I sometimes feel that I love your cover more than the original, as blasphemous as that may sound, Then again, it's just that good of a cover. Perhaps my mind gets blown away each time I listen to it as a result of your awesome playing combined with your amazing voice. I always seem to come back and listen to your covers every once in a while...
Dude, you should make an album entitled "Tribute to Tool (Piano Versions)" with all of the Tool songs you've already done as well as piano/vocal versions of Parabola (the whole song), The Grudge, Pushit, and a whole load of Tool's classics. It doesn't matter if you'd self-finance the cd, or you strike a contract with a record company, I'd still buy the cd. And I'm guessing thousands of Tool fans would back me up with this comment! :D
never heard anyone sound like maynard james keenan like this. he sings it with his own passion, but keeps true to maynard's art. he doesn't make the song his own by changing it, he keeps it real by putting this art into a golden "frame" with his intense vocals and piano cords. I havnt been moved by something like this in years.
I forgot that this even existed. I looked up "Judith Cover" and seen your video for that and I was like "Oh shit, that's gotta wait. I have to go listen to his cover of Schism first"
Dude! 16 years ago I was looking for piano music so I could focus on my studies. And I arrived at this video. I liked it so much that I looked for the band that composed the song and fell in love with Tool. I became a fan of the band thanks to you! Thanks for introducing me to this. Today I'm showing your video to explain to my 15 year old son how I discovered Tool band. ❤🤘And congratulations on your work. It's still amazing. 🇧🇷
When the vocals were low in the beginning the piano drowned them out, but as the vocals picked up, it all fell into place. Once again, fantastic. Jesus Christ.
this is so beautiful! one of the best covers of the song and best covers on youtube of any genre and style imo. Like if there was a list of covers with every genre, I don’t think any listeners lost on rock would be disappointed that your cover is on there. I was reading too many “its just that good of a cover” comments before realizing this is top if the line! Amazing efforts, you nailed it!
wow. I was thinking the whole time, ¨how is he gonna pull off the bridge with a piano?¨ NAILED IT! Wow. And the whole last minute or so you just light the keys up, just flawless. Good on ya! Awesome work. You could do that in the middle of a Tool show, and I bet the crowd would go nuts.
OH MY GOD Dude that totally made my face melt off, for real. Pure genius, your voice is rock solid, did Maynard justice in my humble opinion, and your keyboard playing is stellar!!!
kole,4 a min, i thought i might have wrote it wrong, but i checked, you read it wrong,,,,i just said i actually loved it and was blown away. even adam monroe will tell you tool's music is phenominally well written, complicated, infused, elaborate, for this reason i never would have thought it would translate to the single instrument of a piano. but this guy does a phenom job on every maynard song i've seen him do. i loved it. i think u read my post wrong, n ind of owe me apology, i love this guy
My gosh, i had only heard of him and i had my doubts. But now that ive heard it, its just... it gives me a renewed love for the song that first brought me to the brilliant light of Tool. Seriously there are tears in my eyes right now.
You absolutely need to put out a Tool cover album - I would buy it on release date. After listening to few of your songs, I am astounded and will purchase your album ASAP. Keep up the fantastic work
the awesome thing about this dude is that it proves that you truly love something you it can take you far. like he really does love the music or he wouldnt be able to do it justice. apc rocks tool rocks maynard rocks this dude rocks =)
the bridge is my favorite part :) and, i don't feel like enough ppl have complimented on your singing. you're singing's great, and you're doing the instrumentation of two band members on the piano on top of it...
God, you've done it again. You've taken one of the best pieces of music ever written and interpreted the bass and guitar parts into one piano part with your own added pieces. You, sir, are one of the best musicians I've ever heard. If the music industry weren't so corrupt I'd tell you to go pro and release an album, lol.
Nothing Beats your Lateralus Adam, I have it on my Myspace page and I get more comments on that than anything. The first time I heard it I got goosebumps. despite the c.d. falling in the final moments (which I wouldn't have noticed had it not been mentioned) Great work man.
dude .... That was ... Holy shit ... I know how youve done it , with practice , relentless practice over the years and hard work and persistence , BUT HOLY FUCKING LAWGY ! This was Ridiculously Good ... absolutely Ludacris !
That was amazing as I am sure you have heard. I feel like the piano and the more emotional vocals really portrayed the pain aspect in the song. Can't wait to see more.
"Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between suposed lovers, between suposed brothers" I have this sentense posted on my bedroom's ceiling. Tool lyrics are the best Keep working on it ;)
I wish you could see who likes/dislikes videos coz I would personally hunt them down for disliking this cover. This is a sick cover! The piano is pretty skilful and the vocals just fuckin' rock!
yes, someone wrote to me about that in the past. First of all, if you really listen I'm sure yo can find minor errors in most, if not all, of the vids. In this case, i did sing the right lyric but the vocal effect blended the syllables to make it sound like "distance". thanks for commenting
one of the most impressive covers ever
yes, defitetely
I've watched your videos, specifically this one, so many times over the years. Probably my favorite thing on on RUclips.
