I remember reading that people had versions of radiohead songs or metallica songs done by the philharmonic or something. just wondering if you could give me exactly what was done and other bands that have versions of their songs done like this.

i enjoy both genres and would really like to hear some of this stuff...
 
I think that Puff Daddy... ahem sorry Sean Puffy Combs... oops sorry again P-Diddy :disgust: did Come With Me with some kind of orchestra for Godzilla 2000.
 
Sorry to dig up a several day old thread, but this was the closest I could find to what I was looking for and didn't think my contribution was worthy of an original thread 😛

I was just digging through the MP3 server at work and came across some old Richard Cheese stuff. I forgot how funny some of it was. His version of NIN's Closer is absolutely hilarious! I love the whole cheap, Casio keyboard sound. If you don't know who he is, he released an album a few years ago called "Lounge Against the Machine." It covered top songs of the late 90s and 2000 done in lounge singer style. They were also the house band on that karaoke show on MTV for awhile. Extremely funny IMO.

More seriously though, I know some philharmonic or pops orchestra did a performance on Metallica stuff that was made into a CD several years ago. My friend's roommate had it in college and it was actually quite cool. For some reason I think it had something to do with San Francisco (either recorded there or the symphony was based there.)
 
The Tool Tribute is called

Third Eye Open

and you can get it all over the place online.

the Radiohead one is called

Strung Out on OK Computer

and it's the entirety of OK Computer.

Both are ok, not stellar.

Richard Cheese is cool as hell.
