  • amazing

    

  • by FAR the best piano version of Paranoid Android on Youtube!!! I still keep listening to this since 2007

  • dude...you're piano is missing its face!!

  • @MDkid1

    yes! :3 in fact it is a nice idea, but I would be irritated while playing piano :D

    btw - very nice vid! thumps up!!

  • muy bueno muy bueno muy bueno x5 :)

  • Who are you and why have I never before been lucky enough to witness your incredible talent. You need more exposure you rock.

  • Amazing. Nice job, man

  • beautifully done

  • AWESOME......

  • U R GREAT! NEVER STOP!

  • This is basically the perfect combo of rhythms and melodies

  • Absolute genius.

  • Just amazing...

  • que hermoso el piano

  • This sounds fantastic, i love it. To hear this on piano is lovely.

  • i disagree with the 'too much harmony guy.' instrumental interpretations (particularly on the piano) are best when they don't conform to the vocal melody/backing harmony structure inherent in a band setup. In other words, i like hearing everything 'mashed together,' so to speak -- so great job on this!!

    you should come back to youtube and post more. That rhodes piano debussy piece of yours is great as well.

  • Great version!

  • that was amazing.

  • you should try again with a metronome...but is realy cool!

  • yeah! I agree

  • But Rubatto is such an awesome thing to use! I think it works great with this song!

  • nah!! this is pure rock!!!

  • My only criticism is your harmony is a little too loud and it's drowning out the melody, it's kind of hard to hear where York's line is at times. Maybe a little less pedal, or it might just be the sound of the piano. A side from that, awesome work.

  • OMG!

    That´s insane

    you are the best

  • congradulations...that's pure talent, I wish I could play like that =)

  • I never leave comments but that was exceptional. You're a brilliant and incredibly talented musician. Simply amazing...

  • EXCELENTE!!!!!!

  • lo mejorr!! muy bueno demasiado bueno, buen trabajo ;)

  • stupendous.

  • I expect to see your video of your own version of this up in a week then.

    But i doubt it.

    Fuck off.

  • Tut tut. Resorting to a lame insult, that affects me 0%

    I seeee your truuuueee colouuurss shiiiiniing

  • excellent

  • Sexy.

  • you're very talented.

    i liked your interpretation.

  • and i thought being able to play this on guitar was impressive

    this was great...

  • You're an amazing pianist,don't get me wrong, but why does it sound so clean and sweet?? Paranoid Android is raw!! I'm sure you can play it raw and more dramatic on the piano. Keep up the good work.

  • I agree, it's almost a clinical version, whereas it needs to throw away the metranome and feel some emotion. Slightly slower would be a good start, then lose some odd notes maybe?

  • Radiohead thrives on using odd notes. God I hate elitist bastards.

  • Ohhh! All the boys in the yard were shaking their milkshakes to this!

  • excellent display of talent

  • OHHh...my chicken skin is all up by you! :)

    Thx for sharing Sir!

  • Um, yeah. You're good.

  • You sir, WIN AT LIFE.

  • Brilliant.

  • very very awesome!!!!.... i like your interpretation of the original.

    I like your "open concept" piano too...

    just don't stick any fingers in there.

  • marvelous

  • This is one of my favourite songs ever and you just brought it to a whole new level. I never thought Paranoid Android could even be done on piano but now ... well I guess it can be after all. XD

    Seriously, though, this is amazing. You are so talented to have worked this all out for yourself and to have played it so beautifully. =)

  • Love it, when I first heard it I thought it was a tad cluttery but now I find it amazing, keep it up :)

  • Which part do you think he fucks up? =\ I thought it was the same quality all the way through. In fact I think it gets better at the "rain down" part.

  • Indeed.

    yess1001, fuck off.

  • By ear ?

    You are amazing =)

  • having the right hand/vocals part an octave higher is really good, it kind of recreates the effect of Thom Yorke's falsetto voice. awesome job.

  • This really makes me wish i didn't throw out my old keyboard years ago... haha. nice job 5 stars all the way!

  • Absolutely beautiful...

    Very nice playing and pleasant to listen to!

  • Love..... it.....

  • very very nice version. you're amazing

  • this is fantastic

  • nice piano...

