My wife and I saw them last night and it was fantastic. Massive applause to them it was a great night. My personal favorite was Chop Suey until they did Zombie and the bassist came to the front and sang, she was amazing. Loved Killing In The Name and Enter Sandman too. Who am I kidding it was all great.

[@Quiida]

Yea it was awesome!! Maybe the best concert experience I ever had. 😎

[@Laurazanopro]

Do people wear masks to this event? I have two beautiful masks, similar to those worn by the artist.

[@X22GJP]

@@Quiidanot gonna beat Chemical Brothers live.

[@anti3119]

The best cover I've ever heard! Can't stop listening now

[@brencarr5154]

I can't stop watching this!! The ambiance of the stage, the classical instruments, the unmistakable ROCK music... together making magic happen! I so would love to have been there. The masks are exquisite and the skeletons peeking out just make my smile brighter. I am just in love with this Rock Orchestra! Thank you so very much for sharing this!

[@SunOfTheSun]

Just saw these at Cheltenham Town Hall UK. I’ve been to many rock gigs and let me tell you, the BEST EVER!!!!!!!!

[@elliestanford8160]

Loved playing on this !!! Chop Suey love 💕

[@tommy_bedward]

ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL. When you break down rock songs the way that you did, you see how composition is constructed for some reason, you can feel every note with no 'cool' (though I love rock and all the instruments I'm about to state) electric guitars, screaming, no crazy hair cuts, baggy jeans and nu-metal ideology lol! It brings it down to it's truest form and then you can then look at Mozart, Bach and all the great masters... and understand. It's very powerful and more important then you maybe think and I'm grateful for you x

[@magdalenapryga4030]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I always thought it's strange that I love metal and classical music. But when they are mixed together, it's just perfection! Seeing you live is definitely on top of my bucket list ❤️

[@lafabias1876]

You should try Lord of the Lost, they do dark rock/metal/goth, and make their own classical versions, songs that mix those genres, an even straight classical pieces. Absolutely mindblowing. For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2i6hKCwi9aDrcU or kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2SQp6Vqe8aNaLs, or just anything else, they are incredibly eclectic :)

[@McGovern1981]

It's not strange metal and classical are very closely related.

[@tanishqjaiswal1875]

Damn damn damnnnnnnnnn🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥💯

[@MrsMedicate]

Saw them last night. Was a brilliant show. Could barely resist jumping from my seat the whole time

[@coconosabe]

Now I'm excited to watch new amazing covers like this one ♡

[@jackiesommerville4932]

Absolutely fantastic...loved this 🎶❤️

[@richgibson2799]

Excellent, can’t wait for this years set 🤘🏼

[@davidrees1279]

Booked a Ticket to see The Rock Orchestra in Cardiff on October 13, solely after seeing a clip of this Video on Facebook....... Instinct tells me l am in for a great great night! See you there! ❤️

[@TheN1ghtbr1nger]

Watched these in Liverpool this weekend. Incredible! Can not recommend them enough. Both vocalists where outstanding too.

[@ch-dw8op]

Absolutely insane! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 visual and sound perfection! Xx

[@weirdovnikov]

You guys should really do more stuff 🔥🔥🔥

[@Amy-J]

Saw them in Swansea recently, had a fantastic time. Their cover of Toxicity was amazing 😭

[@chd69]

These guys are awesome live! saw then earlier this year at Lincoln UK Can't wait to see you again ! 🤘

[@stanimirmarinov6235]

My niece and I bought tickets at the end of July and on 19th October 2023 I had the opportunity to attend the rock orchestra concert at the O2 Shepard Bush Empire London. Just a magic created by classically trained musicians. The costumes gave an interesting touch to the performance. The approach to the interpretation of many famous hits led me to make a very important conclusion. Rock is the modern concept of classical music. Thanks for the wonderful performance.I was very impressed.

[@lroche3262]

Waiting for more!

[@CA-tulip]

Incredible! I need to come and see you guys perform 🤘

[@JordanLouzado]

I’d love for you guys to upload more, I want to relive the moment! Saw them live on 30th October. Would so go again I loved it!!!

[@DASH-mq4oj]

Absolute goosebumps!

[@MiraX871]

I need more.❤❤❤ It's adorable!

[@joshuagleeson4776]

The show in Dublin was absolutely brilliant, well worth seeing these guys if they're at a nearby venue.

[@alicehadley3294]

Fantastic!!! 🔥🔥 Very talented. Have never been to a show yet but hope to make it soon x

[@beeks316]

Stunning! I hope to watch you all live some day!

[@bristlesub2791]

The song in the start sounds like a villain's theme, then switches to their sad backstory, then back to the present

[@DoctorRambo1986]

This sounds absolutely epic, literal chills!

[@CocoAzoitei]

Amazing!!! Love it 🔥🎻🙌🏻

[@cazamatazz]

Saw you in Dublin and absolutely amazing. Thank you for the brillant memories.

[@C7SH0CK]

Just left the Atlanta show where u rocked it!! 🎉 was amazing show

[@sooze1969]

I love this song - and your cover stands alone - It blew me away with the tenderness, the anger and passion throughout! Wow. A big cheer to the roady who has the job of setting out all those essential atmospheric candles and switching them on (I assume battery powered) every night! I've never been to a show yet as I don't think you've been to my area - but hoping next time you are in the UK Westcountry I'll make an effort to see you perform.

I had the sheer privilege of seeing The Rock Orchestra live at the Student Hall in Cardiff on the 13/10/22. They are much better live than this video clip suggests believe me. They blew every single one of us away with their live performance.

[@bradlittle8047]

19th October I CANT WAIT 🖤🤘

[@miriamwakeling689]

YESSSSSSS!!! Awesome!

[@candypopdragon528]

[@Silvverkim22]

Amazon. Love this

[@rosiekate.x]

Instant goosebumps from the get go. What an amazing rendition of this song! I never would of thought this song could of sounded so amazing without lyrics and just an orchestra 😍

[@harjeet2872]

Amazing

[@lordxkronoz]

This cover makes me float in the air and conquer the world at the same time

[@johnbrittoc238]

Finally found a best music channel in my life 🙌

[@scottlea]

Incredible performance! Gives me chills! All about the beauty in the music. To compose this masterpiece from the original is an art form in itself and to have such skilled musicians performing it... just something else. It reminded me of Rondo Veneziano if anyone is familiar with their work

[@tabunginspirasi817]

OMG flawless Creation, keep up the good works 👍👍

[@McGovern1981]

Still sounds beautiful to me! Going to see them this November!

[@MrDophilus]
