  • Check out my version of this cover. I think it's most better...

  • Very beautiful take on the song. Had my hair standing on end in a few parts. Every now and agail a group produces a song so moving, so haunting that you have to store it in as many places you can. On flash drives, In your YouTube, on and external HD and of course on your iPod. This is one of those songs.

    Thank you!!

  • What I find really unfair is that your hands can span across 10 notes or something crazy, I envy you for this and curse my small hands.

  • DUDE you are so awesome i wish i had your skills and i will practice till my fingers bleed and do it with a smile just so long as i can play tool like you cause they are my all time favorite band and when i die i hope i hear tool while i see my life flash before my eyes :D and beatles :D thank you

  • awesome interpretation. maximum respect. 

  • I dont play piano, but I am a musician, who has been a die hard tool fan since 1992, and I know all of their material thoroughly inside and out, and I can say with absolutely zero fear of contradiction, that you sir are extremely talented and on point with every single song that Ive listened and watched you play on here. Keep up the good work mate...

  • great playing, great touch

  • Holy shit dude you make me cry! ='D

  • any way i can get these for my IPOD. id pay

    

  • @dkGamecocks check the download link in description :D

  • One of my most replayed Youtube videos. Ever.

  • The Cresendo at 2:45 sent me soaring Thumphrey! Amazing! My favorite part though was between 0:00 and 5:57. The part I didn't like though was 5:58.

  • Is it just me or does this song seem longer than 6 minutes.

  • That is very kool! Awesome job! Would you play it slower maybe, I'd like to hear that.

    If you're taking requests, can you play TOOL the patient? Nice dude.

  • SO ya I make a playlist before I go to bed, to help me sleep this is going on hahah :D nice cover man

  • i wonder if in 100s of years from now, people will be learning this stuff in music school, like its our times equivalent to beethoven or someone like that. when you hear it like this it sounds truly classical.

  • just slow it down!

  • dude !!! i can get high just listening to this stuff ---- awesome man ........

  • epic and beautiful interpretation!

  • This amazing. Very well done. I must say however, that I prefer monroe12478, simply because he sings.

  • @TheDobligator no lyrics are needed.... pianos are the only instrument that can sing for you while you play. its incredible.... vkgoeswild is another great pianist that i'm sure you would love. think shes better actually, then again, no lyrics. but dude its just a piano thing. just imagine adding lyrics to classical music. it would seem......barbaric. once you get good enough with an instrument words just seem to intrude. acoustic artists like john clarke or igor presnyakov would agree.

  • @Williama15k I'm not talking about lyrics. I just mean the sound of a voice as an instrument. I think we can all agree that while Tool makes incredible use of all sounds, Maynard's passionate singing is a critical part of their music, especially in songs such as Lateralus or Rosetta Stoned (10,000 Days is of course a prime example. I just haven't seen Adam Monroe cover it.). That's just why I prefer Monroe. This guy is still really good.

  • @TheDobligator I have watched several videos on Monroe12478's channel and I have to disagree. Monroe simply covers tracks, Thumphrey transforms them.. if I want the original I will listen to it.

  • @TheDobligator plus the sound quality is WAY Better

  • @connectproject Touche about the sound quality, but actually, Monroe just takes patterns and notes from the part of the song he's playing and improvises off of them. Sometimes he does just play what is played on the guitar or bass guitar in the song but often he plays his own rythems to it. Listen to his Lateralus.

  • I can't see your face, but i imagine it to be the face of god.

  • can you please share your chords? THATS AWESOME, heard it so many times now!!!

  • great!!

  • Awesome arrangements! Thanks for the terrific hands view so that some of us who want to try to copy your success can give it a shot. Tremendous demonstration of the breadth of the piano's expressive capabilities through sustain and/or key velocity. I couldn't ask for anything more, people like you are why I love the internet.

  • I got goosebumps less than 10 seconds in.

  • I can´t stopp listening to your melody

  • WOW!!!

  • great fucking work. so beautiful

  • Can you PLEASE record this somehow into an mp3 or even FLAC... i will love you forever.

    great fucking work. so beautiful

  • if only you could be so kind to us as to share some sheet music.

  • Maynard has had to listen to these covers. I think he would like them. thumphrey is extremely talented on the keys.

  • thank you.

  • u are clearly the best Tool pianist ever.thank u for this and the rest.

