That's great, thanks for posting it.  I like the song too. (In my opinion, it was Metallica's last good song.)

EDIT:  Here's Apocalyptica playing Metallica's One (one of my favorites):

I have heard 'Nothing Else Matters' by these guys. (maybe it's featured in these videos - yet it watch it.)  It's almost like the strings are going break by the time they finish playing.

Yep. Enjoyed that, it was fun. And if it interests young people in learning to play the cello then its a good thing  :)

Yes, i can already imagine kids dreaming to play in a Mahler symphony after watching this. Makes perfect sense.  ::)
