Everlong - Foo Fighters Piano Cover (with sheet music)

[@GregSkalakPiano]

Thank you for all the views, comments and support on this video over the last 9 (!) years! I am still making videos :) If you have time please check out my recent cover of Mr. Brightside: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6bcqa1nlrFmhqs

[@HeathBlair]

I put it on .75 mode to slow down the speed and it sounds majestic Keep playing and keep creating!! This was great and a random search that I thought would be on KZbin and I wasn’t disappointed!!

[@patrickbanick2174]

You should re-upload this with you playing along with synthesia. You'd get millions of views on it and it would help a lot more people learn your arrangement. (That of course don't read sheet music) - Like me. :)

[@dougthealligator]

the thing that amazes me the most is how you play the lead and rythym riffs at the same time and then so the same thing with the vocal melody

[@Charlotte-zj3ng]

How could one physically press that dislike button. They must surely just be jealous, because this is amazingly beautiful. Well done

[@Hitoribocchi_tokyo]

[@inkindulgence1]

I ordered the sheet music from this guy... and something you can't appreciate from just the video is the STRENGTH you have to have in your hands to play this song the full way through. This song made my hands, fingers, and wrists HURT like few songs have. The product is beautiful, but until I learned it I didn't fully appreciate the physical effort that goes into this. Well done!

[@gregzz259]

Those 131 people were so shocked by how amazing this is they accidentally flipped their screen upside down to like it.

[@OrsolyaPap-f2o]

1,3 million now! 💙

[@inkindulgence1]

It is fairly repetitive, but very fast. My main problem was that I have smaller hands and parts of the song you have to reach/stretch so far in such a small time frame it took me a lot of practice. You can totally do it though!

i don't understand how somebody, let alone 20 people, could dislike this.. this is extraordinary. he took an amazing song by the Foo Fighters and made it even more so beautiful. very outstanding! (OddBall)

[@MsMadameMadmoiselle]

Wow. I'm playing piano for 12 Years now, and i never heard something like this ! It's simply amazing!! never stop making music, you are unbelievable

Listening to this guy playing this song takes me back in time, such nostalgia. Superb.

Hello, I've waited here for you Everlong Tonight, I throw myself into And out of the red, out of her head she sang Come down and waste away with me Down with me Slow how you wanted it to be I'm over my head, out of her head she sang And I wonder When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You got to promise not to stop when I say when She sang Breathe out so I can breathe you in Hold you in And now I know you've always been Out of your head, out of my head I sang And I wonder When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You got to promise not to stop when I say when She sang And I wonder If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You got to promise not to stop when I say when

[@amandamusic29]

Mind = blown. You're incredibly talented, this was epic.

[@tmsmith8610]

I saw this on Facebook posted by the FOO FIGHTERS!!!! Gave me chills and brought tears to my ears. Awesome job!!!!

[@SomeRandomPotato43]

The jumps are so impressive, my brain cannot even comprehend how hard this was to play.

[@youremessy]

Dave is proud of this! He - or the one who administers it - shared this video on the Foo Fighters page like a year ago.. quite awesome, or not..this is just greatness!

[@lycanthrope1980]

I have loved this song for years, and have been searching for a while for a good piano version. This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing this.

[@TheMswilson123]

This HANDS DOWN my favorite song of all time, and the piano cover is INCREDIBLE! I'm telling everyone I know about it. Just absolutely amazing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us, Greg.

[@MetallicFirebug]

I was amazed by the complexity of your cover. My cat was amazed by how fast your hands were moving.

[@jdm6479]

you're a fucking beast holy shit

[@elmundo62]

I usually watch KZbin in double time, except for music of course. This masterpiece had me checking my settings, even though i realised from the sound that it is "normal" speed for Everlong

[@SillyNag]

Now THAT is talent

[@MongTengHungNhps]

Greg Skalak you are an ABSOLUTE LEGEND AT HAVING BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS TYSM!!!!!!!

[@kasiakarazim]

HOLY GUACAMOLE. AMAZING PIANO COVER of a tune I never expected could translate from guitar to piano. I am not worthy!

[@Toncu]

On behalf of the rest of us with a lifelong rock 'n' roll fantasy, you've done us all proud, sir. Congratulations on your well-earned recognition and admiration.

[@frankd14321]

One of the best modern day songs ever written!

[@martinalegriamaury4911]

¡¡¡Monstruosidad!!! Se puede percibir sentimiento: confusión, rabia, ira, lamento, resignación, etc... Hay equilibrio y sobriedad. Un respetable cover... ¡Felicitaciones y gracias!

[@ShibaInuMochi]

mad piano skills, I'm really impressed.

[@isaiahlopez3525]

That was beautiful...the piano has always been my favorite sound of instrument...just when I thought one of my favorite classics couldn't get better...Damn

[@ACCH-cm9ou]

ï love you man.....hearing this on piano didn't lose anything of the power,the melody and the beautoful structure of this incredibly beautoful

My favorite song of all time + my favorite instrument = bliss. Incredible cover!!

[@wojtekimbier]

Congrats on 1M views, great music

it touched my heart

[@kevinburke3179]

Dave already is proud of him! Dave gave him a shout out on facebook and added this link to 'foo fighters' page a few months back now! Love this, and obviously one of the greats thought it was amazing as well. Kudos to you

[@GregSkalakPiano]

Thank you! Means a lot to hear that from a Foo Fighters fan :)

[@Fightingirishajf]

@TalkWithYourFingers This is pure talent. Keep doing what you're doing. This world needs more talent like yours. Beautiful.

[@MrKalpanio]

this cover proves that Everlong is awesome!

