Oblivion - Mastodon - Piano Cover

[rosajanerocks]

This is fucking amazing man, please make other videos! :D

[metalh3dd]

That's amazing man.

[mongrel420]

now play the drums part on your piano

[Buli0n]

I used to search piano Oblivion theme clip, but then i took this to my ears.

[DeadInLA]

The fact that anybody can dislike this video proves to me that ignorance is, unfortunately, very much alive and well. Bravo! Well done. You have brought a very different side of Mastodon's music to life. Thank you.

[Detox259]

This is sexy. I love it.

[Darkdeeds396]

This is positively phenomenal. I would have never thought that it could be converted in such a masterful way. Well done, and I envy your skill!!

[Sunchild333]

Well done! But the chorus isn't in Fmaj7 as you play it but Dm9. Still works for me though.

[akalso2000]

That is so freakin cool. Haha never thought of this one in piano! Cool if a church was playin stuff like that and house of the rising sun haha

[Hauntedundead]

0:58 GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS xD

[Soulmessiah]

wow..that chorus part is so beautiful :D you ve got an awesome taste in music and skills...this is so amazing. Thx for your cover on this stunning song!

[NetherBrightness]

absolutely genial

[madcow982]

i showed this video to my guitar and it cried and slapped me

[avenuex84]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!..mozart couldve wrote this

[MayerKingZ]

Mother of God this was awsome!!

[BleedingtheFreak]

This is so beautiful it makes me want to fucking cry.

[majorblood87]

@BleedingtheFreak Wow your a pussy. awesome song though. She can really play.

[californialove05]

Freaking amazing!

[BitterBosh]

Brilliant! Very, very well done!

[jacksin666]

I believe I am in love

[MaggitJef]

Jeebus, I was stressed as Hell today... But I think I might just love you for this cover... That was simply amazing, your arrangment is perfect. Thanks so much for putting this up ^__^

[zajac1661]

great cover. Sounds awesome on piano. Really catching the nuances of all the string instruments and voicing. 

[megleyd]

really cool



[cannibalkid2]

The chorus part (brent starts singing ) sounds so damn beautiful

[zachbchico]

brings a damn tear to my eye

[DarthSivius]

could you do a cover of sleeping giant, by the same band?

that would be awesome :)

[o0ShadowsfeaR0o]

When I first heard the intro I was kind of skeptical on how it would turn out. But after it started I just dropped my jaw in amazement.... Amazing!

[KetaRice]

Awesome!

[chewtube20ten]

Genuinely lovely

[chewtube20ten]

Hey guys, maybe this song is a lonely leafs reminiscence at the onset of a final autumn, the old breathy springs.. the shimmering summers.. the shattering winters.. and the bittersweet realisation that although a leaf can never be fully contented in life in ways that other souls can, it is better to be part of a tree than to be a fallen leaf in the dirt and muck of the gutter being chewed by slugs and woodlice and scorpions.

[cdenise138]

this is soooo awesome!!! is there anyway that i can get the music sheet for this?!!

[mashafasha5]

This is officially one of my favorite songs ever. Your cover I mean... it's just wayy to epic to sum up in one comment. I stumbled unto this while making my own guitar cover... thanks for the different point of view.

[bfmvFTW1789]

damn nice! ^_^

[kart1611]

absolutely amazing, great work!

[Gurjiani]

Super!!!!

[acidburnben]

Excellent rendition of a godlike song

[RyTrapp0]

absolutely extraordinary! fantastic playing and without a doubt one of my favorite songs.

i don't think there's any better testament to a modern musicians talent and skill than hearing their work transfer over seamlessly and beautifully to traditional/classical instruments! 'Mastodon' are of course seen as amazing progressive metal musicians, but this truly proves that not only are they extraordinary musicians, but legitimate composers of the 21st century!

[Bromethias]

insanely well, i envy you :)

[Jay0neDE]

outstanding performance

[Metallicuz]

I randomly listen to this every once in a while, and it always baffles me as to how beautiful it is when played through this instrument. Truly a statement to Mastodon's writing abilities and this musicians ability to translate music. Bravo

[EskimoBobTLF]

Quite beautiful.

[Mataglio]

Nice

[IcarosWing]

This is amazing. o_o I can't stop listening to this over and over again.

[PatriciaTavaresDW]

do you have the music sheets?

Thank you,*

[Cha0sJester]

Loved it.

Great job!

[CheerForTearzah]

gaawwwww magical aahhh so so great :D

[Blindgodbih]

one of my most favorite songs ever, if not THE most favorite! great cover! it takes a bit till the feeling gets one, but once the pre-chorus hits, goosebumps are guaranteed! really great cover, i love how u managed not to screw up, but to catch the whole atmosphere of the song :) i have to check out your channel!

