Turisas' cover of Rasputin

Enjoy. It's genius. And accordions are FUCKING metal.

There aren't words for how awesome that is.

[uberbitsch]

Yeah. That's why I was reduced to a shrieking hysterical fangirl at the end of it I think. ;P

[calatha]

That was very entertaining. Omg accordions. XD

[uberbitsch]

Yes! And a fiddle!! The fiddler occasionally goes on little rants about how fiddle solos totally pwn guitar solos.

[calatha]

Awesome. Are harps next?

[uberbitsch]

With Turisas I wouldn't be surprised at all.

[sirtwist]

Oh dear. You may have made a fan out of me.

[uberbitsch]

As you SHOULD be!!! They're the best thing EVER to come from Finland.

I don't know.. I'm a bit partial to Nightwish and Sonata Arctica... but then I'm weird like that ;-)

[uberbitsch]

I won't hold it against you. ;P

[uberbitsch]

Yeah, that was the only drawback but my GOD they do it amazingly well live. Plus he makes up for it by proclaiming to be a Disco gig. AND the fiddler has been known to rant about how violin solos are better than guitar solos.

Oh. My. GOD!!! I totally love that song. That was amazing.
There is a bit, I think at 1:42 left to go, when he shouts "LOVERRR OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEEEEEEN... THERE WAS A CAT THAT REALLY WAS GOOOOOOOOOOOONE" that somehow made me feel like everything in my life had just fallen magically into place. "Oh, THAT'S what was missing. It's all going to be alright..."
Only one thing - he didn't say, "Oh, those Russians" at the end"...

[cenobytia]

Sorry dude - deleted it 'cos I just noticed another bit after it I really liked and had to add it in :-)

[uberbitsch]

Aye, no worries. ;)

Bottom line is, that's an ace song. And Turisas do a fantastic cover of it. Plus their accordion player is more metal than I could ever be.
