yeah I heard of those, and am planning to buy the collection at some point.
as for the above video, it differs from the "pickin' on" series which puts a bluegrass spin on the music (which I like) , but the violinist above actually manages to make the violin sound almost like a rock guitar. I didn't even know you could do that!

I dislike heavy rock, and that includes this guys performance, but I can still appreciate talent when I see it. this guy is awesome. making a violin sound like a rock n roll guitar is just simply amazing to me.
That's the link to the Haken video, with him on electric viola. Check out how the horses come out of the barn for a closer look. _________________ Kryten: Don't you believe that God exists in all things? Aren't you a Pantheist?

There's always the cello quartet "Apocalyptica", which has done several Metallica covers, including an entire album of them.
Here is their cover of "One" from Metallica's _...And Justice For All_. _________________ aa #51, DNRC o-, Member of the [H]orde
