The new 2Cellos video sees the duo taking their instruments to a rock club where they play a hybrid of Rossini and Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper'.
2Cellos' latest video, released earlier today and called 'The Trooper Overture', shows the hard-rockin' duo taking on a rock club audience with a mash-up of Rossini's William Tell Overture and metal legends Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper'.

There is also crowd-surfing
This cannot be good for your instrument:

Obviously there are no cellos on this one. It is, therefore, ever-so-slightly diminished in our estimation.
