Diablo - Tristram theme (Arranged for piano)

[kespec]

this theme give me the chills in any form

[MBledzephed]

Stay a while, and Listen.

[TheCanoness]

Wow, I don't like all these people complaining in the comments. Please don't listen to them. I like the intro, and the video, and I come back to this video quite often because I love this song and the way you play it. Thank you for posting your videos!

[MissMondkalb]

if you'd ever transcript the sheets, billion of people would buy it ;) at least one (me)!

would be great, but i think 1000 people asked this already...

[w3sp]

@MissMondkalb Well, read the video description, and send me a PM =) greetz

[geneppe]

Il più bell'arrangiamento di Diablo che abbia visto su youtube. Bravo!

[InflatiblePalmTree]

what the hell was the point of Chopin's Etude Opus 10 No. 1 in the beginning other than to show off? You're a bitch.

[mattcat234]

Wow very nice!

[kajan21]

Amazing!

[SCHMERorga]

Oh man!

Great done!

[rafgc1982]

Could you watch theguyi26's version and state your opnion, especcialy to comment SonicDreamCasters fanboy behavior? I hate when people making good chunk of music and instead of delight it, they flaming a war whos better for whole eternity.

[FunOfTheChase]

@rafgc1982

I watched theguyi26's old one and extended ones, and, sorry to say, as both a former D2 addict and a pianist myself, his is quite boring and robotic in comparison to w3sp's.

theguyi26's, while technically he's playing a fairly accurate transposed version, sounds like synthesia on a laggy system.

w3sp sounds like a person.

[rafgc1982]

@FunOfTheChase a matter of taste is a matter of personality, you see altough w3sp looks more skilled, theguyi26 version seem more like original to me that w3sps, but that is not the reason to call people to not listen w3sps version because it is different, about stating opinion i had in mind fanboys comments like SonicDreamCasters. I think the best weapon against fanboys is the person who is fanboyed comment negatively about him, thats all.

[w3sp]

@rafgc1982 While I don't really approve his interpretation/performance, his version has a few of the non-melodic sounds (e.g. 2:15) very nicely realized on piano that I had omitted willingly when I wrote my arrangement 4-5 years ago. However he didn't choose to write down any of those gracenotes in his sheet music that already is VERY horrible and hardly readable as a developed musician because it's not cleaned up at all. My sheet music represents exactly what is played in my video, his doesn't.

[rafgc1982]

@w3sp Yeah, i agree with you on that, his stuff is not prapared that good as yours, but is ok to hear it. Also what i wanted to read is a perfect example of how comment should looks like even if it is not very positive one, good critics ir creative critics.

[Coronelfarofa]

if its a donation, it should be optional.

[w3sp]

@Coronelfarofa which it is, nobody forces you to donate for my work.

[AlphaNox]

@w3sp Coronelfarofa is actually right. What you're doing is called "selling". Are you making a donation when you eat at restaurant? You aren't forced to eat there. Nothing wrong with wanting to be paid for your hard work though. =)

[flagella1337]

we need d1 pictures

[Anaben11]

what is the intro supposed to do? damn poser!

[MaliceMods]

Screenshot was of Diablo II...

[GrimChaos1]

So freaking insane. Got chills at 3:37

[bypassthelaw]

I'm dying to hear "catacombs".....

[ProfDrOetker]

46 people listens rebecca black.

[OGTripleTriple]

Fantastic! Good ol' Tristram.

[ffarkasm]

Welcome to the Tavern of the Rising Sun!

[irllcd13]

Wow. That's some mad skills.

@DarkCynder Blizzard said you'll get to go to New Tristram and enter the Catacombs again

[irllcd13]

Wow. That's some mad skills.

[DarkCynder]

Ah. I hope tristram is in D3.

[3Carnifex]

@DarkCynder It is , and blizz confirmed that the original track would be the main theme as well.

[fisyr]

Wow if anyone told me it can be played on piano I wouldn't believe him and yet it sounds almost authentic. Good job.

[XxSi1v3rxX]

Thank you, stranger

[alexandre588]

I sense a soul in search of answers!

[alexandre588]

good times...

[DanceofGold]

Oh wow I feel like playing Diablo 2 now. That sounded really like Tristram.

[DanceofGold]

oh wow i feel like playing Diablo now.

[AwayToSlay]

wow this is amazing :D

[anbrugm]

The way you play it...the magic........ You are a bit young to have played Diablo 2 perhaps? Thanks for the memories man. /Bow

[geneppe]

I love Tristram. The best game song ever.

[superactive300]

omg, i love the chopin you play at the beginning

[karrvankain]

...О Боже!!

