Funny thing about this particular video. One day, about 7 and a half years ago, my dad showed this song to me and my brother as an example that one doesn't need guitars and drums to play metal music. Ironically, I discovered Metallica through it, and that is actually the story of how I started to play the guitar. So without this video, I wouldn't have been where I am today as a guitar player. 7 years of intense playing, new discoveries, diving deeper into music, and having been just recently admitted to a music school to study composition. All of that comes from the moment I have first been here.
Holy shit, they even headbang and windmill while riffing on their cellos! If that's not awesome and 20% cooler than any other quartet, I don't know what is.
Hace unos once o doce años, mi novia (ahora esposa), otros dos compañeros y yo intentamos tocar esta pieza con cuatro violonchelos que teníamos en la Orquesta sinfónica de la preparatoria; a mí me asignaron la parte de Eicca. Al final de la pieza acabé tan cansado que ya no quise tocar el chelo en dos días, sin contar que me decepcioné porque ni por asomo sonó tan genial como Apocalyptica.
I remember finding these guys when I was in middle school. They were considered pretty niche back then. I am glad the world did eventually end up seeing how awesome they are. I was lucky enough to see them in concert back in like 2011. I guess I still love listening to them because it reminds me of better, or at least easier times. Long may they reign.
Don't get me wrong, I love Metallica's version of this; it has its own emotion; but Apocalyptica sets a whole rhythm of feelings when I hear them. Both versions are beautiful and legendary!
The Cello is a great instrument, also for playing metal. The clear, dark sound of maple wood underlined by the naturally generated saw-tooth waves which actually add something scratchy and diabolic ... The practical thing is that the Cello can easily reach a tone range of approx. 5 octaves. And no matter how deep the melody you play is, it always sounds marvellous. (Violin, or Viola, for instance, are much harder to control. I personally think that Viola is the Champion's league of all strings.) (I may be talking too much, but I've fallen in love.)
One and Fade to Black were meant to be played with Cellos like these artists do. Totally Amazing and superb. None of us knows how James' reaction was when he first heard this version for the first time. I imagine he and the others were blown away and shell-shocked.
Actually Metallica had heard Apo's first album when it came out and took them as a supporting act in Poor Touring Me tour for some shows in Europe IIRC.
Rueyful yep, that is when I drive to and from school and to and from my home to another place like a friends. other than that i actually don't listen to it too often
i listened to this back in 08 back in middle school, i showed my friend and like 20 minutes in he goes " theres no words." I just looked at him and say "dude, thats the best part." *facepalm*
Incredible. get chills and amped simultaneously every time i hear it. huge metal and classical fan. and this is the best of both worlds. they also do a crazy version of "hall of the mountain king"
4:29... AAAUCH! I tried to do it with an imaginary cello and my arm ached at the 20st second of process! I don't even want to imagine what it'll be like with a real cello...
I so love the cello, the range/capacity is just amazing...a beautiful (sounding) instrument. It's on my bucket list to learn how to play it! Thank you for sharing...Peace!
I will bet you every penny I have these guys were THE BEST kids in orchestra class. I bet they ate that shit up, outperformed everyone and looked like geeks.
This is how I imagine old music sounding, perhaps not ancient but medieval when harps/strings were really being introduced in a meaingful manner. So beautiful.
They didn't get to where they are without some serious practice. I would know, I'm in the orchestra at my high school and our conductors expect nothing less than perfection when we come to class. And its payed off. We performed at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago this past December and we were invited to next year's NAFTA conference in Kentucky. Obviously, there is talent involved with Apocalyptica's individual players, but the key to doing anything well is practice, practice, practice!!!
realised how old i get when i read that Apocalyptica come to Belgium to celebrate their 20years of the Metallica by 4cellos album, bought it 19years ago when i was 11 :-) one of the first metal albums i bought! :-) Apocalyptica and After Forever made me a fan of Symphonic Metal
I remember when I first discovered this and it had only a couple thousand views. Man those were the days when I felt awesome because I discovered them before allot of people I knew heard about them. I will always love and come back to this song and video for many more years to come.
magnifique j'adore ce concert melange de sensibilité et d'état guerrier des doigt d'une finesse et longueur inoubliable ! vous me mettait dans tous mes etats depuis toujours trop fort
I've never played a string instrument in my life so I have no appreciation for how difficult it must be to perform this piece but these guys/gals? sure make it look easy...and it sounds awesome.

