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
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/
Yes, thank you! Thats what I've been saying for years as well!
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
I don't think I've ever seen 2Cellos do anything that WASN'T amazing.
Agent719 fax
Facts
No print, all fax
Yea tho u cant even play the cello
Agent719 THEY ARE FREAKIN AWESOME AMAZING
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 ^^
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
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!
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.
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.
@@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.
Definition of classic (Entry 1 of 2)
1a: serving as a standard of excellence : of recognized value
classic literary works
a classic case study on hysteria
b: TRADITIONAL, ENDURING
classic designs
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/classic
@@chickenpotpie4045 ok...
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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!)
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
I forgot how good this was. I haven't liistened to this in forever.
I saw 2Cellos live a couple of years ago. They were AMAZING!
The youngsters love it! Their elders are scandalized! Who woulda thought...
I totally love this rendition of the AC/DC song, too!
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.
They are from my country Croatia :)
Very proud of them :)
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 ;)
They? Luka is from Slovenia
@@tiprdnemuuho3x he's half croatian ;)
And Tesla is serbian
@@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.
Apocalyptica - I'm not Jesus =Cellos and Corey f-ing Taylor 🤘🤡🤘 a must do reaction Alex 🤩
Thanks's one of my Favorites by them. I love a lot of their collaborations.
Yes a must
He did that mionths ago, i believe
@@samueljoost320 thats right but it was a song feat singer from Three days grace i think.
best collaboration ever- so powerfull - so fucking good!! \m/
I love how like a minute in you can't even hear him talking over the music lmao
Yes, I noticed that too. ^.^
Love how the bows get progressively torn to shreds over the course of the performance.
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
I’m an AC/DC fan and that was totally Awesome! Holy Shit
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."
There’s a video of 2 cellos playing with Steve vai
Highway to hell I think they did with him
Here ua-cam.com/video/qfGggAGITwg/v-deo.html
@@jimamos7984 = I was just going to suggest this too [el'sda2].
Great minds.
They are from my country (Croatia) and we love them, really talented guys. Check out their Iron Maiden - Troper cover
Our country 😀 yes, they are amazing
They? One is from slovenija
I learned this with my cousin. I'm so proud.
One is from Slovenia and one is from Croatia.
@@peterobreza1008 @voodoo Yes, Luka is from Slovenia. My bad.
They're actually Croatian, and now I'm glad to be Croatian as well.
You know how gifted you have to be to play like that?!? LOVE this video, one of the baddest-ass things I've ever seen and heard.
Hey Alex. Please react to the troper overtune by 2CELLOS
Love that one
YES!
THIS
ABSOLUTELY!!! Their version of the Maiden is a must listen!
Absolutely
Alex: *saying something*
Me: "WHAT?!"
LMAO I felt the same there - "What Alex?"
Classical music is the metal of the XIV centuries...
A lot of power, some of them really dark!
Is awesome
My guy you've got to listen to their cover The Trooper by Iron Maiden.
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.
You have to react to Apocalyptica!!! I recommend you Ruska or maybe Path. Or maybe Not Strong Enough.
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.......
I've seen them in concert and they are seriously amazing. I love them!
Considering your recent "obsession" of sorts with female fronted bands, I recommend Roots by In This Moment
Agreed
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 😅
Yessssssss
@@lunavalcreations Please check out the bands I mentioned. I hope you will like them. :) 😂
Cold kingdom is badass too
I remember their cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” was really good too and was even featured on an episode of Glee
That is my favorite cover of Smooth Criminal....
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
I can watch this all day long. They've done a lot of amazing covers.
Apocalyptica! They have cellos too! Specifically, their turn on "Nothing else matters", to name another classic piece :)
2 CELLOS."Whole Lotta Love". Get on it!
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! "
So much talet betwen them makes me cry. Awesome group and another awesome reaction. Glad you like them as much as me. :)
Yessss 2cellos! My boys from Croatia!
They did an amazing job of Queen's 'The Show Must go On' as well.
