There are some good orchestra's; ELO for example. And there's metallica's S&M.

And you should definitely check Ayreon out if you haven't already. It's all by the same composer (who happens to be from the Netherlands), and got quite some orchestral pieces. Right now, his rock-opera is 12 hours long though.

Metallica S&M deserves another mention, its one of my favorite live albums of all time just because of the symphony.

Also: Kiss Alive IV, or better known as KISS Symphony, absolutely worth the listen.

Apocalyptica (main instruments are classical), Epica(orchestra parts are done on keyboard), and Trans-Siberian Orchestra(full orchestra + rock instruments). All are Symphonic Metal.

Here's a big list of Symphonic Metal if you like the above:

T3HM3T4L:I've tried to sign up for Rock Band but they just won't allow me. They keep complaining I have to 'be over 18' while I've already been 18 for over half a year, and a sign up where I noted I was born in the '50s STILL GAVE ME THAT MESSAGE

So if anyone could help me get these templates, I'd very much appreciate it. I need it to edit notes and stuff for my Rock Band 2.

aander91:Sorry, but that'd be providing for minors, which is illegal.

T3HM3T4L:But I'm 18 years old... ?

aander91:Nope. Sorry.

T3HM3T4L:Nono, you're getting me wrong, I was asking how come I am still considered a minor?

aander91:Look, we can't just go out giving these things away to people who just say they're over 18 and show no proof, we'd be out of a job.

T3HM3T4L:Nevermind, I'll use EoF for it, I found the way I could use it for that.

Also, Within Temptation does live stuff with REAL orchestra if that's what you are looking for.

X Japan did an entire album where they converted their albums into symphony pieces (Symphonic Blue Blood). A lot of their stuff in general has symphony behind it. Here's one of the epics (there is one version that is only "classical" and this version that also has guitars and vocals and drums etc).



A Silver Mount Zion and Godspeed You! Black Emperor are both basically small orchestras.

The band Rage made an album called XIII that uses orchestra often, particularly in the "Changes" trilogy section. Other albums by them with large orchestra sections include "Lingua Mortis (And The Symphonic Orchestra Prague)" and "In Vain" They also have a live album called "Metal Meets Classic."

Gastunk has an orchestra track or two on "Midnight Rain"

Rhapsody has "Symphony of Enchanted Lands" which actually has some vocal symphony parts too.

Really? My brother has that CD, and I haven't heard anything symphonic(of what I did hear). Maybe I'll have to check it out later.

I think it was called the Exogenesis Symphony or something? It had 3 parts I believe, and one part was written for a movie (The International?).

Yup

"Exogenesis Symphony" (parts 1 through 3)

Prog rock often makes use of orchestra.

Hurmmm... can't really think of many more...

I know there are some I know. Goddamnit.
