What, you've never heard of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra?

Well then
Wikipedia wrote:
Trans-Siberian Orchestra (often abbreviated as TSO) is a rock orchestra founded by Paul O'Neill, Robert Kinkel, and Jon Oliva in 1996. The band's musical style is often described in different terms, incorporating progressive rock, symphonic metal, and heavy metal, with influences from classical music. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is well known for its renditions of traditional Christmas songs.

The have 4 major albums, 3 Christmas themed, and 1 of 'traditional' classical. I're working on having a new album for the summer of more non-Christmas music. Titled Night Castle, this one will have their rendation of "O Fortuna," which up till now you could only hear during their live shows and oh man is it awesome. This show tonight also featured an awesome Piano Duel. Also, a rock-orchestra version of Proud Mary.

They've played sold out live shown in my home town for over 5 years now, and every year the show is AWESOME. My city was the first to have TWO sold out TSo shows on the same day. We love us some TSO.

LOOK AT THIS AWESOMENESS!

The shows are long too, almost 3 hours of pure ROCK-AWESOMNESS.

Pictures are good, but MUSIC IS BETTER!

Wizards in Winter from that Regis show

Some Beethoven

Christmas Canon Rock This is just beautiful. Bring your lady. Cuddle.

Christmas Eve Over Sarajevo, their most famous song. It's so awesome they play it TWICE each show

Promises to Keep, one of my favorites of theirs

An Angel Returned, again one of my favorites

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING HOUSE!

Mad Russian's Christmas

O Fortuna

If you get the chance, GO SEE THEM, THEY ARE FUCK AWESOME.

    this guy no longer does that on his street, he has a huge setup and he charges $10 a car...you park and tune in with your car radio and he does 3 house setups at a time...they just build frames that look like houses and put lights on them

    My criminalistics professor last year came to class one day. This dude is pretty old but he's a pretty spry guy.

    He came in and was all, "Have you people ever heard of this Trans Siberian Orchestra? Holy crap. I saw these guys last night, it's like Christmas music mixed with Metallica, it. was. AWESOME."

    I had known about them for years but he made me laugh.

    They did a good overture of 1812 cover I guess.

    It takes all the good parts and ramps it up in a condensed 3 minute version.
