2CELLOS - The Trooper Overture [OFFICIAL VIDEO] 

"It's an honour to die by their hands" ~Every Bow String they Ever Broke.

♪ So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning Bach ♪

This transition from the William Tell Overture to The Tropper is so flawless and awesome. I would love to see them perform live on stage with Iron Maiden.

You know you wrote a good song when it can be played on different instruments and it still works great.

RIP Bow Hairs Your sacrafice will not go unnoticed

WOW!! 5 MILLION VIEWS!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND SHARING!!

As one of my friends always said, if Mozart was born in the 1970's he would have a metal band.

Funfact: It took 360 years since the invention of that instrument for someone to come and play it properly. Thank you 2Cellos, now its your chance to start playing recorder (which btw is a really stupid name for a block flute)

Those bows tho....they give a whole new definition to the term "shredding"

There was no smoke machine on that stage. The smoke came from the frictions from the bows.

This video starts slow and builds for five minutes...At the 4 minute mark when they morph into God mode and to the end of the video....if your hearts not pounding ....IT NEVER WILL

Wanna be Rock stars or play they Cello? 2CELLOS: Yes!

So your hands are constantly moving, your heads are constantly bouncing, you stand up then sit down, now your feet are setting beats as well..... I can barely walk straight without tripping up on thin air. LEGENDS.

real metal-heads would never boo people playing classical music

Holy moley. For a long time I've been waiting to be caught off guard, wanting to find something musically that fills my heart with umph again. Its not easy, one finds oneself going over the same tracks one has heard a million times before and although its still great to listen, its also great to find something new. I found 2Cellos by accident last week and can't stop listening, each video is like opening a wonderful gift given by a stranger. They truly rock!

every time.. every freaking time i listen to this one... man, oh, man! it's brilliant, it gives me goosebumps. why can't I hit the like button more than once?

Proof positive that it is the musician, and not the instrument, that makes the experience.

Masters of 'HEAVY WOOD'!

One of the best piece EVER. I would also like a full version of the classical piece by 2 cellos, cause I love metal as much as classical, and their rendering of both are absolutely amazing.

Well, whenever I hear a classic metal song or piece covered with classical instruments, I have another proof that in the classical era, musicians were metal ones, just without electricity. We can see how violin and cellos can be compared with a modern metal guitar and a bass.

I never thought I would see a crowd surfing cellist. There is no more to see.

You know you're bad ass when you break your bow from playing so damn good.

Who is watching in 2024

There is this band called Iron Maiden. They did a cover of this song, it's pretty good.

With same speed of destroying bows I am afraid we will run short on horses

Meet 2CELLOS professional destroyers of bows =)

Just re-discovered this and realized that I had already left a like on it

I’ve watched this many times, I feel uplifted and grateful. These fabulous musicians bring joy years after they’ve gone their own ways.

HOLY FUCKIN' FUCK THAT'S AWESOME EVEN THE URL IS OMGING

The world is a much better place for having this

It took me a year to master the solo in guitar and seeing them playing on a cello better hurts

I have my math finals in 12 hours but I somehow ended up here after years of not listening to 2CELLOS

did anyone else feel like riding a horse into battle after listening to this?

Incredibly, you cannot even imagine how difficult it is to play the cello, especially this composition. BRAVO!!!

It never ceases to amaze me how these 2 cellists manage to sound like an entire 4+ member rock band.

Не только гениальные мальчики, но ещё с великолепным чувством юмора! Это потрясающе! Обожаю вас!

OMFG... this is the first time I have seen these two guys..... I am an INSTANT FAN! You guys ROCK!!

I'm 56 listening to the next level of hard rock..........these guys have nailed it. Is there another level after this????????????/

Croatia the core of genuine talent

GOD given talent. They blow me away... goosebumps everytime

That transition from classical to rock got me. That was pretty cool

Didn't realize the cello could also be so percussive

This satisfied the Trooper in me. Valhalla.

that bald guy in the front row is legendary

Why can't we get this talent highlighted here in the states instead of goofs mumbling along with pre-chewed beats? These guys rock!!!!!!!

I hope Iron Maiden has seen this

has anyone realized that the link to this video contains "omg"? Even RU-vid knows how amazing 2cellos is.

4:11 just magical. i have goosebumps

They make me smile when I don't feel like smiling.

No matter how many times I hear their music it's like the first time all over again. Legendary....living f*ng LEGENDS!

These gentlemen FINALLY made my darling bride realize that classical music WAS and IS heavy metal!!! FOREVER grateful!🙏🏼🙏🏼

At 4:12, when Stjepan starts going into his trance, gives me such goosebumps.

I remember back when this video had less than a million views, gosh how have they grown, so proud of them!

This guys rock harder than MANY of today's rock bands.