+Greg Jonson beautiful!
Love your story 🤗
i like your story better than mine i started because i was good at guitar hero :/ in 2005
+Greg Jonson Great!!! ,,,,,,,,,, proud of you!!! Keep going far and beyond!!!
Can we get a link to some of yhe songs you played? :D
Remember getting into this band years ago when I was first stumbling into extreme metal. Really made me appreciate classical music more
+Louis Addeo-Weiss I love classical, and this band made me appreciate metal. Crazy how nature do dat
+Louis Addeo-Weiss they have a lot in common, even the fans are alike. i love both metal and classical. it's awesome!
@@maxsiehier then there's Symphonic Metal...*swoon* 🤘🏻
Aa
Aa
Holy shit, they even headbang and windmill while riffing on their cellos! If that's not awesome and 20% cooler than any other quartet, I don't know what is.
20...... percent...... Oh you!
Yep, all the time 🤟🏾🎶💚
Los dioses de los cellos, los rebeldes de la música clásica... no sé de que otra forma describir a este maravillosa banda.
Son... simplemente perfectos 🙈😭😍
+2x2leax tienes razon, ellos fusionaron generos, y se volvieron dioses.
los dioses de los cellos jajajajajajajajaja, están muy lejos de serlo
los polakos tak samo myśli.Myśle diego że podobało sie?ke

It's 2024 and this song still stands above all the others for you have more and more to compare with.❤

Yes I agree for sure
Agreed. There's a poignancy to this that Metallica's just doesn't have.
I understand completely. The first time I saw them play it live I sat there and just cried. It hit me in a way Metallica's never did.
The Cello is a great instrument, also for playing metal. The clear, dark sound of maple wood underlined by the naturally generated saw-tooth waves which actually add something scratchy and diabolic ...

ich liebe es!!!!!!!!
+Monika Hischer-Buhrmester Spielst du zufällig selbst Cello?
I love Cello too, agree with you.
Lisa Schuster I play violin and yes is more harder than cello
I want to learn cello one day and maybe piano, but I currently play viola :)
I love the raw emotion of apocalyptica.
Tls

James has songs with them, there are YT clips of Met and Apoc together , just have to find them, that's the hard bit hehe..
Aarón Torrealba They gained PTSD from listening to it?
Actually Metallica had heard Apo's first album when it came out and took them as a supporting act in Poor Touring Me tour for some shows in Europe IIRC.
That man can make the solo sound better on cello than I can on guitar...respect
When you're playing metal, but still staying classy af
This song tells such an amazing story without any lyrics. Truly beautiful.
For sure 💚🎶
I remember my father bought me this full concert DVD,thank you father.oo
I wish I had a father like that :(
+Izayoi Higurashi ;)
Roxa
First time I've watched them, totally captures the emotion of the Metallica song, gives me the feels :) xx
First saw them at Sweden Rock. They blew me away and their intensity reduced me to tears. Fukin awesome xx
Just saw them in Sacramento . They put on a good show .
The time back when there actually was real music on TV. Viva II after 8 pm was the greatest hour on TV at the time.
This is just insanely talented. Apocalyptica can do anything and everything!
Exceptional...
Best concert I have ever been to!!! was in USA Mobile,Al. and would love to see these guys again!
one of my favorite songs to listen to.
i always listen to this
always?
Rueyful yep, that is when I drive to and from school and to and from my home to another place like a friends. other than that i actually don't listen to it too often
This band is so metal it uses Cellos instead of electric gitars, basses and drums
Oh Dios, por favor, después
Ya en el útero es demasiado real
En bombas de la vida que debo sentir..
misarkangel14 *De regreso en el útero es demasiado real
Bombea la vida que debo sentir
como se llama la primera que toca ?
this was the very video that made me fascinated with this band. and it inspired me to play cello for a bit and cover their songs
It's never been old. ♡
Still listening to this version of One in 2020
Such a perfect cover🎶🎶🖤💀🎧
I’d been playing the cello for 8 years and I never knew you could do this, absolutely amazing
Brilliant piece. :)
la mejor interpretacion de one q he oido he visto son inigualables
Metallica and Apocalyptica :')
Metallyptica?
xD
Un-freaking Real... I could head bang to that every morning before work. EXCELLENT
i listened to this back in 08 back in middle school, i showed my friend and like 20 minutes in he goes " theres no words." I just looked at him and say "dude, thats the best part." *facepalm*
Some people. Shit -- the Majority of people just cant appreciate this fucking awesomeness. It is their loss.
This song is only five minutes
hahaha I actually didn't think it would sound cool xD this is amazing
Amo a Apocalyptica tanto como a Metallica*-*
This is f*cking incredible, it is haunting, its like the Gods or the devil came inside them while playing it, especially the second half.
THIS IS SO AMAZING I FEEL LIKE CRYING
greatest f#cking thing in the history of music!!!
Esto si es arte, grande apocalyptica /,,/
They are really expressing their selves And we can notice that in the way they play !!
lmao my teacher said only "Classical" is her class ok well c what she says now
A union of classical and metal music. It makes me want to punch a kitten in the face, then apologize afterwards.
simplemente hermoso
Incredible. get chills and amped simultaneously every time i hear it. huge metal and classical fan. and this is the best of both worlds. they also do a crazy version of "hall of the mountain king"
I can't remember anything, can't tell if this is true or dream..♫
Deep down inside I feel to scream, this terrible silence stops me
+Hooded Assassin Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
+Petar Krstic
Hold my breath as I wish for death,
Oh please god wake meeeeee.
4:29...
AAAUCH! I tried to do it with an imaginary cello and my arm ached at the 20st second of process! I don't even want to imagine what it'll be like with a real cello...
If you have proper posture with a real cello it doesn't hurt much. You also get more stamina over time.
ace c I'm right in the phase of deciding what cello I should get. Could you help me?
+Jonatan Carmi eastman
Epic, isn't it ?
I so love the cello, the range/capacity is just amazing...a beautiful (sounding) instrument. It's on my bucket list to learn how to play it! Thank you for sharing...Peace!

