jesus christ, this is the awesomest thing ever.

apacoliptica

WOW! Who says an orchestra doesn’t have fun. This was a blast.

One word….AMAZING!

It’s not often (or ever) that you get to see three Cello players thrashing heads like a speed metal band!

I’m not very impressed. They are good but it’s just “different” for they instrument style, nothing ground breaking in technique or execution…and a crappy 80s song to boot!

Other then some young dudes trashing their hang and trying to do justice to a silly pop song, I seen nothing worth watching here.

Make not how dorky they look at times and the adult contemporary musicians in the back snickering at their antics at times!

I disagree with you Shawn, Final Countdown is a great song and this is a unique take on it.

i loved it because it reminded me of GOB from arrested development

As much as I wanted to think was awesome (being a big arrested development fan, and professional musician), Shawn is right, it’s just not very impressive. Moderately funny, maybe, but not really anything special. Their solo sections were not bad, but not in time with the rest of the orchestra.

loved the guy’s facials.

If anyone wants to hear more metal cello check out Apocolyptica

QFT

For the search engine users among us, it’s “Apocalyptica”, although the misspelling “Apocolyptica” will be recognized as such by most search engines.
I’m afraid “apacoliptica” is a little too far off to work, though.

That’s not live

if you liked this, also check out “Vitamin String Quartet” - they do tons of string covers.

Some of you guys hate on this way too much. I thought it was pretty damn good. Not mind blowing by any means, but not total trash either. I watched it all the way to the end and was entertained, what more can you ask for???

omg!!! wtf?!?!?!
headbanging w/ a cello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
