Yes, Kronos and I can play the fuck into a cello... I mean, out of a cello.

You should see us play the cello.

no matter how much music i listen to, classical guitar piano and cello, will ALWAYS be the best music on earth.

look, i can play other styles of music on my cello also!
to me this was as entertaining as "listen to the fun sounds i can make with my tuba *blat* *splot*"

iron horse rocked however.

Well, now that was the nastiest bit of cello abuse I have ever seen. Cool!

3 out of 4 musicians in this band play cello. Thats a ratio i've never seen before. Especially in a band that can sell out stadiums.

Cool idea and all, it's just the cello just doesn't look cool no matter how you play it

*fe.... wha? Ah, misleading thumbnail indeed. I guess you can say *rocknroll though. Yeah, I meant to hear what this sounds like ages ago. Yay cellos!

none taken. you should sift that bluegrass stuff

Apparently I can't downvote this shit since I'm not bronze.

No offense. Residue.

man they can really wail on those cellos, or "grandpa's guitars" if you wish

It is a popular piece for the cello. Wow, he was on The West Wing? I missed that one.

Neat. Nice mix of contemporary sound with some good riffy parts. Was just talking about how electric bowed instruments are finding their stride while listening to Andrew Bird. Sounds like an extraordinary experience working with Huschke and I've never listened to him before. I've had brushes with incredible talent myself, and they always leave me feeling elevated. I guess that's why we go see them.

I just saw your cello how-to clip. You should listen to Wolfram Huschke if you're into cello music. I had a chance to get to know him last year. I work in a theater house where he performed. The concert was supposed to be in an open air arena in the atrium of an old austrian empire mantion and he wasn't very enthusiastic to play in a theater hall when we had to change the venue because it was starting to rain just an hour before the concert. he explained to me later (he's very outgoing, energetic, talks a lot even during performances but he really captivates the audience with his simplicity and warm nature. he's a genius on stage) that he was afraid the humidity would ruin his acoustic cello (he is more famous for his electric cello performances but this time he played both, acoustic and electric, uses some cheap guitar effects on that one i was the organiser on that gig and he had to convince me to change venue. i was pressed fot time but he got me laughing right away and i and the whole team worked like hell to get all set up in less than an hour from scratch, the sound system, the lights, everything. we had a chance to talk a bit later (in my lousy german, we than switched to english) but he had to leave that night for another city, he was on a kind of mini-tour through Astria, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. i have a couple of his cds' he gave me and i like them a lot. i found this low-quality vid of him on youtube if you want to check it out.
