Yngwie Malmsteen does A LOT of Neo-classical metal covers. Also try and find some songs by At Vance, as they too do a lot of classical work.

Sorry, I don't know any. But I've always wanted to hear some, or do some of my own. The trouble is, I hardly know any of their names. Toccata und Fugue in D minor is a must, the Moonlit (Moonlight???) Sonata, and there's one about a dying swan that's really famous as well...

Malmsteen has an awesome cover of the Toccate Fugue. Make sure you check that one out.

Thankyou. Don't mind if I do...

Is that Yngwie J Malmsteen then? Because I can't find Toccata und Fugue in his discography, and there aren't any other Malmsteens on Google...

 

[Herald of Abomination]

Yngwie J. Malmsteen, yes. It might not be in his discography, but search for "Toccata Fugue" in a download program's search engine. I got mine from AudioGalaxy, but it was shut down.

Can't find the fucker anywhere!



Nevermind, I can't be arsed anymore. I'll have a look tomorrow.

This is not actually classical, but check out this one: Sentenced - Konevitsan kirkonkellot. It's a good cover from Piirpauke's original song, which I happen to like more though.

BTW: I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think that Piirpauke's saxophonist played saxophone on Amorphis' Am Universum.

I think there's a part of Für Elise on Accept's Metal Heart. Aawk I hate that song.

Spinal Tap do one. I think Botch (metal core) do a cover of some recognizable classical piece that I can't put a name to. It sounds totally ridiculous.

 

[erich]

Oh yeah, and I think Nuno, the guitar player for Extreme played "Flight of the Bumblebee" at some point.

Symphony X has adapted a few classical pieces, notably Mars, The Bringer Of War in the second section of Divine Wings Of Tragedy.

Skyclad did a cover of 'Sabre Dance' on their 'Irrational Anthems' cd...good stuff, I always liked that song with full orchestra. The band 'Believer' did a lot of metal mixed with classical, especially on the album 'Dimensions'.

 

[The Crimson King]

I think it was mostly the beginning of the Divine Wings of Tragedy, right?

Nile did a cover of Mars too, I forgot the name of the song though.

Heh...Accept is so bad....
