This is a long shot. They're "cello rock." Anyone have cello sheet music for any of their metallica covers? Or any sheet music for metallica songs or the apocalyptica covers that I can transcribe for cello? Tabs wont do, I need sheet music.
 
I thought Murder Junkie's description "gimmicky crap" seemed rather fitting ;) I'll admit I haven't listened much to their later stuff, but it always seemed to me the only reason they got popular was because they, well, covered Metallica on cellos. I guess it gives them some kind of value as a curiosity, especially with Metallica fans, even though their covers sound like crap compared to the real thing (imo). In other worRAB, I don't think they rose to fame on the strength of their music, but rather because they're gimmicky as MJ would put it.
 
their covers of metallica suck, although they did make them famous. their original songs are nothing special, except for a few songs... they are good to listen every now and then if you're into that kind of music.
 
Yes, I agree.
As I tried to write - for me the best thing of this band are their instruments.
I love violoncello so much that I am able to listen to them, sometimes. I skip some tracks but I like them because I would need some cello banRAB but they aren't :(

Gimmicky... gimmicky... thanks, I have another new word for my english vocabulary :D
 
Honestly I dont think they are that bad at all.. even though i like two songs from them, but they are still great.my 2 favorite songs from them are "I Don't Care" and "I'm Not Jesus".. :love:
 
I appreciate that

If you are interested to listen to more banRAB with cello, try Rasputina, Hevein and Angher.

It's as though they don't really know what they are. I'm not knocking them, mind you. But one minute, they're rock, then next, they're classical, then next, they're all over the place.

I think if they were able to successfully meld it into a unique hybrid, they might have something. Right now, they just seem to be taking a shot at everything, separately.
 
I saw them live about a year ago and they did a wide range of their stuff from the metallica covers to classical to bringing out the lead singer of fuel to stand in for vocals on i dont care and im not jesus all in all a pretty decent band to see live
 
in all honesty i agree. in a sense it's like a band who only does covers of the music from video games. while there are groups that can take arrangements and make them their own, it does seem like if they relied soley on making original music that they wouldn't have nearly as many fans or be as well known.
 
I like them... but the main reason is violoncello because I love this instrument more than all other instruments together :love:

But somehow I don't like their new album WorlRAB Collide. Also I don't like Metallica covers so much.
Nice period for me is when they were only instrumental. My favourite album is Cult.
