Orchestrated MCR ftw n.n

YouTube - Helena - The String Quartet

It's pretty much just as I had imagined it would be but slightly more hall-ish sounding.

What song would you listen to re-arranged on a piano? orchestrated?

I still love Apocalyptica's Metalica stuff better than a lot of their new things. Especially now they've brought in vocals and other instruments. Nothing Else Matters being my all time favourite ever.

I think just about everything done with strings is awesome assuming those doing the cover can play their instruments well and it was well arranged. Still, I think cellos have the advantage of being the best rock-to-string cover instrument because of its very full sound. Though I'm just biased.

I'm not a fan of the string quartet arrangements, but I really smurfing LOVE piano covers. I could sit on YouTube all day watching people play rock songs on the piano.

...like this cover of Orestes by A Perfect Circle. And pretty much every other Tool/APC thing that guy has done. *dies*

Not a fan of string arrangements, but I just happened to be watching piano arrangements of video game and anime songs when I came across this thread. Observe.

EDIT: This is the original song of the above piano version for those who haven't seen Higurashi. You can compare it to the piano version.

EDIT (again): To stay on topic, this is a song I would love to hear on a piano.

It is funny, because I have always loved that video (despite the fact that I absolutely despise My Chemical Romance / related bands), and now the song AND video are tolerable!

There was an orchestrated version of Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones which was freaking awesome

Then there's always the Trans Siberian Orchestra

I am a huge fan of the string quartet. I love their covers. They did an amazing one of Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism. And Garbage too. I forget who else, but I had like 4 of their albums.

I hate MCR though so I won't be getting this one.
