Apocalyptica-Hall Of The Mountain King-Rock Am Ring 2005

[AlekThunder47]

Nice arrangement, like this group, and mostly Reflections album ^^

2:00 - he played big tierce, melody in major key. Even professionals make mistakes .__.

[banditlittle]

HEEEEEEELLLLGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAA

[derrickkkk2000]

Lol at about 00:47 some guy gave them the finger

[Ashran]

Norway ftw

[euelll35]

Technically speaking, wouldn't this be considered, "Heavy Wood"?

[FRMmega]

That was actually nice...

[OnsotineFilms]

Wait.. An emo cello player?

[SsnakeBite]

@OnsotineFilms

Huh, I don't see how any of them can be considered Emo, especially considering they're, you know, a metal band.

And even then, I don't see what would be that surprising about an Emo cello player.

[metalvocalistwanted]

check out my inspector gadget metal video...we combined this tune with gadget theme

[p4zuzu]

wish they would come to metaltown gothenburg, sweden this year...

saw them in Sziget festival in budapest 2008, just amazing!!

[aavikkohiekka]

wish apocalyptica would be in sonisphere in finland, pori this year...

[jjjazzycraig]

i cant wait till cello hero comes out for my playstation.

[whyohwhynousername]

Isn't bass a fish?

:D

[tiff6983]

It's not a bass. It's a cello. There is a difference.

[6070505]

im not familiar with this band but do they always play with bass?

[ilovedarkeldar]

Yes they always play with the bass and they do it verey good on mettalica songs as Nothing else matters

[libarationwarrior]

CELLO NOT BASS, if it was bass it'd be a double bass

[cosmolious]

cool!!!

[haidanny]

OMFG! eica waaaaa

[Smellslikerandomness]

damn their good!

[cobra10908]

damn i'm jealous i want a blue cello that is as pimp as shit all i have is a cello with a brown glaze to it

[apocalypticafied]

haha i know, they're REALLY skinny

[Balletismylife9]

PERTTU!!!!!!!

[Pinknarf95]

Just love how their rockin' with cellos!

[Heisen15]

3:11 .. paavo's face. ha.

[wisecoke7]

... creepy

[wjansen1]

etoi huiney mozhno pitat ludey

[citycatred]

Paavo and Antero=HOT!!

[pyrothesis1]

i think they should of shown antero when eccia asked him if he was havkng a good time just so we could see less of his robotic appearance

[laddyofdarkness]

the best video EVERRRRRRRRR

O.O

[an3m6x]

oooh, theyre rocking out so hardcore with their cellos. seriously, why is it that every one in the eastern area of europe have this obsession with medievilizing everything. im sure if you attatched the bows to longswords theyd fall apeshit in love with it.

[exigentrevolution]

It's not just europe.

It's not even just the eastern side of the world.

Do some research.

[leganoth2]

lol its funny cuz its true

[lachmeneger]

fs any non live on this fucking song?

[Tezcatilipoca]

woo go hairmops

[brainsare]

Oh god, why are these hairmops brutalizing the work of the great Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg?!?

Where is the firing line when you need it >_>

[Literally]

"Hairmops"? Nice one.

[Warkupo]

It's a tribute you stupid fuck.

[KaguyaQuincy]

im sorry but was that electric cello?

[TuomasHolopainen4eva]

Yes, that's electric cello. Not much different from a normal cello really, it's just hooked up to a speeker. These guys make they greatest cello metal ever. Why use guitars when you can use cellos? ;)

[BaphometLevi]

It's not an eletric cello.

[JanakBlue]

Yep, it's not an electric cello. Electric cellos are just the neck of the cello with sound pickups on it. You can tell from the tone they just have it miced.

[scottishcello27]

carbon fiber cello......nice

[furbigheimer]

this one takes the paint of a car , I heard many versions of this song , this is one of the best

[noyle]

me encanta apocalyptica!!!!!!!

[HylianGuard]

This band is so incredibilly good!!! Finland Norway and Sweden are really comming up!! It,s just the beginning of Some new kind a music age

[farewellio]

Where is the mp3 of the Hall of a Mountain King WITH drums?

[Jamie202]

synyster gates is a seriously talented guitar player, youre a fool if you disagree just because hes in A7X. he has more talent than a lot of modern day players.

[SturmDang]

in the beginning it's almost like finnish..strong accent :D

However,he blowed up the audience :D

[masterretsam21]

deathislove fuck you please

[masterretsam21]

the intro is hall of the mountain king of savatage?

[DeathIsLove]

Go learn history. 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' is from a norwegian composer Edvard Grieg for Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, which premiered in Oslo 1876. So it is A LOT older than Savatage. Don't be uncultured person - research things before writing somthing like this. Please.

[Frambusjt]

he just asked a question, that's no reason to call him an uncultured person, actually you could call this his research.

[ElTaco820]

AWSOME SONG!!!!!!!

[zeignsgurl313]

This was AMAZING... too bad the video makes it sound as though they're out of tune.

