Seriously! It was more than ten years ago for me, though. I remember listening to him here on youtube for the first time and then a few months later it was announced that he was going to be a touring member of Ashes Divide. Luckily I got to see them live before Adam left the band. I hope if Ashes Divide puts out another album/tours he is a part of it again.
My son started piano lessons, so I looked up piano players that played Tool. One of my favorite bands back in the 90's. Little did I know then that he would perform at Carnegie Hall. Thanks Monroe
I waited 13 years for Tool's new album. And I waited 13 years since your first Tool cover for this one! Thanks for coming back to UA-cam at a time we needed you!
The year was 2006. I had just got home from a boring day in my senior year of high school. Grabbed a handful of snacks, turned on youtube to listen to your APC/Tool covers while I grinded levels on RO. Fifteen years later, it all comes back, like a circle.
What a trip ! Randomly was looking at Tool piano covers and thought ... what ever happened to that guy I used to follow 15 years ago . Looked around and found this . Was super stoked to know he’s still in the game and living in my city now ! Very cool.
This is ridiculous. The rhythm, the accuracy, the execution, the dynamics of the playing, ALL WHILE singing beautifully. I don't think most people here truly realise how incredible this performance is.
Is just unbelievable that Tool pulls out this song just before the world's pandemics, and this dude returns from the ashes with his amazing talent at the exact time. Something good had to come out of this!
Bought a piano 2 days ago thanks to this guy and his inspiring skills. Now that I'm getting an idea of what playing piano is all about, these performances are even more impressive
That’s awesome. Just made my day. Makes me so happy that I could play at least some small part in motivating you to want to learn the instrument. Keep it up man. Well worth it 👍
Unbelievable man, I used to watch your Lateralus video all the time back in highschool. This truly was a treat to wake up to. Thank you, amazing stuff!
Congrats on another hit, Adam. Huge fan. My wife rolls her eyes, “Again?” Haha she likes your voice and talent, as well. I got her hooked. She just doesn’t like admitting it.
Damn. This is the first time I'm hearing this. 2 years after you did it. And something like 15 years after i first discovered you. I almost lost hope that i would ever get to hear gems like this from you again. Damn its good to see you again. Here's to hopefully more to come! 🍻
I was just thinking about your Pardon Me cover that I used to listen to nonstop as a teenager. Couldn't remember your channel for the life of me. Kinda can't believe this notification just popped up.
FINALLLLLLLY. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I've been eagerly and patiently (PATIENTLYYY) waiting for your return. ❤ So, so good to have you back.
Like everyone else in these comments, I was subscribed and watching your covers 15 years ago... and I just stumbled upon these more recent videos. I love Tool and I love that you do too. Really awesome job.
Interesting fact.. mitosis is the dividing of a cell into two... Maynard sings "mitosis" at the exact middle of the song, thus splitting it right in two! You're welcome 😊
I know you skim over these most of the time adam, however, may I ask for an exception? You have inspired me in some crazy ways! Convince you was and is something I understand as one of the most important songs vocally and musically I've ever heard personally. You have inspired me for years and all I ask is that you would allow me to send you my originals and receive your feedback. It would be an honor to receive your raw emotion on songs I have spent over 2 decades writing. Please like this so he sees it!
The work in progress video was good enough, and then he does this. Well done sir, great to see someone do music like this on the piano and not just your average singer songwriter style.
Just saw Tool for the second time this month and I in the last year got my gf into living them! I for some reason thought about you Adam and I was going to tell her to check out your channel and was going to also say to her how is a shame because you for the most part really never post anymore and had a very pleasant surprise! You my friend are awesome and truly have a gift! I have loved tool basically from when I started listening to music till now and by love I mean they are my favorite band buy a landslide followed by A Perfect Circle. One thing I really love about them aside from everything is that the songs almost always get better the more you hear them! This especially goes for the entire Fear Innoculum album. Even though I liked it first time I heard it. It wasn't until I saw them play it live in November of 2019 I realized how great it truly was! I of course didn't know the songs like I did all the others where I couldn't literally sing along during the show like I always do with the other songs! Also hearing them live makes a Good song of theirs a masterpiece along the lines of Da vinci and Michelangelo during the Renaissance! Let's face it Tool isn't just music it's visual art and even performing to a point! I told my girlfriend before she saw them that I know you really like them right now but after and especially during the show your l life will be changed for both the better and for the worst to a an extent! That's because no matter who else you go and see live they can't even hold a candle to what you are going to see! I know people my dad one of them didn't like the genre of music or anything but after watching my Salival DVD that I had left in the player when I came back home for either the summer or just during my break while In college. He thought they were really cool but seeing live he said I don't have words! After the show I said to my gf well... She said you are absolutely correct and at this very moment I'm still trying to process all my feelings and emotions and can't yet translate into words! She said she wished that she had seen some more shows of a few other bands that she may like prior to seeing tool because unless it's going to see tool again she now knows nothing will compare and she still could possibly enjoy the show She will overall be disappointed! Lol. Anyway sorry for the rant there excited to see you again Adam and still hyped from seeing them twice in a matter of a few weeks! Please keep them coming brother! l
Right on man. Such an awesome experience to introduce someONE you love to someTHING you love...and then watch them go through the initial joys of discovering a passion you can now both share. I brought my father, who is a drummer, to see Tool in January. It was his first time and watching him freak out over Danny Carey's performance really made the experience special. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
@@monroe12478 Danny Carey is a god amongst men! That's awesome you brought your dad! I can't believe you commented on my post! Made my day! Please keep releasing bangers man! I wish you all the best!
You're like the ghost of christmas past 10 years ago. My first vid of yours was the Lateralus one and its still amongs my favo TooL covers. So glad to see you still doing this after so long.
This guy is like a cicada. Disappears for years and then comes back and makes beautiful noise
Facts!!
Hahaha
Pretty accurate
I just literally think about this guy and his channel few mins ago, and got a nice surprise when cm back here!
So he's just like Tool
Lol bro friggin hysterical. So true. He is just like Tool lol. I wish he covered every tool song. So amazing
wow... he's back!!
Do Culling Voices!!
@@scorpianomusic YES!
This is why I subbed this channel flipping 10 years ago!!
Exactly how I felt. I had a different account, but always hung around hoping for new content. Reliving the old.

