His voice is like a perfect hybrid of Maynard and Brandon Boyd. Back when this video first came out, I literally gave it 5 stars. You'll know what I'm talking about if you're old enough.
I fell the same. I watched this video a long time ago and this guy looks like my best friend (unfortunately he passed away and I miss him so much). This video remember me all the good moments we passed through. APC rocks!!!
89 people disliked this? They obviously don't have a fucking clue what talent or what a good musician sounds like. I've watched this video dozens of times. I love this version just as much as the original!
Story time about Adam and this song in particular..... When i was super fucking young I recorded a cover of me singing a duet to his version of this song and sent it to him. And he responded to me! He told me to keep up the good work and he liked the harmonies I had chosen. It might seem like the tiniest thing to some but it was the BIGGEST thing to me. I kept singing and now I'm a professional musician. I got a shout out in a news publication because of my vocals in a theater production and I sang Carole King at a beautiful wedding for the father and daughter dance. But people like Adam responding to my little weird email of me singing along with him, made ALL the difference. Thanks man. This video should have over a million views. Your talent and your kindness are felt by all who view this.
Hi Stef. Thanks for your kind words. It’s humbling to think I played a part in motivating you to keep singing. Great that you are doing what you love. Seems the message is coming back around...because you just inspired me to head over to the piano. 🙂 Best of luck to you!
Still coming back to this. I first heard this around 15 years ago and had listened to everything you did. A true testament to the beauty of what you do. I have held onto hope for a long long time that you would resurface one day and i would get to hear some new stuff. Regardless, i will always go back to the oldies. 🤟
patrick thompson I agree, looked him up online the other night and he's apparently a dentist now. Guess he doesn't have enough time to post videos but good lord his tool/apc covers are awesome.
Whenever I wanna hear an acoustic or different version of this song ( which I truly love) I put this on. Been listening to this guy for like 4 yrs now. Lol.
I can't believe this doesn't have more views...I remember when it was at like 250K and thinking that its a sure thing to be a multi million view video. In some ways its a travesty that it doesn't have more views. In others, the limited views give it an almost more intimate feel. Like this is my own private secret garden.
1000 times ive watched this... And Still... Its Perfect... Everything Is Flawed... Except Original 3 Libra's... And This Cover. PERFECT Tone And Emotion Is All You Need To Get Me Going.
Wow I think Maynard has an amazing voice but you are right up there with him. It's so perfect for the song. Once of my favorites. walked down the aisle to 3 Libras played by a string quartet. Such a beautiful song. people who didnt know the song would never guess who it is by. A few knew and came up to me and were like awesome. OK back to you. I get chills hearing the string version but yours is amazing. You created such a full song and your voice just tops it off. It's so amazing. I am picky about music and only certain songs can I listen to over and over and still get butterflies (almost like that falling in love feeling) and your rendition gives me that. Thank you so much for this masterpeice
I'm still watching this 10 years later brotha. Taught myself piano, but I'm trying to figure out which keys you're hitting haha. Hope you're still jammin out to Tool/A Perfect Circle!
Dear Mr. Monroe, I've been visiting your channel to listen to you croon for a decade. Are you even alive? Sincerely, A Guy Who Thinks You Sing Even Better Than The Godlike Vocalists You Cover.
I too am revisiting this. I started listening to APC when I was 15. I'm now 32. This song remains one of my favorite APC songs. This cover is also the best cover of this song.
I guess those 6500 people being the majority who love the cover are tone deaf, hopefully your version will have all the corrections. You've got to understand passion bro, before your able to comprehend true musical talent. As he said "Hope you enjoy it from my perspective."
Luckily for everyone, were not all perfectionists and appreciate music for what it is. Whether or not its a masterpiece or just a cover with some mistakes. People just love sound coming together, and almost coming together is good enough for most of us.
Grantwad Wow you totally didn't understand my sarcasm, MY comment is positive, 7 people agreed with you dissing on my comment, but those 7 people are completely retarded, because my comment is positive and I'm actually dissing on the comment before my own in which a real troller said this cover sucked.. People have gone completely retarded... Anyways to clarify, this guy is an amazing vocalist, it wasn't even a studio recording, yet its so powerful, and you can see his passion for music.
15 years later, thanks YT algo. I hadn't seen this in a while! I honestly forgot how impressive your work is. Insane talent playing 3 instruments simultaneously (voice, mic, piano).
For someone that has been browsing UA-cam for the past ten years you're by far my favorite. This is better than the original. It hurst seeing talents like Justin Bieder succeed while thinking you are dead.
This is the only coverversion I've come across of this song that clearly captures the pain and frustration Maynard displays in the "you don't see me"-part. Since the theme of the song is unacquitted love I'd even go so far as to say that that part is the heart of the song. Anyhow, i reckon it is the part of the song that demands the most of its singer in terms of emotional input and it also works quite well as a piano adaptation! Great piece of work!
His voice is like a perfect hybrid of Maynard and Brandon Boyd. Back when this video first came out, I literally gave it 5 stars. You'll know what I'm talking about if you're old enough.
I understand and you are 1000% correct!
agreed
+knifeforkandaspoon Yeah he is fucking amazing. How he's not making million of dollars a day is beyond me.
knifeforkandaspoon yessir
He is. He is in Billy Howerdel's (Creator and guitar player for APC) band Ashes Divide....
14 years and I'm still coming back. Beautiful.
I'm still am
Me too
I’ve been listening to your rendition for over a decade… thank you so much for this and please NEVER take it down!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
🙂👍
I remember I watched this video when I was like 20 and now I'm 30, time flies..
I watch this video when I was like 18 and now I'm 28. I wonder what happened with this guy
@@HuskyHOscar He's in a band called Ashes Divide with the guitarist of A Perfect Circle
I fell the same. I watched this video a long time ago and this guy looks like my best friend (unfortunately he passed away and I miss him so much). This video remember me all the good moments we passed through. APC rocks!!!
me too man haha
😍
10 years later and i still get pregnant listening to this.
Me too, and I am a guy :)
Hahaha
Same
"Am I pregonate?"
Oh shit I'm gonna take my pregnancy test
2020...this cover has a timeless beauty
A Perfect Cover
ua-cam.com/video/hksjFeKTGyU/v-deo.html check mine out
Nice pun
I watched this shortly after i first discovered UA-cam. By far still the best cover of 3 Libras. Here i am in 2020 now 31 enjoying this.
I don't know what's sadder: this song or the fact that Adam Monroe is no longer making videos. Unbelievable cover!
Well I guess he does... 😊
Dang! Haven’t listened to this in like a decade. Still sounds amazing.
89 people disliked this? They obviously don't have a fucking clue what talent or what a good musician sounds like. I've watched this video dozens of times. I love this version just as much as the original!
Im back after 14 years. Still sounds amazing!
One of the best piano cover that I've ever heard. This deserves million views!
Still brings a tear to my eye, bro that has to be the most incredible cover i've ever heard.
2020 Still come back!!
This is so incredible. You managed to match Maynard's gorgeous voice AND simultaneously play the piano. Hats off to you.
dude iv been listening to u since i was 19...im 32 now. This song really brings me back! Thanks!
jeez time sure does fly, its 2019 and this popped in my head..
Ridiculously good cover

