I had come across this video of a hip-hop and violin combination and thought it was good enough to merit some props. The guy on the violin is rather good, if a bit harsh on the violin. I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop, but it sounded good to my ears:
Unfortunately for him, though, I can't say he's exactly mind-blowing. Not when he had to compete with these four lovely and extremely talented ladies for that title in the world of music fusion:
The group is Bond, and the song they played there is "Duel". Probably the best sample of classical strings and pop music fusion that I've ever heard. If you want to see talent, you should see them cover "Korobushka":
It's not difficult to believe that there's an equivalent in other fields of music to Dragonforce, but thanks to the internet, I am able to witness it.
Here's a few of Bond's music videos:
"Shine"
"Explosive"
Amazing stuff...

I always love when they use
I always love when they use strings or instruments like the saxophone or flute in "regular" pop/rock music. They're awesome instruments. I heard of Bond before, too bad their last album is already 4 years old (excluding the compilation).
