These two guys just finally managed to prove what dozens of concert artists and classical musicians like me have been dying to say for years! That there is nothing closer than classical music (baroque in particular) and rock music! \o/
Dude, absolute FACTS! I've always loved both, and no one understands how I can love two extremes - but they are so goddamn similar!!!! The complexity, the expression of raw emotion and power or hurt and beauty... NOTHING like them.
What about Apocalyptica that has been around since the 2000s playing Metallica songs? And yes, metal is the beautiful classical music, with electricity
It's highly unlikely they would have exploded. You're viewing this through a 21st century lens/mindset. In the 1700s they would have reacted exactly how it was portrayed in the video: dead silence. It was a period of strict rules and protocol. They'd not know how to process it nor want to break ranks. Scandalous!
Nah, it would have been scandalous and there is nothing the elite liked better than flirting with something a little scandalous on the down low... Those 2 would have had female patrons coming out of the woodwork.
Uh...do you have any idea what makes a piece of music classical or not? Yeah, Beethoven was a musical revolutionary. So were the Beatles. That doesn't make the Beatles classical. Simply being a musical rebel is not what makes Beethoven classical.
@@76JStucki Then define it for us genius, what defines "classical" ? Because very many people would indeed describe The Beatles as Classic, even Classical music, they are the foundation upon which every rock and metal song stands, but nothing sounds like them anymore, that's Classic.

Beethoven & Mozart alike were considered "musical rebels" during the Classical Music Period (1730-1820). Mozart was even once criticized for his music having "Too many notes".
A lesser man would say they have been... thunderstruck by their performance. PS: A moment of silence for all the strings they've butchered in their quest for glory. (But damn, they rock!)
BTW, the broken bow "'strings" are horsehair from the tails of the horses. What they're doing is incredibly rough on their bows, no surprise there... They probably have to get them redone an awful lot.
@@SpookiCooki the strings were made from cat gut. The bows have always been made from horsehair a far as I know. Maybe there's some synthetic man made fiber that can work, but I don't know that for sure one way or another.
With the way they play, I like to imagine that, no matter what they're wearing, their clothes are constantly lined with as many spare bows as they can fit.
As someone who used to be in Orchestra, 'shredding' only happens with truly intense performances. But when you see the shredded hair it's a strangely good feeling to know you're playing so intensely.
Angus Young does that move at concerts. Lays down and spins himself in a circle whilst never missing a not on his guitar. I was impressed to see the cello player imitate the move. Very well done.
Dont forget, According to Angus when asked if he thought he was the best guitar player in the world, He isnt even the best guitar player in his family.
Best comment on the original video was: "I guess you guys aren't ready for this yet, but your great great great great great grandkids are gonna love it."
JustAnotherMuggle Everybody from Croatia will always say, that they are proud of them, and therefor be proud to be croatian. Just think of Nikola Tesla, Rimac automobili and this wonderful nature the lord put us in! So, may I say it, I‘m also proud to be croatian ;)
@@kuplung22Serbian blooded, with his birth and parents birth all coming on Croatian land. So kind of like saying someone is Hawaiian rather than calling them American maybe.
I adore female fronted bands, in fact I actually prefer them. I've been picking up on new femalefronted bands from other commenters leaving tips, or replying to me with tips. So, I'll leave a couple with you, Eva Under Fire, Skarlett Riot, and Ledger (Skillet's drummer's solo project) I DID get a reply from one of the people I left a tip with, and he replied with positive feedback on Eva Under Fire. Check them out if you're into female fronted bands, I will be most certainly be looking at YOUR tip also. :D 😅
Honestly, in my opinion, one of the best 2 Cellos songs to react to is their cover of Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper'.... absolute classic song covered by string instruments, what more do you need.......
These guys are amazing. I was waiting at the end for the kid in the audience to stand up and yell hell yeah or something at the end. Still blown away at this performance, after seeing it the first time several years ago. Brilliant!
I freaking love 2CELLOS! i hadnt listened to them in like 2 years until couple weeks ago when i got recommended some Pirates of the Caribbean song cover thet made which was freaking awesome and it made me so happy to see that they are still popular and succesful.
I've been a fan of 2Cellos ever since they were only doing street performances around Europe. They are unbelievably talented, and have taught several generations of music lovers that classical music is fantastic!
They do a live version of AC/DC’s “Shook Me All Night Long” that is absolutely awesome! They sound great live in case anyone thought they were just a studio act.
in 1980 when 1st started listening to AC/DC, if you told me they would go on to be the global phenomenon they have become, covered by musicians of virtually every Genre...I would have told you, "you're nuts".....RIP Bon, Malcolm...LONG LIVE AC/DC
If you like this, you need to check Apocalyptica the Cello Metal creators, they been around for 20 years and you should check the Nothing else matters cover.
Ive seen these guys in concert and they are beyond amazing! The one of the left literally took his cello and ran up and down stairs with it while playing a song it was incredible! Smile on my face the whole time! Love that you’re reacting to them!
When my friend sent me the 2 cellos cover I told him I didn't want to hear a classical rendition of a rock song because I find hem to be rather shit majority of the time *And then I watched the fucking video, best unexpected metal ever*
I love 2cellos. Amazing. I love the set up I love that the audience and the two performers were dressed in century old clothing I loved how they showed the people walking in to see them I love that they suck this up to be this really cool classical piece and then rocked it out it was amazing.
Fun Fact: Elton John, himself, found out about these guys, and they've been a part of his tour.
And Elton provided the vocals for their version of the Fleetwood Mac song Oh Well on the In2ition album.
Dope
Another fun fact: Elton John called them and said hello I am Elton John and Luca said yes, I am Michael Jackson and disconnected. It is actually true.
Another fun fact: At some moment, you will need three cellos to play all the lines, not two.
@@adwitiyadixit Didn't’ Michael Jackson call someone to collaborate or something and they hung up on him thinking it was a joke? Can’t remember who it was.
Classmate: "Dude, Cello? Come on, man. You'll never be cool playing that."
These guys: "Hold my bow."
When your parents want you to play a classical instrument, but you wanna be a rock star.
You mean Bows XD they probably need multiple of them each concert
I don't think I've ever seen 2Cellos do anything that WASN'T amazing.

