Vitamin String Quartet performs American Idiot

[random_kangaroo]

Does anyone yet have the Vitamin String Quartet performs American Idiot? And if they do, could they share it with the rest of us? (not sure if that's allowed here or not, sorry if it isn't)

[badwolf]

hmm I never heard of this. I'd like to hear that.

[Foxboro Hot Tubs]

[Katarina.]

Nope.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

There was a thread about it some time ago, I think like 2 weeks or something...

Thanks for the youtube btw, I wanted to hear more than the previews

[random_kangaroo]

I'm surprised no one has it yet (besides that youtube link).

[Foxboro Hot Tubs]

well, it's not really worth having it .. is it?

I mean I don't have anything against this kind of music in generel. but I think mozart or beethoven or whatever just sound better than Green Day if it's played by a string quartet

I want to buy it so badly...but I don't really have the money for it right now. :/

I'll probably get it eventually though.

Bump this to note that I wrote up a review and preview of this.

It aint classic music. As if we've never heard real classic music!

Songs written for electro guitars are usually hard to convert (?) for instruments like piano or strings or whatever. And I think these guys couldnt do it properly, or I just didnt like rock songs this way..

Great review! I'm not a big fan of classical music but I do enjoy hearing Green Day's music in any and all other forms. It's interesting to hear how the melodies they write can stand up in other styles of music, it's a testiment to their knack for writing a brilliant melody I think. Much more interesting than hearing a band trying to copy their songs exactly.

I like all the slower songs on there the most, I think they work best.