[CanadianHunter99]

why would syn be in this gay band

[cuchiflako]

canadian mutter ficker

[fcukfishycraker]

is synyster gates in this band

[BubbleMusicHead]

Uhm, no...

Synster Gates is in 'Avenged Sevenfold'.

<3

[Secretariat442]

*gigglesnort*

No, he isn't in this band..

[xr3druM]

God no. That no-talent fool would never be able to get into a band that has the originality and talent of this one. Avenged Sevenfold just plays the music the radio wants to hear and records everything they do in studio. When they're live, it's all the same. Their solos aren't hard, either. With some practice, it's done in about a day- flawlessly. The solos are the same in concert.

They have no talent. Apocalyptica is original and their outstanding at their instruments.

[javi9446]

ur such a dumbasss.....synyster gates, in a band this GOOD ?????

hes not good enough to be playing with such talent as these guys

[Alaphlosiam]

So that fag ISN'T in this band, right? If he is, my liking of Apocalyptica's gonna drop like 40%. I looked it up, and I can't seem to find any connections, which is good. But you never know.

[McCabezy1]

synester gates is in avenged sevenfold and has no contact or anything to do with apocalyptica as far as i no.

[javi9446]

haha yea

[BrokenBook]

If you know about this band, you wouldn't be critisizing them so lightly XD This song is supposed to sort of sound like this. Its fun to play like that. I think their musical abilities are fine, seeing as they all graduated from a college of music. Check out their other stuff, they are very inspiring to fellow cello players *dances with cello*

[coolcat12121]

screw u this bands' asome

[BrokenBook]

Indeed they are =D

[xr3druM]

This band is exceptionally talented and original. I play the Cello too, and have for about eighteen years. You don't know what you're talking about. Learn how to recognize original styles of music when you are approached by them.

[musicluver31]

I LOVE THEM!!!!!! thats freakin cool head banging to classical is amazing...i never would have thought!

[exteb4n]

dude if u like symphonice rock take a look at nightwish... :)

[dagame345]

dont.

[MatteV2]

yeah. Do.

[Trazish]

Is this what they rock out to in Europe? Jking, but seriously, they were head-banging to In the hall of the Mountain King. I like my classical music and I like it when they make it rock-ish, but this was a good laugh. These guys were the offspring of Mozart and Ozzy.

P.S. You laugh harder when you try to watch this and take the band as a serious rock band.

[Chocobo123]

dude yur a fag this is one of the greatest bands ever!!!!!!

[vilpertti666]

FUCK YOU!

[Zodali]

Listen to the recorded version, or another live version than this

[Viskowskii]

Holy freaking crap... 'Bout 3:15, his hand is moving like lightning O_O These guys should make a bet with the devil for a cello of gold =P

[jsgirl154]

Wow. I feel stupider. What a way to debase real music.

[ReverendSyn]

Put a shirt on for Christ's sake.

[DeathIsLove]

Afects the music in what way? Please. Pfft. Do you think it doesen't get hot/sweaty playing like that? Comfort my dear, comfort.

[abluecardigan]

Headbanging cellos, badass.

[bartussd]

i love the song

[donalddarko2007]

que porqueria, malograron esta bella melodia

[Mybucketgone]

I'm just a little curious: is the tuning on a chello the same for a bass guitar?

[Xdeath606metalX]

No, the tuning for cello is divided in fifths from lowest to highest CGDA, with the C being an octave lower from the middle C (like the C on the open 6th string on a drop C guitar tuning).

[moustatache]

IF you drop your guitar in C you've got an horrible sound ahh excuse me you say If you've got a 7strings sorry..

[pacoelectronico]

Estos finlandeses...

[Mooseboy]

I'm having a Spinal Tap flashback!

[antichrist23]

love the drummers make up!

and the band, 'course.

=]

[pedocles515]

woooo!!!!

blue cello XD

[6ene5i50l]

ah, that makes sense. at least 2 or so guys are consistent. thanks. i cant wait for the new album release in USA. XD gonna be sweet.

[6ene5i50l]

hmm this version is closser to the original composition by means of slow build up to a chaotic finish, but yeah this isn't their best at playing this. i think the output quality had something to do with it.

i just want to know if the 4th cello guy is on drums now or if he left and was replaced or something.

[mightyemock]

OK brief history....the drummer is a new guy Mikko, who joined them in 2005. they've had 2 members leave over time; Max and Antero. And another Cellist Perrtu joined to take Max's place... so they've had 2 combos with 4 cellists and now they have 3. Make sense?

[LuthienArFeiniel]

Their official lineup is 3 celli and a drummer, but Antero (the one sitting all the time, is only there for the gigs, but he isn't part of the band.

[moustatache]

really what is the gigs??

[LuthienArFeiniel]

A gig is a performance.

[moustatache]

thnks I learn a new word

[spiceyscenekidd]

hahaha omfg this is soo funny because i think he speaks German? and in German they don't use helping verbs haha so he says "are you having good time?" but seriously this wasn't their best but still its apocalyptica soo there

[shironezumi]

They are from Finland.

