Need Music Help - Rock Bands That Play With Orchestras?

Chainsaw13 · 08-19-2010, 07:49 PM

Two of my favorite bands that come to mind that play complex music are Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree. DT did a one off show with an orchestra for their 20th anniversary show. Look for their album "Score", it features the orchestra on half of it. Their newer stuff is more prog-metal, where their older stuff is less heavy, but all is very complex. PT has been likened to a modern day Pink Floyd. Steve Wilson, the founder, is a musical genius and has other projects that are in the same vein (Riverside, Blackfield). Check em out.