[steelwebspider]

this is Awesome, fair play! :) :) :) I'm tryna work out Nothing Else Matters on the harp, tis missions! :S you should get someone to duet it with you tho, you need more hands for Mastodon (I do for Metallica! lol) :) Apocalyptica should seriously do this song...

[wulfbaen1993]

Anyone else think the intro should be played in a castle amidst the thunder and rain?

[metalgrl11]

just blew my mind!



[ElDracul]

...I just came :p

[Heka41]

wow...thats awesome...great job

[tsyrlb]

straight up thug. you must be the hottest piano playa eva!

[enmybi]

F#$% speechlees... awesome!

[ADRENECHROME420]

Wicked job dude. Love how u followed the melody so well. Truly inspiring.

[mikegleeson666]

Could listen to this on repeat all day :)

[jedjed666]

Miss, this happens to be the first time I ever 'clapped' at a YouTube video.

[TheLastBaron16]

This is amazing! It really captures the atmosphere of the original song

[KeithFoskeyMusic]

I play music for a living. I sing and play several instruments. I discovered this video about two weeks ago and I have listened to it every single morning as I wake up and turn on music. First thing in the morning, it's all crap to me. I have to find something truely magnificent to inspire me. Thank you for figuring this song out and posting a fine example of your hard work and talent.

[godrink69]

10 people are deaf!! such a beautiful cover! awesome girl!

[onedudedynasty]

Wow...

[6666soul999]

eres la ley el metal en piano suena super cabron sigue asi y por fabor saca mas de amon amarth saludos des de cuernavaca morelos MEXICO ----you rock -----

[ioannis123456789]

fantastic! wonderful cover!

p.s your name has Greek origins, do you have ancestors from there;

[Tantriccc]

you should do a tutorial!

[forgottendagon]

My favorite mastodon song. Absolutly beautiful on piano. Good job

[gnrcr]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nbwatki]

that is dope.

[fredsik]

you should do more mastodon songs! I cant even describe the motions going on right now!

[dinoBMXidiot]

really nice, keep at it (maybe Swim to the moon from BTBAM?)

[silvyadav]

YOU'RE FUCKIN' GREAT!

[TheShoobes]

This might be alot to ask, but could you do this cover again, but with the camera above the piano , so I could se how you are playing and learn?

thank you, even if you dont :)

[kelvinever]

GOOOD!!!!

[kelvinever]

AMAZING...!!

[jst2909]

good shit, girl!

[123456789pig]

Inspirational, keep at it

[SuperToother]

well hot damn. i feel as though i should have paid for this. very very nice *thumbs up*

[Camhunt1992]

THE MELODY IN THE CHORUS IS TOTALLY THE WRONG KEY AND ITS DRIVING ME INSANE

[tsyrlb]

@Camhunt1992

looks like the key of C to me?

[zackypooofillinois]

@tsyrlb they play in drop c to d standard so i assume your right

[DrinkingRazorBlades]

i can defiantly see why people could dislike this... they really dont see the art and beauty of it. Im glad my mom introduced me to classical at a early age so i could like it and accept it. Great work!

[Abfallkannibale]

It's my favourite song from Mastodon! Your cover just like... Wow... I can't discribe the feelings inside me right now! :-D

It's just stunning.

Greetings from germany ^^

[DevilMCkinnon]

"Pendulous Skin" would be a beautiful cover on the piano!! You should really consider sending this to the band and see if you could get a clearance to do a piano tribute album for the band. It doesn't get much better than this~

[wkorn89]

can you play sleeping giant of mastodon?

estimate from italy

[johnnymfapplecore]

@shredder731 You too, eh?

[BrianCRX90]

incredible! That was memorizing.

[juicerooster]

that is the coolest thing i've seen today! fuckin awesome i wish i could play the piano.

[SuicideAlexis]

Amazing Cover. I loved every part of it honestly. This paticular piece of music in my opinion is one of the most genius songs created, and seeing it on piano is awesome. Good job!

[ryanthemadman1]

HOW COULD PPL NOT LIKE THIS!?!?

[freakin1random]

very good. you should tune that thing lol. i play mallet percussion so i guess im spoiled.

[ALUxoxo]

@freakin1random

I know... my upright piano is very old now, so it goes out of tune very quickly. :/ I'm considering using my electric keyboard for future covers instead... The quality would probably be overall better, anyway.

[sweetlikeADAM]

@ALUxoxo Don't! I'd rather listen to an out of tune acoustic over an electric any day!

