Hmmm... Yngwie Malmsteen= rockified classical. Kronos= classicalified rock.

@AsianDomination911 agreed! We played this for our high school orchestra Pops Concert last year, we had more pop into it and had an electric guitar with it. Personally I think it sound amazing ^^'

No rock-band to my knowledge so far has reached such a deep undestanding of Hendrix's language. It's just sound, no useless pseudocultural paraphernalia.

Where did you last see it?

You have to see my cover of this song :D

Sorry, but violin doesnt mix well with guitar music. Theyre great, but this isnt meant for classical style.

I like it a lot. When I said geeks and string instruments someone asked what I meant. I'm old but not that old. It should be clear. There is nothing wrong with being a geek.  I cannot play an instrument and anyone who can't shouldn't be so negative. I couldn't do this performance. There still geeks but they're also great performers. Don't get discouraged. I still think it's cool.

If I went to see a live performance, and there were people in the audience saying aloud some of the things said in comments here, I would leave in disgust and demand a refund. Guys, shut the fuck up and listen to the music.
