The Vienna Boys Choir-Nothing Else Matters(Metallica cover)

The Vienna Boys' Choir is one of the oldest boys' choirs existing in the world. For nearly five hundred years they have been a symbol of Austria. A founding document of Maximilian I in 1498 called the first dozen boys to the imperial court as members of the newly formed court music band. Thus he showed his great interest in contemporary musical developments in Burgundy and the Netherlands. Since then the Vienna Boys' Choir has been a fixed attraction in Austrian musical life.

Vienna Boys Goes Pop

Here for the first time in their 500 years of singing this world-famous boys choir sings covers of popular modern music. Fans of the group will find this recording a pleasant change with the high standards they exemplify the group very much evident.

Indeed this could have been done without the heavy drums and guitars, and possibly withou the soloist who, although very talente,d still sounds like American Idol pop stuff. Possessing the amazing wealth of 500 years of vocal tradition I would have gone for a purely choral version and show some harmonization work here. Just an opinion.

The boys would sound amazing singing along to Apocalyptica's (all cello, no drums) version of this song. Look it up.

i was wondering how inappropriate this would be. I know how Metallica sings about doom. Its a subject matter that sounds very inappropriate coming from angelic children s voices.
