Apocalyptica - Hall of the Mountain King (Rock In Rio 2008)

One of their most played live songs.
It's a cover of the famous Edvard Grieg's classical piece.

Portugal, Lisboa, Rock In Rio 2008 (June 5th).

It's a pro-shot... Enjoy.

[biggen60]

@patrahilevlampiev ok

[Sharky2290]

@patrahilevlampiev Dont be hating because you cant play as good as them Yo Yo Ma is not the best cellist around shure he released some music but that doesn't mean hes that good listen closely and you'll hear he makes mistakes just like every1 else your stereotyping is useless go learn a bit more about the band before you judge something that is beyond your comprehension so you can only hate it for not being able to reach that which is unreachable for you trololol

4:20 death metal played by cellos :P

Apocalyptica rules \m/

@patrahilevlampiev Perttu Kivilaakso already had a job in the Helsinki Phil before joining the band, not to mention winning third prize at the '96 Paulo Cello Competition. He could definitely have pursued a successful career as a classical cellist. The Grieg has already gone through numerous arrangements, so why not a metal version on cellos? I'm not saying every Apocalyptica number is a masterpiece, but they certainly have been innovators. I'm sure they don't see their own music as "high art".

o publico não mereceu

EPIC!!!

[patrahilevlampiev]

@ashestoyoursoul Oh, of course! We have here three coppies of Yo Yo Ma, playing....aaaa...this - some sweaty, pseudomusical, "art" piece, which is in addition а cruel mockery with Grieg. Do you understand that it doesn't make any sense at all? And about the research...it happened like that: for many years they were trying to become real classical musians, but it didn't work out, so they created a mediocre heavy metal band to be able to earn so money for food, alcohol and drugs.

@patrahilevlampiev they've been playing their cellos for years and they are all classically trained. they are just as much real musicians as anyone else. research before you comment

So Ive totally played this song in my high school band and hearing this totally gave me the chills.... Once again I comment on the passion driven into the music.
