Hey everyone!
To point something very obvious out again and since some people requested it: of course, this video was not recorded live on the spot. The audio was done in advance at my home. I was there with 2 friends and 1 single camera. In total, we made more than 8 recordings to have different angles. This video aims to be visually appealing as well and it would be completely crushed with hundreds of meters of cables lying around everywhere - this is still an electric piano. So again, what you hear is my performance, my hands playing the song. But of course, the sound was not recorded in the middle of the forrest. This fact has now lead to the first dislike of this video after almost 2 years and that kind of annoys me. It is not like I try to hide the background story of the video.

My first thought was that you had batteries in it lmao amazing work though, song is so beautiful and metal its amazing
*_This is good, but is it missing something, maybe some feeling? At times, you are just hitting the keys, not living through them._*
@RPRsChannel if it makes you feel that way. Thanks for your feedback
Surprised the animals in the woods didn't gather around......great job dude
Thank you again!
Hearing “Fade to Black” in a major key is unexpected and refreshing. Even though the song’s protagonist probably goes through with his plan to ‘just say goodbye”, you can’t help but feel hope that he changes his mind, eventually
Do you imagine Fade to Black in a mayor key? I was not sure if you refer to my video :)
@@YannickStreibert , your cover sounds as if it were done in a major key. Feels more uplifting than the original
Well then, thank you very much for your feedback :)
I believe the song is originally in b natural minor but i see some sources say it’s in G major
@@BaggyPopyeah its use of the F# gives it a more G major feeling i think, as well as C in descending scales also falling into the G major scale and not within the B minor scale. The whole solo ending itself is just very uplifting.
Gotta appreciate how you tried to match your pre-recorded audio here. Looks perfectly in sync! This has a few elements from Scott Davis' version
Thank you! I tried my best and this was the first video I created with prerecorded audio. And good ol' Scott Davis' arrangement was a part of my concerts in 2017, so yeah, his cover has got a huge influence on this video
You are absolutely the most underrated youtuber! I love your music, keep up the good work!
Thank you very much for your nice words :-) I will try my best!
Your playing is marvelous, you're amazing piano player 😮. It's fantastic!!!! Your thinking as musician is keeping me frozen ❤❤
Thanks so much♥
Full version. No shortcuts. No short skirt. Very impressive!
Thank you, Joseph! Very happy you appreciate that.
He did interrupt the solo at the end, which is the very best part of the song. It’s one of Kirk’s best solos
I am confused, what did I cut off? The fading out?😶 I follow the studio recordings, not live performances
Absolutely stunning performance 👏👏👏 I'm probably responsible for several hundred views over the last few years and just now realized I'd never liked or commented before. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us ❤
Thanks so much ♥ and sorry for my late response. It means a lot to me!
Next time your location should be Mount Rushmore at the very top
Alright, I'm in. Send me a helicopter though.
INCREDIBLE!!! 🙌🙌🙌 Sounds absolutely amazing. Love all the camera angles, the beautiful setting, and your composition and playing goes without saying! A work of art to be very proud of. Looking forward to the next one. And 👏👏👏 to Michael & Lucas.
Thank you Renée :-)
I will greet the guys from you!
Oh my gosh, that was so wicked awesome^^
Thank you very much :)
It is nice and I respect amount of work done behind this version but lets remember about context. Original song is about last words of dying man. It is about darkness, agony and emptiness. I don't feel it from this music. Actually it reminds me Mike Oldfield's Moonlite Shadow song. It was similar case of wonderful lyrics and perfect music but they are not synchronised by emotions.
Thanks for your feedback, Victor!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you, Kathy!
I bought your sheet music for this song and sheeshhh isn’t it hard as hell!!! I’m talking about when you have to play… what is it? 32nd notes?It starts on page 9. My left forearm started to burn like crazy! What a workout!! 😂
Haha, I am completely on your side. Ignore how it is notated. The idea is to play this part as fast as you can. But stay relaxed, so if you have to go for 8th notes or whatever, it is fine :) I think a heavy and fast bass makes it nicer and the idea was also to create Lars' double bass. Thanks for your support!
@@YannickStreibert this may be a long shot but you wouldn’t have made a different copy of the sheet music where it shows each 32nd note, or 16th, that coincides with the melody? You see… I have only been playing for two years (three this coming September) so I’m not good enough to synchronize the bass and melody yet. If you don’t have the sheet music then I will understand because it must be a pain to type up all those notes.
want this on my funeral
Happy you like it! Thanks for your comment
I hope you'll get many happy years before it comes to that.
I love coming back to see your videos! Incredible work, I love it.
Thank you very much again ♥ happy you like my videos :)
Man, what is this? WTF It's amazing! :O
Happy to see you here! Thank you very much :)
This is a brilliant idea. Love the multiple cameras too. 💯
Hey Praben, thank you! Happy to see you here
Perfect 💪🏽🔥
Thanks a lot :)
Just found your channel. My favorite song done in such a beautiful way! makes me want to relearn piano! thanks for this!!!
Thank you very much for youe nice comment! I hope you find back to the instrument🤗
Fantastic
Thank you!
Uff, amazing!
Thank you very much!
Fits way more here here. Far more natural than in the midi, but still feels like the vocal line overshadows and crowds the piece and would be much more comfortable on a separate instrument.
On an almost completely unrelated note, only connected as I see a lot of covers of harder and softer rock music on your channel, such as The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Metallica(duuh), etc.
How about metal? Have you ever heard the preludium to the Therion album Theli? The piece is brilliant. On the level of some of the greats of "classical" composers. Amazing what depth a man can reach with just a few presets of an electric keyboard. Seriously. Given just one chance to show what a keyboard instrument, be it digital, percussion, or woodwind can do, I'd have a tough choice between Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor and the Preludium.
