rasputina - transylvanian concubine

[ZLUGGO]

Cool and cute girl.

[TheMiriamele]

I have never had the chance to see Rasputina live, but I think what people often forget is that when you videotape something like that up close, it is NEVER going to sound as good as it -actually- sounded as a viewer who was actually there. I've taken video at concerts and seen others do it. The concert is AMAZING, but the video is shit. So yeah. I'm sure it was great in person.

[BuchananM]

I love this version of this song and I can't believe how many people don't like it. Can you really blame Melora for wanting to change it up a bit after playing the same song for so many years? I think this version is a breath of fresh air, honestly! I love the cabaret vibe.

[Firehckyman99]

That's our Melora!

[efebrahim]

YES man

[AngelusDlion]

'm agreeing, someone needs to shoot the sound tech.. or at least slap him around a little, this sounds horrid compared to the orginal.

[jweb2nz]

wow I love rasputina and this song as well but this is badly done here.  none of the rhythm or charm of the studio version. I've seen them 4 times thank goodness they were better than this.

[TheiRenaissance]

if you think you are a vampire, or just enjoy killing them check this out

[marcoisado]

She's naturally gorgeousl!!! It's almost like if she and the cello were only one.

[asdfopera]

i like their studio recorded version better. this live version doesn't sound as good.

[1TheOracle1]

So wonderful.

[SilenceSlayer224]

That bow is crying out to me.. it says "Help me, I'm not meant to be abused like this, but I think I like it"

[Thallusrhames]

You know partying with these people would be amazing.

[Thallusrhames]

You KNOW partying with these people would be absolutely amazing.

[djargus]

Really drunk she seems to be, otherwise she would be more concerned about her bow being nearly destroyed there.

[Lievcocijo]

@djargus you really havent played that kind of songs much on cello have you? ;)

[djargus]

@Lievcocijo No, but I would know that keeping a replacement bow on hand in case that situation happens would be my priority.

[Lievcocijo]

@djargus true, true

[Araclain]

i dont think a drunk person could have such chello skillz

[13scoob13]

@Araclain well, shes been playing since she was 9... so yeah, she could probably pull it off drunk.....

[ispeaksub]

If I could pick 3 people to smoke weed with... Melora, Jack Johnson and M.I.A.

[MissMultiMultiverse]

She has mad cello skills.

[XxMissNoNamexX]

Drunk victorian-ish cellists=awesomesauce.

She looks pretty damn content.

[SpaceMinstrel]

she nedds a new bow

[FaeryRibbon]

@SpaceMinstrel Lol, at first, I thought it was a booger. =P

[leacifer]

Who cares if they're drunk. ?They're at a show not recording an album.

[DarkArgent101]

so why do people keep insisting rasputina was DRUNK???

psh yea right

[nerdmachine411]

it wuld be funny if she trew up in the end XD cuz shes drunk

[krizloc]

i love the way she moves. it looks like someone is messing with the speed and direction. she does that on purpose just to hypnotize me

[underlinedluke]

Melora looks so gorgeous here!

[XxRottenMuffinxX]

hahaha She's so awesome, i love the way she plays cello here, and her bow is all torn x}

[mikhaelis]

What the fuck? Was this recorded by a deaf microphone? Get that thing a miracle ear.

[jdagedn1]

dude im a hoe, and my relatives are from transelvania

[TheBlackenedWHITE]

you haven't heard the actual song. the audio on this live version isn't really good.

[lordrach2]

@TheBlackenedWHITE this sounds like crap to me, Apocalyptica is on top really, this bullshit can't tease my ears after listening to Apocalyptica.

[lordrach2]

@bramleysa it's not because they became commercialized that I will pollute my ears with this kind of crap either .... being commercialized as you say doesn't mean their music sucks as well, seriously there is no way to compare them lol, this video sucks at all levels compared to Apocalytptica, I'de tell her, go learn some more Cello because you still suck at it, and she looks ridiculously dumb with that hair style lmao. I have nothing more to add really ...

