Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons - Summer". Written by some guy, sometime, I'm not sure on the history of it is. But I found a cover of this song by Children of Bodom's guitarists, Alexi Laiho, and Roope Latvava. I thought it was pretty bad-ass and its a cover of classical, so I put it here .

Written by some guy...some time...You are lucky a hand doesn't reach up from the grave and do you an injury Rob.

It's okay for now, I will write a Proper Vivaldi thread sometime down the road.

Haha, sorry LG, I'm not knowledgeable when It comes to anything classical :

But yeah, Oblivion if you wanna start throwing in great covers of classical songs, I've got a few I can share as well.

Yesterday this topic was named "rock impressions of classic music" for 5 minutes... And then I realised NONE of the savatage classic covers are to be found on youtube... So I walk away in shame.

Re: Antonio Vivaldi's - The Four Seasons

OMG!!!!!!! I LOVE VILVALDI!! He's like the first classical metal dude! There is some shreddin' goin' on at times.

He has a sad story too. He was asthmatic as a child and in those days there were no medications to help relieve that crap.

Alot of his music, I believe was himself being sad and the music he made was a result.

Here is one of my favorite works by Antonio..and does anyone remember when they used it on Sesame Street. One of the only times that show choked me up and still does.

"Guitar Concerto in D" 2nd Movement

You are right MP, his music is used all over the place and most people don't even know it's him.
