Rock n Roll w/Strings


IMO, this is generally a terrible idea.
But....when done right (a rarity, IME), it can be great (per the attached clip).
Anyone else have recommendations along this line.

The rock group Kansas. Not quite rock and roll but Jon Luc Ponty and Andreas Vollenweider did quite well with strings.
I don't know if you would consider this Rock N Roll w/ Strings but here is my contribution.

Apocalyptica featuring Corey Taylor - I'm Not Jesus

I think Alejandro is one of the most gifted song writers performing today. If you don't have "Room of Songs," you are in for a treat. The "Boxing Mirror" also rocks.As far as rock and roll bands with violin players go, my favorites are the Dixie Dregs (I like Dregs of the Earth) and Roxy Music. The violin solo from Out of the Blue on Roxy's Country Life is a classic. Roxy Music Live from 2001 has some tasty violin work as well.
appaloosa-(s/t)....the new york rock and roll ensemble-faithful friends...both are incredible.
