- Lateralus by Tool. A picture falls off the piano at 8:50...couldn't have stayed up there for another 20sec!!??...whatever, guess it gives the vid a little more character. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with this take overall. Thanks for listening!
Hey, Adam Monroe, this video is 15 years old and still absolute top and goosebumping like fresh morning air, like first kiss! I hope you're well and hope you still play the piano through this dark times. We miss you mate so much
🍻
@@monroe12478 Any chance you could do a new recording of this? Your new set up would make it sound so good.
@@Sharks545 been so long since I played it you prob wouldn't want to hear it 😝
@@yup1579 that would be intense 😬
still the best piano version after 8 years..
9 years :D
10 years.
Still.
Still the best August 2018
Wonderful, really!
15 years later and I still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first watched this.
13 years later and I still come back at least once a year to listen to this amazing performace. Rock on!
You and me both!
Me too ,I can't not
It's been 13 years and it's still the best Tool piano cover of all of the times.
So sad this man isn't around TH-cam anymore... hopefully he's ok. Talent and commitment like that shouldn't be wasted.
He is still around youtube. Different account. Go to adammonroemusic dot com. On the youtube video there, you can click "watch on youtube" and it takes you to his current account. However, he doesn't have any covers that I saw.
He just posted a new videooo
Amazing how 16 years later this is still relevant. I love it.
I'm surprised as well. Figured it would have been forgotten by now 🤷🏻♂️
@@monroe12478 No way this is forgotten. This is my favorite version of this song. Excellent job!!!
I would throw money at you to do a professional-quality recording of this - it's such a great cover, and your voice is reminiscent of Maynard's without being an outright copy. and the fact that this was a *live recording* I can't even.
(I am aware that this video is 12 years old, I just love it so much
Whenever anyone says "This is the best Tool cover" I show them this, and they stand corrected lol. Monroe, YOU HAVE AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST HANDS DOWN!
Hasn't been a better piano cover of Lateralus in almost 15 years. Pretty good run man.
I love you, still... many, many years later... one of my favorite YT videos of all time. So much passion and beauty. I wish I was your neighbor.
+CognizantxNight Because he'd hear him playing piano through the window.
Indeed. So many years have passed since I first saw this that just the sound of the first chord makes me nostalgic.
I honestly felt like I needed to get up from my laptop and give a standing ovation for that. That. Was. Brilliant. Thank you for performing this.
This is one of the most talented displays of music abilities I've seen
This is still absolutely glorious.
2024 and I still revisit this vid on a regular basis. Nothing even comes close to this brilliant interpretation. I would honestly pay money to have the audio cleaned up/remastered so I could stream it. It would be on repeat in my playlists. I just love it and to this day it still has me completely awestruck.
I honestly have no idea as to how I should respond to this. I'm MINDBLOWN. It's as if you aren't apart of this world.. I can barely create a combination of words to express my feelings... Thank you.
I've spiraled so far out, I can hardly breathe!!!! This is stunning!! Thank you SO much for sharing your immense talent & for inspiring all of us musicians to keep going!!!
16 years and it’s still the best Lateralus cover ever. Piano represents it so well and your voice hits as close to Maynard as anyone can get. I’ve listened to this multiple times over the years.
Really appreciate that. Thank you 🙏
9 years and still one of the best videos on the internet
I love coming back to this piano cover. Still amazing and undefeated
🙏
Hey Adam just thought I'd drop you a line I found this video over a decade ago along with your others, I think I have shown a thousand people this video.. I love your piano love your voice and hope you're doing well these days! Just something about this one in particular that is raw, unrefined, and pure talent. Most can never appreciate the monumental effort and work put into doing what you did here.
So for what it is worth from a random stranger on the internet, thank you for making something I consider truly special
Hey John. Really appreciate you're kind words.
Other than wishing I had more time for music these days, I'm doing great. You're comment is inspiring me to play and that really means a lot. Thanks again! 🙏
@@monroe12478 You have a gift man, and I'm going to venture to say you're likely at your happiest when this is what your doing.. I know all too well life gets in the way sometimes... Usually in the form of responsibilities that make it difficult to prioritize/justify to yourself in a meaningful way anything that does not immediately contribute to fulfilling those responsibilities... That's just me though... But a longtime friend offered me a perspective while discussing this exact thing... Peace and mindset in which nobody but you can understand that occurs when your eyes are closed singing your ass of, fingers floating effortlessly across the keyboard without any conscious thought.. is worth something...a lot actually... It serves to counteract the negative energy that every living person encounters every day.. And by using it to balance the negative out.. it brings out the best version of you and every other aspect of life..
