Even though this track is credited to TSO, it's identicle to the origional version which first appeared on Savatage's "Dead winter dead" in the early 90's. No matter - it's freakin' brilliant no matter what!
It starts all sweet and gentle and then BANG - it kicks you in the face! A perfect example of what can be achieved when a metal and and and orchestra play together and play song that were written with BOTH in mind.
Metallica's S&M totally failed because they just played thier usual songs and treated the whole orchestra as one big backing instrument. The Scorpion with the Berlin Philharmonic was a thousand times better because all the songs were re-scored for band AND orchestra.