Талант...!!!



[karrvankain]

...omg !!!

what`s a talant!!!!!

[Dazanin1]

I find it astounding that I've been listening to this particular rendition of the song fairly frequently for several years now. It's just too damn good.

[mitzicanuck]

does anybody else notice the metal playing in the background?

[turbodoom]

very nice w3sp!!

will u be playing DeFraG again?

[w3sp]

@turbodoom No

[t3hm00kz]

This would be infinitely more awesome if it didn't have that percussion/feedback noise in the background.. probably nothing you could have done about that tho

[cowzilla8]

Lol, the keys have a blue lighting to it, nice touch, even though it wasn't attentional, I think.

[harryfosho]

will you be playing diablo 3?

[AhDaMan]

There is such depth in the piano. It's like you are playing all of the instruments!

[Danotech9]

Hello my friend. Stay awhile and listen. Dude nice job..that rules hard and brings back memories.

[KingHarkinian]

Ah.. blessings on the rogues..

*damnit..*

[system1993]

one of the best cover on yt, gteat work dude!

D, fan.

[Isithiel]

Just thanks.

[gimpyspetsnaz]

2:29. This part gives me goosebumps. Do you use 2 or 3 fingers?

[pmspod]

Thanks for the better quality link. A good piece of work - well done. Congr!

[RainPuss]

Sooo jealous, wish i could play like that :) this is really cool

[JFguitar22]

that's awesome man

[vitrums]

ok, I think I'll finally go crazy about it, if I don't have your sheets. How much?

[Agmaxable]

You are my new hero! =)

Excelent!!!!!!!!!!

[sian7272]

Is there any possiblity that I can buy this sheet music? also sort of a donation isn't it.

[w3sp]

@sian7272: Yeah, kinda...send me a PM then =)

[oblivion007]

@w3sp Donations ftw! Its been like a year since I've practiced learning this piece. Just can't make some parts of it sound right, but then I'm no music reader xD I'll finish it someday haha.

[w3sp]

@oblivion007: hehe good luck, keep on practising =)

[kald0rei]

it took me long enough to learn it on guitar but seeing you do it on piano... wow... my mind has been reopened... how much longer it must have taken you lol. great work... hope to see you in sanctuary once D3 comes out

[Chainhealer]

HEY! you dat one dat kill all! you give me magic banner or we ATTACK! YOU NO LEAVE WITH LIFE!

[MRforfunable]

What do you want for sheet music? I really want to play this..

[w3sp]

@MRforfunable: A little donation would be fine, send me a PM if so =)

[jaysaus]

I sense a soul in search of answers...

[daagt]

what ales you my friend? OI WHAT CAN I DO YOU FOR

[monacodarrek]

@daagt

haha brings back memories

[MrFFwinner]

notice the hammerdin bot at baal :D

[zerovolt22]

Awesome !

[kobraelite]

VERY WELL DONE SIR

[Francis123P]

Holy crap, this is AMAZING!!! :O

I'm one of those rare people who enjoy both lounge music and Diablo and lemme tell ya, this sounds like something I'd like to listen to in a piano lounge rofl xD and I agree with everybody, it's simply beautiful and it does great justice to Matt Uelmen's original masterpiece haha :P

Awesome job ;D

[DanyF02]

Very well played, but could you do it again without the annoying background sound?

[Liqu1d82]

Stupendo rifacimento di uno stupendo pezzo... complimenti

[Guildwars42]

Lol you play all my favorites games (diablo II, final fantasy, zelda...) and I play piano too so I love you videos ! (sorry for my english I'm french...). You play very very well but you may know that. I wish I will play like you in many years but I think that I could never play as well like you in my life ^^. I listen your songs all the time and I love it each time. You're awesome ! =)

[Ethorion]

wow..... :)

[mozizzy]

fantastic!

[Packrat559]

Wow, that was great! Very interesting interpretation... never would have guessed that it would work so well on the piano, but you've definitely nailed it.

[Masterkewl2]

veeery talented

[OSCURODESTELLO]

WHATS THAT BACKGROUND SOUND???

[S3bz3r0]

i wonder if you know about the 2 leitmotiv in Diablo 1 and 2, i'm pretty sure they are in every sound track of the games, but how Matt Uelmen manages to hide/orchestrate it, make it sound unique each time, make that ambiance never equaled by any video game composer and with oriental and unusual instruments (he can take the festive kind of instrument and make it sound dark and deep) makes him a genius to me. It's sad that he doesn't do Diablo 3's music.

