I feel kind of bad for him.. From his comments you can see he's just a humble guy who likes covering music on his piano and appreciates the support he's given and I can just visualize him looking over the comments and thinking "Who is this Jojo that everyone is talking about?"
I am struck by the amount of 'like' that is receiving 'roundabout'. Fourth for the amount of views (the first three are very previous), it is second, going to become the first, for the amount of 'like'. I am struck also that the Italians represent only 7% of the audience, while the USA reaches 36% (Brazil and Japan 6.5%, UK 5.6%)
You don't have to worry about italian audience. That because its musical education is shifting toward other "qualities". If you don't believe me look for "rovazzi" now 1° in hit parade. But I warn you, it could hurt you ;-)
Thanks for your comment. What you say it is true, but my observation was based on the consideration that the Italians seem to prefer much more Genesis that the Yes or Emerson. All my videos are seen by a large part of Italian, but for those of Emerson and Yes are more views from the USA.
+Massimo Bucci + simply, Genesis are more popular. And their recent musical history is far more commercial than the other former progressive rock bands. Of course, just my opinion. I would also suggest to yt search for "Sandro di Pisa - Il rock progressivo", an ironic clip about progressive rock that gives his own answer to your question.
At this moment, "Roundabout" is a very popular song on the internet due to the use of the song as an end theme to the Japanese Anime "Jojo's Bizzare Adventure". The song is used to highlight the "cliffhanger endings" with the tagline "to be continued" appearing at the end of episodes. Subsequently, the part of the original track where the bass comes in has been used as a joke to highlight videos that end in cliffhangers.
Genesis is more popular and better-known today (although their pre-1980 work remains a specialty taste). That wasn't true in the early 70s. When people thought prog then, it was ELP and Yes they thought of. Genesis and King Crimson were more obscure and practically unknown in the US. Of course, Yes have continued to tour, playing their old stuff and some new. I saw them last year in Boston. Roundabout in particular is so well known, that even people not even close to being born in 1972 recognize it :)
a fascinating piano rendition of yes's "roundabout" i always thought that chris squire's bass line was untouchable. you watch this guy replicate it with his left hand and it looks even harder than i ever imagined.
Honestly just came here looking to learn the opening part, ended up sitting through the whole video because this is amazing. How does this not have more likes?!
Again, a big thank you to the US public about the large number of views and 'like' ! (the number of far even higher than that relating to the Italian public).
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there. Yes....I've tried to live my life by those words of wisdom by Yes. Keep positive. Keep loving. Keep it real. Massimo is a beast on the keys. Thank you for sharing!
In this moment, among my videos, "Roundabout", with 1658 'like' has just become the most liked of all. Thank you for your enthusiasm! I announce that I am preparing the full (piano) version, even with the Wakeman Solo :)))
It's a real good cover, just hope you know a large chunk of the following is thanks to the anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (they used Roundabout for the credit sequence and would go to 'to be continued' with the intro from the song)
On 4 May, it was my birthday and you have given me 121 'like', just for this video, and another 10 for other videos: a great record, from 2012 to today! :)))
Sir you may be wondering why is this video so successful, so let me tell you: First of all, you are amazing. Since my early childhood, I aime to be at least a 10% as talented as you are. And secondly, this song appears as the ending theme song of a Japanese anime show called JoJos Bizarre Adventure, that may explain its popularity since it is a show known and praised around the world.
I have to say. I've been playing piano for 11 years and I didn't practice like I should for the longest, but after having watched this video several months ago, I've started practicing seriously every day for multiple hours. Thank you so much. Good work!
The Pillar Men were brought to their knees by this amazing performance! Seriously, you're so good at piano. I wish to be able to play like you. I was swaying to this. Really brightened my day! Thank you!
I came here to see the transposed from the guitars and vocals to piano version and am not disappointed at all, this is absolutely insane. But I feel bad that half of the comments are JoJo's bizarre adventure pt2 references and crap, we get it, you guys watched a show that featured a YES song in it. But besides that, this is absolutely insane.
it speaks to the genius of this man that, every time I want to listen to roundabout, I can't decide whether to listen to this or the original most of the times I end up listenign to both
You're left hand technique is amazing! I was wondering how that bassline was even possible on piano. As a pianist myself, how long have you played piano and how did you build your left hand strength so much?
Ho scoperto solo oggi questa gemma. Questa cover è eccelsa. Non va perduto nulla del mood e del sound originale del pezzo. I miei complimenti più sinceri 🔝🔝🔝
Hari Having played classical piano and been a devoted fan of Yes, I think it is really well done considering that he has to cover melody as well as different instruments with one instrument. Well done!
Fucking incredible. I looked this up to see if it existed, and my expectations were blown out of the water and into the stratosphere by an atomic blast.
this man infused his piano with hamon energy to ward off three aztec god of fitness. joke aside, thank you for this beautifull play.
😂😂😂😂
HAMON LIKE ZEPPELIN !!!
@@rec_unit6360holy crap I just realised the Zeppelis are a reference to Led Zeppelin. I'm really stupid lol
@@sebastian-benedictflore what ? Can you explain?
@@rec_unit6360 characters and stands in JoJo are named after famous rock bands and their songs.
I feel kind of bad for him.. From his comments you can see he's just a humble guy who likes covering music on his piano and appreciates the support he's given and I can just visualize him looking over the comments and thinking "Who is this Jojo that everyone is talking about?"
+Jensen Walsh problem solved ;-)
It has been 2 years so im sure he know.
just to clear what jojo is, jojo is an anime show that in the first part end cutscene, uses this song.
It's the best rendition of roundabout I 've heard on piano. 👍

