No Jeph! Don't test my heartings! (Apocalyptica)
KharBevNor:
So, right, I own all Apocalyptica's major albums and have seen them live.
We have seen there are disagreers with Mr. Jacques on the jam bands isssue, who disagrees with our esteemed comic artiste on the issue of Apocalyptica not being absolutely bloody super-awesome?
Anyone else a fan of their original and classical material? 'Beyond Time', 'Path' (and Path 2) and 'The Hall of the Mountain King' always stick out for me in particular.
My goodness, Hall of the Mountain King live was so damn intense.
negative creep:
i really like apocalyptica.
Addius:
They got something they could build something with, definetly.
Their version of "The hall of the mountain king" was really good.. I've heard better but to challenge one of Edvard Griegs masterpieces is not something easily done.

I've only heard their Metallica cover album, and sad to say, but I have to agree with Jeph. The concept sounds a lot better than the execution. Now taking on more traditional cello fair they might be the bomb, but that would require more effort than I'm willing to expend to find out. :)

I love these guys so much. I just find the entire concept to be genius, and thus I can forgive them thier flaws. The main flaw being that, except for a key exceptional songs, their rather mediocre(**forgive my spelling if that's wrong).
The idea *I* get when I think of these guys, is a bunch of Fins sitting in a room in the middle of a Finnish winter, and then one says, "Ya know what'd be cool.... Playing some metal on our cellos" and thus was born Apocolyptica.
I have no idea if this story has any basis in reality, and I can't check *right* now, but I'm pretty sure they are Finnish.
