Vitamin String Quartet‘s ‘Paint It Black’ was featured on the new HBO series Westworld this week — Season 1, Episode 1, “The Original” — during the shootout scene, and it is just about the coolest piece of string quartet music I have ever heard.
Because Vitamin String Quartet’s version of ‘Paint It Black’, while still a cover tribute to the Rolling Stones, has a grandeur to it that doesn’t really exist in the original.
As for Vitamin String Quartet, they are a Los Angeles-based group that plays mainly tribute music to a huge variety of different artists. In the past, they have covered songs from Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse, Of Monsters and Men, Black Sabbath, Simple Plan, Queen and a slew of others. Some of their work has also appeared in other TV series.