Again I'm speaking for myself but I'm hoping you can relate... For example I possess the world's most useless, non productive, and irrelevant natural talent..finger tapping... Been doing it my whole life..makes me no money, entertains a few, annoy the s*** out of most... And recently started doing it again after that friend out of nowhere just told me.."dude, you do your best thinking, you're less stressed out, and nothing else in the world matters when your doing your thing... Quit minimalizing it. Use it."
Alright did not mean to write a whole novel here but thought I would share because I can't even imagine you of all people with your talent forced to put it on a back burner.. because that would be nothing short of a tragedy.
Take care and thanks for the reply 🙏
anyone else think that the music of the divine is in our grasp? , tool gave us the songs , now we just need a 30 piece choir, and a full orchestra, someone to arrange it (im happy to do so lol I can hear already), and this guy on the keys, This guy just convinced me that is was creation was u to when it started this experiment, seriously dude, a feat working it out let alone playing it my hat is tipped sir, (just incase anyone feels the need to walk through the door I opened im waiting for the "but tool is divine music" comment, it is but imagine it on a full orchestra)
here is lateralus played by the Koto Ensemble. awesome take on the song
/watch?v=dm2glu3WLGk
tzDub92 This is unbelievable! Thanks for sharing
np, ya its really cool
I would be willing to help finance such an endeavor. That has always been a dream of mine to hear tool played by a full orchestra.
That would be SOUL ENLIGHTENINGLY MARVELOUSSSSS!!! I can hear it in my head also. :o I think back to 1999, when Metallica performed live with the San Francisco Symphony, and it was fucking EXCELLENT. Metallica's best live performance by far, in my opinion (along with one of their performances with Cliff Burton). Metallica is one of my top ten favorite bands, but Tool is definitely my numbah 1! And thinking about the '99 S&M concert makes me think about how stellar it would be for Tool to perform with an orchestra. There is infinite potential for the idea od such a divine sounding performance!
I come back to this every year or so, reminds me of my fallen friend who showed it to me when you released it. Thanks always Monroe.
years later I am an adult no longer a child and still I enjoy a good cover . Thanks Mr Monroe. Keep it up! would love to hear another from you. Rosetta stoned completed. Your short cover was fantastic.
You are up there with the great like Mozart and Beethoven, even if its covers, you give them such new life and energy to songs. The fact you can sing while doing this as well..unbelievable.
I just cannot believe. This is perfect.
I'm in love with the band, with the song, with your cover!
Spiral out! Keep going! :)
Look at him, pure channeling. I return to this video every now and then and I'm reminded about our incredible talent as humans.. and at the same time saddened by the wasted talent floating around out there distracted by anxiety and self doubt. Now to work on myself..
You should end all your videos with a picture falling 15 seconds before the end. That could be your thing. In all seriousness, this is one of the best videos on the internet.
Still confoundedly amazing. After 5 years still gives me chills
I’ve been watching this video on YT for over 10 years and still to this day, it’s my favorite video on TH-cam. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us - just makes me so happy to watch and listen ❤
@@natalierizzo1 makes me happy in turn to read your comment 😊🙏
You and your choice of music, are amazing. Thank you for living on this planet.
2018 and I’ve only just seen this video...
What have I been doing with my life?
Amazing stuff dude!
“FEED MY WILL TO FEEL THIS MOMENT!” :)
... and 10 years later, still coming back to listen
where oh where have you gone Adam Monroe... Miss your fantastic work.
adammonroemusic dot com.
17 years and still kicking asses like a boss !! The best epicsupreme cover
🙏
Unbelieveable. I have decided not to post comments on youtube. But this version of the classic Tool song forces me to express - gets better each time I listen to it.Thanks - you have given me one of the great musical experiences.For once, I don`t trust my own ears.
you know a rock group has talent when it can sound this good on a piano. i would pay money for this show
Best Tool cover on piano, by far. I think I know this video for about 10 years, probably. But everytime I come here, I still get amazed.
Really appreciate that 🙏🙏
bloody hell mate ya got a wicked voice. Well done!. Spiral out, keep going mate. :-)
This is so beautiful, Tool is the closest thing I have feeling to a religion experience, this is church for me!
