= an unexpected gem of coolness from some guy in Brazil: "The Trooper," like you've never heard before.
Nice.
ADDED: You know, this video is something that I think would really have been unexpected back in the day. When I was just getting into heavy metal back in the early 1980s, I already had an appreciation for some classical music. As time went on, I kept headbanging, but I also fully immersed myself into classical music, and I even learned a couple of instruments (classical guitar and some piano). I used to think that I was a little unusual in my fondness for both musical styles, but nowadays -- especially given this guy's get-up in the video -- not so much.

Probably not. I've heard it said before that thrash metal, at least, was at its heart classical music played with electric guitars. Consider this: "Creeping Death" on cellos.
Wow. Those cellos sound really cool playing "Creeping Death." Very nice.
And here's actual proof that heavy metal got its start in the early 18th century.