Only after watching a pro play this song on a piano do I appreciate the complexity of this song. This was awesome
@nicksonksen9779 Thank you very much!

Is it useless to be waiting for sheet music for this? Would you ever consider writing it down and releasing this arrangement?
Please make sheet music, you're arrangement is the only good piano transcription of this song
that meme
Over 1000 likes and only one dislike. Magic.
No, thank you for pulling such an amazing cover xD

Thanks for the info. When I uploaded the video I did not know of the existence of JOJO. And thanks for the compliment :-)
Karura
The original song is roundabout. I think you meant that the look for the to be continued sign is from jojo
And because IT belong to YES. Very good. Congratulations from Chile
I had the record on a while back and the kids came running out wondering what I was watching.... It was like opening a bag of chips....
He's doing the bass line and the piano line at the same time. It's genius
Three dislikes? Fuck, it's the Pillar Men. We're done for.
All JoJokes aside, this cover is absolutely stellar.
"JoJokes" clever :)
Seriously though, this IS one of the best piano covers I've ever heard
@@austinwiebe3801
I agree
😂😂😂😂
Magnificent performance Massimo. Enough to make Rick Wakeman proud and delightfully entertained.
+Mike Adams Thank You, Mike
When Hamon, manliness and music come together in an unholy fusion of pure awesomeness.
jojo brought me here but this mans ability has me staying
Still giving joy 4 years later. So glad I found this! Thank you!
Bro this guy has the best Hamon breathing. The fact he’s playing this and he’s calm and not freaking out. Hamon breathing lord
Im the only one who is searching jojokes in comments?
Jokes aside, YOU'RE AMAZING! I really love it
more like master *Pucci*
Goddammit-
I loved it. Especially the base line he played.
Thank Jojo for reunite us old gen, new gen, anime fans and music nerd together
OH MY GOD !
the smooth movement your hands make on the keys give me goosebumps, this was fucking amazing
Jesus, you made me cry by how awesome youve played this song, thank you so much!
Gonna go rewatch 1 season of Jojo now...
A single man performing the greatness of chris squire, steve howe and jon anderson AT THE SAME TIME! Simply genious
This deserves more recognition.
Why the fuck does this masterpiece have less than 4000 views? Holy fucking shit this is one of the best piano covers I've heard
I have to say. I've been playing piano for 11 years and I didn't practice like I should for the longest, but after having watched this video several months ago, I've started practicing seriously every day for multiple hours. Thank you so much. Good work!

