Rage Against the Machine -- Killing in the Name (Orchestral Arrangement)

[@kshayk0]

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

[@maragossep3492]

I lay here early morning. My immediate answer is that you are able to focus in exactly the way needed to listen to this. No more chores, end is near (sleep) You can go all in on music at this hour.

[@Matt-zg5tz]

@@Zeagods-CyberShadow guys....just because you hear horns in songs it doesnt really mean it has to be bond theme :D :D :D

Maybe for the movie where Bond learns M is the baddie and Bond has been fighting him all along.

[@adamdecker5483]

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

[@jdmd3247]

Adam Decker actually RATM genre is RAP Metal which is way heavier and with a even hard revolutionary message than Punk, the riffs also differ from that, Punk riffs are not that structurated as RATM ones

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

[@goldenapple5958]

[@zakwasny]

No one can mimic anger and fury of Zack's vocals. This 'cover' is kinda nice, though.

[@quintfl]

It's cool hearing it though. I had this CD. EVERYONE had this CD.

[@waltr6081]

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.

[@mandyshores1818]

This is absolutley amazing!!!

[@JoshBreinholt]

This is amazing!

[@kleinebre]

If I may give some constructive criticism... I think it's Not Bad, but it all seems very controlled, whereas what makes the RATM performance great is the entirely out of control intensity of it all. If you compare this with the original track, what this orchestral performance needs (apart from more cow bell) is more "RHAAAAAAAAAA!!! MOTHERFFFFF!!!!!!". If that means breaking a few strings on those violins, so be it!

[@zab666]

kleinebre well, they are classically trained musicians and I thought it was pretty wild for an orchestra. You can't expect them to go out of their comfort zone. Most of them are too scared to even play without their notes in front of them :-P

[@VRnamek]

yeah, rock made badly played, out of tune and noise part of concert performance. People who stride for perfection have a hard time trying to emulate it. I suggest alcohol and drugs, plus no rehearsal...

[@hoot2416]

zab666 oh what a cliche. It's not about being scared to play without the sheet music. Classical music is much more complex than playing a bunch of power chords. A Mozart Concerto or Beethoven Symphony is infinitely more complex than most, if not all, modern music except for maybe jazz and classical musicians are expected to be perfect. Soloists do typically memorize pieces. Also Professional Classical musicians have to learn a whole lot of music in very little time. It varies program to program. They don't get to play an hour or two of music they've been playing their entire careers with three or four songs from their new album like rock/pop musicians do. Just putting things in perspective for non-classical music people out there.

[@zab666]

yeah, I agree. It is almost impossible to play long classical pieces without notes when you are a professional musician in an orchestra who plays something new every other week. I have a background in classical music as well and my comment was meant to be funny rather than offensive.....although I have worked with classical musicians that still would make themselves sheet music even if it is only 4 bars of the same 5 notes in just the chorus parts. Habits I guess ;-)

[@hoot2416]

zab666 I apologize then for getting on you like that, then. As a hobbyist classical musician one of my pet peeves is non-classical musicians disparaging classical musicians for needing to read sheet music, and I have encountered some that were actually serious about it.

[@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!

[@Maya-sn3qm]

THIS IS SO AMAZING OMG

[@robbell3479]

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

[@douglasdholt]

Nice try, but they don't seem to understand the need for intense staccato, especially the opening piano. Too smoothly performed. Feels like the edges were sanded off! Are they all on Valium? Still, it's nice to see an orchestra having fun with killer songs like this!

[@datfellow2502]

I agree. It's awesome and I definitely couldn't play any of those instruments, but as a consumer I would not buy or even probably casually listen to the song because it's just not rage like. Too smooth and happy.

[@jaysean9589]

There's a lot of reverb on everything, isn't there? I only hear the intense edges really in the buildups to the chorus and it's probably thanks to the high brass.

[@jripule]

A beautiful arrangement, and proof that not all pop-music is just nonsense. At the very least the aggression translates well. The anger not so much, but this is good.

[@dadrummergirl101]

I definitely wanted more groove considering what this song is and not played as linear as it was just played

[@quintfl]

Zack wasn't there

[@edbutler3]

Very cool concept, but the groove needs work for it to be all it could be.

[@anonymouslyknowing]

I agree with you, it needs some swing to it. It feels too concrete to me. But great arrangement nonetheless

[@ForTheRecordwithScottyD]

Yeh the lack of swing, as minute as it is in the original, definitely takes out a lot of the character and groove.

[@Awesomanous]

They made it sound like a Bond theme tune with a bit of a muscial dance song.
