Seriously! It was more than ten years ago for me, though. I remember listening to him here on youtube for the first time and then a few months later it was announced that he was going to be a touring member of Ashes Divide. Luckily I got to see them live before Adam left the band. I hope if Ashes Divide puts out another album/tours he is a part of it again.
My son started piano lessons, so I looked up piano players that played Tool. One of my favorite bands back in the 90's. Little did I know then that he would perform at Carnegie Hall. Thanks Monroe
Hello Adam, I have listened to this performance countless times and every time it captivates me anew. It is nothing short of perfection. Your virtuosity on the piano is evident, but what truly sets this performance apart is your voice. It breathes new life into this song, making it a unique and unforgettable reinterpretation. The way you blend your instrumental prowess with your vocal expression is simply extraordinary. Every note, every inflection, is impeccably executed, creating a seamless and emotionally charged experience. It's rare to encounter a musician who can so effortlessly balance technical skill with such profound emotional depth. Your talent and creativity are undeniable, and I can only hope that you continue to share your gift with the world. It would be a tremendous loss if you did not continually showcase your immense talent and extraordinary gift. This music, TOOL's music, seems to have been made for you, as if it was waiting for your unique touch to be truly realized. Your ability to reinterpret and recreate these pieces is unparalleled. You have a rare and precious gift, and it shines through in every performance. You have become one of my favorite musicians. And I eagerly look forward to each new piece you share. Please continue to pursue your passion and let your music inspire and move others as it has moved me. Thank you for the music! (14/6/2024)
The year was 2006. I had just got home from a boring day in my senior year of high school. Grabbed a handful of snacks, turned on youtube to listen to your APC/Tool covers while I grinded levels on RO. Fifteen years later, it all comes back, like a circle.
I waited 13 years for Tool's new album. And I waited 13 years since your first Tool cover for this one! Thanks for coming back to RUclips at a time we needed you!
What a trip ! Randomly was looking at Tool piano covers and thought ... what ever happened to that guy I used to follow 15 years ago . Looked around and found this . Was super stoked to know he’s still in the game and living in my city now ! Very cool.
This is ridiculous. The rhythm, the accuracy, the execution, the dynamics of the playing, ALL WHILE singing beautifully. I don't think most people here truly realise how incredible this performance is.
FINALLLLLLLY. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I've been eagerly and patiently (PATIENTLYYY) waiting for your return. ❤ So, so good to have you back.
Congrats on another hit, Adam. Huge fan. My wife rolls her eyes, “Again?” Haha she likes your voice and talent, as well. I got her hooked. She just doesn’t like admitting it.
Is just unbelievable that Tool pulls out this song just before the world's pandemics, and this dude returns from the ashes with his amazing talent at the exact time. Something good had to come out of this!
Like everyone else in these comments, I was subscribed and watching your covers 15 years ago... and I just stumbled upon these more recent videos. I love Tool and I love that you do too. Really awesome job.
Bought a piano 2 days ago thanks to this guy and his inspiring skills. Now that I'm getting an idea of what playing piano is all about, these performances are even more impressive
That’s awesome. Just made my day. Makes me so happy that I could play at least some small part in motivating you to want to learn the instrument. Keep it up man. Well worth it 👍
Unbelievable man, I used to watch your Lateralus video all the time back in highschool. This truly was a treat to wake up to. Thank you, amazing stuff!
I was just thinking about your Pardon Me cover that I used to listen to nonstop as a teenager. Couldn't remember your channel for the life of me. Kinda can't believe this notification just popped up.
Damn. This is the first time I'm hearing this. 2 years after you did it. And something like 15 years after i first discovered you. I almost lost hope that i would ever get to hear gems like this from you again. Damn its good to see you again. Here's to hopefully more to come! 🍻
Interesting fact.. mitosis is the dividing of a cell into two... Maynard sings "mitosis" at the exact middle of the song, thus splitting it right in two! You're welcome 😊
I know you skim over these most of the time adam, however, may I ask for an exception? You have inspired me in some crazy ways! Convince you was and is something I understand as one of the most important songs vocally and musically I've ever heard personally. You have inspired me for years and all I ask is that you would allow me to send you my originals and receive your feedback. It would be an honor to receive your raw emotion on songs I have spent over 2 decades writing. Please like this so he sees it!
The work in progress video was good enough, and then he does this. Well done sir, great to see someone do music like this on the piano and not just your average singer songwriter style.
You're like the ghost of christmas past 10 years ago. My first vid of yours was the Lateralus one and its still amongs my favo TooL covers. So glad to see you still doing this after so long.
Christmas came three days delayed and it is ABSOLUTElY WORTH THE WAIT. You're a godsend Monroe! Your sense for detail is beyond any other Tool cover artist out there, keep being you man.
Absolutely amazing as always. I have been following you for nearly 14 years and you have yet to disappoint. Hope to be lucky enough to hear you for another 14 years 🥰
The people: Man, this year sucks
Adam: I think I have to do something about this
This is why I subbed this channel flipping 10 years ago!!
Exactly how I felt. I had a different account, but always hung around hoping for new content. Reliving the old.