Amen my freind :)
try a spiritual practice and stick to it. Meditation, yoga swami, chanting, there's also bowing practice. Religious experience is real, you can seek it out. And it happens from within.
It is the closest mirror to the universe
Over the last several years I’ve very often come to this video. It has helped me get through difficult times. Just wanted to thank you.
Mr. Z.Z. Thank you. I’m humbled by your comment and happy to have played a role in helping you get through difficult experiences. For me, that is one of the most satisfying effects about sharing something like this. Makes me want to play more. Wish you the best.
that was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Definitely gave me a new appreciation for the song, which I already fucking loved!!
how about a 2016 version ? u know better sound quality and stuff ! ;) I'd like to add it to my playlist but the soundquality permits it.
lets make it a 100 likes so we get some attention to this topic :) !
One day
nah, I like it for what it is.
sure its awesome
but...
Incredible, this dude nails it, there is 181 dislikes for this video right now I DO NOT GET THAT AT ALL. Are people really that blind to Greatness. This is the best possible homage you can give a band as incredible as TOOL and this is exactly what they want out of it and not your dollar. To the guy in the video STANDING APPLAUSE here man.
So many chills.That was brilliant.
beautiful man..... bringing progressive metal absolutely on piano is a tough job... hats off..!!!
Passion is not lost. True love for music, the feeling that you have when you get the chills just thinking about how great a piece of music is, and it therefore, commonly, becomes a sort of addiction,
THAT is when you know that music is played right. I think this video is living proof that when a passion for music and a desire to "rock the shit" out of a song are combined, the results are nothing short of amazing. All true musicians should vow to do nothing less. Then, maybe, we will be free.
I guess it was too much awesome for the picture too handle, sad that you no longer make these wonderful covers.
Hes back :D
Just so good..... that is a talent I wish I could pull off
LessAmericans Practice mate, this guy started playing the piano when he was 5 years old.
djpanda123 practice is best I started piano when I was 10 now im 12 my teacher says I gots talent so im gonna practice tell im like this :-D
This
is pure Gold!! See it first time 13 years ago and seeing again in 2020!!
You are FUCKING INCREDIBLE. I really hope you are still pursuing music as best as you can. seriously
Only true Tool fans will understand that this is awesome!
I watched this video when you had just put it out and loved it from the beginning. Can’t believe it’s been 14 years! I actually think the picture falling adds to it now. It’s the grand finale
How the fuck I never seen this video before??? One of the best covers on youtube!!
Saludos desde Chile♡
Te has demorado 9 años y cuarto.
Pham Escobar viva chile!!!
what are you
I have been watching this video for 2 years and it still hasnt aged on me yet. Monroe keep rockin man!
Congratualtions to everyone whos here, for being part of the sloution rather than the problem. Love you brothers and sisters :)
love it :)
Can’t believe I JUST NOW found this masterpiece... in 2020, 12 years after this was posted
Dude you what are trying to do cover the WHOLE song? You can't cover a whole tool song with just a piano WTF are thinking? Oh shit! Pretty sure that's what you just did! Speechless!
Still watch this after all these years.
Still feels weird to be able to come back to this moment in time.
This is one of the most incredible musical performances I’ve ever seen. You are fantastic. Even though it’s a cover, you’re speaking phrases and emotion with your fingers, telling an embedded story as you sing the words to the song. Like…. Holy shit.
Much appreciated. Thank you 🙂🙏
Holy CRAP i'm impressed! Start writing your own music and you'll be the new Elton John (but with cooler music, obviously)
no sheet music?
after 9 years, this still mesmerizes me, every single time. it gives. Thank you, if i haven't thanked you yet. for this.
And I want to thank the peron that showed me this. Because i don't remember his name. But it was a revelation for sure, on so many levels.
Guys from Tool should hire you insted of waiting for Maynard to record album...
Here watching in 2019 anyone?
I saved this video 13 years ago, and it's never leaving. Love rediscovering it every couple of years. Thanks for the tunes 🤘
🤘
you know I listen to this every day...without fail and every day its like you've plugged my spine into the mains, thank you for this, I know the last comment was mine as well, but I thought you needed to know this
Hey man, just wanna say........thank you for this. This rendition has brought a whole new musical meaning to one of my favorite songs. Absolutely incredible.
