Today I had my first experience with 2Cellos. Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser are a pair of young Croatians who [completely unknown to me] have been going viral and knocking the bejesus out of the musical world with their performances.
This is their cover of Thunderstruck from AC/DC.
AC/DC must be so blown away by these guys. Here is the original version.
Now for those of you are are not real AC/DC fans…here is their version of Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal.
Why did no one insist I learn the cello ? Why did no one tell me it sounded like this ? Why did no one tell me 2Cellos existed ? I am officially in love. I am in awe. I want more…so I am off to their site to get more. I’ll be back in the morning.
To keep you going until then…here they are playing “Where The Streets Have No Name.”
Wow!!
They remind me of Apocalyptica. They play things like Metallica

I have always regretted giving up the violin when I was nine. Now even more so. Back then I wanted to play outside. I could have been as cool as these dudes. I think Smooth Criminal was my fave.