Thank you for your feedback!
I will check the mentioned artist and write you again :)
But regarding metal piano covers, I have experienced limits that did not make me really enjoy certain covers. Let's just say Raining Blood by Slayer (some people did that on RUclips), with or without voice line, I cannot really enjoy that on the piano. And when it comes to very complex pieces which include many different instruments or lines, I always feel the need not to exclude something - which I totally try to avoid. That's why I never really made a cover of some of my favorite bands like Symphony X. Too much going on.
Honestly, you deserve more recognition
Thank you very much :)
This is my favourite song of all time and has been since i first heard it nearly 30 years ago. This is the best version of it ive ever heard and i include the original in that. It took me about 20 minites to get throigh this as i kept skipping back to rewatch bits.
Bravo.
Thanks so much, Michael. It means a lot ♥
Einfach Weltklasse Yannick!
Wirklich! Liebe die Metallica Covers, mach weiter so! Grüße Dave :)
Danke ebenfalls, Dave. Cool, dass du hier ab und zu reinschaust :-)
Bzgl. Metallica kommt bald nochmal was!
Freu mich schon drauf!
@@DaveDoc666 Hey Dave, hab' das neue Metallica-Video mittlerweile hochgeladen, falls du es noch nicht kennst :-) Schau' rein, falls du Lust hast.
That's really impressive! Considered doing one of "No leaf clover"?
Thanks, Dimitar! Yes, I do! There are so many Metallica requests before, but I feel like at one point I have to do that ✌ Thanks for suggesting!
Wowowowowow!!! How did you even get a piano there to plug it in? I make similar content too, you can have a look if you'd like!🎹🎶🎵
Thanks a lot for your comment! The piano has a total weight of just 20 kg. Very easy to move but with an amazing quality :-)
The rest is (very simple) magic ;-)
Omg
You did an amazing performance, I have been trying to learn the song off you other video with the cords layer out above the piano but I can’t quite get the hang of using 2 hands at the same time, well done!! You did amazingly well!! My most favourite performance!
Thank you very much! Lovely to hear :-)
Awesome beautiful Im listening from Tonga 🇹🇴 Island 🏝 🙏
Thanks again! You have told me before😉
Perfect. Very well done.
Thanks a lot, Darrell!
It is amazing! I like all your piano covers of Metallica, thanks. Please do Turn the page next.
Thank you very much, Olga! I have to see, Turn the Page is not one of my favorites regarding the vocal line and missing guitar solo. It will be difficult on piano. The current covers in progress are Return to Serenity from Testament and Enter Sandman from Metallica (and many more in the background 🤓).
@@YannickStreibert Turn the page is at your discretion. I look forward to the next covers Return to Serenity and Enter Sandman, Thanks
I've never heard it like this. Thank you ❤
Thank you very much as well! :)
So you recorded on location? Makes sense would be hard to perform exactly the same rubato a second time. Well done and gorgeous location.
Thank you for your nice words, happy you like it! But no: the audio is not recorded at the location, it would be impossible, require a huge ammount of cables lying around and disturbing the video. What you hear is my style to play the song and it is completely memorized, also the rubato. But of course the video recording took a couple of hours and nerves to be as perfect as I can bring it out :)
@@YannickStreibert Of course. Wow. Consider me even more impressed. That is quite an undertaking but the result is stunning.
Thanks a lot, Robert! Happy to see people taking care of the background of the video.
That's awesome..so tasteful..
Thank you again, Kedar! Much appreciated :)
Magic fingers dude
Thank you😊
Think this is brilliant!! Thinking of getting the sheets off Musicnotes, but think it might be a little difficult for me yet!!!
Thanks, Ian! It would be a pleasure. Are you an experienced player?
@@YannickStreibert no not really only at grade 3 level at to moment
Not so fimiliar with levels honestly. But take your time for this one. The cover has its difficulties
@@YannickStreibert ok thank you
Teclado desligado
Hi! Sorry, I had to use a translator and am still not sure if I got it right, but does it mean something like "Keyboard off"? If you refer to the fact that I am not playing live here, you are totally right! This was explained and requested a couple of times in the comments, there is no way to record a video like this in the forrest with several camera angles. The audio was recorded at home, the video on the spot to have a nice view :) I hope I got it right.
Lovely, thank you!
Thank you, David!
You rocked it !
Thank you very much!
Sooo underrated. Soo beautiful! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for your nice comment ♥️
@@YannickStreibert no problem man!🔥❤
Gold
Thank you, Danny😊
Amazing performance!
Thank you!
muy bueno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (soy de argentina) gran interpretacion!!!! excelente version!!!!
Muchas gracias, Walter. Mi novia viene de Buenos Aires😊 saludos!
Everything sounds super good here! Only thing I suggest is lower the volume in the editing process so the higher pitch notes along with the chords that are played don’t sound in a way where it’d give ear fatigue.
Thanks for your feedback, but I don't really understand what you mean - maybe you have better speakers. Can you give me an example where you see the problem mostly? In the final guitar solo? I can work with the audio for sure :)
@@YannickStreibert for example the first guitar solo in the beginning. It’s at 0:37 when the volume seems a bit too high. I’m not sure if it works but maybe use some sort of compressor pedal? It’d even out the volume so no notes are louder than ours
Thanks a lot for your opinion. I can hear what you mean. I recorded differently back then, using completely different settings and different equipment. Would you mind sharing your opinion to my latest videos? Maybe the last 1-4 to 4.
*and if you still see the problem.
@@YannickStreibert will do!
brilliant cover!
Thank you, Drew!
you harmonize around 6:11, nice.
Yes! I thought the melody only has 1 note at any time, so why don't use the other 4 fingers here and there. Nice you hear that!
