Both of them took skill, but in my opinion the first one was terrible because the distortion made the violin sound nothing like a violin. The second one was fantastic, sounds amazing but it does sound like a violin insted of a more generic metal sound.
There's also a song on Third Day's newest album that has an electric violin solo w/ some mild distortion on it. Sorry I can't remember which song though... It sounds pretty sweet though.
Once you have an electric violin, electric viola, electric cello or electric upright bass or an acoustic instrument with a pickup, you are only half ready to be heard! The other half of your sound comes from the amplifier. Get a mismatched amp and your great tone suddenly sounds tinny or distorted.
