I couldn't have thought that cellos can sound that aggressive, even when playing that kind of music

James' solo sounds beautiful like this. I mean wow.

The Beautiful misunderstood message of Metal with the pure divine sound of classical makes for one epic performance

best band ever covered metallica !!! apocalyptica is every the best !!!

I'm a huge fan of all types of music like Yonder Mountain String Band and I had no idea that They could be this diverse. true artist in my book!!!!! brought it to the next level for sure!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏

Ever wonder if their hair ever gets stuck in the strings of their instruments?

My 14 year old son introduced me to this amazing band on KZfaq. Now I can't get enough! Outstanding!!

I love it when people come along and play "classical" instruments to "modern" songs. It just more firmly cements my belief that people played the instruments of the past like these guys do. Sure not all the time and it was obviously not mainstreamed, but you cant tell me that it never was done when these instruments where first around.

this song was made for cellos

What the ...? I love love love! THhs is sooo stunning!!

I love the sound of Cellos, they sound amazing and the way they play is... omfg, where have I been?... Gods their awesome.

You know...I still can't get over the fact that they are punks playing the cello...thats so freaking awesome it blows my mind. And makes me laugh at the same time....Oh how amazing all the people in the world are.

Simphony + Metal = Apocalyptica. This is awesome! I Love this.

I have the only words: GENIOUS!!!!

Apolcalyptica was my first contact with metallica, and heavy musics. Thanks for geting me in this world, thanks for giving me such a hard work with my cello.

I always wondered what a melodic can of whoop-ass would sound like... These guys are UN-Fn-Believable.

Just great

nose por que me sube el ánimo me encanta está música me encanta el grupo es genial aunque digan que estoy loca por escuchar está música

no one else could accomplish such epicness with cello's

Music at its finest, they're not trying to remake anything They love this music, they're just putting a different taste to it because they appreciate it so much.

Can i be the first to say that HOLY FUCK they play this fast!!

The mid riff makes me cry :(

In my opinion, this really shows how much metal and classical music have in common, when it comes to the structure of the music.

the classics never go out of style base violin so beautiful

1:42 James Hetfield ? hahaha!!

They do look like Voldemort followers however, I find extremely restricted those people who are unable to listen to something else than what they are used to. It asks for a lot of talent and a great vision to make metal meet classical music. When you are really passionate, you realize that those two worlds are not far apart and that you can find a certain violence and urgency in metal and classical alike. But of course, this is way too complicated for people with basic taste and low culture to understand.

This sounds amazing. Done amazingly

this is the first time I've heard them and i love it!!!!! Got to listen to more.

¿Metallica?

Can't help but smile. This is awesome.

heavy metal is music at its fullest potential and a true art form, Apocolyptica confirms this through classical versions of Metallica songs, people who say metal is a distorted form of art cant make that argument after listening to these guys, beautiful music

Apocalyptica- Showing that instruments from hundreds of years of great music can make modern day music sound just like if they came out 300 years ago.

These guys are incredible !

The "Obey your master, MASTER!" part sounds awesome on cello.

lol loved the ending of the slideshow XD amazing song, amazing band and its the first time i listened to the apocalyptica version :P its freakin awesome

I've just discovered them ,and was wondering the same ,so glad i stopped by and read down a few comments and saw your question and then an answer,gunna have to spend a bit of time on here now to hear more ..

This RULES!! They should continue to make Cello music as long as they live.

This is so great for learning the songs since all the notes are much clearer without distortion.

just saw them live on sunday they are AMAZING!! i LOVE Perttu!

love this. amazing. they have some pure talent.

these guys were amazing in concert, freaking playing on their shoulders behind their bakcs wa freaking fantastic

i love these guys!

Imposible dejar de escuchar esta version de una de mis canciones favoritas....y le suben el nivel cuando es Apocalyptica....lml .... lml

Metal ... Divine... pure ... awesome !

THEY ARE SO AMAZING- IN BOTH TALENT AND LOOKS :D

DUDE! MAGIC, PURE MAGIC!!

Beautifully done. 2 good 4 words.

Wow...that was beautiful

Purely epic. I love it!!!!!!

I'd never thought I would headbang to cello's until I heard these guys, never...

This is a real piece of art!

This is good video ,excellent music!!!!!!

This is jst AMAIZING! Apocalyptica♥

oh. my. god. this is AMAZING!!!

This is art!

Magical.

these guys are sick!!!! freakin rock.

no words to describe it.....WOW

Best cover I've heard

I wonder how many people realize that when there are dislikes on a video like this it's probably people disliking the visuals or audio quality, not the song itself. They clearly wouldn't be watching the video if they didn't like the song.

Nossa, além de serem ótimos músicos. São lindos, muito bonitos!😍😍

Completely ! Awesome !

So epic. Makes me remember good old Metallica days, 90's. This version is much more sentimental than the original one.

This is so good that i´m almost crying....

the solo is simply beautyfull

it be killer if mattalica jammed with them hatfield and the boys should be proud to hear there creation being so versatile

Amazing!!!!

omg the breakdown *_*... beyond eargasmic

i dont even like metalica but i am in love with Apocalypticas covers of thier songs. they are just... amazing. i cant even discribe it. :)

@GothChibi999 Me too! :) What an incredible show.. Definitely going to see them again!! I didn't want them to ever stop!!

My orchestra teacher may very well be my new best friend. This is way too awesome.

this is great! :D

Someday I'm going to try to play my cello while standing up, walking around, and head banging. Talk about coordination o.O

LOVE IT

If classical music and heavy metal had a child, Apocalyptica would be its name.

BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO CELLO'S SINCE YO-YO-MA PICKED ONE UP AND KICKED THE WORLD'S ASS WITH HIS EPIC PERFORMANCES !!!

Badass...FOREVER!!! Even Dean Winchester couldn't hate this....

MASTERPIECE!!!!
