///// The Human Abstract - Antebellum (Piano Cover)

[prowrestler904]

waouh !! great !!

[TheCarloscalavera]

you are amazing,i hope play this :D

[MrROFLKNIFE]

I think this is without exaggeration my favorite cover of any song, done by anyone. So much respect for this, the word beautiful hardly does your playing any justice

[alexatetris]

@MrROFLKNIFE Thank you. You are very kind.

[LeftyGuitar45]

this is magical :D thank you for being such an avid THA fan to do this! <3

[TomConger]

I was just talking to my friend about whether classical composers would appreciate metal like this, nowadays. We concluded that they might, if it were translated into piano. Sooo... thanks for making this. Already posted to his FB.

[alexatetris]

@TomConger There is no doubt in my mind had the likes of Bach and Liszt been around today, they would be progressive metal enthusiasts!

[TensaZangetsu1200]

I listen to both at the same time!

[10DOM12]

I am in such a state of euphoria listening to this rendition I don't think you can comprehend.

[frashardcore]

Omg omg omg omg omg ....! ... no words.... *___*

[mattcantthinkofname]

favorite song by my favorite band and this is almost as amazing as the real song. this is such an inspiration for me thank you! Maybe one day I will also create a full Human Abstract cover...

[greenbeaner69]

...they broke up :'(

[alexatetris]

@greenbeaner69 I know, it really is tragic considering how far they've come. There is always hope though. I'm sure they'll all go on to do great things.

[greenbeaner69]

@alexatetris ya i can't wait to see the next project aj is in. or any of them (besides travis)

[alexatetris]

@greenbeaner69 I would so hoping they would do another album with ryan devlin as their studio vocalist.. gahhh that kid's voice is amazing

[greenbeaner69]

@alexatetris ya i listen to a lot of corelia now haha

[irvy123]

@alexatetris SERIOUSLY. Him in Corelia is awesome, but if he were in THA, they would have warped the space-time continuum with their greatness. Plus, he was so much better than Travis live.

[alexatetris]

@irvy123 Totally agree with everything you just said. He's so talented. When I saw them live this year, I felt so dumb .. they were chillin at the merch table and I was so in awe all I could muster was.. "uhhhhh so when are you guys going on…" Like SERIOUSLY. I don't know what was going on in my head, but what I really wanted to say was HOLY SHIT YOU ARE SO AMAZING WHEN IS CORELIA TOURING

[MTN707]

Wow!

[CrushedToTheDepths]

Oh my holy jesus

[Twixgtx]

Favorite part around 4:35 amazing!

[hshiram]

Downloading <333333333333333

[Kwestschions]

amazing. Simply amazing

[clantosa]

omfg amazing cover. good job keep up the playing. The piano is a beautiful instrument.

Can't stop listening to your covers im addicted lol!

[clantosa]

the funny thing is i listen to your covers of human abstract more than i do their actual album!

[WorthlessCapitalism]

also, youtube has finally let me upload my videos... patterns is there now and I'll have complex terms up soon

[WorthlessCapitalism]

beautiful, I just got done learning patterns... I think I'm gonna learn horizon to zenith next... which I also feel would sound beautiful on piano

[Shady32]

Amazing.

[p2psux5]

fucking awesome, I knew this would translate well to the piano and you play it perfectly. Really great job dude

[MetalGonza15]

oh dios mio, que hermoso me encanto como tocaste el cover de esta gran canción. Muy bueno.

[anyonecanplayguitar]

WOW you are AMAZING! like, SUPER TALENTED! after watching this, i'm embarrassed by my crappy radiohead covers. my hat's off to you, ma'am.

[EmbodimentOfTheDark]

Omg.. the sweeps were intense! Why didn't you do the last set of lead sweeping at the end of the song?

[alexatetris]

@EmbodimentOfTheDark I'm not sure really; I personally love the vocal melody/harmonies in the final chorus of the song, and if I had enough patience I would have tried to find a way to integrate the vocals into the sweeps for all the other choruses. Just wanted to change it up a bit I guess.