[bramleysa]

@lordrach2

Hey, please just go ahead and ignore any comments that were posted here under my name- my friend got on my computer and left those messages while I was logged im. I have no idea what she wrote until I saw an email from you-tube.

[cjrush1009]

and so what do you play other then the flesh flute!?

[revrndmel]

He told me that you miss pronounced it he is first chair skin flute! LOL rasputina rocks

[cjrush1009]

LOL!!

[Adastra14]

true

[jackdiesal666]

your ass plays cello awesomly? impresive

[ravynkat]

yeah, usually the hairs on the bow break during performance. you should see how many are left on the stage when they're done.

:)

[domaataajs]

I saw 5 seconds of this and thought - love this.

[sagov9]

strings are the things on the cello, hairs are the things on the bow. It's the hairs that have a hard time holding on here.

[rampantunicorn]

Love her voice, and she can really play that thing!!!

[Human1league]

5 voto para que rasputina se presente en mexico

[smellslikechildren1]

I love how they make the live songs sound so different than the album.

[nmr85]

I like this version a lot!

[SunMoonStars22]

I defiantely love this version of the song. :]

[jonaylor1991]

okay, i like this song, but not this version

i think they sound a bit crap, and out of key

it kinda hurt my ears :(

[cellopaddy]

is this in a key?

[rasputina20]

it is my favorite song ever but did you notice how drunk they where?

[108MiALEE]

Ojala se les ocurra venir a pisar tierras mexicanas, me encantan y sobre todo esta canción...

[StrixLady]

si a mi tambien me encantan!!! TOT

son de lo mejor

i la cancion es buena...

ojala y se les ocurra venir ;)

[KlausOtto3]

artistic madness great

[PyramidHeadRox]

omg her bow's like... broken!

[Angelwing1138]

One of the strings just broke. That'll happen sometimes after a long time playing it without giving it a rest. ^^;

[LynneaOnline]

When did a string break?

[opheliapostmortem]

This version is so cute.

I love how her bow hairs are coming off.

[Liritht]

Se esta cargando e hilo del arco xDDD

pero me encanta esta banda

[HaploSchaffer]

T_T Yo quiero verlos en concierto en españa algún día.

[Daintyfoot]

Melora is a genius ... I sort of miss the eastern european thing Agnyska lent the sound.

Love you Melora, Long may you reign.

[wormgirl69]

(L)

i love it

[IVbaby]

love the sooong

[superstarr74]

damn her bow is all falling apart xD

[exigentrevolution]

lol that happens a lot. One of the horse hairs broke, and is hanging on for dear life. I do that a lot to my bow :/

Harmless though

[superstarr74]

Ahaha. It doesn't cost a lot to replace?

[exigentrevolution]

No...you don't have to replace it.

A few hairs is no big deal. But if this happens a lot over time, then yeah you'll have to either get a new one or get it restrung (50-90 bucks)

[KurtCobainLover9]

But it's so much fun watching it dance!

[Stevefriend13]

awesome...she is a total artist

[almightyjoey]

Melora Creager is just a... Goddess. she's amazing.

[Notawesomeatall7]

I like the different beat used. I wish they'd put it on a cd

[intentionalsound]

Coolest girl in the world award ^^

[gourmetbuffet]

I keep breaking bows on the bus. I can't afford it.

[XenoBoT]

That's neat, I remember being there, brilliant performance. They sure still haven't cleaned up all that heap of dirt in front of studio A.

[WuggiKate]

muy buena x)

[CONFIDENCENAVIGATOR]

Nada como Melora.

[sheepleoftheworld]

wow shes good

[Dancinwithfate]

Rasputina is amazing but her Bow is falling appart she needs a new one

[hbfarmer]

no, thats just what happens when you play really hard!

you just tend to loose hairs...

