Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Piano Cover)

[@Dan4096]

Imagine playing this to an audience 200 years ago

[@tl566]

I want to think people would bop to it, but there's such a thing as the devil's chords or something like that. I have no idea if or how many piano playing conventions a dubstep song breaks, but it would certainly draw eyebrows

[@klipnity]

@@tl566 Imagine playing tritone chords back in the day, it would get you killed lol

[@Xombie209]

Springeth break forever, bitches.

[@BrambleJam]

You should search this song on the squijeeblion to imagine what it could have sounded like a few hundred years ago

[@theleanmeanspaghettimachin949]

Holy fuck he even added the dub step into it

[@isaiah9x]

***** me too

[@rhetthancock3442]

***** It's actually ruining the song for me. I wish he would just do the pretty part. :p

[@AzzieBlue]

***** me too

[@cutemimi25]

I agree with most of you, The Dubstep would've made it worse.

[@shaymary5247]

+Macanzie Belle A TREU pianist considers ALL relevant sound pieces! :D

[@PinkBroBlueRope]

a dubstep piano cover? the day has come.

[@ZombieGaming212]

So you memorized every note, and played it perfectly, and had great audio. That is just awsome

[@WaitForItNow128]

You made rugged dubstep sound beautiful, while keeping the raw emotion of the original piece. Brilliantly done.

[@ientityxf668]

Here you realize that electronic music is not shit and its more complicated than a lot of people think, also having in consideration djs compose this themselves. The fact skrillex has strange hair and adds strange screams and distorsion to this songs doesnt mean hes not a genius. And this guy is too.

[@DavidVas0032]

I wouldn't personally say someone is a genius for being a certain part of their career. For most things in the world, they can be achieved just by trying. Spending time in courses and practicing can get to a intermediate level. Remember, someone like Einstein advanced the level of understanding amungst all of science and he was regarded as a genius so calling Skrillex and this piano cover-er a genius is actually an insult to real geniuses.

[@morgan9029]

Thank you so much you beautiful human ☯

[@Kasper-mu4ov]

I know this is a year old but skrillex is basically the guy who made dubstep popular. He did it once again 2 years ago with jack U. I think it is fair to consider skrilex a genius since he basically made a whole new genre of music (I know dubstep existed before skrillex but he defined the genre so much)

[@XxGR3YW01FxX]

Excellent piano translation; this is so relaxing to hear.

[@VERT1220]

I came for the ending lol. The best part of the song.

[@ProfessionalGreifer]

Yeeees! Smash those keys! Smash 'em into something beautiful!

[@Levitator07]

This might be my favourite piano cover of Strobe. Respect to Evan Duffy for laying the foundations, but you played this beautifully!

[@chriswhite1584]

So much better than always seeing and/or hearing someone singing a cover or creating their own song..! Now days that's all that one sees on t.v. and not all the instrumental talent that's out there..! This is Bad-Ass..!

[@jefffstone]

Perfect! Very nice! Skrillex has to see you!

[@DarkScarlettVixen]

I haven't heard the original, but this was played so beautifully...

[@codysmith1279]

wut!!?? you need to hear original!!!

[@mikemarino5335]

How did you even get here not knowing the original???

[@k128kevin]

Of all the piano covers of this song on youtube I think this one is the best. It's definitely my favorite.

[@ImmaSomerholic]

I've never tought that dubstep could sound that great on piano.. :) you deserved my like :)

[@mortevor]

This song on piano without dubstep drops is a very nice song.

[@ThoolooExpress]

Adam Augustyn But he played the drops...

[@mortevor]

Dubstep drobs played on piano sounds a lot less "brutal". Should they be still considered as dubstep drops?

[@ThoolooExpress]

Adam Augustyn I agree they're less brutal. However, I'd still call them drops, because they still fill the same role in the song. It's like how a crescendo is still a crescendo whether it goes from inaudible to blow your ears off or from mezzo-piano to mezzo-forte.

[@lasarousi]

Adam Augustyn like the other dude said, what everyone calls a drop is like a decrescendo followed by a quick crescendo and change in tune. basic music theory and dubstep surely is not the first one to do it, its more impacting in electronic music because the bass is a lot deeper, but many classical songs have a "drop", vivaldi used it often in his compositions.

[@m.raheej1699]

Agreed with you

[@JediToad11]

congrats on 1 million

[@antibullllseye]

Good Sir! You have just Done the near impossible. You have just made Skrillex sound classy!

[@SebastianToThem18]

I really like this. the piano is BEAUTIFUL and the base drop is still pretty brutal! Good job!!

[@mr.j8356]

Very great arrangements you got there! I spend a lot time today listening to all of them! Earned yourself one more fan!

[@RoscoeDashin]

Good shit Adam Sandler!

[@ignabytes]

This was just marvelous!! I got speechless. I know you can find a piano cover of almost any song you can imagine but I just wasn't expecting to find one of Skrillex. I will try to learn it! I loved your video man, keep up with the good work! :DD

[@xxelitexxgruntetalica3899]

Amazing is the one and only word to describe this amazing artist!!! Keep on producing music, your great at it :D

[@TheCreativeCreeps]

I used to love Skrillex, but now I hate him. This cover isn't Skrillex though. This is Evan Duffy being awesome.

[@thomaspotemciano]

If i didnt read the title i would hqve thought this was classical music

[@SikoKinesis]

The intervals are wrong to be classical.

[@amateurschallenge]

***** :P

[@Frazerfelix]

***** There is nothing wrong with it, it's his choice

[@SikoKinesis]

I wasn't criticizing the musician. I was simply pointing out that this piece of music doesn't contain the correct intervals for a classical piece.

[@Frazerfelix]

Aha. Sorry :P

[@Lnschsk]

oh my gosssh. eargasmm

[@kamaltiwari5842]

[@HouseMixProductions]

In that case you can say the same thing about Evan Duffy. "I'd like to see Mr. Duffy compose a badass dubstep tune on the production software Ableton." My respect and standing ovation to Evan for his amazing work. Love his covers. But also, my respect to Skrillex and many other EDM producers. Many people forget that in our modern world the computer has become a instrument.. and not all people can play it. Just as not all people can play the guitar or the piano.

[@robertm.6243]

Thats simply incredible!

[@justaddnosplease]
