I od not have sound....but do you mean rock songs that just incorporates a violin? If you like that then try something from The Verve (Bittersweet Symphony) or Oasis (Whatever).

:thumbsup:

I'll also have to add Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Thanks I've been looking for more bands with violin/string/wind instruments

I happen to like Within Temptation, Kamelot, Leave's eyes, and Lacuna Coil for this type of music. Kamelot has a violin, but the other 3 some do and some don't (well some songs, but they don't put them in every song).

Anybody hear "Hey There Delilah" with violin?

 

[Iron Woode]

does Rednex count?

Love Will Find a Way

I don't think the violin is prominent in many Yes songs, but the transition in this song from violin solo to guitar solo is one of my all-time favorite openings.

I suggest Murder by Death. There's no violin, but there is a cello. It might satisfy your need for another stringed instrument.

Check out their song "Brother"

Naio Ssaion

Kansas.

Am I the only that thought that this was a thread about the video game Rock Band with a violin?

 

[BurnItDwn]

These are metal bands as opposed to rock bands, but here's some of my favorites.

Silent Stream of godless Elegy: They use violin in pretty much all of their songs
Haggard: They use violin in pretty much all of their songs
Shape of Despair: moderate violin usage
My Dying Bride: Some of their older albums feature a violin.

There are MANY more out there ... this is just the tip of the ice berg.

Blue October

Not a violin but Sigur Ros often uses a bow to play a guitar, in effect bowing the strings of the electric guitar. Very cool sound.

I thought of Yellowcard. Bond is good, but its more... classical pop than rock. Still good.

Yeah, Yellowcard has some type of strings player.

The Flobots. Local Denver group. They're a mix of hip-hop and rock with strings. Pretty good stuff.

Are there any bands that play music like that?

I love strings above all else but that did nothing for me.

Never heard of Bond, but they seem pretty good and Hot.

Big fan of Apocalyptica though. :thumbsup:
