<div class="IPBDescription">Think they should collaborate?</div> I was going through my heavy playlist, on shuffle as always, and Nine Inch Nails played followed by Apocalyptica. For those of you who don't know, <a href='http://www.apocalyptica.com' target='_blank'>Apocalyptica</a> is a band from Sweden that started in 1994 covering Metallica with Cellos. They evolved their sound and attached pre-amps and pickups to their cellos to make a heavier sound, then acquired Dave Lombardo (drummer from Slayer) to play with them later on in their album titled Reflections.

I am not going to bother explaining NiN. If you don't know who that is, you're a NiNkumpoop. (I thought it witty.)

I think that if the two were to collaborate and put together a song, it would be absolutely awesome. Think "Hurt" with cellos that rock.

Thoughts?

    I like Apocalyptica since I used to play Cello, and I always figured they should work on expanding. I'd be all for it if they ever decided to do so.

    I like the idea of Apocalyptica, only ever heard one song before though. Didn't realise it was all cellos and what not. The name doesn't give that impression to me at least <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But orchestral instruments in rock music is often gooooood. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If you haven't heard of Apocalyptica before, here are some <a href='http://www.apocalyptica.com/releases/apo_album.php' target='_blank'>samples</a> for you to look at. (ATTN MODS: this is not illegal, these are samples provided by the official website.)

    People who don't download tons of music and stick it on their mp3 player and never ever go and buy the real stuff, and actually only use the official music sites as samples of the respective band's work? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    So yeh, no one.

    Apocalyptica are too slow. NiN should collaberate with Danny Elfman or someone like that.

    I think A Tribe Called Quest should come back and make a record with Gang Starr.



    But that's just me.