  • I want to dislike this because it's a blasphemy against the God that is Maynard, but, dear Lord, this is more than decent

  • @MrKeys199 maynard have always sayd that he isn't a god... he's just a singer... a great singer... my favorite... but not a god... just a human that have swung on the spiral ;)

  • @RAKETHELEGEND Unless of course we are ALL god in which case he would be:P

  • give me your talent! *o*

  • Great piano cover

  • Круто. Моя хочет тьюториал)

  • Truly an epic conversion to the piano, this version is hipnotic and trance like in the way it draws you in and makes you want to listen again & again. Thumphery05 whoever you are thank you so much for this and your over great piano translations.

  • Such a virtuoso. ^^

  • 6 people are JEALOUS!

  • ok even though thats me below i also wanted to know if there is anyway you could do a tutorial or sheet music or something, if there had to be one piano song i learn i want it to be this one

  • someone tell that asian lady w/ 200,000+ views this is how it's done!

  • @luiehiy the asian lady is good too this is just different :)

  • thank you for making this

  • wow.

  • like a beautiful storm... Thank you! I have no more words.. =].

  • Such a beautiful song to begin with than add a fucking piano and Jesus fuck I am in heaven let me know when you make an album I want it write me and I'll send you postage money!!!!

  • you are remarkably musically inclined sir

  • Comment removed

  • Dude !! That was. Awsome

  • This is very good, but i just have one problem. It kind of goes too fast for someone to sing. I understand that time is an issue for Youtube videos, but this song is within the limit. Other than that, this was very good.

  • wow...

  • Wow you are really talented! Great Covers.

  • awesome!

  • incredible

    tiny bit fast, but I couldn't play it at any speed. You're amazing.

  • This is badass dude.

  • its a bit too fast

    and wouldve been nice if u kept the polyrhythm going

    but nonetheless facemelting :)

  • this is amzin! This version makes me feel a different feeling then the real thing, both still good, This one is so beautiful.

  • Thanks for sending me into such a deep trance. You have a true gift. Never let it go.

  • Awesome man great work

  • wicked dude

  • beautiful <3

  • brilliant!!!

  • tool should be proud to have a musician like you as enthusiastic about their music as this. play on brother.

  • Amazing..simply amazing...

  • It IS simply amazing!

    ~~

    X

    :)

  • this is amazing dude.

  • WOW!!!!!

  • great! its absolutely fantastic

  • very cool :)

    but i want to see you cover jambi from tool :)

  • I just cried a little. I want to squeeze your talent into a glass and drink it... so i can be a 1 000 000th as cool as you.

  • Stunning!

  • so damn good...

  • Holy shit!! What a touching score. I am mesmerized through the entire performance. Thank you.

  • so i've commented on your videos a million times but i really just wanted to say this.

    Your covers of Tool are by far the best on this website. The mere fact that you include each member of the band in the song is amazing... This is the best piano cover of this song on this website. It doesn't need vocals, it's beyond amazing.

  • Bravo!

  • The whole thing was amazing, but 4:30 sent chills down my spine

  • you are an artist!! even though most of this music's strengh it on the lyrics, this a very good job

  • beautiful!!!!

  • I'm beyond amazed right now. I can't even find the right words to describe how I felt while watching and listening to this and I feel like "beautiful" and "amazing" just fall short of how much I want to say.

  • epic win!

  • awesome

  • This is one of Tool's most amazing songs. I'm proud to hear something that they created and be completely able to imagine that somebody lik bach wrote it.

  • next time you got nothin to do, make the sheets or a tutorial for this. id kill for that

  • haha id love that too, i just spent a week getting schism down using his vid alone, embarking on this now... painstaking stuff i can tell you

  • Omg.. Did you learn Schism just from his video!?

    It's does not look very easy. Good job! :D

    I'm gonna try to learn this one Right In Two, let's see how that goes xD

  • Cheers :) It wasn't too bad actually, I could already play quite a bit of it on guitar though, so didn't have to spend ages deciphering the notes. My reach isn't as big as his, so I have to play the low D during the verses with my right hand then leap up for the vocal melody, which was pretty tricky to get used to. Right in two is looking like being quite a bit more work.

  • love the dynamics at 3:10-!

  • dude, your work is amazing! especially because all your work is basically what i have on my ipod, tool, volta, beatles, radiohead etc. ye boi!!

  • Ditto!

  • Amazing Talent And to one of the best songs written ever. I would pay for this!

  • I was riddiculously impressed with your ability to keep the odd time and play the lead at the 4 1/2 minute point...I've always loved how that part works in the song and you pulled it off nicely :-)

  • abso-fuckin-loutely amazing. this is better than tool.

  • Lol, how can a cover on a different instrument, effectively a stylistic change be "better" than a band playing the original? I love this, he's great, but you can't compare apples and oranges haha

  • well it definitly suits the grand piano doesnt it lol? i enjoy this version more than tools lol!

  • No you can't. But you can compare Granny Smith to Red Delicious!