Simply Amazing!!! Music is Therapy for Our Souls..... 🌻❤️🎶🙌

Wow....amazing voice.
Hey sis miss you love you 😁😁Pastor Chris will be home soooooon....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏#timeserved
The most beautiful and soulful rendition I've ever heard. Wow. [takes off hat and bows down!]
Such a shame your not on here doing music anymore, I'd pay for an album by you doing full covers of maynard!
patrick thompson I agree, looked him up online the other night and he's apparently a dentist now. Guess he doesn't have enough time to post videos but good lord his tool/apc covers are awesome.
Oh that's awesome! He's making good money the
jesus... im not gay, but im in love!
George Lopez nope, you're gay alright.
...I felt this...🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
Dude, that was f’n phenomenal.
Whenever I wanna hear an acoustic or different version of this song ( which I truly love) I put this on. Been listening to this guy for like 4 yrs now. Lol.
This song always made me sad but your cover makes me even sadder as I'll never be able to sing as good as you and I want so badly to be able to.
Yep, Best cover song I've ever seen.
I have been coming back here for years.
🍻
You Sing peace love and understanding into this world my friend❤❤❤❤
Talento en su máxima expresión, saludos desde Chile......
Best cover of the song.
Nah look Sarah Jane music and hear her cover. I don’t hate this but I feel like this is a litttle Broadway and doesn’t capture the feeling correctly.
I can't believe this doesn't have more views...I remember when it was at like 250K and thinking that its a sure thing to be a multi million view video. In some ways its a travesty that it doesn't have more views. In others, the limited views give it an almost more intimate feel. Like this is my own private secret garden.
I was expecting a slacker performance, since most covers are...but this was incredible. You voice oozes raw talent, love it man
Bravissimo👍
Perfect like the original
Tony Stiltner perfect like a circle
My first time hearing this dude. Probably the only guy who can really cover this song that I've seen.
I can't believe im just discovering this gem. Your voice is incredible 🩷🫶🩷
Fucking unreal man you nailed manards vocals like bang on
ive already watch this video like 30 times... lol! and the orestes cover.
1000 times ive watched this... And Still... Its Perfect... Everything Is Flawed... Except Original 3 Libra's... And This Cover. PERFECT Tone And Emotion Is All You Need To Get Me Going.
Just as good as the first time I heard this...probably more than 10 years ago!!

