I know alot of you guys in here have very extensive knowledge. I've always thought combining a band with a symphonic orchestra is a sick idea and out of this world cool when done properly but I am having a hard time finding many bands who have done this. Any help?

Metallica and the San Francisco symphony orchestra record S&M together, the Tea Party recorded a song with a small orchestra called "Psychopomp", the black metal bands Behemoth and Cradle of Filth often record albums with an orchestra (CoF loves the Budapest symphony orchestra) but I think that's only on select songs, and my brother wrote an arrangement for his high school band for Bohemian Rhapsody (he played guitar) for rock band/orchestral accompaniment.

TSO (Trans Siberian Orchestra) does it. Metallica did it with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Probably stuff you've already heard, but they're all I can think of off the top of my mind.

I've been thinking about it, but I can't come up with anything else right now. When I do, though, I'm gonna toss em in here.

It was a cool idea, but his voice annoys the shit out of me.

Serj is one of the most talented vocalists to come out of music in the past ten or so years.

Rock You Like a Hurricane 2000 was with an orchestra.

Yngwie Malmsteen played with the Japanese Philharmonic.

November Rain had an orchestra for the music video I think, or it at least had a string section.