Magister vulpes Looks like not enough hahaha
Jack Wally Very true. Hehehe.
i love apocalíptica
I will bet you every penny I have these guys were THE BEST kids in orchestra class. I bet they ate that shit up, outperformed everyone and looked like geeks.
Metallica su corde...
Favolosi....
WHEN APOCALYPTICA WERE APOCALYPTICA.......---
NOW IS APOP-CALYPTICA
they still rocks.. about to watch them on 2019
cello +metal= yo feliz
Going to see them next week Wednesday in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Can't wait!
I normally don't like band's without vocalist's but these guys are amazing!
Wow! Never heard of these guys till now and only because I heard about 2CELLOS. Unreal!
This is how I imagine old music sounding, perhaps not ancient but medieval when harps/strings were really being introduced in a meaingful manner. So beautiful.
They didn't get to where they are without some serious practice. I would know, I'm in the orchestra at my high school and our conductors expect nothing less than perfection when we come to class.

I remember when I first discovered this and it had only a couple thousand views. Man those were the days when I felt awesome because I discovered them before allot of people I knew heard about them. I will always love and come back to this song and video for many more years to come.
congratulations?
I remember the first time I watched this like 12 years ago and said: “cool, but he’s not going yo play the sol... oooh...”
magnifique j'adore ce concert melange de sensibilité et d'état guerrier des doigt d'une finesse et longueur inoubliable ! vous me mettait dans tous mes etats depuis toujours trop fort
trop bon vraiment trop bon jamais ne men lasse
Goosebumps.... so many, so often, never reached.....
I've never played a string instrument in my life so I have no appreciation for how difficult it must be to perform this piece but these guys/gals? sure make it look easy...and it sounds awesome.
Most beautiful work I have ever heard!
I never tire of listening to their music.
My favorite song, my favorite instrument. BEAUTIFULLY SICK
THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME! Loved their synchornized headbanging when the "distortion" was supposed to kick in! XD
more than 10 years being fan of this
Tomorrow night I see them in Chicago. Been waiting for years to see them live!!!
I get the effin' chills. Thanks f'r postin'!
Amazing, beautiful, wonderful..... My words are so week for this song :-)
You have to admit it's kinda funny when they are shaking their heads when they play but still epic
one of those rare moments when true talent meets true passion....let's play it again :)
That was awesome and really cool what they can do on a cello
This is the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed
Such a beautiful song, 18 years, so good
piece of art to my ears and soul