  • no but you can have a prefferance :P i love them both! .. I mean the covers.. im not too fussed on apples xD

  • whew, every time im surfin youtube i stop by your vids.......awesome

  • powerful and haunting

    really enjoyed it!

  • thank you again for your amazing videos :)

  • this is amazing . u have talent bro

  • If I only had no neighbours so I could play this on Volume 11 at 02:38am... I told you once before, and I will again: Your playing is absolutely totally infuckincredible!

  • fuuuuuuckkkk u!!!!! u are sooo good!!! fack man!

  • really really really nice.. well played, Sir!

  • Beautiful rendition!!

  • SO SIC! one of my favorite songs and u do an amazing job.

  • its beautiful it sounds brilliant

  • You have amazing talent, keep it up!!

  • You should jam with tool dude, fuckin amazing

  • so awasome , keep covering songs of Tool u fucking are GODLY =D

  • godly

  • wow

  • Real fuckin' freaky musician! WAW!

  • If I could find a way to tape God himself to my hand and give you the most gnarly high five ever, I would.

    You win and pleasing my senses.

  • I cannot wrap my head around about how you can do this, like I play piano.

    And I can imagine what it took to do this....

    But gooood job, this is fucking amazing.

  • ...incredible!

  • I love this!!

  • Beautiful!!!

  • I FUCKING LOVE YOU DUDE. This is truly a beautiful work of art. How long did this take?

  • ridiculous skill man

  • Man seriously my neck is about to break...this is such a huge volume of information half being put to waste due to such a small choice! why??

    Sharing is caring..

  • Fantastic work...still confused about one thing though...Does everyone who makes these videos purposefully turn the camera just enough degrees off so that no one else can learn it too without breaking their necks?

  • ur so annoying dude :P... get a tempo-holder! your songs are perfect to practice vocals with except nearly everything is double as fast and switches between different speeds! argH! but great job man ;)

  • TOOL's songs do that dude ie off beats and this guy is playing both the vocals and instruments (the hole band ! so he has to play it faster to get all of of it in, this guy is a genius !

  • ---That sounds great---

  • fantastico perfecto congratso lmao

  • "How they survive so misguided is a mystery"

  • epic

  • you are god .... you get it !!!!!!!!!!!!!Love ya

  • despite my best efforts (im not computer savvy) im unable to download this to my pc. would anyone care to assist me please?

  • Comment removed

  • In reply to socktopus, try googling freecorder

  • OMG the group should hire you and make an epic verson of the song. IT could be 40 mins long !

  • Positively fucking awesome!

  • Fantastic job, keep it up

  • for someone who just started learning to play tool on piano... this is the best thing i could've possibly seen. thank you soooo much

  • I think like Itztli87, the first half is really awesome, :) but the second half is too noisy....

  • this is my new youtube account..i WAS dmtrealm........and im a girl, im allowed to do gay things

  • What?

  • That doesn't even make sense. "new account" LOL.

  • bloody brilliant!

  • If there was ever a band that would NEVER do that it would be Tool!

  • My hat is off to you, good sir!

  • im tearing up

  • well that's just gay.

    yea this is a wicked sweet cover... but tears? seriously?

  • WTF are u talking about tears man.

  • All I can say is ...WOW, I have goose bumps.

  • OMG THIS IS AMAZING.

    do you have sheet music for all of this??? if so WHERE DID YOU GET IT?!?!?!

    you're amazing :)

  • This is all by ear

  • amazing. i know it took quite a bit of work to learn that one, especially if you did it yourself by ear.

  • that was very epic

  • I heard the original about 20 times but this is just beautiful...Great work :D

  • feels awesome playing a tool song btw dosnt it? :D

  • very nice =]

  • This is the best one, better than any of Sano's.

  • You are amazing....I see this video every single day, and it just gets better and better.. What kind of piano do you have? It sounds really beautiful..!!

  • your the shit nice work!

  • I think this is the best one.

  • Absolutely incredible. I only wish you could play it a bit slower (song speed) so I could sing to it here in the comfort of my home.

  • Wow.

  • This is the result of, from what i can tell, an aurally gifted musician. Kudos to you my friend its people like you that inspire all of us to become masters of our instruments. im a drummer learing piano and guitar atm and believe me what i have learnt so far is opening doors i never conciously thought about. Thank you.

  • u are the fuckin man dude. i've heard ur other stuff. phenomenal

  • ethereal.....

  • I don't see sheet music and have never heard this version before. I would guess he's doing it by ear and that he has done it many times before. Truly awesome!

  • omg

    beautiful

    where did you get he sheet music?

  • perfect!

  • Just absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing!!
