Metallica - S&M
On paper, Metallica working with The San Francisco Symphony (conducted by Michael Kamen) shouldn't work
In practice, Metallica working with the San Francisco Symphony doesn't work
It is a boring concert, and I found myself jumping from song to song
Musically, they are just too different - the bombastic thrash of one band is completely at odds with the musical subtlety of the other
Kudos to Metallica for trying something different, but to my mind, the experiment was a failure
Some bands can get away with this - the orchestral pairings with KISS and Rush spring to mind, but their music is much more suited to something like this