[TheOrderlyGuy32]

@ALUxoxo Please use M50? something like that electric keyboard its incredible. Tommy from Between the Buried and Me uses it. He also shows everything about it on a video here, search tommy rogers m50 or km50 or something like that. You would sound amazing with it. This is great at parts of the song but just not the right equipment.

[NineMMtylenol]

@ALUxoxo I second that, but it seemed that your overall tempo to the end of the song didn't slow down like the original song, or I just still have my YouTube goggles on.

[freakin1random]

@ALUxoxo lol yeah i liked it, if you cant keep it tuned then fuck it i like it that way haha

[WAEFlead]

@freakin1random It gives it that Mastodon feel. Like if I'm playing a dark prog song I'll have the reference on my tuner to like 443 Hz or something.

[RiseingAshes]

godamn impresive

[GhostBaker]

Awesome, keep up the good work!

[Wartooth95]

A beautiful twist to an already beautiful song.

[ElWeasle]

Mind-blowing, and a fantastic testament to the immense depths of many Mastodon songs.

[hellrazorbozz]

I STRONGLY agree, this song captures emotion on a VERY deep level. I enjoyed this piece of art. Metal could be yelling, growling but this was AMAZING as a cover. I hope to see more in the future because this has moved me VERY deeply.

Yours truly, Hell Razor Bozz

[cheezyboundy]

some1 needs to somehow show this to the mastodon guys, im sure they'd like it

[Dk1for4all]

Wow , you have really made a great job , Great cover bro ! keep it up :)

[lavweber]

Amazing!Keep up the good work!

[timelord1001]

nice one madame great song

[36cheese36]

awesome!

[teholdgreg]

Totally feel like I just got finished watching Inception, Shutter Island, and Salt all at once **MIND BLOWN** 

[jvaz122333]

that awesome... specially the begining

[PRod3002]

that was incredible!!!

[rockster07]

This is absolutely beautiful. I love hearing songs done in completely different directions, and I must say, you certainly did it justice. Even the weird trippy part about three minutes in, I would have guessed it would be incredibly hard to pull off on a piano, but you definitely pulled it off.

[MrChristian1792]

beautiful man you have talent

[dasenase]

Please do The Last Baron or Ghost of Karelia! I beg of you.

[DimebagDr91]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[akathasamurai]

Is this in 5/4???

[z50CALz]

this is so amazing im in awe right now

[drhogwash]

i'm sure the dudes from mastodon would love this.. awesome.. check out the "string tribute players" mastodon album some time

[Leomusicalheart]

uuu! nice job! you plat it cool!

[Dan3506]

Nothing short of UH-MAZING!!!! How are you not famous already?

[rylanejbrown1]

HOLLY PISS!!!!!!!! BEST COVER EVER!!!!!!!!!

[IncompleteShit]

You deserve Grammy and piece of Brent's beard.

[gzmack]

great cover...great song...

[drewbosshogg]

wow thats amazing!!! great job i really liked that

[Bombsiak]

insane ...

[jtack19791]

2 hands using 1 instrument to cover 3 different musical parts......Total fucking Wow with extra cheese....no wait. Double Rainbow all the way! :)

[TANWTS]

I thank you sir for the moment you gave to me with this amazing performance.

[ALUxoxo]

@TANWTS

"madame", and thank you :)

[killercroc99]

I dunno, but I think this would work for a Final Fantasy battle, as would an instrumental version.

[oxouk]

Enchanting! I could watch this video a million times and never get sick of it. I only wish I took up piano instead of drums twenty years ago.

[vipercookie3]

How can you dislike this cover, what is there to dislike?

[habenero100]

AWESOME........NICE AND RELAXING

[travisvennable]

beautiful!

[Xbrainsss]

really cool! 

[LeeChavezMusic]

It sounds like a classical music piece! I love it. Great job!

[skatelaresistance]

10 people fell from grace because they were away for too long.

[ban15ed]

That is fantastic. Have you considered doing Baroness or Pelican songs? At ant rate, I look forward to checking out your other stuff.

Also - do you ever do Rachmaninoff or Liszt?

[KILLSWITCHnut]

THIS IS WAY TOO FAST OMG SLOW IT DOWN haha jk just giving you shit awesome man you should do crack the skye

[olystercrowley]

That was nice !

[nothingfocus]

Brilliant, simply brilliant, Mastodon are genius and this is a great tribute.

[Arutasu03]

FUCK AWESOME MAN

[Xgoodtimes]

thats fuckng impressive

[waynetech10]

Sounds very threatening. I'm a comic book artist. I draw villains, to this, right now. Great job.