Haha! Me too!
Right I think it's been longer then that
The people: Man, this year sucks
Adam: I think I have to do something about this
The Piano is to Monroe12478 as the Guitar is to Ernesto Schnack.
Now if we can get these two to collaborate!
I waited 13 years for Tool's new album. And I waited 13 years since your first Tool cover for this one! Thanks for coming back to UA-cam at a time we needed you!
Thinking the EXACT same 😏
The year was 2006. I had just got home from a boring day in my senior year of high school. Grabbed a handful of snacks, turned on youtube to listen to your APC/Tool covers while I grinded levels on RO. Fifteen years later, it all comes back, like a circle.
Would you say, A Perfect Circle? Lol
Tool fans hope won't get mad of me for this but....I do prefer Adam's version A LOT !!!
Adam, please go on, you are such a brilliant musician!!!💜
NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO THAT FAST, OH GOD THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!
Here I was thinking you'd never make a new video again---best. gift. ever!
Drop everything, Monroe posted another video
The only musician to cover Tool and totally get the vibe.
You've certainly upgraded your equipment since Schism and Lateralus covers. Still listening to them as I will listen to this in 10 years as well.
Come to say this. Vocals sound really good with this mic
What a trip ! Randomly was looking at Tool piano covers and thought ... what ever happened to that guy I used to follow 15 years ago . Looked around and found this . Was super stoked to know he’s still in the game and living in my city now ! Very cool.
Man, I wish more people did piano/vocal renditions of Tool songs...this is absolutely amazing!
I just listened to this sitting on a cliff edge in Ireland. The wind is howling,the sea is raging, it’s perfect,beauty in the turmoil.❤
Wow. Sounds like an awesome place to be
I've been listening to this dudes TOOL.
covers for years. Never gets old. Just as good now as it was the first time. Jeeeeez
So glad to see you well. Overcome and completely (not)silent now.
YES FINALLY YES
This is ridiculous. The rhythm, the accuracy, the execution, the dynamics of the playing, ALL WHILE singing beautifully.
I don't think most people here truly realise how incredible this performance is.
Very kind of you. Thank you 🙏
I never realized what a masterpiece this song was until I heard this cover. Thank you Monroe.
Christmas gift!! I hope this breaks the spell to this horrible year. We welcome 2021 with Adam Monroe 👌👌👌
Is just unbelievable that Tool pulls out this song just before the world's pandemics, and this dude returns from the ashes with his amazing talent at the exact time. Something good had to come out of this!
It's my birthday and what a gift this was.

That’s awesome. Just made my day. Makes me so happy that I could play at least some small part in motivating you to want to learn the instrument. Keep it up man. Well worth it 👍
SAME HERE! I just started a few months ago. Making good progress but this is goals 🔥
@@KayceJones Awesome!
Can you imagine Adam’s version of Descending!
Looking through his covers, he has the best music taste 👌🏻
Unbelievable man, I used to watch your Lateralus video all the time back in highschool. This truly was a treat to wake up to. Thank you, amazing stuff!
Congrats on another hit, Adam.
Huge fan. My wife rolls her eyes, “Again?”
Haha she likes your voice and talent, as well. I got her hooked. She just doesn’t like admitting it.
This version finally made my Mom appreciate Tool. Thank you.
Ha cheers 🙂👍
I been subbed for like 12 years now i still watch the old covers
Amazing! 🤩 Years ago you inspired me to do my own piano recordings. I am so happy that you are back! 💕
the one guy who's vids helped get us through a long year pops up at the end of it all for an amazing encore!
from all of us, thanks man
peace
Damn. This is the first time I'm hearing this. 2 years after you did it. And something like 15 years after i first discovered you. I almost lost hope that i would ever get to hear gems like this from you again. Damn its good to see you again. Here's to hopefully more to come! 🍻

Thank you 🙏
Best Tool covers on the internet. Thanks for coming back dude
🙏
Criminally underrated in terms of likes and views
I've been a Tool fan for 14 years....I might actually like your covers more than the original songs
I just literally think about this guy and his channel few mins ago, and got a nice surprise when cm back here!
Whoa! This guy!!
he reappears with every tool album. awesome cover!
Interesting fact.. mitosis is the dividing of a cell into two... Maynard sings "mitosis" at the exact middle of the song, thus splitting it right in two!
You're welcome 😊
Ha love it
Oh dear God yes !!!
Shivers, man... Thank you for this
Lol I didn't know you were in San Marcos. I was in San Antonio when I stumbled upon you many years ago
I miss the window with the cars driving by while he jams to the Outsider and Vicarious!
Thaks for back!!! I hear you sinse 2011
🍻
Man your music brightens up my day. Such a joy to hear. So glad to stumble back on your channel and see new uploads. Keep rockin man.
Dude, what a way to end the year... Tool songs on piano sound so emotional and I freaking love it.. Amazing cover as always!
Greatly appreciate your videos

Wow, amazing! Welcome back :)
He's alive! Nice work man, nailed it.
And I thought your Incubus covers were amazing 🤯 Maynard would be cynically proud
2020 just became okay again. Right in time.
Part of my Christmas morning playlist
Ha! Awesome. Merry Christmas! 😊