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!
oooh yes 2Cellos is amazinggg
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!
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
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!
Apocalyptica featuring Corey Taylor - I’m not Jesus....
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.
LOVE that piece, and love to introduce it to people who have never seen it!!! AWESOME!!!
I play the cello and guitar and holy fuck a cello with distortion sounds like a mini gun playing music
I always love when the dude starts beating his cello for drums
Please react to apocalyptica! Check out a classic “hall of the mountain king” by them
YESSSSS!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Every time I see these guys, I expect the cellos to spontaneously combust. Great musicians, great showmanship.
Best thing is to watch the reaction of the kids vs adults in the audience - kids are rockin with it
Yeah..that's our Croatian boys 😊 you should check more of them!!
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.
2Cellos is amazing! There is a reason why the were the opening act for Elton Johns World Tour (in I think 2012) To quote him from an interview he did "I can't remember seeing anything as exiting, since I saw Jimi Hendrix in the Marquee club way back in the 60s" [quoted from "Elton John about 2Cellos]
I love how the kids are rocking out!
This was one of the coolest things I've ever heard, glad you gave it a listen
The whole ice nine kills story! Including IT IS THE END
Has to be the official video cause its awesome lol
Mikr Proebstle Hell yeah 😂
Noooo
Been watching 2 cellos for a while now .. They are amazing. Everything they do its top notch
I love it when someone does a instrumental of a rock song, with classical influences. Just really good.
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
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!
I had seen this before, still a treat. These guys are balls-to-the-wall, all out hairs on end goosebumps awesome!
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!
Somebody mentioned Apocalyptica and I second the motion.
Start with PATH, then move on to the ones that include vocals is my recommendation ;)
These pair awesome they do many covers
OMG Alex, where have you been in the last few years? 2Cellos are doing rock together for 9 years!
2Cellos' covers of The Trooper, and Smooth Criminal are some of my favorites. :D
Me: How many bows can you shred?!
*STARTS BANGING BOW AGAINST CELLO*
Also Me: how many cellos can you shred?!
You should check the first albums from Apocalyptica that are covers of Metallica, similar to 2 Cellos
Great reaction, super skilled duo and an unforgettable track. Also, thanks for introducing me to these guys. Rock on, man!
I'd honestly love to see some classical musicians (like actually from that era) react to this kind of stuff
Apocalytica - "Last Hope" featuring Dave Lombardo. 🤘
You gotta check out more of their stuff, the did whole lotta love by Led Zeppelin
these guys have been together since they were 8 yrs. old in Cello class and stayed friends and did this crazy!!!
thats the dream, sharing a passion with your boi.
I've seen 2 Cellos in Concert 3 times. It is fun every time.
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
I am pretty positive these are the same 2 guys who do the cello work on the "smooth criminal" song scene in GLEE
They sure are. :-)
"I guess you guys aren't ready for it yet, but your great great great grand kids are gonna love it" :D
I love 2 Cellos. They are so talented and crazy!!!
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.
I was gonna suggest Metalachi for some metal mariachi.
epic
Alex! You GOTTA check out Killswitch Engage - My Curse.
If you didn't know,they are from Croatia. And in Croatia,they are so adored and loved,in every place of our beautiful Croatia. So fuck yeah,it's so good you react to them. I love it :)
Luv 2Cellos . .Glad you did this! They are awesome in concert!!
React to apocalyptica playing metallica
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.
If you ever get the chance to see 2 Cellos live you need to go it's a phenomenal show.
My favorite thing about this video is the kids are super into it and keep getting admonished by the nearby adults.
Early! 1st! Omg I have never been this early and I am so glad you are doing this reaction!
Omfg I loved the ending!!!!💙💛🧡
Yes the queen will not amused by such blasphemy
That was amazing.
that lass bit i had no clue a cello could make a noise like that that's awesome orverall really good
The back spin at the end was in homage to Angus Young, and the bow strings are "shredded" from "shredding"...
