I cannot decide whether this is wonderful or sacrilege against Verdi's memory.

[TRADEMARK1313]

Just Perfect.

@grossoerectus Te digo lo mismo... Cuando Verdi vivía, no existían estos instrumentos, imaginate si Bach, Beethoven, Tellemann, Mozart, Haendel, Vivaldi, Sibelius, Dvorak o cualquiera de los grandes compositores de todos los tiempos los hubieran conocido, que hubieran hecho? Hubieran dicho: "Wakalaaaaaa". O hubieran dicho: "Ajalas, a ver, vamos a componer algo... Que crees que diría Giuseppe Verdi y escuchara esto? Imagínate que eres el antes de contestar.

@JesusBatis That is definitely the conclusion I came to. Except this is funny, because honestly, is is just as metal without the rock band added in.

[JesusBatis]

@Unholycrimsonshoes It´s Wonderful!!! Think about the great Masters of music like Vivaldi, Telemann, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Verdi, Faure, Brahms. Would they like this sounds they never knew? I think they do, they would compose music for this instruments!

Better song imo.

[GuidoPerdomo]

if instruments back then were the ones we have know, i think this is how classical music would've been.

[blutsklave]

you'll never know what would Verdi do if he had distorted guitars and a drum kit back then.

[grossoerectus]

me gusta epica pero si dicen que esto es bueno son idiotas es un insulto a verdi esta es mi obra favorita de verdi y la verdad da asco cuando ellos la tocan no por defender a epica boy a decir que es vueno el insulto que le isieron a verdi

de.grosoerectus admirador de epica

y cantante de opera

[lateralex90]

es el problema d emuchisimas bandas asi...no saben a que meterle mas,si a la orquesta o a el sonido de guitarras electricas...a mi me gusta el gènero, pero la verdad si se pierde mucho la hermosura de la orquesta

[Qabcdefghijklmnop]

putting classical epics with heavy metal, is proberly the best genre in the world