Your awesome man. God has truly blessed you. Keep up the great work. God Bless. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Nothing is missing here. Full version. Great playing.

Thank you Iris. He will be missed.
Cheers
The way he integrates Wakeman's keys and Howe's guitar lines into the main body of the song is pretty damn awesome. Excellent job.
Thank You Michael O'Connor😊

At 0:51-7:21 Sec Is Route 60 Roundabout In Fredonia, New York

Yes indeed, should feel honoured I think that you regard their music so highly as to play it so wonderfully!
***** beautiful comment, thanks!
Mia figlia me ne ha fatti sentire tanti...bellissimi...ma in questa ti superi....tutti gli strumenti...complimenti vivissimi.
Grazie! Soprattutto a tua figlia! :-)
Dudes left hand on that squire bass is stellar. Well done indeed

That opening gave me shivers.
技術、再現度共に何回観てもブラボーすぎる
Wonderful! You really dived into the spirit of this piece. ❤
Anderson, Wakeman, Squire, White, Howe all wrapped up in one guy, amazing. it's fun listening to you Massimo, gratzi!
Amazing performance, really fun to see and listen too!
6000 Likes! Thanks a lot to everyone!!!
Massimo Bucci You deserve it. Simple as that.
Thank you! :-)
This is the best possible piano version I've ever heard, sir.
You're left hand technique is amazing! I was wondering how that bassline was even possible on piano. As a pianist myself, how long have you played piano and how did you build your left hand strength so much?
Incredible bass!!!!
i laughed, cried, applauded like an idiot in my room, shouted a couple of times. Quite a ride. Thanks
This video should be watched by every Yes fan around the world 🌎
As a longtime Yes fan, I think this is fantastic. A work of art.
Ogni volta che riascolto, dopo anni, questa interpretazione mi lascia sempre qualcosa di nuovo. Bravissimo ancora
この曲をピアノ🎹で引いても原曲感あります。
Once again; you’ve made me weep…
Ho scoperto solo oggi questa gemma. Questa cover è eccelsa. Non va perduto nulla del mood e del sound originale del pezzo. I miei complimenti più sinceri 🔝🔝🔝
I never thought that could happen!! Very adequate transposition indeed. Moto Bravissimo.
Grazie Maestro. Da lei bellezza in quantità industriale. Un conforto per tempi bui.
Thank you beautiful, honoring and inspiring rendition!
Your left hand plays that bass like one ones business! Most excellent!
5000! Alleluia!
Awesome job such talent
Also a brilliant execution.

Having played classical piano and been a devoted fan of Yes, I think it is really well done considering that he has to cover melody as well as different instruments with one instrument. Well done!
Beautiful thanks for sharing!
Bravo....Well played...added to my bucket list of songs. Cheers!!
Das Klavier der König der Instrumente, grandios gespielt
これめっちゃ好き
Re-listening and re-watching. I am in awe of your skill Massimo. Brought a tear to this old man's eye!
The bass line is perfect!
Thank You. In the final arrangement (complete) the bass line is even better, for a small detail that is missing here.
You can tell he plays it joyfully
THAT BASSLINE
Masterfully done!
Bravo, perfetto !!!
"Was that something beautiful, amazing, wonderful, extraordinary
beautiful!!!"
Grazie !
Un fan italiano in più! Bravo!
maestoso, melodico, brioso e soprattutto sereno!! grazie maestro bucci buona domenica!! :)
Grazie, altrettanto!
This is my favorite piano version of this piece. Amazing! Cant stop listening to this.
Absolutely splendid!! :) Being a huge Yes fan and a longtime admirer of Chris Squire(may he rest in peace), I think you did a magnificent job!!
Absolutely beautiful. God bless you and thank you.
Bravo! ❤from Brazil.
Just in awe. And I play well!
