[BaptisteClinton]

[Wolfpackraveu]

omg omg this is so cool! make a score, i wanna learn it! :p

[MuchoNews]

Can I make a request for a more melodic version/interpretation? I would love to here it without the "drops" as much as the main melody and a theme defined therein! Please reply back so I can be aware the day you post it!, thank you so much. in advance.

[lildemonicfoofubunni]

The nice sprites parts sounds heavenly on a piano. The monster seems to loose some of it's ugliness. I am still awe struck

[0552907476ib]

[GroovyTeacosy]

Now for someone to tab this out for ukulele. ;D

[777whosoever]

wow... just wow. when i first clicked on this vid i was thinking "how can you play dubstep on a piano." then i saw the video. ^.^

[metal40050]

What if that monitor falls down when you record playing? :)

[sakishrist]

@metal40050 I'm sure he will continue playing! :p

[fallout4newvgas]

Thumbs up if u cried :')

[sakishrist]

@fallout4newvgas I didn't cry, but I am in awe of this brilliant cover! This guy is amazing!

[MeestaWizzat]

If I make it into the film industry, I want you to compose all of my films. I can't express the appreciation for your talent in text, so i'm just going to say that my mind has been blow out of the back of my head by this. But seriously, beware of contact in the future.. it may lead to.. "and the Academy Award for Best Original Score goes to.... Evan Duffy for ______".

[d1ise]

Shoooot!! So awesome!!

[sharelle2oo7]

absolutely amazing! very talented! 

[Sinan12s]

Playing a ϟƘƦƖןןΣx song on a Piano like a boss!

[marlonmarloncortes]

[1AirBattle]

[JibberishShmuck]

[Chiken1012]

This is incredible..

[JarbOfficial]

Freaking retarded Skrillex is like way better than this! LOL nah just kidding, this is really good. Sounds like you put a lot of work into it!

[Republican073]

Really good bro. keep it up.

[sUp3rxb4ss]

Fuck that was song Fucking Dope! Do you have Music Sheets?

[ROBOTBULB]

You have pure talent. The way you perform two things at the same time during the song.Blows my mind.

[Bers3rkGaming]

Beautifully done!

[danielm0209]

*you should work on the drop* ; fuck off mate it aint a dubstep piano.

[TheDoodlebanks4]

@danielm0209 yo bud... this guy is great.. dont dis him. hes got some amazing talent. You shouldnt troll people like i bet you do on your spare time.. So just leave this guy alone

[metal40050]

Pure skills.

[TheSHAWN1911]

you should work on the drop

[astridx3]

It's not easy to play dubstep/dnb-songs on piano but you're doing it very well!

You're a very good pianist :D and if you're searching for some inspiration, you should try playing Netsky once! ;)

[laurabev123]

Wow, this is amazing!

I saw in comment you posted that some people have figured this out for themselves, and uploaded it.

I can't find it anywhere though, so would you mind linking me to the sheet music? I would really appreciate it! :)

[RussianNinja99]

sometimes i like to go under my bed and pretend i'm a carrot

[KatanaPenguin]

This is awesome, thank-you!

[FlyingZebraFilms]

I think before anyone writes a stupid comment about evan you should watch all of his videos and see how much passion and time he puts into these pieces! Evan your a Beast!

[KizzaD91]

I don't know what's more fantastic, the fact that you can actually PLAY this so beautifully, or the fact that you know it off by heart. You're a true genius, and a fantastic piano player - certainly the best I've seen on YouTube, and that's saying A LOT. Seriously, I can't express how amazing this is, I typed in "Skrillex piano cover" and found this, and my jaw just dropped. Thumbs up and subbed, love it.

[alexandramckelveyh]

perfect piano drop :) couldnt of done any better

[xxAIDYUKxx]

OMG OMG OMG Please do First Of the year :D

[Peztrumentals]

you're the only person to do a piano cover of this that has actually done the drop

[cerebarp]

Great job with this. Keep it up!

[evanduffycomposer]

First! 

[NsanityIslandProject]

@evanduffycomposer I think im first, sorry

[bullmadness]

This way our grandparents will enjoy dubstep as well=D

[AudiableKiD]

damn. talent.

[megapunchx2]

I really like the plugged sound, I was expecting it to be an acoustic recording.

[InvisibleWin3]

This is the best version on YouTube! You are such a boss, I hope when you walk down the street, girls come up to you and say, "let's have sex.".....