OMG I cant contain the butterflies in my stomach. Words can't explain. No mater what I can think of just doesn't justify. So truly gifted
I like all of your covers, but this is RIDICULOUS (In the sense that I'm truly amazed that you've managed to do an awesome arrangement of the song on piano AND sing at the same time). awesome stuff
This is truly one of the most incredible things I've ever seen a person do. You rule!
I've been listening to this for years and it still has the same incredible impact. Adam this is my favorite cover. You are an impressive artist.
i like that it's not edited.... alot of covers you see online now-a-days have been changed alot before posting.... great job.
I have followed you for quite some time. Have been playing guitar, singing, and writing for years. I want to learn how to play keys/piano.... but this just makes me want to quit. I simply don't see how I can ever match this... this is my gold standard. My "musicianship" is over.
I keep coming back here over the last few years and every single time, I am just as blown away if not even more so than the first time I listened to this. Amazing.
Congrats on reaching 1 mill monroe you are a true inspiration to all other music artists out there THANK YOU
This is the first video I've come across where the advertisement didn't totally piss me off. Much love for the piano; wish I never gave up on it.
been playing piano for 30 years...never thought of tackling this...well played mate...love it...
This is absolutely beautiful. One of the most moving covers of this song that I've heard.
i keep coming back to this video. no one has ever done such beautiful and respectful cover as this for tool's songs (with vocals). you nailed it. brought all instruments into one piano part. very, very difficult and creative.
When you sang "REACHING OUT TO EMBRACE THE RANDOM!" My heart flipped in my chest. You are incredible.
Words cannot describe how thoroughly impressive this is. Great Job, Sir!
In all honesty, I don't understand why this video would have dislikes, let alone 169. His piano skills are already impressive by themself, and the fact that he can sing at the same time is twice as impressive. Even if you don't particularly "like" the video, I can't comprehend what there is to dislike. Maybe they're just annoyed that they can't play like that? I dunno. Anybody care to enlighten?
Oh and in case it's not evident, I think this is amazing. Wonderful job. *smile*
Hard to believe it's been 15 years. This is still my favorite cover song. I remember first hearing this when it was new and being awestruck. So much so I made it a part of my Myspace homepage in high school lol. I still come back to this a couple times a year and without fail the head and shoulders start undulating to the rythem and the goosebumps start. Thank you Adam for this brilliant cover, I hope you're well.
Less time for music these days but doing well. Fascinating how much has changes since the days of MySpace! Cheers 🍻
@@monroe12478 A lot has changed indeed. At least we'll always have our music and the memories it carries. I'm glad you're well.
I tell people about this video all the time. It is absolutely... Breathtaking!
Thank you for sharing this, you are extremely talented. Most accurate Kennan vocals I've ever heard.
Quite simply this is one of the most wonderful masterpieces on TH-cam.
amazing. not just technically impressive but real feeling in the playing as well. superb, well done, and i can't believe you sang at the same time as well! this cover moved me.
Jesus Christ. The guitar bass and vocals alone would've been impressive, but that 6/8 vs. 5/8 was insane. Excellent work!
i havent seen this in years. still the best piano cover i have ever heard
I've been watching this for years. Thank you.
Besides the fact that he has a great, great, unique voice, singing this sh*t and playing the piano like that at the same time is absolutely otherworldly.
One of the most amazing things I have ever seen. On par with the most difficult classical or jazz pieces, though certain practitioners of those genres would scoff at the notion. To them I would reply: try to come CLOSE to replicating this man's rendition. They couldn't. Truly.... transcendent. Yes, that's the word.
You, Sir, have just sent chills up my spine. I didn't think anyone could cover my favorite song of all time... You just did. And you covered it on my favorite instrument. Damn.
you look like making your fingers move in an inhuman way is effortless and your voice has a similar style to maynard's, which made this 10x better. this was simply amazing. thank you for sharing your amazing skills!
Have had a youtube account for 5 years and just now leaving my first comment ever because this deserves it. This is incredible, gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. Keep the songs coming Adam, a cover to Passive would be cool to see.
i have to say that this is incredible and man !!!!!! and 160 people are deaf ...awesome interpretation and your skills are mad i wish you good health and years of playing music like that !!!!
You truly just blew my mind, unlike any other cover done by so many others, you turned a very meaningful song into your own, and poured everything into it. Honestly if Tool hadn't done this song, and you came up with it. I would most definitely be a fan, awesome job, and keep the videos coming. You can inspire anyone