  • love the octave changes on "ambition makes you look pretty ugly" part

  • unbelievable! u should turn pro mate..

  • its not that easy when you're a musician. you can't just say "Ok, now I'm going to get famous"

    I wish it were that easy.

  • I love the song and your version is great.

    Thanks for that stuff :)

  • bar-fucking-vo.

    Thanks for that

  • this is the version of Bradh Mahlu, it's fantastic, you play it amazing, I wish to play it too, could anybody tell me where I can find the sheet?

  • great job :)

    u have a nice piano :O

  • is there any way i can get a mp3 copy of this?

  • You're great

  • Also das ist wirklich die detaillierteste Version, die ich bis jetzt von paranoid android gehört habe. Ich bin echt beeindruckt. Aber versuch's vielleicht mal mit ein bisschen weniger Pedal. an manchen Stellen verwischt es nämlich sehr, vielleicht liegts auch an dem offenen Klavier... Nein, aber wirklich- hut ab!!!

  • und du bist sicher dass er deutsch spricht

  • bestimmt xD

  • That's one good ear.

  • I'm trying to work it out myself for the piano - thanks for inpiring me! You do a beautiful flowing version, and your piano looks way cool as well. Thanks for letting us all see (pay no atention to comments from numbnuts).

  • Good job, but I think it would'vd been better if you just did the song normally. No offense it was still great I just think the song is so good already.

  • I don't understand what you try to accomplish with that comment fathungwat. If you have ever taken ONE piano lesson you would know that this is Mozart level!! I played the piano 10 years and I would need another century to reach the level of this guy!

  • I am sure it is, but I still feel that I would've been better if he just played. Just because it has more notes doesn't mean it's better. The definiton of a good musician is someone who makes good music, not someone who can embellish a piece for show.

  • As I said, I played the piano for 10 years. I can do an honest attempt to "just play the song" and you judge which one you like more. It wouldn't sound nice just playing every note from the guitar version, it would sound un-vivid and motionless on a piano that way!

  • um.... not to take away from what this guy did (i throughly enjoyed the vid) but this isn't "mozart level" lol. but again, loved it, guy has skills.

  • and since u know mozart very well, u can support that...

  • ssh

  • thats pretty sad...

  • holy s***! can you please comment the guy? xD

    amazing!! i play this in my guitar and to hear it in a piano is absolutely amazing!! amazingly done! (:

  • bravo

  • ooooooohhhhhh awesome....

  • This nice. You're definitely a Brad Mehldau fan though! His version is the best ever!

  • Wow, this is fantastic, especially when it's been done by ear.

    Well done :D

  • Absolutely stupendous!!!

  • this is sick!! ive watched it like 5 times in a row already and i still find it awesome. good job.

  • this is my first watch in 2008. it never seems to get old <3

  • so if a painter puts his painting in a museum, his also likes having his ego stroked? "this shit"? u really must be envious, this guy has great talent! your the shit here

  • you're like..... a kicking squealing gucci little piggy of 5 years old thats learned to swear and shit 8D

  • yeah u big man who gonna fuck me, real original and mature(btw in our country we call ppl like u "fags"). ur right my analogy(that's when u compare things) wasn't the best, ok paintings are unique. try this one: someone playing frist violin in an orchestra, playing an perfet vivaldi, is a hack/fucker cuz well u see he doesn't write his own sonatas? let's make a deal, in the moment u can play this song on piano better than this guy, i'll agree to what u say, until then STFU, really.

  • *ENGLISH SPOKEN HERE*

  • my spelling mistakes? is that all u can come up with? i don re-check everythin i write for just everyone. yeah sure, i type fast and push alot of keys at the same time, but i think u get the main point of what i write!

  • Oh, I "get the point", alright......that you're a complete fucking IDIOT. And I think now, because of your little rant, everybody else have figured out too. Bitch.

  • final reply part 1: your insults are so lame. let's analyze. u start off with a cliche'd quotation marked expression, indicating that you are sooo sophisticated that you know how to use sarcasm. good for you boy! then ouf course the old making it seem like u say something nice but then you reveal that u actually are still insulting me. that's so original...not. ladd, that only works if r actually talking to the person, in written form it's useless.