[111misza111]

great,very good!!!:D

[leondertien]

Man. LIsten to Rach Concerto #1 Mov 1 (Minus Orchestra) by Valentina Listisa (/watch?v=7WAxL9RsUo0). I'm pretty sure the composer of this was inspired somehow by this movement of the concerto.

[Irohm]

Really nice video man!

It's really hard to make a just piano solo version of this song. Too much harmony, different instruments.... so you've done a great job!

Keep going!

[VincentPrice111]

@Irohm Not to mention there are of course a lot of effects on the original song.

[dspandy]

"what can i do for ya?"...great

[jordanryaniscool]

stay a while and listen..

[sarybaby09]

wow. this is awesome. you should put up a tutorial. :D

[alundor]

wtf is that background sound? 2 ppl getting laid? :S holy crap that's annoying, whoever guilty of that deserves nothing less than burn in hell >:(

[leondertien]

It's called "noise". Happens to bad mics.

[Antikythero]

FUCK!!!!!!!! WELL DONE BRO!!!

[Pulseczar1]

Wonderful piano sound. Background noise almost kills it though.

[Zintendo]

you sing great

[willashland]

you do this song such justice

[ThePulaster]

Wonderful music !!! This is Tristram music from Diablo 1 but the screenshots are from Diablo 2 in this video.

[0871Atta]

I think it loses some of the character hearing it come out of a piano. Maybe a harpsichord or something would be better suited.

[whiterottenrabbit]

Pardon my French here, but WT FUCKING F IS WITH THE BACKGROUNG NOISE?

[HarlariousHar]

wow your an amazing musician!!!! >:)

i wish i can take your talent and make a copie then put the talent in my brain so i can be as good as you!!!! . lol

[Kodiwtf]

Wonderful! A shame about the background noise - I'd have loved to get an MP3 of this to play alongside the 'old' version.

[TheLivirus]

Better than most of guitar versions I've heard here on Youtube. Professionally done.

[Vertze]

Amazing. Thank you so much for posting this.

[opapotamus]

Amazing job, beautiful.

[yusarian1]

muy bien interpretado 5 estrella bro.

[Jurek009]

now THIS is just full of elegance!

If there's any castle with any king or queen in it in D3 ..something iug, something spectacular (go for Ureh..in an expansion maybe) i'd like this theme on the piano played there.

It's so..fitting!

I absolutely love this! 5/5!

[Milesfahid111]

a castle with any king or queen? Who would be in royalty in the middle of a fight between two worlds fusing into one massive demonic war?....

Blizzard North is gone. Gone. I dont know if diablo will ever be the same, at first i had hope for diablo 3, it looked like it wouldnt loose it's diablo spirit, but that all changed when i saw the new "Monk" class.... look at the trailer, i have a feeling the diablo legacy might be comming to an end.......

[Milesfahid111]

I'm sorry if i make it seem like a section of the company leaving means Diablo will loose its essence, i get worried, it happened with World of Warcraft when its expansion sets came out. When TBC came out WoW just felt like a game, nothing special...well, of course still special, but - its hard to explain. Diablo is a whole different story anyways, but whatever, i know a lot of people see it as just a game but theres more to it.. cant explain everything over youtube comments anyways

[frlwunderjojojo]

I first saw your snes songs, then this. I never thought there'd be people even crazier for this music than me, for the spirit of all this, good old times..*sighs and wipes tear away* You are awesome. :)

[slipkornyy]

wow dude i can make this on my guitar with delay effect...ive never thought how it would sound on piano.....anyways its very powerfull and you make the magic!

[chris84bloom]

Simple awesomeness! Thanks for sharing. Music like this made Diablo much more than simple hack & slash game...

[Dioxido87]

great!

[lfla0179]

Kudos to the player. If Matt Uelmen himself heard that, he would think of talking to Blizz guys and slapping it in Diablo 3 ^-^ . (My bet is that Tristram will be a secret level or something in D3.)

[cully5]

@lfla0179 pity matt uelman is not on board for D3.. the D2 soundtrack was special

[lisian123]

lol, everyone talk about diablo 2, but this theme song is from DIABLO 1 !!!!!!! xD, not from 2

[Aurelovanovalopta]

You can enter Tristram in Diablo 2 too...

[Morningstaric]

Dude I am wordless... Dunno what to say really. You made a perfect song far more perfect. Incredible and brilliant piano cover. Keep up the hard work man people should hear about you. Extreamly talented.

[mozizzy]

damn, man! at first i was hesitant to listen to a piano version of this but you nailed that shit! well done

[Dazanin1]

I just can't get over how spectacular this rendition is. The static noise is kind of disappointing, but the rendition itself is so beautiful that it makes up for it.

