Rocking out loud on the violin never sounded so good!

Anybody know the real version???

Thank you for posting the videos! I particularly enjoyed "Canon Rock Final"

The original tune "Pachelbel's Canon in D Major" was from a German Composer Johann Pachelbel. Pachelbel died in 1706.

The composition became popular again during the 1970's. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra released a song with lyrics entitled "Christmas Canon" in 1998 written by songwriter Paul O'Neill based on the tune of Pachelbel. In 2004 the Trans-Siberian Orchestra released "Christmas Canon Rock" on the album "Lost Christmas Eve". I have not yet seen an earlier rock version.

First one: Outstanding! I usually don't care for virtuosity for its own sake, but I gotta admit, this guy is mighty good at the language of the guitar.

Second one: Couldn't make it through the whole video. Too annoying. Indulgent. Yuck. Sorry.

Third one: Ok.. well.. I don't know... maybe....... nah..., zzzzzzzzz...

(Don't mind me; I'm just an ex-composer / so-called musician myself.)

Well, anyway, here's the real one:

Thank You Granny! thats so awesome that you know all the intel! Thank you for sharing that! and for your taste! and espically for not leaving me in the dark with this obsession!


Hi Jongleur,
Thats Great that your an ex-composer! So you can recognize a beautiful melody from a mile a way Im sure!
I definitely enjoyed Funtwo's version, and the original was just beautiful and the third, err lol it was pretty funny, he kinda reminds me of Demetri Martin, fantastic stand up, terrible television show. Here's one I think you'll find to your liking, this artist is absolutely tasteful
For you too Granny!
