I quite enjoy when a metal or hard rock band adds a full orchestra for a remake of an old favorite. I just found the Scorps on YouTube doing this with winds of change. Got any favorites that i can add to my playlist?VIDEO

Yeah I know, not quite on topic....but I have never hyjacked a thread before....
Anyway, its sort of the same theme....rock music played by orchestra.
@Ionus,
works for me...like the Hollyridge Strings hijack the Beatles
I nominate every cut on the Days of Future Passed album by the Moody Blues. This video is a montage of some of the best cuts from it.
There's a bit of dead air in the beginning of the video so nudge it with the mouse a bit to get past it.

The back story of this album is rather interesting if you're into that sort of thing:

@Butrflynet,
Another Moody Blues pick - Moody Blues A Night at Red Rock. This is the first of a 12-part video of their concert with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. The whole thing is a good listen.

Thanks people, I have added some of these to my play list
@GoshisDead,
not ever really a rock band, but Brian Setzer from the stray cats mostly travels with an orchestra now.