Facts
No print, all fax
Yea tho u cant even play the cello

Imagine this actually happening in like 1700s. People minds would have exploded. Or they would have been accused of witch craft
Even now I feel like it was witch craft lol

Obviously. They said paganini sold his soul just because he was amazing and kinda bad looking (idk) so these guys probably would have been hanged
Both.
Nah, it would have been scandalous and there is nothing the elite liked better than flirting with something a little scandalous on the down low... Those 2 would have had female patrons coming out of the woodwork.
So who wants to tell him about apocalyptica? And that corey Taylor is in one of their songs?
Apocalyptica "Hope Vol.2".
Thanks, came to the comments to say the same.
I sent him Path but no-one liked it.
I'm not Jesus
@@Dawnspell8 Really? IMO Path ain't their best by a long shot, but very fitting in terms of wildness on the strings as recommendation for this guy ^^
Beethoven was something of a musical rebel at the time he was alive.
So this wouldn't be too far off from what's concidered classical music.
I like to imagine him getting the fuck down to this
Uh...do you have any idea what makes a piece of music classical or not? Yeah, Beethoven was a musical revolutionary. So were the Beatles. That doesn't make the Beatles classical. Simply being a musical rebel is not what makes Beethoven classical.

I'd bet they singlehandedly support at least 50% of bow string fabricants. At LEAST!
I read somewhere that they need new bows after every performance.
At least they don't use the really old fashioned type of bow. They're made of cat guts. Imagine how many cats would be killed.
@@SpookiCooki the strings were made from cat gut. The bows have always been made from horsehair a far as I know. Maybe there's some synthetic man made fiber that can work, but I don't know that for sure one way or another.

The guy on the right is truly "shredding". He's shredding the hair on his bow.
That's common on bows
A new hailing’s for a bow is about $100.
As someone who used to be in Orchestra, 'shredding' only happens with truly intense performances. But when you see the shredded hair it's a strangely good feeling to know you're playing so intensely.
That's normal for him. He's very intense when he plays.
Some poor horse sacrificed his hair and this is his it's being repayed

