Monday Wake Up Call

The best flamenco cover of METALLICA's "Orion" you'll ever hear!

Posted on January 12th, 2009

rodrigo_y_gabriela200I hate being hungover on a Monday morning. Last night, Frank and I checked out Skeletonwitch and Cannabis Corpse. The show was awesome and expect some sick live footage in the near future. Since my ear buds are still coming down from the thrashing they received, I thought I'd listen to undoubtedly the most metal flamenco band of all time, Rodrigo y Gabriella. This acoustic duo have cited metal bands like Metallica and Testament as major influences. They even jammed with Testament guitarist Alex Scolnik. On their self-titled release, they included a brilliant acoustic cover of Metallica's Orion. Check it out below.

    You're right, they aren't. Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero are their names according to Wikipedia.