[rawcrunkkills777]

I am going to find a YouTube converter to iTunes just so I can own this song. I'd pay you good money for this, too. Thank you for lifting me off the earth for 7 minutes.

[amiablehacker]

Over one hundred likes and zero dislikes?!

That's amazing!! That's rare in YouTube videos!

You're amazing. :)

[RoastyisToasty]

"alexatetris", haha I see what you did there. I'm sure just about every straight guy out there knows who that's referencing. BTW, amazing job, as a huge THA fan, this brings tears to my eye. Keep up the being awesome.

[toxicapathy]

I usually come to these videos to laugh my ass off as I watch someone attempt to cover a song on an alternate instrument. Instead, I sat in shock as I listened to this.

[patrickb421]

i wish there were more people who did this with songs that i like because this is awesome. Perfect to study to i love it. Thank you.

[onnmyabs]

marry me.

[AntonGriffin]

It's fuckin' awesome

[greenbeaner69]

[b1oodjunk1ee]

So you can probably add another thousand views to this video. I'm sure I'm not the only one that used a program to put this into an mp3 and into their Itunes. I've pulled this out at parties and have even slow danced to it. Also started my morning off during my drive to work. This and your other piano covers.

[alexatetris]

@b1oodjunk1ee Wow, I certainly did not deserve that! You are too kind. Thank you, I really appreciate it and I am glad you enjoyed hearing it as much as I enjoyed learning it.

[ledzeppelin605]

HOLY CRAP, YOU ARE GOD.

[DreaKitten13]

this is beautiful!(:

do you have sheet music you could possibly send?(:

[alexatetris]

@DreaKitten13 nope, sorry my friend :(

[DreaKitten13]

@alexatetris

ohh well, its all good (:

keep up the playing you sound beautiful! (:

[RevJaWs]

@alexatetris

Do you not use YouTube enough to take a few minutes to make some or copy some to the internet for the thousands of people whom i'm sure would love to play this piece as well as you do. Or are you hoarding them for your own personal benefit of being the sole person you know that has them. Because god forbid in this "Small world" we live in you run into someone who learned it through you. And you have to awkwardly stand there and be like oh hey that's my shit btw.

Just sayin.

[IVIALJA]

@RevJaWs if you really want to play this, you can tab it out for yourself by searching the real tab for Antebellum, and then you can even give it your own intepretation. Just like she did.

It's not a 'few minutes' to tab this out, and there aren't 'thousands' of people who are able to play this, and who'd want this, only a handful. And lol, I don't think she's hoarding it for personal benefit. Your comment however, is.

[RevJaWs]

@IVIALJA Was in a creative writing mood and after hearing this piece i created some strange out-of-context message for shits n giggles. i also wrote a few good poems. lol

[alexatetris]

@RevJaWs I'm sorry, I don't even know what to say to this.

[vmtpgv]

Soothes the Soul

[pkConda]

Wow well done!

[MikeMCoreBTF]

<3.<3 perfect, perfecto, es simplemente hermoso <3

[Deathxcore18]

Did you know that A.J. from THA does guitar lessons over Skype? Definitely worth the money.

[WHTMBassist]

I think I fell in love with you...

[jcsnoopy]

Crapppp you're so good it's like the fact that I just watched what I watched you play makes you freaking interesting. You also have a sexy camera and piano.

Can you play the chorus in 4/4?

[alexatetris]

@jcsnoopy Yeah, the chorus was tough to translate trying to pick out the guitar over the vocal melody so it's pretty off lol. And my camera is my pride & joy in life <3 but my piano could use some work haha.

[jcsnoopy]

@alexatetris Still love you for this. ♥

[pulse4life]

How have you not been contacted to open their set yet? I'd pay you mad loot to be on tour with me if you covered my shit piano style. Nuff said.

[alexatetris]

@pulse4life Haha, you're too kind. I'd have an anxiety attack :P Do you have any samples of your work?

[stchums]

YOU DID IT!! congrats!

[arianfazlija]

this is bigger and much better than mozart, bethoven, bach and all the classical musicians !!! love it <3

[alexatetris]

@arianfazlija Hey! Don't joke around like that; those geniuses can't be topped. Not even close :P thanks my friend.

