Green Day String quartet tribute?

The thought came across my mind and i can't help wondering if anyone has found a tribute to green day. If not, what are some other good string quartet tributes?

There's a version of radioheads ok computer out there on the web. I've heard a few tracks but one listen was more than enough.

There is a string tribute to Tool called 'Third Eye Open' that I thought was pretty cool. Also Apocalyptica (an all cello quartet) has an album of all Metallica covers that is cool.

I heard their version of 'Creeping Death', and it was pretty cool.

The funniest string tribute I've ever seen, but never heard, was a string tribute to Slayer. One of the least melodic famous metal bands ever.

No- they get my interest because their singer and guitarist are considwerably more talented than most in their genre-
- It seemed like eleveator music.

errr, sorry, my people got my sources mixed up. Trust me, several interns will be severely beaten, starved and burned with coffee.

Gia = Screamo

Again... I apologize for any problems this may have caused.

actually i prefer to be labelled trip-pop/noise rock at the moment.

i think the blame lays with the management this time MATT TILL.
you'll be hearing from my team of very powerful lawyers within the hour.

Upon chatting with your powerful lawyers, I've decided to see it their way... "Yes, Trix are for kids."

I won't be a bother any longer...

Just two days ago I got "Anotomica" - a SECOND string quartet tribute to Tool. Two-disc set featuring The Section (Bass, Viola, Violin, Electric Violin) and the Da Capo Players (Bass, Cello, Viola, Violin) [-forgive me if those details are backward]. Not bad, kinda tough to get used to as sometimes the vocal melody isn't phrased exactly "accurate", but quite a few of the tracks are good. Very raw string sounds on 75% of it.

String Quartet does Green Day? Pshaw!