[jzieziula]

Music is constantly evolving! Some of you people sound like your 70. They are just paying homage to the music they like.

[biene71291]

i love apocalyptica and you (kjottis) i can do bad words in finish too: haista paska, vittu!!!

[Sakiido]

this is good but this could have been so much better! jujst imagine oif they had more than one drummer! and on the guitars not classical instruments *shudders with Ecstasy(not the drug* it would be wonderful

[SamWinchester]

I love these guys! I wish we could of had cello player like that in my orchestra when i was in school! We'd of rocked!

[jessie941988]

Classical music has been ripped off so many times.

[nattkreatur]

They have killed a classic :(

[endre93]

i know xD,

[santuel]

Skwisgaar? :D

[m05586]

C'est merveilleusement fou ! J'adore !

[endre93]

hope edward grieg was alive to see this, xD hope some one is gonna make classical music again so other band can metalise it :)

[SasukeDaPunk]

This song was made in the late 1800's. He'd have to be over 150 years old.

[efaman]

Perfect proof of the oh so great simmilarities between metal and classic music. People don't realize it, but they are actually almost alike!

[lestatrox]

you r so right and my head was banging when i first hears it!

[1337mynumber]

I hear you :D

[KainCruentus]

people headbanging to classical music, awesome.

[arcaris28]

ijust think that he screams at the begining, THANK YOU ROCK AL PARK.....jejej, thats because they remember the performance on ROCK AL PARQUE, bogotá Colombia, THE Greatest rock fest on south america. And bogotá has become a great place to play, we had Dream theater, Yngwie, Megadeth, Metallica, Gun's, Kreator, SLAYER, and very soon SYMPHONY X(june 19th) AND IRON MAIDEN (Feb 08) POGOTÁ, COLOMBIA que chimba hps..

[AeonBloom]

I cant wait for their new album. They should come down to San Antonio, texas. The mosh pit!!!!

[guitaristofgod]

crazy!! \,,/

[AeonBloom]

Eicca Toppinen=impulse to touch yourself LOL

[AeonBloom]

yum. Eicca has a killer body. and he is so funny. I would kill to see Apocalyptica live. When is their next show? are they even a band still?

[dafrvzla]

they had a show last saturday in finland.they are recording their new album and maybe they will be on world tour next year :) so we are waiting impaciently!!!

[theothercrazo]

Absolutely...AWESOME!!

[nonamebob83]

Well this wasn't the best of their covers but still kicks ass :)

[AeonBloom]

Great. I just got to see Eikka topless. What a treat to my depraved eyes. haha!

[kyuubi202]

this heaka funny rockers are playing classical music lol ohter wise the play ok

[Shitami6567]

We are playing this in orchestra right now ^.^ I'm a viola though. Good remake! ^.^

[UchihaItachi19]

How.......WEIRD!

[ZeroDestroyer]

hahaha everyone is headbanging to clasical music

XD

[yobot462]

Ok? Buncha metalheads playing cellos or violins or whatever the fuck they are and completely ruining a classic song? Cool?

[brokentrashdrummer]

well, i wont call it ruining... cause a ruined song is never good, its just a cool cover :p

[aragorn1780]

Yeah, you should see Rammsteins cover of Stripped. If anything, it is BETTER than the original Depeche Mode version (yes I heard both)

[DreamWeaver52]

and some people think you can only be cool if you play a modern electric guitar or something.... ha lol. these people are great with the cello. brings a new meaning to how you can play a classical instrument.

[wohli]

Are you have a good time?

LOL

But great song though ;)

[FridayThe13thBiatch]

I love love love apocalyptica. they have gorgeus music.

[BadLuckXIII]

I don't know why, but this just struck me as being really funny and before I knew it, I was crying from laughing so hard.

It's pretty interesting tho.

[AnDieMusik]

When I started playing the cello 8 years ago, I had no idea you could do ANYTHING like this.. Oh.. My.. God..

[dafrvzla]

the best song from Apocalyptica!! yeah, APO ROCKS MY WORLD!!!

[LikuX]

It's awesome, but this is by Grieg... though they rearranged it.

Very awesome shit.

[TheNuclearDwarf]

I am in love with Perttu's blue cello.

[pacocap]

Is there a web page to see if is going to be a tour of Apocalyptica.... I want they come to my country

[MrWeenie]

lol i like the bit where one guy is spinning around while hes still playing. haha

[nostalgicme]

chili hot dog ya mo all home biz is no boy YA!

[Metilma]

i loove how Eicca calls HOTMK "a lovely acoustic ballad". What a ballad, lol!

They made this song so adorably gloomy and heavy and metal, keeping the haunting original theme as well... Great job, they do really well when covering classical pieces too.

[dubhaingeal]

oooh what a lovely cello for a lovely perttu... lool

*apo-fan*

[Sephiroth1121]

*Sehr gut, ja? Lol

[DickPounds]

Yo, I love it when he says, "Der good, ja!" Fuckin' Germans.

[cultures353]

Or better yet, just shut up

[twin4447]
