Jaysus.


I am sure, Kurt Cobain would be... Stoked. And Psyched. At the same time.
Seriously though lads. There is no need for that.

I initially thought the first 'pluckings' were way too high pitched and was thinking AGH!!!... then I found out it was so they could get the chorus violins in... :lol:

Must've taken some putting together. :D

[Warthog]

Hmmmm, I have heard some better uses of an orchestra...

[mudge32]

Want orchestrated stuff try this lot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijDUluXxPag) :wink: :smt035

[Warthog]

Much better!

My favourite use in metal is the 42-piece philharmonic orchestra in this:

Its extremely powerful and well used I think!

EDIT: Just thought, it might have half a shadowy breast somewhere in it so is not technically U-rated, hope its ok.

[Ed]

Don't need all that.

Just take a listen to 'Now Before the Sacred Ray' from Haydn's Creation. And turn the volume UP.

Stirring stuff :thumbsup:

[Warthog]

I know that Haydn isn't very "Youtube" orientated, but is there any link for a sample of that, I'd be interested to try it out?

Try the 1812 overture on full volume. Tchaikovski (not so clever with my russian spelling! :lol: ) was a metal head!!! :lol:

Also ELO did orchestral stuff years ago!

I once saw Cozy Powell drum solo to the 1812 overture. Complete with flamethrowers and explosions.

Erm...yeah...okay...well, thats not really orchestral at all...just some maniacs manhandling some instruments...I think you sort of missed the point of the post :shock:

They should keep that quiet and not promote it, Courtney will want money y'know.

Brilliant! Love it!

I was just listening to Metallica's S&M... Now that's how you do it. -Human's probably the heaviest thing Metallica have touched for years, but my dad loves it for the orchestral work. Genius.

I know nothing about proper orchestral music, though, wish I did but where do you start? The big horns just sound magic, loud but soft, so much depth. I can take or leave violins, nasty screechy things, but the percussion and brass, and the bigger strings and woodwind, I love. The richness of the sound and the sheer dynamics of it knocks me out... Any ideas what I should go and find?

Classic FM ?

:( About the only instrument I can play :lol:

Don't you even like the theme to Schindler's List? Or how about the Ashokan Farewell, played by the band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines, Plymouth - it's yet more stirring stuff. Not militaristic, just a joy to the ear.

[Razor]

Violins, best ignore Vanessa Mae then...

The Lord Of The Rings trilogy OST. Superb orchestral work. With some elder nasty screechy things about - the Rohan theme.

What about Velvet Underground › Venus In Furs then?
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

You know you love it.
