I love that he's actually still playing classical music though, like at 3:30 he plays an excerpt from the 3rd movement of the Dvorak cello concerto, but nobody else knows but him.
Perhaps the greatest metal/rock video in existence. The combination of a classic musical instrument played outside of its usual routine and a the typical electric guitar playing together is amazing. Although this video is old, it's wonderful that we are moving in the right direction. Salutations ladies and gentlemen!
Perttu is easily the craziest cello player alive. To play a fretless instrument to that degree and get a relatively good sound out of it takes years of practice. I've been playing for 8 years and i still don't know about the higher thumb positions. And Perttu knows where to put his hands in those high positions. FRIGGIN BRILLIANT!!! ...Also, that has got to be one of the crunchiest cello sounds with it all amped up. APO ftw
NOW THIS is why i choose to love rock as the top form of music its the one form of music where it is impossible to become a sell out for ur doing what u wanna do and it has the skill of improvisation which is super hard to do in music i mean they end up improvising a entire song in the top of their heads at the end
if anyone's interested, 1:30 is a piece of Z. Kodály's solo cello sonata and 3:15 is a Dvořák's Cello concerto B minor :). proves that Perttu has still some classical shit flowing in his veins
@hellkidgreenday Many years of practice and a degree in music. As well as playing in the Helsinki Philharmonic, and having a father of the same profession. :)
@hellobatty42 Way overdue. I've been saying for more than 20 yrs Cello and Fiddle would be a nice addition. Both instruments can scream hellish noises and be played super fast. It came to mind while listening to Kreutzer by Beethoven (Violin Sonata accompanied by piano) and thought "what if the piano was replace with a guitar played by Kerry King and the violin plugged?
I can't get over how fast Perttu's hand moves when he plays! He has CRAZY skills on that cello!

2 minutes of duel. 6 minutes of Alex trying to prove he's a proffesional whilst standing next to Perttu Kivilakso armed with a Cello.
The awe in just watching his fingers almost robotically hitting every note.

Perttu you are amazing. You, Paavo, and Eicca have inspired me to start cello lessons as soon as mom lets me xD
I just can't believe that Perttu was considered the 3rd best cello player in the world at only 18 years old. O.O
