Wondering how does this cover sound for somebody that hasn't listened to original. My brains plays original version along everytime i listen to this awesome cover.
As much as I love the original version by Infected Mushroom, I also feel the need to come back to this from time to time. Can't believe this video is close to being 10 years old.
I wish so much that I could play like you, even if it's not really possible if I'd started seriously rehearsing at my age. I'm going to try though, as soon as I get access to the instrument, in a year or so. I've played some in music school and got basics; wish me luck.
***** Definitely wishing you luck. If you have any question or want tips, feel free to write me a message here, or through my FB page: facebook.com/FrankieThePianist. I think you can progress a lot just because of motivation - even if you start late.
Yeah, I think I would progress if I could play, now I can get to the piano like two times a month... ; ) Surely when I'll get my own one I'll appreciate your help, thank you. : )
For now this is the only Infected song I actually learned, for a paid requests project I did. If I another batch and more Infected songs are wanted - maybe. :)
And as another year passes, i lose count of just how many times i've listened to this *legendary* piano version. Still just as wonderful. And still my head nods silently in complete appreciation.
Having such an immensely unique approach to musical composition of such consistently supreme creativity & quality, Infected Mushroom demonstrates a level of pure genius that transcends any reasonable expectation of having their music properly covered with any serious degree of justice. And yet, here we have this video proving otherwise - and on a mere piano, no less. Absolutely incredible. Respect and admiration to the max. Bravo!
Wow! Mad respect to you sir! Very nice work of capturing the song in its entirety with just one instrument. The amount of skill and time you must have put in to do this is admirable.
Keep coming back to this one, it is just too amazing. While you are clearly a super talented musician yourself you also manage to showcase the genius of this Infected Mushroom composition on a single instrument. Well played indeed. Liked, favorited and subbed.
I was skeptical at first, but I think I found this to be just as powerful as the original when I first heard it. Amazing job man. You did this cover perfectly!
Thanks for all your comments! A tutorial would be too difficult for me to make right now, but there's a link to a breakdown of the song (structure and main melodies), check out the video description. It's right there next to the link to buy a collection of my piano versions. WINK WINK. :)
I am profoundly moved by this cover. It's like listening to this piece for the first time again. I almost forgot the feeling, and you helped me remember it. You're awesome, and i envy you.
This cover is so good that I can't do anything but visit this video every time the song comes on through my shuffled playlist. You are amazing at piano.
i love the way you just stand there looking at the piano for a few seconds without touching it after the song ended. i'm a musician too, and i understand that feeling of pleasure during and after playing a song :D i also have this "time" after playing where i just stand there feeling the energies of the melodies in the air hahaha
This is one of the greatest things I've ever watched. This song really takes me back to when I was a bad ass and didn't realize the repercussions of my actions. Pistols, drugs, plenty of girls, this song on a dark back road, windows down, heat on, stary ass sky's and not having a care. Nostalgia.
This is absolutely crazy man, I would've never thought such a song could even be adapted to piano in the first place. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!
Man, what I would give to have someone make a synthesia tutorial out of this...I can't read sheet music very well at all, so I learn everything through synthesia but there's nothing that compares to this D:
As someone who grew up listening to his grandpa play piano on a daily basis I just want to say this is downright awesome! Keep up the great playing my friend!
תשמע בנאדם אתה אלוף! שמעתי את זה בהתחלה ובחיים לא חשבתי שאתה ישראלי עד ששמעתי תסוף אתה פשוט מדהים נגינה מושלמת ומדהימה והקאבר באמת הכי טוב ששמעתי על פסנתר של מוסיקה בסגנון הזה
Dude, my favorite cover artist Ettenie Veneir literally just released his second attempt at heavyweight. I can not believe I am saying this but your cover is absolutely better then both his performances. You are the only person I can find on the internet with the level of pure talent he has. Please dont stop this, please keep making infected mushroom covers. P.S. You may also love listening to songs by artists as primus, ween, and savant. I sure do
I agree, this one is the closest thing to perfection.He transcribed all the melodies, riffs ,etc just perfectly for piano.This cover is INSANE.Etienne´s Heavyweight versions are very good but this is in another level.
Absolutely through the roof. just fantastic. was searching youtube for the covers infected mushroom made of other bands and found this. was not dissapointed
This is so awesome haha, love this song such a unique pattern. Dude has serious reading talent. 4:55 impressive. I will subscribe just because this guy is a savant.
וואו, פשוט מדהים, אין מילים. הקאבר הזה כל-כך טוב, ביצוע כל-כך נקי, איכות סאונד מושלמת, נשמה, וטכניקת ביצוע גבוהה. כל מה שנותר לי לבקש הוא עוד כמה קאברים כאלה של אינפקטד מאשרום. יש להם כל-כך הרבה שירים שמשוועים לקאבר טוב כמו זה.
Amazing! You capture the soul of Heavyweight on a single instrument, that's pretty fantastic and I love it. Will you be doing more Infected Mushroom anytime soon? If so, I can't wait!
I have commented before but I'll do it again. I just found this this year (2018). I have listened to it at least 20 times by now over the course of several months. You really did an incredible job capturing the themes of Heavyweight. I have played this for people who can't understand the music in electronic music because it makes the themes accessible. I just love it.
Oh my god. This is so amazing. It's your own personal version but you still managed to capture the feeling of the original song. Congrats, this is awesome.

