do the songs on the S&M album by Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. If so, my favourite is nothing else matters from that album.

 

The song Reing by UNKLE featuring Ian Brown, not so sure about another one.

 

S&M does indeed rock. First heard it when I was using it for a psychology experiment. Its what got me into Metallica.

Nothing else matters was actually what caused the whole thing, incidentally. Metallica wanted some orchestral backing for the song (which you can kind of hear when listening to it), and whilst they were doing it, they conductor suggested they do a concert.

Apparently he heard nothing of it for about 10-15 years, then their agent phoned up one day, and told him 'Metallica want to do it'. He replied 'Do What?'.

Its a fantastic album though. If they ever did it again, I would be sorely tempted to go along - probably one of the few times id be tempted to go to a proper gig.

 

wow some brilliant examples already my fav from S&M is is no leaf clover, what about any rammstein track or joachim witt's Abendrot.

 

oh yea orgy's cover of blue monday, or any clawfinger song (clawfinger are right at the top of my all time fav bands)!

biggest the best, better than the rest, better than the rest chug chug chugachuga!!!!

 

If it's two genres colliding, both have gotta be from the soudtrack to Judgment Night

Faith No More & Boo Yaa TRIBE - Another Body Murdered
Mudhoney & Sir Mix-A-Lot - Freak Momma

Incidentally Dales, Clawfinger were the first live big band I ever saw, as a spotty 13 year old in Brizton Academy, they were first on in supporting Alice In Chains, bought their album immediately afterwards

 

I agree that's one of my favourites Unkle -Never Never Land

Ian brown (also known from The Stone Roses)

The other one - DJ shadow with Mos Def - Six days

 

My two favourite 2 collaborations, I suppose they are genre-crossers:

UNKLE featuring Thom Yorke: Rabbit In Your Headlights
Massive Attack featuring Mos Def : Eye Against Eye (from the Blade 2 soundtrack)

The UNKLE track has an absolutely crazy video, well worth a youtube viewing.

 

I think that video one an award, it really freask you out when you see that car hit that bloke!

 

Actually now I think about it, March of Death with DJ Shadow and Zach de la Rocha from Rage against the machine is better the pair I have just put down Really angry anti-war record released after the Iraq invasion. Plus it was free to download when it first came out!!

 

I notice there's a lot of posts that show artist who are rap with rock bands.

If you like this combo then I can highlt recommend Judgement night a soundtrack taken from the film:- Judgement night with Emilio Estevez
it's got artist such as Pearl Jam with Cypress hill; Faith no More with Boo Ya Tribe; Helmet with House of Pain
Slayer with Ice-T; Biohazard with Onyx!

 

Is that on the album The Outsider?

 

Oh Nuts! I have just seen that post!

 

I wish it was on the outsider!!! That album is appalling. The DJ shadow I know and love is no more I'm afraid. Entroducing is my favourite album I've ever heard. March of death was a free mp3 when it was issued so you don't need to worry about your ISP snooping on your illegal downloads!!, google the track name, you should be able to find a copy of it.

 

Am I right in thinking they were the total nutters who play classical instruments in a heavy metal style? If so they were very entertaining when I went to see Rammstein. Perfect support act for them really and it's not often that support acts are any good at all. (IMO)

 

I'd have to say, currently in my collection, taht gets played often, are Hayseed dixie. They do country covers of POison by ALice Cooper, and Ace of Spades by Motorhead. Its quite cool really, and definatley crosses genres.
