The duo of 2Cellos have teamed up with pianist Lang Lang to perform an instrumental cover of Paul McCartney's classic song "Live And Let Die." Odds are, you've never heard the song performed in this way. You can watch their amazing rendition above.
They start off with relaxed playing, then gradually build to the song's main riff. Pianist Lang Lang adds a colorful element to the tune while the cello's replace the vocals by adding sympathetic notes. The video finds the three sitting on Lang Lang's piano bench, and during the intense moments, playfully bump each other. When you think of rock instruments, a piano and cello don't normally come to mind. This performance may change that perception.
McCartney's original version of the song was featured on the soundtrack to the James Bond film of the same name in the '70s. Guns N' Roses also did a pretty kickass version in the '90s.