I sometimes feel that I love your cover more than the original, as blasphemous as that may sound, Then again, it's just that good of a cover. Perhaps my mind gets blown away each time I listen to it as a result of your awesome playing combined with your amazing voice.

Roksiel same with me.
This voice is perfect for tool covers, god bless

Awesome man. Love to hear that!
Man I must have watched this a million times in my computer lab class 17 years ago. RUclips was young and I had found a gem that still rocks today!
Thanks man. Appreciate that!
Overall that performance was EXCEPTIONAL!
Vocal styling matches perfectly, and the playing is just great.
Really well done.
The point is not to sound like the real thing. Is to recreate the thing to sound like YOU. And he absolutely rocked!
When the vocals were low in the beginning the piano drowned them out, but as the vocals picked up, it all fell into place. Once again, fantastic. Jesus Christ.
Every time you sing "communication" and the modulation of chords kicks in I get the chills. Bravo man, fellow pianist impressed 👍🏽
Pls come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he is bak !
this is so beautiful! one of the best covers of the song and best covers on youtube of any genre and style imo.

Gotta be one of the best Tool covers i've seen in a VERY long time.
probably one of the best covers of tool i've seen yet...excellent work
wow. I was thinking the whole time, ¨how is he gonna pull off the bridge with a piano?¨ NAILED IT! Wow. And the whole last minute or so you just light the keys up, just flawless. Good on ya! Awesome work. You could do that in the middle of a Tool show, and I bet the crowd would go nuts.
from 5:10 till 6:05 its just wonderful, makes me shiver everytime i listen to the original.. but this cover is just brilliant.. u're the man !
This si one of the greatests songs of Tool, I love it...
OH
MY
GOD
Dude that totally made my face melt off, for real. Pure genius, your voice is rock solid, did Maynard justice in my humble opinion, and your keyboard playing is stellar!!!
In my opinion, Adam does the best Tool Piano Covers out there.
i believe most people can sound good with an heavy overlay, but your one of the people i believe actually do overlays justice. id pay to watch this.
I got the same shivers from listening to this as I do when Maynerd sings. The good ones. Damn good, and kudos due.
kole,4 a min, i thought i might have wrote it wrong, but i checked, you read it wrong,,,,i just said i actually loved it and was blown away. even adam monroe will tell you tool's music is phenominally well written, complicated, infused, elaborate, for this reason i never would have thought it would translate to the single instrument of a piano. but this guy does a phenom job on every maynard song i've seen him do. i loved it. i think u read my post wrong, n ind of owe me apology, i love this guy
3:27 is when i really fell in love. that's my favorite part of the song, and it sounds excellent
My gosh, i had only heard of him and i had my doubts. But now that ive heard it, its just... it gives me a renewed love for the song that first brought me to the brilliant light of Tool. Seriously there are tears in my eyes right now.
i live my life thinking that keyboards have no place in rock music... then you come along with something as awesome as this. damn your good
This is most certainly the best cover of a song that I've ever seen! Simply Amazing!!! Wish there was an mp3 file...
Mindblowing. Awesome stuff man.
Didn't think you could get better than thumprey, but here we are. Excellent!
This guy , I believe, is the only guy who can stand up to Maynard with his voice and singing style. This is fucking godlike.
We must be the biggest fan of Tool to work so hard on their songs. Respect.
Dude, great cover of one of favorite Tool songs of all time. Fuckin awesome job! Hauntingly beautiful.
i didn't think an acoustic cover of this song was possible.. u proved me wrong!
Wow dude, this is incredible. The vocals are very good as is the piano. This is really good. Nice job.
No! This guy is so talented I and only Tool fans or fans of what he is playing see the brilliance of what he is transforming. Amazing!
amazing voice and keyboards. everything you could ask for and more.
never thought that a song like tools could be pianoed... great job! 5 stars!
Would you ever consider re-recording all of these old Tool covers? It looks like I'm not the only one who comes back to these videos 15 years later!
If I could only sing like that...I am in awe. GREAT WORK MAN!!!!!!!!!
It's amazing how you capture all of the elements of all of the songs you cover with one instrument and your voice...you're a legend
man vocals r just amazing all i can say. i listen to this and just only amazing pops up in my head
You absolutely need to put out a Tool cover album - I would buy it on release date. After listening to few of your songs, I am astounded and will purchase your album ASAP. Keep up the fantastic work
I got chills. That was so beautiful.
man, CONGRATS
that was awesome. excellent and original vocal performance... thanks for that moment.