[evanduffycomposer]

@Davertude thanks you for your critique! Varien, however, arranged the suite, not Skrillex. I appreciate your comment but think that you are looking at this from too classical of a mindset - I study classical music and its compositional makeup for my degrees and am very well aware of theory behind harmonic shifts, motivic development, etc. Although, I still truly doubt that even from an analytical standpoint that you could argue with any certainty that SM&NS is an homage to Wagner! Come on, man!

[Davertude]

@evanduffycomposer well, i love harmonic shifts, especially with minor chords, as well as character development, and can see you have the skills to take this to the next level. I'd just like to see this... any time that there are characters, and themes for those characters, I'm going to have to say Wagner... whether directly or indirectly, that's at least the source of such thinking and it has been well executed in s's work thus far.

[natdew1]

@Davertude it's "leitmotif", tool.

[Davertude]

@natdew1 I don't speak German, Mr.

[LaZyBoYzCLAN]

@Davertude You wrote skrillex wrong!!! Sucker!!!!

[chris031187]

who seriously could dislike this?

[thexdrives]

Omg, I heard the original and then heard you play it better! That was so good it made me cry. Never give up on music. One day you will be famous, I'm sure of it! Live long and prosper!

[rayovac2010]

God damn, you're a beast. xD

[mexisxchrissy]

So much skill, I am soooo jealous. .I'm 19, been playing since I was 7, and probably could never do this. Love your work!<3

[TheWasp2392]

wow!

[Dillon0Moore]

Skrillex usually posts cool videos that have reference to him on twitter facebook etc.

I am completely dumbfound on how he has not posted this yet. This is amazing, i sense abit of jealousy from him ;).

[WolfBrother626]

Flipping awesome you're the shiznit bro!!!

[unnunn12]

much better than the original!!

[omgsteffen]

i love you

[evanduffycomposer]

@higgsterman Hello higgs, this is actually not the case, I promise you. Other people have figured out my arrangements by ear and uploaded sheet music to them in various places - I completely support this as long as credit is given. The true reason I don't upload sheets/tutorials is I simply do not have time as a senior double major in college with the added stresses of work, etc. Instead I just choose to use that time to make new content for you all. I hope you understand.

Best,

Evan

[dabeothic]

@evanduffycomposer love your comment back.

[something8mydck]

@evanduffycomposer bitch can you play this

bet you cant so shut the fuck up dip shit

[QuarterBros]

@something8mydck its his video dumbass?

[mookahmookah]

@QuarterBros haha thats exactly what I was thinking! xD

[Radik16able]

@evanduffycomposer

I guess all understood, it's better to upload new content than uploading tutorials.

i like it.

[Treelou101]

@higgsterman "ALOT" Isn't a word. It's two words! A lot! If you're going to be a douche, at least use proper English. -.-

[Treelou101]

@Treelou101 You illiterate bastard.

[IPawnNoobs]

@higgsterman- In the process of trying to make a fantastic musician into an asshole, you became the exact thing you were calling someone else. ( <<Dick Move ) If you used HALF the time it took to type out that silly comment, to actually say something positive... you probably wouldn't come across as such douche bag. Think about it. 

[pontus515]

@higgsterman Butthurt?

Awesome cover, Evan. Mostly impressive.

[TheHTMLCode]

@higgsterman im pretty sure this wouldnt stop people playing the piano all togehter? if they did then theyre obviosly not very dedicated to their instrument, I love the originality of this piece Evan, keep this up and best of luck on your course!

P.S. Higgster, if you want to play this why dont you pick the chords out by ear, might take a while but if you really want to play it you'll take the time, just saying.

[GelatoTacos]

This is one of the only Skrillex piano covers that includes the drops. I had almost become used to not hearing it in the other videos.. but this.. is amazing. Great cover :D.

[lizzithelion]

dubstep piano. WOAH

[Carrenx3]

MOTHER OF GOD that was amazing...

[punkrockike]

wow. just wow. this is the best cover of that song ive heard. wow!

[captainkblz253]

with you friends (long drive) cover pleeeeease!

[clonejoe]

I think this is so much better than the original version. I've never liked bass drops though lol their toooo repeatative. If the song was reworked with something other than bass drops it would be a classic. Great piano playing for sure though!

[aronpetho]

YEEES, OH MY GOSH!!!

[loverofbloodandgore]

You're truly an amazing pianist and can see you going very very far if you keep this up...HELL maybe Sonny will invite you on a tour =p lol Grats man. I really like your work!!!

