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*
Rotted Body Landslide by Cannibal Corpse.
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!Quote:

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. :jess:
Pick a better CC song. Like for example, I'd love to see a string quartet's take on Frantic Disembowelment.Quote:

Much better than the original! :P
I might download some of that Vitamin String Quartet stuff. I found a whole bunch of it on iTunes.