[@ggabe2865]

I've legitimately never been more impressed by the. Base hand of a piano ever. That speed and dexterity and precision, damn!

[@TheArcticGiantWalks]

Absolutely Perfect. 10000000/10

[@amo289]

I still get chills from this cover every single time

[@bchrabot]

This actually gave me the same feeling I get every time I see them play it concert. Speechless.

[@andrewkehoe455]

Having returned home to Virginia for Christmas 1996, Grohl turned the initial riff into a complete song and wrote the lyrics after falling for a new woman, "That song's about a girl that I'd fallen in love with and it was basically about being connected to someone so much, that not only do you love them physically and spiritually, but when you sing along with them you harmonise perfectly.".

[@TheBlueberrySparkles]

Foo Fighters brought me here. You must be a very lucky man. I remember seeing this video when it only had a couple 100 views. Look at you now Bands our saying your FREAKIN' GOOD! You should be proud! Anyone could agree with me. Your amazing!

are u kiddin me??? one of my fav songs and THIS is just the best thing i’ve seen today . from brazil 🇧🇷 xx

[@GregSkalakPiano]

@taylorhruby With the amount of people asking, I feel like I have to make it available for download somehow. Think about it like this, when you sell a cover, you have to buy a license for it, and some of the money from that license goes towards the original artist. Alternatively I could distribute it for free and the Foo Fighters would get nothing, and I would probably be breaking some kind of copyright law.

[@33JBT81]

Wow! Love the passion which comes through in this rendition. The bass hand is fantastic; as someone noted below: this is a very difficult song to play all the way through. Well done, sir!

[@saracondell1803]

how many years have you been playing? I could never in my life play such an amazing piece in such an amazing way. This my absolute favorite thing on youtube!!!!

[@Hakucho64]

That looks really hard on the hands! I was waiting for your fingers to start bleeding, like that other YT video I watched.

[@mrrusty1965]

From a fellow pianist, way to go!! Franz Lizst would be proud. :-)

@Kevinm2222 Let's just say I still can't believe how lucky I am, or explain how thankful I am to the Foo Fighters for making this possible :)

[@jonbibby9755]

The best thing I've seen on keys and probably my favourite Foo Fighters song

[@yode4ko]

Is it possible?.. Amazing hands!!!

[@Hoodoo376]

it's amazing to see how jealous all the little kids who can't play the piano are about how fast you can play this song, with such good accuracy. it's clearly not sped up, and that was amazing! :)

[@Cheesymoviesinc]

[@Babbs2222]

Oh. My. Word. My jaw dropped approximately 3729 times. This is 10000% perfection. You did a good freaking job.

I busted out my guitar and played along. I couldn't keep up! You rocked it, every time I listen to this I get chills!

[@Joos750]

this is very well done. almost captures the emotions of the song better due to the contrast of instruments between this cover and the original.

easily the best video I've seen in months. clearly the greatest piano video ever.

[@billyheinzer7670]

Never thought you could develop a crush on someones hands. You hit every note perfectly. No mistakes at all. You blow every one of us who plays out of the water. Excellent job. 😍

[@MrTablonX]

so peaceful and yet so full of energy...

[@Thankful72]

Even with the sheets, there's no way in hell I think I can play this now, but I'm going to use this as a model as I try to figure this out. Mind you, it took me three years to figure out the main line to Toad the Wet Sprocket's "Windmills", so I'm probably on the lowest tier possible. It's inspirational and I admire your dexterity.

[@Clair3Wils0n]

cannot stop watching this. it's gorgeous.

[@Chalmsloff]

An excellent cover of my favorite Foo Fighters song. I believe that any song worth it's musical salt MUST be able to be recreated on a piano, and you demonstrate that beautifully, so thank you very much.

[@jspade3]

WOW!!!! When that chorus dropped at 1:40 a chill went through my whole body. That was the best thing I've seen on youtube EVER! Amazing, simply amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@jolienaaman4235]

this is such an amazing cover. the best i’ve seen BRAVOOOOO

[@xcr0nx]

Literally got goosebumps watching this, great work man. You're beyond talented

Sent here by Foo Fighters... wow. You have real talent. Love it!

[@Frogger1093]

Gave me chills listening to that. Incredible work.

[@goldenguy250]

Truly amazing, you play that piano as if the keys light up in front of you and all you have to do is press them! That, sir, is some extreme talent. I wish to see more of these earasmic videos.

[@hellya257]

Dude this is the coolest thing I have ever heard and seen you are an awesome musician .

[@subie7800]

this was so perfect..the lyrics flowed smoothly in my head

[@DM_1313]

Talk with your fingers; I would add feel with your heart and express with your emotions. Boy you're one truly talented man! Hope you get the recognition you deserve one day.

[@azonic2002]

Watch the timer on the piano. It's dead on with the video, no speeding up. He really is this talented.

[@courtneylovely94]

This is amazing!!! The only person who'd dislike this can't spell "everlong" or even "piano"

[@corzinc]

It's ridiculous how good this is..... I love this song acoustic, but this takes the cake!

[@HoNeYzaBEAST]

that firtst15 to 20 seconds gave me chills so amazing

[@pigglespartypug]

I don't play the piano at all, but I have listened to Everlong so,so,so very many times, and singing along this sounds exactly the way the recording sounds. This is awesome, I hope you get a call from Dave. Bravo.

[@jmchillz]

Wow, this is way cool. This is easily my favorite Foo Fighters song. I am also someone who plays piano mostly by ear, so I can imagine the time and effort that must have gone into this. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, it honestly just made my day. :) PS- I saw this because the band shared it on THEIR facebook page!

[@jopmans123]

This is my favorite song of all time. And you even made it better! Good work man!