Wondering how does this cover sound for somebody that hasn't listened to original. My brains plays original version along everytime i listen to this awesome cover.
when your head feels the piano tune and guitar riffs at the same time
Same hear
same here :)
like very good classic song with some jazz and blues touch
@@huyle2057 ikr, it kinda feels weird-
As much as I love the original version by Infected Mushroom, I also feel the need to come back to this from time to time. Can't believe this video is close to being 10 years old.
I do the same, 10 fucking years
Yeah... I've been coming back to this one for a long long time. It's so damn good.
Yes because normally liking a song means you shouldn't like another 🤦🏻♂️
@@BeardyGit89 What are you on about?
@@3arendel your comment insinuates that enjoying a cover as well as the original is somehow unusual.
I return to this cover from time to time just to see if it's still absolutely awesome. And indeed it is.
Thanks *****, I return to read awesome comments like yours :)

yes it is!
Please, touch this in my funeral.
For now this is the only Infected song I actually learned, for a paid requests project I did. If I another batch and more Infected songs are wanted - maybe. :)
It is simply amazing to me that while this cover of Heavyweight is on TH-cam for over 11 years it is yet to have been surpassed.
That's very kind of you. If you join me on Twitch I'm happy to try other IM songs.
This is ridiculously good... Still returning to this cover for years, one of the best covers of anything if not the best i ever heard.
And as another year passes, i lose count of just how many times i've listened to this *legendary* piano version.
Still just as wonderful. And still my head nods silently in complete appreciation.
Appreciate that! Come by my Twitch channel and follow so next time I'm live I can try replaying it live for you. Or anything else :)

Simon Carlsson Thank you so much!
This is an underappreciated piece of art.
This is the most amazing cover I've ever heard
THANKS man!
@@FrankieSimon hey men, i've been waiting to another cover or video, like... Since 4 years ago 😐
Doesn't get any less extraordinary as time goes on. It's still just as amazing today as it was the first time i heard this work of art.
The best piano cover of it. Perfect..
this deserves way more views
I could not agree more! :)

+Kaiwano Thank you very very much!
1:11 made me audibly gasp; that part is so GOOD!!
If anyone says IM are bad composers or musicians, they have no sense for music.
truth
Their writing has gone downhill with and after Army Of Mushrooms, though.
Zeeboon Project 100 is also a great composition, less acoustic than Heavyweight but still a masterpiece.
Adjeye YT
those "wobbles" bk n forth with headphones, tingles my senses, triiiiippy shit!
It is known.
Over 10 years old and i just found it today. Amazing, beautiful. Thankyou. My funeral song..
2019 crew but been here for a while. how could we not?! it's indeed the most epic of all covers
Yep, we know.
I haven’t had goosebumps in a long time, but this aced me.
Years go by and I always come back here to hear this masterpiece played with such perfection! Congratulations 👏🏻
I was skeptical at first, but I think I found this to be just as powerful as the original when I first heard it. Amazing job man. You did this cover perfectly!
This is amazing. U killed it
Thanks. :)
Garrett Morisato, maybe you can you sing without piano better?
Frankie Simon please upload the file transcription again
Thanks for all your comments! A tutorial would be too difficult for me to make right now, but there's a link to a breakdown of the song (structure and main melodies), check out the video description.

You are amazing at piano.
I never tire of hearing! You should play more Infected Mushroom!
וואו, משובח בנאדם!
מוכיח למי שלא חשב כך - עד כמה ארז אייזן גאון מוסיקלי
סחטיין עלייך, הייתי מת לדעת לנגן כמוך
Heavyweight is still my favourite IM track, I love to see covers of it and this is an awesome one, Thx man!
nailed it!!
there are no words to describe how awesome, amazing and incredible this is..... i'm speechless

You have no idea how many times ive listened to this.
its a pure-prefection cover
So amazing!

Frankie Simon Yeah I can understand that it's no simple task, but I'd definately love to hear more covers. Once again, great work!
This is an absolutely fantastic rendition! Really well done indeed, gladly added to my favourites list.

Will you do Infected Mushroom songs in the future?

I was here even before it had 30,000 views. And I keep on coming. Best piano rendition of a song I've ever listened to.
