Muahaha, Sepultura's classical Refuse/Resist performed by a synth pop duo!
I cannot stop laughing hearing her sexy voice singing about tanks in the streets confronting police

@ Kenneth: Congrats for getting married and all the best
This is one of the most uplifting and touching songs I heard as of late. Just a bit of background, in case you haven't heard about this breakthrough success, in kind of a journalistic way: Susan is a 48 years old lady who lives in Scotland with Irish heritage from her parents. She showed up in a contest called "Britain's Got Talent" out of nowhere and when the audience/judges saw her, immediate signs of discredit and repudiation were evident due to her homely appearance. It didn't take longer than 5 seconds for everyone to be astonished and clapping on her. Her album is due to be publicly released today and for those like me, who happened to have read the entire page from Wikipedia on her... it's really one of the most wonderful stories of life. She had a dream and she conquered it. A great story and example to anyone, especially for someone who publicly assumes "never having been kissed".

Final chorus (in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor) from Schiller's Ode to Joy, during Bernstein's live outdoor concert with the Berlin Philharmonic @ the official dismantling-celebration of the demise of the accursed Berlin Wall: Instead of "Freude," Bernstein craftily inserted "Freiheit." Magically uplifting IMHO.
And absolutely pure metal.
Freedom, friends. Friendly freedom.

Something like this one?
Metal renditions of Ode To Joy are kinda endless:
(Hilarious! Grunts+pig scream version)

Finally, my favorite metal rendition of "Ode To Joy" which I have as a ringtone:

Ah TSBO- or you could say Savatage. I once read that they take the shitloads of money they make with TSBO (there are 2bands under this name touring USA round Xmas time, go figure) and use it to fund recordings for Savatage albums.
And ofcourse the Muppet version is the best!

Anton,
Thank You for your erudite video research. From the sublime to the whacked, you got 'em pegged! I'm also grateful for all those renditions of Ode to Joy: It's making me so happy on an icy day.
Given that it's Thanksgiving (Abraham Lincoln's idea; good in a thankless society, eh?), I must emphasize that I am very thankful for hangin' out, even though virtually for now, with kickbu** peeps like y'all.
Y'all Come Back Now, Y'Hear?
Kif Chalack? Tayeb! Marhaba, achui (dat thar right?).Hey, I remember s'more. There's hope.

Anton beat me to it, my friend. I think I'll go turn the space-heater on--brrrr. Can you feel the warmth, all of you living in cold climes? Good.
Drat: My CD with the Bernstein outdoors concert @ the Wall is in storage, because I'm looking for a new home. Right now, don't have 1/3 the space I need.
Yes, those vids. And to think that Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) wrote this work of stunning genius when he was entirely deaf.... Beethoven was a classical metal composer: He was clearly built out of pure steel. Legend has it that during his last minutes on earth, lying in his deathbed, there was a thunderstorm. He felt the thunder and saw the lightning and shook his fist in defiance at the sky! Is that not Metal?! RIP.
Be Good,
FiftyString (why not?)

That band...that muppet band: Did it have a name?
And, please, somebody, tell me: What was the bassist's name?
Thank You!

Okay! Oh, well, I have not found (yet) the outdoors concert. But that's okay for now, because the intrepid Anton's search yielded the third installment of the INDOOR 1989 Berlin Philharmonic performance of Ode to Joy.
YouTube seems to have three installments of the entire song with superb sound-fidelity. Must be Deutsche Grammophon.
So....here's # 2, the JOY ("Freude") PART! ===>
It starts with the bass (yay) singer chilling everyone out, like a good bassist should...well, a bass singer, at least. Then, he cranks up the dBs and sings/declares "Freiheit!" ("Freedom!") rather than the original "Freude!" ("Joy!"), with the entire orchestra, choirs, mezzo + soprano + tenor raising the roof with him (be patient, it builds up). It's beautiful, also to see an elderly Leonard Bernstein beaming like a young man in love: This is Joy!

Bye for now,

Bro,'
Did you just remove that url? I was skimming through the thread and read that yours depicted you drumming to a Tanzanian (right?) dance.
It's gone: YouTube is resolute on that.
I don't cry that often. Fix it, Anton, please, fix it I beg of you.
I gonna have to call my mommy because of this
