As a guitarist and a violinist, I love orchestrations if they're done right. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is quite possibly the best combination of rock and classical. In fact, I was just at one of their concerts at the Patriot Center on Wednesday, so awesome. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I'll have to go back and listen to "Going Under" cause I don't see what the fuss is about. The piano is a nice addition, contrast with the other instruments but a blend with the vocals, same thing with the orchestra. As long as it blends with something then it's cool with me. Amy Lee's voice mixes very well with orchestrations and I think to make the band actually work, they need to be there, because it would always be a complete contrast between her and the guitar and bass and it would eventually turn out to be annoying. Like I said, if it's done right, yeah, it's awesome, but if not then I wanna put my .357 to my temple just to get the noises out.