This is still as beautiful as I remember it from over a decade ago. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Adam.
Wow! Vocals and board work was awsome. Amazing how the labels overlook the ppl with un believable talent.
Dear Mr. Monroe, I've been visiting your channel to listen to you croon for a decade. Are you even alive?
Sincerely, A Guy Who Thinks You Sing Even Better Than The Godlike Vocalists You Cover.
Harris Ejaz you are insane
Not by a longshot.
while i think that Mr Monroe is very talented in his own right, there is just no one like Maynard.
I too am revisiting this. I started listening to APC when I was 15. I'm now 32. This song remains one of my favorite APC songs. This cover is also the best cover of this song.
I know your comment is really old, but I just found his Facebook. He’s indeed still out there. Adam Monroe is his full name.
This is a truly stellar tribute. Did she ever see you?
That was very beautiful.
Still is a fantastic cover in 2021 🥰
This is stupid good! My gawd

Frank Frankerson that's cuz the person before you erased the comment.... >.> now you guys make peace and be nice to each other. lol
No homo but this dude is pretty fuckin amazing.
A Perfect Cover. Great voice!
Whenever I feel down or depressed I visit and just let my thoughts go away as I get carried away in this amazing song

Christopher Franko this guy does a great outsider as well
PLS COME BACK!!!!!
this is outstanding!!!!! hope this guy is still singing somewhere because he has a gift
15 years later, thanks YT algo. I hadn't seen this in a while!
I honestly forgot how impressive your work is. Insane talent playing 3 instruments simultaneously (voice, mic, piano).
2:02 is where my ovaries exploded. just *damn*
Chill
Does anyone know where this singer went to ?????
Last I heard he was touring with Billy Howerdell from A Perfect Circle
Shane Ludwig yeah he was playing keyboard / backing vocals for Ashes Divide
Glad he's not dead, all his links are dead.
10 years ! wow I come back and look to see if he has posted anything new.
This instrumental gives me goosebumps. Every time.
Beautiful!😍💜
NSFO (Not safe for ovaries) lol
For someone that has been browsing UA-cam for the past ten years you're by far my favorite. This is better than the original. It hurst seeing talents like Justin Bieder succeed while thinking you are dead.
He is dead?
It's always a pleasure to hear you play this song. Your piano playing is fantastic!
This is beautiful. I closed my eyes and can feel the music running through me. Thanks so much for the experience.
I've watched all your APC covers, AMAZING!!!
absolutely amazing!! i love how you interpret these songs
Amazing..absolutely amazing.
Dude this is beautiful! Haunting version of it! Genius!
One of the most beautiful renditions of a phenomenal song I've ever heard...😇💗
I like it when youtube reminds me of amazing videos like this one here which fits my mood perfectly!
Adam.... you're awesome... I think I've watched almost all your videos and they're just worth of watching once and again and again... non-stop...
Amazing...absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your talents. Truly a gift!
absolutely incredible!
its been a few years but I'm back once again to hear this amazing cover, keep up the amazing work Adam!
Absolutely blown away by your cover.
Beautifuly done.
WOW!!! That was sooo beautiful.
you're absolutely awesome....I never get tired of watching your videos....you're such a talented artist man....
This was an awesome cover, loved the sound, keep up the good work!
Extremely impressed. Absolutely beautiful.
simply awesome!
Nice to see someone capture the passion of the music. Nicely done.
This is the only coverversion I've come across of this song that clearly captures the pain and frustration Maynard displays in the "you don't see me"-part.

Great piece of work!
Very nice work man! I absolutely love it!
simply beautiful
I can't believe how -impressed- I am with your playing and your voice. It is amazing, well done, you should be very proud of yourself.
magic... just beautiful.. loving your tool and apc covers
This is amazing and flawless.
Amazing. Just simply amazing....
I just can't get over how amazing he is!
Absolutley beautiful! Really nice job!
My favorite song of all eternity and you nailed it. 10 thumbs up.
Amazing cover. Just amazing.
Awesome! Honestly - amazing!