[Afro0thunda]

Does mastodon know about this cover because you diserve a complement from them

[axlenatore]

this makes me want to learn piano

[leachables]

I love this cover! you are extremely talented!. I'd love it if you would cover a Black Dahlia Murder song. like Funeral Thirst or Deathmask Divine. Or maybe even What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse. That one would probably sound best covered on piano. The other two are just my favorites by them. Please consider it. I'd love to hear more Metal covers like this one!

[videomane360]

For some reason, this song reminds me of the book, The Hunger Games. Dunno why lol

[mrsquiggles9]

This is well awsome ^^

[figure337]

I absolutely loved this. Great job. You should do an ISIS song. :D

[Slayerized2701]

@figure337 agree! - So Did We

[figure337]

@Slayerized2701 that or holy tears. It would complete me. XD.

[TheDaddyPhatsakz]

Would really really like to hear you cover The Czar: Usurper/Escape/Martyr/Spiral from the same album as Oblivion. Possible?

[mlugg01]

@TheDaddyPhatsakz seconded!

[TheDaddyPhatsakz]

i watched your cover of under northern star and was duly impressed! After this I am truly a fan! Could you tell me if you are a fan of metal music or do you just get the idea from somewhere or someone else?  Very talented and I appreciate your treatment of some of my favorite music!

[ALUxoxo]

@TheDaddyPhatsakz

Thank you so much! I am glad that you enjoyed my covers :) I do listen to metal, but I listen to other genres more, such as classical, alternative, and ska. My boyfriend is actually the one who gave me the idea of covering metal music on the piano - a combination of my classical piano background and his favorite genre.

Again, thanks for the support!

[LessthanJake14]

@ALUxoxo Tell your boyfriend he has great taste in music.

[Tarseval]

MAGNÍFICO!!!

Gracias!!!

[OliTheBest121]

I Love it

Good idea, Excellant

[ChainsawVsGod]

Absolutly exellant.

[Cryptotherium]

This is beautiful.. very original idea to.

[LeoXmayhem2]

This is just amazing.

I can't express how taken back I am by this cover.

[sluggar22]

if there was a mastodon song medley, you should be the one to do it :o

[Jozsus]

I just saw them live,  you did fine on the tempo... Like one of the comments said they wanted to learn piano... it's because this is awesome.

[iamhaga]

Great job on a great song!

[kiwiloveish]

awsome!

[rush519]

Very nice job, it gave me chills!

[jars9144]

when you convert the song to piano it sounds a lot more haunting and brings out a lot of different emotions and feelings with it. amazing job 5/5 :D

[JamminR91]

This gives me goosebumps. I now need to learn to play the piano. Unfortunately my hands are about as graceful as a bundle of hammers.

[mxwl17]

I am amazed at this it is a great video and wish you luck with other songs

[REVDOGSK8]

if i heard THIS in an elevator i would lose it! great job!

[Darkn3ssB]

I am blown away....literally mouth open and all, very impressive. i love it to be honest

[slartibartfast8787]

this is totally cool and brings out the minor textures very well, like @ 1:45!

this gives me courage and ambition to get my March of the Fire Ants piano cover brushed up and recorded! :D

[thehomelessman]

the most relaxing way to headbang

[deltonesan]

WOW, this feels like it should be in Final Fantasy 7... lololol, but its fucking MASTODON. Good job!!

[crazyclown622]

that was epic

[Jpeintner]

WOW and i thought Oblivion is an Awsome song...

but this is definitely one of the most beatiful things I've ever heardO.o

Thanks for this cover^^

[fekaliofil]

This vid shows the mastery of both You and the Mastodon guys :D

with respect, Poland.

[masterflak]

It's about 15% faster than the song itself. Slow it down a bit, and you'd be spot on.

I can synchronize your songs with their counterparts for Amon Amarth perfectly, but this one is quite a bit faster.

[ALUxoxo]

@masterflak

Yeah, I did that intentionally. It's difficult to cover a song EXACTLY on piano; the arrangement needs to be interesting on a single instrument, as opposed to a full band. I felt that if I played "Oblivion" at original speed, it would be too slow and therefore lose the viewer's focus. The Amon Amarth songs so far have been at a fitting upbeat tempo, in no need of adjustment.

[masterflak]

@ALUxoxo

Ah okay. May I suggest another Amon Amarth song for you to try? It's a bit of a doozie, but "..And soon the world will cease to be" would be something I would love to hear a piano cover for. It's possibly my favourite song by Amon Amarth.

[deltonesan]

@ALUxoxo How about a slow one intentionally then so we can listen to this while the song is playing and have it synchronized? :)

[MrIDontKnowWhoIAm]

@masterflak Dude, shut up.

[Slayerized2701]

(compared to the actual song) This sounds a lot better. Its an other thing...
