[kshayk]

there must be sceince behind why i'm always finding myself in those kind of youtube videos in the middle of the night

[enlightendbel]

This would actually work quite nicely as a Bond theme.

[larryy]

FLUTE YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YA TELL ME! FLUTE YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YA TELL ME!

[TobusPls]

I want to travel back in time to the 1700s or whatever and play these metal covers to the people

[adamdecker]

Jesus what's with all the negativity, this was honestly pretty damn great. Anarchy punk rock in classical? Phenomenal

[philipottey]

4:13 Balderdash you! one's old bean, shan't comply upon constrictive terms in which prohibits the lack of informing thyself of engaging resistance amongst adhering and obeying said commands.

[isaiahhernandez]

Thank you for your rage. You're helping carry on the legacy of a song from my favorite album back when I was 16 years old in the 90's. Bless you!

[sleven]

I love how the intro sounds exotic and when the verse kicks in it sounds like a hero theme.

[WhiteBloggerBlackSpecs]

This is the Philharmonic with Rage Against the Machine, "Killling in the Name" in A minor. You're listening to classical on NPR

[fongdimbulator]

Oh fuck yes. Just finishing my last cup of whiskey at 4am in front of the computer and this totally injected me with the will power to lurch to the 7/11 for a refill and RAtM marathon.

I know cellos typically follow bass or viola parts, but I feel if the cellos had done Zack's voice it would've been a better plan. The brass sounds... Too happy, almost. I don't really know how to describe it. But this was absolutely beautiful, I can't lie. I loved it, truly. Amazing job.

[LucasAlvesMusic]

the ''vocals'' sound too happy to me

[SapereAudio]

It's like a nice skeleton of what a really awesome orchestral arrangement of this could be. Needs more creative stuff like the piccolo lines at 2:46. I mean, you could totally reharmonise parts of it, really take it somewhere special!

[waltr]

Makes me remember a kid walking out of music class in 5th grade. Told the teacher he "was sick of singing Crocodile Rock, why couldn't we try some Led Zeppelin?". That was 1978.

[justinr]

This is precisely what I wanted it to be. BEST.

[restojon]

When you're feeling rebellious but have several degrees in ologies

[robbell]

Sounds like something a bond villain would have as his backing music.

[redrobyn]

Love this arrangement!  Great job all of you!

[donatodelapaz]

Magnifico! This is like tribute to the man with the sickest flow.

[chrissmith]

You know you’ve made it when an orchestra turns you into elevator music. :-p
It is a very cool interpretation.