Haha! Me too!
Right I think it's been longer then that
The Piano is to Monroe12478 as the Guitar is to Ernesto Schnack.
Now if we can get these two to collaborate!
wow... he's back!!
Do Culling Voices!!
@@scorpianomusic YES!
This guy is like a cicada. Disappears for years and then comes back and makes beautiful noise
Facts!!
Hahaha
Pretty accurate
I just literally think about this guy and his channel few mins ago, and got a nice surprise when cm back here!
So he's just like Tool
Lol bro friggin hysterical. So true. He is just like Tool lol. I wish he covered every tool song. So amazing

🙏🙏 I'm very humbled by your kind words thank you 🙏 🙏. You inspire me to make more time for music
The only musician to cover Tool and totally get the vibe.
The year was 2006. I had just got home from a boring day in my senior year of high school. Grabbed a handful of snacks, turned on youtube to listen to your APC/Tool covers while I grinded levels on RO. Fifteen years later, it all comes back, like a circle.
Would you say, A Perfect Circle? Lol
I waited 13 years for Tool's new album. And I waited 13 years since your first Tool cover for this one! Thanks for coming back to RUclips at a time we needed you!
Thinking the EXACT same 😏
So glad to see you well. Overcome and completely (not)silent now.
Tool fans hope won't get mad of me for this but....I do prefer Adam's version A LOT !!!
Adam, please go on, you are such a brilliant musician!!!💜
Best Tool covers on the internet. Thanks for coming back dude
🙏
Can you imagine Adam’s version of Descending!
I just listened to this sitting on a cliff edge in Ireland. The wind is howling,the sea is raging, it’s perfect,beauty in the turmoil.❤
Wow. Sounds like an awesome place to be
NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO THAT FAST, OH GOD THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!
Here I was thinking you'd never make a new video again---best. gift. ever!
You've certainly upgraded your equipment since Schism and Lateralus covers. Still listening to them as I will listen to this in 10 years as well.
Come to say this. Vocals sound really good with this mic
What a trip ! Randomly was looking at Tool piano covers and thought ... what ever happened to that guy I used to follow 15 years ago . Looked around and found this . Was super stoked to know he’s still in the game and living in my city now ! Very cool.
Drop everything, Monroe posted another video
This is ridiculous. The rhythm, the accuracy, the execution, the dynamics of the playing, ALL WHILE singing beautifully.
I don't think most people here truly realise how incredible this performance is.
Very kind of you. Thank you 🙏
Man, I wish more people did piano/vocal renditions of Tool songs...this is absolutely amazing!
I've been listening to this dudes TOOL.
covers for years. Never gets old. Just as good now as it was the first time. Jeeeeez
This version finally made my Mom appreciate Tool. Thank you.
Ha cheers 🙂👍
FINALLLLLLLY.
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I've been eagerly and patiently (PATIENTLYYY) waiting for your return. ❤ So, so good to have you back.
👍🍻

Congrats on another hit, Adam.
Huge fan. My wife rolls her eyes, “Again?”
Haha she likes your voice and talent, as well. I got her hooked. She just doesn’t like admitting it.
It's my birthday and what a gift this was.
I never realized what a masterpiece this song was until I heard this cover. Thank you Monroe.

I was just thinking about your Pardon Me cover that I used to listen to nonstop as a teenager. Couldn't remember your channel for the life of me. Kinda can't believe this notification just popped up.

Amazing! 🤩 Years ago you inspired me to do my own piano recordings. I am so happy that you are back! 💕

Being following from back in the day. you're without a doubt a treasure that must be protected.

Wow.. he lives. And he's even better than before!
Shivers, man... Thank you for this

You're welcome 😊

You are blowing my mind. Basically playing 3 instruments at once

Dude, what a way to end the year... Tool songs on piano sound so emotional and I freaking love it.. Amazing cover as always!
He's alive! Nice work man, nailed it.
The work in progress video was good enough, and then he does this. Well done sir, great to see someone do music like this on the piano and not just your average singer songwriter style.
Gorgeous in every way. Bless this immunity. 🙏

You're like the ghost of christmas past 10 years ago. My first vid of yours was the Lateralus one and its still amongs my favo TooL covers. So glad to see you still doing this after so long.