[RevJaWs]

amazingggggggggggggggg got me playing d2 again.. good job man

[Norskmorder]

amazing

[ganjahow3]

damn u did so great.. even those .. umm dunno how to say but at 2:01 sound so great... thank you for this video

[nanocalp]

awesome

[Aerieseq]

How can i get the this score??

[danny100333]

epic......simply fuckin epic! good job you fuckin genious.

[Seph7989]

Im completely amazed, htf you create this, you are a genious

[frontliner2]

matt uelmen ftw

[ARGRYS]

Its realy great, thanks for it.

p.s. Oh, i wish i had high-studio-quality record. ))

[sypherbigbot]

oh man, I was always enthralled with the soundtrack from Diablo 2. You play it perfectly.

[matejreszel]

It's the soundtrack from Diablo 1, but pictures are from Diablo 2

[Smarty4789]

the exact same song was used for tristram in diablo II so it's the same. besides a lot more people are familiar with diablo II.

[ganjahow3]

the st is from d2 too)

[matejreszel]

I agree with you

[jgendrich]

Brings back memories :) 10/10

[RetartedPete]

u got skill man 5/5

[yukoko94]

Lol:p okay then. Good luck. farewell.

[iScarie]

Stay awhile and listen.

[Fleshsifter]

ur awesome

[erikouwehand]

@iScarie hhahaha

[killcs]

friggin amazing

[yukoko94]

Maybe you should try to stop the internet and spend it on food instead.

[necrounholy]

Lovely arrangement :D Has most of its magic still around from the good old guitar version

[Gratch2222]

What do you mean 2:54 was to fast. You ever heard the song? its perfect. Perfect!

[KLNBKiev]

Very, very cool!

[Darclin]

Cool, but I wonder, why put diablo2 screen when this is the music from the diablo1?

[jollzy887]

it's the exact same song that's used in diablo 2 and diablo 1, perhaps slightly rearranged..

[greyskullgrim]

Because he can do what he wants. He's fucking god.

[lostsavior]

Wonderful. I wonder if someone can edit out that background noise here?

[Alekxandru]

the 2:54 part: 2 fast man! Otherwise, really good performance.

[juanitoluengo]

D2 best game ever

[grigoinc]

After 10 Years Diablo was released people still play it wow

[justin1064]

never played diablo but music was cool and beggining was epic =)

[Mentox2]

1.00 begins to be good.

=D

[PokerFacez]

whats that for a skill at 1:23 ??

[w3sp]

I don't know, this screenshot is a random mod screenshot I found ;)

[Bluntboar]

Ice Nova or something like that

[lord4kai]

thats normal nova not frost nova but just NOVA

its fun to cast as a sorc ^^

[42Kratzi24]

the skill is frost-nova.

[wowrazzor]

@PokerFacez

Frozen Nova, but it looks kinda weird.

[alaswoeisme]

@PokerFacez Frost nova.

[MrMasterZombie]

@PokerFacez It is Frost Nova.

[affonso88]

@PokerFacez

Frost Nova, Mage is the class.

[TheKyrst]

@PokerFacez its either frost nova or lightning version of frost nova (can't remember name

[l4nc3rr]

@PokerFacez Frost Nova I believe.

[izlude2]

please do the catacombs!!!! the 3rd segment of the catacombs song. i love that one! :)

[Matt0401]

That is amazing!! I loved this track ever since I played Diablo when it first came out. This is absolutely perfect!

[TAz69x]

Dammit, I can't give 6* stars.

Your skills are too excessively high; holy fuck.

May be the best solo in all of gaming.

[SirMordred9]

amazing!

something that's missed is the slide effect that the acoustic guitar or mandolim, whatever, gives between some notes...

but this version stills great!

[Lethani]

nice skill. i wanna play it too but i didnt found sheets in the web who includes the hole part lol pls make sheets and give them to us :S

[TrueMarine]

Amazing skill!

[AnotherSchmoe]

Wow this is awesome! =)

I've always loved the music from Tristram too, very haunting.

[Diablo666Daemon666]

You should do the Rogue theme from Diablo2! Or Terran theme 1 from StarCraft (check my latest videos for the tune i mean)

[fingerboy18]

Rouge is awesome. I'll check it if I have some time.

[Diablo666Daemon666]

cool. wilderness and cave are cool too, and who could forget the second diablo1 tune (the one inside the monastery). Oh and my video is called Black Hawks, Shades and Pictures

[PoreNoGraphix]

i definitely stayed a while and listened

[DaSurreal1da]

Wow, that is a truly beautiful rendition one of my favorite video game themes. thank you .