[SweetLittleMelodies]

.... I love you. Lol

[jannarr]

Wow! I subscribed by the 15th second

[stemocro]

finally a good drop on the piano itself, PRODIGY DUDE

[crazzibri]

WHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAA

[vinsyforthewinsy2]

Hey I made a symphony out of this and I'd like you to check it out and tell me what you think. I'm in high school and only have GarageBand and reason(strictly drums) to work with so the instruments aren't phenomenal but it's all I have. You actually helped inspire me to make it with your piano cover of it.

[ShannonIsEsther]

How long have you bee playing?!?!

[philly121195]

wow

ur amazing 0__0

play this at my wedding xD

[katiesnaps]

This could quite possibly be the most amazing thing i've ever seen/heard. You are my hero.

[Me2YouToobe]

This is actually really hard to learn, I'm in the midde of it! Well good cover, well done:')xx

[Xshadow1010]

Do you use a 88 note keyboard? Only asking cause I'm getting my first for christmas and I wanna know if I should get the 88 or 72

[evanduffycomposer]

@Xshadow1010 definitely go 88 keys - once you start playing more music you will regret the 72 as some things are just unplayable with too few keys. If you can afford it, spring for weighted keys too (tries to simulate a real piano "feel" - helps a lot with musicality, as you don't feel like you're just pushing light plastic keys down).

[lowerrmannysophmore]

Make a sheet plz it's seems difficult nut wit a sheet it's easier

[DjLaserReloaded]

pls make a sheet music |!

[wiidood]

Amazing work,

I now idol you

[Matthew14031999]

GREAT  MUSIC!!

[DeetinPianoForte]

If you made an MIDI to this I could easily just put it in this program to make it a sheet music

[evanduffycomposer]

@DeetinPianoForte yup, but if you have experience exporting midis into finale/sibelius/etc you know that it comes out VERY illegible due to non-exact/quantized rhythms. I didn't play this in with a metronome and I take time here and there. Trust me, an unpolished, straight up midi export into a score looks shitty. If publishing sheet music was my primary focus of tihs channel, I would certainly take the time to do this, but I would instead prefer to keep releasing new music to you all.

[DeetinPianoForte]

@evanduffycomposer Oh well :( Very Nice Cover anyway wish i could play this :(. I could always fix the score anyway :) Like one of my videos on my account It was pretty messy because of the song being out of rhythm but i still managed to do it even with some mistakes :) oh well Still Very Nice Cover :)

[CSeveproductions]

just spitballing here but why not midi your piano to the computer and and then from there redord it into audacity or even FL studio and put them for DL?

[evanduffycomposer]

@CSeveproductions I direct line my piano into Cubase 6 and work with MIDI/VSTs through there. I do have downloads available and will re-upload soon. All audio you hear was through that direct midi line in, though

[DjLaserReloaded]

are you the son of Chuck Norris ?

[DjLaserReloaded]

Wow!!! O_O

[VVatch0utCA]

Damn this is fricking good keep it up

[jinster23]

Lol awesome

[NJHpro]

THE DROP WAS SICK!

[DuhMystevenLe]

The Dislike bars like a ninja you cant see it

[nessie0067]

you are so talented!!!! i wish i cud play like you.....god bless you man, loved this. no words.

[playedatnoumber7]

This is amazing!!!!!!

[DayangSouraya]

So glad you didn't get rid of the 'Yes Oh My Gosh' bit. Most other covers don't have it >.<

[KrazyMateo]

Great job man, never really liked piano covers on techno, but you did awesome here.

[mazspaz13]

Finally, a drop! I tried it before, but my fingers don't work like that.

[EmMthereal]

wow

[HaroRider99]

I got my teacher to play this on piano

[JJJoelCarter]

Omg, I have that monitor (computer screen) :)

[BakuganVentusBrontes]

I LOVE IT!!!! :D

[xEclipzinfernoHD89]

what key do you play this song in and I may be able to do sheet music for you since people keep asking for it and i quite fancy learning it myself

[BakuganVentusBrontes]

@xEclipzinfernoHD89 it's in Bb major but most of it is in G minor (like the breakdown)

[mathexpert9981]

godly, really good job!!

[immanuelkwak]

what key is this in?

[BakuganVentusBrontes]

@immanuelkwak Bb major, but mostly G minor.

[rtuiy9898]

WHAT THE JIZZ.

[Themusicbrosiv]
