William Tell Overture & Iron Maiden (YouTube part)

A couple of months ago I was searching for a better remix of Thunderstruck of AC/DC
one of the few favs of the band and found The Dueling Fiddlers .
It's nice to hear an instrumental version of Thunderstruck, but both fiddlers didnt impress me a bit. There was no energy no power, just technical correct.


Then I clicked on the 2 CELLOS version  and I was completly speechless, of course the joke of shoking a classical public with rock is very old, but the way the 2 CELLOS perform is just out of this world. So much power, so much energy and some jokes to make it perfect.

So does the William Tell Overture and Iron Maiden in common ?
I thought nothing until but 2 CELLOS created a crossover YOU  MUST HEAR
They called it The Trooper Overture, a perfect crossover between classical music 
and classic hard rock.

Once you hear both, you may wonder, can they play ballads too ?
Yes, listen to their U2 or The Police versions.

And they made plenty of great 2 CELLOS covers of many classic (rock)hits.
Or instrumentals, if you dont wanna miss a song this playlist is a good start.

What are you waiting for ? Go check them out !