Ooooh you want more cellos? But matched with awesome vocals? "Not Strong Enough" by Apocalyptica featuring Brent Smith (lead singer of Shinedown)
I just posted the same thing but added the song names. Have you watched them with other bands???
I love that song ❤️
Classical music is just metal before electricity
You've got to watch their cover of Highway to Hell they did with Steve Vai
So good!
I would say baroque more than classical but I get what you mean
Case in point - Richie Blackmoor has admitted that the famous Deep Purple riff from Smoke on the Water is Beethoven's 5th played backwards.
I love how like a minute in you can't even hear him talking over the music lmao
Yes, I noticed that too. ^.^
I saw 2Cellos live a couple of years ago. They were AMAZING!
Steve N Seagulls- thunderstruck. They have a good cover
Great cover.
Best cover
The only cover
The contrast is Epic! SnS & Cellos.
Yesssss
2 Cellos - Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson cover) next!
Yes! This is the first 2 Cellos song I heard and it's super nuts!
Yes!!
I’d add Welcome to the Jungle and Smells like Teen Spirit to the list!
Now for fun go t to 2set violin
Love how the bows get progressively torn to shreds over the course of the performance.
Best comment on the original video was:
"I guess you guys aren't ready for this yet, but your great great great great great grandkids are gonna love it."

have seen them Live: 10/10
would headbang again
Are they Emil and Dariel from AGT like 6 years ago or so?
They are amazing. I’ve seen them live and it’s crazy how they make 2 instruments sound like so much more.

Classical music is the metal of the XIV centuries...
A lot of power, some of them really dark!
Is awesome
I've seen them in concert and they are seriously amazing. I love them!

LOVE that piece, and love to introduce it to people who have never seen it!!! AWESOME!!!
The thing is, you know perfectly well there were people back then playing like this. There's always been people pushing the boundaries of their art.
iiiiii really dont think so...Mozart and Beethoven were considered Rebels that pushed the boundaries of their art...nothing like this
Apocalyptica! They have cellos too! Specifically, their turn on "Nothing else matters", to name another classic piece :)
Try Apocalyptica album "plays Metallica by four Cellos " and I'm not Jesus ft. Corey Taylor
I have seen them play Metallica a few months ago, that shit is awesome!
Yesss..I wanted to recommend them too. They're awesome!
I can watch this all day long. They've done a lot of amazing covers.
Great reaction, super skilled duo and an unforgettable track. Also, thanks for introducing me to these guys. Rock on, man!

This was one of the coolest things I've ever heard, glad you gave it a listen
Please react to apocalyptica! Check out a classic “hall of the mountain king” by them
YESSSSS!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Wow 2Cellos bravo za izbor pozdrav iz Srbije😍🙌
I absolutely love that transition from the classical piece into the thunderstruck intro, its so smooth. They are such a talented pair of players.
At the end of the video:
"Oh I see your not ready for this. But your kids will love it! "
I play the cello and guitar and holy fuck a cello with distortion sounds like a mini gun playing music
please react to "carnival of rust" poets of the fall
Kiarash Mirmansouri great song
better yet their latest False Kings
Yes any POTF song !!
One of the best bands no one's ever heard of!
Every time I see these guys, I expect the cellos to spontaneously combust. Great musicians, great showmanship.
I love 2 Cellos. They are so talented and crazy!!!
Me: How many bows can you shred?!
*STARTS BANGING BOW AGAINST CELLO*
Also Me: how many cellos can you shred?!
They do a live version of AC/DC’s “Shook Me All Night Long” that is absolutely awesome! They sound great live in case anyone thought they were just a studio act.
I always love when the dude starts beating his cello for drums
Been watching 2 cellos for a while now .. They are amazing. Everything they do its top notch
You might not be ready for this but your kids gonna love it.
They did an amazing job of Queen's 'The Show Must go On' as well.
I'm seeing Apocalyptica is in his near future. Seriously Alex you need to check them out. Not strong enough is still one of my favorites from them
i own a game called Apocalyptica, you play as a holy warrior who uses pages from bibles as ammo for a gun for killing demons
Best thing is to watch the reaction of the kids vs adults in the audience - kids are rockin with it
Luv 2Cellos . .Glad you did this! They are awesome in concert!!

I love how the kids are rocking out!

You should definitely look at
“The Trooper Overture” if you enjoyed this :) it’s by the same guys btw
One of my absolute fave is "The Show Must Go On" ... I think I could watch it on continuous loop allllllll day lol
That was amazing.
The Two Cellos were touring with Elton John.
Just subscribed. After first time watching. Never happens. I like you “right out the gate”!
The 2 Cellos video in itself makes me smile everytime, however I saw it so many times. But, your reaction surely adds another reason to smile.
Find Elton John’s interview about these two. A friend told him to watch them on UA-cam and he invited them to tour with him.
