Classical/traditional rock covers

I came across one or two classical covers of rock songs over the years that stuck in my head.
Finding another one just now, I decided to hunt down a few more, and this is the list I came up with:

King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King - Mitteleuropa Orchestra
Tool - Forty-Six & 2 - Vitamin String Quartet
Metallica - One - Viola da gamba solo
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water - Japanese traditional instruments with orchestral backing
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb - London Philharmonic Orchestra
Led Zepellin - Kashmir - Yamato String Quartet
... and another version by London Philharmonic Orchestra

ITT: share your favourite rock covers that use cl

  • I like the idea of automatically fastening zips in places with limited access (like the tent example in the article), but unless the failure rate is very low, you'd always need a backup fastening technique on hand

  • I know very little about GIMP or other OS design software, but does this software have a plugin system that designers could use to extend the software so they can use it how they want?
    That would be another thing to look into

  • a platform that enables designers to relatively easily contribute to open source projects without learning git

    Reading this made me a bit sad.
    On the one hand, I understand how tools like this could be a hurdle for someone who isn't heavily invested in their use. And on the other, as someone who has tinkered with open source projects, I know that as hurdles go, git is the first of very many hurdles that must be cleared when contributing to a large, mature GUI program like this, and it's a pretty low one at that.

    It would be great if more people could contribute to and help develop open-source versions of tools they themselves use, but I can certainly see how tough it can be starting out

  • I wanted to play around with a project that uses Nix... it seemed really cool but I couldn't get it working, I guess I was throwing myself in at the deep end with it

    It looks like a fantastic way of sharing a dev environment across a team
