[@Apfelvater]

0:30 the fact, how close this sounds to the original is amazing!

[@username17234]

The cello rubbing instead of "how come they always send the poor" was hilarious.

[@66DarkTerror]

fucking genius

[@MrRevolutionxz]

The best thing I've ever heard...

[@theylive1997]

Freakin' genius.

[@blodfiregold5659]

yea this song was realy good

[@docontraplays2789]

i thought it was "why do they aways send the poor...

[@RealRanton]

this is the best thing i have ever seen

[@xaviw5270]

X2

[@PRady-of1ib]

Just legit came here after you showed it in your Stream a few days ago lol

[@michaelregal1721]

this is the best comment i have ever seen

[@catadanna4679]

Heard, you mean.

[@Annabella_Assassins]

I love how everyone is smiling and looking at each other. They’re enjoying what they’re doing and they’re playing together in harmony

[@jrmckim]

You can really feel their connection with each other. It's incredible. They are completely in sync and can feel each of their individual rythms. You can see the trust they have for their band mates.

[@danielknapp3267]

Well said. The connection between musicians in a group setting is an incredible feeling, like a sixth sense or third eye for each other's feelings. I'm reminded of this quote: "90 percent of playing with an artist or in a band or being a part of a project is the hang. The other 10 percent is when you finally get to go onstage and do what you do." - Sheila E.

[@JaallMadGamer]

When you was made to learn the cello but you love metal music.

[@didino1679]

Jake Allen hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@TheLeaningPickle458]

Jake Allen I had to play violin XD

[@JaallMadGamer]

Zeeshan Sohail I absolutely love violin covers of other songs, is so different to anything else. Greats covers on your channel btw. You should do more

[@bulwynkl]

Being a fan of both metal and classical (and many points between)...

[@CalsMD]

Jake Allen best comment ahahha

[@insanegenius0353]

I love how he did the opening scream by just rubbing his hand along the back of his cello. Interesting substitute

[@AdityaDeo-cg6eu]

Interesting indeed

[@benjamingardner3314]

I'm not sure that the members are the same, but I met these guys on the NY subway during a college choral trip, and they got out and performed a Tool cover for my friends and I in the middle of a subway stop on request. One of the most memorable music moments of my life.

[@BeTheDerp]

I like how they move their heads everywhere uncontrollably.

[@jocelynruiz-moreno3440]

BeTheDerp it’s the cellist equivalent of a headbanging :D

[@HorribleSonofa]

I love how they all have distinct physical personalities as they play.

[@zalex2357]

Love it too lol. ALSO, in my experience with playing in an ensemble without a conductor, it’s helpful to make physical gestures of keeping in time with each other. Sometimes there’s a leader! It’s cool how they all have their own style of doing so as well. cheers 😊

[@straypaperplane]

they look sped up

[@hyspecs7906]

That's their enjoyment of the song.

[@nicolaspallauf2901]

i love how you imitated the "why do you always send the poor" scream in the beginning.

[@JangToki]

I hear no difference LOL

[@ErikForSOAD]

it sounded like most of us when we try to sing that part xD

[@potoquinhu]

it kinda surprised me hahahaha

[@vaneyes5137]

2:08 - 2:11 - The way he looks at his friend and enjoy his playing is all that music is about, warms the heart

[@nilsucinar9747]

Cello and heavy metal. this was what I was looking for.

[@jaroluva2787]

Look for two cellos ;)

[@jblasutavario9549]

if this was played at a party, we'd all have a real good time. well done! amazing performance.

[@jojbouk]

i was honestly like 'you cant be serious" but i clicked it anyways and was blown away HOLY CRAP

[@digitalgamer3722]

There's a guy who covered meshuggah's bleed on a bongo

[@khloeg1649]

Never underestimate cellists

[@4ndr3c3s4r1n0]

"WHY DO THEY ALWAYS TELEPORT??" Catching Abra is a pain in the ass.

[@donowitz172]

Thanks KZbin for making this kind of comments exist.

[@soreth4672]

Lmfao bruh

[@Hawkeye-ef4xf]

Bhahahaha best comment ever !!!!

[@crusadercarl6269]

0:04 when the bosses health bar starts to refill

[@_focks6046]

This shows metal can actually be soothing its a very interesting genre

[@rome5628]

🤘 metal is just classical played with guitars

[@Barbaroossa]

I wasn't ready for that moment at 0:31, now it's 1:51 AM and I just woke the whole with my laughter.

[@Dfarrey]

I love how good literally any song sounds when played on cello.

[@BonkMachine]

This could be a track from the Witcher soundtrack :D

[@unforgivenpuppet]

hahahahahahahahaha

[@jglumi]

LOL totally

[@heathermcconnellsellsflorida]

I can see Dandelion getting into this.

[@Deugzo1]

Or game of thrones!!

[@ctographerm3285]

The most intense Gwent match ever.

[@jjmeer]

smiling the whole time, this was awesome!

[@DeFiiya]

Me too!!! :D

[@simonbedan139]

so true :D

[@djotsirave6109]

Right!

[@PigCrafted23]

Two things that make system of a down special: 1. Their goofy lyrics 2. Their harmonies 3. Everything

[@hootenay6008]

MardukFilms this song wasn't goofy at all

[@Yoraii]

MardukFilms did you hear lyrics?

