Orchestrock is (to put it simply) a combination of Rock instruments (heavy guitar, drums ect ect) played with a live orchestra.

The occurance of this type of music has been rising as of late, and a first example that would come to mind would (at least) be Nobou Uematsu's "Black Winged Angel" with his own band "The Black Mages" for the CGI movie "FFVII- Advent Children".

Kaizer's Orchestra is a Norweigan rock band. The sextet is known for their unique sound and amazing live shows, which often involve playing on empty oil drums. Their lyrics deviate from the usual themes of love and relationships, and tend to lean more toward themes of revenge, russian roulette, and fighting. Many of their songs are also about certain characters, who tend to show up in several songs on an album. One of the most common symbols of the band is a gas mask, an article which is always worn by one member of the band.

Singing without a live orchestra or band. Originally meaning "without orchestra," it is a combination of Japanese "kara" meaning "empty/bare-handed" as in "karate", and the "okee" sound from the first syllable of "orchestra" as pronounced by Japanese.

PIT=AMAZING

giving up your life to live in a hole in front of the stage. most amazing experience ever. crazy stuff happens in that wonderous hole that none of the actors know about; theyre all jealous that they dont get to sit in a hole for infinite amount of hours. many friendships are created and you are left with some of the best memories of your life. when pit's over its extremely depressing and you miss every thing about it =(
