"I'm not as good as Jordan (yet)." That's the right attitude man! Hahaha I hate it when people act like it's impossible to be as good (or better) than him. Practice, practice, practice.
Dude, it''s been 10 years, it' s time you recorded a New version, exactly the same awesome way. I have admired this masterpiece for 10 years and I will do for 10 more. But please make it one video!
Wooow, I cried, very beautiful your arrangement, has not changed from the original, but managed to put all the arrangements of the whole band on the piano!
Tal vez no entiendas nada de lo que escribire ahora, pero te juro que hiciste que se llenaran los ojos de lagrimas. Lejos la mejor version que he escuchado de este temazo. Que mas puedo decirte, estas para cosas enormes en tu vida de pianista.
Obviously deserves more views. Probably one of the BEST videos I have seen this past week. I only wish my speakers could go louder. Thanks for the wonderful video. Mabuhay ka.
I wanted to transcribe this whole masterpiece for Double Bass and Bassoon as a duet, because I wanted to play it with my girlfriend that I really love, I had finished the Full Circle part and 2 days after that she broke up with me ... It makes me cry every time I hear this song ... Great cover man, thank you for the awesomnes and talent sharing. Cheers
Lame, i came onto youtube to look up something specific, but it suggested i watched this and now i've forgotten what i wanted to look up... great cover! sort of captivated me.
I love this song and i love this version, thank you! I love it. My favorite part is at the 8:00 where you pull a Rudess and go crazy fast, nicely done!
WOW, what amazing playing Michal !!!. Keep the magic of playing with just a piano ( and a millon tons of talent, of course ). And you have that. As meny other mentioned, we really really really love to have some sheets. At least, for these group of simple mortals, try to understand a part of your talent. Thanks for sharing your music with all of us. Thumbs up from Argentina.
The world just stopped spinning for a while. You're amazing! saw your cover of "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish and then I went to your channel and found this ! DT- is my all time favorite band! respect!
Rudess plays it with one hand. But yeah, playing it with 2 hands is hard because maintaining focus on the bassline is annoying when so much is going on the lead. More importantly, those annoying B minor upward arpeggios are annoying enough on semi weighted keys. Playing them with full weight is a task indeed.
hi from Thailand! i've been wondering if there'd be someone making a new arrangment for Octavarium as piano solo and here it is. Outstanding! u did an Epic!
Good heavens... Man, that was just incredible, thank you for giving the world a new version of this song which quality and feeling definitely rival with the original...
Damn good job sir. Haha that synth solo part is killer though, I play it too... Great job attempting it with only one hand, the Wizard uses two himself! Well played
Congratulations men!!! maybe don't be like Jordan, but have your style, really make a great job, congratulations and my admiration for you.... Saludos desde México... :D
@Gugered And only 2 dislikes! Incredible! He's from Poland so I'll write something to him in Polish;) Nie mam pojęcia jakim cudem opracowałeś i nauczyłeś się na pamięć całego octavarium, ale jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem! Wykonanie także nie zostawia wiele do życzenia, tak więc ćwicz dalej i zaimponuj przed większą publicznością! Gratulacje!
Thanks to people like you, who are masters of music, the life of regular people, like I am, is so much richer. You make our day! You make it so much easier for us to face a hard day. I thank you all!
Having the balls to attempt this song alone is nothing short of greatness. To capture the song perfectly is indescribable.
"I'm not as good as Jordan (yet)."
That's the right attitude man! Hahaha
I hate it when people act like it's impossible to be as good (or better) than him. Practice, practice, practice.
I think I speak for pretty much every Dream Theater fan. PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL!!!
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him
If JR ever quits DT like MP did, the search for replacement might be easier than I thought! Thnx for the vid!
Dude, it''s been 10 years, it' s time you recorded a New version, exactly the same awesome way. I have admired this masterpiece for 10 years and I will do for 10 more. But please make it one video!
This is one of my favorite videos of all time (well, two videos) on youtube
7:27 killing it!
Great job! If you made sheet music for this I (among many others) would greatly appreciate. :)
How did I only discover this now?
I had never thought of seeing this song played only on the piano. Impressive!!
after 13 years this is still amzing
I rate "Octavarium" right up there with "A Change of Seasons" as one of Dream Theaters greatest achievements. Wonderful version, I loved it!
A change of seasons is unreachable.
Wooow, I cried, very beautiful your arrangement, has not changed from the original, but managed to put all the arrangements of the whole band on the piano!
Screw the mistakes man! This is amazing!
I encourage everyone who's asking for the sheet music to just try and learn it by ear, it will do you good
senna01 true 🤔
MAESTROOOOOO!!!!
It's one of the best Octavarium cover I have ever seen. Its just wonderful wonderful wonderful!!! Keep uploading your cover videos, I hope^^
WoooooW you powned that solo!!
The keyboard solo and the bass at the same time... You are my hero.

that was absolutley flawless
How could anyone dislike this?
You don't even have to like DT to think this is awesome!
This is awesome, my friend.
dude this was amazing. end of story. Rudess would be proud.
this is amazing!! sounds great! cant imagine how much time it must have taken to get it all down!
This was brilliant. You sir, I don't care what anyone says, are awesome. I'd love to just shake your hand. DT for life, and this was beautiful.

Oh my God...that is literally one of the best things I've ever seen. I had crazy chills throughout. Amazing work :D
Dude, seriously. Incredible. I cant believe someones put the time into this.
I love the pianos massive sound and deep bass.
Wow.. Dream Theater is my favorite Band. I'm really glad to hear you play a song by them. ;)
Amazing

You made my eyes water and cast my ears into eternal bliss. I have no words for this amazing accomplishment.

Truly magnificent. Well done my friend!

The cover of Someone Like Him was just sheer awesome.
i don't see any mistakes. you're expressiveness and accuracy are both amazing :) great cover. music like this needs people like you.
Excellent arrangement my friend.
This video has the highest likes/dislikes ratio of any video i've seen in a long, LONG time. So for that, well done!
Fantastic work. Rudess himself would be proud of this.
I love this song and i love this version, thank you!
I love it. My favorite part is at the 8:00 where you pull a Rudess and go crazy fast, nicely done!
You don't need to be sorry, there were hardly any mistakes. You are simply awesome! Rudess himself would be impressed, that's for sure.
dream theater music stoped being cool...and just being Beautiful epic the best of human creation... cheers for the great cover, very hard work :)
Minha infância toda. Amo ouvir cada segundo.
AMAZING! I'm crying now :') !

such a great interpretation of this awesome tune. you've really got talent man. really inspiring!
unfassbar gut! dieses video anzusehen bereitet wirklich freude, bitte weiter so :-)
The world just stopped spinning for a while. You're amazing!
saw your cover of "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish and then I went to your channel and found this ! DT- is my all time favorite band! respect!
This is absolutely class
You nailed my favorite keyboard solo! You are awesome!!!
Excellent!!! Wow!! Jordan needs to see this!
WOW that was Amazing, you are very talented and if you made any mistakes I definetly didnt hear any. FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!!!!!
That keyboard solo is a tall task for the right hand to carry out alone. A noble attempt sir, trying to do what Jordan did with half the fingers.
Rudess plays it with one hand. But yeah, playing it with 2 hands is hard because maintaining focus on the bassline is annoying when so much is going on the lead. More importantly, those annoying B minor upward arpeggios are annoying enough on semi weighted keys. Playing them with full weight is a task indeed.
You are a Master !!!
Eres un maestro !!!
