Still here in 2024. I've heard many Mars Volta covers since you first posted this series, but these compositions still reign supreme! Thank you for posting these all those years ago, your piano covers are and have been a treasure to any TMV fans that happen to find them.
This video made me get an account just to comment. This cover is flawless. Absolutely amazing. I never would have thought this song could sound like this on a piano. I couldnt give you more credit.
Holy Crap. Dude, you better be making a sh*tload of money with those skills. that was the most intense thing ive ever heard on a piano. Needless to say, you F-in rock
Man, I love the mars volta... One thing I really REALLY loved was the strings quartet cover of de-loused in the commatorium. I found it so pretty. You covering this by piano gives the song a much calmer feeling to it, a whole different emotion arises out of it. Great video. Will you cover anything form their newest album? Bedlam in Goliath?
Whoa, that was awesome. Great song. Love how you made it into a lyrical kind of thing with the melody. Experts only. Haha, i'm going to have to give this one a try.
It's pretty interesting seeing this. I've just seen a interview with Omar here on youtube where he says the reason why he started playing guitar was actually because of some Puerto Rico salsa piano player. Great job!
i used to put a lot less effort into my covers, just play it really simply. i think maybe that now theyre getting more views im trying to incorporate more parts/complexity into the song which couldbe taking away from it a little. i dunno lul
I was about to whine about walking old ground instead of branching out. I'm shutting up now, you definitely know what the hell you're doing. Can't wait to hear your new take on Eria Tarka. Speaking of branching out, however, working on any new TMV or Radiohead songs?
@iroddable There are pedals down by his feel. During the softer interlude sections, he presses on, which shifts the keys up and makes the notes have a softer attack. When released, they shift back, allowing more volume and louder articulation.
argg ill learn this one too :D thx thumprey 4 updload this videos, thx to u, now i can play tetragrammaton, asilos magdalena n televators! ;D keep uploading such nice music!
Can you please indulge us on the amount of preparation time that goes into each cover? How many times do you practice the song before recording it live? Incredible work. I would pay for a collection of these songs on CD and I'd pay to see you play it live. If you had the desire, you could play a full show with simply you and your piano. Thanks for posting.
I like these covers of Mars Volta songs. Its weird you really bring out some of the excellent meledies that seem to get lost or buried in the originals.
I don't know if you did this for a reason or not, but in the chorus where it goes C, E, D, B with your left hand, it should be C, E, D, C. At least, that's how Omar plays it. Good job though, beautiful!
thanks :D it doesnt take that long. i normally have a good idea of how its played before i sit down at the piano and its just a matter of finding out what key its in and then tweaking it.. t
i will be pretty soon, im almost done with the 'list' i had of stuff to do for this summer. once i go back to school ill probably be working on only mars volta and radiohead for awhile
dude... just to let you know, I'm downloading all your vids, ripping the audio from them, and stuffing them on my ipod. because your covers are just that good and we have like, the same taste in music.

I remember listening to this over 10 years ago when you originally recorded it and I'm glad it's still in my favorites.
Hits me in the feels

You actually reproduce the strong emotions I got during the first listen of the original song. Gosh this is beautiful ...this one and Eriatarka
You made a masterpiece version of a masterpiece song.
I found this just days after you posted it. Hard to believe it's been 14 years. Still chokes me up!
never seen a bad comment on your TMV covers, just awe and adulation.
speaks volumes about your playing and TMV fans 🙏
This is beautiful. I kept waiting for Ced's vocals to kick in. Just loving your covers.
And I still come back to this
Same after 12 years or more
Pretty much can't listen to the original song without wanting to watch this!
Always revisiting your video. Thank you for sharing man.
This video made me get an account just to comment. This cover is flawless. Absolutely amazing. I never would have thought this song could sound like this on a piano. I couldnt give you more credit.
Holy heck! Unbelievably amazing! Great work!
That was the most amazing thing i've ever heard on a pioano, holy shiiiit...!
Man, this is so fucking nice. You catch all the artistic sense of Omar's music, and your version of Eriatarka is WOOOONDERFULL.
Still coming back after all these years ❤
What a piece of music
I have always loved this cover. Glad I found it again like 13 years later haha
I'm not crying you are!
Every note that you play there has a lot of passion, perfect.
Maravilhosa versão!
First time I heard the chorus I got a chill down my spine. Awesome cover.
Brilliant
I would buy an album of this in a heartbeat.

By the way, your touch to the piano is beautiful.
Holy Crap. Dude, you better be making a sh*tload of money with those skills. that was the most intense thing ive ever heard on a piano. Needless to say, you F-in rock
I'm not kidding or exasperating at all when I say this...

I miss the old recording of this song. Put them back up. It may have not been as solid but that's what made it unique and powerful.
Once again. Beautiful.

TMV is amazing
Amazing dude you continue to impress me!!! better than the last one indeeed!
i used to put a lot less effort into my covers, just play it really simply. i think maybe that now theyre getting more views im trying to incorporate more parts/complexity into the song which couldbe taking away from it a little. i dunno lul

this goes into favorites.
Holy crap.. Mad skill man.

ahh i meant to download that awhile back, completely forgot about it, thanks for reminding me
Amazing, keep up that artistic vein pumping
I like these covers of Mars Volta songs. Its weird you really bring out some of the excellent meledies that seem to get lost or buried in the originals.
totally amazing. wow. i just don't understand how your able to do this, but i will get there eventually.
great build up on the first verse. well done!
dunno how its possible, but theres the proof, simply amazing
dude, you'r amazing.
you really are.
kisses from argentina
Hey this is awesome, truly magical!! And, is it me, or do the keys keep shifting from side to side?! Its very subtle, but weird...
AMAZING! Has a very different feel to the original, but I love it. Keep up the good work!
You should definitely record these and release them, I would love to have these is good quality.
Beautiful.
Excellent job, well done.
great as always
jajajaja opino lo mismo q el de antes eres una leyenda , you are a legend
congradulations on being a badass dude
it's a cover dude. and it is very well done
I don't know if you did this for a reason or not, but in the chorus where it goes C, E, D, B with your left hand, it should be C, E, D, C.
At least, that's how Omar plays it.
Good job though, beautiful!
thanks :D it doesnt take that long. i normally have a good idea of how its played before i sit down at the piano and its just a matter of finding out what key its in and then tweaking it.. t
Fucking spot on mate! ;) Even your dynamics are awesome! Well played! (Y)
You my friend are amazing!
dude, HOLY SHIT. this is sooo fucking cool.
Sooooo Daaamn Good!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
so awesome!
ill do some of it this summer
i will be pretty soon, im almost done with the 'list' i had of stuff to do for this summer. once i go back to school ill probably be working on only mars volta and radiohead for awhile
amazing man, amazing
This song is not one of my favorites by The Mars Volta. But this piano cover is incredible. I prefer to listen to it over the original any day.
Wow! That was fucking amazing man.
yeah the left pedal moves the mallets(and keys) a little bit to the side to "dampen" the sound making it softer
Really beautiful and interesting. I would centainly love to find these song on a record or a torrent file . Will you do that?
Holy shit thats incredible
beautiful
I love it!
Amazing.
Keys shifting, and then it turns black and white at about 3:47 lol. Awesome cover!
dude... just to let you know, I'm downloading all your vids, ripping the audio from them, and stuffing them on my ipod. because your covers are just that good and we have like, the same taste in music.
Please share
beautiful metaphor
Thumphrey05, you blow my f'in mind!