So i heard all ur other stuff and when i heard ur voice for the first time in this song my jaw dropped. unbelievable!!! keep it up!
Everybody I have ever heard attempt to sing Tool even close to Maynard's level has failed miserably.
You sir, Succeed immensely. Well done! =)
wow didn't expect that sound come out of him...... totally awsome
the piano alone is great, plus the vocals too. great job man
the awesome thing about this dude is that it proves that you truly love something you it can take you far. like he really does love the music or he wouldnt be able to do it justice.
apc rocks tool rocks maynard rocks this dude rocks
=)
6 minutes of sweet shivers down my spine. Thanks
the bridge is my favorite part :)
and, i don't feel like enough ppl have complimented on your singing. you're singing's great, and you're doing the instrumentation of two band members on the piano on top of it...
dude SCHISM on a piano is WICKED!!!
blow away, totally!
Once again... I'm truly admired with the way your voice shifts, fits into different tones and so easily! You rule! eheh
woah
it just sounds so eerie and creepy on the keys
love it!
GOD DAMN. The "Cold silence" part.... chills down my spine!
IMHO this is your best cover
God, you've done it again. You've taken one of the best pieces of music ever written and interpreted the bass and guitar parts into one piano part with your own added pieces. You, sir, are one of the best musicians I've ever heard. If the music industry weren't so corrupt I'd tell you to go pro and release an album, lol.
You have a new fan dude. I will watch all of your videos repeatedly.
That made my day. You should go to a Best Buy's music section and go to their keyboards and just start playing and see what kind of crowd you gather.
*jaw drops* that was amazing especially the singing that was very creative try making more tool covers u rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the reverb on the vocals, and this cover is AMAZING.
my gosh man! u just blow me away! great work! i dont know who i love more now, u or maynard!
WOOOOW YOUR VOICE IS JUST LIKE THE SINGER OF ToOl THIS IS AWESOME
Nothing Beats your Lateralus Adam, I have it on my Myspace page and I get more comments on that than anything. The first time I heard it I got goosebumps. despite the c.d. falling in the final moments (which I wouldn't have noticed had it not been mentioned) Great work man.
dude .... That was ... Holy shit ... I know how youve done it , with practice , relentless practice over the years and hard work and persistence , BUT HOLY FUCKING LAWGY ! This was Ridiculously Good ... absolutely Ludacris !
Best cover of this song hands down.
Well done Adam , sir , haunting and intense ... very impressed !
That was amazing as I am sure you have heard. I feel like the piano and the more emotional vocals really portrayed the pain aspect in the song. Can't wait to see more.
absolutely mindblowing!
this is amazing, no joke you have amazing vocal talent
What a pleasurable cover, Maynard would be proud of such a descent cover indeed. Thumbs up!
Simply amazing.
Awesome cover man ! Simply MAGIC !
TOOL is a wonderfull band and your tribute...the same level
Keep on dude, you are REALLY talented !

HAUNTING PERFORMANCE!
Congrats!
A very human chill crawl up my spine. Beautifull indeed!
Absolutely amazing.
"Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between suposed lovers, between suposed brothers" I have this sentense posted on my bedroom's ceiling. Tool lyrics are the best
Keep working on it ;)
Cold silent has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion ...... so great . Awesome dude , 5 stars ofc .
You're a (musical) god to me!!!! I adore your talent and the way you play and sing! it's divine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn fine work. Gave me chills, and that's a very good thing when it comes to music.
I wish you could see who likes/dislikes videos coz I would personally hunt them down for disliking this cover. This is a sick cover! The piano is pretty skilful and the vocals just fuckin' rock!
you did this so fabulously. i am really, really amazed. keep up the great work, Sir.
3.11 to 4.40 my favourite part of schism but its something divine on piano man, respect :)
you've made a masterpiece cover of my favourite tool song!! great great great!!
seriously you are a true tool fan. you're videos do them and yourself much credit.
You did an amazing job. Your vocals are on spot and very close to Maynard. Your just the singer me and my friend have been looking for.
HOLY SHIT, that was fucking amazing dude. im loving this so much.
So amazing.
So captivating.
So jealous.
the solo was amazing
yes, someone wrote to me about that in the past. First of all, if you really listen I'm sure yo can find minor errors in most, if not all, of the vids. In this case, i did sing the right lyric but the vocal effect blended the syllables to make it sound like "distance". thanks for commenting
Whoever you are, you need to keep doing this. Its amazing :D
yeah you are absolutely right ROAHHHH I'm glad he was noticed by the guitarists from APC... he will have nice career. He deserves it!
Wow, im blown away.
