Well, now that was interesting. I had to listen to it...go and listen to Black Sabbaths version which I haven't taken a listen to in a long while...go back and listen to this again. It's cool...very different. I love music and I'm a fan of Black Sabbath so I don't think it'd cut it for me if I was in the mood for Ozzy but it's cool. When my brother got married, he asked the organist to play Billy Idol's "White Wedding" rather than the traditional wedding music. The organist was a sweet little old lady in her 70's (at least). She'd never even heard of the song.Well, I'll tell you, this lady did her research and did an amazing job!

Oh, I'm not ready to dump amps and 6 strings for the harp, but it's cool to see that the music I like sounds good whether it's from a screaming shredder or on the instrument of the angels. :~D

true! And while it is a completely different sound...still cool. A twangy Pink Floyd was far from cool...maybe comical.

I always think that there is more musicianship in Metal than mainstrem music like POP, Rap, R&B. Metal band play real music. They use a lot of musical instrument to make it better. Turisas has violin and acordian. There are a lot having keyboard and orchestra in their music. Mainstream music really don't have musicianship. They depend on auto-tune and electronic and computer to make music. During live show, they lip-syncing a lot.

That dude looks like Donny Osmond. It's lovely but it sure takes the punch out of a good example of great rock! The harp is a beautiful instrument.