  • part 2: Then of course we get to see your true American-white-trash-redneck side, because a true man does not need obscenity to insult another man, not to mention "fucking" is kind of redundant in that sentence, since "complete" already brings it to the superlative form. Oh, and that u spelled "idiot" with capitalized letters, gives it such a greater impact. Did you come up with that by yourself? U must tell me your secret!

  • part 3: Then u move on to picking on my rant, just because you don't have a good answer to what I told you, so u just dismissed it as lame, and made a bold choice on deciding what other people are thinking about me! And then u called me a female dog, which of course is an insult not used in every second-rate Hollywood film and made for idiots sitcoms.

  • part 4: For someone who spends his insulting other ppl, cuz u simply don have a life of your own, you do suck at what you are doing. So how about instead of posing as such an expert critic, you psot some vids for ppl to comment on, cuz as I've seen in the 2 years of youtube you posted nothing. So why don't you show us your talent? Cuz this guy has and people think it's a amazing.

  • i dont know revolution. i think radio head is pretty cool. but apperently your a piece of shit with no life.and i wouldnt talk so much shit if i were you,cus judging by your profile everyone fucking hates you. no wonder why?common say something...cus im gunna find you and knock you and your whole fucking family out you emo piece of shit. oh yeah and it was fun cock smacking your mother last night. go cut yourself

  • It's called interpretation, plenty of people do it. And the title obviously says "radiohead's paranoid android," and there's no one on this forum who doesn't know this was based on radiohead, so to claim that the person who posted this claims that it's totally original is far fetched. And FYI, there's a difference between constructive criticism and insulting for attention, and your habit for the latter keeps you from ever "keeping it real."

  • are you drunk or very depressed or something? complete fuckup you are man xD are you even a radiohead fan? if u are then you'd appreciate some great covers of their songs ya? just shows you're as shitty as a rotten banana peel in the dump... omg :P this guy loves RH and made a great cover which im sure you couldn't do.. haha u effing Keyboard warrior :P picking for fights with ur dirty fingers and cock

  • I cannot figure out whether this is an insult or a compliment?! :)

    This is bloody incredible btw. I figured out that song on piano, but not anywhere neer as well as that :O

  • well insult as a reply to some sick commenter and compliment to this video xD

  • moist!

    moar!

  • FUCK. fuck. nice playin sounds really good

  • I don't think you've to apologies for this...

    Shit man, it's fuckin amazin

  • hard piece to play by ear =) congrats!

  • thats fucking beatiful man i wish i could play that song

  • yeah mehldaus cover is great. it is on live in tokyo. everyone who loves piano should buy "live in tokyo" by brad mehldau. such a wonderful album.

    great cover. by ear... this is really hard

  • unbelievable. i always wanted to do this, until i saw this video and realized my hands are worthless.

    p.s. does this sound to anyone else like a crazy mix of paranoid android and the theme from amelie?

  • ever heard brad mehldau's cover on this? he's a jazz pianist, im pretty sure it was on one of his albums.

  • BY EAR?!?!?!?! :0

  • was expecting this to be terrible - but mr cuckoo you kick ass. got to get some whammy pedal on that solo guitar part though ;p U in a band then?

  • shit, you are the genius, like jonny green., are u in band?

  • nice playing but i don't like the whole rubato feel of it when it comes out of tempo right at the beginning, well really throughout the whole piece. but i mean i think it's great though. keep up the playing.

  • "nice!"

  • incredible job, are you jonny greenwood by any chance? :-)

  • love this song..perfect for a piano cover..well done

  • great job man

  • thats freaking ridiculous. just one question. how do you play piano? i'm trying and failing here.

  • Had to listen to it 3 times to appreciate how really beautiful it sounds & that happens quite rarely nowadays for me. U play in a natural manner like a jazz pianist however what u play sounds a lot like Chopin, or some piece from the romantic classical period. I like the independent feel of the rhythm, it sounds progressive, just as long as u keep some rhythm. What I'd love is this piece composed to sound a little more like Chopin or Rachmaninoff, and that'd be a definitive piano piece big time!