Парни вы просто супер). Ваше искусство просто чистое счастье.))

Pure genius! Only Stjepan and Luka could come with this winning combination. I bow to the cello master bows.

Who says you can't rock and be classic at the same time?

The faces, The poise, the precision of the classical intro, flawless, letting it fucking rip into the trooper, fucking exceptional, thanks dudes.

It's like you never want it to end.

Their bows at the start: We're always perfect. At the end: Almost everything is out of shape

good to see people still loves "classical rock" XD

As soon as 1:37 hit...Chills!! And that electric cello section? WOW!!!

Это просто потрясающее и великолепное исполнение! Для меня эта группа стала очень радостным открытием, удачи им и успехов!

Some random person: The cellos is only meant for classical music. 2CELLOS: Hold my beer.

So these two dudes literally day dreamed for 5 min straight. BEST DREAM EVER!

I hate this. Now every time I hear William Tell I keep expecting it to break into The Trooper...

It just goes to show any song eventually becomes a classic. I remember as a 15 year old girl in high school being shamed for loving Iron Maiden, and a local radio station DJ told me flat out this song would never be played on the air when I requested it in the summer of 1982. Ha!

Does anyone else just watch this every now and then to get this weird awesome feeling in your chest and to be awestruck by how amazing these guys are?

I love these guys, they're awesome! You know what'd be chaotic and great, them doing a System Of A Down song.

Was looking for a new taste in music, searched for best orchestra ever landed on this gem, not a single drop of regret.

Задача выполнена ПУБЛИКА ОБЕЗУМЕЛА !!!! БРАВО,ТАЛАНТЛИВО !!!!!!!!!!

Saw them on youtube and then in concert in Orlando. They have an amazing drummer to accompany them at times. Well worth the price of admission.

Apocalyptica and 2CELLOS are going to make the cello the new instrument for rock and metal bands.

I LOVED this. You know they are really into their playing and it reminds me of the 2 guys who play cello for Elton John. Wonder if these are the same. Thank You for posting this.

When your music teacher leaves the room for 5 minutes

Love this!!!! I’m 67 years old - best musicians I’ve heard in all my life!!

Bro if you guys play a little bit faster your bows will catch on fire

Duboki naklon za Luka Šulić i Stjepan Hauser, svakom pesmom i predstavom me oduševite još više. Vaša virtuoznost je iznad svega i daje novu dimenziju u svetu muzike. Pozdrav iz Srbije.

I absolutely love this rendition of the trooper!

They look like if Sam and Dean from supernatural played cello

I would pay for to see them in a concert. They're too good. Keep up the good excellent work.

Виолончель зазвучала ! Для меня точно)! Никогда не думал, что так !

Never underestimate any instrument,even if it looks dumb or boring,in the hands of the right ones it may be the most incredible instrument

As a metal head I cant begin to tell you just how much I appreciate these guys. Amazingly talented!!! Well done guys! 🖤🖤

The best cover of trooper i see in my life !

Four strings and a bow, used to call that deer hunting...now I call it music. Violent music.

There is nothing more metal than shredding on a cello while crowd surfing period

Always wondered what it would feel like to look at an instrument and think, "I'm going to make you scream."

HOW THE FRELL is it that 1200 people have given this a thumbs down?! These two are brilliant! Well done, gentlemen!

I find it amusing and awesome that the William Tell Overture and The Trooper are about the same thing: a Cavalry Charge. For those of you who aren't familiar with either song/pieces, the finale of William Tell describes a victorious Cavalry charge with William Tell living to tell the tale. Whilst the Trooper is about charge against the Russians (perhaps the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade?) that ends with uncertain outcome for the Trooper's Army but (spoilers) a sad end for the Trooper. I'd like to think that this mashup describes a cavalry charge from the eyes of young Cavalryman (either Lancer, Dragoon, Hussar etc.), triumphant and certain at first as William Tell plays but when the Trooper kicks in the battle truly begins, as the cavalry clashes with the enemy artillery and the infantry protecting them, perhaps they even clash with enemy cavalry. The song ends either with a victorious outcome albeit a hard won one for the Cavalryman or it ends with uncertainty as he dies as the battle continues around him.

Вау, вау...вот это мощь, сколько энергии. Браво💖! Когда человек талантлив, он талантлив во всем!

Short hair is Dean incarnate 😍😍

My mother who is nearly as 70 got me onto these guy's, absolutely f#$king awesome.

This performance still gives me goosebumps.

Damn, how many bows do you guys go through?

hotness in its simplest form.

Quiero decir que no hay nadie como vosotros,,,muchas gracias!!!!😌😌

I wish we could make these guys play these songs in Mozart time or something and see the reaction from the crowds. A simple concert from them would change music history forever.
