Kids playing something akin to prog rock makes a nice change
I think the only thing is that the quality of the recording presumeably on someone's digital recorder which is understandable

The second vid is better and I fail to see what is wrong with the violin tbh

Its a violin playing a cello part, that's all, no denying shes good at her vioilin etc....

EDIT more accurately it is (at least) a string quartet piece. The violin only plays certain accents in the melody not the whole tune.

Ah sorry, misunderstood you Perkustin.

Not having heard the original doesn't colour my expectations. Covers can sound a bit off. It's a bit like seeing a film having read the book

Indeed, technical ability aside; It doesn't just sound off. It sounds terrible. A butchering of one of the more memorable video game themes of recent years.

I hardly call it a butchering... As the director of bungie and of microsoft called them up and asked them to play for them at E3
BTW your all wrong its an electric violin. And yes her violin was a little too loud compared to the bass and the guitar.

Rather unfair to say the music was butchered.

Like I say, I don't have expectations informed by constantly hearing a piece of professionally performed music no doubt recorded with high end production values.

A five piece (?) band recorded playing live are going sound very different. They had to arrange the piece. Of which I think they did a good job. Butchered? nah.

TBH I think they gave it more of an edge. I don't know, that might not be something you want while playing a game, but for a concert performance it worked for me.

In this thread: Opinions are wrong.

You can quite easily book a performer and then have them be crap.

As the previous video proved.
