Title: Vitamin String Quartet
Post by: OnyxPanicProne on May 06, 2012, 09:50 AM
Vitamin String Quartet is an orchestra group that takes rock/pop/whatever songs and turns it into a orchestra piece. They have done a tribute to Deftones and tons and tons of other bands as well. Has anybody heard the songs they did for Deftones?

How does a string such as those featured in this "quartet", as a goodman boy such as yourself so put it, go about acquiring vitamins? I have not stumbled across such a thing in my adventures across this universe, and neither has my old buddy old pal Vesanic, undoubtedly, for he knows of nothing in this baffling world.

I can upload this for you OnyxPanicProne. I would keep requests like these other than deftones in the Download/request Board though. the sharks from the my own summer video will eat your balls otherwise.

Oh no its not a request... I own the album, I was just asking if anybody heard about them. I thought maybe people would it find it interesting.

I liked it a little when it first came out. But it's grown on me since, and now I really enjoy it. Their tribute to Chevelle is enjoyable also. They've done renditions of other artist's music, But those aren't as interesting to me.

Those 2 songs were surprisingly good, I've heard other bands string quartets but it sounds like a bit more care was taken when making this compared to the others.

You might have heard the other string group (String tribute Players), they suck tho... They use computers to make the songs, not real instruments like VSQ.

Change is very well executed but i think that song needs the "percussion" that guitar strumming gives to the song... if i would have to choose an instrumental cover of that song i'll choose this one.
