# Rock and Roll Cellists 2Cellos 'Welcome to the Jungle' Rocks Guns N' Roses Classical Style By Matt Ho | Published 2011-06-15 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2cellos-welcome-to-the-jungle References: [theawesomer](http://theawesomer.com/welcome-to-the-jungle-cello-duet/107368/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AYEgwwCYWw) I don't think I've ever appreciated the cello as much as I have after watching 2Cellos 'Welcome to the Jungle.' So if you like rock and roll and classical music, you're gonna find out why these guys give Axl Rose and co. a run for their money. The 2Cellos 'Welcome to the Jungle' is an insane rendition of the infamous [Guns N' Roses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guns-n-roses-collectible) song off their [debut album, Appetite for Destruction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-electric-guitar-models). The notes and intensity these guys play at are mind blowing -- in fact, you can see their bows starting to slowly break apart as they play and head bang. The only thing missing was the solo, so hopefully [Slash will consider joining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibsons-certified-vintage-program) one day? This video is an absolute must-see for any fans of Guns N' Roses because it's insanely good -- and that's honestly still an understatement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Classical-rock Fusion:** The fusion of classical music and rock is on the rise, providing opportunities for disruptive innovation in music education and live performances. - **Non-traditional Instrument Use:** The use of non-traditional instruments in popular music is becoming more prevalent, opening opportunities for innovation in instrument design and manufacturing. - **Visual Performance:** The incorporation of engaging visual performances in music shows is growing, creating opportunities for innovation in stage design and technology. ### Who This Affects Most - **Music Education:** The fusion of classical and rock music can provide new opportunities for music educators to develop innovative curriculums and approaches to teaching music. - **Musical Instrument Manufacturing:** The increasing use of non-traditional instruments in popular music opens an opportunity for innovation in the design and manufacturing of musical instruments. - **Live Music Events:** Visual performance elements are becoming more important in live music events, presenting opportunities for innovation in stage design and technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exclusive Rock Band Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guns-n-roses-collectible.md) - [Limited-Edition Rock n' Roll Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grateful-dead-wines.md) - [Wild ’80s Rock Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/80s-rock-exhibit.md) - [3D-Printed Carbon Cellos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-carbon-cello.md) - [Acoustic Guitar Bows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickaso-guitar-bow.md) - [Reverent Rosewood Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosewood-guitar.md) - [Fashion-Forward Guitar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibson-and-marc-jacobs.md) - [Reimagined High-End Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highend-guitar.md) - [Shreddable Steampunk Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-guitar.md)
