A number of years ago I was part of a (now disbanded) A-10 forum. We were given the opportunity to title Dru Blair's A-10 piece. "Thunderstuck" won. I have a personalized signed proof.

My kids love, LOVE, watching 2CELLOS videos. Those two have done something incredible with their talent, IMO.

When I first saw this post earlier today I just skipped over it....then I had a minute just now and decided to see what it was all about.

I’m so glad I did. This is amazing! Thanks OP.

Here is another one that I found enjoyable...

Also, when the video began I was thinking to myself that there is no way they can pull off Thunderstruck without drums. They proved me wrong.

Had not seen that before! Awesome. Smile

Looks like AC/DC is a bit hard on cello bowstrings.

There is a whole sub-genre of rock/metal music played primarily with cellos. Most of the bands are European/Scandinavian.

Saw one of their videos some time ago and had forgotten how much I enjoyed them. Thanks for posting and refreshing my aging memory! Big Grin

And yes, smlsig, that rendition of the U2 classic was fantastic!

In the OP's video, beginning at 2:30, there's the sound of a THIRD cellist. Eek



I found what you said riveting.