[broadwaymaniac92]

She actually breaks her bows frequently. In fact, she actually goes through a few a concert.

[dedauw]

Bows are hundreds of dollars...

She may break a few hairs, but breaking a bow is not something you'd do on a regular basis...

[broadwaymaniac92]

You'd be surprised...

[SiriusFan1]

When you play like that...yes, it's something you do on a regular basis!

[broadwaymaniac92]

I don't mean the bow itself... she breaks so many hairs that she has to use more than one during a concert and then she just keeps getting them restringed...

[Dancinwithfate]

thats better than changing the bow

[4008356]

She must have a lot of cello rosin. :\

[loserbrett]

lol There's just something about a female cellist... I likey.

Awesome remake, too!

[Notawesomeatall7]

I don't think that this is Transylvnia concubine

[InKa4484]

it is it's hard to hear but they are playing it to a different beat.

[Notawesomeatall7]

Oh I see. Thank you inKa4484. You were nice, most people would flood in with some ASSHOLE reaction. But thank you, you were sweet.

[InKa4484]

What i meant was you're dumb it is transylvanian concubine god learn your shit before you post dumbass comments - there how about that one. lol seriously i'm not sweet i just like people that take pride in their music i post ASSHOLE replies usually to people who post ASSHOLE comments.

[Notawesomeatall7]

I still think you're cool InKa4484.

[InKa4484]

NO, no you don't

[PeachFan]

seriously, Notawesomeatall7, don't you listen to the lyrics? after all, that's what Rasputina's about. The lyrics, way different than your mainstream crap.

[Notawesomeatall7]

Hmm...I suppose you are right. But the beat is important too.

[Notawesomeatall7]

Yes, yes I do

[danno700]

What an asshole comment. Asshole.

[InKa4484]

Grazie

[CNLSoma]

what the fuck?

[venerablenan]

wow her poor bow...

[PeachFan]

i bet she goes through those atleast two per week, lol.

[gulfcoastanthem]

Hardcore Cellist.

[rasputinafan]

Oh my gosh, is that what that is? I thought Melora tied a piece of string onto the bow to make it dance in the air while she played or something.

That's so hardcore though, lol

[CelenaJ]

A bow like that only lasts an hour and a half, at most.

LOve, Sel.

[PeachFan]

and unfortunatley that's about how long their recitals are.... =[

[Moonlitneko]

By the looks of that bow, it looks like they go through like, two a week. The hair is comming off so much from the hard playing. xD

[nightblooming1863]

They're the best \m/ Great to see live.

[moogle75]

I think they remixed it for the "Vampires" soundtrack.

[poisongirl981]

is this song from a soundtrack???

[insaneharrypotterfan]

i love this song \m/ (rock on sign)

[SarahSideEffect]

I got Thanks for the Ether when it came out like...man, must have been 10 years ago now and I FOUND IT when I was cleaning. I had a listen and remembered how much I like them. Thank you for posting this! I've yet to see them live but I'm pleased they are still around. I'll have to keep an eye out.

[monkeyorgorilla]

I love this song!

[M3LuffBam]

OMG I love rasputina, my cousin took me and her 14 neice to see them we meet the drumer and then we hugged him there AWSOME!!!!! My favorite song is my little shrit waist fire!!!!

[BrokenJunk]

*bows* i love these ladies

[elementindustrial]

awesome song. :) I love it! Wish I was there.

[thenerocomplex]

hitlah goes to the doctah he says 'doctah! how come everytime I give one of my impassioned speeches to the fathaland, I ejaculate?!' so, the doctah says, 'Hitlah! Dont change a thing--if you did not ejaculate everytime you gave one of your impassioned speeches to the fathaland, those same speeches would not come out quite so powerfully!'

[MouseGirl86362]

Lol

[MouseGirl86362]

Great.

[pergaperga]

I love this fucking song thank you for posting it.