[juiceabuser]

@alexatetris I dunno, this song done on the piano is just.........epic! Love songs like this, it definitely belongs in a movie, with you playing it! You can tell that the band is classically influenced.

[EliteElment]

Jesus... You are amazing! And this has got to be the most beautiful thing to come into contact with my ears in ages..

[Beatheduck]

instant like + sub. It's amazing...speechless:D

[clanasobek]

it's a beauty :D

no. . not just a beauty. . it's an epic beauty. :D

it gave me a goosebumps when i hear it.!

aaah. . i'm really speechless to tell my feelings :D

[mrfharismula]

4:20 - 5:30 is HEAVENLY.

[alexatetris]

@mrfharismula Thank you! :') That was my favourite part to learn!

[irvy123]

@mrfharismula Seriously, I got goosebumps at that part.

[mrfharismula]

i am so impressed, so very much impressed. i know how you pray not to make mistakes in the middle of the song cause it really sucks repeating it.

[btbam1122]

Ever consider doing one of Between The Buried And Me's shorter songs?

[alexatetris]

@btbam1122 Indeed! I am currently looking into that. Or perhaps some of the songs off Tommy Roger's solo album.

[sadpandaxx]

I just put up my cover of this song I can't top yours though

[alexatetris]

@sadpandaxx I knowww!! I saw it in my sub box and I was like omg can't wait to watch this! :D

[Destroysall]

My Lord, I've never teared so much, beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trivium4266]

Very beautiful. I think I'm in love <3. Do you have any sheet music?

[alexatetris]

@Trivium4266 No, sorry! You could try guitar pro?

[Trivium4266]

@alexatetris I use sibelius. It's better than guitar pro. Thanks anyways :)

[alexatetris]

@Trivium4266 hmm really? maybe I'll give that a shot

[Trivium4266]

@alexatetris Yea it's specifically for piano and orchestral instruments

[StewieSwan]

Best one you've done so far. Loved every second of it.

[sadpandaxx]

That was amazing! I'm trying to cover this song right now, it's really difficult. But you are really good

[alexatetris]

@sadpandaxx thank you! and good luck :) link me when you're done!

[StephGarc]

Hello, you are amazing.. 

[shockandawe123]

I would love to see digital veil ahahaha

[PorcelainSpider]

Thank you for taking the time to hone your craft and show that the piano is still one of the finest instruments on earth. You are a wonderful performer and it is only fitting that this be the final song shared on my wall in today's playlist. Thank You!

[irvy123]

Last DV cover? Nooooooooooooooooo!

[alispie]

I see you actually wrote this one out.

[alexatetris]

@alispie nope, too much effort haha. that's a debussy piece.

[Nickels53]

@alexatetris Debussy is amazing!

[LisandroAndres]

[how2pingu]

[odie0220]

blown away !!  awesome !!!

[Avl521]

Wow... just wow... You are simply unbelievable. Thank you so much for all the Digital Veil songs you did, they were all simpliy amazing!

[erockerock238]

It is refreshing to see someone that interprets rather than straight up copy. I really enjoy the liberties you took with it like the ritardandos and dynamics. Faith in metal fans, restored

[hammvigor]

this was breathe taking

[EpsilonX]

excellent

[bradchuba]

You are incredible. Really. Watched all THA covers...Bravo:)

[HellomayIseeyourtits]

Amazing cover, can't imagine how hard this must have been to transcribe..

Check out my guitar cover of the song if you want please.

[tristanmarmont]

So glad you did this song... This is my favourite from the album! <3

[b1oodjunk1ee]

posted it on the Human Abstract facebook haha. You're bound to get some views there!



[b1oodjunk1ee]

Yess!! I've been waiting very impatiently!! haha

[colinoneal]

i would love to do a project together some day. maybe take some music you do and i'll paint something to it and see what we come up with. But keep up with the videos, you're really amazing

[alexatetris]

@colinoneal :') that would be wonderful.

[Nickzed]
