  • No offense but that was terrible

  • Holy crap get in tune! Tuning makes any arrangement sound bad.

  • the dancers are killers for the song

    yes the song should be play only original

  • The drummer is like 10 miles behind the rest XD

  • Just beautiful

  • A very unique arrangement, quite good. It is hard to play some of Metallica's songs on guitar let alone tranlate them to orchestral instruments.

    Keep up the good work!

  • god that cellist suks

  • omg i can play that whole song on guitar, and like you know what it takes to play it andtranscribing it over to different parts in a big classical orchestra is pretty damn hard, that sounded amazing, great job

  • thats shit. nothing else matters is a guitar song. and i like the original song, that is shit

  • then why did you watch it?

  • You are shit.

  • All the notes are just the same, the rest is personal preference. Don't bash it.

  • it's out of time...

  • the guitar was unplugged? lol

  • he started with the wrong note... ahaha

    but i liked itttt

  • It needs some training....

  • i thought color gaurd was only for marching band. orchestras don't need extra visuals.

  • MY EAAARS AAAAAAHHHH

    must hear apocalyptica now...

  • Come on !

    at least they tried.

    and they tried it very well....nice try :)

  • mh its not good. i dont understand how someone could rate this with more than 1 star-.- its just an insult for all the apocalytica fans. perhaps you should focus on well-playing and not on some creepy show...sry

  • that's not good... bad tenique, bad sound, bad solo, but good idea... try to do it better... 10times better to sound good

  • i know they tried...honestly they tried...but that intro just killed it...sorry!

  • ;-)not so beautiful....sorry..

  • omg painful

  • I wonder if Metallica knew that this song would reach such epic heights...i.e.....ballet

  • yep..

    haha

    at least, the music was great!!!!

    and METALLICA ROX!!!

  • I just want to go to a high school where the orchestra teacher knows Apocalyptica!

  • I live in the south of Brazil.

    Your performance (both drama and actor/dancers) and music,

    is beautiful!

  • they ruined it...

    Leave the Cello to Apoclyptica and leave teh Metal with teh Orchestra to Metallica (Symphony and Metallica 1999. Epic.)
