The talented duo of 2CELLOS performs a cover of the iconic rock song, ‘Thunderstruck.’
This popular tune was released by AC/DC in 1990. Decades later, this single has truly stood the test of time and become a hard rock classic.
Today, ‘Thunderstruck’ is getting a cello makeover and it’s absolutely incredible. 2CELLOS is a Croatian cellist pair made up of Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser. These two have performed all over the world with their incredible blend of original and cover songs.
They formed in 2011 and became a household name when their YouTube covers started to go viral. Both men are classically trained but they also incorporate rock elements into their numbers. In 2015, 2CELLOS released a cover of ‘Thunderstruck’ on their album, ‘Celloverse.’
Once the music video was released, it immediately went viral. In fact, the YouTube video has over 140 millions now. At a recent concert, the duo performed a live rendition of their smash hit and it’s so incredible to watch.
There is so much talent and skill in every single movement. And, somehow, they can create a rock vibe with just the use of their cellos.
I think their unique sound is the perfect compliment to this classic song. It gives ‘Thunderstruck’ an entirely new feel while still retaining the best elements that we all know and love.
The duo has certainly proved that they are a band like no other and I’m definitely looking forward to what they do next. What did you think of this cello makeover?
