The prob w/ many musicians is they forget that they are playing for an audience. Audiences don’t care for all that technical mumbo-jumbo. We just want to be entertained. Playing for technical prowess is like masturbating. You’re just playing for yourself. That’s why I like pop music. It entertains and by the way it sells.

Agreed with everyone. I play the piano too, i’m not sucha good one either, but i can play this piece exactly the same way as he. Which is to say, in a way that respects neither tempo, rythm, or stress.

I gotta say that while this guy is talented for sure, but he kinda butchers this song for his own glory. There are several points in the song where he exaggerates pieces just for style and not because it adds anything to the song. In fact, I found it more detracted from the song. Metallica may be dying off as a band these days, but Nothing Else Matters will go down as one of their truly iconic contributions to the rock world. He should have just stuck with the song as is and played it out.

Don’t get my wrong though, you are kick ass on the piano, you just need a little discretion when it comes to re-working established pieces…

To your point on overplaying and destroying the timbre, there have been numerous String, and Piano tributes to Tool, and in most of them, theres just a constant overplaying that completely destroys the songs.
The piano tribute to Tool is a good example.. The bad songs sound nothing like the original versions, off time, stuttering, easily repeatable with the proper attitude, but butchered by “Ark” or whatever his name is.
And even on the good songs, the guy adds so much garbage just to stroke his own ego, running his hands down the keyboard at inapopriate times (everytime) ruining the tempo and timing on songs that even i could play given proper instruction.

Yah a little over the top for a solo piece, but you have to consider that he is playing the rhythm, lead, and the voice part all meshed into one instrument. All in all enjoyable. I like other covers of this song more.