[@henriktheonly3874]

Says: Two things that make SOAD special: *Points out 3 things*

[@alib.sanchez3224]

you are right

[@whodatguy1376]

Henry Andersen goddamn

[@angelpear219]

Madness of SoaD + Beauty of cellos (and drum) = A perfect kind of chaos

[@davidrangelo.3235]

*Everybody's going to the party have to real good time* *_I love that part_* ❤

[@kevindiluigi9377]

And this version is amazing

[@GamalKevin]

"still you feed us lies from the tablecloth" I still headbang when that part comes. You did that too, admit it.

[@siddharthsinha9300]

Alright, you got me. I did that, and I still do.

[@muiznazareth]

1:43.. the bass part that was played by the girl is the key which makes this whole cover sounds alive and good

[@msDanielp369]

bass should sound more than any other instrument, usually. cause you know, it’s the base, and if you wrote your song right, it’s only natural that the other ones fit and accompany and give detail to it just perfectly

[@spethcial]

I love how it is clear how much fun they are having.

[@amberjackson1201]

that "back rubbing" technique was just PERFECT lol

[@xentan]

God damn a cello is such a good instrument to represent Serj Tankian's voice.

[@michaelns9887]

God damn the back of the cello is such a good instrument to represent Daron Malakian's voice

[@TeirunLP]

^ this

[@insanemtl5890]

0:31, Yep, that's the spirit!

[@dhill05]

+Léo Barça More like BRING ME THE SHOTGUN

[@TABBYMUSIC]

From “why do they always send the poor” to *EEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

[@doggotomas7041]

Sytem of a down *WHY THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR* Cello *SSSCCCRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!*

[@nhrider93]

That's funny on 2 levels you put enough space in it so it reads why they always send the poor......read more.

[@MazSix45]

That shit was fucken funny

[@Santiago-es1rj]

*why do they always censore porn

[@8trackheartbeat]

I never thought a SOAD song could give me chills, but this cover did!!! Love it!!

[@smashbros379ful]

Classical Thrash Metal. This needs to be mainstream right fucking now!

[@luxxlethor5505]

that isn't thrash metal

[@ilyazalitsaev4239]

And SOAD is actually mainstream.

[@klink4313]

Ilya Zalitsaev Only like 5 of their songs are mainstream. It's a shame really. Their least popular songs seem to be the best.

[@AakashBalajiCyborg]

Chop suey , byob, aerials , hypnotize ,toxicity, lonely day, these are mainstream , but damn ,ctheir less mainstream songs are the bomb.

[@smashbros379ful]

***** I wanted to say alternative metal at first, but i feared a misunderstanding. But hey, look where it got me. lol

[@brunomarques7774]

where can a i give 1M of likes? hehe

[@ballsrgrossnugly]

I'm sure you can outsource it for a price to India if you really want to do it!

[@ballsrgrossnugly]

amrinder singh Hey, tell Bruno! He might just pay you!

I love to see you all just enjoy yourselves so freely

[@alext.1155]

Це просто неперевершено. Дякую вам, за те шо ви робите, та просто за те, шо ви є.

[@bigchunk1]

Why do they always send the poor?

[@ballsrgrossnugly]

Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses's Dry mouth. Breaking into Fort Knox stealing our intentions... It's fucking poetry for our generation man!

[@georgiopialfa8655]

[@considerantiae]

[@Ruru_desu]

Sounds like a medieval adventure soundtrack, I love it!

[@steelr8716]

this made me want to binge SOAD as if I didn't just do that earlier this week...now I have to go listen to this entire SOAD album

[@chrissnyder3430]

Unbelievable! That put a smile on my face! More! More!! Bravo!!!!

[@LosteYT]

This is beautifull.

[@wolfgangengel4835]

I love SOAD anyway, but when I hear stuff like this I recognize and appreciate even more what a great piece of music this is.

[@sranpopovic9413]

Well done folks,you really feel the music.Thanks

[@j.hateshisjob5137]

I've always wanted a cello as a diehard guitarist, but now there is no doubt in my mind that I will be getting one. Amazing cover, it's so refreshing to hear some of my favorite tunes played on old school strings. Nice job!

[@giselealvessantana1917]

PQP! PQP! Foi uma das coisas mais lindas que eu já vi e ouvi na minha vida. To emocionada! U're rock!!!

[@kuremakairi5920]

Yo, that screech on the cello at the beginning is the perfect imitation of how the song starts out.

[@gungermunggung9299]

You guys are a joy to listen to and to watch! Makes me smile.

[@chronique___dz_8626]

The cello rubbing instead of "how come they always send the poor" was hilarious.

[@Billybizmo1]

Flawless... now do every other song ever please, this was so good!

[@bjcowie6078]

These are the first Medievil covers i have ever come across, absulutily increible, i'm blown away just genius

[@aplicqu8761]

Another fabulous cover. They have done THREE of my fave songs, Black Hole Sun, BYOB and Weezer's Say it Ain't So. They are virtuosi! Amazing to hear their work and watch the skill it takes for them to create these covers. As someone said, Bach wishes he'd done these.... Mozart must be spinning!

[@Ratsoftheswamp]

I'm in love with them omg

[@TABBYMUSIC]

*SQUEAAAAAAAAK*

[@bkbj8282]

Why on earth did you need to edit yourself typing out a "squeak" noise.
