Apocalyptica’s Battery Cover

Covering Metallica isn’t that easy on a guitar unless you’ve got some great skill. How about covering it on a cello? I actually played the cello (terribly) from 6th-12th grade, but I definitely couldn’t do what Apocalyptica does. If you’re not familiar with them, they’re a Finnish rock group of cellists that got started 20 years ago by covering Metallica–on cellos. Since then, they’ve released a lot of their own music and even done collaborations with Corey Taylor, Adam Gontier, Brent Smith, and several others. If you’ve never heard of them before, check them out their brand new video for their cover of Battery (to celebrate their 20th anniversary), plus a couple more videos:
